THE LAST “NUMBERED” FAR CRY GAME, #5, CAME OUT 3 1/2 YEARS AGO. IT WAS FOLLOWED BY NEW DAWN, WHICH BROUGHT SOME CLOSURE TO #5’S STORY. I LOVED THEM BOTH. AND NOW, AT LAST, THIS WEEK FAR CRY 6 IS RELEASING. THE NEW VILLAIN IS GIANCARLO ESPOSITO, PERHAPS BEST KNOWN AS GUS FRING FROM BREAKING BAD. FUN FACT: HE WAS THE CONSPIRACY-THEORIST REPORTER (WHO TURNED OUT TO BE LARGELY CORRECT) IN BOB ROBERTS! I HAD NO IDEA UNTIL TODAY. ANYWAY, UNFORTUNATELY YOU CAN’T GET IT ON STEAM BUT YOU CAN GET IT THROUGH UBISOFT’S LAUNCHER.
BONUS FUN FACT: I ALSO FOUND OUT TODAY THAT THE JACKAL FROM FAR CRY 2 HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY UBISOFT TO BE THE PLAYER CHARACTER FROM FAR CRY 1! PRETTY INTERESTING. NEVER DID FINISH FAR CRY 1, THOUGH I’VE FINISHED EVERY NUMBERED ENTRY SINCE. STILL HAVE TO FINISH BLOOD DRAGON AND PRIMAL.
