Damage - The Sadistic Butchering of Humanity

You might remember this delightful game:

That came out for Amiga in 1997.

Well, the developers are actually making a new version of it. Yeah. A new version of Damage, in this day and age. There will be butthurt.

Reminds me of something: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkDWbjJf ... re=related

 

perhaps they're timing it to the next postal game. Or has that been shelved already?

 

Nah, RWS is just one slow-ass developer. Postal 3 (just like Postal 2) will suck anyway since they ditched the proper mass murderer atmosphere from Postal 1.

 

Humanity: Check
Butchering: Check
Sadism: Uncheck

 

Ahhhh... novelty games.

 

What is it with Finns and rampages?

 

The only way to rebel against the Nordic woman is to shoot make-believe tiny people. Probably Finns' favourite contraception means, too.

 

BROS I PLAYED THE SHIT OUT OF THIS GAME THE LAST YEAR OR SO FINALLY GOT TO THE END IT WAS FUN

 

weird, why doesn't this have a wiki entry? too XTREME?

 

Original looks awesome, if a little rough around the edges, too bad the new one will be shit like the Splatterhouse remake

 

Frankly I'm not sure where's the sadistic part in this edition. I suppose the old version could be one, but where's, oh, dunno, gore? Ultra-violence?

Soldier of Fortune has sadism in a way higher level, and it doesn't call itself Sadistic Butchering of Africans And Others at any point.

And yeah, half a video is a death metal (or black or smthng) track. Glorious.

 

Soldier of Fortune had sadism ? What do you mean, I played through a couple of times (except for the derpy japan level) and never really encountered anything that I would call sadism.

 

More sadistic than this, at any rate. This is almost sterile, in SoF you can at least tear off limbs, make (graphically reflected) groinshots and otherwise be an arse with the character models. Unless you're lucky enough to be in Germany I guess, then it's likely locked, there was a violence lock in the game iirc.

Of course, it isn't true sadism either, but frankly am not sure true sadism is actually necessary in [mainstreamish] gaming.

 

I guess the way you butcher humanity in the game is sadistic. The original game ends with you nuking the entire planet. Half of the high score is reserved for the number of people you managed to kill with nukes.

And what the hell is "true sadism" anyway? As long as you enjoy the suffering inflicted upon others, you're a sadist.

The original was also made by a bunch of black metal listening, anti-establishment wankers. Funny to see that ten years hasn't managed to mature them at all.

 

Wish someone would finally remake Moonstone. Hell, it's about time.

 

Well, with "true sadism" I'd be meaning, at least, much slower deaths, prolonged agony and that sort of "lovely" things, essentially tortureporn. We won't see that in mainstream games, and I'd say that it's actually fortunate that way.

And I suppose that in case of that sort of mass-scale murder, it could be dubbed as "sadistic", but that wouldn't be the term that I'd pick, even though sadism IS "excessive cruelty". I guess it is a form of sadistic violence, just that I personally associate it more with inflicting lasting pain rather than the insta-death that the game portrays.

 

Yeah, this game seems more about playing as a sociopath. An idiot that thinks the world must "pay" because he's socially inept or whatever. Think Columbine. Not exactly sadistic (though some spree killers certainly could be) since, as Angthoron mentions, is tied more from the actual pleasure that comes from torturing people.

Anyway, it's probably just semantics.

What was the name of that torture game for the arcade? I think there were several levels in which there were victims you could shoot, but also evil bats and crap flying at you. Pretty old.
