7 Reasons Far Cry 5 Could Be The Most Controversial Game Ever

7. It's Much Harder To Kill Your Own

In Far Cry 3 you were the typical American bro, who killed exotic foreigners threatening your life. You came to the island for all the wrong reasons - to party, have sex, etc. - yet it was 'okay' to kill the local people of color, even though it's hard to tell why.

In Far Cry 4 you killed your own kind, but it was 'okay' as well, because the game took place in an exotic, non-existent nation of Kyrat.

Here, you're an American killing other Americans. What's more, your targets will be mostly - or wholly, as it's hard to say yet - white males. While this shouldn't be a problem, considering the "targets" in previous games and the hypocrisy of the assumption that white American christian males should be 'off limits', here we are in 2017, trying to justify the existence of games like this or Mafia III and make a political statement.

Some people have even called Far Cry 5 a "white genocide simulator" which is really more telling about those making such statements, than the game's creators.
