I had my wife play it to see if we should get a second copy of FC5 so we could play co-op together. She ended up playing til 1am last night.

Dapper_Swindler posted:waypoint wrote a bunch are articles about how "annoyed" they were that they weren't able to shoot Chuds and poo poo even though the game never made that case. that article says more about austin walker(who i usually like) then it does about far cry 5. he wanted it to be The New Colossus/mafia 3 but with trumpists and it wasn't'. so he is irritated about it. That's really disappointing, but also not entirely surprising given "we're woke gamers, RESIST" is kinda Waypoint's whole gimmick. GiantBomb streamed a bunch last Friday and I'm pretty drat excited to play this.

Woke journos suck rear end because they are usualy really bad at either explaining their points and or coming off as angry shitheads because the game didn't pass their moving goal line. they think every game should be some art house master piece if it every has any kind of controversial aspect to it. Tim Whatley posted:Speaking of woke gamers jesus christ. the wokes journos really hated a game because it didnt suck em off. who'd thunk it. also they are mad that the game has humor. because every far cry game has been some super serious deal. loving jack asses.

Just to maybe add onto what's been said: Far Cry 4 is indeed really good, but I don't think you can do any story mission in co-op. You can run around, take over outposts and everything else, just not story missions. Still a very good game and a good co-op experience, but you might have to play single-player every once in a while to progress the (bad) story.

I can see how they could have done it, but they didn't do it. I can see why they didn't do it, y'know, social/political commentary in the modern age is a loving quagmire, but I'm still disappointed. Gumball Gumption posted:It's a good review. Pretty much the game is good, the story sucks.

What a waste.

You can run around, take over outposts and everything else, just not story missions. Apparently it'll be similar in FC5, you can play the whole game in co op but only the hosting player gets the story advances. If two people played the game for the first five hours, the joining player will start back at the beginning when they started their own game.

His issue doesn't seem to be that but with Ubisoft making a game that uses politically charged imagery to sell their game but backs down from actually saying anything about it.

Yeah that's what I was on about with the whole gameplay/narrative thing. You can't really do "serious poo poo" story and "attack bears" gameplay at the same time, it clashes. Take Wolfenstein, both the gameplay-nazis and the story-nazis are over the top comedic villains, !!

the only story beats I cared about in Far Cry 4 were the moments with Pagan Min and the exhaustively interesting "Kyrat Guide" which had really amusing writing about the wildlife and characters therein. Everything else was pretty much adequate and I did like how you were forced to confront how both factions helping you out were very lovely in their own ways. I'm hoping FC5 at least has some kind of triangle of mistrust as well.

I definitely enjoyed it, but it's the most open-world-rear end open world game ever. It probably would've done better if they'd just made the rest of the game like the opening.
