I've lost count of the poor, innocent zombies I've slaughtered in cold blood over the years.

Is that the promotion for the Game?:shocked:

I think that the developers need to be put on a watchlist tbh, because you can't even avoid the rape scenarios apparently.:umm2:

That tells me that it's a fantasy for at least one of the developers working on the Game.

That said of course - they shouldn't be listing it/selling it, and it shouldn't be legal for it to exist. Unfortunately though, while this seems to be hitting mainstream, this is not the first game of this sort, the most famous being "RapeLay" way back in 2006. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RapeLay

I've read up on RapeLay in the past.

That is some ****ed up stuff.

I find it hard to square this with Mickey Rourke saying a hurty word to a lesbian and being warned while people can buy and play these games with impunity. Like bots said earlier, the world is ****ed.

The difference with GTA is that you don't have to beat up Prostitutes if you don't want to.

Where as this No Mercy Game is making you play as the rapist with no choices to opt out.

So we'd only have Paw Patrol Games in your world.

With all due respect.

Still quite a disturbing option.

It's reflective of modern society. The de-stigmatization and de-moralization of so many aspects of life, the obsession over going beyond the erosion of norms and also how culture is often expected to be shaped economically (through consumer lifestyle choices).

So I guess now we're at point where enough people can find employment (and enjoyment) in that kind of material to make an actual product (not just a concept) and also that the game can be even considered to be potentially profitable. What does that say?

There is an audience out there with a taste for graphic themes obviously, but we usually see it as the character being the spectator/survivor and often in the reading realm (comics/books/e-novels)... not the gamey one...

Some consider games to be more ethical than the live action/filmed scenes since there are no potential victims, but still more stimulating than the reading/comics where most of the edgiest stuff would go with scant censorship in the past. Since reading & writing are considered the traditional venues for Freedom of Expression, even for the most degenerate...

As others have mentioned, there's games that touch these themes in tehir mechanics and they do allow a degree of freedom to explore aspects of the "being a horrible person" life. For example, you can be an actual bloodthirsty assassin in Elder Scrolls games with full cut scenes and all like it's an actual fetish. The freedom aspect in games for many is just "progressing the art", though ... and our culture repeatedly reanimates itself with the logic of "we've already gone this far.. why not further". Our culture is based around, after all, the expansion of moral logic to accommodate personal freedoms, anything and everything, yada yada. So is it really a surprise there would be a game that goes that far.

It is tbf.

It's just thankfully not a requirement to beat a GTA Game.

Disturbing and unnecessary.

i never play games from Steam, this game seems like they hit rock bottom of :umm2: disgustingness




they are deffo not of the same quality like Quantic Dream or Dontnod, Deck Nine and Telltale, and also Bethesda

Nicky91 14-04-2025 07:31 AM

not even Supermassive games goes this sexist in their content

while Until Dawn for example ain't exactly a game for the youngest among us, but they do everything right in terms of the right things for the Horror genre, as well as delivering a proper cast of hollywood actors for the voices and facial likenesses, they did the same in a follow up The Quarry


and now currently with a game similar-ish to Alien, Directive 8020




i also still hate Steam btw for making it a requirement to install Football Manager via them, rather than Offline, haven't played that one since 2010, the last one where offline installation was possible, also am not playing games on the PC at all, mainly use my PS5 now (for both PS4 and PS5 games)

Nicky91 14-04-2025 07:34 AM

from what i was able to see, someone uploaded first 20 minutes of gameplay

looked also quite amateurishly made :laugh: compared to the more slick, smooth looking games of today, especially those for PS5, which look so much like watching a blu ray film, even the animated series of today (on Netflix) look much better made than this :skull:


this more looks like it was made using powerpoint :fan:

Really is, and honestly why aren't the makers of such games being investigated?!

There are no "games from Steam". Steam is just a digital shop to purchase and download a game. They do make hardware, but not games.

You can get Bethesda games, etc, from Steam, though.

Exactly.

I had a look at the 20 minute gameplay YouTube video.

And tbf there wasn't anything too outrageous in terms of sexual content early on, but my god the Incels that were defending it by comparing it to COD are clearly not able to understand why COD doesn't have feminist groups trying to get it banned but this particular Game does.

And tbh the more I think about it I am conflicted personally.

On one hand if we support No Mercy being banned, it could be a slippery slope into seeing violent Games such as COD, GTA, Doom etc getting banned for violent content.

But on the other hand if we support No Mercy's right to potentially prosper in the Video Game industry, I am worried that even more extreme versions of this Game will be made, plus I am concerned that it might lead to Paedophiles getting a Video Game version of Cuties, but even more extreme.

This Game makes me hate the world even more tbh.

whoever created No Mercy needs to be jailed asap
