Ok this is the first far cry thread I could find so I gotta ask, why does the gun play seem so anemic?

I just started FC5 and the guns just don’t feel like they have any weight to them. I guess that’s the best way to explain it.

The game seems ok so far but I’m just not feeling the gun play. Does it get better?

I only paid like $5 for the game with FC3 so it’s not a huge loss if I bounce out.

Also the game should be running at 60 FPS right? It kinda doesn’t feel like it…

Well besides sniper rifles (which suck) I haven’t had too many issues. Full auto on an AR generally works quite nicely and also when you acquire things like the M14 or shotguns…especially with Incendiary rounds for the latter.

I will say that the C4 and dynamite explosions are amazing.

It should be 60 FPS on a Xbox with FPS boost checked. The loading now is like 5 seconds and the quote loading screen barely even displays before getting back to the game.

Ok maybe I’ll have to check to see if that’s enabled. Maybe it’s not checked by default.

I absolutely love the Far Cry games but please do yourself a favor and skip the DLC for 5. Vietnam is fine but the other two are actively horrible.

I thought the Mars one was good?

I’m really enjoying FC5 on the series X so far but I had to turn off FPS boost. It just makes the game too ugly IMO.

I’m not even following the “story” I’m just running around blowing poo poo up and killing dudes. I did just get a dog which is cool.

I’m sure I’ll burn out eventually but I only paid $5 for this so I feel like I’ve gotten my monies worth.

I have a sweet sniper rifle with a suppressor and pick dickheads off at range.

I haven’t played *any* of the Far Cry games, and the summer Steam sale seems like a good opportunity. Which games in the series are essential for a newcomer?

FC3 absolutely.

Pretty sure you can get 5 and 3 as a combo pack for cheap and I’d do that.

Edit ok it’s not as cheap as it was on the Xbox but I think for $17.99 you get some great far cry.

If you only want to spend 3.99 get 3.

So apparently I have 60+ hours in FC3 and I’ve completed 68% of the total game.

My last save was from 2014 and I legit forgot about that. Thank god for the cloud. I’ll give UBIsoft credit for that at least ( or maybe it’s steam).

looks like a far cry game

i'm mostly looking forward to turning 90% of the hud off

This guys video is pretty good too.

TLDR it’s more far cry but that’s not a bad thing.

Looks like fun to me.

I’m a big FC fan but I dunno I think I’m gonna wait for a sale for this one.

None of the reviews have really made me say I really need to play this.
