I am interested in it, but I am unwilling to pay full price for it at this point. Justnson't have a belief it will feel all that different than the other Far Cry games. While good, they just don't give me a level of satisfaction that warrants $50-60.
Definitely getting this. Previous Far Crys have bored me, but there's enough new stuff here to really interest me:
Pretty much, basically kept the things that were good with the previous games, got rid of a lot of the crap. Added a few new systems and quite frankly a more interesting story for me anyways.
I just find the whole setup and premise more plausible than than any of the previous far cry games. At least how you get into the situation. I had to lol a bit at the good Christians though..
Game has premium currency, but (thankfully) this can be easily acquired in-game: https://www.pcgamer.com/far-cry-5-s...s_source=steam&ns_linkname=0&ns_fee=0
Sometimes the spirit of a game can be captured in a single picture... Yes, that's me driving a semi-truck armed with miniguns.
As far as gameplay goes, I think FarCry 5 is the best version of the series. Everything has been refined to a point that it just works really well. I have some minor gripes (like objects disappearing if you walk more than a few hundred feet from them and no mouse control support for vehicles), but for the most part, it is very competent. Also, while guests are tethered to the host player (the distance is fairly generous), coop is always really fun in this open world. Also, if things get stale, you can always turn off some of the HUD indicators (such as enemy awareness to your position) which escalates things quickly. Regarding the story, it's interesting that originally it was the story, not the gameplay, that grabbed me in the advertisements. However, in practice the story just hasn't felt all that compelling. Maybe it's because for all it's hinting at some deeper meaning, there's just not a lot to it (the cult is about as apolitical as it could possibly be). Maybe its because a lot of this I've seen before. That's not to say it's a bad game, but you definitely get the sense of deja vu. To that point, I have to generally agree with Jim Sterling's summary on the matter: In particular, I liked his comment about "FarCry could be the best Ubisoft game ever made, but at this point it's a victim of increments. Am I playing it a lot, yeah. Am I feeling rewarded by it, yeah... Does any of that make it feel different from the last Ubisoft game I played..., nah, not really".
Evidently if you've got a supported keyboard this game will play effects on the RGB backlights (relevant part starts at 1m25s.)
Given his general feelings towards Ubisoft these days, this review is about as positive as he could have managed.
There's something remarkably meta about every review of this game being the exact same observation that every Ubisoft game is exactly the same.
