Thanks for the art.
That's no question of any threat. Do you think chinese druglord turned dictator or modern pirates were modern day threat? No. They were videogame antagonists meant to be original. they're not reflecting any "big religion threat". Outlast 2 had no problems showing disturbed doomsday preppers quoting Bible and slaughtering people and kids. Because it's a GAME.
Videogames are videogames. They are not a reflection of reality. they're just here for us to have some fun. So please, don't start the "Who's the worst religion" war.
Very nice artwork. Love the spin on "The last supper"
Yo don't even try to bring in some political bent conspiracy theory into what Ubi is doing or trying to do with this game, lets not even go there, thats a stupid and misguided path to even start to go down. Last thing we need is for this forum to be riddled with political bull$#!+, get enough of that literally EVERYWHERE else....
Guess these are confirmed:
. Lots of FC3/4 guns
. Water towers to climb
. Wolves
. Airplanes
. Beards
I 100% agree. They could have made the group the GOOD GUYS vs the GOV...but no. They demonize Christians, turn them into cultists and drug dealers, and tie them in with preppers and patriots. Ubi has their head up their asses.
On the flip side, there is a P-51 Mustang dog fighting with a sea plane, so how bad *** is that???
Guess I would be a bad guy based on my avatar lol
I see a giant radio antenae in the middle of the image, its more likely we climb those, not the water towers.
A worryingly large number of dupe weapons from FC3/4
Some of you seem to not remember that almost every military shooter in the last 10 years focused on combating islamic terrorism.
Not so short-sighted lmao
its not confirmed we climb the water towers, though admittedly it is highly likely... but don't forget, the compound bow is also now confirmed! thats new...
Seriously... dude, just edit a single post rather than triple posting, it's honestly even easier... And we don't know what the story is with these enemies. I highly doubt they're just militant christians, I'm sure whatever it is will be a highly skewed bastardization of whatever religion they're purporting to represent, but even if they were it's just a videogame. You're jumping to a lot of conclusions as well I feel like. Just because there is an american flag does not necessarily indicate any kind of patriotism, it just solidifies the american setting...but again, I cannot ask enough that we avoid all political talk like that... it will do nothing but devolve the forums into a bickering hen's nest that distracts from what we are actually here to talk about which is the game.
3? I mean, yeah it's lookin' like some repeats, but that was to be expected. Honestly surprised not to see the AK. Maybe that AR is a different model than the P-416 from 3/4? hopefully? Maybe that shotgun isn't the Spaz but instead just a stockless pump action?
That looks like the Scientology Symbol on the flags, GTA5 did this already, Epsilon was the cult , Kifflom was the leader. That's my guess, will half to wait for trailer
You don't like, you don't buy.
Thing is it isn't original. Ubi has been stuck on religious themes for a long time. FC3, FC4, Wildlands, all have strong religion themes almost always in as negative a light as possible. Need to find a new dead horse to beat Ubi.
The religion aspect just helps cement the fictional aspect of the game..xD
I'm not suprised Neogaf posted this thread to criticize it
seeing as they have a thinly veiled alliance with Radical Islam.....in the sense that they will defend Radical Islam, ISIS at any corner
look at the response to the threads in the Manchester thread
What about the word "there" has anything to do with french? It's old english, dutch & german in origin....
before 900; Middle English (adv.), Old English thǣr thēr, cognate with Dutch daar, Old High German dār; akin to Gothic, Old Norse thar
Man I hope this thread gets locked soon....
DOH! haha, forgot i had bolded it in my original post.... thought he was saying it was a french word as well... haha I'm an idiot
I just want this thread to get buried & forgotten, I won't reply in it anymore...
Why not Islam? Why is this political? Because you're projecting pretty damn hard. Is it such a crime to make a game about cults? The Branch Davidians were an actual American Cult. Their leader saw himself as the next-coming of Jesus and it ended with the Waco siege. In fact, the main dude is wearing similar glasses and clothes as Disciples of Christ pastor and Peoples Temple founder Jim Jones ,whose cult ended up killing 918 people. Why not Islam? Because what kind of damn Far Cry game can you make about it? It's never been a competition about what's the most dangerous place on earth. BTW, bringing up random neogaf posters just shows your insecurity.

Oh my god... No matter where you set your game, or who you make the enemy out as, there will always be a contrarian who thinks it's offensive and would rather have it set somewhere else. But the reality is, as a developer you just have to set your mind to one idea, you can't make all games globetrottling games where you get to kill one person of each skin color, and each religion and each preference of potato chips...
This complaint is just silly and I think you know it. I'm excited about the story and I think it has great potential for some colorful christian characters and lunatics that will be memorable like Vaas was (but not Pagan-Min). If you want to kill ISIS members in the next game, then fine, that's a perfectly valid complaint, but to say that this direction is "wrong" because Christians don't commit as many terrorist attacks as Muslim extremists does, is just silly. It's a **** video game. Enjoy it! :D It will be fun, I am willing to bet on it! :)
I think we should be more tolerant and accepting. If Muslims were to complain when they are the enemy faction in a video game, then nobody could make games anymore because not a single setting would be "OK", because there is always someone who is offended by the theme. Now I'm fine with people complaining about stuff they don't like, and I'm glad you're not afraid to do that, but please don't complain about silly stuff. The FC community is above this :) We want GOOD games, not politically correct games, right?! :D So please don't give them a hard time with pathetic complaints when they actually deliver! :D
It may be Christophobic, but What fun would a weak enemy be in a video game?
Pretend a game featured group of French or San Francisco Computer geeks as the enemy.
That would be boring as one group are cheese eating surrender monkeys, and the other spaced out SOMA ravers, both extreme gunophobes.
No correlation with anyone involved here, just sayin.
And it's said the American left are the "snowflakes", but it's the rightists who are outraged by a game concept. I hope the development team pushes it as hard as they possibly can. Call of Duty hasn't gone anywhere; you can shoot as many non-whites as you want in that game.
This game is made for people who know it's a game. No one cares about your politics, or your religion.
Hi Guys, just a reminder about our forum rules http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...1#post12643601
Thanks for understanding
It might better to close the thread... even though the subject matter will keep coming up.
Yeah I agree that it might be best to just shut this thread down. A discussion like this can quickly result in personal insults and people breaking the rules, since many are obviously very sensitive to this issue, and the whole discussion is really just stupid. But hey, at least all this controversy gets FC5 tons of free publicity haha :D Seen quite a few websites bring the same issue up already... But I don't know why they think it's such a good idea lol :)
