I'm pretty late to the discussion of FC5's critiques, but I'm reminded of this video from one of my favorite creators. Substitute Watch Dogs for FC5 (both by modern Ubisoft, coincidentally):

"Nothing is more frustrating than watching a game walk right up to the edge of doing something interesting and then change its mind."
Perhaps some critics wanted the game to echo their political views, or perhaps they just wanted the game to have some thematic substance and not turn a timely premise into a missed opportunity for exploration and reflection. Maybe that's expecting too much of a safe big budget project.
