Three things. One, there are plenty of games were you fight leftists. Bioshock Infinite comes to mind. Two, in Montana I think we know which end of the spectrum is in control and has guns, which are needed for Far Cry, and it's not left wingers. Three, I was mainly concerned with you actively wanting to kill American left wingers. I mean, I didn't download Bioshock thinking "time to kill some right wing scum." It's just a bit...extreme.

Far Cry 5 Teaser Trailer Welcomes You to Hope, Montana
- Thread starter ffronw
- Start date
Looks like we're progressing from the zombie fad to religious rednecks. Outlast 2 and now Far Cry 5. I'm not saying I'm not interested.
This matches the rumors I found. It's a neat idea and I wonder how they will keep the far cry formula going or if they will bust out of it. My worry is that it might actually feel too much like ghost recon. That game had a kind of bible bent to it.
None of them have talked about wanting to kill conservatives, just that it's interesting to see them as bad guys. Big effing difference.LysanderNemoinis said:
See when I think Hope, Montana I think of the U.S.'s first great victory in World War Z. With a proper Raj Singh Square
Mate, we've got veins of white nationalists trying to make Montana their white, racist Mecca. Between Neo-Nazis, Soverign Citizens, Anti-Government militias, and general crazies, we've got plenty of fascist analogues to brain.LysanderNemoinis said:
And you know Montana isn't even remotely Southern, right? I mean, I live here, so I'd know more than most, but still.

Right, because in video games, you as the player gets to always talk down the bad guys and teach them the error of their ways non-violently. The "bad guys" are the people you as the player kill. Finding it interesting to see X group as the bad guys or to quote an above poster to feel catharsis from having said group as the bad guys implicitly means you're looking forward to killing them in a video game, which makes little effing difference.erttheking said:
I could also make the point that my desire to inflict harm on imaginary members of Antifa is different from left wingers because the majority of liberals are NOT rioting and beating the shit out on innocent people on a regularly basis - they just happen to hold views I don't agree with. A closer equivalent would be liberals looking forward to beating up the twenty or so slack-jawed morons of the Westboro Baptist Church, because the vast majority of people on the right (myself included) hate those assholes too. Between the two groups, you're much more likely to be hurt by some jack-booted, black-masked thug than some toothless bumpkin. And as much as I hate them, to my knowledge the WBC have not actually physically hurt anyone whereas Antifa leaves bloody people wherever they go.
I'm well aware of that. Just using it as a sort of shorthand for anyone that's "country" because no matter where someone happens to be from, the media uses all the same signifiers to impugn them.altnameJag said:
On another subject, I was amused by your using of Mecca, because that's certainly one group of people that is woefully unmentioned as bad guys in most media. Aside from a brief smattering of movies and the first Modern Warfare (where they were the dupes, not the true villains), they don't get much play...which is funny because for all the ways Neo-Nazis and other so-called fascists (even though the Nazis were actually on the left politically) are bad and for all the reasons people on the left hate them, the religion that must not be named is far, FAR worse on every count.
Good thing this is coming out in 2017 (unless it isn't), because if it was coming out in 2018 it would get skullfucked sideways by Red Dead.
Pretty fuckin' far from where I am.Bindal said:
Ah yes. Montana, the most Southern of states. And you just had to make it about those scaaaary antifas, didn't you?LysanderNemoinis said:
I'm waiting for them to show a cutscene and claim that this was an actual incidentpookie101 said:

Now, I confess, I'm not entirely certain what the cutoff point is for a US state to be considered "southern", but I do feel confident in saying that point does not begin at the northern border of the country.
