finished New Dawn, pretty good I liked it. almost completely washed the bad taste of 5 out of my mouth and somewhat redeemed its dogshit ending.

im in the loop zone still so I figured I’ll try Primal, never played that one and I do like chucking spears at people

yeah that’s still dogshit. but if I imagine new Dawn as just act 2 and 3 to FC5’s act 1 which i am, reframing my perspective on rook as a passive loving loser with no agency who’s ultimate fate was being a weird manslave kind of reconciles the infuriating narrative experience. the constant kidnapping and silently letting every single person they meet monologue, brainwash, and generally bully them throughout FC5. now he’s just a loser from act 1 whose incompetence set the stage for the real man to roll into town and sort this poo poo out. The fuckin Captain

of course my rook was a dude, it doesn’t really fix the rapey vibes if you played as a lady

also thinking back, is the Captain easily the best FC character (outside of Rex Powercolt, obviously). takes the least amount of poo poo, gets actual super powers, only tolerates a handful of stupid villain monologues, all of which he isn’t made to be a chump in; Squares off outnumbered and catches that grenade pin like a boss, snaps the cuffs and beats the poo poo out of them mid-captured monologue, walks back in and executes their entire organization leadership after eating dinner with them, finally in my case blows seed away with 0 hesitation when given the chance.

And most importantly actually, definitively, wins. crushes all his foes, makes things unquestionably better, and is beloved by the people for whom he’s built a small city

all hail the Security Captain, a king

I've still never played New Dawn, I think I was burnt out after playing 5. But now I'm replaying 5 I'm surprised at how much fun I'm having with it.

The best use of super old sam so far is when he shows up in the rainbow six siege anime trailer to get injected with nanomachines son just to kick the rear end of some rookies and show them how it's done

I finished ND the other day and liked it a lot. The only thing that irked me was how often the companions talked. Like, I love you Hurk but you need to shut the gently caress up about your beautiful arms.

it may haven taken me 3 years to get here but I have to agree with the posters here that new dawn washes away a lot of the stink left behind from FC5. Although it didn't change my mind on pre-ordering a FC game ever again.
