Poll: Assassin's Creed III : Will there be butthurt ?

Well, Ubisoft is a French company, with the multiplayer being made in Canada. I'm pretty sure they will DESTROY the US propaganda machine with this game. People will try to destroy it for that reason.
I just want this to be the end. I am getting fatigued of Assassin's Creed. I want a new IP. A new thing to explore.

I'm feeling exactly the same way. As a Brit, I can get a bit over-defensive (and probably will, try to filter out the patriotism from this post), but I can easily see the buck-toothed baby-killing British Redcoats being overwhelmed by the pure awesomeness of the freedom loving Americans.jim1398 said:
One thing that interests me is that, according to Wikipedia, "The player takes on the role of a young half-English, half-Mohawk man named Connor (also known by his birth name, Ratohnhaké:ton)". Then why is the cover art him hacking at a redcoat? And of course, the stars and stripes flutter bravely in the breeze behind him.
I do expect more from Ubisoft than the typical pandering to America, so I'll be disappointed if thats what we get. On the otherhand, when we eventually play as a Brit (Victorian, WW1, WW2, so many options), I'm going to declare it the greatest thing ever before it's released. Ah well, at least I know I'm a hypocrit.
yes, yes there most certainly will be butthurt.
either the whole thing will be the usual brainless america-fuck-yeah masturbation propaganda, and everyone will be butthurt.
or it will take an ambiguous stand with good guys and villains spread across the fronts, and americans will be butthurt for the violation of their well polished and oversensitive sense of patriotism.
either way, butts will be hurt.

The potential for butthurt is there. I was surprised there wasn't more outcry about the other ACs. First one was in the Middle East (that alone could cause some "problems") where you were often against the British, though many Chrisians tend to sweep the Crusades under the rug whenever the discussion of religion promoting deadly conflicts in history comes (or admit that the Crusades were bad, but everything else in history post New Testament is cool). I heard of a few people being against having the main antagonist in AC2 be the pope at the time, but nothing bad (and at least a few Catholics make note that he wasn't a nice dude in real life either). Other than whole violence schtick, I haven't herd too much from the franchise period.
As for the American Revolution, it depends what they do with it. I guess I'm in the minority that thinks going to the American Revolution is a GOOD thing and could really bring the story full circle if they play their cards right. Lots of potential, especially if they close the franchise there (oh please let it be so). Will there be butthurt? Perhaps, though we need to learn more about how they're going to set up their history. Who knows, maybe they can spin a story about how the French and Canadians are poisoning the youth of America to turn against their country. Damn them Candians. Damn us good.

Anyway yeah, they've been working on this one since 2 so that's a fair production time. If done right the setting change will allow for a good mix of new and old styles, with the new obviously being the frontier. I really want good environment interaction with the trees and landscape. I've heard they're making the combat all about staying mobile now too, which if fighting people with guns makes sense. You can't counter a bullet.
Idea: How awesome would it be to grab a guy, spin around so he's between you and the other guy with a gun, the other guy shoots the guy you grabbed, then you leap on him while he tries reloading.
Oh hell yes. The first game drummed up controversy, and that was about the freaking Crusades. Now we're going to have some of the most important people in American history? Especially when the devs specifically say they're going to try and portray them as actual people? Prepare for epic yelling.
I mean, my God, the founders of my country were flawed! They had stupid and outright bad ideas! They were - *gasp* - HUMAN! Blasphemy!

It exists, therefore there will be butthurt.
More specifically, there will be butthurt because-
1. It's a sequel
(1.A. It's a sequel to a now-yearly franchise)
2. It will have multiplayer
3. It's published by Ubisoft
4. It's set in Amurrica (and somehow everything set in Amurrica is propaganda)
5. People will be annoyed at the hype
6. It won't live up to people's expectations
7. It will have some kind of DRM
8. The "formula" will be "stale".
9. This is the internet
10. People want to feel like they're cool
11. And some of this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_polarization]

Normal Americans won't care if Washington is portrayed poorly but Fox News will probs flip shit.
Probably. If the Americans aren't all saint's the fox news and some conservatives will be butthurt. If they are saint's and the British are all evil (which seem's more likely to me) then the English will be Butthurt. Either way the French win. Hopefully though it'll end up like assassins creed 1 where all sides were equal asshole's.
You're asking if Faux News will overlook an excuse to rage over a game? No. No they will not. Much butthurt will be had.
But seriously, WHO WAS REVOLUTION?

I'm going to be offended at the fact that I will probably be playing as a yank, who is killing Brits... -1 for attraction to the game for me! I don't want to imagine I am killing my own damn ancestory!
Technically you'd be a half Brit half Native killing your ancestors. Just sayin.Elementary - Dear Watson said:I'm going to be offended at the fact that I will probably be playing as a yank, who is killing Brits... -1 for attraction to the game for me!
