By now a lot of you will have traipsed your way through the chilly events of Far Cry 4, wingsuiting your way through the Himalayas, gun in tow. The game's setting was good, but it did fail to move beyond the blueprint left with Far Cry 3, and with this in mind, we've pondered the direction Ubisoft Montreal should take the inevitable fifth game in. Hint: #Straya.
It was the level of aggro that the often OP animals of Far Cry 4 showed that first got me thinking, but then after a bit of research in my own backyard, it became abundantly clear that it's actually criminal
any survival-based game hasn't been set on our home soil. Even just a flick through the
Meanwhile in Australia memes and Facebook page was enough, but the deeper I went down the wombat hole, the more sense it made that Ubisoft should be looking Down Under for their next Far Cry adventure.

base it across the North to NW regions from Kakadu through to Dampier.
they should use Drop Bears as the new Honey Badgers!
for towers they could make Telstra the bad guy and we could unlock their mobile towers.
They will use this them song i assume.

I'll never buy it coz uplay sux but were I to die and wake up in another person's body who lacked a brain and I actually bought it, I'd hope at least one person yelled out "CRIKEY", before you shoot him through the chest.

My idea would be Russia or some other snowy place. Could even use North or South Pole. As for enemies, you could be fighting an oil drilling company and the mercs it pays for protection. Towers could be Oil Derricks or something. It could be a bit bland visually, with just snow but it depends on where you set it. If set in Russia, half of the map could be cold and snowy plains and the other half could be wet and cold forests. Something to that effect. But not 'Straya please.

Personally, I've always thought an Australian GTA style game would be great, set like the 60's/70's type of thing. Remember that movie Dirty Deeds? I always thought that sort of setting would make a great GTA style game.

these games need something new, and a reacting and dangerous environment that isn't enemies with guns or just tigers you can eventually kill isn't it. Having to monitor insect bites and fevers and more would really create a tense experience IMO

I reckon the character we play as would need to have no identity what so ever.
make the game in the Northern Territory and Use the Myth that there is supposed to be some big underground American facility under pine gap which is more central Australia.
have police and our society.
make the story where the main character gets exposed to information about the facility, the Americans are bad guys (for once) and he has to take their operation down. so like gta and farcry interfused pretty much because lets face it Australia may be diverse in a lot of ways but the only way you get combat on a farcry scale in Australia to look good is if we were invaded or the above plot!! or maybe invasion would be better like the movie/story: tomorrow when the war began which is set in Australia????
