This game called faxion is one of two games i wont play (the other being WoW because its $ $ $ and hype). I will never download, play, or even watch the trailer for it. MY reason being the fact that it takes Heaven and Hell to lightly. This is using religion and twisting it in to fake fantasy. If I am reading the banners and all that jazz righ that's what it is really about. But don't let me jump to conclusions here. If you have played it what is it really about.

*sigh*....such a bad thing to post about on public forums.

its a game its just about having fun but i guess it your religious views get in the way than thats your choice..

Myself im not religious one bit so could not gie a rats arse what they do with the religino aspect in the game.. I believe religion is fantasy anyway..

You didnt play wow because its about making money ? I  hope you grow all your own food and own cows for milk and stuff because you know shops well they are out to make money too..

WoW is a good game for what it is.. not my cup of tea but people really enjoy it.

 That's exactly what it is so don't play it. Of course that's one reason I do.

I can't think of many fantasy games that don't take religions and give them a warped and probably offensive representation. I think maybe Faxion is different only because it does not exempt current majority religions.

Elves are from old Norse religion. Were semi-devine beings sometimes the spirits of fallen warriors.

Voodoo is in many games often depicted as some sort of dark magic. In fact, it is a fairly normal religion. Depicting 'black magic' as if that were the whole of voodoo is like depicting satan worshipers and callign them Christians. It is much based on racism and probably more simple ignorance.

Paladins. Were in real life holy warriors. Word first came from knights that sought out religious artifacts for Charlemagne.

Even our terminology is potentially offensive to the serious religious person. E.g. Avatar. This comes from Hinduism.

Your religious beliefs and your choice not to play.  Nothing to discuss. Hopefully you find something you don't mind playing.

i love the idea of this game twisting religions, heaven and Hell to make a fun pvp based mmorpg.... i just didnt like the gameplay, i hope by launch it is a totally great game.... i cant believe a game based on heaven and hell could suck so im hoping for UTV to make a good game here full of content and good mechanics

Also heaven and hell are not sacred enough not to be twisted for fun gaming purposes... no religion is that sacred

Serious?  You get thorugh life with these views?  Relax.....

 Its actually quite overblown the focus on religion.  Its no diffrent from any other two faction game that has one side as good and the other as evil, which is all of them.

Also, your doing yourself a favor not playing, its a game that belongs in the 1990s in every way shape and form.

But yeah man....bad place to talk about such things...the internet is known for "religious zealot" style athiests, and they dont take kindly to yer type...

And honeslty i didnt see any poking fun of any religions, and despite the advertisements suggests it does so, i can bet they left out one religion known for tolerating others....one known for death threats bombings ect...you can bet that religion was too sacred lol.

I feel ya though...the banner advertisements are about as poor in taste and quality as the game itself...

 excuse me?

they are the same thing

more like walking hand in hand which is hardly a collision

i laugh every time i see the banner advertisement of faxion online where the priest say "i play to keep my hands busy",  thats a good one UTV :).  i may be totally wrong but in that message i see a direct attack to the priests accused of teen abuse.... its just my opinion but i enjoy faxions idea.... the game mechanics need some improvement though

If you were being sarcastic that sentence would have been quite hilarious. Oh well, realize this is just a video game and try to keep that in perspective.

What annoys me about the game is they say its about Heaven and Hell but then turn around and also say theres no good or bad. Its quite silly.

 Because there is no good or bad, just point of view or opinion.

If you murder you go to hell

If you murder, repent and ask for forgiveness you go to heaven

Now a murderer went to heaven...

oh oh oh and I forgot the judging thing... no one is suppose to judge or have an opinion. If it's gods will so be it. Also it's your duty to do for others, taken in, cloth and feed the homeless and yadda yadda. Hmmm I sense a lot of hell goers in the near future... unless they repent.

Games dont kill people , but religion does , I think maybe the OP needs to not be so hypocritical ... sigh
