Scariest thead yet

Yes, these people are completely serious:

Final Fantasy X is a game that immerses you in a strange and unique world: unfortunately, it blasts you with a load of pagan beliefs, rituals, distorted representations of life and death, etc. If it were not for the incredibly prominent occult/supernatural content in this game, it would have received an acceptable rating.

Oh and be sure to read the review of "The Sims," and how it "underminds our faith in Jesus."

I agree that some games might do something to your religion, but you just have to see what is real and what is not!

It's just like Lord of the Rings. After seeing it, you don't think "come on let's fight a Balrog deamon!" or "I wanna have a magical ring too!"
You just KNOW it's fake. Fake fake fake. Fantasy.

It's different with movies like... Hannibal and stuff. That takes place in this world and you can actually do that stuff.

Heh, imagine what they gave GTA 3/VC

.

Yeah that's an example of a really dangerous game. No fantasy at all.

I saw the GTAL:VC review from that site before. Everything is low.

"Metroid Prime gets a 73% (C) [See Rating Definitions] for violence and some light occult undertones."

"Spiderman: The Movie gets a 83% (B) [See Rating Definitions] for frenetic violence."

"Grand Theft Auto Vice City receives an 18% (F-) [See Rating Definitions] for an extreme amount of violence with blood, a multitude of profanities, and many sexual comments, actions and nudity. "

Don't forget to read his idiotic outlook on Yu-Gi-Oh

I wonder what they would say about Animal Crossing?

But I like reading these kind of things! They are funny, but when you think about it enough, its kind of true but yet probably almost never taken into account when purchasing a game.

These Christian extremists give Christians everywhere a bad name. I am a Christian, but I do not feel that fantasy games or sci-fi movies are bad. They have some bearing with many games, especially ones like GTA:VC, but they take censorship to a whole new level. If you don't have enough bearing on reality to determine the difference between real life and fantasy, then you have issues.

They seem to rate games on the amout of violence instead of actual gameplay...Luigis mansion got a 88, while Metroid Prime only got 73 even though they basically say its a better game to play...

Angrist · 01-15-2003, 05:42 AM

Applause for Jason for his quick understanding!

just kidding man just kidding!

I agree with Blackmane. You have to see the difference between fastasy and reality. If you can't draw that line, you shouldn't play certain games.

Yup, gotta agree with Jonbo here.

GameKinG · 01-15-2003, 10:19 AM

Yeah, If I play Black & White, Im not going to go out thinking Im God or whatever...Even though I dont like Black & White. Peter always overhypes stuff...

For all the game reviews on that website, you guys missed the best part. Meet Andy Arnold, the site's Christian "hard rock" music reviewer.
