I suspect the ones who will be really, truly offended by this are the ones uncomfortable looking themselves in the mirror. Why, Christians in America never commit horrible acts, it's just "other people" (read: non-Christians and non-whites) who do it.

That's not to give the game a free pass. There is a concern that Ubisoft is engaging in a kind of "shock tourism" where it's appearing to be edgy, but is really just trying to escape the kill-people-in-exotic-places setting of other Far Cry titles. It's more likely to be a palette swap of sorts than a profound commentary on the hypocritical nature of religious fervor in the US.

Not that I'm saying you shouldn't buy the game... it just isn't likely to give you pause for reflection while you're busy raiding bases.

Nazis, Arabs, Russians, and aliens (the space kind) are played out as the enemies in the FPS genre. 'Bout time that fundamentalist christians/domestic terrorist/sovereign citizen wackos got their turn.

Where's the southern Baptist outrage over this? Maybe Jerry Falwell will have to release his own game for right wingers where they can hunt down liberals on city streets. Maybe it can feature side missions of them saving small alligators from beer drinkers.:p

With TBN live streaming the action for their followers. That kind of reminds me of the movie Death Race.:p

Ahaha. I had not seen the full picture. It's a play on the last supper.

Take a look at the Steam forums for the game. The religious nutters are really triggered!

Haha I love the 3rd comment when I read, "it's an attack on White People".
People can be so fucking weird about games/movies.
I remember a steam post about Conan Exile that essentially said "ugh I enjoy the game but I can't play a game with slavery"
Let me see it's fine to digitally murder, abuse and mutilate digital pixels but enslaving them that's just over the line!

It's just video games man. The arguments against their content are all the same as the first one pushed that playing violent games will make you violent. This is why I think the groups that started attacking video games for their content did a lot of harm and drove a portion of the young demographic that games into the hands of the alt-right. The far right whackos seized on that issue and indoctrinated some of the gullible with it.

Does this game have a righteous bible catapult so players can beat aggressors over the head with it like the street corner preachers do passers by?

Gee, I wonder how many people are planning to "boycott" this game before they decide to change their minds at the last minute by either buying it or pirating it (AKA CoD: Modern Warfare 2)?

Game manufacturers are fighting back against the intolerant gamer gaters. I am off to find a you tube video
