And go on a manhunt to kill those assholes Amita and Sabal, who iirc was gonna marry some little girl. Also it wasn’t an island... Ooh and get a sweet rear end suit like Min and a helicopter. gently caress you Ubisoft. I’m installing 5 now (I rented it from the library so no $ to Ubi). Pray for me. E: wtf kind of modern game doesn’t let you pause during a cutscene? I had to pee, the drat scene was long! Now I have to watch David Koresh ramble on again. E2: I mean for fucks sake he is his clone except with a man bun. lovely little thing dragging game down: man bun. E3: I didn’t know how ironic me saying “pray for me” was cause I never read anything about the game past a few complaints here lol E4: ok why the gently caress can’t I manual save. I’m chillin in the middle of nowhere with no enemies around. E5:Oh and then I thought a civilian was evil cause he was marked with a tag so I killed him, so now I get to go back to an old auto save OH GOOD IT SAVED THAT I KILLED HIM BACK TO THE BEGINNING FOR ME Thin Privilege has a new favorite as of 02:15 on Jul 9, 2018 |

There was just too much rape going on in that game. Like holy poo poo tone it down guys. Did any member of the group of idiot friends NOT get raped or threatened with rape?

Far cry 5 is excellent and beautiful for the first hour or two you're set out to get to murderin, then you've seen the entire gameplay loop and it's just more of the same. I could only hear Help Me Faith so many times before it got annoying. The best thing about fc5 though is the "alert" music in the northern guy's territory.

Well that ending was flat. The story to Far Cry 3 reminds me of Arkham City, only with less coherent gameplay and an even more fractured narrative. It's basically just a bunch of random stuff happening like a post Golden-Age Simpsons episode: There's Vaas and his antics in the first two-thirds, Indiana Jones with more rape in the middle, buddy antics with this german guy in the last third, the plot of James Cameron's Avatar, and a constant stream of references to Lewis Carroll. The end-result is... eh, but I do know it's difficult for a team to write a AAA game with so many complex aspects and demands to consider. The good ending is hilarious because it tries to wrap up so much in a two-minute cutscene, with one character dying in a stupidly rushed manner, that it makes Human Revolution's Choose-Your-Own-Ending machine look genius in comparison. The endgame is populated with escort missions, turret-sections, and respawning enemies. I had to replay the Satellite mission seven times because the game does a poo poo job of telling you when to fight and when to flee. The plot gets really dumb at this point because you must work undercover as Hoyt's mercenary, and you're told Hoyt doesn't know your face despite the fact cameras exist and Hoyt saw you when you were in captivity at the beginning of the game. Dying Light is superior to any Far Cry because you can skip the cutscenes, and because you can level-up a buggy by running over zombies by the thousand.

Anytime Amazing Grace is used in anything at all I think of one scene from MST3K. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdVXtPFqZlg&t=499s (start at 8:19 if it doesn't go there automatically) I hate the song with a passion, but that's because I grew up around church stuff, and it's always used.

RareAcumen posted:It's not just manual saving. It's manual saving without check points that you have to hunt down. Yeah, this is the only thing I actively dislike about Yakuza 0. I have to go to a phonebox any time I want to save my game. They're typically not more than a 30 second walk when you're in the open world parts, but there are lots of continuous action bits (and a mildly annoying stealth thing that I've come across twice so far) that go on for an hour or more without an opportunity to save. Thankfully rest mode means it is actually possible for me to stop playing in order to go and do other stuff without having to be completely paranoid that I'm going to have to redo a big chunk of gameplay. But there's really no excuse for a single player or co-op multiplayer game not letting you save anywhere at any time.

The gameplay and getting around the world and shooting and doing side stuff was great, A+++ there, but EVERYTHING narratively was the biggest waste imaginable.

As I remember it, halfway through development they decided the cult was right and built the narrative railroads from there.

Far Cry 5's story is incredibly confused and constantly at war with itself. This might make it sound more interesting than it actually is, but I assure you it's not. Still not as actively offensive as FC3's narrative though.

There’s tons of hints scattered throughout that Joseph Seed is another Far Cry protagonist, and the only reason the cult ends up being right is that the entire Far Cry series is canon from game to game and their whole version of the world is absolutely screwed.

I like The Crew 2 a lot, but they need to put something to show you which way to turn. The map is tiny and a lot of times the signs for races are too hard to see. The last game had a floaty road GPS thing, I don’t know why this one doesn’t.

OK, it’s kind of a personal theory, and there’s more that I forget right now, but it‘s really consistent if you approach the story like this: Joseph took over Hope County the same way you do, taming creatures, getting followers, violent attacks on current residents. During his big weird speech about his car crash and killing his daughter, he said he didn’t know what to do, and the Lord gave him a message, and he knew what to do, and killed the baby. My assumption is that message was “Press Square”. When you kill a general there’s something about his speeches in a dark room that seems really...player commentary to me, but I may be reading too much into that. At the end of the game he knows for sure that he can’t be killed and neither can you, and he’s prepared for it and just gets ready to work with you on whatever comes next. There’s more I don’t remember right now but considering how Far Cry 5 reveled in being really meta in other parts like the alien conspiracy guy ranting about PC graphics features, it makes sense to me.

Even 5 is really fun, if flawed. 2 is a loving masterpiece though. My thoughts on the Far Cries: 2 is incredible, 3 is incredibly fun but jesus god that plot, Blood Dragon is good (I need to really play it), and from what I've heard about 4/5 is that they're like 3 - fun, but you're going to be squinting at the stories. Which is to say, that ain't bad for a franchise. Especially since it nails the fun so consistently!
