Far Cry 5 Declares Rednecks as 'The Enemy'

[Kurmugeon]

Ha! I wasn't joking about the task or its inherent difficulties.

I was commening on your rather histrionic emotionalism.

Informed, Experienced and Educated threat assessment!

No. Pollyanna pearl-clutching and desperately in need of a fainting couch.

I won't stoop to responding in kind, with my assessment of you personally.

I'll stick to the subject of the OP, as we all should be.

Wow. Sensitive.

I didn't stoop to talking about any assessment of you personally, but rather your reaction to this.

That you have to purposefully mischaracterize that speaks volumes.

Far Cry 5, the 5th installment of the popular videogame franchise, suddenly takes a radical change in direction, putting players in rural America - to fight the evil gun-loving religious right-wing redneck menace™

Awesome. Looks like I'll be getting it.

Funny thing, though....I watched the first trailer twice, and I didn't see any political connotation at all. It's almost as if hateful liberals are, once again, making false connections and extremist injections to push their hate.

But running around murdering people in big cities and beating up prostitutes in Grand theft auto games... that's different.

Yo, get off my game. I'm sooo close to 750,000 kills.

Look...I can play this political interjection game too. In GTA5, when I want to kill a LOT of people, where do you think I go? That's right....I head right to the ghetto. Why? That's really the only place in the game where you can shoot folks, and they shoot back. Does that mean that poor blacks are really gun-toting religious republicans?

Someone who actually has the responsibility of turning the natural state of a child, a feral, uncivilized, self-centered, unpredictable, and ignorant creature, into a solid CITIZEN, would never joke about the difficulties of the task.

What happened to "personal responsibility" and decrying the "nanny state" protections. Now you guys want big gubamint to step in and protect your parenting responsibilities from video games.

They've always only ever been locker room talk to cons.

If Adults want to play such a game, no problem.

It is Games are marketed to adults that often end up being most popular with young people at impresionable ages.

It is the job of the adults in that teen's life to monitor and at least try to guide the child into understanding...

If we never discuss which game's are a hazzard, how can the adults do their jobs?

Far Cry 5 Takes Aim at American Cults and Militias

Well, Shucky Darn and Slop the Chickens - not since Redneck Rampage came out have I seen such a blatantly unsubtle way to brainwash kids with hard-left politics. I guess it wouldn't have stood out as much if they'd just made the Russians the enemy, like everybody else has done umpteen times. Maybe they can have some final twist at the end, where Putin reveals himself like a Man Behind the Curtain.

YEEHAW, everyone - coming to a console near you!

I bet this will be a top seller. In fact, I bet this is one video game the wife may actually like.

Yes, and many of the grandkids favorite movies, like Rogue One, are acceptable for a younger audience, given some guideance and parental explaination.

Some movies and games might seem to be in that group, but you find out too late, that they're not.

So, before mentioning even the possibility of seeing such content, a responsible parent/guardian/caretaker, reads information about the movie/game, including on forums like this one, to get an idea of what to expect, and make an informed decicsion, based on the particular content, the child's needs/limitations/sensitivities/maturity, the parents wishes, the best judgement of the person making the decision (usually Mom!), and the laws in your state.

When all of that is done, if the decision is to allow viewing or game participation, now comes the hard part... the Guidance and Explainations.

You need to know a bunch before hand, so that you can think through HOW to explain it, how much detail to go into, and re-evaluate your decision, should you find, on reflection, you cannot come up with satifactory answers to the questions you KNOW will be asked.

Its called Parenting (and/or Grand Parenting)

The toughest job you'll ever love!

Are red necks some protected class that shouldn't be depicted as bad guys? All types of people can be bad guys and occasionally Hollywood and the video game industry mix it up.

 

[Kurmugeon]

I don't think the OP is suggesting that Rednecks should NEVER be the bad guys.

I think the OP is saying, once again, in this particular new title, Rednecks are once again, as almost always post Obama, being depicted as the bad guys.

Its a problem for parents, to be sure, because its even, or perhaps most often found in places like Minecraft mods, and Hello Kitty Adventure.

From an adult seeking entertainment escape perspective, its is just annoying and trite.

I love "Game of Thrones" because they're all shades of grey. Though Ramsey has to be the worst of the worst of the bizzarely bad... and he's a ... medieval Redneck.

Well, maybe Walda Frey is worse.. but then, he's a medieval Redneck too.

Well, thinking about it, maybe Cersei Lannister is the worst, and she's a hate filled Elitist, Aethist, Progressive who mass murders all of the Methodists.

Red necks are one of the last group of people that can be kicked around and made fun of. If it wasn't for red necks and white guys no one would have a puppy to kick.

Love puppies. Never hurt puppies. People who hurt puppies are evil.

My puppy is staring at me and the screen with horror filled eyes.

She did not know anyone kicked puppies...

Poor thing.

I got dozens of these types of games on my Xbox. White guys definitely make up a minority of the bad guys in them. And the only redneck I can think of is a character you can play in GTA V.

Video game developers don't seem to give a damn about political correctness.

Then you've never played my favorite MMO, ESO. I've never seen a game that is so heavily PC. (its also the game Wow should have become in WotLK!)

Never played it but have seen a bunch of footage of it. What about it is very PC?

 

[Kurmugeon]

Just about everything.

Mind, I'm not complaining, it is the best MMO out there by far.

It has dozens of LGBT couples and Marriages as standard couples with no explainations, no hoopla, just normality.

The lead Bady is a pale male necromancer with delusions of god hood.

The Baddy cult is the Maggot people or the worm cult, pale death undead worshipers.

Orcs are Noble Tribal people (with big muscles and tusks) defending wee green babies.

The Lizzard People are emancipated slaves, who are still Oppressed by the Ashen Skinned Elves.

The primary plot line of the golden elves is a group which calls itself the Hertitage, who are anti-Lizzard, anti-wood elf, extreme biggots who think only golden elves are good enough to live.

The kwelest character in the game is cajun Cat-Man (Khajiit) named Raz (Razumdar) who is a Golden Elf, royal house 007 spy.

The number of stereo typical Progressive Memes is just silly.

But, it is all very well executed from a game play perspective, excellent voice acting (Kate Becksale is the Queen Golden Elf), and the phasing and player character plot progression is by far the best in the industry.

It might be PC, but its also very well done, and it isn't so preachy and fake, you get turned off by it.

The graphics are much better than many similar games, and gameplay is challenging, but not just grinding.

I can't stand PC crap in games. Hell, Paragon where they try to keep the balance between male and female heroes the same is too PC for me. :lol: It's a good game and all, but the PC crap is intolerable.

Well, it is always a balancing game.

And NONE of those games reflect reality, thank the Gods!

Look, it is Cathartic Escape, and that's what it should be!

In the real world, I never want to run around with a three foot razor blade loping off heads.

I can't play games like Clancy's Black Ops, they give me poor sleep and anger issues.

Been there, done that, proud of having done it, but that part of my life is in the past.

I could tell you were such games get it all wrong, and by the time I was done explaining, you'd want everyone in the Federal Govt. arrested and shot.

Spies don't look like Arnold Schwarzenegger, they look like Mrs. Marple or Tom Arnold. None of them are super heros, and none of them have much latitude or free will. You follow the script or you die.

Anyhoo...

I play games to escape, and sometimes to teach or learn. I know they're not reality, so if they want to portray an imagined perfect PC world, I can just laugh at it, just as a laugh at the floating eye balls with tenticle eyes that shoot out deadly magic laser beams, never mind the whole thing could never float, and a power source for those lasers would never fit inside the entire building, much less the ball...

The whole gender balance thing in Paragon is just a ploy to get women to play the game. The female characters are many times awful with stupid ass designs like the pop singer hero that is somehow the sister of a male samurai. They are not even from the same ****ing century in terms of design and somehow they are brother and sister? **** no. Then there is the new female hero called phase which is a just some goth/cutey girl that is somehow a fighter. I'm sorry, but what? How about no.

Have you known any female Marines?

I can assure you, they're Marines first and foremost, and if they're women at all, they'll knock your teeth out for noticing, unless they approach you.

Yes, it is possible to be female and not be a woman.

Treat them with the respect you give any Marine, and you'll get along fine.

I have no interest in knowing manly women, thank you. Any woman that would hit me and wants to be a marine might as well get herself a dick and balls and call herself a dude.

Anyway, did you notice how all female characters in video games have no boobs or hips? Remember that whole fight about big boobs from years ago? God damn, its like every woman in a video game these days is the kind of woman that would need a C section because her hips are too tiny. They keep saying there is more freedom in game design, but these days you are stuck in PC formula where females have be underdeveloped bottom of the gene pool women. Sigh.

Rogue One is rated pg-13 so that's completely different.

You don't get it.

You don't call them by gender, you call them "Marine". That's what they are. The rest, the "Gender", is just superficial hardware minor abnormalities.

They are America's finest Soldiers. And that's enough for me. I'm a nerd. I owe them my life, numerous times.
