What happened to taking hostages as a mechanic?
Who won't games let you play as a police of some sort trying to stop the bad guy without civilian deaths, or as a crook using civilians as a shield and to get away?
I remember the mechanic was getting introduced at a good phase, but sort of dropped out and now shooters are just either war (with no civilians basically), or sports (like arena games).
Bring back civilians!!
Reminds me of best game

>>387118627
you can do it in shadow of mordor and mount and blade
i agree it needs to see more action, but things are going multiplayer these days
doesnt really work there

Payday 2 does hostages in a simple way. Having hostages extends downtime between police assault phases and you can trade them to get team members out of custody. You can also convert hostage cops to fight for you with a skill as unrealistic as that is.

XIII had PC release, dude.

Its on PC, dummy, no need to emulate.
Saints Row let you take hostages. It was kinda meh and mostly a overpowered melee move.

>Using humans as shields was removed from the german version of Saints Row 2
>Theres a mission where you have to use the villain gf as a shield to rob a bank
>In the german version she just follows you around doing what you say and then gets in the trunk of your car by herself

Seriously? The game must have been ridiculously fucking difficult without that mechanic.
>it's okay to play a game where you murder hundreds of people with guns and in brutal close combat
>but it's not okay to hold a person hostage so they get shot with bullets meant for you
It makes no sense

Wasn't there a german version of Counter Strike where if someone got their health to zero they'd put their hands behind their head and lay down on the floor instead of dying?

I don't understand this shit
censoring killing? like 80% of all games would be banned in germany, but that's not the case
why do they do this shit for a select few games

Censoring terrorists killing policemen, it is different than clones killing wookies.
