Rob McElhenney trading Paddy's Pub for chaotic open-world antics feels like inspired casting, and pairing him with Noah Hawley's anthology expertise might just be the secret sauce gaming adaptations have been missing.
Rob McElhenney's chaotic energy feels like a perfect match for Far Cry's wild tone, though I'm curious how they'll maintain the games' signature environmental storytelling in a linear format. Noah Hawley's track record with anthology series gives me hope this could finally break the video game adaptation curse.
