Far Cry 5 is crazy, mad stuff that feels perfect for its environment. At E3 this year, we got a quick chance to quiz narrative director Jean-Sebastien Decant on the environment, Boomer and your fellow guns for hire. Here’s what he had to say:

Far Cry 5 looked downright somber then. A serious look at the effects of cults and the ramifications of their presence on the people around them. That much is still very much true in Far Cry 5, but it’s also not the defining aspect of this latest sequel. In a hands-on session at E3, Ubisoft’s open-world shooter was madder than a bag of agitated weasels, the kind of game that makes you echo America f*** yeah with gusto.

Even without the presence of the best Whose Line Is It Anyway hostess with the mostess, Ubisoft still rocked their hour of reveals. I like to think that a good press conference should be both entertaining and informative, something that was clearly present today. From Far Cry 5’s confusing about-turn on its tonal direction through to a 2 Crew 2 Furious sequel that seems to have expanded its racing to land, sea and air, Ubisoft had plenty to show off.

When you're facing religious terrorists, the only thing you can do is raise some hell, right? Right!

Far Cry 3 really got the ball rolling with the introduction of antagonists such as Vaas and the stereotypically Souff Effriken Hoyt Volker. Far Cry 4 stepped up its villain game even further with Pagan Min, a charismatic leader whose only gal at the start of the fourth core game was to allow protagonist Ajay Ghale to spread the ashes of his deceased mother across the air currents of Kyrat. Far Cry 5’s lead villain is a bit different. Going by the name of Joseph, he’s a holy man on a quest to spread his gospel, one bullet at a time if necessary.

Want to play Far Cry 5 as a black man? A white woman? Yourself? You can do all of those. The game ditches the prescribed character in favour of one you create yourself.

Screaming into the void of chat rooms and comment sections behind the veil of anonymity has resulted the following priceless gems of stupidity long before Far Cry 5 has even been properly revealed. Here’s a selection of choice comments so far.

Tomorrow, Ubisoft will officially unveil Far Cry 5 after a series of vignettes teased its Montana location. That’s unusual for a series that usually has you, the player, off in remote locales killing the local population. That's only the tip of the controversy iceberg though.
