Will Far Cry 5go down as the weirdest video game of 2018?eroticism and intention It sure is the front-runner right now.
In the original reveal, Ubisoft sold it as a mature, grounded look at cults in America. Dan Hay, the game's creative director, told me as much in May 2017.
SEE ALSO: Is Boomer a good boy? Ubisoft's 'Far Cry 5' support page says yes."We're trying to build a world that is real. [This is] something that could happen," he said at the time. "So we built a situation where we've got this cult and it's got ... this section of [America] underneath its boot heels. And then you go into it in a very real way and try to take America back."
As most anyone who has played Far Cry 5no doubt knows, the reality of the game is quite different. There's one mission built around tracking down what is strongly suggested to be the infamous "Donald Trump 'pee tape.'" Another tasks you with harvesting bull testes and bull semen, for Hope County's annual -- I swear this is what the game calls it -- Testy Festy food festival.
That's just the scripted stuff. Far Cryhas always been a sandbox-first game, where the vast, freely explorable world is driven by self-governing systems that are meant to make the world feel alive.
Practically speaking, that means different types of animals and factions of humans think and act for themselves. Fires, once lit, spread naturally. Physics affect everything from the bullets fired out of your guns to the way a spiraling plane crashes into the ground.
When all of those interconnected systems crash up against the human ingenuity of a living player (not to mention each other), chaos follows. That's where the Far Crymagic really comes from. It's not about the story that's written, it's about the story that writes itself as you play.
Sometimes, this translates into epic set piece moments that are entirely of your own design. The game really sings around these sequences. And at other times... well... shit gets weird. Really weird. It happens with every Far Cry, and Far Cry 5is no exception. One player's "this stupid game is broken" is another player's "OMG I need to capture and share every moment."
I could easily lose hours browsing through the Far Crysubreddit, just digging up increasingly bizarre GIFs. (Some of these shares are embedded, some of them just link out. It's for your protection from sound-enabled autoplay, dear reader.)
The subreddit keeps going, too. This game is an absolute delight, once you get past the fact that there's nothing serious or grounded or real about it.
Hey, Ubisoft. Next time you want to hype a new Far Crygame, just grab a bunch of weird footage captured during QA sessions. These games aren't about their stories; they're about moments.
