      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.

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

    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.

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

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

      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.

      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.

    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 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.

    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.

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

          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
