Any gamers tried Far Cry 5?

[RblDiver]

Have any of the video gamers on the board here tried Far Cry 5? If so, what do you think about it?

I've never played the Far Cry series myself, but have been somewhat interested. However, with what I was initially seeing on Far Cry 5, I was thinking that it was going to be insulting "flyover country." However, this guy says it doesn't, and is actually reasonably balanced all things considered. This makes me actually curious about it now, and wanted to see if any others had played it and whether I should pick it up.

Finished Far Cry 5 last week and sold it.

Good:
More dense map. It means you spend less time in traveling.
-More fast travel.
-Good game mechanics.
-better weapon accessory options.
-better buddy systems.

Bad:
-Shorter game.
-Annoying (too frequent) boss kidnaps/hypnosis/respiratory hallucinagens.
-all 3 endings.

I am still happy that I played Far Cry 5, and currently playing Far Cry 4.

All the mainstream gaming press is mad that it doesn't signal lefty virtues hard enough.

Hard pass.

As we discussed, Far Cry 4 is really the only game I've ever played all the way through (except Zelda and Mario) and is my favorite FPS ever. How far are you so far and how do you like it compared to FC5?

If you've played the other Far Cry games and liked them, you'll probably like this one. It doesn't make a political statement beyond a bit of satire; there are a few caricatures of conservatives and "gun nuts" but it's nowhere near as extreme as some of the folks that post in GD at the other site. The game feels less serious compared to the previous ones, there is a lot of GTA in it. I like this one a bit more than FC4 but not as much as FC3.

Uh shouldnt that mean that you like it for not making the leftists happy? I know other gun folk and gamer folk that are proper Trump loving shit lords that all like it. Certainly more silly action fps with funny bugs etc. Nothing like a throwing shovel as a weapon.

I havn't played it myself since I'm still looking at like a 40 game backlog.

After reading the review I actually want to play this and I don't really play video games at all.

Do it, Far Cry is badass.

I am about 12-13% on FC4. FC4 is much bigger game* than FC5. I like FC4 storyline much much better than FC5 story. Just gameplay alone, i do like FC5 better than FC4.

BTW, I became a gamer due to AMD investment around late 2012. Lots and Lots of gamers was teaching me about technical aspects.
"You got to get into games to understand all the technology man..."

*= at least to me it is.

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
