Far cry 5 is the most boring game i have played in years!.

[sXeth]

Hoyt, the villain so charismatic everyone in this thread probably had to look up which one he was again.

The only reason why I remember Hoyt's name is because he was unfortunate enough to replace Vaas, who was a vaastly superior villain.

Pun aside, my point still stands.

OP: Far Cry 5 doesn't interest me. As someone who completed Far Cry 4 literally 2 weeks ago, looking at FC5, all I can see is more Far Cry 4, which was ultimately just more Far Cry 3.

Its getting pretty silly, to be honest. The differences between Far Cry games these days are about as incremental as the difference between the Ezio trilogy AC games.

Frankly, I find it quite bizarre that FC5 got as much praise as it did.

Glitches aside (and the whole stupid thing with the forced captures so the villains can monologue at you half a dozen times and somehow never actually kill you, and the dumb plane enemy spam that constantly interrupts everything), it is a step-forward.

Some of the gunplays been smoothed out. The companion AI isn't totally braindead. Melee's gotten a minor rework (though its still garbage). The planes themselves are a new addition (though the planes, and especially the helicopters suffer from awful camera placement). Co-op is actually functionally integrated into the game (in 4 you could only do a handful of the open world things). The map editors pretty nifty (although trying to play any specific map is a nightmare of nonsensical interface and a horrible voting system setup in multiplay).

It is incremental though. Even with Far Cry's being out 2-3 years between, you'd have to hop multiple games to get much sense of it being a fresh work. And even with the 2-4 year gap before 5 (depending if you include Primal) there was GR:Wildlands using much of the same concepts.

I didnt know there was a setting to turn off the markers and I've 100% the game. Also the game isnt remotely linear, you can meet the villains as you choose. You could totally play for an hour and meet 2 of the 3.

Maybe in the second hour. It takes about an hour to go through that tutorial. And since B-Cell is complaining about liberation missions, how did he find the time to do all that and to meet the characters? He's clearly lying. He probably just watched a Let's Play or a walkthrough.

He's infamous for lying about playing games. Remember, he claims that he spent the 80+ hours required to beat Witcher 3, a game that he hates more than proper grammar.

but my friend i beat far cry 3 twice because i like that game. not much but still. i couldnot play far cry 4 more because it was boring and shangrila part was worst. i couldnot play far cry 5 for few hours because its unfun version of just cause where you rescue hostage and liberate town.

If i want to liberate town. i rather play just cause and its fun to jump and blow out.

I beat witcher 3 because at that time i had nothing to play but its been 3 years. plus its not my most hated game. its just most overrated. i enjoy some parts thought. it was 6/10 game.

Far cry 5 is far more boring and dull. its MGS5 all over again. and i just went back to far cry 3 after long time and still feel better.

Far cry is just like assassins creed. copy and paste with only one good game. when AC has black flag far cry has FC2 and 3 which imo are only good ones. everything else is just copy and paste. because ubisoft are lazy.

Look at what 4A are doing with Metro Exodus. definition of how to evolve sequel.

Now im seriously worried about next splinter cell game. if it turn out another assassins creed or far cry clone.. just look at wildlands.

That's an ironic thing to say considering how all your replies are just that, copy and paste. You're Ubisoft in human form.

 

[Lufia Erim]

You're saying that the villains aren't charismatic yet you think that the villains in FC5 are nice and not hated all, you see the contradiction?

my point is. Vaas and hoyt were psychopath villains that can be hated. vaas especially was crazy villain.

FC5 villains just sound like waay too nice to be hated. main character is non existance and villains sound almost right at all.

I must have forgotten that forced religious conversion through torture is right. Same with crippling drug addictions which culminate in things like complete loss of self and suicide.

for a cult leader. ubisoft show a terrible job to portray them as hated villain. thats my point. not a forced conversion.

Did you even play the game? One of them tattoo your sin on your body, cuts the part of the skin out and staples it on walls. And if you refuse they threaten your family.

One drugs people, make them turn on their own family and friends, makes them walk off cliffs and they're essentially irreversibly brainwashed.

One brainwashes you subconsciously, making you kill people, strongly believes in survival of the fittest and kills anyone beneath him.

Then there's the leader who started it all, the guy who shoved his fingers into some guys eyes because he was filming a service.

Do these people seriously sound too nice to you?

only for one hour. .

Annnd all credibility is lost. GG. Thanks for playing.

check out this video. highlight every problem in this game.

its even worse than far cry 4 which i already hated. even healing animations are gone and replace with regen health.

I'm not gonna watch a 30 minute video just because you're incapable to form opinions of your own, you do this with every game you dislike. I'm 99% sure you just search ''Why is *insert popular game here* bad'' on YouTube and pick the first video you see.

Also since you always bring up gggmanlives and worthabuy to prove how bad a game is, here they are recommending Far Cry 5:

But you're in favour of health packs over regen health. The system in Farcry 5 only regens out of combat. In combat, you have to use limited health packs.

You're so full of it. Just stop, almost everything you say is a mix of lies and other people's parroted opinions.

Yes you prove my point. gggmanlives and worth a buy i watch and decide to play far cry 5 and got disappointed. its all because of them. and its waste of money and time anyways.

mack from worth a buy is becoming more hypocrite. I used to like him and still like his reviews but still. he always bash games with xray vision. praise far cry and claim its one of the greatest series around there. he also praised battlefield 1 campaign not even hardcore battlefield fan love single player.

he claim prey and titanfall 2 are best games since half life 2 which is lolworthy as he missed tons of games.

he hate modern gaming yet claim modern warfare 2 is pinnacle of COD in one of his video

He hate siege yet praise vegas which is definition of arcade cover shooter market as tactical shooter.

he also claim in his Doom review that its soulless moronic shooter. and in same year praise BF1 campaign as something I never played before.

 

[stroopwafel]

I think FC5 is missing the magic Far Cry 3 had. There are some good parts about it, but I don't think it's a good game. Story wise, FC3 nailed the character's place in the world. He was a soft party boy who had to conquer the jungle to save his friends, but in so doing lost himself. He had to become a killer and monster to defeat the bad guys and we saw Jason progress all the time. As a hunter, as a warrior, as a character...I don't feel any of that in 5.

That was something I only noticed when someone pointed it out. Indeed, the premise of a soft party boy taking on legions of armed soldiers is so ridiculous that any 'progression' of the player character is something I can't really take serious or even pay attention to. And that basically goes for FC3, 4, 5 and even Primal. They are just really fun open-world shooters and of those I think FC5 is definitely the most refined. The outlier I guess is FC2 which was steeped more in a kind of gritty realism but the game itself wasn't necessarily more fun. But all these games are great. Far Cry is the one franchise where the Ubi formula actually works.

 

[B-Cell_v1legacy]

Okay so I've omitted the ones which were actually pretty complete in being a self contained point instead of a vague meaningless B-Cellism. Lets get into the ones which were B-Cellisms.

Spoiler

overhaul of gameplay instead of copy paste of 3.

Overhaul of what? Into what? You cant say stuff like this and be taken seriously, because you're not actually saying anything.

better story and characters

You've admitted to playing the game for an hour, and think that John is a harmless preacher and Faith is just a pretty girl. So you get 0 points for this one, because you have no idea what you're talking about. Note Im not defending the characters, Im just saying you have established that you arent qualified to assess them.

better world like that were in 3 and 2

Again, what? You've said nothing. What's a 'better world'? What does it entail? In this just you parroting the complaint which its just rural America? Which is an odd complaint to you because you live somewhere where rural America is an exotic locale!

better day night cycle system with rain and different weather effect

This is a mixed one. Weather effects is...an articulated point. But what is a better day night system? The time of day changes as you play? What is a 'better system'?

better physics that were in 2 and absent from 5

Another B-Cellism. You've said nothing. Expand on what your complaint is. Give us examples of where the physics fell flat in 5, but excelled in 2. Articulate your point instead of saying nothing. Note that when you expand on this, you cant double dip. So no mention of gun jamming or weather effects.

Maybe together, we can actually have you voice a real series of critiques instead of a bunch of hollow nothing negativity.

The differences that stood out to me which I thought would?ve been mentioned by now were from a video Samtemdo8 posted in the other Far Cry thread. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.1051727-Poll-Is-Far-Cry-2-a-Cult-Classic-now#24229583]

Seems like they traded greater technical details for fancier window dressing.

 

[Smithnikov_v1legacy]

I am just excited for the Vietnam campaign and the Zombie apocolypse one.

Seconded and hard.

 

[DeliveryGodNoah_v1legacy]

This topic took no time at all to establish B-Cell has no idea what he's talking about.

And it's pretty obvious that he's lying about playing the game at all. He complains about no variety in the game while gushing over Far Cry 2. And that game has a PhD in repetitiveness. Far Cry 5 literally has more variety than any other Far Cry. There are far more activities that you can engage in and ways to tackle missions. He's lying through his fuckin' teeth again.

Far cry 2 does have problems like respawn outpost but it just more fun to play than later games in a series where you tag enemies and see thorough walls.

from what i have played in few hours of 5 so far. if it doesnot become better in future it would be waste of time. im just rescuing civllians and liberating places.

Alright look, I will ignore your mass simplification and instead humour you and pose a question:

What do you think Farcry 5 needed, which it currently lacks? Answer this question from A: Gaming in general, and B: Things that were in Farcry 2.

Spoiler

overhaul of gameplay instead of copy paste of 3.
no more tag enemies and see thorugh walls
better story and characters
better world like that were in 3 and 2
weapon jamming system from FC2 bring immersion, removing it was mistake
better day night cycle system with rain and different weather effect
better physics that were in 2 and absent from 5

-overhaul of gameplay instead of copy paste of 3.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. There's very little wrong with Far Cry 3-5's gameplay. You're going to have to be more specific than "overhaul". That's meaningless.

-no more tag enemies and see thorugh walls

99% sure you can disable that in the options menu, as you have been in nearly every Far Cry since 3. This point is invalid.

-better story and characters

While the Far Cry games have never really been known for their upfront, high quality story lines, I'd say Far Cry 5 actually have the best story content of the series so far. I'm not sure if you're capable of sitting still and absorbing the world around you for 2 minutes, but aside from the main story there are dozens of voicemails and written notes, not to mention environmental details that tell a wealth of story, much of it interconnected. I sincerely doubt you have played enough, or paid attention enough, to get the story.

-better world like that were in 3 and 2

You're absolutely allowed to not like the setting. But that being said, there's nothing wrong with it. It's gorgeously detailed, and like many modern games, authentic enough to be recognizable to those that know of it.

-weapon jamming system from FC2 bring immersion, removing it was mistake

Meh.

-better day night cycle system with rain and different weather effect

Probably the only point I completely agree with. I was quite disappointed in the weather variety. That is to say, there is none.

-better physics that were in 2 and absent from 5

You've seen that Crowbcat video too, huh? Look, all those little details are pretty sweet when you're looking at them in the context of a youtube video meant to directly show you. But it's not practical at all to divert development time to these details. They're not necessary nor would you notice them more than a couple times.

 

[Elvis Starburst]

I applaud your attempt though. Most of us have tried at least once

Even I've stopped attempting to explain things to him, despite my best efforts. Gave up a long time ago. Only so many times you can try to reason with someone who can't form their own opinions before you decide you've had enough. I actually managed to get him to explain things in high detail once. It became a worth while debate, and ended up being rather productive. I said he should keep that up, cause it was refreshing.

But nah, B-Cell would rather take the lowest amount of effort possible and repeat the same stupid shit he always does, very much like any Ubisoft game in recent memory. +1 to the opinion that B-Cell is Ubisoft in human form

I'm told that there are people that aren't really playing the game: they are getting to the fishing simulations and just playing those for hours on end. Does look fun, I may get the thing:

Ehh, I wouldn't get the game with the intention of the fishing minigame holding your attention for too long. It really is a shallow as it looks. You go to a specific pond, with one of only 3 different rods, and you cast it, reel it in slightly, watch the water ripple with fish until one bites, and then simply hold a button and the stick in the opposite direction of the fish until it comes to you. And that's it really. Fun distraction for maybe ten minutes at a time.

That reminds me how many hours I spent playing cards in Red Dead Redemption.

[JUMBO PALACE]

It requires so much more effort to yell and cry about something you don't like than to just go and enjoy the things you do. Why do people do this?

 

[Darth_Payn]

I'm actually really enjoying it, especially the setting. How many fps games out there are set in modern day rural America? There's a lot of potential there and Ubisoft managed not to squander it. Pretty awesome selection of guns and melee weapons too. Also fishing. I love fishing. And you get a dog! And a bear! And a mountain lion! And Hurk!

I don't really give a fuck about the story in a Far Cry game. Shooting people with fun weapons in a fun setting is the main selling point and Far Cry 5 does that really well.

I enjoy it to, but I'll admit I only ever played Far Cry...Instinct I think someone here told me it was called. The one where you're a Weapon-X escapee with super powers.

As for FC5 I'm straight up enjoying it. Soured on the fact there is no post-credit free play, and the endings are hot garbage, but there's a real, and I hate to use this, but traditional small-town American vibe to it. People talking about fishing at Whatever Lake with their dad, that day Peggie Petterson wore a white dress to prom, that time the guys got drunk and shot off fireworks in the field.
I actually like it! And I identify with it much more than the ones set in like Tibet or some paradise island. Not that those settings and cultures are bad, I just have to touch-stone to them like I do grilling with dad on Sundays in the back yard.

As for the villains, they did go downhill as the game went on. John Seed was the best, followed by Faith, Jacob and Joseph was sadly the worst. Joseph just sucked, Jacob is a jarhead lunatic with a thing for red disco lights, Faith was interesting and intense, especially how she got into people's minds and lost her cool as you went on. But John Seed was just sinister and great! Especially as the first area you liberate. Anyone who can convince people to tattoo their deadly sin into their flesh and then literally carve it out of them, while singing hymns and smiling is a good villain.

Still on the fence about playin the game (after hearing all the endings are ass), but what do Jacob and John Seed do differently? Aren't they both all about torture and recruitment into the cult?

 

[B-Cell_v1legacy]

It requires so much more effort to yell and cry about something you don't like than to just go and enjoy the things you do. Why do people do this?

because we are consumer and we have rights to complain if developers are not doing right job. i mean they could have made far cry some kind of special series. its a series always has potential but always fail to deliver. even far cry 3 is also wasted potential despite being decent game.

if i were to rate the series. i can rate Far cry 2 8/10 which is by far best in series despite being very repeteteive but its immersive and doesnot hold your hand.

far cry 3 is 7/10 game. ok. its fun to explore but when you are on mission. it hold your hand and become too cinematic. i cant rate any other game more than 5. primal, 4 and 5 all 3 of them just suck. they should have made FC4 by now to have very improved and overhaul of gameplay. like how different 2 and 3 were.
