Okay first of all calm down a little. I didn't mean anything bad with the comment, and I did not I comment on the game itself. I am talking about the way the game is portrayed in the ads that they released. "Everyone can be a solider" that kind of stuff. I never attacked the game itself man, calm down.ThatDarnCoyote said:
I'm guessing they're using a 1940's history book for reference. Main reason colonist rebelled was because the crown wouldn't support westward expansion into Native American lands. Interesting how they'll twist this so the main character isn't helping lay down the ground work for ethnic cleansing, which would later allow for the expansion of slave labor.
Oh well its just a game.

Well, as the original post stated, this game goes through the Treaty of Paris. If I'm inferring correctly here, that means that your protagonist, a half-Mohawk, is gonna spend a game fighting alongside his revolutionary comrades only to be abandoned and kicked to the side after they've officially gotten what they wanted. Sounds like a pretty dark portrayal of the aftermath of the revolution, and I'm all for it.
Jesus H...five pages of whining about the historical inaccuracy of a video game trailer. If you're british and this really pisses you off, you need to do some serious thinking about what you put effort towards. If you're american and you're pandering to the whiners by saying, 'i'm american and i know why you would blah blah blah', you need a damned face punch and a lesson in not being pressured by a crowd.
This kind of a ass backward nonsense from a video game trailer. This, British escapists, is what should be angering you. Not some lamely written line in a two minute trailer.
Are you fucking kidding me? This kind of sociopathic bullshit is ridiculous! You would praise a game for 'slaughtering' a specific demographic? Right, and I'm sure that you're well balanced and have a girlfriend and don't live in your mother's basement.The Cheezy One said:

I really want to like AC3 but the marketing hasn't really been filling me with much enthusiasm. Even as an American I don't enjoy that patriotic revolution garbage. I kind of sympathize with the British as far as the revolution is concerned.
I know I will be hated upon for saying this, but I really root for the British.
The British defended the colonies and then wanted them to pay off their war debt -- the colonies refused to pay and demanded 'freedom'. If someone defends you, colonies, it's not nice to give them the finger right afterwards. Cue Boston Tea Party, etc.
Of course the British did bad things as well, nobody's innocent there -- still, I wouldn't mind if they had won. But oh well, they only 'lost' because the Empire had more dangerous enemies to focus on anyway.

as an american, ive always wondered about the perspective of british people with the revolutionary war, and now i know. as a gamer however, im put off by this trailer, have yet to play any of the ass creeds games yet, and this trailer kinda pushes me away further. Why? If you need to suck someones dick THIS BADLY, your game is probably crap
How, exactly, did he 'win the thread'? All he did was repeat the same stupid line from the trailer that you're all bitching about in a bad attempt at countering my post.j-e-f-f-e-r-s said:
He didn't address anything at all that I said. Let me try again, since apparently my first post wasn't decipherable to you or your awesome, one-liner, thread winner friend.
I said that the historical accuracy in a game trailer is trivial. It wasn't made to be a fucking documentary, and therefore shouldn't really be taken so seriously. Secondly, I addressed the sociopathic comment by one of the previous posters and how it was unbelievable that this type of shit is acceptable to you all while a shittily written script in a game trailer causes all sorts of uproar.
Is that TL
R enough for you?Honestly, though...I should probably save my breath. Immaturity can only be corrected with experience.
It's worth noting that if they had him fighting colonists in the trailer, he'd just look like he was beating the shit out of a bunch of farmers.
Redcoats are a universal symbol of authority and power. Random fucking farmers are not.
Just a thought.
Also: British troops burned down Conner's village. He kind of has beef with them.

I don't mind Britain being the moustache twirling bad guys (Hell that's one of our primary exports) if Ubisoft said that would be the case out the gate, but don't try and pander saying it'll be different shades of grey when quite clearly that isn't the case.
Apart from that, I'm not too bothered about this, except the learning about another country's history line which is too stupid for words. It just reminds me of the Onion video on the kid who flunked Spanish because 'Murricah.

Ubisoft is French, no? So, hundreds of years of animosity and fist-shaking between the French and the Brits, and you guys are expecting them to show their enemy in a positive light in a war where the French helped beat the Brits off? Hahaha! What a fun idea.
Historical snark aside, nice to see they're still not showing much gameplay in their trailers. I guess they took the "well, they already know about stabbing and shooting, let's play up their anachronistic patriotism instead!" I mean, really, it's like a commercial 236 years late. This is the kind of pseudo propaganda that should have played back then to get people on the colonial side. What a useless trailer.

You know, after watching this I think the stormcloaks and the revolutionaries have a lot in common.
I don't know if anyone posted this but time to be a ****.
The American Revolution was over by 1783 when the British abandoned claims to the United States.
The British adopted the Union jack in 1801.
Why was it seen hanging and then dropping from the wall in the court house?

Guys, guys... think about this period historically. The American War of Independence was fought because we Americans believed ourselves to be British and yet weren't extended the same rights and privileges as our fellow Britons. So the American War of Independence wasn't British vs. American it was British vs. British. Just because our governments and other institutions have since that time tried to make us loyal to national identities doesn't mean that we weren't (and indeed aren't) basically the same people.
Boy, if that annoys you I can't imagine how you feel about the American Civil War.Lyri said:

You will not get a single flag of the actual Confederacy.
