For Far Cry Vengeance, it was the crappy graphics and AI. Far Cry 2 was taken to task for its exploration of morality whilst having you kill a certain bunch of people, and the third game put peoples' backs up with everything from its handling of torture to the first-person sex scenes. Far Cry 4 has already been causing controversy thanks to the reveal of the game's box-art a few weeks ago, showing an evil (and douchey)-looking white dude sitting on a broken Buddha statue, his hand on the head of a Kyrat native. It seemed a wee bit racist and/or white supremacist to some. We learned a little more about this saffron-suited bad guy at E3 as he got his own trailer, just to introduce him (and hey, he's not actually white!). After orchestrating a massacre of everyone riding a bus you're also travelling on and stabbing one of his own men, the well-spoken maniac (who has more than a little of the Cumberbatch about him) then took a selfie with your character as the blood still warm on his face dries out. It seems Ubisoft are definitely looking to be more insane than Far Cry 3's Vaas, and that's saying something.
