Poll: Would you play a game based on the Bible?

[RagingScottsman]

Yeah that can be a toughy. See there already games based on the bible. The AVGN did a few of them, granted I think they were old testament. Now as for this. It sounds kinda fun except you know the religious people are going to hate a game with Jesus and a attack button in it

And by old testament, you mean the actual games themselves and not just the subject matter.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

No, because I despise religion, especially all those hypocritical "Christians" out there.

 

[mayney93]

only if it was done well and focused on the action bits none of the rpg jeebus disciple go get some bread for me crap

 

[Spiner909]

There already is one. It's called The Bible Game(no joke)

 

[Woodsey]

Sure, why not? Most games are based around made-up stories.

 

[Poomanchu745]

Sure, I think it would be a great addition to the fantasy genre.

 

[Doctor Robert]

Two words:
Bibles Adventures

 

[SantoUno]

Fuck yeah, it has lots of action-packed fairytales ooooh see what I did there? and as long as the game wouldn't try to force its religion on me it will be ok.

 

[Zetsubou]

Hell yes, Sampson would be awesome to play as.

 

[SextusMaximus]

A free roaming game where you play as Jesus?

Yeah, that would be amazing.

 

[Apache2142]

The bible is boring yet brutal if my memory is correct-although i havent read it since since i was like 9 :/
If this got made im sure other religions would follow suit. Or the DLC would be like a campaign as Allah or w/e

 

[WolfLordAndy]

Revelations would be one hell of a final level. (pun, sort of intended)

 

[firedfns13]

Make it exceedingly violent and controversial as well. I would definitely play a game that confuses church goers. They wouldn't know whether or not to praise it or to condemn it.
(They'd probably condemn it as blasphemy, but still)

 

[jokr2thief]

I don't know why they haven't made on already. It wouldn't be the first video game based on a fictional premise.

 

[The_Deleted]

No, because I despise religion, especially all those hypocritical "Christians" out there.

Yeah, they're almost as bad as all those geeky, spotty gamers who can't talk to girls without popping snot or telling them about Star Trek conventions.

 

[Daffy F]

Oh hell yeah! You could play as god during the book of Exodus, it could be like an RTS.... Get the to slay their enemies, and you would have like a 'belief' meter, and when it started to go down, you would have to create a leader to boost it back up, and make them believe again, or something like that.

 

[ReinofFire]

It would make sense if Jesus could fight (You dont think that he just walked into hell and then said bye to the demons just like that.)

Yes I would play a game based on the bible, but not the kiddied down version. The bible is one of the most brutal fictional stories out there. It would make an awesome game. But having it to where the whole thing is just like a bad movie game (people would cry) would just make people mad. Yes I am a christian but I dont believe in it being as light hearted as people portray it.
