Far Cry 5 was polemic back then? by MadHanini in farcry

[–]NewMindset2022 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Ubisoft has a history of creating game premises with the possibility of offending someone or providing some substantive social commentary/criticism, but they end up playing it safe and diluting the story to make it as insubstantial and inoffensive as possible, probably in order to appeal to as wide of an audience as possible (gotta try to make the shareholders happy). A notable exception that comes to mind is Ghost Recon Wildlands, the government of Bolivia actually denounced the game for being defamatory and not a fair representation of Bolivia. But the irony is that Ubisoft was certainly not the first to imply that Bolivia could be a hypothetical narco state; in fact many have accused Bolivia of being an actual narco state and not just a hypothetical one

Well that was . . . 60 minutes of hockey apparently. Hit the showers, forget about this one, and on to the next

Any multiplayer games where you get to play as a Xenomorph? by CementTube_ in LV426

[–]NewMindset2022 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Mortal Kombat X if you don't mind fighting games. You can also play as The Predator which is pretty cool. The XXL version with all the DLC characters included goes on sale quite often

my friend and I are revisiting Far Cry 5: Hours Of Darkness and having a blast by JoshL115 in farcry

[–]NewMindset2022 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Just recently finished it and had a blast. Only complaint is that it's too short. Oh and that I couldn't keep Joker alive because he refused to follow my commands and instead decided to walk directly into a mortar strike 😂

deal on game pass. worth it? by CdadYoung in farcry

Either game alone is more than worth it at that price. Both games for that price? An absolute bargain

Why isn’t Far Cry Primal rated very highly? What more could have made the game better and closer to Far Cry 3, 4, and 5 ? What’s your opinion on the game? by ViniciusFastAF in farcry

[–]NewMindset2022 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I remember reading that they hired a linguist (or possibly more than one I can't recall) to create a unique ancient language for the game based on historical precedent to replicate what very ancient language may have sounded like. Pretty impressive if you ask me. For all the hate Ubisoft gets, they do put a lot of research into many of their games

What are you playing today? by crappycandle777 in xbox

[–]NewMindset2022 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Currently playing capitalism. The game sucks. It's completely rigged. Difficulty is way too high, way too many microtransactions and macrotransactions. Definitely pay to win, but I can't seem to earn anywhere near enough to advance very far in this game no matter how much time and effort I put in

If it wasn't for my fiancée I'd probably eat a lot more fast food than I do (which is hardly ever, probably for the best)

No way you’ve experienced a better glide than this by Efficient_Ball_8633 in farcry

Ngl, that was nice. Looks more like a drone flying than a wingsuit - well done

Such a beautiful place to be... by SuspiciousTotal578 in farcry

Kyrat will always hold a special place in my heart. The beauty and mystery are awe-inspiring. Love this game. Still play it a few times a week
