KujikawaRising 04/30/18 12:10:19 PM #3:	scarletspeed7 posted... It's not as out-there or as controversial as it originally looked This is a major positive, really. I read one review that docked it points for "not using it to bash Trump when it had the opportunity to" and that almost convinced me to buy the game at full price. Why must EVERYTHING have a political message? I like it much better when it doesn't and instead has a moral of the story - a life lesson that can apply to anyone. Even better when it's about entertainment like it's supposed to be. I haven't played any of the Far Cry games before. I'm not big on Duty Calls type FPSes but the ones that have the over-the-top action stuff are fun. Far Cry 5 looks more over-the-top and thus more entertaining.

LapisLazuli 04/30/18 12:12:30 PM #4:	It's fine, but...I'd say it ranks last in terms of modern Far Cry games. Villain wise it's a huge disappointment, since they spread the one charismatic villain standard they've built between a bunch of different sub villains, and as such none stand out. Also a lot of the gameplay changes especially around upgrading are for the worse. Also it's a an absolute buggy nightmare. It is minutely less broken than launch Assassin's Creed Unity. FC games aren't exactly known for polishing out all the kinks, but this one is on another level. At the end of the day, though, if you're a fan of the series.....sure is another one. Shame the story got neutered. Or worse, it was this all along and they just pretended it was something more. --- https://i.imgur.com/WuDQzsc_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium <cite>LapisLazuli posted [p:900565051] in Is Far Cry...

LapisLazuli 04/30/18 12:14:36 PM #5:	If you haven't played an FC game before then this shouldn't be the one you get. FC4 is just better on every front and is obviously much cheaper. --- https://i.imgur.com/WuDQzsc_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium <cite>LapisLazuli posted [p:900565138] in Is Far Cry...

FC4 is just better on every front and is obviously much cheaper. I've seen others say this as well. Is this a concern with the multiplayer? I don't know what all that has to offer (I've heard outpost capturing is the best part). And I know FC5 is the first to have any sort of character customization. I presume that's not very relevant in a first-person game, but... it's always nice to have. Thanks for your insight, of course. I might have to wait until it's cheaper and patched to get this one and settle for 4 in the interim... --- http://i.imgur.com/t3naEGu.jpg I'm BlueCrystalTear, probably at work. <cite>KujikawaRising posted [p:900566445] in Is Far Cry...

LapisLazuli 04/30/18 12:47:57 PM #8:	Multiplayer...I think I watched someone play that onece. It's an incredibly inconsequential part of the game. There's co-op stuff in the open world which is pretty good but really just for docking around, and that's friends list stuff so how active it is doesn't really matter. Honestly forgot the mission based multiplayer stuff even existed until you just brought it up. --- https://i.imgur.com/WuDQzsc_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium <cite>LapisLazuli posted [p:900566705] in Is Far Cry...

FC really need to evolve, because this really shouldn't be the case but it just is. Primal and BD threw coats of paint onto the same stuff. These are good games, but you can only make the same good game over and over so many times, we aren't in the NES era anynore.

LapisLazuli 04/30/18 1:39:42 PM #15:	I won't pretend part of my issue with FC5 isn't it being the physical manifestation of a coward.
