Solid game. If you have played the others it is similar. The tower climbing requirement is gone. Some other cool additions but similar to the other games - if you liked them you will like this one. ----------------------------------- Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | ||

The man who was hired to write the music is known more for movies and TV shows. He wrote the songs used by the cult in the game. Some of the songs, while tailored to the group, could be used by mainstream religions if stripped away from the images used in the game. There was a story about this the other day on NPR, along with some clips of the music. There is one clip that has a link to Youtube. The story has some of the other songs. https://www.npr.org/2018/03/27...ay-cult-of-far-cry-5 | |||

I agree the production value is very high. Like any cult - 'part' of their message is correct and worthwhile. But the 'kill the unfaithful to save them' part is where they get way off-track. -------------------------------- Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

I'll definitely be picking this up. I thoroughly enjoyed 3 and 4. But I can wait for the price to drop. I'm still working on Witcher 3 and Dragon Age Inquisition. | |||

I'm disappointed that they dropped the mini-map feature in FC5 and I've experienced a few bugs, but otherwise it's good, so far. | |||

Yeah, I kinda miss the mini-map as well. I'm liking it so far. Semper Fidelis | |||

Firing the grenade launcher while flying around on the ultralite was my favorite Farcry moment. The silenced 50 cal. sniper was a close second. | |||

I look forward to playing it eventually but I always wait until games are in the $20 bin these days. I love the stealth melee kills and setting up traps for the enemies. Playing Just Cause 3 XL Edition right now. Got it yesterday from the Microsoft store for $12. | |||

some of the cut scenes are a bit long but whatever the gaming is really good though - lots of side quests and if you get bored with the running and gunning - take a break and go fishing or hunting ... --------------------------- Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

Yet you took the time to read the thread and post in it. Yawn. I will be getting this - I still do co-op FC4 missions with my buddy, so this will be fun. This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears above ground he is a protector. Plato | |||

The most childish post in this thread is yours, actually. Personally, sandbox games aren't really appealing. I've never played any of the previous versions of Far Cry.

Originally, I wasn't even interested. Then I tried FC3 and couldn't put it down. I watched from afar when my youngest got hooked by FC4, he simply would not try FC3 when I was playing. To me it was samo samo. It's a mystery how it works but you get sucked in by these games. Very enjoyable but must say that I found myself dreaming of climbing and jumping towers more than once. 0-0 "OP is a troll" - Flashlightboy, 12/18/20 | |||

I played the first Far Cry many moons ago, and thought it was very Meh. Somehow I got a copy of 2 and I dunno what it was, but that was great. Then there was Blood Dragon which was hilarious and fun and stupid and just all around a great game. Then 3 got cheap enough and I grabbed that, and it was a lot like 2, but it also had boobies. The 12 year old that lives inside me was like, "Ohhhhhh shit! Oh shit! Did you see that? Boobies!" But the jaded adult that now inhabits this meat droid was not impressed, because unless it's butt-to-butt double dongs in a pair of trannies, I don't care. But whatever, it too was a fun game. So, I'll probably get this one too in a couple years when it's on sale, after I get 4 when I decide that's cheap enough too. I couldn't really tell you why I like any of them, but I do. [politics]I am amused at leftist game "reviewers" crying all over the interbutts that the game isn't the Republican murder simulator they had all dreamed of. They are in fact finding that, like in previous Far Cry games, your objectives and goals aren't so cut and dry. The "good guy" might not actually be the good guy, there's some gray area, and your motivations could be used against you.[/politics]

I picked it up and like it quite a bit. I appreciate that you can do co-op almost immediately. I kinda miss the tower climbing, am I weird? | |||
|

Yes, you are weird. I did appreciate flipping that switch at the top of a tower that I had fallen to my inglorious death many times, though. This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears above ground he is a protector. Plato | |||

I didnt know there wasnt a risk of falling death from climbing, so I may wait on this one. I greatly enjoy it, since it was a challenge. Used guns deserve a home too | |||

there is actually plenty of climbing plenty of flying helicopters and planes parachuting and wingsuiting you just don't have to do the mandatory climb to flick the switch at the top of the tower 10x per region to get ahead... played a bunch - so far its great - again my only complaint is the 'mandatory / periodic' cut scenes which kinda interrupt the flow ... but you can skip most of them so that's good. -------------------------------------------- Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

Wingsuit man, wingsuit. I also love that you can shoot out of your parachute in this one. I have ceased driving to places, I just find a nearby location and airdrop in, wingsuit to the target and setup about 150m out. | |||
