Had a friend like that. Judged everything on sight and would refuse to have anything to do with it unless his entire family forced him into it. He despised Pikmin until I showed him some gameplay, for one example.

Yet he jumped on WoW without a thought and grinds through it religiously.

>>get annoyed when you haven't/don't

Also, an observation: Just as there are more women who play games than people might think, there are also a lot of dudes who don't play games. I guess part of me was in this assumption until recently that young American male always = gamer, but I guess a bunch of guys in the 18-34 demographic either only like older vidja, have kids/a job and can't play games, or are under this "gaems r for fat dum peepl who liev in mom's basment lolol" mentality.

He didn't mutilate them or anything like that. His dumb ass just fucking let them freeze to death outside in December. I remember I even tried to keep them warm by giving them my sweater as a bed and staying with them.

He couldn't be separated from Resident Evil 5 to take care of them.

So all in all I'm glad I called him a piece of shit and left.

>Well, when the Justice league fights an army of robots, they rip them apart, right? Pretty graphically too.
Yeah?
>But if it's people, or even aliens, they just knock them out. Best case scenario, it cuts off like nine seconds before he's killed
I think it kinda depends on how human the robits are.

What measure is a non-human? Like, do you consider a given robit, with a personality and feelings, no better than a Battle Droid or a printer, or like a family member, like Rosie or Johnny 5?

Not the point. Alright, remember when Legion discusses how the Morning War began? Remember what started everything? "Does this unit have a soul?"

He really didn't this bad around these things until he started going to Reddit. He really liked Dante's Inferno for the most part, for example. He still took shots at religion or spiritual stuff, but it more just trying to be fun and get a rise out of me. Now he doesn't shut the fuck up about it, and hanging out with him frequently degenerates into bickering and yelling.

>>Sure. How much is it?
Well, it's $8.45 right now for four of their games, plus a bunch of prototypes, but if you spend $35--

Technically, it's four games, supporting their Kickstarter for a fifth, and prototypes. Also, you get a DVD of the making-of...

He's not an angel, he's a dude sent down from Heaven to wrangle them. Turns out, that the six (seven?) Angels that fell royally fucked up: two of them losing their voices, one of them dying while falling, and their leader being reduced to a vegetative state.

It was fun to play on the weekend, and the gameplay was an...interesting take, but nothing to write home about. Bunch of loading issues though.

Long story short: If someone is so hung up on religion or lack of religion that they won't give a game a chance, even if they'd probably like it for other reasons, they're a moron.

I mean, I've never been religious, don't really believe in anything, but I'm looking forward to eventually playing Persona (and maybe Shin Megami Tensei). Because the gameplay, art, and story look interesting.
>> No. 174662
>>174651
Persona has a lot more to do with Jungian Philosophy and Shintoism than it does with any western religion. Shin Megami Tensei deals with Christian demons/devils and things more directly, but in Persona the bad things all more or less come from human hearts and minds, not from evil divine forced.

At least that's true in 3 and 4. I haven't played 1 or 2, so I can neither confirm nor deny that statement in their case.

Are you really judging a game based on its graphical fidelity and basic transportation over it's art direction and game-play focus?

Try some out for yourself and see if you mesh with it. Couldn't hurt to see if it has something novel for you.
