Bioshock Infinite returned because of religious qualms.

This guy is just... yuck.

Lol what a morron.

lol

No, I could see some logic there. If it was say, an alignment choice, then it wouldn't be a problem. But characters are FORCED to be baptized.

I think the fact that this chap would not accept something into his life unless it was pure in his eyes, and bent to the will of his sensibilities, is the reason this scene exists in the first place.

I also mirror the thoughts of many of the comments on that article. That a virtual simulation of murder, presumably under the guise of righteousness, is perfectly acceptable. A simulated baptism, however, is so wrong it warrants return of the game. I don't even need to argue religion to say that I think this guy is riding a lame and lopsided moral high horse.

Why would you do that?

If you want so badly to link the article, make a screen of the whole page instead and share it here. Do not give them any views

I am a Christian and I was not offended at all. On the contrary, I was intrigued by the use of symbolism and descent into the distortion of something good that was taking place in the game. It was a plot device much like the violence and I don't think that it was intended to defame or offend any one. I think people need to not take it to such level that puts themselves as the ones making a decision with their own lives in the game. We are individuals, all engaged in culture and the commentary that Bioshock Infinite provides on the human condition is fantastic as far as I have progressed in the game.

I read (half) of a good article on the game from a Christian publication who praised the game's story telling. I had to stop to avoid spoilers. If you want to check it out
Clicky (Caution, Bioshock Infinite Spoilers) I'm sorry the guy in the article couldn't enjoy the game, but not everyone from a similar background feels the same. :)

Oh for fucks sake...

Not offensive to me, it is just a video game.

why is this news, this is not relevant in the least to the game. many what people put up to get views.

A crappy writer needs more attention.

Proof

if I had actually bought it I would have wanted a refund due to the worst save system ever(auto save only)

.. I have accidentally loaded a checkpoint twice.. which means twice I lost progress due to the save system twice(and its an annoyance)

fortunately it came free with my video card(along with tomb raider which was awesome)

At least he didn't bomb Irrational.

Remove the link please. It's Kotaku.

This is nerdbaiting. They are encouraging you to find a story appalling, so you know why? SO YOU LINK TO IT. Because their pageviews, get them money. And look, it's working, because of people like you. If you really, really must express your opinion on this, link to an IMAGE of their site, NOT THE SITE.

Also? STOP READING KOTAKU.

"see a baptism through the protagonist eyes? how do you dare!
just let me eviscerate people and eat babies, that's right"

yeah, it does make sense.. :|

xD

Yeah, very amusing indeed. But don't try to find logic in there, there's none in religion.

And the fact that he has a problem with baptism and apparently doesn't give a damn about very cruel-heads-rolling-blood-everywhere in hundreds of murders...yeah. Sad.

Thanks for the spoilers y'all....

can i get a refund on the time i spent reading that garbage. i think i can do some thing more constructive like flossing, or maybe playing forger on the Brooklyn bridge

lol poor idiot

It's Patricia Hernandez. It's foolish to expect sane texts from her.

He obviously 100% the game and asked for refund afterwards. His letter seemed too shady!

The guy has a right to his beliefs, and if the game involves something so uncomfortable for him that he can't play through it, he wouldn't be able to play the game. I feel the same way about certain games, many of which were quite popular, and have steered clear of those games because of it. It's too bad there was no indication of this content before the guy purchased the game. You would have thought this would have come up at least once, before, so that the devs would have given fair warning, but I guess not.

This reminds me of when I worked at GameStop. A man came in to return a 360 copy of Viva Pinata because he didn't want his 8yo daughter watching "implied pornography" (the "romance dance" sequences) :P

I tend to skip these kind of stories that just make my blood boil with rage towards stupidity and ignorance.
