this COULD be a pagan min situation, where the villain is actually the most sensible character in the entire game, but i really, really doubt it.
I doubt it. They aren't gonna pull that twist a second time especially when the villain is a religious conservative right wing. That will end up alienating a lot of there target audience,

If they're aiming for accuracy, I hope most enemies are morbidly obese. I just finished shadow warrior 2 and that game felt sometimes hyper kinetic. I need something with slower enemies to play before bed.

There will be rotund kwans hiding behind suspiciously large blades of grass, or, since it's Montana, the cows.

Wonder how much their target audience overlaps with people who actually buy and play games :D

All of this is perhaps what makes Ubisofts’ choice of setting for Far Cry 5 so surprising, it will ultimately use core American values as motivation for what will be considered the enemy of the piece. However, if done well it could provide much needed reflection on U.S. culture that often goes unaddressed in the gaming market. Like it or not, religious extremism, separatism, and hostility to government are all characteristics of groups and ideologies that exist in the modern United States. Often times products of these core founding values are not immune to sinister or violent interpretation. To acknowledge that these exist may not make economic sense to sell a product, but it provides valuable reflection on a topic that many would like to keep suppressed.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
If only there was a good and influential game where separatism, hostility to government, and a myriad of political themes appeared

What suddenly is Far Cry so controversial? I'd rather shoot obese americans than Polynesians or Nepalese or even mutants.

To me Far Cry 5 is total incline.

^If you identify with christians and white supremacists, you'll naturally see this as a direct attack on you. Sadly, some folks in this thread apparently sympathize with those groups.

So it will be the Peoples Temple on steroids. Too bad that was a commie cult.
