No, he's evidently not. He's depicting rape in a provocative, even shocking manner. Women are raped. It does happen, and if you find rape as depicted in Edmund vulgar then I hope that you never have to watch someone raped in reality.
@elsewhereify I could make a game where you literally shit all over Barack Obama, but that wouldn't be provocative or intelligent political commentary. Like Edmund, it would be dumb trash that exploits a controversial theme to mask its lack of interesting gameplay. Just because Edmund has rape in it doesn't mean it comments on rape in a deep, interesting way.
I have never stated that Edmund comments on rape in a 'deep, interesting way'. You merely assumed that I did. I stated that rape is provocative ('tending to provoke a response, e.g., anger or disagreement'). Please, if you intend to start an argument with me make sure that you understand my viewpoint. You completely misinterpreted my initial comment. I don't have time to argue with you if you are going to continue to do so.
@elsewhereify But you have time to defend a stupid game just because it has rape in it? Okay. Are you going to defend every exploitation movie that has rape in it, too? Why are you posting if you don't think Edward is worthwhile as a piece of art?
No, I'm defending the creator's right to depict rape. The user I replied to implied that the creator was mentally defective because he depicted rape, presumably. I happen to think Edmund has a right to exist. Whether I think Edmund is worthwhile as a piece of art is immaterial. Again, you're guilty of misinterpreting my comments. Please don't contact me again unless you have a valid argument to present.
@elsewhereify It's nice that you felt the need to defend the "creator's right to depict rape" (something that was never in contention and which has the force of law to protect it, btw, so get off your stupid censorship high horse), but Edmund remains a stupid and exploitative game. If you want to defend the depiction of rape in art, there are much worthier things to choose.
@elsewhereify No, I'm suggesting you actually love Edmund--an Objectively Bad Game--and you're being a disingenuous child because you don't want to own up to your Objectively Bad Opinion.
You're suggesting that I love Edmund "an Objectively Bad Game" with absolutely no evidence to support your viewpoint whatsoever. This conversation is over.
The whole "jumping over landmines" section is needlessly frustrating. Made me stop playing. Why make me restart every damn time I step on one of the invisible landmines hiding behind bushes?
@FernandoDANTE I dont think shooting the grass and jumping about 6 mines (all the rest can be avoided) was so much hard, and you can beat that part in about 1 minute so indeed, i fail to see all the punishing thing... I see people asking for a "Win Now" button in all fucking games
well after i posted that i looked up on the game some more and also heard what other people siad and also one of your interviews and reliased its not one of those Japanese Rape games its more of a story than a game that glorifies rape and it could be worse it could be in 3d
Ive played it, and this is a very well put together game. NOW before I get hate messages, the game was made to delve into a very touchy subject, which it does. I have only experienced 2 of the possible endings and no matter how I beat it, I don't feel good after I play it, which means it has done its job to show that rape can never be desensitized. I'm not sure why people are so angry about it considering there are plenty of games with worse things in them.
look I've played GTA. know once gta 4 came out it just felt wierd killing people. I almost felt weird doing it, but the game makes it way mor consecencial if you do it and I mostly killed comps or went online a shot ma friends. this game isn't bad. I never played,that is why I'm saying that. but the fact that it exists is just gross to me. I don't havea problem with it, but I never want to see the day when gta 7 gives you the ability to rape sombody in a videogame. I think thats too far
You're talking about two different games. It's like saying if there's a film about pedophilia then it means it'll start a trend in films about pedophilia, which probably wouldn't happen. Also it's not about giving you the option to rape, it's about not giving you the option NOT to rape, meaning you are forced to do something you don't want to do.
i'm not saying this is a good game but it's great that people are experimenting with the medium.
Guys I hate rapists and murderers but I say people need to calm down. I just finished playing the game. Remember a game called Custer's Revenge? That's right, this isn't the first game to have rape in it. There's been games like this for a while.
I mean, I can understand why people would get upset but like another user said, there is tons of murder in videogames, which is just as bad. And besides, the creator of this was probably just joking around in a way. Like that one "I'm OK" game.
you gotta love how high horse these comments are. too bad the rest of the game isn't like this and this video doesn't show you that you could simply walk back to the cab and hit up to enter it after you talk to Emily completely stump me the first time playing this unless you read the entire thread for that tidbit.
Saw this on Destructoid.. which subsequently linked me to the TIGSource forums which, despite having kept up with Indie blogs for years, I hadn't gotten round to reading.
Brilliant work. I love the angle you've taken on this making an adult-themed game. There's a real sense of graphic noir and it's just a brilliantly unique atmosphere. =]
I too came from d toid. Burch really got me interested in this game. I thought the rape scene would be graphic. If it were not for the sounds, and someone telling me, I would not have gotten rape. Perhaps I am just stupid.
I'm actually going to post a youtube comment. I feel dirty.
Anyway, to all you sanctimonious hypocrites: how is this any worse than a game that involves shooting people? Why is there such a taboo on rape and not on murder (at war or otherwise)?
Brilliant idea. Exposes the hypocrisy in people's game taboos.
maybe its just me, but to me rape is one of if not the worst thing a human being can do to another human being. at least with murder the person you kill doesn't have to deal with the fact that they have been violated in such a way that will shake them to their core for the rest of their life, the torture that the survivor will have to go through for the rest of their life looking over there shoulder and what not.
good news every one this game dialog can be change which means this rape scene can be a cutscene from a S&M porno, or sin city, or even have them 'sing' rent.
just go to the script folder and click on any file that has dialog(for beginners to see how the code works) I turn my game form rapist to a sean connery spitting out one liners.
