It warned us - "Keep Your Rifle By Your Side"
The one thing that makes us stronger than the elite.
@@Stand_watie destroy blackrock save the world
Always.
Unfortunately, I live in the UK, so I'll have to settle for a slightly grubby spoon.
It also warned the players who chose resist to keep their eyes on the road
The development of FC5 seems like it was started by passionate people with an interesting thought experiment and finished by bean counters to please investors.
It, so easily, could have been a great game.
Feels like a lot of Ubisoft games are like this tbh
Like every single AAA game released this last decade? Duh.
As per usual, with every ubi IP
Farcry, Assassin's Creed, The Crew, Splinter Cell, Watchdogs, R6, The Division and Ghost Recon.
All were amazing with real heart put in by passionate people, turned into desperate cash grab garbage.
many such cases
Jacob's VA is Lucifer from Supernatural btw
I didn’t know that, that’s pretty cool.
Yep
“If dad has something to say I’ll hear it from him until then I’ll be in my room”-Lucifer
And the sheriff is the Swede from hell on wheels.
Bet you that is more subtle hinting, its warning us of the antichrists to come
There will be extremist cult leaders, but also politicians, business men, and corrupt preachers all clenching that book with a innocent smile@@burdenofbest
I live in Montana. The characters are cartoon copies of people I work with, people I see every day. I rather liked a Farcry game based on home.

Which religion are they following? Do they see God in human?

It's a great song
Can you even call yourself a Far Cry 5 fan without getting PTSD from hearing "Only You" play?
Or FC3 fans when questioned about the definition of insanity.
Can't hear that song anymore without my broken mind throwing in a "cull the herd..." 💀
The sound track is amazing. "Keep Your Rifle by Your Side" is an anthem for libertarians and American patriots alike. "Build A Castle" is still stuck in my head several years later. This is a game I will replay once a year at least. Already had a playthrough started last week when I saw this video. That whole "At World End" album deserves a grammy. I am also a religious conservative by the way.
Yeah the soundtrack is in my favourite video game soundtracks it’s absolutely incredible.
I lived in that general direction of the US, and frankly, a cult that powerful would have a hard time forming without the conservatives, libertarians, and liberals stomping them out. The local cult had to be protected by local cops and likely the FBI. The leader eventually got arrested for doing things to kids.
I prefer "Solidarity Forever" myself. Libertarianism is pretty dumb, and i say it as a former libertarian. Libertarianism working doesn't look like the american countryside in the 18th century; it looks like an Amazon warehouse.
@@brunoactis1104 Corporations are mini states with very weak army and lots of bureaucracy. They even have their state religion (anti-White hate).
@@brunoactis1104 that is an absurdly stupid take 😂 an Amazon warehouse is an example of crony capitalism if anything at all. Amazon is allowed to get away with all this bull crap personally because they are deeply in bed with the government. There’s nothing libertarian about that.
If you listened to the radio there was talk that tensions between Russia and the US were high and probability of a nuclear strike, however with the Far cry 6 villain dlc (in this case Paga min dlc) it’s said that the Nukes came from Kyrat meaning either Sabal or Amita launched the nukes cause I don’t see Ajay doing that but who knows, also it basically makes that all endings in 4 are cannon.
That's right!
And if I remember correctly - Moscow was the first to suffer from nuclear destruction.
And why the fuck would be on the road while you're being hunted by a cult that controls them and all the towns? I spent the entire game running cross country. Also the idea that Kyrat had any nukes at all, let alone ICBMs and bombers, is fucking retarded.
@@don-andrezsit was yes
@@sixx2683 awesome!
I was raised as a Christian and even though I am not one now, one of the core tenants taught to me was forgiveness. In one of the endings Joseph does actually forgive the player, I was very surprised by this, because most media will depict Christians as hateful or hypocritical, but that time it showed someone truly practicing what they preach. Especially to see a villain do it was quite refreshing.
Edited for grammar
I am former Christian and seeing that made me feel that same feeling. Unfortunately for that media side you brought up. That side is loudest and most unhinged who don't truly follow the beliefs that christ set out for us to do. I left Christianity years ago because of the unhinged people i seen and why no one is stopping them from going against god. They are far too gone.
I may not practice religion that much anymore but i still follow or try to follow those core beliefs of trying to be a good person. I am not perfect but i try to be good.
Did this guy just say Christians are a cult…my guy I’m not religious much but you want a cult go to scienctoligy
@@themuffinlord6442I’m an atheist and I believe in the opposite people have nothing to believe in people have mental breakdowns over what happens next after their time is up (hate to admit it so have I). People don’t have fear of repercussions of their actions and feel less for their fellow human or thy neighbour. It has created an even bigger divide among people nothing to bond over nothing to say hey here is how to treat your fellow man. It created the civilisation we now know and depending on who you are that is a good thing or a bad thing or a mix. And some of the kindest and brightest people I know are religious and who am I to judge they have rules to follow that I think overall turns them into better people. And had a Muslim friend and we had ww3 and by that we just joked hey you took my seat you started ww3. It was just jokes you could never make the man mad. And actually the elite would hate religion as without religion it people could work Saturday and Sunday as their would have been no prayer, no holiday no Christmas, Easter, hanukkah, etc. sure I do believe at some point there would have been days off anyways but still a lot less possibly.
The media’s portrayal of Christians is mostly just Jewish People still being salty about Christ 2000 years later.
That’s literally it.
@@themuffinlord6442 God bless you, hope you find yourself brother
It's so fascinating to me that in my two walkthroughs of the game, it used religion in such a smart way that I was intrigued about it at the end. It is a great game to play with a close relative. I wish that the story was more... greatly designed.
Yeah.. The story had potential.. But they executed it a bit poorly.. Too many forced abductions
People can say what they want about FC3 and Vaas, but this game is hyper-realism and a masterpiece.
@@MichaelSeeedthis game is NOT hyper realism 😂
@@lewisofthehooodBut... god.
@@lewisofthehoood Yes it fucking is.
Me in the corner tweaking silently after a elderly man at the retirement home i work at plays only you
“Only youuuu” * immediately kills everyone in the room
9:20 Just for clarification. God steps in before Abraham kills his son Issac because he never intended him to kill his son, he was testing how much Abraham trusted him and how far Abraham would go to obey him.
The story about Abraham (Peace be Abon Him) you just said is the same story we have in the Qur'an ❤
The most interesting thing about Faith is that there were 3. Rachel Jessop (the Faith we know) was the third, the other two lost Faith and I think Joseph strangled the first and Faith pushed the other off the Joseph statue to show her devotion to Joseph.
So as far as I can remember, there would have been… Faith (Joseph’s real wife), Selena, Lana, Megan, and Rachel Jessop. Those are all the mentioned one. Megan was Ethan’s father in new dawn who left. Faith was his old original wife. The rest were mentioned to be buried under the angel’s cave.
Far Cry New Dawn only solidifies Joseph Seed being right. His actions made a tree that allowed people to have essentially magical powers if they were worthy in God's eyes, and if not, their Demons consume them. He did realize his mistakes in the way he went about it in the end and said so himself, especially the leaders he decided to choose and too much freedom he had allowed them to hurt people and sin themselves. But regardless, he was right for the most part.
The first Faith died in a car accident
@@ZvalatDa1st that’s right
@@ZvalatDa1st which makes Joseph became totally depressed and started everything that has happened in Far Cry 5 until Far Cry New Dawn
Obviously the cast of villains have a heavy focus on religion, but I appreciate the developers also giving us a preacher character that fights with the good guys.
I guess but they had to make the good one a black guy lol
Who was wrong..... Joseph was actually speaking to God. He was 100% correct.
@@hdwarrior6304 Why not? i am always flabbergasted when i see these kinds of people. Why would you be bothered by a video game having black characters.
@@AndrewRyan-zv7zbdid you play the game?
@@hdwarrior6304and?
I'm from Los Angeles, California Everytime I hear the local news , see what's going on in local Facebook groups or in the CITIZEN app and seeing that cops n politicians don't do anything ; I always remember Joseph seed saying "No one is coming to save you"
Cops and politicians do, do stuff to keep us safe, enough with the far right propaganda
It is true, cops don't anything. Hell I know this all to well. Some punk kid broke into my Home, I caught him, handed him over to the NINE FUCKING COPS that showed up and a week or two later the crook is back on the streets doing the same thing as he was before, except he knows now I'm always watching my home, or was. Last I heard, he's in Garden City doing the same fucking thing walking free. Cops are super useless.
Irl the righteous wont suffer "the collapse"
Player character gender may not alter cutscenes, but NPCs will have different voice lines during gameplay.
I was not aware of that, thanks for pointing it out.
Hey man bible corrector 234 here God didn't scold Abraham at the end he thank him for his faithfulness and gave him a lamb to sacrifice instead but yeah thats pretty much it
Good eye!
Thank you I wasn’t really sure what happened.
Yup. It's interesting that this is also fully acknowledged in Quran.
@@montagne4976 that's good to know =D
@@montagne4976 I agree.
It IS interesting.
Far Cry 5 basically is a video game that warns people about the consequences of being in a cult.
But then the cult was actually right
@@KuroKumo96Of what?
@@moister3727you cannot nor should you ever fully rely on the government or others for protection. You want to be safe you have to do it yourself.
@@Outlaw7263 Yeah, that is one way to look at it
@@moister3727 outlaw gave a good example but what I mean is the cult had the right idea but bad execution. the world ended and the strongest survived. if the cult wasn't so fanatical and hopped up on narcotics and trying to "save" people, they could have survived the apocalypse without drawing attention from the player in the first place.
You hear a line the father says warning us about consumption and wants, he says something on the lines "we need new smart phones we need a new watch to go with the phone, need a new handbag to go with the watch just stuff like that and I'm like Wtf he is right about humanity and how it's going
Hes right. Maybe his methods arnt just brutal for brutals sake.
It's a literal video game. It's not that serious. Yall are talking about this one talk they had like it wasn't a thing well before this game was even thought of. The fact that the idiot in the video thinks it's predicting the future is fucking dumb. Yall really listening to the words of a cult leader in a goddamn video game. Yall are fucking ridiculous.
Can't really say Joseph is right about that, I mean getting new and better stuff that meets our needs is normal. However I mostly agree with Jacob, hes completely right about how weak humanity has become and we're barely alive anymore thats how easy survival has become.
Very original…so inspiring…
I mean cmon man…do you really not watch any other media? Movies, books or other games? This theme isn’t new or anything…
@@DesertStateInEU I thought, to put it like that, that whole human body "regenerates" in about 7-10 years, ie every cell has born again and old died as cells constantly die and new ones must be created. It aint 100% so, bones dont do it but almost everything else does that give life to body. On other hand, didnt Joseph cult earn cash by selling that drug some members use.... they must do something other than preach. So this is conflicting thing yes true but also not true, depending on viewpoint which can be subjective.
Ill add that the ending you choose in Farcry 5 split the game into 2 timelines:
Walk away ending: Farcry7
Resist ending: New dawn
I actually have a whole fan theory based around this premise. I won’t get into massive details, but yes, the resist ending obviously turns into new dawn, but then after enough time has passed new, Dawn turns into blood dragon
@@TownofSouthPark Well also because the walk away ending makes more sense for boomer and the cult stuff in the shipping container in FC7
@@BigW541FarCry7 exists already or am I missing something?
@@BigW541Don't you guys mean far cry 6?
new dawn didnt happen. its not real, its fan fic.
About Jacob... man, that was kinda scary how Ubisoft weaponized the procedural way one clears an area in this game almost mindlessly, only to use it's repetitive instinct to manipulate us into killing resistance. Not the deputy. We, the players, were played.
Far Cry 5 is my all-time favorite video game. But it is kind of creepy how much this game relates to real life. For example, as Joseph Seed says, "They will come. They will try to take from us. Take our guns. Take our freedom... Take our faith! But we will not let them."
Wym like how the government is trying to take stuff from people or something please explain 🤔
And hes right.....during covid they tried to shut down religion. At police gunpoint.
fuggin same man
Based on the Branch-Davidians most likely, but there's other smaller examples of the feds pulling that.
Look at today...not only the guns, not only Christianity, but they have been slowly brainwashing people that the traditional house hold is old and outdated way of thinking when any sane person knows, society can't move forward without the traditional family...and especially with the whole .."A man can get pregnant" . These are the very same people who wished they had traditional families when or if things hit the fan
In my humble opinion, the game is more about how Seed was just a byproduct of their dwindling society, he even said that himself, but the thing is that the nuclear war would happen anyway, if you pay attention to most of the game dialogue you'll understand that nothing was fine outside hope county, even the idea of sending the sheriff without a SWAT team, FBI or the national guard, meant something, probably the government didn't have enough people to take care of that cult, and considering the extent which they went, it meant they were already beyond powerless to deal with some internal affair, probably because they were knees deep in a war and things were already done by that point, Seed was right not because of god or madness, but because he was part of the collapse itself but he thought the opposite in the most disturbing way.
He was not part of the collapse -- nothing he did weakened the border like the leaders; nothing he did felled the economy like the leaders; nothing he did challenged the safety of the average individual. Everything he did was about protectionism for those within Eden's Gate. He was wrong about the way he did things, but he was the only one who actually CARED about protecting life in the end, the government did not.
@@Billy-bc8pk "Nothing he did challenged the safety of the average individual". Who the heck were you fighting, then?
@@Billy-bc8pk Weakened the border? How the hell does this have anything to do with the game? Did fucking immigrants launch the nuke?
the cult (eden's gate) seems to be also inspired by Ted Kaczynskies writing about industrial society and it's future. so in a way, this cult has alot of justification.
@@franzsigel7166 No. No neither of them did. Certainly not Ted's well positioned butt, the only lack of advantage was maybe not enough treatment for possible mental illness, but at the end of the day, you do wrong stuff and you're accountable first and foremost.
9:17 Abraham is not scolded, quite the opposite in fact. He is commended for showing his devotion.
Just look up things when you're not sure, instead of winging it.
Yeah thanks for pointing that out, was thinking the same.
Exactly, thanks for pointing this out. I was like "hold up .." as he was talking about that lol
Definitely the youtubers fault for thinking the god of the bible isn't evil and assuming it would make a morally defensible decision at least once.
@@maus6967oh no, cringe
@@cullenkenneth5980 and yet it's true. They clearly indicated thinking that killing your kid because you think God said to is bad, and they contrast Joseph Seed (who they consider despicable for this) against the actual biblical story where the child killing doesn't actually happen. It's obvious they assumed the biblical god isn't evil, and assumed actions that reflect that would be the version of events in the story.
I like how the song "keep your rifle by your side" was made with the intention of mocking the gun rights crowd, but was such a good and catchy song who’s lyric with removing the context of the game it originated from, actually makes sense in the real world. Now it’s a pro 2A song.
It’s a prime example of “dumb satire is just reinforcing the thing itself”
Hell yeah brother. USA forever!

Gave me Waco siege vibes. I have a feeling that was their inspiration for the plot (despite the branch Davidians irl being a peaceful cult that didn’t deserve to be slaughtered)
typical government overreach
There is literally a Map in R6S based on the Waco house too! I think its called Oregon. Pretty cool!
Fuck the ATF and every 3 letter agency
Indeed the game was heavily inspired by the Branch Davidians cult, thus the Waco Siege. You could see how much Joseph Seed resembles the cult's leader David Koresh.
@@GhostRangerrhe looks extremely similar
It always bothered me that almost nobody could see the bigger picture and meaning about this game. I have always put this game in my top 5 favorite as well.
It is just a unique and special game to me, even though I acknowledge its weaknesses in gameplay and some other matters; overall, a Ubisoft game.
But the setting, the story, the music, the writing, I LOVE it.
Could you sum it up in a sentence? I personally can not wrap my mind around it.
"Help Me Faith", "Oh the Bliss", and "We Will Rise Again" are my top three favorite songs from this game's amazing soundtrack. I listen to the Cultist Radio on Spotify unironically sometimes.
So keep your rifle by your side, don’t actually feed cheeseburger cheeseburgers
FC5 was fun and that ending caught me off guard for its boldness to try something new. I think in FC4 there was an audio recording from Pagan about nukes he stockpiled. If that is canon, that implied Joseph wasn't prophetic but rather instrumental in the end times. Thoughts?
I wouldn't say instrumental more like he does have some precognitive ability to see what is happening but he was wrong for doing what he thought was right and admit that he shouldn't done the things he did. Also in game they implied someone else to have nukes and it wasn't from kryat or whatever that place name is i forgot. It more or less ubisoft poor attempt at connecting far cry games together when really they should been their own seperate things or at least loosely connected.
during the ATF siege on waco, to the innocent inside the compound it would've legitimately appeared as if the armies of babylon had descended upon them, everytime they tried to negotiate they were shot at, the ATF and FBI teams were seen by many witnesses doing things like showing their ass to the windows whenever they saw women, the entire thing that caused the conflict to escalate was a tactical team that was sent forward WHEN NEGOTIATIONS ORIGINALLY BEGAN and during the first hello's they began shooting the dogs they had outside, which led to other federal agents thinking the cult was shooting at them leading to david koresh who was outside COMPLETELY UNARMED trying to speak to negotiators being shot before running back inside, after the incident the tactical team agents then raised a flag on the burning rubble of the building and posed for photos over the corpses of dead women and children, smiling like demons as though they were some billy badass that had taken down some great threat, the feds to this day have never punished anyone involved on their end and have never admitted their mistakes such as sending a tactical team in to cut the power off outside the building while also actively "attempting negotiations" or how the same sniper who shot and killed randy weavers unarmed wife at ruby ridge was also at waco as were many of the agents who completely fucked the ruby ridge situation which was only caused because of a federal entrapment scheme to bait randy into breaking the law
Sad, I know
The bait was trying to get him to cut the barrel of a shotgun below the legal limit.
I am not a gamer but I do really enjoy your videos and find them very insightful and informative. Keep up the great work.
Most chaotic player drive: 🚙 🛻⬜️

Anybody else feel like Matthew McConaughey could play a really good version of the main villain from far cry five?
I also think setting it in Montana was an insanely perfect choice. As someone who was born and raised in the northwest, we have a scary amount of groups like this. Never this powerful, but still like this. Whether they're cults, neo-nazis, or just crazies, we have em.
The moral is keep a gun by your side always.
No it’s that cults are bad and anyone can fall prey to them: see the MAGA movement as a perfect example of a cult
This concept is really cool but after finishing the game recently I felt like alot of the characters were really forgettable and the lack of a talking player also really hurts this game
I agree apart from the Seeds a lot of characters are very forgettable.
@@burdenofbest yeah the villans were really good but the fact that the player couldn’t respond really hurts those cutscenes but still a decent gameplay hopefully 6 is good

I don’t like that they made him right because it feels like they’re saying he was justified for everything he did
I don’t think it’s saying he’s justified, just that there is moral ambiguity to his actions. It’s more of a grey area but I don’t think the game is outright saying everything he did was okay.
Sometimes the truth can lead folks to madness, it isn't right but nobody would disagree that he didn't make a point.
He wasn't right
He wasn't right, he just wasn't entirely wrong, either. You're supposed to despise the Seeds, but instead of being boring one dimensional stereotypes of evil, they make a case for their actions in a way you would encounter it in the real world, instead of corny Cold War style propaganda.
I think -and remember it's just my opinion, while he was right, he wasn't justified.
In keeping with the games religious themes, he claims that God gave him a vision of the future and told him to save as many ppl as possible. That didn't include nailing ppl who didn't believe to the walls and hoods of their cars.
(Imo)
In response to this falling away from the objective, the deputy, a literal and metaphorical representative of both the law of the land (government) and in action, God (against the seeds) is sent to separate the wheat from the chaff and undo the Seed's work.
We see that the ones who were by the Deputy's side survived in the sequel and that Joseph Seed while alive, lives a life of miserable toil almost like one of those old school old testament generational curses is upon him and his children.
It was as if in hindsight that Gods message was meant for the Deputy, and the Seeds were just the messengers who got a little too high and mighty for their own good.
It was a warning about how bad ubisoft's game design was going to get.
6:15 thank god I wasn’t the only one having that panic attack 😂
fun fact... this takes place at the same time as The Division (1) which is why, IN CANNON, the National Guard is not able to get to Hope County... they have been deployed to the cities.

@@maxaudet5177 absolutely a blunder yo. I watched the documentary few years back and I was 😮 90% of the run time. A lot of innocence was ignored imo
I don’t know why but I always thought Joseph was somehow responsible for the bombs dropping.
There's a theory that he ordered his followers to plant those nukes and set them off once things go down
That's also why people claim that "new dawn destroyer fc5 ending!" Because it tells us that "it wasn't just a greater plan of religious psychopath, but actual vision from God"
Crazy my mom said to me "don't have kids their gonna suffer" she died from cancer before covid. She'd probably say move to the outskirts, live outside the cities
She was right.
People have always suffered
Well, given how things are going, especially with an expanding population and slowly dwindling resources, your mom was right. I think it’s selfish to have kids in general (depending on motive) and a good amount of parents seem to hate and be jealous of childfree people, which is a good enough reason for me.

America was a fine thought while it stood strong; you folks had a good stretch. But in time, the land will cripple its own wealth, the warriors will split into sides, a civil war will break out, and it'll likely split into many smaller lands and powers.
Then, after all the jeering America has done toward Europeans leaning on each other, they'll learn why we did so.

I always thought it was interesting how the Seed family members are basically the 4 horsemen. You have John as famine, he controls the main agricultural area to hoard the food of the people of hope county. Jacob was war because he trains the cult’s military and is a combat veteran himself. Faith was pestilence due to her association with the drug epidemic and spreading her own plague in the bliss. Finally, Joseph was death, the culmination of his siblings. Just thought I’d leave this here.
You make a good argument.

hot take: Far Cry 5 is the best far cry game.
Completely agree Far Cry 3 is a close second for me.
2, 5, 3, 4 is my list, 5 has the best setting and mechanics by far. A remake of 2 in the engine of 5 would go bonkers
Did you miss that Joseph Seed is the one that set up the nukes in the first place? he was in control of three nuclear bunkers.
I gotta disagree with faith being the least interesting, in my opinion she’s the most with John being the least
You can’t help but feel bad for faith she was plied with drugs as a child Joseph made her make the bliss and the angels and then it turned into her being so brainwashed that she doesn’t even remember anything before the father 9:50 this story is about her it took me my second play through to realize it and during her boss fight she explains how she ended up being who she is in her final moments she regains her humanity and warns you that “if you don’t listen to him he’ll be right” and what happens is he ends up being right the nukes launch or when you choose walk away you get in your car drive a little then only you plays and your brain washed
Ironically, John struck me as the least interesting because it always felt like he was putting on an act- and I feel like that was intentional.
@@justin2308Like when he "baptizes" you, even Joseph calls him out.
I think Faith was the most compelling. She’s convincing at the beginning but by the end she reveals that she was manipulated into her position.
She was the first Seed sibling I took out.
It was that exact lack of choice that turned me off from the game's story. How many times do you get kidnapped in the course of the story? Eight, nine times?
Two particularly damning moments for me are when Faith asks you to jump and when Jacob tries to brainwash you to kill Eli (I think his name was, leader of the Whitetails.) In both instances, I caught what they were trying to do and stopped. I said no. But the game is not programmed to allow choice. I stood on that statue for twenty minutes looking around for an alternative to jumping and made several attempts to not kill Eli. So I decided to make the only winning move and hit uninstall.
I like how despite how little I've played FC5, especially in the last few years, hearing Only You play at the beginning of Deadpool actually sent me into a shock and I was looking around the theatre thinking I was supposed to do something for a few seconds
Just discovered your channel from the MGSV video. Seems like we share a lot of interests and you voice your thoughts very well! Easy sub.
Glad you enjoy the content, thanks for sticking round.
This game is honestly really underrated. i was stationed in Japan when I played it and then got my roommate to play it. We quickly got some friends to play it and they loved it as well. Extremely underrated storyline.
I hate to say but this game's story has massively contributed to my beliefs as a person
how so?
@@mattvm02 it’s a bit abstract but it’s contributed to how I view perspective
You don't have to hate it bud😂theres nothing wrong with this
@@Godloveszazauh…I don’t know man…
I like that line about how its made for me and only me. Good stuff. I subscribed.
I think dude should use it as a tagline.
Are you replying to your own comment?
Yea I'm drunk and it builds engagement. And I feel special if a creator likes my comments.
Phenomenal video. Far Cry 5 is easily one of the best Ubisoft's games imo. Joseph is definitely wrong in what he has done, but he's also human and filled with regret.
Far Cry 6's DLC explored his thoughts and past a lot more. And honestly, I feel bad for the guy. Every second of his life after becoming the Father he regretted hurting and taking freedom away from other people. He constantly asked god if what he was doing was right and would he be forgiven. But he realized that the only one capable of forgiveness is himself. So I think that's why Joseph likes to preach forgiveness but not in a sense of accepting defiance, more like giving a second chance to those who don't believe him the 1st time. Super cool antagonist, very immersive and beautiful game, I wish Ubisoft can put out something of this caliber again.
Moral- keep your rifle by your side. Never compromise your morals
The judge in new dawn is the deputy, the deputy gave in, the deputy said 'yes'.
I remember the day that my brother gave me this game for my birthday, it is a awesome game and a nice time killer. I’ve played it countless times and will continue to do so.
What the game taught me:
Antichrists are coming
Political tensions may start a nuclear war but perhals a 3rd party lights the match beneath the powder keg
MKULTRA never ended merely changes names/faces
North Korea...if a nuke was to ever get launched, I firmly believe it would come from that country
@@robbieracer3294 and i think its the middle east smuggling it across the border
@@robbieracer3294 honestly Israel or Iran would be my bet but yeah NK's pretty bad too
I always thought the section with Jacob was cool, and that it was mentioned slightly with Pratt, but the player just glosses over it, and I thought of it as a social experiment in a game. However, I did not notice in the final encounter when Eli dies, that the people didnt disappear to smoke, I thought I was crazy for pointing out these details, but it was all intended. Thanks for making this video man
I knew this game would get more attention in the future. It honestly deserves it.
I found plenty to do during my playthrough's. Wether it's finding stash's, killing peggie's, completing side quests/missions or just doing the main story, I love the game.
This is my favorite Far Cry game, I was raised in the Bible Belt and it felt like I was playing a game about my home.
9:00 the father commited murd- I mean after birth abortion.
Covid had me turning my range toys into tools and prepping like no other. I knew that was only the beginning of what is to come.
In the binding of Isaac, God stops Abraham at the end and provides him with a Ram to slaughter instead revealing that it was just a test.
I'd unironically join Eden's Gate ngl
The antagonist from 3 is Nacho from Better Call Saul and that makes him even better.
Yes it does Micheal Mando is a phenomenal actor.
people really need to read the Old Testament.
That's the only thing they ever did. Americans never knew Jesus. Funnily enough, now some are being sincere and calling Jesus woke. Christians, throughout history, never liked Jesus, they always prefered the old testament.
Main cult dude was basically a modern Jephthah
Moral of the story; use shovels as spears
This after watching the civil war movie last January and play this game I can say that I went to spent all lot of money to get my self and handgun and a rifle just to prepared myself
Go on runs regularly and get use to eating once a day
Lmao…sarcasm? Right?
@@brefy a little seeing how politics are running this country and having a president half a sleep I won’t be surprised if we actually have an other civil war need to prepare just in case
@@Connordaboss45 good point imma just eat air that’s it
@@buagzilla8519 unironically getting used to not eating for long stretches of time is how you prepare for worst case scenarios.
I know you said you weren’t knowledgeable about the Bible story mentioned but I will explain anyway.
Abraham had a son named Isaac and to keep it short and to the point, The Lord told Abraham to show his faith and loyalty to him by bringing Isaac to the top of the mountain to sacrifice him to The Lord. But right before Abraham was going to sacrifice him, the Lord saw his faith and gave him a ram to sacrifice in his place, letting Isaac live, Abraham was not scolded, he was being faithful
There’s still a divide and it’s not just on political issues but with almost everything.
Right? Theres a huge divide in people who liked Far Cry 6 and people who hated it for example, so you have a point!
Russia uses social media trolls and bots, keep that in mind
Jacob ended up being right about what was coming his methods were what made him a villain.
I remember when you had to kill Faith. I tried not to. For half an hour I didn't shoot at her. I just waited. I didn't want to kill her.
Truly one of the if not the most tragic character of the franchise and also would be the most redeemable as she is still very young and clearly brainwashed on bliss herself...
Correction: If you choose not to arrest Joseph at the end, the character will leave the compound with the sheriff until witnessing the nukes go off, but Joseph will not rescue you, and you inherently die. Thus, you are still left with the dilemma of being unable to change the outcome of the game, your destiny in life, or the moral of the story.
You may choose what path to take, having no effect on the outcome, but you will be judged by those actions anyway.
Where am I in this?

The fact New Vegas isn’t apart of your top 5 best games, is purely criminal.
>new vegas fan
ew
New vegas mightve been one of the main contributors to ruining my 2024 summer. I put a lot of faith into that game. I wasted time.
I am very glad to see appreciation for Far Cry 5, it's one of my favorite games as well and it's soundtrack is my favorite of any game.
I do disagree with you saying that nothing you do matters however. I think the opposite, everything you do matters. It is obvious that the story of Far Cry 5 reflects the book of Revelations from the bible and what I'd like to focus on is the breaking of the seven seals from that book. Joseph says "I saw when the lamb opened the first seal, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts say: come and see... And I saw, and behold it was a white horse, and hell followed with him" this is referencing the four horsemen of the apocalypse from Revelations 6. The four horsemen of the apocalypse is also a constant motif in Far Cry 5. Most people attribute the representation of four horsemen of the apocalypse to Joseph, Jacob, John, and Faith, in that order. But I disagree, while I believe some of the elements are represented in these characters (and that is intentional in order to make you think that they are the analogs to the horsemen of the apocalypse), the real horsemen of the apocalypse are the people you travel with to capture Joseph, and the Lamb... is you
When you walk up to Joseph and decide to cuff him, you are not just putting him in chains, you are fulfilling the prophecy of the cult, you are the lamb opening the first seal. If you decide to walk away you are not just allowing Joseph to continue doing what he wants to do, you are preventing the nukes entirely because you have not opened the seal. As you progress through the game you save your allies and break more seals, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th seals are broken by freeing Pratt, Hudson, and the Sheriff respectively. it could be said that the Seed family members are the seals themselves. when you arrive at the father's compound you break the 5th seal by choosing to meet him.
Then he tells you "Your friends have been taken and tortured, and it's your fault. Countless people have been killed, and it's your fault. The world is on fire, and it's your fault."
This line is what really made me realize, your choices did matter. Everything you have done has led to this moment, and it is your fault. And when you decide to fight, breaking the 6th seal, and when you defeat him, breaking the 7th seal, the world does burn, and it is your fault.
Every choice you made, every outpost you took down, every Seed you killed pushed the world closer to the brink. By choosing not to walk away, you doomed the world. Your choices did matter. If you had walked away the cult would have stayed a minor problem, but because you came, they began the reaping. Because you tried to take Joseph, your friends were captured. Because you decided not to walk away, the whole world burns to the ground.
Thanks for reading this if you did, I still really liked your video.
Really great way of looking at it from a different perspective. I like to say there are no right answers when it comes to how you view a story, only what you interpret. Glad you liked the video even with all this in mind, thank you.
I absolutely love far cry 5 that’s why I had speed run it so much the first time I saw the ending. I was like holy shit he was actually right it was weird. I remember beating it and sitting for five minutes thinking I had never played a game or the villain might’ve been right
Yeah same when I first finished it I remember not knowing what to do next I just sat there.
You thought about this quite a bit and it shows! Thank you for your thoughts here. If you don't mind, I just want to give my thoughts a couple of things.
The first is that God did not chasten Abraham for the binding of Isaac. You do clarify that you're not terribly familiar with the story so I don't blame you for this misunderstanding but Abraham was rewarded for his faith. The idea here is very psychological. As parents, we never want to see our children cry, get sad, or get hurt. But also, as parents, it's important to discipline children and allow horrible things to happen to them so they can grow. This is what's biblically known as "surrendering your children to God." Just when you think it's going to get your children killed, it usually all turns out all right in the end.
So I'm definitely not in support of the seed family cult but I wanted to touch on your critique of the illusion of choice. While I would never condone conversion by sword or torture, there is something to be said about choosing destruction. As an example, choosing not to play in the freeway seems like the most logical choice (because it is) but that doesn't mean that you don't have a choice here. We have often witnessed people we love personally choose destructive paths like drug addiction or, God forbid, self deletion. My point is simply that, just because the alternative seems really horrible, doesn't mean that there isn't really a choice. Sometimes there truly are circumstances where the choice is salvation or destruction and that's not manipulative In and of itself.
Please note that these couple critiques don't overshadow the majority of your video which I totally agree with. I love this game and its story!
I think you were super close to catching something about the repetition scene with Jacob.
The military drills combat soldier to perform actions under pressure, making it muscle memory. On the surface this is so you won’t mess up, but a layer deeper it’s done so your body reacts before you can even think about what you’re going to do.
See a threat, acquire the target, and eliminate them is a chain of actions your body completes before the little voice in the back of your head can say “wow hey slow down you’re about to end a human life”
Highly recommend reading “on killing” or “on combat” for more information about this.
14:30 actually it completed it , new down it shows u the pain that has gone through coz he carry on with his massage and duty to god
I agree, i didnt understand how new dawn "ruins" 5's ending
This video is great, you earned my sub
yooo I also made the Jared Leto joke everytime I played this game, FC5 will always be my favorite far cry
John: Choice
Jacob: Sacrifices
Faith: Smash
She was baddd
Farcry 3 captured us, Farcry 4 lost us, Farcry 5 divided us...
But the division already existed, FC5 only highlighted it.
This is in no way a open world with nothing to do. This is the first open world game I ever played and I was completely lost in the story and this game for so long. I still play it today.
Well, (IN MY OPINION) far cry secret endings always canonical and in this series villains are kind of right. Vaas war right about his family (his fucked up sister), Pagan was right about resistance, Joseph was right about the goverment and hinting for WW3 (therefore Seed's 4 bunkers). Also if you chose to leave Yara in fc6 you can see behind him or her Eden's Gate flag :)
I honestly think Far Cry 5 is amazing, and very under-appreciated. Definitely the best in the series, and the endings are one of my favorite game endings ever, especially the Walk Away ending. I think the idea that sometimes it's better to not be involved and that sometimes if things are beyond your control, it's best to walk away even if you've invested alot into something, is a interesting theme the game also explores besides the ones you've mentioned
