Best Reallife Killer suggestion
i think it would be increasing the horror atmosphere of DbD a lot. my suggestion is to put Valery Makarenkov into the game. even meeting him inside DbD i would ######### my whole pants. we already know that the clown should show the real life killer John Wayne Gacy. so what do you think?
Comments
His offensive posts were deleted, either by himself or by the mods. What you see in this thread is not a true indication of his actions.
Eww, yeah I'm definitely 100% with the mods decision on banning him.
Here's my reasoning:
The real life killer has done something completely unacceptable! It doesn't matter if that person done something as big as doing a school shooting or as little as accidentally having a DUI caused car crash. The point is that their actions are unacceptable and why put then in a game if they did something that was unacceptable? It's like saying "Hey I did something really cold and yet I get rewarded by being on a video game!" It's gives DbD's players a bad example and can encourage younger players to be like that killer to be on a video game. Additionally if they are on a video game then they will have their name in history, I know we have history so that we don't repeat it but some things aren't worth putting in down in history, ya know? We already have enough examples in our history timeline to follow by!
Sorry but I don't like talking about this subject, it makes me upset just seeing someone suggest such a thing.
Probably the mod that murked the OP.
Ooooooooooooo
The issue there, I think, is that it is illegal for a serial killer to profit off their crime, thus it would be impossible to legally use gacey or any other real killer. Secondly, humans are thirsty, and doing so may result in a new serial killer trying to get a character made after himself by referencing dbd in his murders, which would not be good press, and would result in a big media thing and demands for it to be pulled from steam.
Inspiration tho, can be good.
People seem to forget that The Doctor is based on a real life issue going on in China. That's why the Chinese DBD playerbase voted for him to be made. His Electroshock Therapy in particular directly relates to the issue in China. (I'm not going to go in depth into what Doc is based on you can Google yourself.)
But yeah in essence these people were REAL murderers who REALLY killed REAL people, some of whom may still have relatives alive today. It's fine if you reference Hollywood or even have some inspiration based on real life (again: Doc) but flat out say "lol here's a guy who killed thousands of people and you can play him!" is a great way to stir up unneeded controversy.
We can also add in the fact that they were all normal people, and giving them some bullshit magical powers for the sake of video game would be incredibly token. Yeah the killers we know were also regular people before they were transported into the Entity's realm but it's far different with them.
All that being said I'd love to see a Jack the Ripper-esque Victorian killer, though honestly I feel that it would be easier to fit a vampire type killer into that slot than Jack the Ripper.
And no, divorced but not single, tho the girl im seeing is married so Im gonna have to let her go soon
