Wait, why in the gently caress not? That's some bullshit.

Their ingame justification is that it's because you're a cop and cops don't use stabbing weapons I guess???? (but yeah throwing knives and RPGs and flamethrowers are a-ok)

WOULD YOU ACCOMPANY ME ON A BRISK WALK? I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH YOU!!


I'm a bit confused on the co-op stuff with this. From what I read, only one player will get progress in their game, although the other player's character somehow gets some progress? But maybe not mission rewards?

Do we get a dog?? Like, the dog follows me around and is my friend while I wander the wasteland midwest?

I can deal with the lack of stabbing if I have a doggo

e: Okay that video was cute but how tf are we supposed to parse "Care your dog"??

I'm really close to preordering, but no knife? Am I supposed to just chain carotid chokes/necksnaps? Chain-murdering patrols was one of the most fun things in FC3/4/Blood Dragon. :unsmigghh: Devs obviously don't know that you need to gut the roadkill while it's fresh. (Not to mention the FC staple of skinning everything to make your advanced hairy smelly tactical load-bearing equipment.)

Also, how are they gonna gently caress you over for playing in the water features? I grew up in Montana, ain't no poisonous/fanged lizards around, and the trout and such aren't gonna suddenly franzy and shred anything bigger than a bug.

I think that they said that bears are the closest thing to water threats.

It makes more sense in context of the entire sentence:



"Care your dog while fighting along Boomer"

I did see a shovel in the equipment screen. That seems like it’ll be a fun melee weapon.

You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!
I was a little worried so I checked out an outpost stealth takedown+bow video on YouTube and it looked pretty much like every other Far Cry game so I'm satisfied that I'll be getting what I expect and what has been cut isn't changing the fundamentals of the game.

As long as it still has the super cool grab + throw take down chain I'm not honestly annoyed or anything, it just seems like an odd choice to have to justify.

Clearing outposts with nothing but a bow and arrow is the only reason I play these games. There are plenty of other FPS games with a bow and arrow but for some reason none of them are as satisfying as Far Cry. Kind of fine with this game being mostly identical to the other entries as long as they get that part right, and getting rid of the tedious stuff like tower climbing is a nice bonus.

Bears have like five claws per paw so you're essentially trading out carrying a knife to have a buddy with twenty knives strapped to him on a permanent basis

It really bugs me how a lot of the gun models are from 4, which were also from 3. In fact most of what Ive seen looks fairly identical to those and Id kind of had enough half way through 4. They should totally do a new Far Cry Instincts game

You get to choose your character, so I imagine the protagonist will (somehow) have even less personality than AJ.

personally I find that a good thing, reminds me of FC 2 which is still in many ways my favorite even though it is jankier than the other games.

to me the main appeal in these games is taking out outposts and exploring, most of the actual characters are kind of annoying (outside of Blood Dragon) and their personalities are best kept to a minimum

2 is still my favorite Far Cry and it’s a huge part of why I have such a soft spot for the series. It was so oppressive and grim. Exploring for diamonds made purchases have some weight, too, since I couldn’t go grind cash.

But to ask my question more directly:

I've deliberately been avoiding info about this game - do I get a dog or not? Do I get a bear?! Can I ride the bear?? CAN MY DOG RIDE THE BEAR?!?!
