Be passionate all you want, I don't mind. I do disagree with most of your points though. For instance >To me the problem is when you want to /act/ like you’re a story game with a big dramatic plot and worldbuilding, why bother using a mythology if you’re going to piss all over it and get it entirely wrong? Not following the original story is orthogonal to having a big dramatic plot and worldbuilding. Its also just a reinterpretation, that's an extremely common thing in art. On a smaller time scale look at how batman went from campy comedy in the Adam West era, to a brooding action hero with Nolan's trilogy. And these are stories that are hundreds/thousands of years old. >By extension of that analogy, why should I have to wade through a hack writer’s truly awful fuckup of a story just to play the hacky and slashy bits people are buying the game God of War for. That's just like, your opinion man, to quote another piece of art. I happen to have found the story compelling and given the rave reviews it got, that's not an uncommon sentiment. The story not being for you is a lot different than it being _truly awful_ |

Would you make these games:
-Hitler game where you murder Jews and it is very sympathetic to Hitler.
-Mohammed game where he runs a gay nightclub that sells more alcohol than any other club on earth and in his spare time poses for nude portraits the player draws
-Slavery simulation, you play as a slave ship and it shows how you go from a poor family with a small farm to a big happy family with lots of slaves on a big farm!
-Judaism simulator! You orchestrate a large international conspiracy and the game shows every single Jewish person as conniving and evil
-Mongol horde simulator, go through china and rape until you die, textures are randomly generated and you see the Chinese that you kill have cheated on their taxes so it’s fine
The common thread between all of these awful experiences being they would show great disrespect to the material. If you truly believe “no sacred cows man haha!” Please make one of the above.
You can even make it a god of war game!
