Yes, tons of games have violent, often unnecessary killings in them. But there is an objective the player is pursuing. In GTA, you have the option of going on a murderous rampage, but it's never the objective of the game to kill random civilians. The reason the "No Russian" COD level provoked such controversy is because it seemed to do just that - but even then, you can complete that whole level without actually killing a civilian. In fact, in some countries, they modified the game so that you failed the mission if you did. Games often put you on the "bad guy" side and force you to kill "good guys", but that at least makes sense from a rational perspective - the player has an objective they're pursuing, you're getting shot at by cops, or what have you, and you've got to defend yourself. But this game - your objective is nothing other than causing the most suffering and evil you can before you yourself are destroyed. It's one thing to rage around Chicago in a ridiculous spider tank, blowing up cars and killing cops, as you can do in Watch Dogs - but the starting premise for that game mode is completely ludicrous to start with. A spider tank? And no civilians are killed.
This game is too close to a reality where school shootings in the U.S. happen every other month. I don't think I'm being irrational or unfair or biased when I say a game is bad/evil when it involves, nay, requires you to place a gun in a woman's mouth, who is lying on the ground, pleading for her life, and blow her brains out for no other reason than the character's pure hatred of... everything.
I sincerely hope this never gets released.
