Far Cry 6 confirmed - Giancarlo Esposito is the villian.

Mafia III is high art.


To add to this some, I think RDR2 and Mafia III make an interesting contrast. I've had Internet arguments where people don't understand why things like getting Karma for killing KKK in RDR2 bothers me, but I like Mafia III. RDR2 casts you as absolute scum - selfish murderers and thieves who don't even do the Robin Hood routine, just steal - but at the same time regularly casts you in the role of some moral superior to 1890s America, that you can destroy people's lives but you're still better than some steamboat waiter who says the nigger word (casino boat mission).

Mafia III has some dumb shit in it - the slave auction is retarded, and the sex slaves are somewhat less retarded - but it doesn't moralize at you. It's pure tribalism.

Mafia 3 is negro worship and nothing more.

Kinda makes sense that you're brown in Venezuela or whatever it was.

DON'T CARE IF IT MAKES SENSE

I'm hoping Gus Fring creates a Tornado Gun, and you have to a use a wingsuit to ride the tornado around the map, blowing up nuclear power generators with a satellite-mounted laserbeam cannon.

Far Cry 6 can have all the grimdark musings on the futility and human costs of war that it wants - just let me ride a tornado around, too.

Based on the trailer, I'd expect a gun that launches CD's and stupid shit like that and not the cool stupid shit like Just Cause just yet. Maybe next game?

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

Wait people are mad you can play as a woman? Female protagonists can be fun tho....Bayonetta, Faith, Velvet, Lara Croft, Samus, Kassandra, etc. Villains can also be done right.

I'm still in awe at the puppy

I'm convinced Ubisoft pulls a bait and switch intentionally, they bait leftists to buy their game at launch because "it's about killing trumpsters man!" then the game really isn't about that at all. Righties see some of the quasi-based stuff after the game launches and then pick it up. I doubt any of the writers care all that much. I doubt they're like ID where you can tell the writers are clearly right wing (praising 2A in interviews, the "transition" and "melting pot" jokes in Doom Eternal, obvious contempt for journalists). Though who knows maybe whoever writes Far Cry see that leftist shit is all hypocrytical since their bosses champion all the lefty shit but apparently treat their staff like trash.

I mean, it was kinda a thing with Watch_Dogs Legion, the trailer made everyone on the left think it was gonna be against "Mean ol' Brexit!" but the game turned out more about fighting a PMC and criminal empire, while the British government essentially took a back a seat, hell even when you learn about the ending it never touches on Brexit.

because it took so long to release at that point brexit was done, any "haha they're so dumb" message would just be sad at that point. remember they then tried to go into the whole "fight the powa!" aspect, but after a year of summer of love everyone was even more over that shit than brexit.

Yeah, that's why I find it so funny that in some co op mode where everyone was just different colors it was impossible, but then in these single player games that require possibly way more work it ain't no thing.

Like, I don't hate Ubisoft like some people (although Far Cry are the only games of theirs I've enjoyed since they killed Splinter Cell) but it's just such obvious pandering.

unity was a mess at launch, consoles are a notorious pain in the ass (the "we can't have holster animations in me3 because it doesn't fit into ram" kind). it was also a retarded hot take by the usual journo shitters for the sake of clicks, asscreed had female chars in coop all the way back to brotherhood, the ONE time they don't because it was more integrated into the story and would have meant new voicelines etc they throw a shitfit. shows how much journalists know about game development.

outside of that, it's a for profit company, and every time player stats were released the amount of people playing as male easily dunked on the amount of females - at some point you have to consider how feasible it is literally having double everything for hardly any gain.

Yeah, turns out women just don't enjoy playing things that let you crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women. It is a uniquely male fantasy, and that's not going to change whether its bashing in Saxon skulls with a daneaxe or gutting dudes with a kukri in Tom Clancy's Gurka Simulator.

Okay, conspiracy theory time: I suspect that there is someone in Ubisoft's writing team, or maybe even a few someones, that are really really based. Every Ubisoft game that comes out has a bit of "problematic" content despite how much they virtue signal leading up to the release. I don't think it's just bad writing, I think its intentional, I think there is a rogue element sneaking pilled ideas and plot points into what SHOULD be completely pozzed experiences.

That's the thing, these games SHOULD be completely fucking pozzed, there's no way a studio as obviously progressive as Ubisoft is would ever "accidentally" imply a girl boss is just as capable of attrocities as a male boss ala Farcry 4. In Division there is this evil criminal character that does murders and tortures and is just completely irredeemable that laments, just before they die during a boss fight "Just another number, huh, just more black blood?" Some absolute mad lad had BLM "woe is me" talking points come out of the mouth of a black character that tortures people to death for fun. A studio run and staffed exclusively by social justice dykes and white male allies could not have created this content, there's a fucking wolf among those sheep I swear to god.

Maybe I'm just reading too far into this stuff, maybe I'm giving the progresso crowd too much credit are they really are owning themselves on accident. If that's the case, it's less rad but still very funny and I'm still looking forward to Farcy 6.

I get the exact same impression you do, especially from Far Cry 5, the whole game seemed like it was stealthily based and it's one of the reasons I really enjoyed Far Cry 5 was because the story was not like I was expecting.

Even the whole meta plot in Assassin's Creed of a corporation wanting world domination seems pretty based these days.

Really looking forward to Far Cry 6, especially as a banana republic is exactly the setting I wanted them to do next.

 

[Anachronistic]

Just Cause 6 is looking good. I wonder why they skipped Just Cause 5?

 

[Ponderous Pillock]

Game looks like it will be the usual, stupid fun sandbox they've been making for a while now.

But what's with the weird "Ubisoft Original" crap? Apeing Netshitz and Amazon?

 

[SiccDicc]

If it doesn't turn out you were used by the CIA and MI6 to destabilize a region they deemed hostile, I'm gonna riot.

Watch Huntley not even show up in Far Cry 6 for some reason.

Expect the french to make their own paid game streaming service soon.

honestly that sounds like a very likely twist , like the main rebel leader guy in the end caps the main character and then talks to his handlers.

Given farcry 5s twist , its likely Ubisoft will pull the "you were in the wrong the whole time" thing again

It's probably going to be a double fake out with the CIA being Aliens and the follow up game to this being about UFO Invasions and Cryptids.

Damn, now this is someone who is tuned into Ubisofts thinking.

I don't think people are mad at being able to play as a woman, they're mad that Ubisoft has decided to implement a bland "choose your gender" choice in every single game because it leads to boring and uninteresting protagonists. No one is going to pretend that Ubisoft's protagonists were incredibly complex and deep characters before, but at least they had flair. Most people would prefer that they choose a dude or a woman for you to play as in a game and write around that.

Far Cry 7 - you play as a La Femme Nikita type in Singapore and Alex Kingston plays the big bad.

Idk that would work....not familiar with the previous locations for each game

 

[albert chan]

Far Cry 6 is what Mafia III could have been, even if with the Haitian drug cartel influence. Problem is Mafia III’s gameplay and plot holes make the game slightly unplayable. They care more about the cutscenes than they did with the action scenes.

At least Far Cry 6 attempts to be ambitious.

 

[Johan Schmidt]

Tone of the first trailer compared to the gameplay trailer is very whiplashy.

Agree with this 100%. Ezio Auditore wasn't exactly the most rounded or deep of characters, he was practically a walking, italian shagging sterotype in the first game but he had character.

Bayek was another. Last of the Magi and a fairly dedicated family man. Depth of a puddle but at least you knew what sort of person he was.

Then you come to the later stuff like in Odessey in which the female protag is the "canonical" one. The one played by barely a quarter of the playerbase according to the supposed metrics. Both her and the brother everyone played were so dull and utterly interchangeable that it didn't matter and most players still picked the dude.

Like, it shouldn't really matter wether the character is a male or female, but unfortunately the simple market is that of gamers being mostly guys, and mass sale games like this it will be one of three/four games the guy will purchase in a year because they'll play an hour or two at the weekend and that's it.

Ubisoft, like many other companies, is just sopping to the tiny, screeching market on twitter despite having all the data telling them otherwise.

As for Dani themselves, eh, she looks like she'd be fun to play as if they gave her some more depth of character.
