This is especially true when it comes to the endings, as Jason Brody may very well turn on everything and everyone for Citra. Of FC3, FC4, and FC5, Far Cry 3 obviously has the darker plot. If Far Cry 6 does indeed turn out darker than FC4 and FC5, that may beg the question of how it'll compare to Far Cry 3. It does remain to be seen of course, but players may not be able to doubt Anton's power as they did Joseph Seed's or question his mindset as they did Pagan Min's. Based on the ESRB rating and trailers released thus far, Far Cry 6 seems much more serious and much darker than the past two games. In short, Far Cry 4 is a very gamified, no happy ending depiction of a dictatorship.įar Cry 6 stands in contrast to it in this way. If Ajay sides with Amita, the country becomes an Authoritarian drug state if Ajay sides with Sabal, it becomes a patriarchal fundamentalist theocracy. While the country may be amid a civil war, the two primary Far Cry 4 endings show that the country is no better regardless of who is in charge.
RELATED: Far Cry 7 May Walk The Same Road As Assassin's Creed Infinity His most violent acts, for example, come from a need for theatrics. It's far more limited, and that's because Pagan Min is far more eccentric than he is violent. In story structure, Far Cry 6 may be closer to Far Cry 4, as the latter similarly revolves around a dictatorship in another fictional country. Its ESRB rating has more of the same, but notably the discussed violence is mostly related to brutal killings and torture. The fact that Joseph Seed is right and the world does end just adds another layer of masking violence with the unbelievable. At the end of the day, there's a mask of incredulity to anything players see because they think they're fighting a terribly uninformed group of cultists. That's because, while the former is clearly violent, it's limited and masked with the game's more unconventional tone. Outside the usual, for example, Far Cry 5 features suicide, mutilation, and corpses, but its ESRB rating putting a stronger emphasis on the amount of drugs and sex referenced in the game than it does these scenes. Indeed, authenticity to the atrocities at hand is something past games have manipulated. If nothing else, without gut-wrenching and manipulative violence like the above, it may not seem as authentic. And dictatorships are known for their atrocities, violence, and controlling nature, which is all content that may highlight the aforementioned cutscenes. It's hard to picture these scenes exactly yet, but at the same time, Far Cry 6 is dedicated to the politics of dictatorship and revolution. If nothing else, the ESRB rating highlights the sheer brutality of the Castillo regime. Expectant curse words, drug packages, and more also appear throughout Far Cry 6, but obviously those pale in comparison. Some of the madness highlighted by the ESRB rating includes various cutscenes that depict intense violence: severe torture of bound and cuffed characters, characters being executed by firing squads, a soldier committing suicide, and dismembered figures and limbs "amid pools of blood."ĮSRB doesn't go too far into detail regarding the suggestive or sexual material in the game, but it does highlight one scene where a soldier is "role-playing with a fully clothed sex worker," as well as references to paying sex workers, addressing one or the other as "mama," and questioning safe words.
It's worth mentioning that, in context, all of the following comes from a story told from the perspective of a resistance fighter going against dictator Anton Castillo, whose son Diego also plays a major role. However, the ESRB rating highlights how Far Cry 6 takes it a step further. Adult themes are no stranger to the franchise, which includes violent combat, suggestive material, and alcohol and drugs aplenty.
