Diablo. What can be better for a real Christian than killing demons non-stop?!

At least we can buy whichever game we want without risking to be beheaded if Pope Frank doesn't approve them. A few bishops love to say outlandish bullshit against RPGs, but they aren't as pesky as Jack Thompson.

Oh yeahh, kind of a spoiler though lol

Yes, but when you start sanitizing every last bit of violence and sexual content from your media, this crosses the line from trying to be personally different from everyone else to whitewashing the way the universe is.

I mean, two examples of even barely edgy content. Dark Souls is really dark, violent, more than a bit nihilistic, and if you take all your character's clothes, all he or she is wearing is a basic loin cloth (and a chest wrap for the ladies). I hesitate to call this sexual content as the player character spends more than half the game as a mummified corpse and most of the nudity in the game is intended to disturb rather than arouse. And yet, at the end of the day, Dark Souls offers players a temptation--you can murder NPCs or invade other player's worlds to acquire souls and humanity. And the major reason that's tempting for most players to begin with is that Dark Souls is a hard game.

So on the one hand you have a nihilistic universe challenging the Christian worldview because no character--not even your own--gets a good ending, and on the other being able to deal with temptation parallels the Christian worldview nicely. One challenges your views, the other reaffirms them, and if your faith is genuine both will strengthen it.

But if you are a stickler for clean content it doesn't qualify because Quelaag is gorgeous if you ignore something VERY OBVIOUS about her character design. Quelaag is actually a toned down version of Sin from Milton's Paradise Lost.

I could say the same thing about Ghost Trick. Ghosts really don't have much of a place in the Christian Worldview, but Ghost Trick tells an incredible story about the value of human life with them. I'm not going to burn that bridge just to be a purist.

All this is just to say I'm not zealous about drawing lines on what a Christian should or shouldn't play. If your faith is genuine anything will (in the long run) strengthen it, whether it is a challenge, temptation, or an alternative. Faith is not a valid reason to avoid something. Saying your faith precludes you from doing something also implies anyone else who doesn't agree and can't share the same faith.

Saying your personal taste means you don't like it is perfectly valid, however.

Okay first off I'm a Christian , Jesus Christ is my beloved savior. But with that said I can play any game I want. Last I read there was nothing in the bible , that said playing video games is a sin. Even though there was no video games. But you can play anything , just don't act on what you play. It says in the bible you can think bad thoughts just don't act them out.

final fantasy x....



I like it when they talk about faith :)

Why, Ace Attorney, of course.

This must be the dumbest fucking question ever!! 

Did anyone say Diablo? No? That's probably the most christian-friendly game there is, taking out all demons from hell and stuff surely should appeal to christians.

Articles like this should never be written. They are, unavoidably, judgmental - and encourage others to be judgmental. This goes against Biblical teachings (believe it or not!!!) and we should all refrain from telling other people how they "should" or "shouldn't" live their lives.
