NO [I could care less about the SJWs' bs]
YES [I love paying for games ruined by SJWs]
My bad, I had another post relating to this topic but it didn't get posted for some reason, the post posted instead on this forum was meant for another forum. Recently Ubisoft has gotten alot of backlash on Far Cry 6 for not hiring a Cuban voice character and whole lot of other stuff that no one could care less about. Esposito played a great role in this game and the trailer looks promising. Would be a shame if Ubisoft listened to these radical SJW journalist and ruined Far Cry 6. Why must politics and real world events be focused in a video game?
I don't want the BS story points of politics drummed into the ground like they did with "Not everything can be solved with a bullet" in FC5, but I don't mind well written story that has political tones that make you think. Any game set in the modern world will have some degree of political nature, and heck a well written story can easily have multiple political messages...it just depends on how it is handled. I think the biggest issue I have is when the message denigrates alternative viewpoints or ideas and pontificates how good they personally are.
Personally, write a good story, let politics be in it, but not the focus, and let choices matter. It annoyed me to no end when FC5 choices didn't matter...heck you couldn't actually make any real ones,....and then they berated you throughout the game and ending for making bad choices. They told you all game long that you should have walked away....which means they(the writers) spent all game telling you, you shouldn't be playing their game.
I wish Ubi would forget checkboxes of races and groups, forget agendas, and focus on a quality story, with interesting characters and a rich choice system.
As far as the Urinalists go...the more they hate a game, the more likely I am to look at buying it.
Sorry, I meant to say radical Wokes who are a little too much on the extreme. And I wasn't referring to Ubsioft's employees but rather the journalist that give Ubsioft and the Far Cry franchise a bad reputation saying stuff like the game is pay 2 win and boring all the while talking about racism and discrimination in their games. It's pretty obvious they only played Far Cry New Dawn for 10 minutes before they went on their rant speaking for the entire franchise. Example: https://www.thegamer.com/far-cry-6-u...eed-same-game/. Misleading information and criticism can be harmful for Ubisoft(And other companies too). Not just financially. Sure Ubsioft may have recently gotten backlash regarding sexual allegations but I don't think it's necessary to 'cancel' Ubisoft and dump on their games.
Yes, agree. Concentrating on the game is more important.
At the same time, nobody or nothing should be ignored.
Just look at it.....
The game is not apolitical.
I think the game should be Classic. For all times.
Political and non-political, two in one.
I've read so many times, people commenting Far Cry 6 trailer were writing - "So actual!"
Dictatorship, revolution, everything related to this......Classic!
Always will be interesting.
Even playing Far Cry 6 ten or twenty years later, it will be actual.
For me, Far Cry 6 should be like a beautiful fairy tale. With its mesmerizing atmoshere, in which we'll want to return again and again later.
Interesting how people see their own in Far Cry 6 ....
Venezuela?
Chili?
Colombian drug trafficking?
Nicaragua?
Exaggerated U.S.A and future dictatorship?
By the way.....
Such a banner is rather popular today among protesters.
Leader with Hitler's moustache.
In the game protesters also may have it - Castillo with Hitler's moustache.

I don't think anyone is arguing that there are no political themes in the game, but there are a lot of these "journos" who griped about FC5 not exploring them further and wanted the game to be more upfront and in your face with taking a stance on those issues, which I think would have been super lame. They use a politically charged theme as a back drop to create a semi-plausible conflict within the confines of the setting, that is the purpose of using the political elements, they don't need to get heavy handed with making specific statements about it and it would be nothing but detrimental if they did.
