I want to like this, but I really don't know anything about it in terms of gameplay. Everything has really been about the story which I know will be awful and cringey because historically usually both sides ARE awful. But I guess they really want to play up Giancarlo Esposito.

General Consensus: More of the same, if you like Far Cry this is more of the same with a few new gimmicks.

Fired it up this morning. i7-10700k, 16GB Ram, RTX 2070, Windows 11 and running at 2440x1440. It defaulted to high detail settings and I've left it at that, ran the ingame benchmark, 67-87 FPS which is definitely in the desirable ranges. Default FoV is a little bleh but it is running pretty good, the only other tweaks I did was to disable motion blurring and turn off aim assist. I only had time to get as far as when you capture your first check point before I had to leave for work. From my hour and a bit I can say that the game felt good, the presentation was good and if you liked Far Cry 4/5 this is a pretty safe bet. If you didn't like 4/5 then this one isn't going change your mind.

Still crashing for me, connecting to UK now. Regarding the HD texture pack, who in the hell has 11GB of VRAM?
Anyone with an RTX 3060? ( But not the Ti )

where does this game fall in those terms? i clicked on one of those gameplay walkthrough videos and it seemed to involve a lot of tedious explanation of How to Summon A Vehicle From A Menu and that was like part 3 so i'd been expecting the game to actually be like, going by that point. not a good sign
The game will tell you to press the journal button if you want details about a new mechanic as you come across it, then the game will bring up those tutorial images you would have seen in the gameplay videos, so they're optional.

So is there any real usage for medicine / fuel / metal after camp upgrades apart from bandido raids? I upgraded all of the camp buildings before I'd even finished the 1at region quest chain and was assuming there'd be some other resource sink.

Once you've done all the camp upgrades they're either tradeable for cash until you've bought everything, or you use those resources in Bandito Operations.

I gotta say, it's probably my favourite Far Cry so far, and Giancarlo Esposito is probably my favourite Far Cry villain. Dani was great too, I think giving her a voice was definitely the right thing to do - and I like the touches with singing along with the radio to the point when she keeps on singing after exiting a vehicle before telling herself to pay attention.

the gun that shoots through walls has gotta be one of the most hilariously overpowered weapons I've seen in a game. You can just clear entire areas without any thought or effort.
Which is why it's cool the first couple of times you use it but then you switch to something more fun and engaging. After watching No Country For Old Men the the other night you bet I switched it up for a silenced slug spitting shotgun and went about ragdolling fools and I haven't gone back to the Triada set.

[edit]
Be sure to mod it for body shot damage and bonus aimed damage and resist the urge to click on heads, slugs seem to have some random deviation making it useless as a poor man's sniper. Do line up guys for fun multikill ragdoll action.

There kept being squads of soldiers at the first and land landing spots before getting on the jet ski. Eventually I got it, but it was way more annoying than it should have been.

I'm doing Treasure Hunts because i still haven't found the MG42 or M1911.
MG42 just doesn't feel as awesome as in previous games, but I kept mine modded for explosive rounds for dealing with choppers - that is until I learned about EMP rounds. The 1911 was my go to headpopper when I wanted to be all stealthy sneaky like.
