@Manhattan_Project Why don't you explain the irony?

Far Cry 3 has a horrible story filled with uninteresting/scummy characters. Except for Vaas.
Now this irony is killing me.

@ArtisanBreads: I think Far Cry 2 makes a better job of telling that story, it creates a constant frustration on this "savior" constantly battled by the land and people. I think consciously or not, it created a commentary on modern military interventions, it remained me of Rory Stetward's TED Talk about Afghanistan.
While Far Cry 3 seems to me like a dudebro-centric story crafted in a table of marketing people, looking to appeal to 20 to 40 white male demographic.
I personally think you are giving Far Cry 2 way too much credit. Far Cry 3's story is not great or anything, don't get me wrong, and it is certainly not making any meaningful commentary, but I don't need it to. It's a fun game and has some interesting moments in its story.
I also hate the term "dudebro", and here you're proving how dumb it it because if dudebro is supposed to mean CoD, Army of Two, or the like this is not anything like Far Cry 3's story. As others have mentioned it's really most similar to a slasher flick with also the "savior" stranger in a strange land type story as well. I get objections to the latter but it's not "dudebro".
