The gameplay sucked ass, it's just repetitive "go there kill X" until you choke on it. Graphics/theme is the only thing that stands out as ok in an otherwise tiresome drudgery.

All the publicity from people worried about the theme probably increased their sales by a hundred-fold. 

The physics engine is nice but the bodies keep spazzing out. Camera and clipping on executions is terrible.

Played at a friend's. Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWKSopTFf2U for some gameplay

Man that's Fantastic!!! TB has the totally correct mindset about all the hoopla as well. I like how he goes on about how good the physics engine is, minus a few minor snags. I can easily forgive the minor issues. The only part that looks like a design flaw to me is how brutal it will be to start a whole level over when you die unless you earn a respawn token, but, I do enjoy a challenge in these types of games.

I'm guessing you said it sucked because you just don't enjoy these types of shooters too often and the stage objectives are bland? I can agree with that, as stated above it's not really a enthralling or deep experience, but then again neither is Galaga or something like the (old) Gauntlet. Nothing but kill kill kill get points. So yeah it's definitely not anything new or exciting in that regard. Definitely repetitive as you say, but all of these types of games are. Even Diablo is repetitive though it does have a lot of depth to it as far as character building and item hunting. Mechanics and quest wise it's still "click monster, monster die. Go here, fetch that." rinse recycle repeat.

At the beginning of TB's video there you hear the "Antagonist" spout a line about hating politics and politicians, it's funny even though his lines are corny how many of them I agree with lol. I really can't believe the moral grandstanding over this. It's really stupid looking at the blown out of proportion controversy in retrospect. I can't believe the stink that was made over this and yet not a Peep from the Lamestream media against GTA V when it came out. Rockstar must have thrown around a lot of money after that "Hot Coffee" fiasco to get the media off their backs.

Hatred still looks fun a hell to me. Like you said though it'll get repetitive fast. I'm hoping they might rework that respawn mechanic as well or I'll be playing on easy difficulty. Reflexes aren't what they used to be back when I had a controller in my hands. Either that or maybe there will be a workshop mod to make respawn tokens easier to get.

I'm even more stoked now after watching TB's vid. First real gameplay I've seen.

Thanks man

Aaaaaaand it's Out everyone!!! I'm running around like a mad man gunning down the fuzz. This game is a Laugh Riot!!! It's so over-the-top it's funny. Not a bad little shooter if I do say so myself. As was mentioned earlier in the thread though I wouldn't expect much as far as re-playability goes after you've beat it once unless you're one who goes for high scores and leaderboards and such.
