It probably would've done better if they'd just made the rest of the game like the opening. true. it think what would have helped is more dynamic events and poo poo. like ubisoft makes cool dynamic poo poo in games sometimes to a fault. thats what mafia 3 needed.

It's a drat sin Mafia 3 doesn't have respawning enemies/HQs/hit squads. The best part is the shooting and it's ultimately finite* *Yeah you can do those stupid grinding faction missions but the ultimate undoing of it is how far you have to drive to and from there to beat said mission. Not worth it. Pylons posted:I definitely enjoyed it, but it's the most open-world-rear end open world game ever.

Mafia 3 would have been good if they actually designed main story missions outside of the decent few that they built and then made you grind enemy outposts used for side content and called it a night. I liked the actual story, I liked the atmosphere, the cast and the dialogues and the music was great but gently caress disguising the clearing of 30 copy-pasted enemy outposts as a campaign and gently caress having to grind dozens more to unlock actually fun weapons. I kinda forgave them by the end because the ending was actually good and well made but I still remember that entire middle part.

Mafia 3 was some great cut scenes married to a terribly repetitive game. And the racism angle falls flat because you're playing a criminal mass-murdering his way through New Orleans. The soundtrack was the same handful of "golden oldies" we've heard a thousand times before, no originality to the selection at all.

lmao this kotaku article is hilarious, the guy doesn't understand fart cry https://kotaku.com/far-cry-5-the-kotaku-review-1824076892 quote:It’s weird and terrifying and unsatisfyingly explored in this epic-length game. For all its nods to contemporary politics and societal strife, Far Cry 5 is just another fun permutation of the usual Far Cry formula with nothing very interesting to say. quote:The bulk of Far Cry 5 feels like gonzo camping trip that permeates the rest of the game. Yes, people are being kidnapped, tortured, and brainwashed, but in-between fighting to liberate the residents of Hope County from this b-horror movie plot, I also spent plenty of time skydiving, swimming, hiking, hunting, fishing, and rampaging through cedar forests on 4-wheelers at night like an idiot. I’d like to say this mix of the Huffington Post front page and a Bass Pro Shop catalog ends up being complementary, but it doesn’t work, with the split between ominous main plot and absurd side adventures feeling even more dissonant than in earlier Far Cry games.

He even intimates that a drugged out boss fight wherein the boss warps around is somehow bad? Holy poo poo. Just when he gets to how fun the actual gameplay is he veers back into how bad the story is. Game journalists are the most unfun fuckers in the world now to the point where the reviewers are scared to death of admitting a thing is fun because they might lose outrage points at this not being a masturbatory right wing death simulator

I don't give much of a poo poo and I'll bet I'll enjoy my far cry. That doesn't insulate the game from fair criticisms about the shittiness of the story. You can't deny their marketing was designed to make people think about the current conception of right wing wackos - then to pull a bait and switch to the incredibly dumb "all sides are bad" argument is disingenuous. If the reviewers aren't just making poo poo up (and I'm aware they might be, I haven't played the game yet) then to call the writers out on a dumb story and ham handedness in trying to present serious topics is the job of the reviewer.

I imagine VPNing works the same as it does with every game before it. Connect to a VPN node in Australia or NZ or SK with steam closed. Open steam, (optional step of setting your download region to somewhere near where your VPN node is so you aren't doubling back to the US/UK for data; restart Steam as required), your game should start decrypting itself. You need to be on the VPN for this entire decryption process. Once the game is unlocked, launch it. You can now disconnect from your VPN. You will need to reconnect to the VPN to relaunch the game. If you attempt to launch the game while off the VPN after decrypting the first time, you may have to do the whole process over again. Don't do that.

Crappy Jack posted:Yeah, it definitely seems to be the most Far Cry of Far Cry endings yet. Unfortunately, I hate Far Cry endings. It's not even that. Don't read any of this if you want to be spoiled on the huge twist. So you moused over it. Shame on you for a lack of impulse control. It's gonna be a long explanation to go over all the little inconsistencies. Fair warning: If you pay close attention during the rest of the game it becomes apparent that the nuclear apocalypse you play through is most likely a hallucination. The same special effects are briefly visible as when you're on Bliss, you're in the company of a sociopath that has been and was ranting about the coming apocalypse for the entire game, and said sociopath literally set up the precise situation where people would hallucinate the end of the world if they were drugged when he was taken down. Said hallucinatory drugs turn out to be capable of inducing suggestibility in it's subjects. Notably, you get dosed on it moments before the fight by the villain. When defeated the villain literally quotes the part of Revelations that announces the end of the beginning of the world...which happens moments before all hell breaks loose. Tellingly, there's no indication that you're succumbing to radiation poisoning (or not just being torn apart by the radioactive shockwaves) despite a quite frankly unrealistic amount of nukes bombarding the place. The one guy that wasn't dosed by it and could set things straight that you were just tripping balls is murdered by the bad guy by the time you wake up, and the villain himself smirks moments before the group starts playing into a shared hallucination. This is on top of the other main ending, where it becomes apparent that his talk about not making martyrs of your family after you martyred his was all bullshit. The dude was going to either kill you all or get a replacement family one way or another. Because he's the sort of person who justifies his bullshit by saying that if he got away with doing something bad then it was god's will that it should be so. Hell, that's basically a fundamental part of the Seed family's moral myopia. So the resist ending is most likely in reality this: You won. No bones about it. You arrested the bad guy and his cult is straight up demolished to the point where it's non-functional. Unfortunately all your friends are dead and you're literally locked in a nuclear bunker with a lunatic who believes the world has ended. It's gonna be awkward for anyone in the cult left outside in the compound who comes down from their apocalyptic high and realizes that the world is still there. But they'll either double down like real apocalyptic cultists tend to do or wise the gently caress up and go to jail. The only possible big downside to this ending is that said bad guy may try to restart the cult by brainwashing you as one of his lieutenants. Though it's doubtful he has many of the nastier tools to do so given where he is and all the damage you've done to his operation. Plus, he's probably not going to want to gently caress you up too bad. You are his child, after all. Archonex fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Mar 26, 2018 |
