What’s wrong with fighting the devil?

iI haven't seen any culturally wonky things in the manner you're describing. Fight the devil? Fight St. Peter because he's challenging you, determining how worthy you are? All sounds right on board with Christian theology, really.

I can think of some general oddities, but they're not cultural, most of them.

1. In manamon 2, when the character realizes that no one in Mamia has a phone, he is almost shockingly rude about the whole thing. I mean, some guy just randomly rescued him, and he's all, "Oh, you guys don't have a phone? I'll be going then. Nah, I don't want to stay and enjoy your hospitality. Just...bye." Extremely rude.
2. On a more mechanical level, almost every room in Shades of Doom is made up purely of right angles, and does not appear to be complex (i.e., squares and rectangles predominate).
3. Paladin of the sky deals with a ship that has a druggie hideout, a whole palace for a dude named Burt, a drug factory, a hidden floor, an enormous unused storage room full of ghosts, and plenty of other weird and wonderful places. How does all this exist on one ship? I'm just picturing some security guy going, "Right. Okay, did you check the druggie hideaway for stowaways, Bill? We had problems with it on the last flight."
4. In manamon 1, your character is twelve or so, and yet one of the people in the Manalith Factory says something like, "Your good looks were distracting me". Uh...what?

Well, the ones I pointed out could have something to do with the way I was raised. I spent a good chunk of my life in church. Also, is it just me, or is the hatred of the halflings in Paladin very very similar to what we deal with already? There's something fundamentally wrong with hating someone for being different. That isn't just in a game. That's everywhere. Jade, you have spent quite a lot of time with the stories in these games. Here is a place to share all of your frustrations with things like this.

@Dragomier, that is why it is called crazy party, because you are craaaaaaaazy! .
@Eliza, I wouldn't say games depicting hating someone for being different is something wrong with the game, it's just the way people work. Unfortunately, Paladin of the sky isn't really a great example of that, mostly because the hole dragon halfling business got somewhat dropped, and the idea of humans who are just human vs all these half magical dragons with awesome abilities seems a bit bonkers anyway, (it's pretty clear who'd come out ontop in a war).

Psyco strike's menu system is messed up. Want to go to the bar? You choose it from the menu, done you're teleported there. At least some kind of walking on the street filled with people should have been made. The game had a lot of potential due to it's theme but it has been ruined.

why does hadies in the gate sounds like he needs a drink?
in survive the whild, how can you have a bag that has 100 of every single thing? aww! your character just died do to overweightation. is that even a word?

I still want to know, for the life of me, who is really the evil person in q9.  Is it the alien, or the narrator.  I almost feel like you ended up playing the bad guy because you ended up killing the narrator who only wanted to tell a good story but never could quite get off the ground.  Plus, there's all that animal abuse; have you ever walked around jungles and caves and such clubbing and pelting bears, bats, gorillas, leopards and wolves with rocks?  Doesn't it make you feel just a little ashamed of yourself?

Pierre could be ashamed of his Halfling roots in the same manner that Hittler was ashamed of the fact that he was half Jew himself. Voldemort from Harry Potter could be another good example. He was a Half Blood and yet to him Purebloods were the only wizards worth being or knowing as Dumbledore points out to Harry. I'd bet that not many of his Death Eaters knew the truth about his ancestry. Of course you could argue that maybe they did but just let it slide because to them he was prepared to give them what they wanted.

Speaking of carrying a lot of stuff, have you ever considered that in BK3, and 2 for that matter, you just walk around with a bag full of garbage that steadily piles up? And you can carry this megaton hammer that takes stamina to swing, but... like... you can dead out sprint with it in your hand. Not even a little slowed down. Same with swamp. You've got this huge amount of guns just strapped to your person, but you still take hits, there's nothing in the way? Not even your axe like strapped across your stress? And it doesn't slow you down in the slightest? Where are you keeping these thousands of millions of bullets?

again, lol.
also, in the vail, a blind legend, and ablind sordsmen, how the freekin hell do the people know your blind?

@20 people know you're blind by looking into your eyes. Or by your reputation,  or your actions, behavior, take your pick. There's just lots of ways. If you wear an eye patch over both of your eyes, or you keep them closed all the time then its obvious.

There is a very mean game over screen in gloria union, apparently, that depicts girls getting taken full advantage of by men. For obvious reasons, that sequel to Yvdra union has never been lovalized in the west.

I haven't gotten far enough in pipe 2 to see that.  Isn't there someone in Manamon 1 who says you don't have to fight them, like they have other ideas?
