"By treating Christian religious beliefs in a trivial and cynical fashion for commercial purposes, Electronic Arts has clearly decided that it is OK to make fun of certain minority groups, as long as they are not well represented in the gaming industry. What about racial or sexual minorities? Would Take Two Interactive dare stage a fake protest by the Latino community to make fun of their sensitivity to race in Grand Theft Auto games? Would Microsoft laugh in the face of gay and lesbian groups who were banned from Xbox Live because of their sexuality?
Electronic Arts has probably anticipated the backlash, and weighed it against the benefit of free advertising. Of course, the purpose of any viral publicity stunt is to shock and amuse people, and it that sense it has been successful."
There are good video game protagonists, and there are bad video game protagonists.
I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.
Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.
i had to stop reading after the "blatant misogyny" in the Dantes inferno section.
i actually liked Max haha.
the forspoken chick is missing tho
Grab your katana, and slice your way through this list featuring the best hack and slash games the PlayStation 3 had to offer.
Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.
heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.
I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
Dante's Inferno at 4K 60FPS!
Sad this may never get the sequel it deserves. It's still one of the best GoW clones around.
I would love to revisit my old PS3 games played at a higher framerate and resolution. UC2, TLOU, GOW3, KZ2 & 3, Demon Souls
Interesting argument, but I think Christian wingnut fundamentalists deserve all the abuse they get.
On the other hand, EA does have a reputation for being evil so, I can't make up my mind on this one.
No way should they apologise. Religion is the reason for everything wrong in this world. There is no such thing as god, jesus will not save you. Get off your high horses and welcome to the real world!
But they owe us PS3 Owners one
For making their Games Multiplatform
Dont Get Me Wrong
EA have made and do make Some Great Games
But every PS3 owner knows
How much better the Games would be if they were Exclusive to the Playstation
Let's ban Angels and Deamons.
Let's ban Constantine.
Let's ban a hell of alot of other things these people want to whine about.
Go read the short story "The Last Church",it has some good theories on why religious zealots should NEVER be taken seriously.
<---------YES LOL.
