The whole Heaven and Hell thing?

[Unrevealed]

The Final stages are Heaven and Hell, doesn't anybody think SNK is pushing it just alittle. I mean they have God in the game "Lord" as they seem to call him, thats just not right. And to make things worse some fighter's endings they attack "Lord" such as Akuma and Demeteri (or whatever). First of all you fight "Lord" you're kinda get the Shi* kicked out of you. I guess it's thw whole God thing that annoys me.

It's called a gimmick. It's an excuse to use different characters as boss characters. So what if they make reference to God or any diety in a game? It's done in lots of games, for years now, get over it. A game's reference to any diety is hardly a basis for any religion.

I think it´s one of the best parts on the game. It´s so unique and the first few times you see it it´s truly amazing. Also the backgrounds, characters and sound for thoose two stages are really awesome.

Demitris endings are great!

Who gives a shit? I mean really. I kind of like the idea of getting to hand Satan his ass to him, and as far as going up against GOD himself... well, it's a video game after all ya know.

You've got to bear in mind, tho', that this is a game made by Japanese, a people among whom Christians are a very small minority. For a non-Christian Japanese to include Christian theological imagery in a video game or a piece of art is no more strange to him than it would be for an American to do the same with Greek or Norse mythological imagery. Western ideas, traditions, and culture have been a source of increasing curiosity for the Japanese ever since the country gradually began easing up on its isolationist policies in the last couple centuries. As a Catholic, I'm not terribly offended by the imagery presented by SVC CHAOS -- it really doesn't set out to defame God or inspire support for the Devil. If you're uncomfortable with it, tho', I'd recommend you steer clear of Japanese mangaka such as Nagai Gou. Gou utilizes Christian imagery (not sure if he's Christian, himself, or not) in almost all his works -- it doesn't crop up too much in his Super Robot stuff, but then you've got the more obvious series, like Devilman...

land just remember it could always be worse:
SEE?

At first, I assumed JESUS was the main character's name. Then I noticed that the game's full title is "JESUS ~Kyoufu no Bio-Monster~" (The Terrifying Bio-Monster), and started to wonder just how offensive this game might be. But after reading screencaps 3-6, it appears that cap# 4 indicates that the space station that serves as the setting for the story is named JESUS ("20,000 kilometers above the Earth, floating in space, the skylab 'JESUS'").

thanx for the quick translation Dash no Chris...
I figured if the Heaven/Hell thing was so bad for him to accept then the title of that game alone would be worse...

Sure they attack Lord, but do they win? I think you're looking way to into this, loosen up alittle. I pretty sure us American, do this kind of stuff too. But it's a fun game none the less.

it isnt strictly heaven or hell considering that is not what the stages are called,

flames dont mean hell and that old guy wasnt god as he appeared in both levels and im sure the devil would not allow him to appear in hell without giving him a burn up

Your post just jogged some old, old memories I had as a kid! There was this character in Marvel Comics named Damien Hellstrom or something to that effect and he went to heaven in search of god and when he got there he broke down mentally as he discovered that God and Satan were the same being just monkeying with mankind. Sorry for the OT post, but I had a serious flashback

Not that i am in the slight bit religious , but if god and satan did exist,it would be as funny as fuck if they were the same people, just with a split personality.

Anything with George Burns in it is funny. This was the 3rd and final "Oh, God" movie -- I only saw it once about 15 or so years ago, so I don't remember it much at all. I do seem to recall thinking the first movie in the series was better, tho'.

Haven't seen 18 Again!, but according to imdb.com, it co-starred Red Buttons and Pauly Shore. Good lord. I never would have imagined that Pauly Shore would have ever co-starred with either George Burns or Red Buttons, let alone both of them.

BTW, the other George Burns movie I always remember is Just You and Me, Kid, with Brooke Shields and Burl Ives.

oh please ryan. this is a good (real) friend of mine. This is so typical for him to get hung up on the littlest thing (like a female cast in Final fantasy x-2) and he always ends up liking it anyway. OH and sorry if you're not really ryan, he told this was his topic but he's a compulsive liar and if so this post is very awkward
