Far Cry is an excellent series of open world first person shooter video games set in exotic locations. So far we've had games set in Africa, Indonesia, the Himalayas, Montana, and the Stone Age. Where for anyone who's played these games do you think that the next one should take place?
My favorite Far Cry game is Far Cry 4 because of the Himalayan setting. It was a beautiful game world set in a rich culture so the next Far Cry game for me should be set in a beautiful environment with a rich culture. I can think of no better place than Mexico. The villains of the game would be the drug cartels of Mexico. The type of insane villain that can be made from a Mexican drug lord would be epic.

Ubisoft is now doing an Assassins Creed game set during the Viking age. It looks stupid however; the Anglo Saxons look like Romans in the trailer. I often hate how in media involving Vikings the Anglo Saxons always get very little care devoted to them. A culture as great as theirs deserves respect.

I just watched the trailer. The Anglo Saxon warrior that fought the Viking at the end was wearing a Roman galea. I presume that the warrior was from the Holy Roman empire, and that the makers of the game don't care about that the Holy Roman empire was never actually Roman. Even the actual Romans at the time, the Byzantines, didn't wear the galea. It was a relic of the past at that point.

Correction. There were Saxons, not Anglo Saxons, in the Holy Roman empire. I watched the trailer quickly with no sound, and didn't pick up that the battle scene was from England. My comment about the galea still stands, though.
