ye 24%
ne 76%

Far Cry 5 popped up a few days ago, and I kinda forgot it existent before hand, and wasn't exactly enthusiastic about buying it, it immediately sat in the realm of "wait for a deep discount", which will be about 7 months away at least.

No Caption Provided

Were you hyped for this game? Did you buy it? Are you happy with your purchase?

A little bit, actually most hyped I've been for a while.

Game exceeds expectations. Yes, it's more of the same. But better!

Absolutely not, because I don't dig FC3 and 4 like a lot of people do, but this one is genuinely fun.

Picking it up Friday. I don't really get hyped for games anymore. There are games i look forward to but i have so much to play at this point that i like playing It's not like i thirst or get all excited for games. I pretty much know it's coming and I'll play it. Yay.

No. not really. i will play it at some point. but it looks like every other far cry game ie getting boring before the end.

i kinda liked FC3 but 4 and primal are terrible.

I can't bring myself to finish FC3, it just bores me to death. So no, no hype here from me.

Nope. My mindset is that if they make a FarCry that doesn't suck, I might get it. I'm not convinced yet that FC5 doesn't suck.. It looks so casual to me. Nothing is a challenge, enemies are highlighted, AI is stupid, you have regenerating health so you can just move behind something and wait if you're for some odd reason close to dying, multi-player seems half-assed.. These are things I picked up just by watching a few minutes of gameplay from a random video. At least you can kill stupid americans, so that's something..

My expectations are really low, so maybe I get pleasantly surprised.

Wasn't hyped and was going to wait for it to be on sale, but after seeing a few reviews praising it for the most part I decided to bite the bullet and purchased it. So far it's been fun, although I am still not very far into it.

No buyers remorse...yet.

you can turn off taging enemies and see through walls.

but year its just another far cry game. i take it over COD, BF or assassins creed anyday.

between all 4 rehash series every year. it appears that far cry is lesser of evil.

I haven't been that excited for Wildlands, watch dogs, ass creed and far cry in general. Eventhough I'd like to play those games, I can't get excited.

I'm just tired of formulaic Ubisoft open world games. I'd rather have another Prince of Persia or Splinter Cell.

No but I bought it because the campaign is co-op, and games are always better played with friends.

not every but every 2 year later

2012: FC3

2014: FC4

2016: FC primal

2018: FC 5

so expect next in 2020.

Ubisoft annualize it along with assassins creed. i mean from now. 2015 has AC, 2017 has, its skipping 2018 and 2019 is AC year.

I'm admittedly not enjoying this one, and I've enjoyed each Far Cry game in the past. But, I must disclose, I'm sick lately, and it's effecting my concentration and energy and probably having some effect on my enjoyment. So, it could just be me... or not.

But, some nitpicks I can't help but point out, I often find when I go over to a body to loot it of the few bucks they offer that the game annoyingly makes it really easy to pick up enemy weapons instead by mistake, and like half the time instead of looting I'm picking up their weapons by accident.

I don't like this perk system, and things like additional weapons holsters and new types of weapons require in game money and/or higher level to get and I feel they lock too much out too early.

Some other things seem real cheap too, like skinning animals had a really cool animations in say Far Cry 3, but the way animals are skinned here is so awful it's something you'd expect from some cheap $5 Steam indie game.

One other thing that bugs me I'm calling it that Otis bullshit, like in Dead Rising, there's interactions with random NPCs that give you areas to explore or side quests, while you're trying to get them you have to listen to the entire thing, if you walk too far away it stops without giving you the objective, or if something like a turkey comes and scares the NPC it interrupts it. I wish simply starting the conversation would be enough, you'd think, someone didn't think this through.

They must of scored it by the amount of content it has because I don't think its worth a 6/10. Same shit boring as hell waste of money IMO.

@rrjim1: I disagree. The Far Cry games are great. Just really enjoyable fun shooters. I know some people automatically dismiss them as trash because UBIsoft.

But each to there own in my opinion.

Looking at your post history i see you don’t really like many games though so i can see why you’d hate games like this so much.

I was not, but I picked it up at launch for $43, and I have no regrets about it. It's actually really good.

I was and I am not disappointed in what I have played so far. Story seems interesting so far and oddly enough exploring Hope County is fun. It's kinda weird not have a mini-map to point the player in a general direction but I like the decision to not include it. Makes the game feel more natural. Also helps the main map itself is not cluttered with pointless side stuff like FC4. They made a better game easily this time around.

I didn't like 3 and 4 enough to get hyped for another one. I doubt ill ever buy it.

I enjoyed Blood Dragon though for its 80s theme and humor.

Kind of. It's the most recent Far Cry that piqued my interest. Something I can't say for the last two.

Not at all. Coming off Primal, which I gave up quickly, I wasn't expecting much. That being said, i'm enjoying the game.
