Support NeoGAF

[Iscariot]

Looks white to me.

If you ignore his face that's quite true.

 

[Wiseblood]

Why doesn't he have a pork bun in his hand?

Because he's not a whole man.

 

[LordOfChaos]

An Indian (Ok, Kyrati or whatever, but come on, "Ajay"?), serious, protagonist, rather than the usual comedic sideshow? As someone of Indian descent I'm surprised, I don't remember ever seeing that in games.

 

[AppleMIX]

Not going to lie, I kind of love the fact that Far Cry 4 is doing the exact opposite of what people's knee jerk reactions are.

 

[Faith]

Guys please. There is only one race, the human race.

 

[chickdigger802]

whats the gimmick that makes him into a super rambo killer for this?

last was tattoos... betting on spiritual mystical stuff this time. aligning the stars?

 

[Swhalen]

Looks better than Jason Brody...

 

[sjay1994]

but he's fundamentally white

what?

 

[PranooY]

Looks white to me.

Oh, come on. Lot of brown people look like that.
He looks like a typical Nepali/North Indian/Himalayan guy.

 

[Nokagi]

That's clearly a gay white dude wearing a mask. I dunno why anyone else can't see it.

 

[culafia]

Is there anything wrong with a white main character? Like, would it really be that horrible? It's played out, sure, but Jason Brody wasn't really racist and he wasn't even that generic in spite of his skin color.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Nicholas Tse?

 

[LordOfChaos]

Looks white to me.

He looks like a lot of people near the Himalayas region do. And besides, this is a fictional ethnicity after all, he's probably a hybridization of Indian, Nepali, etc.

 

[bishoptl]

Can we have a rule where we aren't allowed to type all capitals on thread titles? Even whenever there is a topic for example "Marvel's AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON" it is really annoying.

NO

 

[FLAguy954]

Yay! Not some white guy.

This!

 

[Faith]

That's clearly a gay white dude wearing a mask. I dunno why anyone else can't see it.

I see a black gay Arabic Jew who has kids with his partner.

 

[UnluckyKate]

I hope this chaeracter has more of a unique persona than the generic, insipid dude of the last game.

you mean generic rich douchy frat bro ?

 

[Crocodile]

I hope a lot of people are feeling embarrassed. I definitely agree with Jim Sterling's point that the way Ubisoft released info about this game didn't help their case but its hysterical how so many people's preconceived notions about this game and its characters turned out to be COMPLETELY FUCKING WRONG! I understood a lot of their fears in the abstract, but they have to ACTUALLY APPLY to the game you are criticizing LOL

 

[Gorillaz]

Where is Jason Brody, he made Farcry 3 storyas good as it is.

 

[erawsd]

So everything people were upset about turn out to not be true? Hmm...

 

[KDC720]

Looks like a cool guy. Im curious if he is going to be a silent protagonist though.

 

[Kikujiro]

Will support this game, Ubisoft is doing good.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Looks like a cool guy. Im curious if he is going to be a silent protagonist though.

He spoke in the trailer.

 

[Acquiescence]

Awesome, I'm always glad to see John Leguizamo in more stuff.

 

[Denton]

He spoke in the trailer.

Thankfully. I loathe silent protagonists.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Reminds me of Mario Lopez.

|o| I can't stand Mario Lopez, useless gossip marionette

 

[KingofGourds]

As a balding man I'm disappointed that this guy is of an ethnicity gifted with genes for lusciously thick hair and a solid hairline.

How can I possible put myself in this character's shoes when his scalp is nothing like mine?

 

[Auto-Reply]

Looks good... I guess, I hate him already!

 

[GlamFM]

Yay, very cool.

 

[nomis]

But does he have a case of the Not-Gays?

This is the only remaining piece of info I need before I preorder.

 

[Beefy]

whats the gimmick that makes him into a super rambo killer for this?

last was tattoos... betting on spiritual mystical stuff this time. aligning the stars?

After every kill he becomes whiter until he morphs into jason brody the native killing machine.

 

[injurai]

but he's fundamentally white

hmmm

hmmmmm

 

[EulaCapra]

He's hot. Let the Yaoi'ing commence!

 

[VanquishUK]

Looks gay, this game truly worries me.

 

[GalacticSushiman]

Looks gay, this game truly worries me.

 

[DukeBobby]

After Jason Brody and Aiden Pearce, I can't say I have much faith in this character.

 

[Squire]

Yay! Not some white guy.

Could've fooled me.

 

[Wiseblood]

Is there anything wrong with a white main character? Like, would it really be that horrible? It's played out, sure, but Jason Brody wasn't really racist and he wasn't even that generic in spite of his skin color.

In most games there would be nothing inherently wrong with a white MC. In this game though it would turn it into yet another tale of poor oppressed natives who need a white savior to rescue them

 

[SJRB]

So who is this guy then?

 

[Dennis]

I like him. Looks handsome.

 

[Majanew]

But what's his sexual preference?

You'll have to ask that idiot Jed. He's good at profiling.

 

[Dead Prince]

other than his ugly hair i'm okay with him.

 

[Maleficence]

Much better look than the last guy.

 

[Chariot]

I'm offended. I don't know by what exactly, but I am. Boooo!

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

 

[hbkajshdvfbkjhvgkahsgdfka]

How am I supposed to relate to an ethnic Kyrati???? At least they reduced the severity of his epicanthic fold to appear less threatening and appeal to my Western sensibilities.

 

[Kinyou]

Spoiler

Wonder if someone will still say that he doesn't "look asian enough"

 

[JayEH]

Ok so he isn't white. I was reading the GI cover story and I was confused since they said he was born in the country the game takes place in but in the demo at the Ubi press conference he looked white to me.

 

[The Chef]

But what's his sexual preference?

Should have been first post. Too good.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Ubisoft stays winning. Far Cry and Rainbow Six got GOTY locked up in 2014 and 2015.
