Fun fact! I live in a town in Montana that Ubisoft employees visited to get their locales/pictures/taste for the local folks, and one of the bases in the game is based off of a local brewery and restaurant in town. I had no idea until I came across the place in game, and it blew my mind. It was a perfect recreation, and I had fun killing the weird cult members in a place I've had dinner and beers with my family many times.
Was it the prison?
In the Midwest people are just like that
Now do it in real Life American Style Fuck Yeah.

For once, I would like a helicopter in a game intro to survive.
When hell freezes over
#HelicopterLivesMatter
When you first start the game and talk to the cult leader, don't put the hand cuffs on him. Eventually everyone turns and goes back home and the game ends, helicopter undamaged.
don't think we're quite ready for such revolutionary design.
Prey 2017
I'd say the best part about this game was when this one character keeps you captured and you have to keep doing this little speedrun section where you have to kill everyone as fast as possible. However, the last time this happens, you whip around the corner expecting to see the final enemy you've killed three times previously, but this time its the resistance leader of the area. But because you're so well acquainted with it at this point, you've already sprayed him down and killed him. It was a rather neat idea that made me feel genuinely responsible.
i clocked it was him on the final run but theres no way to prevent it which is a shame. i just waited for the timer to run out, it reloaded me in the previous room, then glitched and halfway through beating some guy up told me id shot him and how guilty i shoudl feel.
@@ReplicantBattyman That's sort of the issue I have with it, it only really works the first time around. Granted, that's how most twists in stories work.
@@mr.meloetta1939 I guess most people won’t play the game more than once anyway
I hated that part because it gives you no choice. It just comes across as dumb and hackneye and even in the context of the plot it makes no sense.
@@BOYVIRGO666 i mean it makes sense in that you and the character get conditioned by it to do it as fast as possible it was less well done then when spec ops the line did it

Why wasn't there at least a sentence about shovels? It's the most fun you can have in this damn game.
Gotta hit that american bashing quota my dude
The British are just self conscious that they went from most powerful nation in the world to a country with about 30 years left of being relevant
He makes a ton of good points, I mean anyone with a brain realizes we are following in the footsteps of the Roman Empire, specifically with terrible wealth distribution.
Anastasia Kaschak Oh yeah, our time is over. This empire has been in crumbling free fall for quite some time.
Anastasia Kaschak Right analogy, wrong government. We're following in the footsteps of the Roman REPUBLIC, currently standing just short of the assassination of Tiberius Gracchus. We haven't reached the point yet where things are so bad we would willingly accept an emperor just to fix all the problems, and I believe there's still time to halt the process.
He was way nicer to that ending than I was. Though, I'm wondering if the Mass Effect interrupt system has spoiled me, because there were about nine different cutscenes where I was screaming at the screen, "I HAVE A MAGNUM! JUST GIVE HIM A THIRD NOSTRIL, YOU TWAT!"
I tried putting so many Magnum rounds into the sheriff's face, but that damned pornostached fucker still kept telling me what to do.
EXACTLY. That freaking cult leader was begging to die and the best we get is watching him totally lose it and recite random scripture bits as a nuke appears out of nowhere. I'm still convinced he nuked the valley himself and the game that just came out being a spinoff seems to fit that theory. Because I'm quite certain at best one nuke should be falling in the vicinity of that patch nowhere. There are tens of thousands of better targets, so given the cult's weirdly infinite resources I'm guess he built weakish homemade ones and put them everywhere and no one noticed...somehow. That would've been a fun side mission, sneaking around defusing bombs for an alternate ending, but nope.
@@010203109 In reality, I don't think nuclear war would ever be possible. No-one on the planet wants a nuclear war, and as such, nobody in any government would ever start one. The Nuke is just disconnected from the story, and makes everything pointless.
Honestly, this game is probably the best far cry game in terms of gameplay, but the second you enter a cutscene everything just becomes stupid.
@Channel07 Hahaha. 'Abusive relationship' I like that. Very true.
2 years later and this is still one of the best RUclips comments I've read. so relatable and so true lmaoo
Say what you want about this game, the coop is fucking hilarious
WillyMacShow ayyy, you watch zero punctuation, love the channel! And yeah you're right the coop can be quite funny with a good friend
If it had 3-4 player coop it would be the best game of this year.
Emmett Montanaro yeah that would be awesome I have two other friends with the game and I wish we could all play at the same time
Coop is best from server side. Nothing fun happens when you're host. But as soon as you join a friend, bears are plants, trucks explode for no reason, and enemies become helicopters.
Anthony Madden Both like borderlands?
"The Ubisoft Sandbox, a phrase for me that must now be said with the same tone as the Rape of Nanking." Brutal lol
"Talking condescendingly at you like a Bay Area health-food specialist." I actually laughed out loud at that one. Good job Yahtzee
At least we don't have to climb a tower every two seconds.
I also like how they make a joke about that early on.
I guess I'm alone on this, but I actually liked climbing the towers. Likewise with the viewpoints on Assassin's Creed
Jacob Taylor
Same here.
I actually loved the challenge of climbing towers and the way it opened up a little more of the map.
But I love towers, my pet cat's name is tower, I grind towers and use them as shampoo
This is one of the most positive FC5 reviews I have heard so far. Is Yahtzee okay?

But I keep enjoying them (except primal, that was just shit)
Yup, i agree with you fellas, Primal was just not fun.

Far Cry 5 is actually politically correct: Saying that man buns shouldn't be allowed anywhere near politics is correct.
What makes a hairdo a man-bun, as opposed to being simply a bun?
I'm going to guess it's sexist insecurity.
@@colehartel7206 it's fairly simple. A bun on the back of the head, on someone who is traditionally male or identifies as male, is referred to as the style "man-bun"

I always loved Zero Punctuation, but this is just so political! Zero Punctuation is dead now.
Oh wait, sorry. My brain was full of Swiss cheese for a moment. I almost started a flame war over someone having a different opinion than me! What a stupid thing to do!
Right? All these whiny americans crying about having to think about something for once in their damn lives. It's all for a laugh anyway.
I don't see how it gets in the way, I can see why some people would think it's incessant in this video but it's not like he derails the video, The episode still maintains flow and given the nontroversy around a handful people trying to call the game out as SJW because it was set in America it is somewhat fitting.
I agree with that sentiment. However, I also have a sneaking suspicion you wouldn't if the direction of the joke were reversed.
Jokira Almost no Americans complained about the game. It was mostly left leaning journalists complaining about the game not being heavily political.
Please get off your high horse Mr.1000IQ.
DatGrunt, Jokira is talking about zero punctuation, not the game.
My favorite part of first playing this game in co-op mode for the first time: Going half a mile out to a river, hopping water plane, and seeing a large 'jesus' statue out in the distance.. then saying "Do we just fly over to it.. can we? I guess it is a sand box game", crashed into some people while landing and taking over the whole damn thing in the first 10 minutes of co-op mode. It only went up from there, somehow. Fun game, without a doubt.
I always love a good positive review from Yahtzee, or at least what passes for one sometimes
Stephen Smith what is this 'good review' you speaking of? I never heard of this on this channel before.
udhsids entertaining and somewhat informative.
udhsids watch the dark souls reviews. Just about the only 'positive' ones
Anthony Caruso (I know he have a few 'positive' video. Is just funny when he upload them.)
He also enjoyed Minecraft as well.
I think this game would have worked better if the antagonists hadn't been a religious group but rather a weirdo survivalist militia in the vein of Posse Comitatus or those guys in Oregon that held up the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. Montana isn't big on that sort of fringe religious fanaticism, as much as it is on hardcore libertarians and political extremists who hate the government. If the game was set in rural Utah or Idaho, those would be better settings for a doomsday cult as you can find plenty of crackpot Mormon fundamentalists out in the sticks. The antagonists still could have had that millenarian "civilization is ending" outlook, but the religious element doesn't work and isn't that well-defined.
I'm waiting for lets all laugh at an industry that never learns anything tee hee hee
Kinda sounds like they did learn some stuff with this tho
I never understood why, after unlocking the airport, you couldn't just fly out for help.
It wasn't about leaving. You're a cop ranger guy. You're trying to release the people from the tyranny of the hipster dudes.
@@TokyoKazama You're forgetting the game started and ended (depending on which ending you got) with references to getting the National Guard to help out. It would have made much more sense to fly to civilization and inform state and federal authorities about what was happening (also remember that there is a U.S. Marshal MIA). I'm not saying it was a bad game; I'm saying the access to airplanes is a huge plot hole.
I actually kinda want to play this, but two things prevent it.
1. Requires an Ubisoft account (even on Steam).
2. STILL runs DUNIVO.
-Sees a Trump joke in the video
-Scrolls down to the comments

Far Cry 3.4
Ping 404. Wow ur the first person to comment that on a far cry 5 video, your super original
Nicholas Stavinoha Thank you!
Doesn't make it any less true, this series is as much of a line graph as Assassin's Creed.
Nicholas Stavinoha he's just making a point that is basiclly true so yeah you're gunna see comments like that quite often on Far Cry videos, it's to be expected. So calm your titties.
but significantly worse than both
I agree, the ending made me go "Well that was all for nothing..."
It almost seems like....He liked it ?
Viewers: Did you like Far Cry 5?
Yahtzee: Yyeess-ish.
@@rosie8059 Yahtzee's mind
the good: ehhhhhh
The bad: ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I remember accidentally driving a Semi through an enemy stronghold because the marker for the mission was a few feet behind it up the side of a mountain. I didn't notice anything wrong until a bunch of people started shooting at me.
I never got a *insert who you think is ruining the country* vibe from it I got a major suicide cult vibe from it, kinda like Heaven's Gate or Jonestown
I find the endings utterly ridiculous.
Spoilers
Where the hell did a group of religious hillbillies get nukes? They only show in the resist ending so it's only logical that Seed is launching them. What happened to satellite radio? Why didn't the military bat an eye when ALL OF MONTANA WENT DARK? What the hell happened to border patrols? How does bliss work? Why does the effect seem temporary in the game only for the ending to completely override that and instead go for permanent mind control? Why not just shoot the last guy in the Seed family? Why didn't one of your companions do it in the resist ending? Where was Cheeseburger? Will there ever be another Testie Festie? Could this have been prevented if we just climbed more towers?
Not a thief the radio broadcasts hint that the outside world has fallen into chaos due to nuclear disaster The CIA and heads of gov't are likely underground.

"America's up to volume 3" he he yeah I'd say half way through 4 now

care to explain?
Then explain it, Master.
Enlighten we mere plebs
It... probably is referring to around the end of Pax Romana and towards the division of Roman Empire. Thay fits perfectly to the current situation, actually.
>2018
>Reading a book
LOL, nice joke grandpa
I wish that they hired a few male and female voices actors and gave you a choose voice screen to hear your character instead of them being some bland piece of shit. The only major complaint I have with this game is how it basically drags you into story missions for the villains when you want to do literally anything else
Fun fact: You CAN get plopped back into the sandbox for post-game fuckabouts if you accept Joseph's proposition at the final encounter, getting that ending. You see the ending, and respawn at the last autosave, letting you clean up your leftovers, and reattempt the final encounter to see the other, more, err... final... ending.
so when is Escapist going to be renamed Zero Punctuation :P

"More depressing and granted that's why I seek out stories to actually feel something other than the usual background radiation of slightly aroused contempt"
this hit too hard
Frankly I loved the ending. Yeah it bummed me the fuck out but it was a risky move and I applaud it. Takes serious balls to have the villain win.
All three endings were shit. Two of them seemed ripped from a B horror movie.
Pajamapants Jack nukes don't explode that big people would have been often vaporized when it gone off

Dude like WTF? Already spoiling the ending? It's 3 days for an episode, 3 weeks for game/movie and 3 months for a book... that's the golden rule for not being a spoiling... person
Not that I disagree that him spoiling was a dick move, but I've never once heard that time rule on spoilers before.
I'm gonna watch this video and leave a comment, but not necessarily in that order.
I'd argue that Far Cry 5 is the ultimate "right-wing gun wank fantasy" game. Assembling a rag tag resistance to fight tyrannical loonies threatening your way of life sounds fucking awesome.
"Assembling a rag tag resistant to fight tyrannical loonies threatening your way of life" literally describes every numbered farcry game since 3
*Obligatory anti-trump joke that will garner thousands of likes*
S0ci0stan According to the comment section and the political beliefs of most gamers, he is more getting dislikes with jokes like that.
Poncho Did you just generalize the political beliefs of the biggest subculture of the world because a few of them scream a lot?
TheJrbdog Ok, I probably shouldn't have put it like that. The thing is that online, the people who play videogames and will complain about political views they don't like regarding video games are more likely to be right leaning. I have of course, no statistics to back that up, but if you take most of the big succesfull channels talking video games, and look at the comment section of the videos who touch political topics, you will find a clear majority of right leaning people. Maybe it's a recent thing, maybe it's the Gamergate generation, I don't know, but coming from personnal experience, Yatzee will probably get more dislikes than likes with his Trump jokes.
Definitely a downer. I also love being an unkillable mute Terminator in a biker outfit as I Molotov cultists while throwing knives to and fro.
Yeah, but this game is fun. Remember when games were supposed to be fun? I do. And this one is. Yahtzee has become ennui-inducingly pedantic.
Far cry 5 review: far cry 4 video with drumpf jokes tossed in 🙄
There most offensive thing Yahtzee has ever done is include that knockoff helicopter. Lego is purity and perfection. Scrub blocks get out.
That first sentence is almost godlike in how poorly-written it is.
So it's ok, almost good even.
I know Yahtzee's politics are about as reddit as can be, but I was expecting the jokes to be at least slightly better.
"is there something we can conceivably blame on the democrats?" I dunno, the 2016 elections?
Putin's not a democrat.
TheJrbdog ya see? You have to blame the Russians for your own failures. Btw Obama used the same Cambridge Analytica type data mining, but when HE did it, it was stunning and brave.
+TheJrbdog Putin also didn't rig the Democratic primaries in favor of a warmongering wall street sellout that no one wanted.
Something something deepstate
Nicholas Heathfield I'm blaming the Russians for taking advantage of America's failures to get the result they wanted. It's kinda worse if you think about it.
Also, here's a fun article about how Obama's use of Cambridge Analytica was different than Trump's use: www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2018/mar/22/meghan-mccain/comparing-facebook-data-use-obama-cambridge-analyt/
I'm from rural Montana and I don't think they quite nailed us right. The adherents to this cult seem more like Idaho or Utah than Montana or Wyoming. Montana/Wyoming aren't really religious, they're more "get outta my yard!" isolationist types. Read "Under the Banner of Heaven" for a good look at fundamentalist cults in the Western US. I'm not upset over the characterization or anything, I just don't think of Montana that way. Utah is the place where religion really dominates. I suppose Mormons woulda been upset if you put it in Utah because it would have been a less thinly veiled jab at their fundamentalist cults.
That's true, but they were more doomsday preppers than religious. An anti-government, anti-corporate terrorist cell of non-religious doomsday preppers would have been way more Montana than a religion.
*rolls eyes*
There's only about 20000-60000 fundamentalist Mormons in the US, though. Also, Mormons in general don't strike me as particularly militant, especially when compared to Conservative Evangelicals. I've actually met and spoken with some American Mormons, and they were very nice and polite people. Some of my relatives are also Mormons, and they're fairly moderate folk, especially when compared to most Pentecostals and Jehova's Witnesses.
I'm not American, but to me Texas would strike as an appropriate state for this kind of thing, given that David Koresh and Marshall Applewhite (founder of Heaven's Gate) were both Texans.
Yes, when I think of cults Waco, Heaven's Gate and Jonestown are the ones that come to mind. Mormons when compared to FLDS Mormons are far too easy going and polite to ever form such a thing and certainly would never engage in violence or consider a mass suicide pact. And they are definitely pretty mellow compared to Evangelicals and Jehovah's Witnesses.
I narrowed my suggestions to the Rocky Mountain West because the setting of Far Cry 5 is there. Texas has a pretty different climate and geography (although you wouldn't know that playing Red Dead Redemption).
But otherwise I agree about evangelicals and Texas.
Montana is sometimes lumped into "The Unchurched Belt" with Oregon and Washington because it has one of the lowest per capita religiosity in the country. You can search Wikipedia for "List of U.S. states and territories by religiosity" and find that Montana was 7th LEAST religious state.
I suggest "Under the Banner of Heaven" if you want to learn about fundamentalist Mormonism. It is quite militant.
I hate that you brought up the politics of the game. Yes I know it's a joke. But still I'm tired of political commentary it's all the same
As a resident of Montana I can safely say the premise of Far Cry 5 is plausible.
I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I thought the ending was entirely shoddy. You spend the entire game being shown how awful each sibling is in their own right and in what ways each of them deserve a stray round and then you get to the end and you're basically told, "By the way, Joseph was right about the end of the world. He really did have god's foresight on his side and fighting him and Eden's Gate was wrong." John, Jacob, Faith, and Joseph are deliberately shown to be completely insane and their characters aren't written in any way to inspire sympathy or understanding. The "twist" at the end was entirely unearned.
It was Joseph himself that caused doomsday
So uh, what book you think we're up to at this point? 5? 6?
5
5 getting closer to 6
Yahtzee is the only real critic I've heard say it, but apparently Far Cry 5 is a good game. Granted, it's more of the same, but even with the tried and true mechanics, I've heard the story is actually pretty good.
Not sure if you get this but if you do could you do a review on 'Tachyon: The Fringe', 'Starlancer' and it sort of sequel 'Freelancer'?
All the jokes landed except for the political ones.
Not because I disagreed with them, just because they felt kind of shallow.
even if you don't like trump, people have to admit that this is the stalest, dead horse of these jokes
Bronze
My thoughts exactly.
Ethan suomynona yeah, it's not so much shooting fish in a barrel as it is having the shot barrel emptied out, the fish gutted and shot, filleted and shot, shot and battered, cooked with chips and peas, then Yahtzee is the one shooting it on the plate after adding ketchup.
Pointless.
I thought the point was to liberate actual Trump voters from the strawman Trump voters
You *THOUGHT* ?!
It's 2018, people don't think anymore, now start screaming and breaking stuff. It's the new thinking.
so you wanna save actual retards from the strawman retards?
Robert yes, because there can be no possible reason for someone else to vote against your interest.
Robert Aren't liberals supposed to be open-minded and able to see both sides of issues like this? Just sayin, believing that half the voting population is retarded seems more unlikely than people just having a different opinion to you.
If by liberate you mean with bullets
yatzee is the kind of dude who COMPLAINS when videogames dont go political when it should be the other way around and he should praise em
His new girlfriend brought him to San Francisco and is brainwashing him thoroughly
Man I sure love my apolitical games like Spec ops the Line, Bioshock, COD: Modern Warfare, Fallout: New Vegas, The Witcher 3... Politics bad. I like it when video games don’t say anything of substance about the world (what do people think they are, art or something?)
I'm actually in the middle of replaying this game for the first time in months of the infamous New game plus difficulty... I'd have to say I am thoroughly enjoying it. it's not a masterpiece but there is a lot of interesting content here between the main villains the locations the support characters and the free DLC weapons.
I love it when people from a country where you can get thrown in jail for a Nazi joke make fun of the United States

>throw him in jail for a year
>gets murdered halfway through his sentence
>killed because of a bacon sandwich
>cops move on to arrest the next bystander with an unlicensed butter knife
I think I'll stay in my country that ISNT slowly degenerating into a third world country
Maybe you should travel a bit more within your own country. Parts of the US look like war-torn zones. Try talking to cops that work in Memphis, Detroit or most places in Louisiana...
Also, he lives in Australia, not the UK where the dude with the Nazi video lives. Certainly Australia doesn't have situations like Flint, Katrina, shooting protesters, cops gunning down unarmed man every other day, school shootings, massive inequality... the list goes on. It's not Sweden, video games get censored all the time there, but certainly is heaps better than the US.
Fair enough, and he's originally English, so my mistake.
Still doesn't really justify the whataboutism above.

Brilliant.
This was a pretty positive review for Yahtzee. Kind of surprising.
Also, to the people upset about the political jokes - it's Yahtzee. If you have a personal subject that you can't stand other people to joke about, then watching his content will always be a risk to you.
Not that I don't mind the political, anti trump, joke but why does he never go after the left?
It just seems repetitive because, if he can make a political joke, we will know what coming. It funnier when he plays with our expectations
In Yahtzee's defense, the Right at this current point in time (July 12 2019) are doing things that can only be described as "things a video game bad guy would think are good ideas." Maybe when the Right stops being so laughable, and they start y'know not obstructing the government from governing, then maybe we can throw jabs at the left for being bleeding hearts. Frankly, its difficult to call the left bleeding hearts right now considering the whole increase of national debt, the lack of anything going on in Congress, and (of course) the children in cages
Jacob Domosh Way to take everything at face value and skim the headlines of editorials
@Chaz Hagen
Antifa are generally comprised of left anarchists which is literally almost as far as you can possible be on the political compass from fascism. In fact their name is literally just a shortened version of the word anti-fascist. Maybe learn political theory before speaking about politics so you don't just think fascism means "when somebody does political violence"
@@Bryndleson doesn't matter what they call themselves when their actions are the opposite. Just because someone says their spirit is a wolf, doesn't make it true. Antifa employs facistic tactics to combat who they deem to be nazis, which seen as they are communists, is everyone who isn't them.
Ohh god this guy must be a really sad case to behold in real life.
Suddenly very glad that I learned there is, in fact, an ending. Now I know I have to finish everything before moving on.
I'm quite surprised he didn't mention anything about the now regenerating health as a pretty big thing in the far cry series was the ability to heal with relocating your bones bandaging wounds and popping out bullets with a stick but all that's gone and I know how much he has regenerating health in video games so yer bit of a surprise there
What exactly was Ubisoft's idea with this game's ending? You chose to arrest the villain, the county get nuked thanks to events you had no control over while he rants about how he was right all along. You don't arrest him, you don't know if the county gets nuked by the violent brainwashing you are subject to kicks in and you start murdering people.
The game talks about not solving everything with violence, but when it gives you the option to spare the villain your act of mercy backfires.
Not to mention the stuff about nuclear war was is learned through exposition that is optional to listen to. You do not set up something that big in details that a player can entirely miss.
I haven't heard a peep about how it's the first game that lets you play as a woman, and all the endings turn out shitty (and maybe a tad rapey from a certain perspective).
They could've come up with something new. Not just copy Trump's america and just throw some religious stuff
Thank God Hillary didn't win.
I mean, it was gonna be a shit show no matter who won. "Hillary is corrupt" and "Trump is (insert new horrible thing here this week)" are all we were gonna hear anyhow. Ride out the 4 year shitshow so we can hopefully get 2 politicians who are marginally less horrible people as candidates lol.
I mean, they both sucked, but I would have preferred a corrupt bitch over a racist wad of spoiled cheese.
Trump is better than Hillary tbh. I'm not even American, and I still think that Hillary is a crooked bitch.
Herbivore The Carnivore """Racist"""
Move on, it was two years ago!
I was so annoyed by the ending, I loved the replay value of far cry 3 and really thought far cry 5 would be the same but the ending just killed it for me.
I feel like Montana might get a bad rap from this game. I live there and I can assure you it's a nice place, if a bit boring and cold. Some religious hooligans might actually spice things up, but they'd all move back to California or die in the winter.
I'm a Greenlander and don't worry. I play open world games for the shooty shooty fun stuff.
Nah as someone who doesn't live in 'Murica I think if all of Montana was like Hope County I would like to vacation there. It is absolutely gorgeous (ingame at least, not sure what the state is like irl)
inb4 Trump supporters invade the comments
we need to build a wall to keep them out
Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the ending was kinda shit.
Yeah, it's a middle finger to all your effort throughout the game.
DreamyWolf not the good kind of middle finger as well
to be fair they were all more or less pretty shitty so it shouldn't come as a surprise
I liked it

Alright. So, I dont understand. They could have made room for some Kefka Esque ending. The world is destroyed, it's you and the father.
Well, there are about 5 thousand bunkers. Someone should have survived. How about make it so you have to watch the new order grow. Either join him or rebuild a resistance. Now you have to go to all the bunkers you were just in and recruit people.
Something. Just being tied to the bed for poop hole pleasures is kinda... lame. Give us some reason to go and get all the perks and money.
I like the nukes... but pepper it up. Give us some Metal Gear battle where you and the father have a shirtless punch match on a mech. Idk. I feel empty.
I find myself playing this game over and over when I want a game to churn through. It actually has a nice mix of environment changes, economy, item collection, powering up, companions, characters, random events, etc. I skip over all the cult propaganda stuff though because I couldn't care less about it, and it fails to make the game edgy anyway (I frankly paid more attention to how everyone else said it was topical rather than experience it as topical - I pretty much rejected the first 15 minutes outright, since new games have a certain topicalness to them and the beginning of this game is outright depressing, but after a time that aspect faded away like something forgotten, because the game aged on its own). I just beat the bosses and the challenges and move on. I do still like to feel a sense of progress and plot advancement, though, but I feel like the trigger points in the story happen just a little too quickly. I also keep saving up and buying the same weapons when I replay because I just like them and I'm not interested in experimenting with all the others unless I'm so powered up that I start to get bored. I don't play like those fast output liberation videos - I could never get very much of that to work at all.
0:56 Oh the US? sorry for a second that sounded an aweful lot like Venezuela. Tough that would make it more tragic than funny... moving on
How are most of the top rated comments attacking Yahtzee for his political leanings...and yet 19 out of 20 people that watched the video still hit "like" instead of "dislike." I don't understand the disparity.
Hmm. that dislike bar is looking bigger than usual.
Must be all of the Trump jokes.
Holy shit! Is this a positive review?!!?!! Of a Ubisoft game?!!?! Well I'll be damned
Considering it is so racially diverse as far as characters goes that you shoot maybe the requisite line that starts every ubisoft game makes sense this time. This game has been made by a diverse group of game developers with various faiths and believes.
woah
Nick Lager
Well.. that reveals a lot...
And genders. Don't forget genders. They make sure to tell you when you start their games now :D
Isnt this that political correctness so many people on the net seems to be so riled up about?
Not really, all the cultists Ive seen look like a neanderthal who hasnt bathed or cut his hair in 10 years, so no not racially diverse
didn't point out the 3 endings....the shitty ending...then there's the MORE shitty ending... then there's the MOST shittiest ending...
One 'small hands' joke away from a Late Night TV monologue! Looks like you're settling into America well.
Also you can blame a shit ton on the Democrats. Here we have another foreigner who is a liberal journalist telling us Americans how to live our lives. I would love to square up with you Mr Yahtzee one on one in a political debate but I’m afraid you would “bore me to death” as you so eloquently put. Also feel free to attack my poor writing on the internet. Doesn’t bother me.
Did . . . Did Yahtzee just give a Ubisoft game a good review?
What?
Whoa whoa settle down now, let's not talk crazy here
We can all agree at least he tolerates this one. Less can be said about other ubisoft titles Yahtzee has torn to shreds to my never ending entertainment :)
He also liked Far Cry 3
Vaas was in Far Cry 3, what is there not to like... also at the time when FC3 came out the open world sandbox genre was not as saturated as it is now. But still Far Cry 3 is the best Far Cry... because Vaas
Paul Sullivan I'd say it's more accurate to say he gave it a mediocre review. Not amazing, not terrible, just kind of passes the time.
I wonder what political party Yahtzee votes for. He sure don't make it very obvious... /S
That vat of Kool Aid joke may be the most brutal joke Yahtzee ever made.
Anyone else appreciate that Yahtzee used a jpeg of an Arisaka in the rape of Nanking bit? I do.
No comment about the awful, unavoidable capture sequences and the absurdity of being captured so many damn times?
I'm actually surprised at how positive this review was. I thought Origins was a FAR better reboot of AC than FarCry 5 was of FarCry. Then again, I've taken to watching these reviews more for fun and less as a serious review.
God damn how come these game channels can't stop being political, unsubscribed.
I know, it's disgusting.
I bet this redcoat has not listened to a single speech by Donald Trump. Not one. He has no idea what Trump stands for. All he knows is the poison from the evil leftist media.
He forgot to mention how funny it is to watch cheeseburger the bear toss people around like ragdolls
This comment section depresses me. The world could end at any moment and people still won't shut up about the election.
We are all screwed.
My first Far Cry game and It's pretty good, I just wish I could decide when I want to do a main mission, not nocked unconscious over and over again to keep the plot going. I find the side quest much better than the main.
The Spongy Mallard far cry 2 is the best
Nope, 2 is shit.
It's not bad as far as a Far Cry games go. Although, oddly I kinda missed FC4 at times. Pagan Min was fiercely underrated.
Pagan Min is fantastic. Just a shame he could only be bothered to show up maybe three times during the story. I guess this is why FC5 has the player character get abducted by the bad guys a comedic number of times.
Robert Neville 2 and 1 were wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy bettttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttter
All the political commentary made you miss the obvious spot to use cougar as an innuendo. Sad.
The game doesn't force a political view on you, it gives you a situation and leaves you to decide.

Personally, I'm an atheist so I was having fun killing the cultists probably more than others. I liked how they felt the need to add the Christian black dude though. "See, he's a follower of the correct religious doctrine!"
Number 31 The Vault Soldier Or he could be seen to show the difference between extremists and whatever you call religious folk that aren't extremists.
Pretty sure this game would be more fun to play as a non-extremist religious person. Getting to kill the people who spread hate and ruin the image of the normal believers sounds very cathartic and satisfying
jo mo mo
Weren't they right in the end? The apocalypse they were banging on about did happen (if you chose the bad ending)
Number 31 The Vault Soldier I am a far right Christian. And you make a good point. They probably added that black man to not make normie conservatives walk away completely.
The game felt, to me, like 'Tom Clancy's Far Cry 5 Wildlands'. Also, the Arcade is the best part of the game in my opinion.
Ah, the good old days when we were only on Volume 4
My main gripe about the game is the way story missions progress. I like the idea of advancing to the next stage of the story based on how much you've disrupted the enemy; that aspect was cool. What I didn't like was that it automatically started the next main story mission as soon as you got to that stage. Just make the mission available, don't railroad me. I'll advance the plot when I'm good and ready, thank you very much.
If you mean the "YOU GONNA GET FUCKED NOW" interruptions where it just literally teleports you out mid-gameplay, yeah, that irritating at first and got progressively worse - all that to watch a bunch of cutscenes...
What a shocker, the game actually treats it's characters like people instead of caricaturing them as drooling retards just because they live in a red state. I know that might be an inconceivable reality to someone from upsidownland but here we are
i live in a red state...............and making them all drooling retards would be far too realistic for a game like Far Cry
Why? Because. That's a good thing because why on Earth would a business purposely alienate a good chunk of their fanbase? The new Wolfenstein did the same thing which led to triggered neo-nazis.
Why? Because. Hold on now, I see you're a little emotional right now. Let's step back a bit. Lots of movies and video games are trying push "muh social commentary" down people's throats anyway. Movies like "Get out" are a great example of this. This is a trend in Hollywood for years to put subtle messages in their movies for decades now.
Funny you that you would mention Black Panther, or as it should be called, "Ethno-state: The movie".
Why? Because. Popularity doesn't automatically mean something is good. For example, the Transformers movie series make a a shitton of money yet they're critically panned. The Last Jedi was a horrible movie and yet it got critical acclaim and is now the most divisive film in recent years. Not everyone liked "Get out" myself included. It was a great concept but had it not try to shoehorn agendas behind it and wanted to tell a story before an agenda, it would have a great. Gaming and Hollywood have not become desensitize at all. Hell,it's gotten more ballys these past few years. Was "Spec Ops: The Line" sensitized? Was "Detroit" sensitized? Was "Get Out"? I really don't know what you're arguing here, lad.
So, here's my biggest gripe with this one, and you could probably chalk this one up to personal taste, but I'm gonna say it anyway. I wish they could've tweaked the plot progression system a little bit more. Let me explain. As Yahtzee mentions, the plot progression is based on "Resistance Points" which you acquire via story missions, outpost liberation, etc. As you gather resistance points in one of the three regions you reach a given threshold (Resistance Levels) that triggers a special story mission in which you get captured by that region's leader (John, Faith, or Jacob). Running parallel to this is the level of cult activity you see in the region. As your Resistance level goes up in a region, you see less and less supply trucks, cult VIPs, hostages to free, essentially stuff you randomly run into when wandering around. This activity makes exploring interesting, are fun to engage in, and a degree of tension to the gameplay. However, engaging in them also nets you Resistance points, not many, but they add up. When you finally get to the point where you kill the cult leader in a particular region, all the "random" cult activity just vanishes, with only unfinished side missions and outposts left. It's worth mentioning as well that a lot of story missions unlock "specialists," NPCs with different skills that you can order around, which I find to be genuinely fun to wander around and work with, therefore I would like to have all the story missions in a region sorted before I take on the side stuff. These story missions, however, earn you a ton of Resistance points, and after you kill the leader, whatever side missions or story missions you have left just don't feel believable because the atmosphere generated by the random cult activity is no longer there. My point is, as refreshingly organic as this plot progression system is, it limits, to some degree, the amount of fun I can have with the game. Blowing up roadblocks is fun. Stealing supply trucks is fun. I don't want to have to choose between the random stuff and missions. I feel like the simplest solution would be to either decrease the amount of Resistance points the random stuff gets you, so you can do more of it without worrying as much about how much of it your doing, or increasing the number of points to increase your Resistance level. Now I can understand that there was a method behind these specific design choices because that, for this system to work, a certain balance is needed to both retain the organic feel to it and let the player feel like they're making progress. I also understand such a balance can be extremely difficult for developers to get right. But as the game is, right now, this progression system brings with it a level of constraint that I personally wish wasn't there.
