| pezus said: Yes, if the likeness caused this much controversy, how much would killing George W. Bush cause? I'm not saying Americans in general can't handle seeing important Americans be killed, I'm saying the media can't. There has to be a reason for them not showing any American murders in AC3 yet. I don't buy the "twist" argument, because by saying there's a twist he revealed it ( that you'll be going from killing Brits to killing 'Mericans) so why not show it now? |
Yeah, basically I think you would get some in the far-Right media (Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly) that would frame this as an Anti-American game made by a French company. Even as someone who skews right of middle, this would piss me off. If this game is framed around the Revolutionary War, then you know there are going to be kills of both sides, it only makes sense. Infact, even if Connor started out killing only Brits, having a twist where you need to go after some corrupt Rebel would make the game much more entertaining. A straight up 'MERKUHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! game would be funny, but I doubt it would have the depth or entertainment value of the previous entries.
I see Ubi just trying to avoid shitty American Publicity as the Revolutionary War means a whole shit load more to us than to the UK.
