10 Most Offensive Video Game Moments Of The Decade (So Far)

1. Everything About Hatred

You have to love a game developer saying they made a game like Hatred as a "response" to how 'PC' and stale the mainstream gaming scene has become.

Guess they didn't notice the best-selling game of all time is the fifth instalment of something called Grand Theft Auto.

Regardless, Hatred plays like the inner-workings of an angry, angsty, mopey teen. Dialogue amounts to nothing more than an excuse to butcher everyone and everything in your path, with the character themselves describing their efforts as a "genocide crusade".

It would be throwaway, Hotline Miami-esque fun if it didn't take itself so seriously, instead Destructive Creations wrote the character's motivations in such a declarative way that it tastelessly connotes the after-effect commentaries from real-world atrocities like the Columbine High School shooting.

If there's one thing a game shouldn't ever do, it's hold up a mirror to such events and in any way attempt to draw any positive parallels.

Epic denounced Hatred from using their Unreal Engine logo in any promotional materials, and it took Valve's Gabe Newell himself to allow the game a space on Steam after it was pulled thanks to an overwhelming amount of negativity.
