Hopefully we will have a minority pro-tag, probably Native American, rekt'ing bigots, religious zealouts, and neo-nazi-like individuals. Sign me up.

Thank God no Western scenario. I dig it.
And beards. I'm surprised they didn't try to put one one the woman.
It's executed terribly.

So it is not a Western setting ...
Depends on what you mean by Western. "Old West", no, but it could still be very much a Western in spirit.
Damn Montana is beautiful and underused just like most of American countryside and it's much more unique than tropical islands and mountain setting in games. Especially for Far Cry.
Excited for this setting and definitely excited to shoot some white supremacist nutjobs.
Sad that being a white guy blowing away minorities is seem as the norm

Yeah, there's real potential for a supremely well-told and dark story with this setting.
But this is Ubisoft. The story is going to be a well-spoken bad guy sending hundreds of people after you for you to shoot. And you'll also hunt bears and wolves and whatever else so you can craft bigger wallets and backpacks. There will be many, many icons and side missions. Once you've upgraded everything, you, as a one man army, will take the bad guy down. There will be some hallucinating.

This concept seems super interesting but I hope the writers can actually follow through on the pitch.
FC games are fun but 3 had some of the worst writing in a AAA video game and 4's plot, while not as terrible, was still not very good (especially since one of the major decisions of the game boils down to "both sides are bad, actually" which is lazy and unsatisfying).

Pretty interested actually.
I mean it is Ubisoft. I love their games, and they go to some comically cynical/dark places sometimes (Wildlands for example), but this is a tentpole franchise, and the developers, shareholders, execs, etc. want to profit on it.
It needs to make money, so it'll probably be suitably dark but otherwise perfectly marketable if we're being real.
Yes, going by history. Who knows here though.

Well let's start from the top; were you expecting mainly non-human enemies this time around?

I have little to no confidence in Ubisoft to pull off the setting/story, so I'm mainly in it for the gameplay/gameplay changes.

Gut Reaction: No. Very turned-off.
I've had some fun with the series in the past though, so I'm interested to see and learn more about the game, setting, and characters.

Spent a good amount of time in Montana... and some "tropical" areas in South America... id have to argue the opposite i'm sorry. Montana is absolutely gorgeous... but there's not much besides the usual western US landscape. Nothing wrong with that but to me tropical islands offer a much more visually interesting environment.
Also - Is that an Olsen twin on the right?! LMFAO

Why does it look like that all the bad guys are white ?

I'm a Christian so this is definitely intriguing. Excited to see how Ubisoft tackles this.
