Far Cry 4 is coming and it looks awesome. We loved the idea of it being one of those awkward reunions where people know you but you don’t know them. One of those people is Pagan Min who is more than just an eccentric villain.
Here is a new video from Ubisoft about the upcoming game and why it’s going to be even more awesome than you thought:
For the non-video viewing among you, we find out that Pagan Min actually wears the pink suit as an homage to his mother. As such, if you laugh at his suit, you’re actually laughing at his mom. Somehow, I don’t think that it would be a great idea to make fun of that man’s mother.
Additionally, the main character, Ajay Ghale has a surname that means something on the island. We don’t know exactly what his role or his family’s role was, but it sounds like it was important.
All in all, the game is shaping up to tell an interesting story. Far Cry never shies away from touchy subject and I have a feeling that this one will push limits even more. The open world environment will be key in the story-telling, with plenty of exploration and discovery for people to sink their teeth into.
Are you ready for a new villain? Do you think Pagan Min can compare with Vaas, or will he help take the franchise to a whole new level? I love how Far Cry seems to have the most interesting villains – it just proves that Ubisoft can make interesting characters when they want, they just choose not to in games like Assassin’s Creed 3 and Watch Dogs.

Ohhh, compare to Vaas? NEVA! But, he can be his own entity, a different madness. Madness IS VAAS. He described it perfectly. Still, looking forward to this game very much so.

Though, Vaas wasn’t even the main villian

Sadly no. The main villain was nothing on Vaas.

Main villian was weak, but it’s better so. If Vaas was the main villian the island would probably have been a barren wasteland lol

Yeah I was kinda disappointed when he kicked the bucket. Was really hoping he would come back.

I won’t lie at all, that little bit of gameplay of Pagan really made me hype…He seems like a very deep character. He doesn’t seem to be what I initially expected…

The creative director of Assassin’s Creed 3 is also Far Cry 4’s creative director, no?

Far Cry’s villains gets more people to the game than the protagonists…

Like that it is a new type of crazy.
Hope the wing-suit experience in the snowy mountains is something like this.
