why games are so "safe" now?

There are many disgusting and disturbing games now. Psychopath media is more numerous now than ever (which is also why we have more psychos doing psycho shit).
Want to watch in slowmo as you kill people in the most horrific and gross way possible? There are sniper games complete with xray
Want to use ideology as an excuse to massacre and mutilate people in many unique disgusting ways? There's Wolfenstein for you
Want to just straight up watch human misery and suffering with no excuse and disgusting visuals? There is Outlast trials
Even outside of videogames, stuff like Terrifier and Final Destination make sure to satisfy your every misanthropic demonic desire, they are even advertised by the Mainstream Media!

games like prey and quake 4 has unique oppressive unsanitized biopunk atmosphere

it's more artful and imaginative than basic gore/mutilation fest

You don't get artful and imaginative anymore, modern "creatives" are incapable of it.
>>
>>730870406
you clearly don't get it. those games are cartoony and not what OP is referring to games like Prey (2006) and Dead Space 1 & 2 with dead babies and crawlers (DS1 was better btw). A lot of old games featured stuff that couldn't sell now without being banned everywhere.

Ditch all the useless bloat and they'll go down. Over half the people employed at Ubisoft are just office admins.

Everything bad about video games and the video game industry can be attributed to the consumers who go along with just about anything the corporations push onto them as long as mixed in with the usual slop.

Add a female nipple and it would get taken off in a microsecond

>>730870064
Because generally speaking a lot of work will be discarded due to spontaneous decisions from retards and that can lead to extreme imagery becoming a complete outlier if enough supporting content is cut, and unlike pornography that people will happily make in their own time you are unlikely to see people make gore spontaneously (or at least not to the same extent).

The fuck are you talking about

Outlast Trials was a free PSN game of the month that millions upon millions of new people downloaded and played

If you don't know why Outlast Trials demolishes your point on games being "too safe" nowadays, you literally don't play enough games to post here.

You mean in the horror/gore sense? I think older graphics left some room for imagination, it was more about the concept than the actual thing you saw. Now with realism you get people freaking out like with >>730871551

>>730871840
No actual video game has ever done this anyway

You yearn for something that has never existed

>>730871840
If they really want to stand out they'd show a lolis butt while she showers or something. A relatively mundane and serene thing, yet somehow almost never shown.

You ever consider that maybe the soccer moms were correct and what you do in your bedroom not only concerns other people but is repulsive?
>>
>>730870064
They are predatorily marketed to children. Its kind of always been the case, but not nearly as overtly as it is now with the whole 'trying to create the modern audience' thing by grooming kids basically. Personally I'd be okay with video games just being banned altogether, I'm happy with what I've got and desire nothing new from this gay retard industry.

It's literally the only body horror themed game I can think of. The actual gameplay is pretty basic and was even when it was released, but there's nothing else with scene after scene of fucked up, revolting imagery.

There's a difference between edgy and Larian's thinly veiled fetishes on display. The spotlight being on Baatezu because they're cringy s/m freaks in BG3 told me everything I need to know. Ironically Larian fits the bill for the same sort of satanic literal LARPers going too far with blood play and murdering someone in the woods which is what started the satanic panic in the first place.

Not really. More like a few seething retards came in screeching "puritan" and "satanic panic" like it was apropos of anything, when it wasn't. I don't expect you to give up the gimmick, but let it not go unmentioned that you're brazenly lying your ass off by trying to pull that little stunt in every thread where fetishism in games gets brought up.

Whatever fag, trailer just looked like a private vrchat room to me. Where's the edge supposed to be exactly? I was more perturbed by the fact it'll play like a cellphone autobattler you'll need DLSS to run in 4k again.

You don't understand sir, you must accept serial killer content in your media or else you are Christian (this would get you downdooted on Reddit as we trust the science). It really reaffirms my neokitty, you don't want more transfolx to do anything irrational right?

>>730874420
I wouldn't really call the sex adult even. It is always weird and gross but if you watch the scenes from Baldurs Gate for instance you'll notice they are faggy as shit and just have characters laying beside each other naked or some shit. You don't really even see sensitive areas.

Not on here. I remember pearl clutchers arguing it was bad just because it was a white guy being sacrificed.
Doesn't matter if the degenerates burning him were in the wrong and show as hedonist scum, the fact it happened meant it was bad.

>>730870064
They're made by gay, brown, communists. Which is why AI is good, it doesn't require a studio budget to make a game.
>>
>>730873776
Because its not just naked dude. Its a human being used as a battery, or alternatively used as food for the aliens or turned into a nugget and used as canon fodder slaves

Because when devs actually make extreme gore and disturbing shit like the Divinity Trailer or recent MK fatalities, nu-right losers call them satanic or something equally gay

t. the bald retard from Larian. I wouldn't even make a trailer I don't want people to know whats in the game until it leaks out from clickbait articles about people who had to go to therapy after playing it.
>>
>>730870064
Modern games have bigger budgets so they have to be safe corporate slop.
Indies have similar budgets to the game in your pic and that's why they have a lot more flexibility when it comes to that kind of stuff.

>satanic panic

In the aftermath, parents organized private excavations of the razed preschool site in June 1990, led by figures such as Jackie McGauley, who enlisted archaeologist Gary Stickel and former FBI agent Ted Gunderson to document findings.[68] They claimed discovery of an underground tunnel network—measuring up to 45 feet in length—allegedly used for child molestation and Satanic rituals between 1979 and 1983, along with over 2,000 artifacts including animal bones, plastic bags dated to 1982, and debris purportedly inconsistent with the site's prior use as a horse stable.[68] These parents withheld evidence from authorities, citing distrust in the district attorney's office, and planned further monitoring during subsequent construction.[68] Critics, including defense attorneys, dismissed the tunnels as remnants of earlier stable foundations, and no independent verification substantiated the claims of ritual use.[68]
