MadCap's Game Reviews - "Far Cry New Dawn"

I have to admit, every so often Ubisoft surprises me.

...oh, right. Why didn't this review come out something like over a month ago and when it was relevant and anyone actually gave a shit about it? And why am I not playing Devil May Cry 5 (even though I probably am by the time this review will come out)?

Well, wonderful questions, voices in my head! I'll be happy to answer them after I give my spoiler tag for the events of Far Cry 5. I think that really goes without saying (or doesn't, actually, but I'll get into that), of course, given what most people know about this game. But it never hurts to cover your bases, or at least that's what I've been taught by vigorous beatings with a baseball bat (thanks, Uncle Gus!), so here we go merrily on our way.

MadCap's Game Reviews - "Far Cry 5"

So...Far Cry 5. A game that most of the mainstream gaming press seems to think should have carried some sort of political message due to, as the Eighth Doctor once put it, the human need to see "patterns in things that aren't there". But I'm here to tell you, folks, that there is a political message. It's buried in a very, very deep bit of subtext, so don't worry gaming press, I understand how it was so easy for you to miss even as you went over the entire game with a fine-toothed comb. You wanna know what it is? Because I can tell you. Ready?

CULTS ARE REALLY, REALLY BAD, MKAY?!

The fact that that even needs to be said is troubling. There's not a "two sides" thing. There's not a "not portraying crazy cults accurately thing". Cults are bad. That's the message. I'd say this isn't seeing the forest for the trees, but you people are clearly dense as all get out.
