I might have to try it since the right is so offended by it.:D That doesn't sound very R of me but that's how I roll y'all.

Oh this is a prepurchase for me. And I never Prepurchase. Gotta get that sweet sweet prepurchase dlc. Maybe a red baseball cap or something. :D

...and if the characters in the game were people IRL, the same people whining about Religious/Race stereotyping would be doing everything to disassociate themselves from this group. .

Trailer is on facebook and boy are some people really triggered by this. Would not be surprised if there was some sort of attack on Ubi development studios. This one is really going to melt some snowflakes.

I'm sure that this one will stir up the far right.:eek::p Shame on those bad Canadians for creating this monster. Trump will have to place a tariff on this game to stop the madness.
PS: Do you think that Liberty U would approve of this game?:p

Haha I love the 3rd comment when I read, "it's an attack on White People".
People can be so fucking weird about games/movies.

People are super weird about White People™. Like how the hell do you go from "This very specific group of people believing in a weird cultish variety of Christianity" to "White People". Last I checked I wasn't part of an insular community doing weird cult things. Do these people believe in a weird apocalyptic narrative enough that they think that this depiction is targeting them?

Oh wait, it's the mirror of how they treat minority groups. Any time any subset of a group can be depicted as bad is a point against the other team. It doesn't matter if an action is hated by the vast majority of that group, their denouncements of that action will be drowned out by demands for a denouncement and disingenuous questions about why their denouncements haven't been heard.

Watch it be some dumbass hot take on Mormons or something though because they can be otherized enough to be "safe".

They'll bust into bathrooms to conduct random gender checks

Maybe off a few medicare recipients on the way to bomb an abortion clinic

In the name oh Jesus of course

Maybe they will turn everyone into LGBTZXYXWEN and eliminate the need for gender checks or have a diversity grenade that turns everyone into the exact same looking and acting person. I wonder if you could be a sniper and shoot anyone in not-so-free speech zones that didn't get hit with a LGBTZXYXWEN diversity grenade strike? I hear that all the wealthy characters will drop wealth redistribution bombs on anyone not inside their gated and walled compounds. In the name of supporting everyone not classified as a Christian or some other combination of labels yet to be determined not cool.

It's May and little late in the year for snowflakes to fall.

Controversial subject matter in the United States. Have to give UBI props for venturing into it given their target demographic.

I hope they add to the authenticity of their fictitious character by playing TBN on the in game tv sets.:eek::D

Congrats to Ubi for tapping a huge built-in market. Ironically, this is from Canada, so if it were about Muslim extremists they'd be risking jail time to make something so defamatory. (Not triggered, just pointing out.)

The really good news for gamers everywhere is that this will likely silence many of the "video games promote violence, intolerance and hate" crowd for awhile.

I mean really, honestly, Far Cry 2 was the last one that was actually interesting based on its subject matter. The rest have been sensationalist trash that I guess try to be satirical by going over the top but fall deep into Poe's Law.

Game manufacturers are fighting back against the intolerant gamer gaters. I am off to find a you tube video

Oh FFS one can only hope that a certain ancient horror of a thread doesn't get necro'ed over this game. Good thing I have a fairly recent cpu and 1070 gpu ready if this is any good I guess.

*e2a*
Maybe they'll provide some DLC where you're a real patriot beset upon by inbred southerners
It's the land of Hospitality unless you don't belong there...

lolololol. I guess a lot of us liberals will be able to blow off some steam ;)
Actually alot of you so called liberals will be able to show how little difference there is between you and brain defective conservatives.
