Explain what man hunting is please before moving on?

[Jej]

Because any reasonable adult would prohibit their child to play the game.

manhunt is my favorite gamemode in ac revelations multiplayer

[Klogg]

Why would it?
It's a game, grow up.

[SMIFFY]

The bans are the only reason anyone remembers this mediocre game.

[AmsterdamHeavy]

..because it is a game? No one actually died...

[HEXEN]

Why should it? It's a great game.
Did the game come through your disc drive strangling you to death with the cords of the peripherals?

No? No.

Who's the what now?

No idea, but I wanted to play the game when it was briefly released here in Australia before the OFLC basically took it away from us lol.

after reading up about it, seems the first game was way too violent and tainted due to a murder in the UK, the second game was wrapped up in a legal quagmire from that murder a few years earlier. Sufficed to say it was banned in NZ because of the nature of the game and how violent it was, Germany did a similar thing for the same reason.

I would like to try that game but what i have been reading it doesnt work on windows 8 or 10.

Could this be a Quagmire? Don't give up, Quagmire, Praise the Quagmire! Be wary of Quagmire! It's a Quagmire! Visions of Quagmire!

It's fine to murder in videogames as long your protagonist is a psychopath with no feelings.

It's fine to do anything in videogames. Period.

Sorry if I was not clear about me not having that opinion.
I was talking about how things interpreted the wrong way could have made certain people want it banned, like when a 17 year old violently murdered someone, and supposedly had played Manhunt excessively. However, this was not true, as there was an entirely different motive, and the murdered guy had Manhunt
