No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

*ed* whoa wrong thread.

But I am looking forward to Far Cry 5!

As long as the bow is still good and fun to use its more than well worth it to me. No games get the "feel" of a bow as solid as fun as Far Cry does.

I’m sad it looks like one gun and a sidearm. And the bow isn’t a sidearm.

You can carry 3 weapons and a side arm with upgrades. I think it’s three — right now I have 2 full-sized weapons(bow, AR) and a pistol

Does it have a sense of humour like 4? I felt what it lacked in story it made up for with Pagan Min's dialogue and some comical characters. I just watched the opening scene and it was very dry.

Yeah isn't it usually like 1 main weapon and pistol, other 2 you gotta hunt XYZ for skins to upgrade your pouches?

The one thing that really sells me on this game is the look. I live in Ontario and I know the game's set in Montana, but I have always lived in small towns all my life, and small towns are small towns no matter where you are. I see a lot of "familiar" style sights in this game that I rarely see in games in general cause its always exotic or fantasy or sci fi locations and I super dig it.

I just read it releases at 8PM PST on the 26th, so 10 CST and 11 EST.

Steam currently says it will unlock in 20 hours so I think this is correct.

Apparently ubisoft making two different release times based on distribution platform is a thing now.

I agree but I can think of no other reason this was done other than to avoid offending potential alt right dollars.

This triple A first person shooter in development before Trump was created to avoid offending a political movement that didn't exist.

Hmm yes after a game is in development it is impossible to change.

I mean Montana has a massive black population of .41 percent so it makes sense that a militant Christian cult has a diverse group of followers.

No it probably wasn't and it's not really a conspiracy so much as altering a game to make the message less "controversial" due to a change on political climate.

Or they could have made a traditionally white orginization in a nearly entirely white state and made them diverse for...... reasons.

They could have made it clearly a Trump and white supremacist based cult and enjoyed news stories, magazine articles, and loads of free press and bigger sales as a result.

They didn’t.

I know it’s tempting to say “They’re making/avoiding a political statement, argh!” But it’s fine, let it go.

What odds can I get that at least one American review will bemoan the fact that, unlike previous far cry games, this one isn’t set in an “exotic” location, conveniently forgetting that the majority of gamers aren’t American?

Even within the context of America, this isn't a particularly exotic locale though. I mean there are better, more interesting place they could have shown off, like the Mojave in New Vegas.

I mean let's be real here. America has a lot of unique things about it but Montana isn't one of them. That and all our unique animals come in browns greys and blacks.

Here's an American big cat.



Here's one in Mexico.



One of those looks radder than the other.

American animals are what happens when God's inkjet is running low.

Already said it likely was changed during development gently caress the only review in this thread mentions the exact same thing.

I don't know who lumpy is or what concern trolling is. Sounds made up.

Since Assassins Creed Unity Ubisoft have had male and female enemies across a range of ethnicities, there's no indication that they've suddenly changed this because of the alt right's influence.

You're expressing actual, genuine anger at the fact a company have a diverse cast - and you're blaming this on racists. That's staggeringly naive or deliberately obtuse.

Were you one of those weirdos up in arms about black women in the recent Call of Duty?

Uhhh if you're getting anger out of these posts you're projecting hardcore. generic enemies that have no personality beyond shootting them are not a cast my dude.

You'll notice I'm not complaining about any of the protagonists are not white or that you can make a non white character. I'm not white after all. But i do find it pretty weird that its only okay to have the badguys be uniform in ethnicity when they're not a problem thats largely a white people thing.

Yes. You can select enemies through your camera/binoculars and then give the kill order.
Same with the dog attack. The dog attacks aren't stealthy like in mgs5 though, keep that in mind.
