I've been looking at photos and videos of Montana, the look of the Mountains and how they connect to the land, the sweeping lakes, the environment in general and I gotta say...
This game has captured none of that to me. It honestly looks like any countryside you could find anywhere in the world.
It doesn't even feel alive or organic...
It feels and looks like it's been put together on a computer.
If you stand still nothing moves, not even the trees.
If you took away the flags and American accents, it would be very easy to believe it isn't even set in America.
Nothing about the design or look of the land feels representative of somewhere like Montana😞
May be you were looking the wrong photos and videos?You are writing like local inhabitant! "Not Montana" Devs even visited Nepal and Tibeth while making FC4, and very possible they visited neighboring Montana! And they definitely know how real rural Montana looks like! They managed to express the atmosphere of the place. Spirit of "country roads". And its more important than all those photos you were enjoying!
