History YMMV / FarCry4

* BrokenBase: Creator/TroyBaker is voicing the main villain. While his acting skills are certainly not lacking, some people are getting ''really'' tired of him being hired for just about every major game that's come out since ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'', similar to Creator/NolanNorth post-''VideoGame/{{Uncharted}}''.

* UnfortunateImplications: A understandable complaint is for the developers' decision to scrap [[http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2014-06-11-far-cry-4-to-also-skip-playable-female-character-due-to-workload playable female characters]] at the last minute because it was too much work, echoing a similar controversy over comments Ubisoft made for [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedUnity another game]] (although they have since clarified on that one). Controversy over the PortingDisaster of a third Ubisoft game, VideoGame/WatchDogs, which was technical issues-based, raised questions of whether the UnfortunateImplications have more to do with overall incompetence and poor resource management than actual sexism or not.

* UnfortunateImplications: The release of the cover of the game, with the blond man standing against a deity and the Himalayan setting of the game brought accusations against the developers for indulging in Third World MightyWhitey power fantasy (although since said character is actually the PoliticallyIncorrectVillain it's more likely they intended to convey the [[LoveToHate exact]] [[HateSink opposite]] -- he's also Hong Kong Chinese, something not initially clear to all viewers). The trailer released for the game also features a lot of exotic stereotypes of Indo-Nepalese culture, among which Pagan Min, a Westernized slang-speaking pink-suited EvilOverlord sticks out like a sore thumb given the traditional political culture of India, Assam and Nepal.
** There was similar outcry over the game for being homophobic over the belief that Pagan Min was a DepravedHomosexual, based on assumptions that he was a CampGay due to his bright pink suit and AffablyEvil personality. In actuality, a major part of Min's backstory is his part in a bloody love triangle over Ajay's late mother, and it's implied that Ajay is his surrogate heir or even [[HeroicBastard son]].

** Others are worried that Pagan will be an attempt to create another Vaas, a signature villain who's insanity is at odds with the rest of the game.

** There was similar outcry over the game for being homophobic over the belief that Pagan Min was a DepravedHomosexual due to his bright pink suit and AffablyEvil personality, which they assumed were part of a CampGay persona. As it turns out, a major part of Min's backstory was his part in a bloody love triangle over Ajay's late mother, and it's implied that he believes Ajay to be his HeroicBastard or a surrogate heir.

* ComplainingAboutGamesYouDontPlay: See the below HateDumb and UnfortunateImplications.

* FanDumb: There are a number of people crying PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad simply because the protagonist is not white.
** HateDumb: An equal number are calling MightyWhitey once again simply because the character on the cover ''looks'' white, ignoring the fact that he's not only the villain, but is ''Chinese.'' This line of thought is ironically laden with unbelievable UnfortunateImplications of its own, considering race and ethnicity are a lot more complicated than just looking or dressing a certain way, or having a certain skin color.
*** Among similar lines, another segment of HateDumb accused the game of homophobia, believing that Pagan Min was a DepravedHomosexual based on his pink suit (again, full of UnfortunateImplications). As it turns out, a key part of the plot is Pagan's past involvement in a bloody LoveTriangle over the main character's mother.

* UnpleasableFanbase: After FarCry3 was critiqued for its MightyWhitey plot ({{Deconstruction}} aside), they make the protagonist a local... and get hit with the above complaints instead. In any case, a lot of these complaints are based on the trailer and poster and no one is sure how the actual game will turn out.

* UnfortunateImplication: The Release of the Cover of the game, with the blond man standing against a deity and the Himalayan setting of the game brought accusations against the developers for indulging in Third World MightyWhitey power fantasy (although since said character is actually the PoliticallyIncorrectVillain it's more likely the opposite was intended -- he's also Hong Kong Chinese, something not initially clear to all viewers).
