DO IT TO IT posted:

I come to Far Cry for action schlock. Do people actually want or expect Far Cry to comment on social problems?

It's a missed opportunity. 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. The devs had the chance to tell an interesting topical story and instead went with action schlock.
The Eurogamer review gave the impression that a big part of the story sucking comes from the conflict between gameplay and narrative. Someone in there clearly wanted to write serious things about cults, but the Far Cry Action Schlock™ alternates between getting in the way, breaking the tone, or simply not doing that at all. You have all these cultists, good, red-blooded American people :patriot: willing to die in the hundreds for this Joeseph Seed guy and their "family", and they bring in actual subject matter experts to inform the process, but the only explanation they give you is "lmoa drugs and hypnosis :^)". What a waste.

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.

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, !!jewishNAZI SUPERSCIENCE!! and all. There's certainly a place for this kind of serious story about cults but man, it ain't modern far cry.

Far Cry 5 is, essentially, a story of agents for the US federal government 'reclaiming' (read: colonizing) land that, to be frank, never belonged to them in the first place... and if they can cull the 'excess' civilian population in the process, all the better for them.

I think that's why I'm liking it so much.

I can put a suppressor on my M60. I'm not really a gun dude - that's ludicrous, right?

You can put a suppressor on anything, really. It might not make it whisper quiet, but it'll probably do something.

So you know that a firearm works by forcing the projectile forward with high-pressure gas, right? The way a suppressor works is it allows the gas to escape the end of the barrel somewhat less than "all at once", so it's a much less harsh pressure spike hitting the air. Human ears interpret a pressure difference as noise, so the less sharp that pressure spike is, the less noise we perceive. At least, I think that's how it works.

The spawn rate honestly seems bugged. Not only is it way too high, but it's also too close(?) to the player. Not fifteen minutes ago I was walking through an empty field, then I hear some gunshots, turn around, and a cultist is taking a potshot at some wildlife. In the field I just walked through, with nothing in it. It's painfully obvious when a plane or two spawn almost directly overhead. God help you if you go near a loving road.

This game is making me like gospel music dam it. I keep choosing to stealth takedown outposts so I can listen to that "Help me Faith" song more. (I like that the guys there also randomly sing along as well lol)

Agreeing that they need to tone down the spawn rate JFC!

the "hostile cult" gospel music is the best poo poo. like, gospel choir singing lyrics like "we're gonna steal your kids~ we're gonna save their soul~ whether you like it or not~" to a tune straight out of a wholesome sunday morning. the juxtaposition just makes it 👌

The .45-70 would really benefit from an extended magazine. As-is it feels so good but most enemies die in one shot from just about anything so there's not much point to the big bang fuckyous. I'm really liking the M1A or whatever they're calling it this time, but then again I've always been a battle rifle man.

the consensus seems to be that the man or men ultimately responsible for narrative, direction, storytelling, and worldbuilding have poo poo the bed. that would be the creative director, i think?
and whoever is responsible for the "random cutscene" poo poo needs to never touch a script again, and whoever failed to put the kibosh on that should rethink their career. that poo poo is straight out of "Tales of Bad Dungeon Masters" for how archetypically bad it is. dungeon master, as in traditional games, as in this sort of bad is older than i am how are you still doing it :wtc:

at this rate we can just say that the game takes place in the same setting as neon genesis evangelion, and the player is a ~woke~ agent trying to stop SEELE from ascending to godhood under the guise of joeseph seed's cult but they ultimately fail and you get front row seats to first impact

what about a post-postapocalypse. Like, a good few hundred years after the bombs drop, society has subsequently collapsed, dealt with it, pulled itself back together again, and is now attempting to reclaim past glories on a medieval/renaissance/early-industrial (steampunk?) techbase. All the ancient LosTech is actually just modern poo poo, like automatic rifles, handheld flashlights, super-nourishing never-goes-bad rations, stainless steel blades that never rust, night-vision goggles, ancient concrete-and-rebar ruins that are still mostly intact-ish.
