clicky

I find this incredibly idiotic.
When you play a game like this, you play a character. Booker, in this case, does not care for the baptism but on the off-chance you do take things that happen ingame that seriously fair enough. Hold to your beliefs, its all well and good however the game in-question is a bioshock game. Bioshock where shooting people, setting them on fire, breaking necks and pushing them off the columbia to their doom occurs about just about all the time.

Do none of those things offend him? Thoughts?

If people want to return a game they're entitled to. No skin off my ass. They're not trying to get the game banned or anything.

The guy presented a clear and reasonable argument as to why he cannot play the game. That scene in particular resonated on a personal level with him and he was unable to get past that because he wasn't able to separate himself from the game. Would you call a rape victim idiotic if they couldn't play a game or watch a movie that depicted a violent rape scene? Just because you're able to set aside your own morals and ethics for say violence in a fantasy setting doesn't mean you can do that with everything. Some things are just too grounded and it will affect you so deeply you can't remove yourself from it.

So what about like hookers in GTA? Or Giant purple dildos in Saints Row? If there is anything in a game that offends someone should they just be able to return it? I mean seriously, people need to get over themselves. ITS JUST A FREAKING GAME.

It's a religious issue, and religion has special rules. Because Jesus.
