Yes. You can select enemies through your camera/binoculars and then give the kill order.
Same with the dog attack. The dog attacks aren't stealthy like in mgs5 though, keep that in mind.

Since Assassins Creed Unity Ubisoft have had male and female enemies across a range of ethnicities, there's no indication that they've suddenly changed this because of the alt right's influence.

You're expressing actual, genuine anger at the fact a company have a diverse cast - and you're blaming this on racists. That's staggeringly naive or deliberately obtuse.

Were you one of those weirdos up in arms about black women in the recent Call of Duty?

I can't wait to crack this game open later this week.
I've heard criticism of 4 just being more of 3 and I don't see how that's an issue.

Just Cause 3 was just a more refined 2 and THAT was the best action game of the year.

A company which, historically, has had diverse enemies creates a game that has diverse enemies, demonstrated as such from day one.

The only claim of the enemy being a white supremacy cult has come from games journalists, not Ubisoft, and apparently not going this route is the fault of Trump and the alt right, which are both predated by Far Cry 5.

If you have something to offer beyond drive-in posting, please do so.

Virtually every negative review (and most of those are in the like 7-8 range) basically takes the game to task for not being a reinvention of the franchise. I get that, and it's fair, but at the same time it's kind of like the Marvel movies for me - I don't really come for a daring reinvention of the genre. I come for a refined, well-executed, and entertaining example of the genre, and it seems like the game delivers that while taking out some of the annoying poo poo (towers) from the past games.

Also it's cool to play a game set in the place that I live.

Not very surprising. It looks like a catch 22 situation: You change too much, you risk upsetting people who like what Far Cry brings to the table. You don't change enough, people say the game is stagnant.

This is kind of why I don't play every entry to Assassins' Creed despite really enjoying the series (I've played 1, 2, Brotherhood and last week I played 4 for the first time): They generally introduce a new mechanic or gimmick but the core gameplay remains the same. For some people that's enough but for me, missing some four years in a row between games means I just don't have that kind of burnout.

That's not a very lucky argument because AC: Origins just reinvented the formula and everybody loved it. It's still Assassin's Creed but at the same it's very different.

Not that I have something against good old Far Cry but just saying.

Yeah, but the change in formula was essentially to copy Witcher 3, so they hedged their bets a bit.

God of War is maybe better, and that game is catching some heat for changing things up dramatically. I think it’ll be amazing but we’re in the phase where old grognards are bitching that they stripped out the gameplay or some dumb poo poo.

Oh, fair enough. I haven't checked out AC: O so I just assumed it was more of the same. Guess I'm reinforcing what I'm trying to rebut, huh v:v:v

Who knows, maybe they'll give Far Cry the old heave-ho if they decide that this entry is the last they can get out of the formula. I'd like to see them go hog wild with the customisation and progression if they decide to mix things up - making it a true open world RPG rather than an RPG-lite could be pretty cool.

I'm looking forward to FC5 because when I got back to finishing Far Cry 4...it looked dated. Like, I thought that the game had really good graphics when I first played so I was actually surprised that it's actually gotten visually old in the meantime.

Speaking of lovely noises, I watched a video yesterday of some game play, and the noise you get when you hit someone with a thrown spade is deeply satisfying.

they've said it was a cult since the game was known about, people just assumed that because it was in Montana that Ubisoft was secretly like *wink wink*we actually mean right-wingers*wink wink*, but that was peoples own misconception's there

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?
