Hatred (Angry dude kills people. Wait, Peter Steele? IS THAT YOU??)


PR: Some angry dude, whose anger is completely unexplained, goes out and kills a lot of random people just because he's angry at something.

 Fortunately for his, let's say, less than thorough planning, he has the ability to heal his wounds by executing people who are so stupid that they literally run towards the armed maniac instead of hiding or going away.

 I'm not commenting on the underdeveloped story, what I think made Hatred a subpar game is that the actual shooting and action is completely unrealistic. The dude ends the episode with more lead than flesh and resurrects in fashions that'd put Michael Myers to shame, people run around like headless chickens, and the police AI is set to run straight to the protagonist instead of taking cover, surrounding, flanking, or doing anything remotely intelligent.

 I believe that unless they add some sort of supernatural explanation like "lich/demon collecting souls" or something like that, the "kill to heal" mechanic subtracts rather than add.
