serial killer game premise?...

If i got to customize my character, choose the murder weapon, the type of people i kill and the way i kill them (and some other parts of a charactersMO...)

I think i might have fun if the gameplay elements were good.

i'm thinking something like The Sims mixed with Manhunt and GTA. where you control your character during normal hours at a job, and then go out on part time and kill some people... you can juggle a family, a job, evade cops... bury blonde co eds in your basement....

hey man, thats the exact same thing i was thinking. i would like a game like that too.

like, killing people in any area or city you want, heck, i even thought that the game should include that there is a chance that the police dont even discover the body, like if you kill a homeless guy, no one would really know he was missing. and you can even leave your own personalised calling card so to speak. just marking my territory. haha

but i never thought of the good and bad choice you just said. thats interesting. good point, that would be nice to have. two sides of the game. but i really just wanna play the bad part, i just love being evil. haha

pretty much exactly what i was thinking. this whole idea for a game like this has been in my head for a while now but just recently i really been thinking about it a lot more (prolly since the Manhunt AO news). i'm a literarture major/journalism minor in school and i been working on a book based on all the info for this game pretty much. college aged killer, works part time, likes to stalk local night clubs, big metropolis area, and is coming into his own as a serial killer. lol thats a phrase i never thought i'd use. there's a lot more to the book than just that, but you get the gist. and yea, some bodies could be discovered by the cops and some might not, just depends how good you hide the body or how hard you try to. i dunno, i think it would be a really fun game in a really sadistic way. and it's got that infinite re-playable factor because you could do something 100% different everytime through the game, as a cop or the killer. prolly just a thought for now as far as there being a game is concerned.

This thread actually HAS been made before, just so long ago that it wouldn't be in the archives anymore. Actually, it's been made multiple times, which seriously concerns me. The idea, to me seems...somewhat...morally bankrupt? The same feeling I get from Grand Theft Auto, honestly. But the fact that more and more people are in favor of it kind of creeps me out.

I've started to get creeped out from a lot of gamers over the years, with games being acclaimed because of how gory they are, how evil they allow you to be, etc. I've heard people say that it's just a game, and I agree with that mentality. But...when you actual start LOOKING for brutality in a game...that strikes me as decidedly unhealthy. I wonder if games are doing more than just desensitizing us to violence...

If it was a game like Dexter, then I could see it working.
