Does cooking mama have you stabbing people to death? It's not the same.
That was my point
The cathedral is an actual place, and I don't think it's right to just put it in your video games in a not too positive situation without the permission of the people who own it. Yeah, games use real world locations all the time, but just cause it happens all the time doesn't make it any more right.
To be fair, a church is seen as a public building. And you don't need permission for an artistic interpretation. The only thing Sony can do is to perhaps remodel the setting to make it look less like the cathedral. There, everybody's happy.
It's the bigger issue though that annoys me. To the ignorant, the game is set in the modern day, with teenage chavs running around and shooting people on the streets of Manchester as some form of glorification. It's not. The context is one of saving humanity, not of random GTA style killings. In fact, I'd like to see Sony to use the word 'aliens' as many times as they possibly can when communicating with the church and MP's. And when weapons are mentioned they use the proper in-game names, like hedgehog grenade, with a straight face.
