Well, the swearing I can agree didn't really do much for the thing. Still and all. It's supposed to run in connection with the first, and there were shots shown of a younger Pey'j last year. So, the suspicion is a prequel, even though it IS named "2". Oh, and you know, the video...I mean, what better than a "chavpanzee" as I saw it described? Just hilarious.
(Edit:)Oh, and did anyone else notice what the pig says when Knox hands over the swiss chocolate? "Pey'J"...

FC 4 was no better. You have the choice of shit ending 1 or shit ending 2, depending on what you've chosen earlier in the game. Well, and the hidden "completely different ending 0".
FC5 at least looks like it has the potential to have an ending that doesn't shout "All life is shit, get to know this!" Hell, you're apparently supposed to be able to just cut loose and go fishing for a couple hours. Which, you know...if the game is to the level that testers literally DO that...I might actually feel some interest.

>I care exactly zero about WW2 Call of Duty, so that's a wash.

Well, I've entirely and utterly lost interest in either BF or CoD since about 10 games ago. Though I MIGHT pick up BF1 in about a year, in order to see what, if any, single-player campaign they have, what with the WW1 setting.

Now, if they could just remake the FIRST Crimson Skies for modern machines...because that was one of the best damn games ever.

OH, yes. Absolutely. Soon please?

>I actually give a negative amount of craps about Assassins Creed.

Well, I used to like them. Then I said that, you know, enough. Not doing this any more, not worth it. And then came Syndicate. Which, you know, Victorian London...yeah. But, that was it. Now, the latest LOOKS good and all, and, well...moving in the other direction, as it was, AWAY from newer and cooler tools...yeah, ok, good idea. But no.

While I want a reasonable racing game with a story. Which precludes most any "circuit racing game" because the story just isn't there. A nice "car-based heist game" though...yeah, sure. Hey, look at how the "Furiously Fast" movies hit a note with people. But, to each his own.
