Thoughts on Heaven Vs. Hell

" In this realtime strategy game, players are put in command of angelic, demonic and mortal forces battling to determine the fate of humanity.

In the mid-25th century, human technology has become so advanced that they have learned to manipulate the natural order of the universe and begin meddling in God's design. Heaven makes plans to cleanse the Earth of mankind and start anew, while Hell takes the opportunity to wage Armageddon, the war to end all wars, for the remaining souls of men. Players control one of three factions: Heaven, Hell or Humans, each with their own distinct units, abilities and instruments of war. Their goal is to destroy their enemies by amassing an army and sending them into a holy/unholy war."


I've been looking at this upcoming game for a while now. I have always found the idea of Angels and Demons fighting each other in a Strategy game really cool. But I find it very disturbing that man can thwart God in this game. Anyone else want to add to that?

Honestly I can think of 100 things wrong with this game's premise, BUT if you play in the mindset that "Hey, it's just a game." And its fun, why not play it?

I can only think of two that is wrong(off the top of my head):

1. Man is powerful enough to thwart God?

2. Alters Revelations

But yeah, If I play the game with the idea that it is just a game I should be fine.

 

[Raydin]

Yeah, now that I think about it, those are the only reasons... I exaggerate.

There thats 3 things wrong!

4. God's power is measured by humans? like in the game. I think... mayhaps?

Alrighty! I can't think of any more reasons now.

 

[Raydin]

Yeah, that sounds like all of them.

Ive played it. As far as a game goes, its...decent. The graphics arent anything to shout about and its kinda cartoony.

Id buy it, only because its the only game like it ever made.

Cartoony? Perhaps you are thinking of Heaven & Hell? That game is cartoony. But Heaven Vs. Hell is much different, and it's going to be released sometime later this year.

Sounds Blasphemous to me, the Ability for God to be defeated by Man and Satan

Awww ya dont know what your missing.

Get Black and White and play Evil, its awesome

 

[Victory of the Cross]

Join me and see what you are missing

 

[Helo]

Eh, all you can do is heal people, create flocks of birds and make it rain.

But if your evil you can release packs of wolves to attack the villagers, bolts of lighting to slay them and set thier buildings on fire. Hurl them into the sea and even sacrifice them

Don't you think that sounds a bit twisted and insane?

 

[Helo]

Don't you think that sounds a bit twisted and insane?

It was more fun filling the enemy's temple with poo, then setting the poo on fire.
