"Christ: The Reckoning."

MAKE THIS! "Body of Christ Muther Fukker" - as Jesus power slams a landshark

I really don't see the big deal with Dante's Inferno. I mean, I'm not going to buy it, but it looks like mindless fun. Nothing wrong with that. It is what it is.

I take you really haven't read much of the Old Testament, Valter. God was very fond of the praise me, or suffer eternal torment, even before your deatth.

In many ways, the New testament attempted to hippie-fy the whole thing. Kind of ignored since the whole crusades, to be honest.
Even the New Testament is pretty brutal. The slaying of the herd of pigs, the beating of slaves, stealing, attacking moneychangers, etc. Granted, it's LESS brutal. If the Old Testament is murder, the New Testament is assault and battery.

Boycotting things is not "currently" trendy, and Greek Mythology was always inherently badass (and ultraviolent).

Valter, Darwin's work was a major inspiration to Adolf Hitler.

The OP sounds a lot like EA's "Fake Christian Protest" marketing ploy for dante's inferno, with some small changes.

Balls, guys look the fact that I put "most important religious text" in there was an afterthought. The story is about Heaven and Hell so I thought that adjective would be appropriate, but that's not what this is about for me. Regardless of religion entirely, this is the game equivalent of pissing on Picasso and selling it for $50 with action-y one-liners printed on it.

"ABANDON ALL CLOTHES, BITCHES WHO ENTER HERE!"

"THERE IS NO GREATER SORROW,
THAN TO BE CHOPPED IN HALF WITH MY KICK-ASS AX!"

"IN THE MIDDLE OF THE JOURNEY OF MY LIFE, I SLICED SATAN IN HALF, HELL YEAH!"

so instead of ignoring that it exists


you tried recruiting complete strangers to join you in preaching your inability to ignore something that would simply disappear if it was ignored

Indeed, you are only increasing Dante's Inferno publicity by calling for boycott.

You know, now that I think about it - you're right.

Fuck it, whatever way you feel about the game, or even the book, do what you want. It just depresses me that such a sensitive text is being converted into trite, shallow bull. Why the hell does every game have to be "MURDER FEST 5000 FEAT. MUSCULAR JAY BALD MAN AND HIS SEXY BITHCES"?

I would be more sympathetic if you weren't trying to make this game a metaphor for the entire mainstream gaming industry. I would prefer we were still dealing with opinions, rather than blatant inconsistencies.

I would like to take this opportunity to talk to you lovely people about drawing penises.

Yes, there's nothing so staggeringly fun as drawing a penis. Whether it's only a small scribbling or a great bulging, veiny masterpiece, everyone should agree that the art of penis drawing is simply marvelous.

I won't be buying Dante's Inferno. But if these were the tag lines, it'd be preordered and paid off already.

Because it's one thing to make something that's shabby and disappointing. It's another to make something so ridiculous, it becomes awesome again.

This is (sort of) the premise of Devil May Cry as well. And the Devil may Cry series is ridiculously retarded and fun.
