That was one of the things I liked about the game as well and I liked how Ubisoft clearly did their research, while I've never been to Montana I have been to mountainous rural areas and Hope county reminded me a lot of it, it felt pretty true to life.

And I don't think the idea that the country boys are the real bad guys is set in stone, that's one way of looking at it but I think it's open to interpretation, I just thought the ending was a clever Twilight Zone style twist, not a "you are the real bad guy all along" as the Seeds are definitely still portrayed to be pretty villainous.
A lot of people really struggle with the idea that an antagonist can be correct about something, but continue to be a vile, immoral and irredeemable asshole.

Walking away from Seed and leaving him to live with the guilt was worth New Dawn's asking price alone. He can't even off himself at that point without being denied his faiths reward.
 
Anyone else find your allied characters unlikeable as fuck? There are a few I really like but most of them make me root for Castillo, especially the college kids and the two rappers. Not to mention the woke quota they are trying to hit with "Paolo". Really a shame because the gameplay is so fun.

The characters on the west region didn't annoy me. I'm doing the eastern region now, and all these college fucks suck, the overly flamboyant gay guy annoys me, and I'm very angry they killed off El Tigre in such a bitch ass way.

Speaking of which, I'm noticing a trend of "killing off the masculine leader to put a female in place." now. Not so subtle Ubisoft.

That being said, difficulty has ramped up a lot suddenly on the eastern island. I'm assuming it was supposed to be done last, but I'm kind of liking it.
 
Do any of your actions actually impact the game world this time around? It's always annoyed me how static the world and systems in these games stay despite you constantly taking out leaders, stealing supplies, and capturing bases.
NOOO BUT MUH 100% COMPLETION!
 
I can get the game on PS5 for $45 at my local Walmart, should I go for it?

Do you *really* like Far Cry?

Cause if you just kinda like it you could probably wait another month or two and get it a lot cheaper.

I'm having fun with it, but I really like Far Cry for some reason. Even when they throw a trans rapper at me out of nowhere.

I've enjoyed each title since 3 with the exception of Primal, so I suppose I am a fan of the series.

I think I'll pick it up after work, I've been wanting an FPS experience on the PS5 anyway.
 
Ubisoft is all over the place with the wokeness and basedness in this game.

Castillo flat out says he only promoted the Admiral because she was a woman, and there were far better candidates than her. As if a 3rd world dictator would give a fuck about his military being or looking progressive.

So this statement on it's own makes it sound like there are not a lot of woman in the military if her being a woman was her one reason for getting promoted, but then their "canon" Dani is a woman and former soldier, and like half the soldiers you run across are woman. Not to mention a lot of them are officers on top of it so it isn't even like they keep the women as low ranking mooks.

It really doesn't fit into the world they are creating. There's also an NPC interaction with a woman talking about her wife and a dude talking about his husband. I don't believe for a second a place like Yara accepts gay marriage.

But I found the thing with the woman not being the best choice quite funny because it shows how diversity hires never work out, something Ubisoft itself is guilty of. Don't think that was intentional though.

Ubisoft people are so fucking desperate to be woke that they fuck it up and sound based. No doubt in my mind whoever put that in thought it made Castillo sound bad for being sexist, but instead it just comes off as cold hard truth. Diversity hires never work out.

So Ubisoft is implying that places that allow gay marraige and mandate affirmative action are fascist dictatorships that must be overthrown.
 
Finished the game. I thought the final mission was a cool setpiece that they could have done more with.

For some reason I find it endearing how little of a shit Ubisoft seems to give about the story with these games. I think this was a bigger WTF ending for me than Far Cry 5 honestly.

Oh, and it looks like liberating outposts before finishing the game might be a complete waste of time outside of wanting to level up with this whole insurgency mode thing, but I haven't given it more than a fleeting glance so I may be mistaken on how it works. It sounds like every week, you just lose a whole territory and then complete challenges to get it back?

Insurgency Mode is bugged. It will give you objectives that are impossible to complete because apparently the whole thing is completely randomized.

So basically, it will tell you to liberate an AA gun or checkpoint but the province it tells you to do it in will not have one or either of them.

It's just for weapon skins anyways though.

Edit: Apparently it isn't randomized, there was an insurgency LAST week which is why guides for it are confusing as fuck. Basically Ubisoft expected people to rush through the campaign within 3 days to get to the free post game shit lmfao.

It's also looking like it isn't as bugged as people think and they're simply not exploring the map to find the locations needed to liberate lol.

Sounds like the weekly live events that were in FC5.

Yeah, they're basically that but based around taking back outposts instead of just killing x enemy with x weapon so far. It also makes you do the "special operations" missions, which are just co op missions although they're perfectly doable solo.

I did them specifically because I didn't do any of the outposts and stuff it wanted yet. I could see someone who spent the time to take over all the outposts/checkpoints/AA guns being kind of annoyed by it though. (which I did do in my first region so when it gets there I guess I'll be annoyed)
 
Far Cry 2 was the only one I liked, tbh. I think they should go back to the more morally relativistic/nihilistic tone, and keep parts of the story up to interpretation. It seems like the series is getting progressively stupider, like Saints Row.
