Of course, the creators can do whatever they want with their game, but that doesn't shealter them from criticism either. Many people prefer the older, tentacled version, and IMO the introduction of the new design seems a bit incongruous, which is a perfectly valid thing to level criticism about, considering the…

It seems like a bit of a stretch that the Prothean beacon would show you visions of the cycle before the Protheans though, as opposed to the Protheans themselves being harvested. More puzzling in ME2 where the collectors were added to the vision, obviously to foreshadow *spoilers* that the Collectors were Protheans.…

I wonder if Pallando and Alatar will be present, I'm not sure if they had gone to the East by this point or not, but it would be cool to see all five of the Istari.

Again, It's not that I don't think they are iconic, just that Kratos and Sweettooth are somewhat inappropriate. Kratos belongs in gore fests like God of War or Mortal Kombat, not in a game designed to appeal to a wide age group such as Smash Bros. Earlier Sweet Tooth I could see, but the new one seems a bit grim, even…

"Um, maybe you should do some research on them. Start with:

Yes, I agree, it would be offensive, but I think there is some sort of equality in including abrahamic gods instead of letting Kali sit with a dunce cap in the corner with all the dead religions. Besides, if they can put Kali in a thong, they can put Jesus in a game with other gods.

"You dont treat ignorance with respect just cause a lot of people subscribe to it.

1) I think you may be partly right. However I do think it has a lot more to do with Orientalism and playing it safe with christians than anythign else.

"Luckily things dont become fact just cause a high quantity of people want it to."

I shudder to think what will happen if we get the writing of Skyrim or Oblivion with spread out over a map size comparable to Arena.

Lets not forget a lot of the old-testament stuff. God himself does a lot of smiting, there are also mortal religious figures such as Goliath or David, Angels, and monsters liek Behemoth. I'd say there is plenty to choose from there, IMO.

I agree that graphics should be secondary in games. However, I find the style of art-no doubt inspired by that Star Wars cartoon show going on now- to be jarringly inconsistant with the previous entries in the series. I intensely dislike it, and I can see why it would put a lot of people off of the game.

I have never been a lover of the trend of modern games towards higher-end graphics. That being said, I don't like the art *style*-the quality is fine. I find the cartoony Clone Wars-style art direction to be extremely unappealing to the point where I actually prefer KOTOR graphics over this, which is not something I…

I agree that religion shouldn't be a taboo subject when it comes to video games, but I do thin that their exclusion of the abrahamic gods is a bit suspicious, and combined with the act of turning Kali into a sex object, it seems like the devs consider Hinduism to be an inconsequental 'exotic' religion - ready to be…

The world would be a barren cultural wasteland if you removed all religion.

Even as an Athiest, I cannot comprehend how many people insist on labeling Catholicism as a non-christian relgion. They do realize that the Protestant movement split off of Catholicsim, right? It's really puzzling how so many protestants downplay the roots of their branch of Christianity.

You know what is ignorance? The ethnocentric and arrogant viewpoint that your beliefs, culture, and way of life exist in a vacuum and that you can morally be intollerent towards other people merely because they choose to follow a lifestyle that diverges from yours. This is the same sort of policy that fundamentalist…

Organizations such as the one Zed is a member of no doubt have to choose their battles going after a Indie game is no doubt going to much less for furthering their cause than going after bigger budget, more visable and mainstream games. such as Asuras Wrath and Smite. A larger consumer base means more exposure which…
