(spoilers)
I just did the whole cross mission and good lord as a Christain this has to be the most fucked up, disrespectful, insulting yet beautiful eye opening things I have ever done.
Now the whole game is basically a beacon of anti Christain values of crime and basically porn on posters. But I took it as a result of the world and not the values it teaches. I even saw the “passion” poster and was like that's a bit disrespectful but it is what it is. I just played it like a guy living in a fucked up world he didn't like and it didn't like him back.
But damn finally go to the mission the poster was all about and WOW. First of I love how they gave the player a choice, you can choose for your V to be religious or not, you are not stuck with what the creators belive or wanted. You choose. Then I'm happy that you can choose to reject this crazed man’s offer but I felt a youtube vid will not allow me feel it I have to go through the whole thing and wow. The slow music, the quiet atmosphere, having to hammer each nail in was painfully beautiful. And after the first hammer you can't give up even though given the option, he is already bleeding so you must finish this. I stood looking at his cross after it all that I don't even know if I got paid, nor did I care.
Now at first value from V’s perspective how would I see it? Honestly I don't know. It's massively heretical that a man would try to play as Jesus because that is something very frowned upon, yet this man has done much more and has been more sincere than many who say they follow Christ, leaders alike. Was he sinful or holy? I don't know as who am I a sinful man to judge.
I just hope that man is in the lord’s embrace for the sacrifice he made. Amen
