Yep - you guessed it - Far Cry 6!

Well, he could still be wearing a gas mask if it was defoliant, you don't want to breathe that in! We shall see I suppose.

I could live with the drug stuff, but it is definitely not my favorite. A deal breaker for me would be any kind of ridiculous boss.

[fragger]

Same, PZ.  A drug- and boss-free affair would be nice.

I think that spraying-stuff is supposed to be defoliant. From what little I've gleaned, the baddie of the piece is probably wiping out people's legit crops to force them into growing drug ones, like coca or something.

I don't care if he manufactures drugs, as long as I don't have to take any

Or burn down any, FC3, FC4, (and probably FC5; I haven't played that yet) both had dubstep-fueled drug field burning missions, and I, for one have had quite enough of those. Sadly, if FC6 does include drug plantations, then there will be one mission with a theme which is basically

"Here's a flamethrower.
It sprays lots of fire.
Go burn down the drugs."

Yeah there is that, it's like they added new flame graphics and fire spread routines and needed something to use it on, and thought, "Hey, I know! Let's have the player burn down fields of drugs, and of course, the fumes make them high!"

Good one LinkHero! Kudo for the haiku

I will see Digital Foundry's tech analysis of it, as I am curious into how the game will take advantage of the next gen hardware. Being a cross-gen title, I guess the old consoles will hold it back one way or another

I might like the large size of the game which includes beaches, jungle, and of course the big city. Of course, I'll wait until legitimate game play videos are posted.

[Dweller_Benthos]

I would guess you would have access to the whole island from the start, at least I hope so, the last couple games let you do that. No more splitting the map in two and blocking access to half of it until a certain point in the story. It's still a long way off, a lot of things can change in a year.

[PZ]

I hope you're correct, D_B 

Unlocking parts of the mao until you reach a certain level or have completed a certain mission was a hallmark of the Assassin's Creed games, which was an element that I did not like - never was able to understand how anyone would think that is entertaining.
