I also can't equip the new RPD. It might be because I have the store bought RPD I got with my free 300 credits, because I know people had issues with the Moneda Desert Eagle in the first week if they had the Watchdogs one. The new gloves that buff silenced damage seem cool because that is basically every weapon, but it's hard to give up my robohandsAu Revoir Shosanna posted:Data mining suggests that almost every gun has a 4 star version with max mod slots that will eventually rotate through Lola's store.

Is there ever any explanation of what is an Outcast and what makes a True Yaran? Fascist ideologies need an internal group to project all the nations problems on and scapgoat, and i needs to be specific enough that a board section of the population can know it and know they're not part of it. It can't just be the poor, or orphans or whatever, because again, you need to have poor people that you can trick to think they have a chance when all those nasty unwanted people are gone. Also to feed into your military machine, because what are you going to do, send the rich peoples kids to die? Also i'm kind of sad that i beelined right to the guns because it means I just have the best ones and so i have no reason to not use the best of them. Oh well, I still can't find the drat Mg42 or the regular multiple grenade launcher.

Clara dead, Diego dead, Juan already on the take with the CIA and who knows what other foreign corporate benefactors. Espada, Talia, and Paolo are soldiers and activists, not leaders. Lucky's too old and not interested. It's basically all on Yelena, and it's unclear what kind of loyalty she commands outside of her turf given Clara didn't even know her and La Moral were fighting their own revolution the CIA is going to fold the place up in months

Ubisoft always likes to deal in the aesthetic of real-world politics, but intentionally never commits to holding any coherent ideology. It's all slightly remixed analogy and stage dressing for the much more personal, much dumber stories of a few radical individuals that tend to dominate their narratives. You can say that choice is in itself ideological, but any deeper analysis usually reveals a deeply confused and unsatisfying thematic core, made interesting only by its multiple contradictions rather than the messaging itself.

Sedisp posted:Problem with this kinda wishy-washy messaging is your fans are very stupid. He is very explicitly not a reference to Castro, lmao. In Yara's backstory, there was a prior revolution in the '50s/'60s that resulted in an unnamed form of government (but you can guess they were the communists) that itself eventually got overthrown. Democracy or something happened at some point I guess, and everyone voted in Espinosa, who is the bad president who does bad things. He's called a dictator, but he was literally voted in (Dani mentions voting for him?) and it's not clear how long he's been in power for. FC6 is what happens when you try to tell a political story while attempting to avoid politics and ideology at all costs. The story is an awful mess best left ignored. edit: I think I got the names wrong which makes this post kinda dumb but whatever.

In a hypothetical improbable situation where there's only a singular island on the world manufacturing anti-cancer medication, you can be drat sure what governments will be tripping over themselves to have their secret triple letter agencies try to take control and quell revolutions as much as possible. You'd have Blackwater and co running the drat island.

Lol I did the exact same thing, can't recommend it enough. Also I'm not quite finished the story yet but I've encountered exactly one very brief comment that the '67 revolution was explicitly communist, though nothing about the ideology of the following government. You could argue that it's fairly implicitly communist considering the US embargo and overall alignment with the Soviets though. The CIA is even met with a pretty negative reaction from the player character despite funneling weapons to the revolution so that was a nice surprise. Very mixed and intentionally vague politics overall but no where near as bad as I was expecting.

also did anyone else think there was going to be more going on with El Tigre/Lobo? Like while obviously the official line is that he died heroically in combat isn't true, it seemed to be common knowledge among the rebels that El Tigre killed him, based on NPC dialogue, and of course Lucky tells Dani that, which Dani seems to maybe already know? Then there's that exchange at the bar where those guys are talking to El Tigre and asking him about it and Tigre says something weirdly vague and evasive. And there's a moment where Tigre starts to share something with Dani about Lobo but Dani cuts him off, then of course we never find out anything more. in retrospect I think it was just ambient dialogue triggering too early inadvertently confusing the narrative, and the twist probably was just that Lobo ended up turning heel and had to be put down, but it being left unsaid made me think that maybe Tigre didn't actually kill him and he was like, that old legend who was rotting in prison screaming at Diego or something it would've been kind of hack but honestly I think I just want more legends of 67 content. give me a whole game of that playing as Lobo or something
