    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.

    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!

    • @jinx20001
      @jinx20001 6 лет назад +157

      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.

    • @dedokodo5
      @dedokodo5 6 лет назад +39

      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.

      @Brown614 6 лет назад +32

      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.

    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

      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.

    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.

    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.

      @loganallen4646 6 лет назад +2

      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.

    • @levoGAMES
      @levoGAMES 6 лет назад +7

      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 ^^

      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.

      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.

    @jakemarch-jones2789 6 лет назад +5

    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

    • @GMak81
      @GMak81 6 лет назад +1

      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.

  • @UItraVice
    @UItraVice 5 лет назад +5

    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....

  • @moltenbullet
    @moltenbullet 6 лет назад +6

    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.

  • @mitcHELLOworld
    @mitcHELLOworld 6 лет назад +39

    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.

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.

For those that don't know, Legacy controls have you moving forward and backwards with the left control stick as well as turning left and right. The Right stick has you looking up and down and strafing left and right.
    If any of you could verify what kind of controls this game has, especially if it has Legacy, I would greatly appreciate it.

    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)

      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.

    games decent for 20 good details,audio allright,I'm pretty much decided all game companies that pump out 1 yearly I wait for game sales and just play what genre I'm truly into till then.

    Thanks dude.

    I totally agree. It gets way too chaotic sometimes and the enemies are like never ending.

      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.

    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

    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!

    This is the best far cry imo. The map is the biggest in the series and the graphics are amazing with the Xbox x. Some gameplay are new and the mechanics are still the same. I started playing it at first 1pm and haven’t turned it off yet please buy this game it’s amazing

      Damien Weirdo idk if you've finished it at this point but i dont think this was best far cry. No crafting system and the spawning system is kinda bs lol. But the worst thing is the ending man. Stop here if you havent finished.
      The ending just suck. You dont get that satisfying ending after all the shit you went through.

      Aaron Nichols Really surprised he didn't discuss that aspect more considering that seems to be the majority of people's issues with the series

      Aaron Nichols because Vaas dropped a nuke at the end of the game

      At least there’s no shitty tower puzzles and you actually have to explore the world to get quests and reveal everything instead of them overwhelming you as soon as you open the map.
