Far Cry 3 and 4 had much better story and villains, but I predict Far Cry 5 will still do well, despite the story being incredibly bland with nothing to say / focus-tested to death / inoffensive to keep sales high among conservative gamers.
The Publishers will, of course, take Far Cry 5's success as proof that single-player games and story modes don't sell games.
