[Alkastelca]

Yes they are.

Say what now ?


As much as ISIS is muslim.



Also some posts here are just disturbing.

 

[Lionel Richie]

what if it's a gay male protagonist?

Hey I hadn't thought about that but that would be fucking awesome. Do it Ubi.

Blowing up children in an Ariana Grande concert?

Kind of yeah but that's by the same people who did the whole selling children as sex slaves thing so sadly that's hardly surprising.

Shark Adrenaline and i love it!

A conservative's persecution complex knows no bounds.

Liberal-GAF strikes again

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Okay, now make our lawman protagonist brown or black.

For maximum controversy.

Or go for a twofer and also make them gay.

OR

Make our protagonist a woman. Of color. That's a lesbian.

What specifically do you not like about the keyart?

Yeah.. fair point. They're both probably up there for worst crimes against humanity. Children should be spared from whatever agenda these ... ummm.... people... have going on.

If a game EVER included either of these kinds of things, I'd be first in line to make an issue out of it.

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

Kinda sad when people say this looks like Far Cry when Far Cry used to be something different...

You might say it's a...far cry from the usual eh?

Sadly lots of insecure people in the US will find that a game about crazy religious fanatics who are a) from the US and b) Christians will bite a little too close to home. I predict massive outrage. It won't be justified but there will probably be outrage.

 

[Kinyou]

What if the villain was a closeted gay?

I believe that's a twist progressives would actually be more bothered by than conservatives. The possibility that the Far Cry 4 villain might be gay sparked some real concerns back then.

Don't mind it really but I knew the GAF community would love it because of the subject matter. Very predictable.

 

[LiquidSword]

Progressives definitely are putting them in the bucket. Just like the Conservatives are putting all the Progressives in a bucket. Anyone who has actually been paying attention to the political and cultural shift of the United States over that last decade should be able to see the partisan divide that has slowly widened over that time span. It's unproductive and idiotic. Most people are either Republican or Democrat over one or two major issues, then adopting some of the other issues from those platforms that they agree with but don't really overtly concern themselves with. Both sides also assume that the entire "oppoosing" side agrees with every single element of their own party. The media and the internet echo chambers enable this faulty line of thinking and the divide widens.

Sorry but the Bundy's proves this wrong. You are just saying "both sides!" The Bundy's held federal agents at gunpoint and then a couple years later took over a government building and terrorized a town in Oregon. Fox News, AM radio, right wing news sites and papers all had stories calling these people heroes or wrote puff pieces about how they are just good Americans who have had enough. Elected officials (guess what party) even defended what amounts to a terrorist organization. Get back to me when the left defends violent racist terrorists on a massive scale.

God that "controversy" was so fucking dumb.

HE MUST BE GAY BECAUSE HE IS WEARING PINK!

Theodore Robert Bundy (born Theodore Robert Cowell; November 24, 1946 – January 24, 1989)

Yes, particularly relevant to the last decade of politics. I see the error of my ways. I must be an idiot.

What do you hope to accomplish here? Either make an argument or don't. You just look like a kid trying to run his mouth to prove he can.

Thanks, someone has to. Non-partisan is the way to go, open-mindedness for all.

You mean in today's day and age there will be...*applies shocked face**...outrage?! The entire world is outrage culture. It's been a daily thing for years now. Everything is offensive and everyone is crying over it. If you replaced US and Christians with any other 2 combination, guess what will happen? Outrage.

Plus, people are assuming Christians so far. It could just be a cult that started their own religion with blackjack and hookers. For all we know, this game is about WWE fan's of CM Punk.

Unless you're making a joke that I can't figure out through text on a screen.

I was. http://time.com/4486502/hillary-clinton-basket-of-deplorables-transcript/

Yeah that would probably suck. "Closeted, self-hating gay" is a pretty ugly trope that's been with us for a long time. And the idea that homophobia would go away if people were just honest with themselves is nonsense. Lots of homophobes simply hate gay people, there's no Hidden Secret Of Their Heart that makes them do that, they're just out here making choices.

Farewell, sausage

Well that's Ted Bundy the serial killer. Lol You are looking for Cliven Bundy and Ammon Bundy and their family

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Yep, those are white people alright.

The protagonist should be black and basically turn this into Get Out: The Game.

 

[Enduin]

Yeah I imagined he was talking about proximity/immediacy rather than magnitude. I asked because nowadays I'm currently finding myself perplexed with how cruel some people are, so maybe I was missing something that would be worse than selling children as sex slaves.

I mean we have serious sex trafficking issues in the US without any kind of ISIS presence. And there are no shortage of fundamentalist religious sects, even major religious organization, that more than dabble in underage brides and the sexual exploitation of minors, though they're hardly the only ones engaging in that sort of stuff sadly. It might not be on the scale or as institutionalized as what ISIS has going on but it's far from a minor occurrence. It's a huge dirty secret, among many, that most people turn a blind eye to, if they even know of it, and when similar instances occur elsewhere in the world they thank God it doesn't happen in their community, when it really does.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

So this is a redneck theme?

 

[Con_Smith]

Playable character is black please! I need another game like Mafia 3 to help with my economic anxiety.

 

[PhantomThief]

You must be new.

Well I read the TOS so I'm glad I lasted longer than this guy!

 

[Beckx]

if there's an outcry, Ubisoft can just return Rainbow Six to roots of fighting evil vegan environmentalists

Guys, Nazism regurarly killed children, yet at every reveal of a WWII game there is ALWAYS people asking "Why can't I play as a nazi?".

 

[Aces&Eights]

This is hilarious.

They just have to rename the game "Not-so-Far Cry" and everything is ok.

Yeah I was afraid of something like that, reading about what this kind of people do makes it clear they absolutely would do something like that. How low can we go goddamn.

 

[R0ckman]

I wish more devs would use these types of factions as subject matter. Its a gold mind for hilarity. You got everything you need; the grunts are your far-right bubble puppets and cult groups, the bosses are your charismatic corrupted officials. Add in a thug police force and you're good to go, the game pratically builds itself.

 

[sjay1994]

Honestly, while the setting is intruiging

I really want there to be some kind of gameplay shake up to far cry

I enjoyed the formula in 3 and 4... but primal despite minor changes was pushing it for me

And I couldn't even bother to play past 3 hours of Horizon.

 

[veloxStrix]

Well that's Ted Bundy the serial killer. Lol You are looking for Cliven Bundy and Ammon Bundy and their family

That's actually my bad. I completely forgot about the 2014 Bundy. I don't think that's a good comparison though, for a number of reasons. The Oregon standoff didn't result in any deaths and Conservative news (the only one that I barely pay attention to is Fox) generally turned their back on him after his statements about slavery. It's hard for me to consider that they were an organization on a "massive scale" as well.

Actually, looking back at my posts, I'm not sure exactly what I'm even arguing this for. My point was that Conservatives and Progressives point fingers and assume the entirety of each side agrees with every single thing their party does. Your post providing evidence against that is literally evidence for my argument.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Well that's Ted Bundy the serial killer. Lol You are looking for Cliven Bundy and Ammon Bundy and their family

He's not wrong though. Ted Bundy probably hasn't been relevant in politics in decades!

These images really have me interested though. I feel like they could go many different routes with story and characters. It is that fun time in the game cycle where you have a little bit of info and then your brain loves to fill in the blanks with all the cool possibilities!

 

[Dufoos]

This looks really interesting. Full reveal this Friday?

 

[breakfuss]

Lmfaaaao this looks amazing. You've got my attention. Loved FC3...not so much FC4.

But the story is amazing in Horizon, as is tje combat against giant robots. 3 hours in you really haven't seen jack shit.

Horizon is nothing like a run of the mill checklist sort of affair.

Not to imply that Far Cry 3 or 4 felt like checklist affairs, but I totally understand you being tired of the same formula since the third game.

But please do check out Horizon some more bud

 

[xVaalbarAx]

I'm intrigued. Want to see some gameplay now
