It should be known, the testy festy side quest was not made up purely for comedic effect, it legitimately is an actual event that used to happen in Montana (among other states), and they really leaned into it and played it up for laughs, but it's based on an actual festival.
My wish remains iteration on the primary gameplay mechanics of shooting, takedowns and navigation as well as the introduction of new weaponry beyond the make-shift stuff they've mentioned. Lets get some SCARs, G36's and / or USAS-12's up in this thang...

It is universally accepted that Far Cry 5 is nihilistic and depressing, particularly the game's endings. No other Far Cry game can match Far Cry 5's level of nihilism. Ubisoft made sure the locale and culture in each Far Cry setting is true to its real life counterpart. Far Cry 2 is aimed at staying true to an African civil war, Far Cry 3's heavy emphasis on human trafficking in the pacific islands. Far Cry 4 taking place in the Himalayas based on Nepal with an oppressive government and dangerous rebels. Far Cry 5 is located in Montana and the Testicle Festival is true to Montana culture, which is likely to be found highly bizarre in other US states such as California and New York.Originally Posted by ApostolizApo Go to original post
Second, Joseph Seed is portrayed to be an extremely delusional psychopath. I don't find any scene with Joseph Seed to be comedic at all and the cutscene of him seen in Jacob's region is meant to reveal how much of a disturbed human being he has become. Like Vaas, Hoyt and the twins, he's supposed to be someone you would 'love to hate'.

There seems to be a tendency to have us either hate the villain or like him, and in a way you really want to spare his life.
It may be only me but while I wanted to make Vaas, Hoyt, the twins and part of the Seed Family pay for what they did, I felt bad for Pagan and Joseph. I spared those two with pleasure, and had great pleasure meeting Joseph off his warpath in New Dawn.
SPOILERS for FC New Dawn:
I could not even remotely consider to kill him after stopping his son. He was just too miserable. So yeah, definitely two kinds of villains. In the same way, in Primal I wanted to see the fire tribe leader die while I felt horrible for having the udam leader die in my hands while explaining they only fought to survive and try not to get extinct. A very interesting villain for a less talked about Far cry Game.
Yet since we are in the "wishlist" topic, I ll ask for a wish: when are we finally going to get a glimpse at Far Cry 6 gameplay? The wait is killing me. How could they announce such game without even a 1min long gameplay trailer?

Pagan Min is simply a misunderstood villain. Far Cry villains are known to bring suffering to many, especially with their questionable methods. It all depends on perspective. It makes sense to spare Pagan Min if you're only looking through the eyes of Ajay Ghale. If you're looking at it through the eyes of Noore, Sabal and Amita, it doesn't make sense at all. To them, Pagan Min is a monster who deserves to die and has no redemption whatsoever. Joseph Seed is definitely a monster to anyone outside of his own cult. His character evolved in New Dawn, and he understands how much suffering he had caused. However, he knows that there's no redemption to it. There was this one streamer who straight up hates Joseph Seed and shot him in New Dawn no questions asked. She even wasted all of her ammo from all four weapons she carried shooting at Joseph's lifeless body.
As for Far Cry 6, I believe he's more noble than any Far Cry villain before him. He wants his country to return to the paradise it once was, but his methods are questionable. He made it very clear that the people hate him and are throwing out the words monster and evil. When he revealed the writing on the grenade, his motivation has been made crystal clear. Even if he has the best intentions for his own people, the very same people want to see him and his family dead. The only villain we can compare him to is Pagan Min, but the differences between them is quite the contrast. Pagan doesn't have the best intentions for Kyrat since he is power hungry from the beginning. Pagan's only goal in Far Cry 4 is to pass his power to his stepson Ajay Ghale and then retire. Compared to Far Cry 6, Antón Castillo knows his days are numbered and he's expecting his son to take up the mantle.

Anton Castillo to me is perhaps a villain that could be as good as Vaas. To me he seems to have a more deep down to earth personality and greater sense of seriousness, and like with what KrayZee said, his methods are questionable similar to Pagan Min, but he does it for the sake of the country rather for himself. He knows he will lose power or his life from the people, and he knows his son may be the key to carrying out his legacy or at least doing what Anton would have been unable to do. I'm not sure how much he cares deep down for Diego, because part of me wants to think he sees him as an asset for his legacy, receiving power and nothing more.
Far Cry 6 could possibly bring back the old FC1/FC2 style dark atmosphere and bring back a sense of realism (That is if they decide to get rid of Hurk or reduce him to a cameo).
Far Cry 5 didn't sit well with me because the game's dialogue and humor was heavily forced and tried WAY too hard to be funny. The self-awareness jokes were unfunny, some characters sounded very forced in various parts, and the excessive and unnecessary swearing made me want to turn the voices off. The references to pop culture they made was poor in delivery and way too obvious, etc. Although Far Cry 5 had some positive points regarding aspects of seriousness in atmosphere, it all just felt like some low budget drama/action movie in my humble honest opinion, especially when it got so repetitive when NPCs spoke to you about being the hero and "don't join Eden's gate" and "join sinner!". (This is one of the reasons Far Cry 3 and 4 became more enjoyable for me after Far Cry 5's release)
On another note - If tanks are gonna be a new Far Cry vehicle, they might as well include more types of military vehicles since this is a country's armed forces consisting of Air Force, Army and Navy (Hopefully with a People's militia or Special Forces)
One wish on my list is some gameplay! I'm getting quite impatient since the only 2 trailers we got of the game was from 2 and a half months ago

Exactly !!!!!!!!!! If English were my native language, thats what I would have wrote when I said that FC5 was some kind of comedy to me. Even if there were serius / drama moments , jokes about diabetic bears and failed movie makers in a middle of a world/civilasation collapse completly ruined the effort (if there was any) to create some kind of an atmosphere/mood. Anyway , whats done is done , I hope everybody is well and safe and we all enjoy a FC6 experience in a few months.Far Cry 5 didn't sit well with me because the game's dialogue and humor was heavily forced and tried WAY too hard to be funny.

The satire seen in Far Cry 5 seems to be directly mocking American culture, particularly flyover states. Plus the 2016 election is likely to be the driving force why Far Cry 5 is set in the United States to begin with. The news of the Oregon standoff in 2016 is also another influence and the history of religious doomsday cults such as the one lead by David Koresh.
When I first saw Far Cry 6's villain, I immediately thought of Saddam Hussein. The way Antón Castillo's statue is designed and the way it collapsed made me realize I'm correct. In fact, the statue in Far Cry 6 is exactly like the one seen in Iraq and it collapsed exactly the way it collapsed in real life in 2003. The only differences is that Anton is raising his other arm and there's no flag on his face. The most obvious comparison we can compare Far Cry 6 to is the Cuban Revolution, but it seems like Ubisoft is using more historical references when designing Far Cry 6. The downfall of Hussein was originally thought to make Iraq a better place, but in reality it made it worse. When Pagan Min loses power, we would see how Amita or Sabal turn Kyrat in their own vision. We then realize Kyrat is better off under Pagan's rule.
Since the CIA plays a big role in Far Cry 1, Instincts, Evolution, 3 and 4, I believe the CIA will play an even bigger role in Far Cry 6 because of their history in Cuba. Although I'd rather have new characters from the CIA than see Willis Huntley again. I personally think Doyle from Far Cry Instincts and Far Cry Instincts Evolution is a much better CIA character than Willis and his own Far Cry 1 counterpart. I would love to see the main protagonist being supplied by the CIA later in the game than have another mention of an arms dealer as seen in Far Cry 2 and 4. I don't want anymore religious gun fanatics.

I don't think it's ever coming back. For every new game they release, they choose to make each game more user friendly than the last. Second, I am positive that they are more interested in designing a 3D map than a flat 2D one.Originally Posted by Viragoxv535 Go to original post
