I've lived in Montana since 2007. I've never played a Far Cry game but holy cow they captured the wilderness perfectly. May have to start a let's play channel for this guy.
P.S. The Testicle Festival is a real thing.
In my experience in Montana. Walking around with a .308 rifle is pretty normal there.
Joshua Radick i lived in Blackfoot, Conrad, great falls, Missoula, and Shepard montana and yeah it's nothing out of the ordinary lol
Lol i just posted a comment to thi effect, except im in kentucky. (IN Kentucky, NOT From Kentucky.)
@Lairdriver confused about what? Their wives are grizzlies
thats fucking ignorant
America!
When did everyone stop improving AI? Did anyone play MGSV? Did anyone Play FEAR? There are existing models for these things that can work extremely well!
MGSV? dude just because the AI can see you that don't make them clever, if they were anywhere near smart you wouldn't be able to progress in the game, the idea is always to make the player playing the game smarter, they probably have the ability to make AI much much smarter but that would not make a good video game, you cant play the super soldier action hero in games if every enemy is on your level.
As for fear, yeh it was great at the time, have you gone back to it today? go ahead, go back and see, its very basic AI doing very basic things.
Fear doesnt really have smart AI, They just talk a lot and they crafted the whole entire game to work with the AI which is why every single level is a bunch of squares. Putting fears AI in an open world setting and they would be a lot more simple because there are a dozen more type of cover and angles the player can come from. FEARS AI is nothing special.
>MGSV
fucking kek
Fear AI only works in small special environments. It was "smart" in how it was made and still holds up really well but that kinda AI doesn't work in open world areas. The more possibilities the harder it is to make an AI function correctly. Great game choice to go to tho.
im guessing A.I programming is hard and expensive, money they don't like to spend.
How does ACG release 10+ minute reviews less then a day of release but IGN could hardly handle a 4 minute one a week later? Nobody knows.
ACG isn't a human. Probably.
He said he got the code a week ago. Maybe IGN don't. Also I recommend you move away from anything IGN do unless you are happy with every review getting a no less than a 7.
Or IGN sucks
and minute by minute, this also has more info than any IGN video ever has
Because the “gamers” over at ign are completely inedpt when it comes to gaming
*always say someting bad about IGN on every ACG video or you are not a fan*
I really liked the pros and cons list at the end
Yeah he used to do that a while back and then he stopped and now i guess he's back at it
The font was super hard for me to read lol i had to pause the video
The constant barrage of overly aggressive animals in Far Cry games has always annoyed me. You can't go 10 minutes without being attacked by a badger or mountain lion. This is not a new problem. Hyper aggressive wildlife. Drives me nuts!
In 'far cry' yet you fail to include animals from any other far cry game. Brilliant, really.
In Far Cry 4 they could have made it so that a higher karma level decreases the chances of wildlife attacks.
Jacob H i don't mind it, kind of gives you a sense to watch your back or you'd get eating by a bear😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
There is a perk that affects Animals Fleeing and make them prioritize enemies over You, as well as Reducing incoming Dmg from wildlife.
i like it. its a part of what makes a far cry game and far cry game.
0:57 he literally coudnt say that!
I recommend ACG to literally everyone I know that plays games, I wish all content got reviewed as well as you review games. Hope I threw a few subs your way!
my thanks
For me this was one of the most enjoyable games of 2018. Yes the story takes a backseat and yes the game constantly throws carnage at you. But still the way you explored the world and the openness in terms of gameplay kept it fresh. something that the other far cry games and even botw at times failed to do.
Ill agree, the whole interrupting of conversations because of enemys is really bad. One person i couldnt even talked to. Even after i killed everything.
ya its odd
After just 3 hours of gameplay, I have to agree that the patrols and animal attacks are way too high! It just gets a little comical after the tenth time it happens. Still, lots of fun to play though, I just hope Ubisoft may be able to tone that back a little bit with a patch down the line without breaking the fun of the game.
ya its very odd
It's super annoying. I just kill one car and then two more show up...
It's like they are afraid of people getting bored. But it's like really loud music all the time it tends to become fatiguing.
I loved that in Primal there are places which are completely calm.
Agreed. It's especially annoying when you're trying to talk to an NPC after driving there, attracting about 50 cultists on the way, and then having to kill them all before registering for a mission.
Maybe they want to cover up the times where literally nothing happens.
Like in GTA V, if you just sit there, nothing will happen. If you don't make anything happen that is.
I feel like for a world to be truly immersive, it needs to be a bit disconnected from the player actions and do its own thing.
But yes, it would be nice if we could turn down the frequency of those patrols ^^
For $15 on the February Steam sale, I assume this game is worth it? Haha
AbsoluteUnit you sure the one u got is not far cry 4? For far cry 5, it’s $30 after the discount $89 before discount, no way u can get it for 15 not even in EU or RUS
Liev Charlotte its 15$ on ps store rn
@@yaokailiu6601 USD $
Yeah, I got it for $15 many months back, and it was a decent 40 hours of gameplay.
It's 15$ on Xbox One rn

Hey, Matt. As you learn not to take life as a general place to get triggered and go off (you'll actually live longer), I'll clue you into a few facets about 'adult and mature conversations' as you seem keen on the topic:
-Do not strive to look for people's true intentions in stupid responses to not serious conversations.
-Look for clues in general conversation to denote if people are serious. Uses of asinine memes, for example, are usually hallmarks of non-serious conversations. That's why you don't see many Defense Attorneys ending their closing arguments with "Whoomp, There it is!"
-Placing a hashtag into your political message is a cue to most q'mature' people to disregard your statements.
Now, I won't discourage you with your beliefs. I'm down for respect. I'm just saying pick your battles, don't try to die on every hill you see, and take things with a grain of salt.
Have fun in life, Matt. Good Travels.
Your videos are an essential part of my week as a gamer. I feel like any reviewer can tell me weather they liked a game or if they believe I should spend my money on it, but you have deepened my love for games by giving me insight into what actually went into the process of making them. Really irreplaceable stuff in my opinion. Thank you!
thanks man
Can be very fun but issues with janky spawning, and totally inept AI really hurt it at times.
Overall should be ok for super fans though and not bad in the long run.
It appears to be a tiny bit lower Res on the PS4pro than 4k but its use of TXAA absolutely rocks
Also misspelled gameplay lol

ACG theyll fix it in patches
will you do a review about wreckfest when its full release comes out?
John Anderson yeah the day one patch I assume
They're pushing the micro-transactions a little harder every game, and it's like no one even cares anymore.
And we are talking currently about the (almost?) worst-case-scenario for the developer, right? I mean, there has been already a MTA-controversy because of EA's extreme brazeness with Battlefront 2...imagine how it would be now, if they had not pushed that much over time. Videogame industry is fucked.
Are you thick? The damn game barely has microtransactions, or do you feel that buying in game CLOTHING in a FIRST PERSON SHOOTER is something that's going to aid you in the game? You can even earn currency to purchase the damn transaction in game.
Or were you just too stupid to listen to that part? Stupid little bitch.
Yea this game’s a no buy for me. Microtransactions do not belong in a full priced title.
Noone cares. Because its awesome. Only poor people dont like them.
The Stowaway wtf r u talking about. Like y r u complaining about micro transactions in a single player game. Ur just another nagging little bitch
The fact that a professional sound engineer allowed there to be THAT much echo in a voiceover (a completely controlled environment) is insane. 3:55 (the black girl in case you couldn't tell)
ACG = Review
Everyone else = Review in progress
1st to review means nothing. You should always base your final judgement from an array of opinions as opposed to just accepting the 1st one that comes along. People like ACG but he is a person with subjective opinions that could differ from yours on certain criteria.
I trust ACG more than any mainstream media domain and I'm so grateful Karak delivers quality, in-depth reviews so quickly. The likes of IGN who have hundreds of employees still try and drag as many clicks through as possible before the final review is finally published even if it was completed days previously by the sole reviewer.
Lots of people do not get the game a week in advance like he does.
John-Paul Hunt Just ignore the microtransactions. They are completely unnecessary.
Achtung Karek talks fast, thinks fast and acts fast.
Your reviews are pretty much the only ones I watch now, I really dig the depth, structure, humor and effort you pump into these videos. I was unsure about this game and you answered every single question I had, as you usually do.
Thank you for your work Karak, keep it up (:
thanks dave
I can’t believe how fast you get these reviews out man, considering also playing/beating the game. I’m not putting any hate on Angry Joe but the dude has just given up on game reviews. It’s sad because when he does put effort into his videos/reviews it’s always entertaining. Thanks for always giving me and my wallet a great heads up about an interesting title. Keep up the great work Karak
You really are the gold standard for reviews
Hopefully the issues get patched. Very good review as always 👍🏻
thanks
They will. Wildlands was the same way with many of the same issues. They all got fixed eventually. While I would prefer no bugs in a game at launch, it's not realistic to expect such a thing. As long as they aren't game-breaking, I can deal. Most games from most other devs are the exact same way. Skyrim anyone? That game was a bugfest at release. I can't agree with Karak's wait for sale judgement, but if you don't want to deal with any bugs, you will need to wait a few months for them to get fixed.
Ubisoft tend to be pretty good at fixing issues, they've done it with most of their games, though Ubi tend to be more on the side of "make something new that no one has done before, perform voodoo magic to make sure it works somewhat, patch any bugs later"
Yeah, I'm sure there will be a 'performance' (fps, removing adaptive v sync, etc,etc) patch coming soon for the ps pro. That's the only option I generally use. I'm actually kinda glad it's not up yet, as much as I love the Farcry series, I got Nier: Automata recently and I am tired of the buying a game, getting 40% into it, and then buying and jumping into the next big game trap-like cycle I seem to have been caught up in lately.
Sellinga I really recommend that you finish Automata.
I always wait, I got Primal for $7 one year after release.
If you had a job you wouldn't get story spoiled

The story is absolute shit anyway lol
WH250398 Story is shit? Just shit? You're being too generous.
@@sriley064 If you had a job, you would be able to afford an education. So you can learn how the English language works.

And people can have a job and still not want to get pay $90 to $120 for every single new game
You are the best video game reviewer on this site. Thank you.
Piano Man - Piano Covers
Fancy seeing you here. You make great covers, dude.
100%
Angry Joe is better
Piano Man - Piano Covers if he was he would have millions of subs and views.
William barns That isn’t true at all. That is like saying PewDiePie is the best entertainer on YT because he has the most subs and views. Popularity doesn;’t equal quality. It means the content connects with more people, but is by no means an indicator of quality. Hence why professional eSports players are constantly lower in views on Twitch than amateur players they could wipe the floor with.
Fun review. Sounds like it'll be enjoyable after some patching.
GamerCalledBen Where have you been? No AAA releases are bug-proof Day 1.
GamerCalledBen It's not like this is a Bethesda game. Bugs and imbalances happen. It doesn't sound like they're even that terrible in this. Since when has Far Cry had great AI this decade?
Game sounds fun as is without "patches".
EvolutionOfMe to each their own
And lastly I hate multiplayer versions, Especially the story is Fascinating and you know it changes a lot of gameplays.
Played it for a few hours, loving it at the moment
Same here ive been playing it coop with a friend and having a blast.
i love how people wont buy a game because of what one person says. i usually listen to what he says but i bought it day one and have seen zero issues with it. everybody needs to get off their gaming high horses and come up with their own opinions and enjoy things.
Played for around 2 hours, ejected it, it's gong back. Dunno what makes it a far cry game. It could of been called anything else and no-one would say "hey this is a far cry game"
@@peteq1972 damn
One of the best game experiences I've had
Just picked it up for $15 hopefully worth it
The Steven Seagal Suppressor System Housing (SSSSH) is patent pending and set to hit the market early next fall just in time for the DLC.
Endyo what?
Haha what he said ^^^
MainesBurger 5:27 your answer lol
michaelal20 ohhh, thanks man
Seagal would be proud
I have played this game and finished it. So honestly it's definitely an amazing game. Way better than far cry 4. It has some good upgrades. And the story is great with good villains. I don't know if you should pay full price, maybe wait for a sale. This game has a lot to keep you occupied so will keep you busy with great missions.
seems like its more important add paid skins than having a proper AI
MarcoLoves360gamer You can also get the skins with in game money...
CinemaUnited But not better AI
Then why the fuck can you also pay for them? They really don't want you to spend in game credits on them
It's a singleplayer game, any form of payment system is absolutely insulting to the players. Should just crack the game and cheat everything you need, after buying it.
People that defend microtransactions make me mad.
Another average Far Cry game. Why can't they ever challenge themselves and try to make the best game possible? This series always feels just "good enough" and that's it. The clunky animations, gameplay and graphics are always the same old, same old. Aggh
That's why I like about it - like going to drink that beer in that bar you know is nice and good. Not everything can be made amazing, if it were than nothing would be amazing.
weses2 Minimal effort, maxim profits. Blame the consumers for not rising their standards.
Looks like a game I'll have a lot of fun with for $20
Caleb R Dude you that cheap? Thats not even a cost for a beer
J Easter at the end of the day he's saving money.
Caleb R pirating is where it's at
Caleb R this game doesn't deserve to be 20 dollars its a masterpiece
J Easter where do you buy beer that its over 20$?
Does it explain why the National Guard doesn't just come in and lay waste?
They're busy building Trump's wall.
Noah Friscopp an easy explanation that I would pen is that the governor's religious bias is the reason why the cult is not pacified through superior government force.
The House Always Wins considering this takes place in Montana and the NG is state funded not federal. This is an impossibly poor reason.
I heard throughout the game you realize the outside world is in turmoil or something bad is about to happen wink wink “nuclear war”
They make a deadzone at the start of the game i heard. IF that's true i could believe a 24hr-48hr response time if the game took place over that long.
Just got this for $15 on the Xbox store. My first far cry game played ever and I’m having a blast with it. I don’t normally play single player games but I can see myself playing this all the way through.
Regardless how the game plays, you can have a pet mountain lion and you can pet it.
*1000/10 best game*
"dont let the AI drive anywhere". Halo Reach Legendary Solo run-through flashbacks. bahahahahaha (i still hate your driving Kat!!!)
Far Cry 5 actually has well written characters, a story, and the gameplay helps the story.....Assassin's Creed could learn a thing or two
Assassin's Creed is a great game now
@@djfrost5420 well I'm not sure about odyssey
I knew it! None of the other reviews bring up the spawning issue, felt fishy that noone's giving this game ANY bad points at all. Thanks.
Thanks for the awesome reviews.
You don't always review the games I'm interested in but I appreciate you raising the bar on what a quality reviewers should be.
I know you've had tough times with RUclips. However, you do awesome work and hope you got a long future as a reviewer.
Have fun.
thanks Charles
Game $60, DLC $30, PLUS Micro Transactions $10-100. I didn't like when DLC became a charged situation, but to also have to pay for micro transactions after you already payed so much into the game, ridiculous.
This game isn't worth it at the $13 I paid for it. This could be a good game if I could actually play through the first driving scene on hard mode.
cfcreative So youre just bad...
Your narration is excellent. Sub’d.
thanks!
Seeing gameplay for this game over the last while the thing I have noticed the most is just how pathetic the enemy AI seemed to be... And unfortunately now my suspicions have been confirmed.
I just don't understand this shit. There has been games with so much better AI than these current generation games for like a decade.
Its like devs just don't pay attention to something that is so important these days and instead are too focused on visuals or padding games out artificially.
I don't care if the AI is dumb on lower levels but when I'm playing my game on hard and I constantly see enemies straight up charging me even though they have a big ass gun in their hand, or have enemies that have me dead to Rights but instead they stand there yelling to their mates and then 9 seconds later decide to start shooting.... Yeah that's when my suspension of disbelief just gets destroyed.
Mitch H looks just boring overall
Subi_fan lmao ya name’s subi fan so I’ll assume you’re twelve. You’ve obviously only played games with crap AI if you think the only way to do higher difficulty ai is with higher awareness and accuracy...
You don't understand how hard it is to program a balance. They could easily have the AI shoot you between the eyes instantly
Love the jacobs latter reference...not many modern day gamers will get it but us older gamers who love the horror genre too get it.
you don't need to spend a DIME on this game beyond retail price. microtransactions are optional and on my personal experience, by just looting and completing side missions you get enough cash to get any gun you want, eventually.
imicca agreed, I haven’t wanted to spend any money on the game because you can literally find tons of silver bars everywhere
Wait for a sale is what I do 99% of the time, the only time I’ll buy a day 1 release is if it’s a game like the Witcher 3 or bloodborne, games that I just couldn’t wait to play. Great review as always.
the devs on this team clearly failed on AI development, they should learn from devs of Assassin's Creed Origins
Far Cry -
I've been a fan of this series since the first game some 15 years ago on PC.
It's always been a franchise that has delivered excellent storylines, explosive action and evil bad guys befitting of a Hollywood blockbuster.
The current Gen has continued to deliver this, while at times getting a tad repetitive. This is feel is the biggest challenge to FC5 and one which according to some they've managed to sieve out. Time will tell on that one.
The opening segment of this game is nothing short of breathtaking. The opening of a game is very important to me as a busy husband and dad of two. The opening of a game really is what helps me decided whether I will invest the time into playing a game until it's done. Whether I will spend hours in an evening after everyone has gone to bed immersing myself in that world. Far Cry 5 had me hooked from the start.
That gut feeling of excitement thanks in part to the visual presentation and of course the audible aspect. The music is on point. Like with other Far Cry games, you meet your enemy very quickly. The helicopter ride down to the compound to collect him is incredibly unnerving. I thoroughly recommend using a headset to okay this game as hearing the whispers of your enemies followers as you slowly creep past them just further adds to the nerve. The game quickly descends into chaos and you are left stranded in the world with absolutely no sense of direction or where you are headed. Ubisoft made an incredibly brave decision NOT to include a minimap which absolutely get you lost in the thick of it. Speaking of the world.... Wow. Graphically superior to most open world games they have truly captured the American world perfectly with this. From forests to highways and small towns to the mountains.
The wildlife you meet along the way seems to have its own eco system. The deer in your headlights look up just before inevitably plough them down as you escape your enemies. You are truly in an immersed experience which you won't forget in a hurry.
A tongue in cheek mission at the start sees you scaling a huge radio tower thanks to the instructions in your ear piece, with the instructee chuckling that he won't be making you do this all over the map. Referencing back to previous games where this was the method of opening up undiscovered areas much to the displeasure of some.
The gun fire is so raw that it genuinely feels like you are shooting a weapon and once again the in game sound further backs this experience up. Downed enemies will receive treatment from their squad mates and come back from near death to further add to your plight.
This game is worth every penny you'll spend for the opening 40 minutes alone. It captures the essence of being stranded from the start and I'm sure with more play and as you gather allies you'll start to feel more powerful and less abandoned. Ubisoft have hit the nail on the head of their aim was to get people hooked from the beginning and I cannot wait to get further lost in Hope County, MT.
40 minute score - 9/10
I agree, the game is even more tense and immersive if you turn off all the overkill bling bling UI, and go for a more realistic approach. The only UI I use is interaction prompts: sadly though, for some missions you really do need a bit of UI on, which breaks the immersion, as it is impossible to locate your target/objective. Overall, this game is brilliant.
Great review as always brother. Looking forward to buying it now that I have a proper review. Stopped pre ordering stuff a long time ago.
appreciate it
ACG reviews are the only reviews I need :)
I've tried Far Cry 2,3, and 4 and didn't like them. The gameplay progression and loop always felt like busy work. A map full of objective markers to clean up. Liberating outpost after outpost. Respawning patrols breaking immersion and making victories feel meaningless. It didn't feel rewarding to me.
I keep giving each new entry a try though, hoping for an improvement. I'm hoping Far Cry 5 will be good enough to keep me playing but the criticism about the AI and patrols is very discouraging. I'll rent it from GameFly. Thank you, ACG for another great and informative review.
I feel the same way. So what's been your experience with this one?
Played it intensely for the last 2 days, and have to say it's one of the best games I've ever played, and I've been playing games since 1982.
Sounds like i should wait till the "GOTY" edition includes all DLC plus Far Cry 5 v1.6
Pretty much always the best option for any title imo.
Hello I love your content! but how much but rate do you use to render your vids and record em?
Well, it is from ubisoft.. id probably try to poke it with a stick before anything
I will still be buying this. Mainly because I know that Ubisoft has a long way to go in terms of AI, but I feel like they're making progress with other elements of the game. Across all their titles, they really need a better AI system, and better character models.
They're also one of the few companies now that hasn't gone nuts with their cash shop bs... although it would be better if it was excluded entirely.
I noticed from gameplay vids that med-kits are hard to come by, and cost $250 a piece... and most enemies drop like $9 or something. Still, I hope the entire industry shifts their views on cash shops, and this one isn't bad enough to boycott.
I never preorder games, though I did a few days ago after seeing all the gameplay for it. I've never played a FC game before, so I'm psyched. Gonna be playing the others in the series afterwards. Do you need Xbox Live Gold/PS Plus to play the Arcade?
Far Cry 5 Pros & Cons
---------------------------------
Pros:
1.Great graphics
2.Great story
3.Fun gameplay
4.Very unforgetable antagonist as always (like Vaas Montenegro & Pagan Min from the previous games)
5.Beautiful setting
6.Pretty long game
7.No Radio Towers (it was nice in FC 3&4 but they can't put that in every game)
8.Huge open world
Cons:
1.The main character has no personality (no name, never talks, very forgettable)
2.Too many enemies & car patrols
3.No crafting
4.Skinning animals only gives you money (and a little bit of skills perks)
5.No skinning animation
6.No mini map
7.It's not that easy to get money (the game forces you to do boring prepper stashe's quests for extra cash)
8.Very messy game (there is no order to the story missions)
9.Some story missions feels like side missions (or just not that connected to the story)
No mini map is totally a pro.
The character you play as I admit is a little meh but you can create your own personality to your self
For number 7, hunting gives you mad cash.
You can craft.You can still get quite a bit of momey doing other activities.No skinning animation is a pro because it got very repetitive especially when you killed a group of animals that ambush you.Same goes for searching enemies.This is coming from a person who played the hell out of far cry 4 and now im playing the hell out of far cry 5 and enjoying it
Beautiful setting? Shocking... It's probably the most boring and lackluster setting that I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing in a video game.. I'll literally sum up the setting with 3 words : Trees, farms and rivers.
Personally I’d say this is a buy, hands down. It’s an absolutely beautiful game, and fun as hell, 100% of the time; whether your deep in the story or just blowing shit up
i just recently started watching your game reviews and have to say you really do an excellent job.
The game is a load of fun. Nobody should compare it to all the other Far Cry games because they try to branch out to something new here.
The main game is good but there is a load of shitty tedious shit in here. (Not even talking about the fishing here)
The games forced story that makes your character dumb for easily being kidnapped every fucking hour....
The games dumb enemies for not killing you during said kidnapping....
The games forced decisions that usually result in team mates or yourself being damaged or killed by means out of your control....
You can really enjoy the game as an open world game, but as a solo movie style game...it is terribly forced.
You feel disconnected from your character because even when you killed boss characters, you still feel like you lost.
Its not a satisfying feeling to have been kidnapped, got severely friends killed and hurt just to kill 1 dude and have to repeat it for the next region....
Due to the poor FPS releases in Q4 last year our hunger for a coop Farcry has convinced us to get this at release but I have tempered my expectations due to the previous entries.
far cry 5 needed to be the Assassin's Creed Origins of the franchise. Something new, fresh and awesome. I won't buy because it just looks like Far Cry 4: America.
ITS FAR CRY 4 BUT NO TOWERS ITS FUCKING PERFECT (and also planes, helicopters, pet bears, comedically better characters, and having bears be stuck in helicopters)
@@arieson7715 Is It Still worth buying?
Glad you mentioned the microtransactions. The AI is just as dumb as it was in FC2 by the looks of things, weapon sounds seem just as arcadey too, explosions have nice particles though.
Waiting for a sale is probably the best thing to do.
123456gordon the gun audio isn't great but it's preferable to the pea shooters in Grand Theft Auto.
Or you could just wait a few weeks for such issues to be patched. If you wait for games that have no bugs, you'll be waiting forever.
Been waiting for this. I’ve always been skeptical of Far Cry since after Far Cry 3.
Johnny Hills III same here I haven't played through a full far cry since 3
I've haven't played far cry at all
I enjoyed Far Cry 3 more than 4 but I did like 4 and Far Cry Primal was something different and for the most part it was a fun game
I just find them to pretty much have assassins creed and cod problems. Each game just feels wayy to much like the last. I had to force myself to finish 4
Far cry 3 was fantastic tried 4 barely could even get into it. This one looks different.
"Wait for a sale.."
Just buy this at half price in six months. Plenty of great games out there to play in the meantime.
Can’t wait to play it! I have a soft spot for this series despite all of its flaws.
As soon as i actually play FC4 and Primal, that have been gathering dust in my library for eons, i'll get this, i figure it'll be $20 by then too, just like FC3, FC4 and Primal were when i bought them :D
EQOAnostalgia just finished far cry primal a couple of months ago and far cry 4 today lol, i wont be buying this anytime soon, looks like a re skinned far cry 4.
Honestly.. don't even waste your time playing Primal.
VOTV I liked FC4 much more than 5, mostly for it’s interesting/varied locations and story. There were certainly gameplay improvements in 5 though.
Thank you for taking the time to post this review. Very helpful! :-)
Anyone else sick of plans constantly spotting you and ruining missions or your free roam?
It would be nice if Far Cry games of late had an option to switch off all aids. In that way immersion would rocket, as well as gun play. The whole looking through walls, circles telling you where gun fire is coming from and icons on the screen (as opposed to looking an actual map) just make it all too easy. It is as if publishers are scared people may actually have to use tactics to play their game.
AchtungEnglander the whole franchise is aids
Primal allowed you to do this.
Agree. In TCWildlands i switched everyghing off, set to hard lvl,and it was actually quite decent.My friends and i had to have an actual plan when approaching quests.I hate it when its all dumbed down.
AchtungEnglander you can
thanks. I did not know this. Appreciate letting me know
I hope they paying you well, these reviews are always on point.
Bought this early over the weekend and after 10 hours in I can say it's an enjoyable title, but nothing revolutionary.
Keep up the good work man, love the content.
Farcry Arcade alone is worth full price to me. Ive already seen people make great horror maps and Battle Royale maps and shit. Its pretty much endless content and the single player is just icing.
Thanks Karak, the best real reviewer. You wade through this shit, so we don't have too. I have a massive bias against games with add-ons planned before release so this won't be one for me. Your reviews are as unbiased as I believe possible, with a sprinkle of humor. Have a nice day.
sure. But you should also check folks like Skillup. Very good reviewer
This game has add ins
ACG thanks for the suggestion, my guy. Legendary as always
*to
Alfie Ryan Totally agree that month 1 DLC stuff is absolute bullshit but would also like to say that the Farcry team usually does a good job of releasing add-ons of things that wouldn't be in the base game (shit that wasn't just cut out a week before release). Nice that they give you a general idea of what you're getting with a season pass instead of just "idk, new gun skins in 4 months".
I was half way through another "big" name review - turned it off and here I am, again.
Thanks dude.
sure!
No Honeybadger + No MG42 = No Buy
this is true
You don't play with the bow? Why bother?
I think you should have mentioned the wonderful gospels specifically recorded for the game. I was amazed that they went those extra 10 miles!
Just to confirm, the game is beautiful looking and the weapon play is quite good.
The game looks amazing but the gunplay... meh
As soon as you mentioned frequent enemy patrols, I immediately had PTSD-esque flashbacks from Far Cry 2. God I hope it's not as bad as that was, in that regard.
Series peaked with FC3.
Video games have become so sad lately. I don't know why we're accepting this as an adequate game.
I prefer Primal although one boss is a major pain the ass because she can take arrows like there is no tomorrow.
How is the Editor on console? With 4, i didnt like it as much as 3, but i had a blast just making maps. i have 3X the hours into the editor then the game itself. I want to buy a FC on PS4, but i can run it on my rig if i wanted to.. I just wanna know how the editor runs.
Got it one day early, absolutely love it. Ubisoft had starting to get their shit together.
"NO no no this is not what you think! I will not have you climbing towers all over the county" Priceless!!
How deep a sale are we thinking, 20% off too little or just about right?
Sounds like a Buy to me! As long as they patch the problems up (which aren't anything drastic in the first place) I'm not seeing too many issues that bother me. I'm in for the *FUN FACTOR*! Side Note: Anybody else remember when Gamepro (or EGM) used a similar system to this and had those faces with the spiked hair if it was a 4 or 5/5? Thanx brother you ALWAYS give the best review. I bought Technomancer because of your review and I enjoyed it!
Looks fun but not 80$ of fun
Julien there’s a $60 version
still too much, i dont even buy the 52$ version.
Kevin Utley he’s probably Canadian
Get a gaming PC I pirated the game 😂
Julien I got it for 49.99 🙃
So ultimately should I go for this game???
The fact that this review has had twice as many views as IGN's in roughly the same time frame makes me feel all sorts of happy.
Personally micro transactions don't bother me so long as it's just cosmetic fluff that doesn't change the gsmeplay.
sliphstream it does, you can pay to unlock late-game prestige weapons, vehicles etc. Obviously its personal choice if you use it, but it exists in FC5
sliphstream I dunno, having microtransactions in a $60 single-player with a season pass stinks no matter how unobtrusive they are.
problem often is that they eventually DO. the publishers get cockier and cockier
Have to ask, I'm offline on my PS4, do I have to be online to even play the game? (Don't like uplay, does that still exist)
As an age old gamer...ive become sick of the paint by numbers sequels being spewed out year after year.
The cods the ass creeds the farcrys and battlefields.
Yawn!
Gaming has become stale for me.
If i was on xbox i feel like i would pack gaming in...its only cuz of ps4 exclusives that keep me interested.
But even ps4 is bogged with too many cash cow games.
Its a shame really...powerfull machines capable of great games having their nose rubbed in it by the nintendo switch.
I guess with power comes average games!
kingdom come is fun, divinity original sin 2 is great! I get what you are saying though. haven't played cod since 2, no battlefield since 3, couldn't finish any ac or far cry... I play mainly on the pc and mostly "indie" titles like subnautica, divinity os and such.
You should do a 'Walking the walk' on this game! I love that series! Thank you for the review. Love from Korea
Thanks for the detailed assessment. I hope the AI problems and silly attacks you mentioned will be addressed soon via patch. Not sure how good Ubisoft usually is with this stuff?
jayfore Ubisoft are kings at patches. Rainbow6Siege for example
Great review as always. Glad i didn't wait for a sale though :). I feel like Ubisoft is just getting better and better. AC Origins was my favorite game last year and i feel like i already got my moneys worth with this in the 20 hours ive played. Loving it so far. Thanks again... Great review
True. I feel the same way, I can't believe how much better they are becoming now. I ABSOLUTELY HATED to old Assassins Creeds, but they took a year off and made a masterpiece. It's no longer boring.
I have only got 5 hours in but this game is fucking awesome
Yeah guys. I have about 35 hours now. This game is still keeping me amazed. Im laughing, tearing up... Its just genius and most importantly, FUN. I agree with the old Assassin's Creeds, i never liked them either. Ubisoft is definitely moving in the right direction in my opinion. Just makes me sad when my favorite reviewer says to wait for a sale on these great games :( :( :(
30 hours in..this game is amazing and i would rate it 9/10, but i agree that its not worth 60$.
the way i see it, a game worth 60$ if it can hold about 500 hours of gameplay.
I dont feel that way. I go to dinner for an hour and spend $60 and poop it out that night. I appreciate the years of hard work and totally dont mind paying for an amazing experience thats 20+ hours. Far Cry is way over that and you could also get unlimited hours in the arcade. 10-15 hour games that are $60 do bother me though :)
Best reviews of any kind on the internet -- Always my go-to when thinking about buying a game. Keep it up man !
The ONLY reviewer we watch.
No other channel matters. Let’s be honest. NO BS. Just real
Karak is on fire this week! Nice going man!
I cant understand what you said shortly after 6:15, maniacal as pagan min and m....ar as vaas, i cant catch the word, english is not my native language, please help :)
Material
Very nice detailed reviews. An actual complete review unlike IGNs half finished, biased, and short reviews. Though you mentioned gun sounds, would've been nice to actually hear a quick sideshow of each weapon type being fired or some, with and without Supp. But subscribed anyway
Hey Videoman, thanks for all the uploads
sure
