Knowing Ubi, you'd probably play as a Black & Tan

[-] honeynut@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

A black & tan in the occupied six counties and everyone around you will both sides the empire and IRA. The final boss will be Bobby Sands whose body is possessed by the ghost of James Connolly, and afterwards he will thank you for killing him to prevent the assassination of Margaret Thatcher.

It'll be a "moral choice" because "both sides bad" both-sides

[-] edge@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Would be funny, but a Far Cry type game where you play as an IRA member would be great.

I didn't know Ireland was home to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-esque howling mutant apes

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Those are called Anglos

I guess that’s what happens when you don’t have snakes 😬

[-] Barabas@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

They only got to the snake eating gorillas part of the solution, but forgot that winters are too mild to kill them.

could mix some folklore animals in for fun

[-] Moss@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

The local wildlife is squirrels and badgers so most of your time is just spent bumming about on a quad bike in a field

Fake Jerry Adams will personally execute loyalist POWs and I will be in the corner jumping up and down cheering him on.

Also they unironically did this plot in this wierd ass jackie chan movie

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Foreigner_(2017_film)

Including the part about the evil Gerry Adams (played by pierce brosnan)

[-] blobjim@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Peirce Brosnan is the only Brtsh person who looks cool enough to play Gerry Adams.

oh lol 🤦

[-] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That movie was fucking weird. It looked like they changed script halfway through and suddenly you had a Jackie Chan movie rather than the way more interesting Nothern Ireland / IRA movie that the first half was about.

Also when I watched it while visiting my parents, I had to restrain myself from singing the IRA songs, since the movie doesn't really make them out to be the good guys and my parents are mega libs.

[-] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

whenever China co produces with a western country it always gets weird as fuck

Usually the westerners are cocky meatheads and the Chinese characters are like sort of moralistic and preachy. The clashing of the two ideologies usually makes the tone very weird.

[-] WoofWoof91@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

me and some friends watched this for shit movie night a few weeks ago lol
fucking bizarre tone for a Jackie Chan film

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

What if current event that is controversial, but with all of the controversial parts bleached over? galaxy-brain

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is?

Insanity is voting for the exact same fucking thing over and over again, expecting shit to change. That is crazy. But the first time somebody told me that, I don't know, I thought they were bullshitting me so, boom, I drone striked him.

I bet the IRA will be the villains

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

They did this in Peaky Blinders. The IRA was a fascist organization that worked with Oswald Mosley lol

[-] RedCat@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I wanted to continue this show at some point. I was still stuck in S2. Well I guess this interest is out the window now.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Everything went downhill after the Soviets were no longer part of the story, and even then their inclusion was very weak. But yeah, basically Tommy is able to face off against a bunch of brutal thugs with a cold stone face, then he starts crying like a little baby when he encounters Mosley because... his speeches rile up people or something

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

It's a shame the Far Cry games kinda suck and the CEO is a creep. Seriously, it kills any love I'd get playing a shooter where I get wacky animal companions and drugs that give me superpowers.

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I both was frustrated and enjoyed the recent far cry in ~~Cuba~~ Yara. You got to work with the peasantry, communist old guards, and new leftists in turning fascists into bullet-bags with your PPSH to the tune of Living La Vida Loca.

Like as long as I didn't engage my brain and stayed blob-no-thoughts anytime its mealy-mouth lib politics popped up, I enjoyed every second of it.

[-] autumn@reddthat.com 6 points 1 year ago

What kind of Irish animal is this?

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

My prediction:It will be bad

[-] Sinister@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

How about both sides had a point- that will be the game. Also they gonna whitewash it for le anglo-saski.

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

They're gonna cast gus breaking bad as fake evil gerry adams
