They should ditch the text from the load screens and just let me watch the incredibly serene animated backgrounds for 5 seconds.

I'm sad there are no armed vehicles with the automatic grenade launchers in this one. Especially if they were one of those off-road golf cart things, which are super fun to drive for some reason.

So I took the repair torch skill over lockpicking, and for the life of me I can't see why lockpicking exists when the torch does the same damned thing.

I remember loving Far Cry 3 so much because it changed my concept of what Sniping is in shooters with the Bow. Now 5 has done it yet again, the new most satisfying form of sniping in gaming is here.

Just picked this up today. Game is fun and quite beautiful. It’s a shame they had to fit it on consoles so the type of NPCenemy and NPC dead is limited (there are like 4 or each type I’ve seen so far). But the world’s beauty and the depth of combat makes up for it. Honestly my only real complaint so far - just a few hours in - is that the setpiece quests are insanely difficult. In the main game, I can do the job a hundred different ways. Bombs, traps, sniping, stealth, companions, luring one at a time, parachuting in and literally raining hellfire... but in the story quests it’s all run and gun. Mow down ten waves of identical overalled dudes. Did you bring a good load out for that? I hope so, because the draconian save system will ensure you can’t go back to an earlier save. I brought a sniper rifle and the hunting bow to one of those missions and as a stealth character, it’s pretty frustrating. I’ve died eight times on this one alone because I am not able to use any companions, traps, environmental features, or stealth. Ugh. Overall though I like it!

The ending is one of the most terrible endings in a video game I think i've ever witnessed. Everything up until that moment was pretty cool though.

Professor Bling posted:I mean, it's absolutely this. buuut at the same time, there are a bunch of indications that either of the main endings involve the cult/Seed successfully completing your indoctrination/drugging, and the nuclear attack (or the weird abrupt end if you back off) are just the result of different forms of brainwashing kicking in-Seed ranting about fire and brimstone in the former, and the song on the radio in the latter. Which is, arguably, worse. The game can't even commit to its nonsensical nihilist ending, so it has a few ambiguous ones. Sidenote, I cannot emphasize how incorrect this game gets cults, after the devs released that "we talked to cult experts" promo line.

I actually missed the gross field surgery bits this time around. Anyway, review: This game was basically drawn and quartered between all the different things they were trying to achieve narratively. Unlike 3 and 4 (and to an extent, 2) you have a functionally featureless player character, the better to facilitate Fashions' Souls drop-in co op or whatever. There is also a greater focus on the big bad's various dragons and their specifically unspecific psychopathologies. However, the replacement of Far Cry 4's fort assault mission chains with story-triggering chaos thresholds puts the game in an exceedingly bad position with regard to its narrative. In Far Cry 4 you had to do all those loving Yogi+Reggie drug trips (god Ubisoft loves their drug trips) to get to a point where you found De Pleur, but you got to learn about De Pleur in those missions. The whole sequence with him in the trunk of your car is more sinister and effective in establishing character and tone than all of the cutscenes from Far Cry 5 put together. FC5's villains (hell, most of the good guys) are barely coherent, which isn't helped by the monumentally, catastrophically bad choice to build cutscenes around those nonlinear thresholds by knocking you out and bringing you into captivity for some incoherent expository horseshit. I was literally basejumping out of a plane and moving at over a hundred miles an hour over the mountains when one of Jacob's crack shot archers managed to pick me off and bring me in. For all its gross orientalism, Far Cry 4 at least had Pagan Min and while he wasn't much different from every other talking killer of the franchise, his relationship to Ajay Ghale was unexpectedly complicated and it added something like depth of pathos to the game. None of the villains in Far Cry 5 are interesting, and that's in large part due to the fact that the Eden's Gate cult really feels like it was designed to be as non-specific and unidentifiable as possible. All they had to do was exaggerate your run-of-the-mill pentecostal / charismatic Christian prophetic tradition (and not exaggerate it much!) and they could come up with a really terrifying quasi-xtian doomsday cult. But I can't place Joseph Seed in any tradition, he just uses a lot of words that signify "Christian fundamentalist", but he's decidedly un-christian enough to ensure the cult can't be taken as a critique of fundamentalism. He makes reference to corporate greed and government corruption (there are even a few extremely oblique references to Trump throughout the game) but Eden's Gate has no political positions. Jacob's all about social darwinism but there's no sense of how it fits in to the Cult's ideology. They have no ideology, they have no program. They're just raiders and slavers.

I have to say there was far less environmental storytelling than I was expecting - there was one really good bit in Faith's region where you find letters from different people all addressed to Faith and it's confusing til you realize that the Faith you see is the last in a long line of women to take the name before ODing. Beyond that it tends to just hick-based comedy phone messages or a million variations on "the cult's coming, better clear out"

After doing the haunted house, I suddenly wish they'd explored not all the Resistance being paragons of virtue more. It makes the model re-use in the barn less comical and more creepy when you find out the owner was actually gutting people and stuffing them. Plus that wasn't a ghost \ dummy at the window. There's a still lit cig on his desk, and the back window is wide open.

I totally missed that  was there a note or something?Also, speaking about lock picking and keys: in one of the early bunker missions I found John's key. Didn't know what to do with it at the time. Then later, when I killed him, I picked up that key again and then was able to get into the bunker. Did I miss a door the first time or something? Why is that key there if it'd useless?

Also, if you grenade a bear, its pelt gets mangled and is only worth $5. But watching a drat bear go flying, limbs akimbo, with a big dumb frothy look of shock, is great.

I thought the Faith sections were exaggerated but nope, they’re really that mind numbingly terrible. She wouldn’t leave me alone too. I was trying to fish and her image would not shut up behind me. It’s sad when you’re desperately trying to ignore the villain because battling salmon is far more exciting.

Be economical, throw a melee weapon to save a bullet. I've managed to escape plot water-boarding in Jacob's and Faith's area by fast travelling before the fade to black happens but now I need to cross into those areas to finish the hard fishing spots.  I can't shake the feeling of oblivion psychic guards when I'm fishing in a lake high up in the mountains and some cultist hunters have spawned in on the other side, face first into some bears. The game can't stop spawning fights while I'm fishing. shut up blegum posted:I totally missed that That key in particular is there if you don't have lockpicking during the escape story mission, it's just a key to a closet with some ingredients and supplies. But the game doesn't take away everything in your inventory so I was already hopped up on all four drugs punching everything to death holding down W by the time I strolled past.

Oh there's a touch of that serial killer vibe in other places. In Faith's region next to the Administrator's Cabin there's a boarded up shed with a ringing phone in the centre on the floor, you pick it up and it's just a woman sobbing on the other end. I don't know if it's part of a greater environmental story, or just like the murder god masks from Far Cry 4.
