they've said it was a cult since the game was known about, people just assumed that because it was in Montana that Ubisoft was secretly *wink wink*we actually mean right-wingers*wink wink*''ing

thats what alot of the negative reviews seem to be mad about. they wanted a game where they could shoot redhats all day and night even though when it never was gonna be like that. waypoint didnt like it because that(buts thats not a loving surprise) neither did slant. alot of journalists seem to think far cry 3 is gonna turn into this uber serious game like 2 was but they never do and then they get mad.

Lets be real, in America the only group of people that are going to be insane Christian cultists are going to be almost entirely white men.

except there have actually been American insane Christian cults that were a lot more diverse than you think

many black and hispanic people are extremely religiously christian so I don't know why you'd think they are less susceptible to joining extreme cults than white people. they'd just be less likely to join a white supremacist cult specifically

most journalists don;t know that. they live in east coast/west coast city blue areas. they think everyone in the rurals is an evil white racist so every cult must be evil white racists too.

its not true in general either theres been lots of journalistic coverage about various extreme American cults that had nothing to do with "all cults being white racists"?

like I don't remember anything like that with the branch davidians or with jonestown or heavens gate with any of the various scandals associated with scientology, all of which have been covered extensively by journalists. what are you talking about?

As a Montanan, the argument is kinda dumb anyway. Our crazies are much more the survivalist and sov-cit type and less crazy religious. The kind of cult they’ve inserted in the game is more like the kind of extremism you’d find in the South/Appalachia.

On top of that, 1/3rd of our ICBM fleet sits in the middle of the state so, I assure you, if some tattooed preacher started an armed uprising there would be more than a faceless sherriff’s deputy on the case.

hosed up thing is with trump in office who the gently caress knows how that poo poo would be handled. after the bundy prosicution failure and the waco gently caress up, plus reacting poorly with jones town, who knows how the gently caress the goverment would react to this kinda poo poo. I mean we let nut jobs like Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints operate entire counties under their thumb.

Yeah that’s my point, Waypoint is dragging the game because it’s not a realistic enough depiction of American extremism because you’re not just dropping white supremacists left and right. I’m saying that’s not really that realistic either.

So I guess I’m arguing for not getting too wound up in FarCry’s politics

waypoint wrote a bunch are articles about how "annoyed" they were that they weren't able to shoot Chuds and poo poo even though the game never made that case. that article says more about austin walker(who i usually like) then it does about far cry 5. he wanted it to be The New Colossus/mafia 3 but with trumpists and it wasn't'. so he is irritated about it.

Because it inevitably leads to people getting banned or threads getting closed cause goons don't know what lines to not cross, I feel like it's getting pretty close to that point already with some posters but they've since backed off or went to work or sleep.

Just chill with the politics behind it all, I highly doubt FC5 will even go that deep into the cult's message and why they're doing what they're doing.

Also, I'm sure by making this post I just self-fulfilled the prophecy. :godwin:

I get your point but on the other hand the story, cult, setting, and supposed politics behind it are kind of the main thing the game brings to the table and are the focus of most coverage and discussion, not just here but in general.

gameplay wise other than the introduction of airplanes and the absence of a few animations, it's the same game we've already played. I'm definitely looking forward to it but I don't really see anything else particularly noteworthy going on in any trailers or reviews.

maybe I missed some bad part of the thread but most of what people are saying here seems fairly reasonable?

Weird. I got my copy but I can't move or do anything. All that happens is that a cop appears on the screen, throws a nazi salute, and then I can shoot him. If I do another cop appears. Apparently this is the entire game?

edit: I get a loot box each time I kill a cop which is cool.
