Hatred, released on June 1st, 2015,
is a game all about hating everything.
More specifically, innocent humans.
The main objective in the game is to run around town
killing as many cops and defenseless civilians as possible.
Why?
Well, simply because your character
hates the world and everyone in it.
Hatred's just horrible concept was developed
into a fully fledged modern video game
by Destructive Creations using
leading game development software,
like the Unreal Engine 4 and NVIDIA PhysX.
The game was posted to Steam's Greenlight service,
where users could vote for it
to be published on the online market,
but it was quickly removed for being way too violent.
Violence, no, down vote.
But the next day the game was brought back onto Greenlight
with an apology of all things, and believe it or not,
it went on to become the most voted game on the service.
After its release, critics agreed
that beyond the shocking premise,
the game was just overall boring, bland, and not fun.
Grand Theft Auto III, released on October 22nd, 2001,
was a major revolution to the gaming industry
and brought the GTA series into the 3D realm
with an entire city to drive around and commit crimes in.
The nature of the GTA games is to do
the dirty work of higher ranking criminals,
and whether that be theft, assault, or murder,
it's already offensive enough.
But what's worse was in the options available to players
who wandered around the fictional city.
This was the first game to introduce
the solicitation of prostitutes whom you could kill
to retrieve the money that you gave them,
not to mention the new 3D graphics made the senseless murder
of innocent pedestrians all the more violent-looking.
The inclusion of the gratuitous sex and violence
got the game banned in Australia
until a modified version could be re-released,
and it still offended almost every parent
whose kid got their hands on a copy.
When Modern Warfare 2 was released on November 10th, 2009,
it became known for something not nice.
During the single player campaign on mission four,
you take the role of undercover CIA agent Joseph Allen,
who has infiltrated the team of an infamous
Russian terrorist named Vladmir Makarov.
The level starts out with you in an elevator
with a heavily armed and armored Makarov and three others.
At one point, he turns to you to remind everyone,
"No Russian," and then you calmly step out
into a packed airport security waiting line in Moscow
and unleash a storm of bullets into the crowd.
Okay, Call of Duty is known for putting in plot twists
and killing off some of the characters
as you play during story missions,
but no one was prepared for the surprise terrorist genocide.
Now, while the attack is important to the story,
the fact that you can personally play it out
kind of extends things past the line of shocking
and enters the deeply offensive zone.
It's just too much.
Supreme Columbine Massacre RPG
is an offensively titled and controversial game
created by a man named Danny Ledonne in 2005.
The game was created with the RPG Maker program
and features small 16 bit sprites and graphics,
but also includes sections where real images
of the perpetrators and the crime scene occur.
In the story, you play as both Columbine High School
students, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris,
as they plan out their assault on the school.
The events of the story take the player
through the setup and execution of the real events
that occurred on April 20th, 1999, as well as flashbacks
that lend more explanation to the killers' motives,
and then ultimately end up in hell for the final act.
Upon release, the game caused a large amount
of negative controversy in the media
because of its subject matter and its lack of empathy
for the victims of the shootings.
The game was actually defended by some,
but as you would imagine, unsuccessfully.
Aw, yeah, but it's like historical though, you know,
'cause you got like, the guns and stuff?
It's just--
Yeah, that's not a good argument.
Released on November 22nd, 2004 by Traffic Software,
Reloaded's stated intention is to act
as a historical simulator,
which makes it sound somewhat reasonable until you play it.
Players take the perspective of Lee Harvey Oswald
aiming down the sights of your sniper rifle
as you try to pick off the president,
who is rounding the street corner in his motorcade.
Holy offensive.
Firing on him produces some gruesomely accurate
results of JFK's real injuries,
as well as the reactions of those around him.
But it gets worse, because at the end of each assassination,
players will actually view a replay
of their historical recreation,
and then they'll be scored on how accurate their shots were
compared to the actual event.
If you get bored of trying to get a perfect score,
you can always enable an option in the settings
that causes NPCs to act erratically
and drive into walls and each other,
launching everyone from their car seats.
Custer's Revenge, released on September 23rd, 1982,
was created by the adult video game development company,
Mystique for the Atari 2600.
This might be the earliest offensive game.
In the game, you control Custer,
a naked man with a calvary hat,
a bandana, and a massive, yeah.
As Custer, you must run back and forth
to avoid an onslaught of arrows
and reach a Native American woman, also naked,
tied to a pole on the other side of the screen.
Reaching the woman allows you to engage
in what appears to be a forcible sex act,
which raises your score.
Offended yet?
Well, not only was the game needlessly lewd,
but also extremely racist and had players
sexually assault a defenseless character repeatedly.
This game offended everyone in the 80s,
including Atari itself, who tried to sue the game developers
for ever putting the abomination on their console.
But ultimately, the controversy and media attention
ended up actually helping the game's sales.
Well, I guess all publicity's good publicity
when you've got a giant pixelated wang
running across the screen.
The objective of the adult video game BoneTown
released in 2008 for the PC
is to have sex with all the women in the town.
Developed by D-Dub Software, BoneTown allows you
to play as different men as you run around
in proposed sexual encounters with different women.
And now for the really offensive part.
When you first start you're limited
to encounters with only overweight females,
who will immediately drop anything
that they're doing to get with you,
and the skinnier and more attractive females
need to be unlocked in some fashion.
These women can be approached
after certain mission objectives are completed,
like beating up the gangs of African pygmies
that are sexually assaulting them or completing goals
for other racist and stereotypical portrayals of people.
Oh, but Matt, how do I get a power up?
Let me tell ya.
All you gotta do is hire a prostitute,
or perhaps use some recreational drugs
to help increase your life bar.
Yeah, just like real life.
It's wonderful.
It's not offensive at all.
177, released in 1986 by Macadamia Software in Japan,
is a horrible retro game where you need to chase down
an attractive girl in order to tear off her clothes
and have sex with her in a very non-consensual way.
177 in Japan is actually the police code for rape,
if that's any indication of how messed up this game is.
You play as a man running after the girl as you hop
and jump over different obstacles that can slow you down.
If you get close to the girl,
you can throw things at her to slow her down,
and if you catch up with her,
you can rip off her clothes until she has nothing on.
I feel so weirded out right now.
It's creepy.
And if you catch up with her after all that,
the game switches to a different scene
where some absolutely terrible stuff happens,
which I'd rather not mention in this video.
If you're a sick person and manage to stick with the game
and avoid getting arrested until its finale,
you end up marrying the girl,
because that's obviously how romance works, right?
With a title like Playing History 2- Slave Trade,
it's a little surprising to know
that this was actually marketed
as an educational game for kids.
Now, aside from the disturbing mental images of teachers
asking, "Anyone up for a round of slave trade?"
The mostly disturbing part is that this subject
would even be made into a playable adventure for children.
Developed by Serious Games Interactive
and launched in September of 2013,
slave Trade places you as a young slave
on a ship in the 18th century.
Kids playing the point and click adventure game
are given objectives by their slave master,
who constantly berates them.
During their "adventure", they'll witness
the horrible conditions that slave ships provided
for their unfortunate passengers,
as well as the horrible treatment that went along with it.
And if your kids get tired of completing orders
for their angry white master,
they can always play a round of slave Tetris.
You can't make this up.
And now for the most enraging game of them all,
Ethnic Cleansing, the game that was created
for the PC by the white supremacist developer,
National Alliance, in 2002.
In Ethnic Cleansing, oh man, this is so bad,
you'll play as either a KKK member
or a neo-Nazi in the middle of a race war
with African Americans, Latinos, and Jewish people.
In the first person shooter, you'll start off
in the ghetto of an unidentified American city,
where you'll have to shoot
its African American and Latino residents.
After that, you'll enter a subway,
where all the Jewish citizens
are commonly found, apparently.
Then, you'll find the Yiddish Control Center,
which houses the final boss and former
Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon.
This stupid, stupid game is chock full
of the most offensive racist things
that you could possibly think of,
like monkey sound effects and anti-Semitic symbols
and sombreros, which can be racist,
even though they're just hats.
If you see any copies of this game, just destroy it,
'cause it's just, it's bad.
I just launched a brand new limited edition tee shirt
that's only available for two weeks until June 5th,
and once they're gone, they're gone forever.
So, get it now before it sells out by clicking
that little I on your screen or the link under this video.
And don't forget, I'll have a brand new video
for you tomorrow at three Eastern Standard Time,
so come by then.
Have a fantastic day.
