why are there so many Greek, Norse, Japanese, etc mythology games but no Christian mythology games? all I can think of is dante's inferno and it's more about the novel than Christian mythology.
I would love a game about it
>>333145151
>Christian mythology
heavily involves Jesus.
will piss off Jews, Catholics, Christians and Muslims.
will be boring unless it is an action game
>>333145151
Why should we bother with nonfiction stories like the bible.
>>333145151
>Novel
>>333145151
>but no Christian mythology games
because they're all allegories of the bible instead of straight adaptations, this way nobody can be offended and sales can be maximized.
>>333145151
El Shadai definitely is one. Couldn't you count Bayonetta and Devil May Cry though?
>>333145151
>>333145151
Because people still think Christian mythology tells stories of actual events that happened.
>>333145151
>Christian mythology
Because Christianity is Judaism for casuals. All of the myths are shit.
>Jewish mythology
Because no one wants to show how God told the jews to murder every gentile in Israel, take their wives as slaves and then murder all of their animals because they were ritually unpure.
People like the abstract idea of God but can't deal with the source material.
>>333145151
because fantasy games cover religious themes sometimes without actually talking about jesus because most people in the world and japan don't really care. It's funny because stuff like NGE do more christian symbolism than western games.
but I agree it would be cool. I like the angels and demons in magic the gathering for example so something like that
>>333145151
I guess Doom kinda is. At least it's the "biblical" depiction of hell anyway.
>>333145151

>>333145740
Like, specifically even the dogs and cats. Everything. It was a 40k style purge.
>>333145151
Because the Bible doesn't really work as a video game.
>>333145151
Because most religious media has that plastic smelling tinge of cultism. I was raised Christian and as I was growing up it always felt "weird" when attention was turned to religous entertainment content.
The few exceptions are movies in hollywood that fetishize the devil.
so - like Fallen and Frailty.
---
You want similar Christian games?
You already have them -
Doom is essentially fighting against Hell.
Most survival horror games are essentially living revelations.
If you mean have literal adaptations of the holy books turned into interactive media - it would be a shit show and the characters would be boring because /superman complex/galbrush complex.
Can't be critical of religion ore even praise it over others otherwise you will get one cult or another after you.
>>333145884
Why not? Dudes with super strength, vicious wars and magical weapons of wonder.
You could nake a game about the Romans hunting Jesus for inciting rebellion.
The player has to deal with uppity Jews, the Emperor in Rome, Pontious Pilatus and a guy who can literally raise the Dead, which means desertion amongst the Romans would be high.
>>333146151
Id like a game about a war mongering magical pedo arab ťbh
It could be like civ but you rape little girls for islam wherever you go
Because Christian mythology is actually real
>>333146151
Banned by the vatican in all the places they have influence, tons of Controversie in Burgerland wich in turn will get it banned in most states, Extremists knocking on your Studios Door
would be so cool to have like a God of war type of game where you can summon famous angels once you charge up your godly meter, use weapons from known figures of the Bible like Moses' staff, magic attacks like fire tornados, turning people into stone, with powers that God gave you or again famous Bible people, puzzle elements like commanding animals in areas you wouldn't be able to reach, your save points would be flaming trees, stuff like that.
>>333145151
Social backlash if it was painted as such and no real reason to have you fight against the tiers of angels found throughout the heavens.
Bayonetta touches upon those tiers but it was never a focus.
>>333145151
Boy, if you call Christianity a Mythology in front of Christians or even Jews you will probably be crucified.
>>333145394
>boring
Old testament god was hardcore just as much as any of those.
Imagine playing an adventure game as the prophet of god killing horders of egyptian soldiers to save your people, with the power of summoning hordes of insects to devour them alive, turn their blood into water, summon fire from the sky or literally throwing snakes at them.
>>333146343
>yfw there's actually christfags on /v/ who believe this
>>333146574
>literally throwing snakes at them.
Can't you do that without super powers currently?
>>333145151
Crusader Kings 2
Shin megami tensei 2
>>333146632
Yeah but those are MAGIC snakes.
>>333145151
because Christian mythology is just a ripoff of other, more interesting mythologies
>>333146632
From nothing to snakes?
>>333146574
well that is what I meen anon unless its moses going on a mad one in a hach and slash with godlike powers it will be shit, an artistic story driven game would be boring.
but if they made a game like this it will probably get banned because of the massive abrihamic religions going mental for blasphemy.
most western audiences are far more familiar with christian mythology than anything of the others. if you try to make a game based around those subjects without abstracting them you'd have to modify them in ways that would end up appealing to almost no one, as evidenced by the reactions to the film you posted.
>>333145151
Because the only people who really study and are knowledgeable enough about all the Christian stories are the devout Chrisitians who would probably think that turning it into a video game would not be properly reverent.
I think only the Japanese would have the balls, infrastructure, and cultural distance to pull a judeo-christian mythology game off
well, maybe not the balls because they keep sticking to the safe shit more and more
>>333145151
>no Christian mythology games
You sure about that OP?

The Bible have insanely amount of references to places that really existed and people that really existed too, if you consider that the most unexplained things are just simbolism or exagerations then it is a historical book. The apocalipse is the only book that doesn't match any moment in human history hence why many people consider it to describe the future of humanity.
Also, if you ask any Jews, they will say that Jesus, or JC how they call him, wasn't the Messiah, but they will never say that he didn't existed. And they still waits for their Yeshuah to come.
>>333145151
christians don't think it's "mythology" and no one else would care.
>>333145637
was going to post this
>lower the hp the less clothing he wears
not very christian

>Real
Pick one, fag
>>333146671
>>333146691
I'll give you guys that but come on, tossing snakes isn't mythical or special.
>>333145151
>not playing Testament of You
Fag as always, OP
Because Abrahamic religions are complete trash.
Fuck Christian Mythologie WHENS EPIC OF GILGAMESH
>>333146574
>helping noah fight off people trying to get in before the flood
>helping Moses fight rameses
>trying to stop Jesus crucifixion
>stealth mission of sneaking petered out if prison
>guide and protect lot to the wicked city of Sodom while helping those few good people escape before it's destruction
>>333146842
So does The Book of Invasions, the Norse Sagas and the legends about King Arthur. Almost every national mythology mentions real places and people as well as real historical events.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebor_Gab%C3%A1la_%C3%89renn
There is no reason to believe the Torah is any more true than all of the other myths, and they are largely incompatible with one another.
>>333145151
Assassins Creed kinda plays with Christianity.

The Binding of Isaac?

>>333146990
>he hasn't seen Conan the Barbarian
>>333145151
>more about the novel
You clearly have on fucking idea what you're talking about anyway. That game had nothing to do with either Dante's poem or the bible.
>>333145151
>Christian mythology
History is not mythology.
>>333147269
Not even a christian could consider something like The Book of Revelations to not be mythology. And no body ever considers it history.
>>333146632
THOU SHALT GET OVER HERE
>>333147048
>stealth mission of sneaking petered out if prison
Ha that's good.
>>333147269
>Fictitious history is not mythology
Okay
>>333147048
Literally all of that sounds shit. I think you just answered why nobody has covered it.
>>333147107
AC is Roman mythology aka poor man's Greek mythology
there are christian mythology games.
>>333147459
Thanks for checking in Brotherhood, Revelations and AC3
>>333147484
that cover is too bad ass for the actual game.
>>333147443
sound more exciting than uncharted and people eat that shit up like candy.
>>333147484
Holy shit, I remember that game, it was the tits. You have to collect two of each animal in a level.
What are some japanese games with lots of christian imagery? Their depiction of christianity is always amusing.
>>333147703
Especially when it comes to nuns, it's almost like japanese think monasteries are the christian's version of a brothel.
>>333147536
and now a more modern title
>>333147703
Viewtiful Joe is a weird allegory for Jesus Christ, if I recall correctly.
Okami has that Moses and Abraham sidequest.
Super mario bros 2 had that room with all the upside down crosses.
Dark souls 3 has that boss themed after noah's ark, with 2 or every regular enemy in the game coming out sequentially between each invincibility period. It's the longest fight in the series so far.
Daily reminder that if you're a Christian you're actually serving a proto tribal God of War who usurped the 'real' God.
>In the oldest written lore about this figure, Yahweh is a typical ancient Near Eastern "divine warrior" who leads the heavenly army against Israel's enemies;[6] he later became the main god of the Kingdom of Israel (Samaria) and of Judah,[7] and over time the royal court and temple promoted Yahweh as the god of the entire cosmos, possessing all the positive qualities previously attributed to the other gods and goddesses.
>El, not Yahweh, was the original "God of Israel"—the word "Israel" is based on the name El rather than Yahweh.[23] He was the chief of the Canaanite gods, described as "the kind, the compassionate," "the creator of creatures".[24] He lived in a tent on a mountain from whose base originated all the fresh waters of the world, from where he presided over the Assembly of the Gods with the goddess Asherah as his consort.
>>333148030
As expected. A shame the Christian primordial is forever buried
>>333145151
but there is

>tfw no islamic games that i know of
Where can i play as a follower of Allah and import peace in the west?
>>333149675
Civ V as Rashid
>>333149675
Crusader Kings 2 + Religion of Peace DLC
>>333149675
Crusader Kings II, If you want to get really peaceful export it to a Europa Universalis IV game and go for it. I believe you can also get a mod for EUIV that copies modern state borders and has the ability for you to create and play as ISIS.
I love call of juarez because i was able to spread God's words and shoot fuckers at the same time
The SMT series has Christian influences, I guess. Not 100% abrahamic however
>Divine Comedy
>novel
>>333148030
desu Israel i.e. Yisra-El means "Shall Wrestle God". El was also obviously a war god.
