So Muslims find it offensive if terms from the Qur’an are used in song?

A lot of people seem to have to bend over backwards to accomodate their strict religious faith.

 

Can you imagine a Catholic priest asking for some offensive material to be removed from a game?

They wouldn't bat an eyelid.

They did. With resistance. The shooting in the church of manchester or something. Didn't get removed though.. but it was post release.

 

In either case.. i hate people that whine about everything and ruins it for everyone else. Thanks a lot whiners who gets offended over nothing !

I can't go and warn every single person who did it previously, but if you're going to make any offensive comments towards Muslims from this point forward, expect a one day ban or longer.

Good (for me). I was gonna get either this of Fable first day, and i was leaning towards Fable. So, no loss.

Bad news for people who wanted it though it can't be that huge of a delay.

 

 It will be big enough. They would have to ship all copies back. Then remove that song or lyrics from the game and replace them. Press all the BluRay discs again and reship to retailers.

 

Someone correct me if this is wrong. Sounds like it will take a while.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Come on 3 weeks is not that much, in 3 weeks Sony can advertisite more and maybe Media Molecule can poolish a little more.

@masterb8tr,,,,,,,,, nice to hear that from you

i am a muslim, and i am shocked and deeply offended about the inclusion of 2 phrases from our Holy Qur'an in a song,,, but on the bright side, sony are delaying one of their biggest games to rectify the thing, a patch is not a solution, not everyone have internet connection yet!!!!!!!

MASTERB8TR IF YOU WERE JOKING, IT"S NOT A GOOD JOKE, AND IF YOU WERE SERIOUS, IT"S SAD THAT YOU'RE SOOO RACIST !!!!

 

No offense, but all we (the world aside from Muslims) seem to be doing lately, is bending over backwards to make sure you guys aren't offended.

It's not like we are making fun of the fact that those lines are in the game.  We wouldn't even notice it was from the Qu'ran. Muslims are only making it a problem.  We wouldn't even have realized.

It is a sad day indeed that everyone has to "suffer" (let's exaggerate as well here, since others are too) because Muslims feel offended.

 

This is nothing that a patch couldn't fix, but apparently some people want to make sure it's being blown way out of proportion.  You cry and whine about the fact that not everyone has an internet connection.  Here's a news flash: even fewer people would've understood those words anyway...

 

And flinging the racist-card around already?  Wow, I expected that one to come a bit later in the discussion.

 

 

edit:@ montana: fine, ban me.  This guy can complain about other people being racists and such, but going into a discussion about it, may lead to a ban?  ... fine.

stop whining. You can't go get offended over everything. Why do you think there are so many wars ? because so many people whine. No whining = no wars.. or alteast way fewer.

It's like getting offended because coolio said "as i walk through the valley of the shadow of death" du du dum.. it's a cool song. Now i'm not christian but if any of them were offended.. what happened ? nothing.. .. It had no effect.

The whole world has gone into whine mode as of late. Instead of just giving in we should have it released on date.

Polish? nah. But they can adverise and hype it up more. This delay has more good in it that bad. Plus, it won't ruin the sales of other PS3 games around the same release time, Far Cry 2, Bioshock, Eternal Sonata.



AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

This sucks. Wasn't that excited for the game, but I wanted to try it out because it looks interesting. If it comes out next month, then I don't think I'll be picking it up. Gears of War, Valkyria, Resistance 2, and COD come out that month.



FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK religion. again you have screwed me....... What the hell is the point of the Qu'ran if you can't quote it. Sorry If I seem insensitive but this is just ridiculous. Games with mission called Kill All Hatians can sell millions of copies. Bible based games are released. Games based on Greek and Roman mythology are released. BUT THEY CANT realease a E rated game because it has two Muslim expressions in the background.... I doubt any one would have noticed. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

This is by far the worse day in my life. I wish I spent more time playing the Beta.



They didn't proof the music in the game before this? I mean...Why? Maybe this will allow them to added the fix that the patch was suppose to provide. It's still coming out so no biggie people.

*waves police lights* Nothing to see here.



The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!

...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?
