notasheep Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Check this out: http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-godg...dlines-business I almost want to play this game, (but not pay for it) because if you don't pray enough for your character, he apparently gets converted to the dark side. Or it looks like you can even start on the anti-christ side. Probably not what Jenkins and LaHaye had in mind, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dra_Mucd_Uha Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. Typical Christian. To be honest, this game (and other's similiar to it) worries me. Think about the influence it may have. This may make some of it's younger players begin to fear the doctorine of hell, or the end times prophecies. They may become afraid of being "left behind," and seek "safety" in Christianity. Maybe it will just die out quickly. Maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially because the game probably sucks, so nobody will buy it. I just found it pretty funny that they couldn't find a way to make the game even remotely interesting, without earning the wrath of the anti-violence-in-video-games crowd. And that I could play with a completely unintended agenda- losing my faith as fast as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnosis of Disbelief Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 ....And that I could play with a completely unintended agenda- losing my faith as fast as possible. You mean gawd didn't prevent this design flaw? What kinda gawd is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padreko Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I would SOOOOO rock this game hardcore (on the antichrist side in multiplayer only - beef with the holy trinity and all :-D).... Its just that I'm playing morrowind oblivion and I've got 4 other games coming down the tube that I'll play over the summer. The fact that its a real time strategy war game takes all the christian values out of for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fweethawt Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 It's probably rigged so that the bad guys can't win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dra_Mucd_Uha Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Its just that I'm playing morrowind oblivion Right on! I love the Elder Scrolls games. Too bad my computer doesn't have the power (and I don't have the money) for Oblivion.... I'm sure they hope for conversions, but I can't see it being to successful in that way. Especially because the game probably sucks, so nobody will buy it. I just found it pretty funny that they couldn't find a way to make the game even remotely interesting, without earning the wrath of the anti-violence-in-video-games crowd. And that I could play with a completely unintended agenda- losing my faith as fast as possible. Yeah. I'm probably just over-thinking it. I personally am not at all interested in it. I'm following in Padreko's footsteps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjacksonRIAB Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Christian video games have never been very popular, so I doubt it will make much in sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a line from a Dixie Chicks song called "Sin Wagon" Which was taken from a song by Frank Loesser written way back in the late '30s, early '40s.

nirrti Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 The cheat codes for it would be very interesting. You press down-shift-R1-circle for super-smiting action. Or triangle-L2-circle-down gets you a bazooka that shoots bibles. You're automatically raptured if you hit enough people with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notasheep Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 The cheat codes for it would be very interesting. Cheat codes? You can't cheat in a christian game! You'll go straight to hell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padreko Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Cheat codes? You can't cheat in a christian game! You'll go straight to hell! Anyone want to go to hell with me? We can start our base of operation there and create an army of souless minions to take on heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristiaNazi Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Will someone publish the "cheat codes" so we can sin and still go to heaven - or maybe unlock the THIRD coming of Christ so we get another chance? A downloadable patch to access a hidden porn sequence would also be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexandrian Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 These guys are going to be target #1 for every cracker out there. Myg0t (en.wikipedia.org/myg0t) is going to have a field day with this. And considering this really underhanded means of trying to convert people, I kinda think these people actually deserve it. Hopefully they'll have team play in this, Team Killing would be great for this game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
