Comment on Call of Duty's massive development budgets revealed: $700 million for Black Ops Cold War
Valencia@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoSo like what games do you ban? Just modern shooters? Just for an alternate take, my parents were crazy Christians and would only buy me shit like this game. I’ll tell you what, playing that game did not make me more interested in religion and way more interested in call of duty 4. Not saying that’s what you’re doing, but just that some kind of understanding between you guys is key.
Did that Bible game include gameplay around setting up a “church” that was actually a political donation front to promote political parties that would limit free access to healthcare for the population (under the auspices of lower taxes and “market driven solutions to healthcare”)?
Or was the gameplay lazy and uninspired?
It’s probably almost been like 20 years from when I last played it, but I don’t think the game was that bad honestly. From what I remember it was more like a who wants to be a millionaire crossover with mario party. Answer who did Cain violently kill in the first pages of the bible and then play like a minigame with go karts or something. But since I had fusion frenzy, believe it or not the bible game did not see much game time in my xbox lol
I was hoping for a more simulator/tycoon game. 😀

My kids are only allowed to play the Steam re-release of Noah’s Ark for NES..
Nah. I’m just fucking with you.
They’re specificcially not allowed to play the Call of Duty series, and anything that presents a lot like it. (Some modern warfare style games accept funding from the US military, and I can’t be arsed to keep track of which ones.)
I play Halo with my older kids, for some idea where I draw the line.

The good news is those games aren’t as popular as they used to be. It’s not 2010s anymore.

I dunno, since if recently got a Steam re-release, it seems like someone must still be buying Noah’s Adventure, even today.

Not sure which game you’re thinking about, there are lots of shitty Christian shovelware from that era, but Konami’s Noah’s Ark has nothing to do with it. And very few to do with the biblical story really.
I had that game on the NES (and I’m not in a Christian or religious family at all).
It’s a real game, the arcade-y kind that tries to kill you all the time. It’s quite hard.
