From Mortal Kombat and Rockstar's games to Custer's Revenge, JFK Reloaded, and more, 411's David McGregor ranks his Top 8 Most Controversial Video Games.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
A new book detailing the artwork of the franchise has been announced
Let me fix this title to something less click baity for you:
New Book: Mortal Kombat: Flawless Victory Announced.
The description clearly says what it is. It is not like people have to click to the site. They just have to read.
Sure they don't have to go to the site but to get to the description they already have to have clicked on it. Thus the term 'click bait'.
If its a book say its a book in the article title. Everyone’s gonna think this is a new game and get annoyed reading your description.
The Mods had no issues with the title.
The first line under the image says new book and you can see it in the preview windows without even having to click to read the description.
It also says a Visual History on the image.
On desktop and mobile the text a visual history is not visible in the thumbnail on the homepage.
I grew up on this stuff. Adding it to the art collection!
I do hope the next MK iteration goes back to the core of what made these characters appeal in the first place. A few of them lost their edge - I think I've had enough with some of the auntie designs 😂
Ahead of the release of the new Mortal Kombat skins in Fortnite, Epic Games has given players a first look at Scorpion, Kitana, and Raiden.
All the article is is the author ranting about how horrible these games are, I doubt they even have a sense of humor.
The problem with Rapelay is that people consider it as a video game, and it is only controversial in Occident.
Japanese people don't have the same culture.
Most Japaneses have sexual fetishisms that can be perceived as weird in Occident: humiliation, furry, nyotaimori, futa, bondage, lolicon / shotacon, panchira, public molesting,...
And many ero-games simulate those fetishes so consumers (mostly hikikomori) can fulfill their fantasies without the real-life restrictions (like having to have a partner to practice it).
Pseudo-rape belongs to those fetishes (and many Japanese couples simulate non-consented intercourses to fill that feeling), and this is why Rapelay exists.
And if you actually play the "game", you'll actually see that those "rapes" are far from the occidental perception of rape.
(Note: I did not write this to approve rape or rape simulations, I just wanted to explain the difference between occidental and Japanese sexual culture)
Postal 2 is hilarious and not at all meant to be taken seriously. Totally politically incorrect, puerile and disgusting. You literally can't do the things you can do in Postal 2 in any other game.
As for JFK Reloaded, well, I've used that as a coffee break game, there's some pretty decent mods out there for it.
And Rockstar. I think even they realised they went too far with Manhunt, that game lacked humanity.
And Mortal Kombat opened doors for games having more mature content whilst having ironic, bloody fatalities as finishers.
I have nothing to say in the defence of the other games.
I think the author missed the point with a lot of these games. Super Columbine RPG shouldn't be viewed as a typical game and if the author actually sat down and played it he would realize that its an alternative narrative. He really should just change the title to "8 Games that Disgust Me."
God these lists are boring, annoying, and a waste. Writers are being lazy with all these lists popping
