i dont mind greek mythology, nords etc but my answer for religions that are more prevalent today is no, its just asking for trouble + poison of the mind

If it's just logically and factually, then I have no problem with it being in games, for example in historical context. I just really don't want to see it in games like some kind of propaganda, either for or against it, this has no place in a video games.

I would like to see more Christians being killed.

Hm, I like greek, egyptian or orient myths/gods in games. But I guess it is not the stuff you would call religious, more like educational. Definitely wouldn't like some actual religion put into games just for religious purposes.

As an atheist, I really don't mind it. Games aren't suppose to be taken too seriously. I don't understand why other atheists have a problem with it. It's all fantasy and made up to you isn't it? So who cares.

No, I would rather see more video games in my religion.

fuck dat! NO

If you want a good discussion of the topic of religion in games I'd direct you to the extra credits videos here and then here. If you want to see the reaction to the two videos you can go here.

I think games have been making good use of the symbolism and ideas that religions have to offer. Xenogears was chock full of references that the writers expanded and molded into an incredible work, in fact most Square games have references in some shape or form. Mass Effect has the Ashley character whom is slowly revealed to have faith in a god, which I think adds an interesting element to the series since these humans have encountered the culture shock of aliens and yet religion still exists. There are more examples I'm sure, but the extra credits videos address the topic better than I ever could.

Only if it´s like Binding of Isaac :D

Yes if it is like God of War storyline, them were good games C:

Binding of Issac?

You know, I would very much like to see religion in games. Whether it be with the characters, the plot, or just general Easter eggs, I feel this gives the game a bit more depth and makes the characters more relatable. That's just me though.

No since most of developers have no idea how to implement faith/religion into games without making it some crazy cult or sinister stuff.

jehovah's witness survivor - where you have to go knocking door to door and QTE avoiding attacks from angry residents.

if a game has too much of one religion someone will get butthurt.

I don't want to see religion in games. Mostly because it will inevitably try to propagate it. It would include all pros and none of the contras. It is impossible can't depict all religions equally because each and every one of them denies the rest. And no matter which side developers choose (I can wager it would be Christianity every single time) billions of people will be offended. And religious folds tend to be very vocal.

depends if it's about the whole game NO.
And it can't be a real religion.
And open world (mostly)

From my point of view, there's enough religion already in video games...
Looking at titles alone I can see a lot of religious overtones.
Some games, we side with the 'light' and discourage evil/sin, while other games we sympathize with the 'dark' and defy 'A' god-like figure.
In Sims/Civ/Insert-your-choice-Tycoon, we play as the god.
Personally, unless I'm interested in the religion hinted at, I tend to disregard religion in Video games.

I like my games to be focused purely on the mechanic - I don't like religion, politics or even "emotion" in my games. I like to turn off my brain and just see if I'm faster/more co-ordinated/have better timing than the AI or other players. So no, I don't want religion in my games - but that's just me.

I love it when I'm playing through a game and come across an unexpected 'what. the. FUUUUUUUUUUU....' moment. Like in Saint's Row 3 when Killbane kills one of... well, spoiler there but those who saw it will agree with me there.

As long as I know what I'm getting into before I begin playing, I am fine with religion or politics if they keep the preaching limited and really ramp up the intrigue to keep the reader/viewer/player interested.

As an athiest who constantly gets hated on by religious people,

WHY CAN'T WEEEEEEEE BE FRIENDS????????

I'm a little leery of games that explore Christian ideals and history, mainly because it's been tried before and, with no exceptions I'm aware of, they all suck. The last one I looked at was Catechumen, which was made in 2000 but looked like it was made in '90.

Thought provoking ≠ Religious based.

I'm taking this as you wanting to spread Christianity through games. No.

Now if you're spreading the base ideals brought forth by many religions and schools of though (truth, true happiness, possibly just maybe god) then I believe, that done correctly, these ideas can enhance the plot and make the game more memorable for people playing it.

Also satires of every religion. Someone make that game.

I would love more games like El Shaddai or games based on Biblical stories ... the problem is that I don't want religious games, I want that they use cristian's mythology in the same way they use Greek's and Roman's

I honestly don't care if religion is there or not. It's not a big deal either way. Anyone who's going to get bent out of shape about this needs to get a reality check. I wouldn't get mad or offended if a game was all about the praising of Buddha or if it was hugely anti-religion. There's no reason for anyone else to get offended or mad either.
