I have no doubt that it's just more Far Cry only now in America but... I'm not too bummed about it.

I liked FC4 more than 3 just because it improved upon everything that I found middling about it... even the story somewhat.(which I honestly never gave too much of a crap about with FC games)
It realized its strengths and doubled down.

FC5 seems to be doing that again.

I wish they had more things to actually destroy, blowing apart buildings with all of the new toys they're adding would be great but it feels like Red Faction Guerilla was a fluke in destructibility at this point.

Otherwise, can't wait to go fishing and then immediately switch gears to murderin... with a buddy!

Ubisoft owns the technology to Rainbow Six: Siege so the ability for dynamic destruction is technically available, but I imagine it's more a matter of it being tougher to design around as well as expensive hardware-wise.

I think the next console generation is going to see games looking as good as the best PC games look now, at which point graphics development will kind of taper off and we'll start seeing physics and animation start to make major leaps.

Oh man, I'd absolutely settle for destruction on the level of R6 Siege and yeah, it's likely a different ballgame entirely to have it for every building in an open world game with today's graphics.

If FC3, 4, and Primal are any indication... there will probably be a small amount of grind to craft upgrades for things but if it's as generous with supplies as those were then I don't think it'll be too bad.

Even ACO's grinding didn't turn out to be as bad as people thought it'd be.

I really didn't like FC2 at all, I've tried to like it several times and I just can't.

FC4 is probably my favorite game in the series, it's FC3 but in a cooler setting and with every mechanic much more refined... downside is the story is pants but whatever, it's Far Cry... who actually plays these things for the GRIPPING NARRATIVES?

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.

On top of that, 1/3rd of our ICBM fleet sits in the middle of the state so, I assure you, if some tattooed preacher started an armed uprising there would be more than a faceless sherriff’s deputy on the case.

since most of us don't have access to the game yet what is the problem with discussing the subject that the game is about?

Because it inevitably leads to people getting banned or threads getting closed cause goons don't know what lines to not cross, I feel like it's getting pretty close to that point already with some posters but they've since backed off or went to work or sleep.

Just chill with the politics behind it all, I highly doubt FC5 will even go that deep into the cult's message and why they're doing what they're doing.

Also, I'm sure by making this post I just self-fulfilled the prophecy. :godwin:

I get your point but on the other hand the story, cult, setting, and supposed politics behind it are kind of the main thing the game brings to the table and are the focus of most coverage, and discussion not just here but in general.

gameplay wise other than the introduction of airplanes and the absence of a few animations, it's the same game we've already played. I'm definitely looking forward to it but I don't really see anything else particularly noteworthy going on in any trailers or reviews.

maybe I missed some bad part of the thread but most of what people are saying here seems fairly reasonable?

Morter posted:

I would like to take you on a strange little trip that me and fellow goon Deakul have been engaging in, for the past 5 and a half hours in this Montana madness. I present you with:



The Ballad of Dan Stone

We met young Dan shortly after freeing some sort of car park from the clutches of Eden's Gate, and of the four fighters ready to be taken into the fight with us two lawmen, we knew he had something special about him.

And that something was a rocket-propelled grenade launcher.

At first, we thought, he was reserved and calculated. Our first mission was a car chase wherein we were in a vehicle the whole time, and Dan made conservative plinking bursts of his SMG-11 into an enemy hull, to little effect. Still, he was fun to have along for those few moments.

But then, when we went on foot, oh how things changed. Time after time, cultists in ATVs, pickups, and outright trucks would project their anger upon us, and Dan Stone was an absolute crackshot with that launcher, blasting time and time again at enemy vehicles.

Groups of enemies.

A lone wolf from 50 meters away.

No, not a lone wandering cultist. A lone prowling Canis Lupus.

Dan Stone would lob propelled grenades at just about anything we pointed him at.



Really.



Anything.

While I don't think it's a feature of this game, me and Deakul were worried that he started becoming unhinged. When he was just a rowdy youngster early on, he would repeatedly yell every few seconds about threats in an audible 'caps lock, bold, italics', often followed by a rocket that was not asked to be lobbed at the enemy. He would just open fire on random groups that spawned around us. Within the last couple of hours it was a frightening, and increasingly common occurrence, to hear "ISEEATHREAT!!!", followed by a rocket flying literally right by my head. As I was closing in on enemies--having a close-range preferred loadout--more than twice I was far enough that I didn't hear the launch, but instead the unannounced and sudden whoosh of an incoming rocket launcher that landed with a bead on my target.

His rapid ordnance launching was his own undoing as we were ambushed by several trucks worth of enemies, including a couple of flamers. While he never hurt himself with his blasts, flying debris from an exploded vehicle caught him in the gut. While he would be back in 8 minutes, we gave him a viking funeral.

He was--and is--an amazing generic fighter. He was quick to revive us, take on wildlife (he loving gibbed a dog), and keep us both on our toes because about 45% of the time he yelled "LETS DO THIS!!!", a ruinous explosion would usually follow.

:911:

:patriot:
...
:ohdear: If he's yelling at anything, for the love of god reel him in with the callback key asap.

The spawn rates are definitely way too loving high, can't drive more than a minute without running into road blocks and something that just wants to murder you.
Enemy aggression is just insane overall, I thought I burned my marshal uniform so I wouldn't be recognized and yet everyone knows who I am!

This would probably be a frustrating experience solo(but maybe not because the guns for hire are pretty fun to pal around with) but I'm having a blast in co-op, everything is just so ridiculous and it's satisfying to pull off missions without a hitch.

The gunplay is solid, enemies aren't bullet sponges, tons of upgrades and things to work towards, and a beautiful world to explore... with the promise of more content to come? I'm fully on board, definitely nabbing the season pass and maybe deluxe upgrade soon.

Far Cry Arcade on the other hand sucks poo poo right now, nothing but tiny maps or CS/COD remakes.

If they support this game half as well as they did Steep, ACO, R6 Siege, and For Honor then I wouldn't be too worried about anything.

Me and Deakul's first trip into Faith's territory not only had hallucinations but extremely baffling vehicle physics where everytime I'd seemingly exit the vehicle, it'd get shoved sideways 40 feet and do wacky slides and spins. We quickly determined we were not ready for this area...

...Until a prepper's stash led us literally 20 feet into the territory again.

The stash was in a haunted house. :hb:

This is probably one of the best co-op experiences I've had in a long time, I couldn't give 3 shits about the story because we honestly haven't even touched it that much in the 20 hours we have in it already. (we're afraid to stop the random events by beating any of the Seeds)

It's amazing how side tracked we can get just doing the side stuff or seeing how much trouble we can get into with the random events.

I can't disagree any harder on gun feel and combat, it feels better than entry in the series for me.
I do agree that weapon variety is a little sparse but I'm sure they'll add more to the game, their A+ support for ACO has me hopeful.

The Guns for Hire are so fun, I don't even care if they're broken or act goofy... it adds to the charm and they add a ton to the sandbox nature of the game.

And again, this is all in co-op, I probably wouldn't have given this game the time of day if it wasn't co-op honestly but I'm ultimately very glad that I got it and can't wait to see what else they do with it.

I just hope that they don't focus all of the post-release content on the Arcade mode.
