I played the notoriously ratings-board-ravaged Manhunt 2 and was quite glad for the censorship actually

Rockstar Games was highly productive in the past, releasing over two titles each year, including notable games like Manhunt 2, Vice City Stories, Bully, GTA 4, and Midnight Club: Los Angeles. Over eight years, they produced four interpretations of Los Angeles, including GTA 5, San Andreas, and LA Noire. Manhunt 2 became a cultural artifact, generating controversy that influenced its marketing and public perception, particularly after being linked to a teenage murder incident. This led to significant censorship of the game before its release, resulting in a less graphic version. The PC version remains the only platform with the original takedown animations, while the PSP version offers a more sanitized experience. The audio elements of the game contribute significantly to its horror experience. The absence of a scoring system in Manhunt 2, which was present in the original, diminished player engagement. The game's narrative was perceived as predictable, and the character Danny Lamb appeared passive. Manhunt 2 is noted as one of the last pure stealth experiences from a major studio, marking a shift in the genre towards action hybrids.

Let me use cheats. (In Minecraft)

A debate among friends about cheats in Minecraft focused on the rules of a newly created realm, with the creator opposing any form of cheating. The discussion centered on enhancing the gaming experience rather than controversial cheats. The "keep inventory" option, which allows players to retain items upon death, was a major point of contention, as it alleviates the fear of losing resources. Players seeking a more relaxed experience aim to build and explore without the anxiety of dangers, especially with new threats like the warden. The suggestion of allowing teleportation was raised as a compromise that would not diminish the achievements of hardcore players while providing a strategic navigation option. The debate highlights the diversity of gaming styles and the desire for a balanced approach to cheats that enhances enjoyment without negatively impacting others.
