Far Cry 6 confirmed - Giancarlo Esposito is the villian.

[Snekposter]

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.

Pretty much. The Mass Effect games were something ridiculous like 83% BroShep. Like why even have a FemShep at that point? Also you forgot Edward Kenway, Dread Pirate, and Arno the Frog, stereotypical but charming ruffian as male characters everyone loved.

If you wanna play a dictator. They invented the Tropico series for that.

Is it any good?

 

[Miller]

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.

It would make sense. Designating a young woman as the face of a rebellion/movement is part of the psychological warfare.

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

I wonder if they have changed the tone after they pushed the release back to the end of 2021.

Depends which one you pick, Tropico 6 is pretty good and can toss some fun challenges with each separate scenario (like say needing to make huge sales on weapons, while the rest of the world try's to constantly invade your island as you sell them a huge amount of guns), 5 and 4 aren't bad despite the former having a super weird plot involving Time travel and the Illuminati.

I wonder if they have changed the tone after they pushed the release back to the end of 2021.

I dunno, it seems like it still has this dark tone from some of the scenes they showed with the torture and some other stuff. Though it could be they made a much serious trailer from the dictator's perspective while from the rebel they wanna give this almost romanticized view.

considering their #metoo thing last year and ubisoft tripping over itself to show everyone how progressive and diverse they are since then, I suspect there are now enough danger hairs in charge to affect development enough (with the companies blessing). would also explain their moved release date.

but we'll see, I hope not but wouldn't be surprised, far cry was still the least pozzed of their franchises...

This was an issue with Far Cry 5 where there was a huge disconnect in tone between the main narrative which was portrayed very seriously while all of the side content as well as side characters were portrayed as over the top and goofy.

I'd expect this to be the standard going forward since Far Cry 5 was apparently the best selling since 3. Which sucks because I'd rather they just stick with one tone. Far Cry 5 was jarring as fuck.

 

[Dom Cruise]

For the DLC they need one where you play as Kurt Russel's Captain Ron.

Also how funny would it be if you could make female Dani fight in a skimpy samba outfit? I wish we could still get stuff like that in games today.

I didn't think it was that jarring, the tone of the series since 3 has always been serious drama with some goofy humor thrown in, in Far Cry 3 one of the main sources of humor was the descriptions of the wildlife and everything on the island you could written by the CIA agent guy, those were very humorous in tone, including a very topical for 2012 "John McCain looking for pork" joke, much like the "Russian pee tape" side mission in 5, also involving the CIA guy.

And while I never beat it, 4 early on has a joke about Pagan Min kidnapping Gordon Ramsey.

5 might have increased the humor but not in a way that I felt wasn't appropriate for Far Cry, the only thing in 5 I did find jarring was the dude you were constantly passing by everywhere playing arcade machines and saying "THIS GAME IS GREAT, YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN LEVELS!" to promote the game's create a level mode in single player, that was annoying.

 

[R.A.E.L.]

Never touched Far Cry and probably won't get this one either but that puppy.

That puppy.

Amazing. Beautiful. Protect him at all costs.

3 had "some" goofy humor dropped in. Almost everything outside of the drab and serious main story missions is goofy humor in Far Cry 5.

I honestly don't know how you couldn't find it jarring going from the guy who brainwashes you to kill the entire militia to Hurks dad who is going on and on about libtards and worried about getting votes in a county that has been forcibly taken over by a religious cult.

Like there are jokes in Far Cry 3, but for the most part the side missions don't feel out of place (outside of Hurk, who has become the worst part of Far Cry as far as I am concerned).

But honestly, it isn't even the goofy parts I had the problem with. I'd rather have had the main story be goofy and over the top like the rest of the game than the other way around even if the side characters kind of annoyed me.

I don't know, I guess this all just a matter of personal taste, but in my view Far Cry is a very heightened reality, hence all the fictional locales, with the closest to a real world place being Montana, but it' still a fictional county.

And just in general it comes off like a heightened reality, so in my opinion the mix of serious and silly is not as big of a tonal clash.

I guess I just have a higher tolerance for goofy humor without it spoiling the drama for me, the Metal Gear Solid games have all sorts of goofy humor, especially 3, doesn't lessen the impact of the drama at all though.

Far Cry 6 Won't Offer Map Editor, Arcade Mode Not Returning For Future Games

Maybe they are going to go more serious after all (outside of goofy weapons made of garbage I guess) since they seem focused on pushing how this is a guerrilla revolution and it's totally, definitely political.

Good! Like I said, that "THIS GAME IS GREAT, YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN LEVELS!" dude was so annoying.

One down, now if they just get rid of Hurk and his family I'll be happy.

It kind of sucks they are getting rid of the map editor as it's been a staple since at least 2. (was it in the original? I can't remember) but at the same time every time I tried to play created maps nobody was ever playing them in any of the games I tried it in. Including 5. I don't know if that was just a PC issue or what but it never seemed as popular as people made it out to be.

I'd rather they focus on the campaign.

I don't know if it was in the PC original, but the 2005 Xbox release had a level creator (which was the first Far Cry I played)

It's a neat idea in theory but it's best that they just focus on the campaign.

FC5 is interesting so far. I'm essentially going Charlie's Angels with Grace and the granddaughter with the bow whos name i forget.

It's very easy to die in game. The mission where you have to blow up the trucks in the north south east west etc is the worst. I had trouble even when you have to go to gas station and get back the vehicle. Took forever even tho vehicle simply circles around.

I got captured once and met the black guy. I got captured again but turned it off bc dinner lmao. Is this....normal? They hit you with a poison dart or something.

And the two ppl with the aircraft. The blonde lady and the other guy with the pregnant wife, they don't get out of planes? Kinda lame and its worse when they say they can't fire in certain areas.

Is there an easy way to summon vehicles or do you have to keep finding shops instead to get them?

 

[Miller]

Hurk comes with his armed truck if I'm not mistaken. If not, then you have to fast travel to a place where you can order a vehicle to spawn.

Once you reach a certain level in an area, the game takes you out of the fun you were having because it's time for the main story.

The funny part, if you get rescued by the priest before liberating the town, it will be already liberated without you.

Yes, it's normal and one of the most complained parts about the game. Once you complete a certain number of missions/side objectives they come and capture you. Grinds the game down to a halt and happens multiple times in the game. It's basically a way to force you to continue the story instead of just doing side content only.

I do not believe the airplane guy ever gets out of his plane, he just provides air support. I feel like the the chick can get out of the helicopter but it involves some shenanigans. I might be wrong on that though I haven't play FC5 in a while.
