Any gamers tried Far Cry 5?

Hm, good to know. I guess I'll probably pick it up, but as per usual I'll wait for it to go on sale. Thanks!

I have a buddy that develops for game companies. I helped him work out bullet drop physics a while back when he was working on a game called BioShock... I think that was the game anyways.

edit: yep, that was the game

Which might be funny, because to my recollection, Bioshock has virtually no bullet drop in it. It's a pretty close ranged pseudo horror game.

There are games that do mimic ballistics pretty decently, that actually have weapon zeroing etc for range rather than just point and shoot at crosshairs no matter the distance.

I think it was version 2 of the game if that makes any difference. I do know for a fact that it is built into the engine though. Again I don't really play video games so I have no idea.

I played it, also finished it last week. Solid game, good gun play, improvements over previous Far Cry's (minimal), not hardcore at all, good time in it. I was worried it would be hyper political as well, but it really wasn't. I'd give it 4/5 for Far Cry games.

Fun but after a short period of time its absurdly easy. That said worth playing especially if you wait for a sale.

I’m maybe 20-30% through FC5. I don’t see it having the same level of playability as 4.

I usually only play Call of Duty durning it’s annual release and not much else. FC4 was the first game in a while I really got jazzed about.
I killed many an hour playing all the side missions and cleaning up the map. I don’t feel like 5 is going to have the same level of depth. It’s stupid easy compared to the last but at the same time it’s very stingy with the perk point to enable tasks.

I’m a casual gamer at best so I’m glad I found a presale price of 44 on amazon. Not worth the 60 bucks for new releases IMHO.

I loathe buying "new" games because of the price and the hype. I still am playing GTA5, Counter-Strike, and a couple others here and there. I broke down and bought FC5 and have never played the series. Overall first impression after 3 hours game play is that it's a decent game. Seems a little easy since you can "hire" helpers, and just use them to do a lot of the killing. But for a big open world game, it seems pretty good. I like the fact that there are so many options to choose from as far as "missions." Do I want to blow something up? Do I want to take over a town? Do I just want to screw around and drive a truck any where I please?

As of right now, I am not having buyers remorse for the game. This is my opinion, and opinions are like *, every one has one, and it usually sticks and backed up by sht.

Do the challenges with the various weapons as well as the prepper stashes. I'm only half way through the second siblings area and damn near maxed out skill wise with 50k in the bank.

I think I only used the hired guns once in all of Far Cry 4.
