Thats right, evil bad dictator man blocks medicine to his own island because he hates freedom or something. Otherr than that its an okay game I guess
That game is wild and codes the good guys as socialists, but the bad guys are also socialists? The good guys also complain about things like state censorship but all that seems to entail is they wanna have EDM concerts with neon lights.
It's such a fever dream, but of course it's going to have weird politics. The good guys in Far Cry 5 were cops, militia peppers, and white small business owners.
It's because liberals have been living in tge skin suit of social democracy for so long they have forgotten that liberalism can't actually create any of the things they think they stand for. This is your average lib mind you not die hard ideologues.
Did you just refer to my best friend Cheeseburger, "the bear with diabetes," as Hamburger
I saw my roommate destroy a slave plantation and drive off with a pet alligator named Guapo while a salsa version of Bella Ciao played. That was pretty cool.
Yara is like Cuba if Batista's son succeeded in a counterrevolution or something, yeah? I haven't been following the story.
I interpreted the entire game as a liberal fever dream where they recognize the appeal of communist/anarchist aesthetics, but endorse none of the political implications of that. Pre-revolution Yara is explicitly called liberal a few times.
Yara is more like if Batista was a good guy and a liberal but some ill defined evil revolutionaries took control with communist aesthetics but they instead tricked everyone and made a monarchy dictatorship and now it's up to the good socialists to defeat them.
It's like the game devs looked at all the instances of America installing dictators in Latin America and are blaming it on Latin Americans themselves.
The game's kinda fun though. Guns are loud and pow pow. You get a little doggy buddy. It's a very Ubisoft game, go destroy outpost A, do tailing mission B, blow up thing at C, repeat. Nice gunfights and stealth too
I haven't played the game but you make it sound like they were worried about being seen as "political" and therefore made it so contradictory and confusing that no coherent politics can even be represented let alone endorsed by the game.
That has indeed been the case with the last few Far Cry games. Surface level political struggles with incoherent motivations and presented ideologies.
The bad guys are only communists because the bad guys need to be red and communists wear red
and the good guys are...also communists but they like to spray paint graffiti and throw molotov cocktails, or something? Their goals aren't well defined other than overthrowing the government. Also the good guys are working with the CIA.
So like the good guys are communists with American punk anarchist aesthetics
Say that three times fast into a mirror, and Ubisoft will talk about "red fascists" in the dlc.
Where is it implied/said that the bad guys are communists? From what I gathered, communists overthrew Antons father but the communist government was incompetently run and led Yara into an economic disaster that led to the country voting for Anton Castillo that was promising to restore Yara to a "paradise". It sounds more like he was trying to revert the country back to what it was before the communists took over.
Aren't they also making their own medicine (but at what cost!) but it's actually made with slave labor?
yes lol thats a whole thread. They have a cancer cure, but its made by shooting poor people in the head :(
And it's magic tobacco no less!
Because that's all they do in Cuba, smoke cigars
They do it to themselves, they do
And that's what really hurts
They do it to themselves, they do
Themselves and no one else
They do it to themseeeeeeeelves
They do it to themseeeeeeeelves
:cat-vibing:
eh, I havent played a far cry since 3 and even then it wasnt my copy of the game. Im enjoying have access to some unnecessary luxury for the first time but I wouldnt exactly recommend it at this point.
