Has anyone here played the game Agony? It's set in hell. It got pretty awful reviews. The company that made it is Polish. There are random Bible verses about hell shown in the loading screens, some from the deuterocanon. There is nudity in the game, but the context is so horrific that I don't really see it as pornographic. There's a character called the Red Goddess which is presumably supposed to represent the Scarlet Woman from Revelation. I find it interesting because it shows hell in a serious and horrific way. It may be edgy, but then how could hell be otherwise? A quote from a Vice article:

>Agony's vision of hell is also weirdly boring in the way it follows Judeo-Christian mythology so strictly it almost feels orthodox. Naked women with tails and wings, fire and blood, and impaled bodies haven't been this edgy since Dante Alighieri published Inferno in 1308.

I'm not encouraging anyone to play it, but I'm just wondering if any Christians here have played it already and what their thoughts on it were.

Wasn't there a vidya thread, or did that die when we got those halfchan toast spammers?

Anyway, vidya games are boring and dont give me the same satisfaction as praying to God. If you can dedicate 5 hours a day to play vidya, you can dedicate an hour for prayer.

>you will never play a video game set during the 1500s in a fictional Apocalypse that turns the Dutch Low Countries in a Hieronymus Bosch/Pieter Bruegel hellscape

These guys dropped the ball.

I've never played it before, but looking at gameplay of it, I don't see why the reviews are so negative. It looks stunning visually, and the complaints about gameplay…

<not a hack and slash

<stealth is hard

<lack of saves

<your character gets stuck between objects sometimes

…didn't stop reviewers from giving similar games (such as Alien Isolation) favorable reviews. We have a generation of young men who have mostly been indoctrinated into hating their Christian upbringing (or not having one), so I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise that a game with Hell and Bible quotes isn't well-received. It would've been popular only a decade ago along with games like Diablo II and the first Call of Juarez.

Catholics are Nicene Trinitarian, so the faithful ones go to heaven.

I think that most media that features anything to do with Christianity will get a bad wrap from reviewers just because it didn't go out of its way to shit on Christianity. Same thing happened with Dante's Inferno (the videogame), it was better than God of War (had an actually good story and even a moral to the story, better level design, better everything) but because it didn't altogether trash Christianity and the concept of God it was hated and despised. It even tried to paint the crusades in a bad light but that wasn't enough but at the end of the story God was still good.

Does anybody here have any opinions on games as an activity for Christians? Games that either use religious imagery, or games that have in-universe fictional religions, or games that have you fight evil, games that try to separate fantasy magic from witchcraft, or historical strategy games that involve religion in some way. Any opinions as to if any of these kinds of games are acceptable or bad activities?

Christanon 01/19/19 (Sat) 20:20:27 d42dab No.758478

I like Elder Scrolls games, but I don't take it seriously. It's too silly to take seriously anyways (even by the writers' own standards (they consider it open to interpretation and individual outlook themselves). As long as you do that, I don't see the harm in it. No different than viewing other "world building". Just because Tolkien was a Christian doesn't make his nonsense fantasy world more valid. They're both nonsense, but a fun way to waste a couple of hours.

Quotation out of context.

The document is just trying to find a common ground between other religions but conveniently you left out the part we're it says that despite that, if they reject the Church they are going to hell.

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

What part of "keep [yourself] unspotted from the world" don't you understand? Christians shouldn't be playing video games anymore than they should be watching movies.

I never found anything pro-Christian in them. They're fun, but I think it's bad for the faith because it demands people to seek entertainment value in it. If they can't find anything entertaining, then they immediately drop it. Christianity is about enduring hardship to remain on God's path

From what I noticed, the symbolism in games like FF7 just draws in Christians to make them lose their faith in God. Even if it's about killing demons, it's not necessarily a good thing. Doom has a community of "ironic satanist" trannies as opposed to militant Christians.
