Did they rate this with a clear mind? GTA V let's me do all of this, as well as brutally torturing someone. How does that get away with an M rating? The torture scene gets some context, but you are not justified in doing it. Just like the MC in Hatred isn't justified. Both games let me mow down innocent people for no reason other than "why not". Why does one get a free-pass when the other doesn't?
Ugh, I'm already getting sick of saying this, but there's a world of difference between a game where you
can do all those things and a game
where the only objective is doing those things.
OT: Ehh, whatever. It'll be interesting when the reviews come out to see if the fuss was even worth it.
Okay it's about context and objectives then, well the objective of Plague Inc: Evolved is for you to kill all life on earth.
Here's the game's description:
"Plague Inc: Evolved is a unique mix of high strategy and terrifyingly realistic simulation. Your pathogen has just infected 'Patient Zero' - now you must bring about the end of human history by evolving a deadly, global Plague whilst adapting against everything humanity can do to defend itself."
You are literally playing what could be described as a terrorist releasing a man made disease to try and kill all humans.
