There is no shortage of offensive video games. Some developers launch them by mistake while others know exactly what they are doing. Regardless of the reason why a very offensive game appeared, it is a certainty that some degree of success will appear.
It is such a shame to see that some of the incredibly
offensive video games reached a cult following level.
I do not intend to talk about games that were seen as offensive
by communities because of the wrong reasons. For instance, Mortal Kombat
was actually a revolutionary game. The fatalities that were so criticized by boomers
were so exaggerated that it was obvious even for really young people that they
were fake. Obviously, you do not want your 6-year-old to play the game but this
is where the parent steps in. I will also not mention games like Doom
or Grand Theft Auto since they are definitely not that
offensive for a mature gamer.
What I will talk about are those games that should have never been launched in the first place. Games that are very offensive.
Postal
Postal did all that it could to make people
disgusted. This game has no gameplay-worthy mention and basically, offensiveness
was traded for quality gameplay. Postal 2 is considered to be the
worst of the series when it comes to offensive content.
The fact that you can take a leak on someone is not even the
worst thing. I have to say that the big problem with Postal is that it had
countless jokes that were racist and worse. This was a game launched in 2003.
At that point in time, such jokes were acceptable but thankfully, we grew as
humans and we can understand how damaging such jokes are. Taking out your penis
and peeing on people should not be present in a game.
Ethnic Cleansing
FML there are so many white supremacist games and mods out
there. Ethnic Cleansing is one of the early ones. It is actually
very popular among people with a low intelligence or low education, mostly
white entitled men, of course.
So, what do you do in this game? You play a Klansman or a neo-Nazi
and you murder ethnic minorities. Every single stereotype you can imagine is
most likely included. The game is deliberately offensive. At the same time, it
is disgusting and boring AF.
Super Columbine Massacre RPG
You take a tragedy and you create a game so that others can
make fun of what happened? In this game, you play as teenagers that went on to
murder people in a school.
12 students and one teacher died in the 1999 Columbine High
School massacre.
Dishonorable mention: V-Tech Rampage,
another stupid game that was done after a similar event. Worse even since the
moronic creator did another one after following another massacre. Someone turn
off his computer FOREVER.
Custer’s Revenge
If you think taking advantage of high school shootings is
bad, how about taking advantage of Native American women that were raped by soldiers?
Custer’s Revenge is a game for Atari
2600 and it is pornographic actually. You play as George Armstrong Custer, an
actual historical figure, and your task is to rate a woman, a Native American
woman who is tied to a cactus.
Needless to say, this game did offend practically everyone.
It would be impossible to launch one now since nobody would sell it and FOR
GOOD REASON.
JFK Reloaded
Border Patrol
Dishonorable Mention: New York Defender,
a game in which you protect the World Trade Center from airplanes that try to
hit it……..
Rapelay
There you go, these offensive games should have never been
created. Unfortunately, such games keep getting launched over and over again.
Thankfully, Steam and other marketplaces have strict rules to ban them.
