Frustrating ending (Spoiler)

[PhoenixDark]

So.... what is with the Far Cry games not letting me just kill the fu***ng villain? It was incredibly frustrating in Far Cry 5, and it was incredibly frustrating in Far Cry 6. You spend the whole game going after this piece of ♥♥♥♥, work your way up through his lackeys, getting to hate him more and more, and then the game devs are just like "nope, we're not gonna give you the satisfaction and closure you want."
I mean, at least he technically dies at the end and it's not a Joseph Seed situation where they make you buy the spin-off game just so you can get the pleasure of setting him on fire with a molotov cocktail. But still, why would you not let US kill Castillo?? I hope this isn't the trend with every game of their's that follows. It's just anti-climactic.

Well the insanity is clearly shown even in his attitude towards his only child, faced with a generous offer from his enemy. Clearly it's evident in his brain damage and ongoing mania of total purposed determination, coupled with a flow of medications distorting his visions of humanity.

It's a malignant sickness carried by self indulgence in all criminal tyrants or dictators. The ending is a shock but well written. There are still many Anton's in this real world who step by step act in a similar fashion, just have to watch the news. Ubi-Soft have nailed it very well.

Both main villains in game 5 and 6 should have been subject to your assassination, no matter the complexity! of the plot Ubi wrote.

I didn't say it wasn't written realistically. I said it was written unsatisfyingly. It's a game, not a movie. We're playing it, not watching it. Let us finish it the way a game is supposed to be finished.
I get what you're saying, though.

Felt the same when El Tigre told me they are not ready to take that one island but i was already able to get into it with stealing the heli that started there and nuked the air deffense with it.

We killed the villain in Far Cry 5, but due to the amount of drugs there you end up having a strange nightmare in which he is still alive, but then you wake up in a tower and you can leave the valley, If I were still alive you couldn't leave the valley.

In Farcry 2 the villain was actually the hero and you can join him. In Farcry 4 the villains were actually the two moron revolutionaries you get stuck with. They've just been bouncing off those two games since the stories were more interesting than 1 and 3.

I guess it's okay to generalise one game in a series to the next and so forth leading to short phrases of opinion in an open forum. However the game styles change quite radically, quickly coupled with software development opening new styles of scripts, plots and gameplay. They are all very different and meant to be. making comparisons between any in this series moot.

The changes in game development are always on the move to somewhat suit newer and more open minded players who enjoy the 'weave' or path of the next issue. and possibly 'shop back' to other titles they may have missed. That's good business.

For myself it is thinking outside the square or norm crafted by the writers and actors against what went beforehand, and in that perspective producing new story lines and 'cultures' which may surprise and throw a lot of curved balls at the player's former habits of involvement or more usually accepted game play.

FarCry 6 is the optimum and continuous pursuit of that creativity in it's game design by a well packaged production of all those parts mentioned. It has to be seen as it is. Standalone, and not compared to former historical titles from the past and previous productions in this genre.

farcry 3 was a great story, but not as good as 4.
