The Iron Rose posted:the weapons are really really satisftying to use in the little I played last night. Shotguns practically roar in your hands, it's a lot of fun. Dragon's Breath rounds are crazy awesome and crazy fun, but I've no idea how to get more of them. There's a skill that unlocks the incendiary rounds for purchase in shops, I think.

Ugly In The Morning posted:The first walk into the cult compound oozed menace, at least, and that dude bringing down the helicopter by mulching himself in the propellor sold that these dudes are hardcore into protecting Joseph. I mean, eeeesh. The intro plays a lot better if you have headphones on. The ambience of the compound surrounds you really well and the wailing and gnashing of the followers as you're leading Joseph out with the soundtrack mixed in is quite tense.

God the gunplay is good. It's way sneakier and tactical than Wildlands is and Far Cry has never really had any pretensions about actually being a tactical game. The AI is fun go up against, they will try and rescue their downed friends so you can oops and i just tried to drive-by a moose on a 4-wheeler and it did not go well. This game is great, the story and writing aren't that bad, and it's a friggin' action FPS who cares about story beyond it providing impetus for gunfights and crazy setpieces Tumble fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Mar 27, 2018 |

Bonobos posted:So assuming I have both a ps4 pro and Xbox one x, which version is the one to get for the better performance / experience? Xbox One X is by far more powerful than the 4 pro. I haven't seen if Digital Foundry put up a comparison but so far Pro runs some adaptive resolution while the X has native 4k and better framerates. Co-op is online only. Halo and COD games are the only fps' I can think of off the top of my head that have splitscreen.

Wel0, finally got unlocked and played some - didn't help that Ubi originally linked the UK preload/unlock schedule, which was different than the Yanqui Imperialist version. Running midrange graphics, looks pretty good except that is the *ugliest* loving hair I've seen in a game recently - it appears to be sculpted poo poo, for the most part.  FOV seems... off, somehow, but I'm just coming off a Fallout 4 binge, so that may be part of it. Got to watch a lone cultist scream a warning about a cougar before getting mauled, at which point kitteh started looking at me and I started arrow-to-face. Also saw (from across a river) a cultist being chased by a cougar or wolf, which was being chased by a bear, which was being chased and shot at by another cultist.  Now, I just need to find a store, get more weapon slots unlocked and figure out why the Ubi Club thinks that I played 0 hours/minutes, even though it properly registers that I started 4 hours before I quit, and also that I still don't own the game (when trying to acess the free AR skin reward). Does the "loot" flash for containers/plants/corpses only kick in at shorter ranges? With no minimap, it feels like I have to be right on top of stuff before getting any indication that I can interact with things.

"Now I know what you're thinking, I'm not going to have you climbing towers all over the county for me" Well Ubi, I guess you learned your lesson. Game is good so far? It feels different from past Far Crys and its hard to say why. It's just a general sense, I guess.

Though what else was he to do? Last time a group of armed marshals went to serve a warrant like this, we got ruby ridge. Going in with just a few local cops was as safe a move as any. But who cares about doing a tactical breakdown and analyzing escalation of force? Cultists be cultists and killing them is best. Also interesting, I still have Outlast 2 on my wishlist and it just went on sale...

So my hope for this is "Don't give me plot, I don't care about plot. I already know everything I need know about these assholes, just give me enough ammo to send these fucks to oblivion and let me do my work. Any plot greater than the preamble to "Bad Dudes" is unwelcome and I don't need it."

It does not feel good, and I've liked every far cry except 2. Also not really digging the location after an hour. As a British Columbian it's too similar to what I see outside. And having to choose between a bow OR an assault rifle sucks. Really hope it picks up...

Removing the XP-for-action system was a great move. Now you don't feel like you're loving up if you ever go loud because you lose out on all that sneaking/headshot XP.

I like having Nick just circling around above you while you dick about, and if anyone so much as looks at you funny he swoops down to murder them. I also like the way if you pick up a weapon in the wild you own it at the shops, and silenced shotguns. They dont suffer any range or damage penalties, its great. e: I am very dumb.
