Fun for the first week then all hell will break lose. I could see a world war 3 following that game. Plus if you think about it the game wouldn't be that good because everybody would get ponned by kazuluthurukumudado, the only people that would come out on top scientologist and i'm not ready for a world that horrifying. and i probably never will be.Terminalchaos said:

Any ideology that can't handle criticism shouldn't be an ideology. Plus I kind of like the idea of a game starting WW3. Imagine Jack Thompson's response....
What about followers of Cthulhu? How many people have to worship something before it becomes a religion?[/quote]
Cthulu has to be the most bad ass god because he has like power and stuff and he is an alien or whatever tom cruise says so in the game he would kick ass. Of course scientologists would just sit back and wait for everybody to kill themselves and then take over the world.

Does anyone else find it funny that people are decrying the protests of Hindus who are upset about this, shouting 'Silly Hindus! It's free speech!', yet it's that same freedom that allows the Hindus to protest their feelings on the game.
You don't have to agree with their protest, but they have the right to do it.
And for those 'other games' that depicted the barely worshiped gods of days gone past: If people were offended, they should have been vocal. It certainly was their right. But they weren't and/or didn't stick with it and the game is out there. These Hindus obviously are a bit more vocal, and obviously aren't going to go away as quietly. That's their right.
For all those saying 'deal with it' to the Hindus, I say to you: It's their right to protest. Deal with it.

Props to Sony for going so far afield with their game concepts. More props to Sony for featuring a character with an army of monkeys [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Ptitlefr5h9p9h6i92]. Major anti-props to Sony for either not fathoming that this would get people pissed off after the Resistance cathedral incident, the Little Big Planet muslim songs incident, and so on or depending on religion baiting to sell things.
Who cares what the Hindu's believe or think about this game? Who cares what the ancient Romans would've thought of God of War, or what Christians think when I tell my zombie Jesus story every Easter?
Censoring our ideas because somebody's belief system may not be compatible with it is ridiculous. It's backwards. Traditions are old, and the only way to keep moving forward is stop listening to these people who are holding onto old, stagnant ideas.
If they don't like it, they shouldn't buy the game. It's as easy as that.

It's their freedom to protest.
It's my freedom to mock them relentlessly for protesting.
Mmm, democracy.

Wasn't there a game where a control a Japanese wolf god or something and go around saving the world with a magical paintbrush? [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okami]
Maybe they should STFU and enjoy the free press.
