Oh nice! Damn, if this was late mid 90s, they would be skewered by the press for this one. Charismatic cult leader piggybacking religion and patriotism will hit a little too close to home for some I imagine​.Zhukov said:For the benefit of anyone who hasn't seen this yet:

I kind of like the idea of shooting myself in the face... Conceptually that is. I don't know if the setting will feel that much like home. I come from a different rural bible place.lacktheknack said:tfw I'm now the enemy in a video game
I don't know how I feel about this.
Don't remind me that STALKER 2 will never happen. It'd be sweet to have an open world FPS set in siberia with interesting and crazy slav weapons. Make the secret weapons some of the batshit Korobov rifles and I'd play it.Arnoxthe1 said:> Far Cry 5

As to the trailer, I'm honestly getting more Resident Evil 4 vibes from this than anything. Maybe a little Bioshock Infinite as well.
Exactly! I mean look at all that Open Space, where is the stealth action happening? Yeah it will be interesting to see where they plan to run with this, hopefully better result than other guy running in the field.The Rogue Wolf said:But does it have towers? I mean, it just isn't a Far Cry game unless it's got towers you have to find and climb! Does Montana even have a lot of towers?
That many? Holy shit, how is it those groups haven't killed each other by now?!altnameJag said:Mate, we've got veins of white nationalists trying to make Montana their white, racist Mecca. Between Neo-Nazis, Soverign Citizens, Anti-Government militias, and general crazies, we've got plenty of fascist analogues to brain.LysanderNemoinis said:While I have no doubt this game will be as blatantly anti-American and/or anti-southern as you can get, there's part of me that nurses the hope the game's about an American liberating his state from Antifa by any means necessary. After all, unlike said fascist thugs, I prefer to take out any anger I may have on one and zeroes rather than innocent people.
And you know Montana isn't even remotely Southern, right? I mean, I live here, so I'd know more than most, but still.
I'm literally going out to buy a popcorn machine.pookie101 said:anyone else gleefully waiting for fox news to latch onto this haha
I'm pointing out how setting Far Cry 5 (or 6? Didn't Primal count?) in rural Montana is itself bait for controversy, what with caricatures(?) of Christian fundamentalists as the antagonists. If it was set in a war-torn Middle Eastern country with somebody like ISIS as the bad guys, the controversy there would be that it's already an all-too-real nightmare for too many people.Omey said:Just stop and think about how many video games have already been made about loonies in the middle east. What makes you think that another game with middle eastern Muslim terrorists as the bad guys is going to be more controversial? That IS the norm. Asking this question is either bait that I caught or you are really really oblivious.Darth_Payn said:And now to address the elephant in the room:
Would it be MORE or LESS controversial to set it somewhere in the Middle East with extremist Muslims as the villains?
That was New Mexico, not Montana. And I will never forgive Hollywood for not giving us the ridiculously great "Primary Enticement Mechanism" thing. I wanted a montage sequence of those. Brits lining up in the fog, a horde of zombies shambling closer, and at the front of the infantry lines, some mad ************ in full Highland regalia with a set of bagpipes, howling out Loch Lomond or something. ANZAC guys doing the Haka, luring a mass of dessicated zeds out of the desert. And of course the Americans setting up in New Mexico, with a bunch of massive speakers blasting The Trooper [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2G5rfPISIwo], how the fuck do you not include that in a movie?iwinatlife said:See when I think Hope, Montana I think of the U.S.'s first great victory in World War Z.

Fourth largest state in the union with only a million people living here. Imagine, say, Japan with less than 1% of the population of Japan.Darth_Payn said:That many? Holy shit, how is it those groups haven't killed each other by now?!
It'll be interesting to see how this shakes out in the gaming community.sagitel said:wellcome to the club matelacktheknack said:tfw I'm now the enemy in a video game

Actually, I'm just kind of interested of what will happen when the inevitable backlash blows up and scores of people saying it's portraying their background in a really skewed, negative manner... I want to see how they will react when people put up statistics about the crimes that white america commits. From racism, xenophobia, homophobia, or just plain greed.altnameJag said:It'll be interesting to see how this shakes out in the gaming community.sagitel said:wellcome to the club matelacktheknack said:tfw I'm now the enemy in a video game

I mean, seeing some caricature of "yourself" as the bad guy might give some gamers a smidgen of empathy for folks who aren't as well represented in general. Could be eye-opening.
Hey, speaking as the "Black Friend", I hope this time will be fleeting for you. It gets old. Soooooo quickly.altnameJag said:Hey, quick note, if anybody needs a Montanan friend so they can say "I have a friend who was born, raised, lives in, and/or loves Montana, and they say these bad guys are okay, so slow your roll SJWs", well, I'm your guy. As a straight, white, Christian cis-male, I don't often have that ability.
