I'm conflicted on this one. On one hand, I like the Far Cry games and rural Montana seems like a novel and interesting place to take the series rather than just Anonymized Foreign Country, but on the other, I hate the idea of spineless little would-be Nazi punchers getting to enact a power fantasy based on the idea that everyone who voted differently from you deserves to die
It's silly to fret about what other people enjoy pretending in their games.

it would be interesting if you had to kill LESS characters in general and more firefights where maybe you just gotta drive em off or something i dunno more cinematic movie like

this is a complaint for all video games you are a one man killing army literally death incarnate in the game and then in the cut scenes you are some bitch who wont even sacrifice his friends and girlfriend to the snake god
Yeah, this is an issue in a lot of different games - enemies are always fearless fanatics who charge in heedlessly after you've casually executed all their compatriots.

Of course, if you wanted to make demoralizing and driving them off a goal instead of outright killing them, you couldn't really have them drop goodies when they die.

I'm thinking mostly of the slew of games journalism articles that will inevitably say this is a capital-I Important Game for the Trump Age, coming from the game series where you literally look at your bloody hands and say "what have I become" in one scene
So just roll your eyes a little and move on. :shrug:

I hope this becomes a hot trend and we see new woke games like Assassins Creed: Punch Nazis
They had that! It was called the Saboteur, and it was pretty darn good. More GTA than Assassin's Creed, though.

so many people getting triggered by a dumb game lol
Is anyone actually bent out of shape about it? I've heard a lot of people anticipating controversy, but no actual controversy yet. Unless that one femfrequency tweet counts.

Its mostly people jerking off about how many white Trump Supports/Redpills they are going to be killing.
Oh, sure, but that's not getting triggered, that's just somewhat distasteful anticipation.

Are they? I mean, I wouldn't be especially surprised, but I haven't actually seen any response, just people expecting one.

Us Gamers have had to endure a lot of crap over the last few years. The targeted harassment by the mainstream press through Gamergate, the terrible launch and outright lies of highly anticpated video games, the outright censorship of art through “localization” policies, the continued rejection of romantic partners when they find out our hobby, the appropriation of our culture by so-called “gamers” on twitter. NO MORE!
Somehow I don't think this is intended sincerely.
