A game where the objective is to perform non-stop grotesque and morally corrupt acts could only be enjoyed by edgy teens and sociopaths.

The opinion of the torture scene in GTA V was generally negative. Even in games where homicidal acts are encourage there is a line that can be crossed.

If you're looking for the real evil shit try finding a little-known, underground murderfest gem called "the GTA series"... if you dare to really get your "bad guy" on, kiddo.

But I've said too much.
>>
Overlord kinda lets you play the bad guy but it should be noted that both games have an asspull of you fighting something more evil than yourself as the final boss.

People love the Hitman series, dude.
>>
>>379173109
I'm pretty sure Hitman encourages you not to kill anyone but your target, and most of the targets deserved it at least a bit. So I'll give you grotesque, but it's hardly non-stop or corrupt.

Murder is illegal. Hiring people to kill people is also illegal. Whether or not you think they deserved it is irrelevant.

And yet, people still like the series even though what they are doing ingame is pretty indefensible, by any reasonable moral system.

Your logic is shit.

Armies don't commit murder (most of the time). They just kill people.

Yes, there is a legal and moral distinction. If you think that's a shaky argument, you're right. War is questionable on a lot of levels.

Postal 2 is one if you don't do a nonlethal playthrough.

I always found the dialog funny in that game since if you're playing nonlethal you just seem like a clueless moron in dangerous situations but if you're murdering everyone it's more like you're gloating about how untouchable you are.

>>379170856

Because it doesn't sell. Most people don't like to think of themselves as bad people and don't fantasize about doing bad things, they want to be heroes. Even games like GTA at least attempt to make the player character appear morally righteous in spite of all the shit they do.

They've got metrics on games that offer good and bad paths and almost everyone takes the good path when given the choice. It seriously something like 95%. And even when people make a conscious decision to take the bad path most of them wind up transitioning to the good path at some point during the play through. Basically, making a game where you are playing a bad guy means you are reducing your potential market by a very large amount.

Nobody's claiming they're the same thing. But there is absolutely a clear correlation between the laws and morals of any given society.
