Xander77 posted:One of my biggest complaints about FC4 (the last one I played) was that it was basically more of Far Cry 3 (or, as a nickname that will surely catch on any day now, Far Cry: Brotherhood). it sounds like they are trying to fix the villain issue buy making it basically the whole family. 1 controlling each era. the villain so far is basically a more psychopathic David Koresh with a bigger cult and a siblings. the cult is basically christian ISIS mixed with the branch davidians and prepper culture. the story isnt a linnair thing apperently, it works more like ghost recon wildlands where you just go to whichever area you want and do poo poo to unlock missions.

Tumble posted:we're probably going to get better gunplay and guerilla warfare than GW:W which is kind of ironic well yeah. i like GW:W alot but it needed "dynamic encounters" and poo poo bad. far cry has always been pretty good in that department. so yeah probaly. far cry has always been fun at least.

Radical 90s Wizard posted:Far Cry 2 fuckin owned, it got to a point where the last guy left would just be hiding somewhere babbling to himself in terror i weirdly love that game. mostly because its almost weirdly deep and hosed up in ways that the other far cry games never managed to. like everything you do, fucks the country even worse and all the factions are just outsider mercs or shithead ex goverment types looking to pry the rest of the copper wiring out of the walls. theoretically one is right wing and the other is left but it doesnt matter because they don't care. idk its interesting and the game is great. Deakul posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izA3LwuD79A he makes a great point, but that kinda poo poo is plus for me. i like games where its constant flow of dynamic poo poo and enemies pouring out of every tree/bush.

DLC Inc posted:I don't have the same fatigue to this series as everyone else since I started with FC4 and loved it. The chaos of the gunplay was great and so was the weapon customization, shooting grenades from gyrocopters, throwing meat to entice a tiger raid on a compound, doing stealth Rambo poo poo with a bow and watching a base freak out....pure fun. Even the in-game Guide To Kyrat was fun to read; they put a lot of effort into writing some fun descriptions for all the characters, animals, and areas. FC5 looks like even more with the crazy DLC to come and the map editor stuff looks to be extremely my poo poo. Ubisoft has been on kind of a revitalization lately with AC Origins/Kingdom Battle/ continued support for Siege and For Honor so I'm pretty keen on this one. i never understood the fatigue of far cry. 3 has some issues but it was solid. 4 is same. caveman cry was interesting as was blood dragon. its not like cod/asscreed(like both series) that got done to death every year. but yeah, ubisoft has been great the last few years.

Ugly In The Morning posted:The Division is pretty up front with the concept of the titular Division being maaaaybe not the best idea and it’s a good thing that directive 51 is (probably) not something to set that up IRL. its really boring in reality, basically its about emergency org charts in "of gently caress everyone is dying or on fire" situations. like if DC got obliterated and most of the leadership was dead, who would take over and how would a contingency be run. and yeah the game makes it clear that most of the damage in the game is being done by rogue division types who realizes "holy poo poo, this broken system gives me tons of power, gently caress everyone" type poo poo.

Songbearer posted:I mean you can possibly handwave it away with the superiors being well aware that the people they're sending out to die for their cause include minorities and not really caring because more crazies spreading your message is a good thing and they're expendable, the only real people mattering being the ones at the top - but Ubisoft generally aren't that savvy and yeah it's probably just to avoid controversy. Someone would definitely try to claim credit, a lot of these sort of people go out of their way to profit through legal means while hiding behind a religious facade. they are some weird christian cult think, again think branch davidians. weird dude thinks he is the second coming or end times prophet type deal. cults in general are hodge poge of sects/religion/political theories and teachings most of the time. but again, Ubisoft seems to be going for a david koresh type with out the rape and a ton more manpower, mixed with some lite prepper poo poo(which the branch davidians were). besides they are already getting flack from various sites who wanted to be it to be solely a chud killing sim. like waypoint and gamespot.

VanillaGorilla posted:As a Montanan, the argument is kinda dumb anyway. Our crazies are much more the survivalist and sov-cit type and less crazy religious. The kind of cult they’ve inserted in the game is more like the kind of extremism you’d find in the South/Appalachia. hosed up thing is with trump in office who the gently caress knows how that poo poo would be handled. after the bundy prosicution failure and the waco gently caress up, plus reacting poorly with jones town, who knows how the gently caress the goverment would react to this kinda poo poo. I mean we let nut jobs like Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints operate entire counties under their thumb.

I’m saying that’s not really that realistic either. 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.

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.

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. i can to an extent agree. like i think far cry 2 handles its subjects pretty loving well, but i doubt kuchera and friends would like that game either if it were released now a days. my point is they were expecting wolfenstien the new colossus level depth and story about the evil rural trumpists militias and what they got is a loving far cry game about cults and with attack bears and crazy poo poo, like every other far cry game since 3 because the game never promised the former.
