Hitman: Absolution (PS3 or Xbox 360) $19 + Free Shipping

Quote from thechan : To those who have care this is a garbage propaganda game. Its very anti-Catholic so if your Catholic or care about respecting Christians dont buy this. I am sure they would never attack Muslims,Jews or Atheists the way they do Christians in this. And if they did their would definitely be a lot of outrage and the game would probably be forced to change. nothing new entertainment industry has a big bais against Christianity especially Catholics. And this is not an open invitation to argue about Religion I am just trying to let the people who are Christian know about the propaganda. So please dont start a religious argument on this thread. And if you dont care about the propaganda than dont reply just ignore my post. THANK YOU

Yeah this game is very offensive but unfortunately people in America have been conditioned or even brainwashed to let everything slide when it comes to attacking Christianity or promoting immoral views for example if your a virgin your a loser.

Basically what the entertainment industry says that goes. For example if Homosexual is the new norm than us Americans will believe it because hollywood or the media or even video games say so. I mean even Communist Lenin wanted to take over hollywood because he knew it was a major propaganda tool.

People dont realize that its not just a game or a movie or news article its meant to attack Christianity(which is the majority religion in America) and meant to attack certain views and promote other views. And the manipulating or brainwashing is really effective.

But like you said if it were Muslims,Jews and especially Atheists being attacked people would react and I will include if it was homosexuality being attacked and certain other actions or views than people would be upset. And yes they would never attack them anyways.

But when it comes to Christianity or Catholic Church or moral views that have been held since the beginning of time than its open season.

Many people like at these things and think nothing think its just a joke or just a game and thats how you know the propaganda is working.

Quote from vipforamn : For example if Homosexual is the new norm...

What do you mean "the new norm"? It's not the new norm, it's just more accepted than it used to be. It's understood today that everyone, regardless or color or creed, should be treated fairly (albeit that we're still far from that in reality).

Using your argument you could say that racial equality is the "new norm".

Based on the rapidity of this price drop, I anticipate $15 or $10 deals in the next few months and so I am going to continue to wait.

This isn't really the place for this discussion, but I wouldn't expect a game about assassinating people to promote Christian values. Look elsewhere for that. This game does not hide it's content. As the world's largest religion, with billions of adherents worldwide (about a third of humanity), I doubt Christianity is going to be destroyed by some violent entertainment. I'm mature enough to enjoy these games responsibly and get my moral teaching elsewhere. It is the case that it's more acceptable to criticize the majority rather than the minority, but I don't see that as a problem. It's not dangerous to be a Christian. If hatred of minorities was acceptable (Muslims, Jews, and atheists were mentioned as examples of religious minorities), those minorities could be scapegoated and face real persecution and danger. Which has happened many times in history and continues to occur today. Noone should be endangered by their ethnicity or peaceful practice of religion. People call for violence against innocent Muslims, Jews, and atheists (the single most distrusted group in America) all the time and I'm glad such views are not socially acceptable. I haven't played this game but I expect there's some casual mockery of maybe neoconservative Christians, nothing extreme to get all excited about. Let me know when there's a popular game where throwing Christians to the lions in pagan Rome is encouraged and I may join you on the picket line.

repped, thanks!

You guys ate the troll bait like a pack of dogs.

Is this one similar to the first hitman? For some reason I only like the first one.

Well, I was about to buy but taking taxes into consideration, and the 2 1/2 weeks for shipping, the difference with Amazon is just $6.46 and I got Prime too... so it doesn't sound too tempting...

Quote from caliber : Great price. Ive been waiting for this to hit the ~$20 mark. Someone once said on Slickdeals to only buy games when the deals make the front page. This seems to have been very good advice for me but you have to be patient. And since I'm not that kind of guy who needs to keep games but likes to play single player campaigns with good story lines, I turn around and trade them in for amazon credit. Ive played a lot of great games and spent pretty much about $10 to play. Pretty reasonable in my mind. Off topic i know but i thought i would impart some wisdom and thank the SDer who imparted that knowledge on me. May good vibes and karma be with you today!

That's actually exactly what I do - only game I play MP is COD which I keep around, but I buy lots of games on the cheap, play through them once (maybe twice if they're awesome, like Spec Ops: The Line - wow), only difference is I sell them on eBay - you get more than Amazon, and sometimes make up what you spent on it.

I guess overall moral is, never buy games full price or day 1 - they will drop, and drop fast.

As the op of this deal I feel it i should make a statement about all the controversy it caused.

When I posted this deal I was only thinking of the enjoyment my fellow gamers would have executing virtual marks. To sit on your couches or even bean bag chairs eating cheesy poofs and downing Mountain Dew. Taking out your days frustration on those evil pixels regardless of their race, color, or creed. I do not in any way support hate of any biological person... Except for the French. I want to live in a world where people of all races and religion can sit in front of their tv and headshot each other in peace. So I ask you my brothers and sisters to put aside your differences, pick up a controller and enjoy the virtual worlds game designers have built for us. For we all know that the real world is much uglier then any game.

Peace, love, and happy hunting to all.

I had to do a double take when i read the message, but somehow having the username "thechan" kinda clued me in.

You're playing HITMAN for god sakes (pun slightly intended)

Quote from fitftw : I'm sorry but if you're a Christian, or belong to ANY religion, you shouldn't even be playing this game. It goes against your beliefs. Tell me where in the Bible it condones shooting people in the face? Although, there IS a ton of violence and murder in those old books, so in that case, maybe you SHOULD be playing this game... In any event, if you're offended by any type of entertainment media, maybe you should go live in the woods. Ever heard of something called separation of church and state?

I don't think the Bible covered video game violence. An update is in order! Convene the council!

Very nice, been looking at this game for awhile...waiting for the $20 mark.
