GameSpot WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LOBBY?!? I’ve been a listener since the Danny o Dwyer days and am deeply dissaponted it’s been 3 months into 2018 and not even a word about the lobby. I would listen every week :(
I've done the same, there's so much to do like side missions and prepper stashes. Finding new areas which unlock story missions, which I didn't even realize you could unlock story missions by exploring new areas until I did it accidently lol.
Yeh so amazing , play 5hrs and took some bases , bashed the save button and see the next day no save game and start from begin and have to watch the freakin scenes again with no option to skip. God damnit .... But gotta say I really like the graphics and also nice story line. Also just for exploring the map and not doing the story line is also a lot of fun.
To me, the narrative was not confusing at all. The reason why it seem confusing is because the villains attempt to disorient you as the protagonist. It made perfect sense what was happening in the plot.
Look at the comeback of Ubisoft man. - Watchdogs 2 redeemed the first game. - Assassins Creed Origins and the constant free events and support and no yearly releases. - Far Cry 5’s improvement over 4. - The Division updated constantly for free to make it one of the best looter shooters out there in its current state. - For Honor not being abandoned and being constantly supported. - Siege being supported with updates and events. - MARIO + Rabbids Actually good to see one of the three companies listen to the players (EA, Activision & Ubisoft)
I can’t count how many spontaneous combustions I’ve been a part of from trying to smash through roadblocks where a random rpg “sniper” spawns... I’ve learned to always keep 2 companions and never have them both in the same vehicle with me when I have my mind set on doing dumb shit lol
N0va Reminds me of a night out I had to the pub when one of them annoying turkey birds attacked me and I ended up falling into a window and landing on the floor with a plastic bag full of money and coke worth 700 bucks. My point is when you see a fucking turkey you K ow it's going to lead to something weird.
Love FC5; started playing it Friday before lunch & by the time I'd checked the clock again it was 4am & my eyes were on fire! 😅Utterly addictive & the open-endedness just has that draw of "ill just go there & do this, then I'll do this on the way here..."
Corey [James] Haims Seriously? Tell me more about it. Your insights would be greatly helpful and appreciated. I'm still in a lurch whether to buy FC5 or not. You know cuz it's Ubisoft. I'm just scared that FC5 may be too similar to the previous iterations.
Harsh Singh If you've played any/all of the others I think you owe it to yourself to give FC5 a go - if only to see how far the series has progressed. FC3 was a game changer for me and this is another level above this. I agree with most reviews that the story/plot could have genuinely been something really interesting, but they've kinda played it safe - it doesn't matter though because the sandbox you get to play in just overshadows this by miles. Honestly is the most rounded in terms of having sheer accessibility to your environment - wingsuits, parachutes/airdrops, helicopters, planes, boats, ATVs/cars/trucks... You can approach any mission in any number of ways it is genuinely impressive. Understand your caution before buying, having looked at in game currency there are microtransactions if you really really wanted but you honestly wouldn't want to bother - just doing missions gives you fighter planes, attack helicopters etc. which is refreshing to see. Personally, I just bought the base game as I'm not interested in any of the DLC packs (unless it is another Blood Dragon!) and you get Far cry arcade for free anyway - this is user created levels and in about 2-3 weeks I can see some fantastic creations coming out from us players and can't wait to see what creative madness appears!
Thanks so much guys for your suggestions. I'll give FC5 a go. Looking at all your positive comments regarding this game makes me less apprehensive about Ubisoft now. :) I tend not to trust on 'game reviews' for obvious reasons. Find it much better to get the opinions of gamers. Thanks for the help everyone.
All Faith wanted was to be loved. All John wanted was to be understood. All Jacob wanted was to save the strong from the weak. All The Father wanted was to guide the misguided to salvation. All Rook wanted was to lay down some armor and set up kill holes with his impact grenades... Oh shit wrong game.
tbh I get why the villains were so twisted, the shit that happened to them sucked, but none of that excuses their actions towards others. Just because faith is a huge crack whore doesn't mean everyone else in Hope county needs to be. Just because John was physically abused to the point of losing his humanity doesn't mean he should treat others the same, now most of what Jacob's preaching I do agree with, humanity has become weak and all that nonsense, but he's trying to fix it in probably the most horrible and ineffective way yet. Finally, Joseph lost his wife, right? That's why he had his vision or whatever, but he shouldn't have listened. He killed his own kid, and it wasn't even a mercy kill. She would've lived had he not pinched off the ventilator tube. They all deserve death for what they've done to make others suffer, and I gladly delivered. I shot John out of the sky like the pitiful excuse for a human being he was, I shredded faith into bits with an MG-42 and blasted her ass to kingdom come with the RAT-4, I had an insanely fun sniper duel with Jacob and blew his head clean off his shoulders (not really, but had it been real life...), and I whooped Joseph's ass until the bliss fueled "apocalypse" drove us into Dutch's bunker, later to come out of the bliss on top of the only radio tower in the game that you can interact with, that being within the first two hours of gameplay.
If you ever feel like driving 12 hours, definitely check out Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, some of the oldest Redwoods left in existence, such an amazing lush forest!
Why are bears so sneaky tho? I play without hud and have had so many late night jumpscares when I’m quietly sneaking through the woods and out of nowhere the camera gets violently yanked down and suddenly there’s a bear trying to tear my fucking arm off.. *FUCK*
Video: Games published by Ubisoft were easily recognizable... Me: The Ubisoft logo at startup is a bit of a giveaway. Video: The UIs were cluttered... Me: Unless you turned off all the optional clutter in the options menu. Video: The screen were littered with waypoints... Me: Unless you turned off the optional waypoints in the options menu. Video: And the minimaps-- Me: That you can turn off in the options menu. Video: --were covered in a multitude of icons, collectibles, and miscellaneous tasks. Me: That you can turn off in the options menu. Video: But lately that hasn't been the case. With the release of ACO, Ubisoft shied away from its usual formula. It removed much of the crowded UI-- Me: That you can turn on in the options menu. Video: --and completely erased the infamous mini-map. Me: Replacing it with a compass bar that does the same thing. That you can turn off in the options menu.
I love exploring in this game! You sometimes come across a sign that shows a hiking trail. I love to wonder up there because there's usually something interesting up ahead, like a deserted cabin with some goodies inside..
A spot on review for once. I agree, the plot is far from great, but the experience in open world exploration makes up for all of that. There's always something to do, and it's fun to do so.
Farcry 5 is one of the few games that nailed an "organic" feeling progression through a story. Instead of walking here cause a blip says to, i stumble upon things and they roll out naturally as you play
Same. I was going to give it a miss because Far Cry 4 was mostly chasing collectibles. I get distracted too easily by collectibles and end up hating myself and the game. It's great to know they've toned it down a lot in Far Cry 5, still going to wait for a sale though.
You know a game is good when you can play for hours without really doing anything. And have a ball doing it. Far Cry 5 is one of them. As is Dying Light, Homefront The Revolution... Love Far Cry 5. Love rescuing roadside hostages. Far Cry 4 still has the best weapons roaster of the franchise.
Just starting my 2nd region of the game, im smitten. Far cry 5 is so well done. You can explore as much or as little as you want while still completing objectives, and not totally wasting time. It rewards you for snooping around, taking the long way to objectives, and talking with the people. Its drawn me in wanting more.
I love this video, very good points raised, exactly my thoughts after playing almost 50 hours and exploring every nook and crany without getting bored...and then..you can even reset the outposts!
I just love how the world feels alive and chaotic like I was hunting with boomer and grace in the southwest corner of the map an seen a pig on fire running across a field torching the whole thing
it really defines emergent gameplay, haven't' bought a ubi title in ages simply because I hated the minimap and question mark forumula, however this game is immersive and I love it
I love FC5's story, personally. I just wish it took a lot longer to reach the end, that it didn't force you into the final confrontations with the Seed brothers, or that the cultists didn't disappear from a region just because the Seed brother was killed. I want to spend more time running around killing cultists, hunting and fishing. As it is, I'm already into my third play-through.
I personally think Ubisoft stumbled upon something great with this game. Like the reviewer said it reminds me of Fallout 3 with the exploration and humor. I think Bliss could be the new Jet or Psycho! I was reluctant to buy this game, but it it is hands down my favorite game right now! I think if you are a fallout fan you owe it to yourself to play this game, and with some fine tuning Ubisoft could give some of us Fallout fans that are not really impressed with the direction of Fallout 4 something to sink our time into. Lastly, Ubisoft please do a post apocalyptic Far Cry I just want to see it happen.
Since the days of Just Cause 1 and Mercenaries, I've often wondered why nobody has created a game like this but WITHOUT any cutscenes or story. You start by getting dropped into the map somewhere which is being fought over by 2-4 factions. You learn about everything through talking and exploring and as you play, YOU decide which faction (or factions or none of them) you wish to fight for. It opens up so many possibilities to be a goodie, a baddie or a person playing all sides. Do you side with the govt against the locals? Do you aim to take over the location yourself and rule? Or do you support the locals? It offers so many opportunities to delve into the grey areas of morality and "one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist." You pick the side you want and make your own story.
lwaves You should really try out Saints Row 2. One of the best sandbox games of all time that gave me the freedom of exploring in a natural, unforced way.
+Psychotic Trait I know it well. Not only is it the best SR game (by a long way) it's one of my fave games. I definitely see what you're getting at by suggesting it but you still start as a 'baddie' and it still has a story line to follow, rather than creating your own.
lwaves Ah, I was mostly talking about exploration. How much freedom and momentum the game was. Literally everytime you come out of your crib you’ll see a gang shoot out unfold or police beating the shit out of a civilian. It truly showed how chaotic Stilwater is. I definitely got vibes from that in Far Cry 5. Honestly, Far Cry 5 is one of my favorite open world shooters of all time that’s next to Saints Row 2.
+Psychotic Trait I loved how it had all those underground areas, some you could easily miss without exploring. I really missed that in SR3 and though the map was terrible which then let down the whole game, it was so small yet they gave you planes!! I'm loving FC5 too and yes the story isn't great, or the way it's delivered isn't, but that applies to so many other games too that are still great. I know some others complain about the fact that you're still taking over outposts but it's the freedom of how you do it that makes it fun. And it definitely is fun and entertaining which is surely the main point of gaming.
The thing i like about this game is that as you explore Hope County , The Map gets Greener and more colorful , At the start of the game only Dutch's Island is green and the rest of the county is Black And Grey . Really encourages you to walk around exploring and just having a great time in general.
First far cry game I've played.. first game in a LONG time I have been addicted to. Got the game two days ago and have played it every spare second I can.
A lot of people complain about the forced captures, but you're absolutely right in that it's a far more organic way of driving the main story forward. If you end up missing a few side missions, well, you can go back and do them when the main story is complete. As a company not only making an open world game, but trying to tell a story through it can be really challenging, and this is a good way to address the problem with pacing. It did seem a bit extreme, though, with every hostage rescued or silo destroyed progressing you towards those unavoidable cuts. But the ending? Any of them? Ug. That's one part I can't overlook.
50 hours in and completed the story finally. Done every prepper stash and outpost, now just the left over side missions. Haven't enjoyed a game this much in a while :')
every time someone mention botw it makes me feel theres still hope In the gaming Industry (by far one of the best games i've played, everyone should atleast try it)
They should make a movie outta FC5. Joseph is the most charismatic villain ever, Story is fucking awesome, Setting perfect. All in all for me Far Cry 5 is perfect
Now this is the type of positive review I was looking for. Really well said and well researched! I'm subbing because I want to see what you come out with next.
This is the first game where I’ve actually felt like I’m there, walking around the forests and stuff checking out the lakes and hiking, almost doesn’t feel like a game lol love it
One thing I'm so happy about with Ubisoft is how much more emphasis they're putting into their side quests. In AC:Origins, the sidequests could have (in most, not all cases) easily been mistaken as full blown story quests rather than optional side content. This is a very, very good shift and Ubisoft just needs to continue to expand on these little things to make their games better. All they really need to change is the lootbox/microtransaction stuff and quit locking content behind an online service. Include everything in the game without purchase or online challenges, just give us fun, goofy stuff that doesn't actually add anything other than bragging rights.
I'm not one who has ever enjoyed exploring but I fucking love exploring in this game. I've spent just as much time running around the woods finding campsites, cabins and people than I have playing missions.
I couldn't care less about the main story, and yet Far Cry 5 is all I ever wanted Far Cry to be. It's like a tribute to anyone who happens to favor gameplay and free-roaming over story, and I absolutely love it. The game almost feels like an interactive diary, you just go out and do whatever you want at any time. It's the most enjoyable sandbox I've ever been in.
After sinking about 20 hours into the game spit up between my own story and co-op with friends i can say this is the most honest review ive come across. Theres always gonna people who play it for 5 minutes and hate it for no reason besides its not another brain dead CoD or other who paint it as the greatest gift to video games. I found it to be deep and rich but still feel a bit of let down and hunger for the story that could have been. But as time goes on more lore is uncovered theories formulated and more reason to return into the fight. Sweet video. Liked and subbed
I loved Primal. Having "no guns" was a great challenge and the animal aspect it introduced was clever, inventive and fun. I love open world games like that.
I loved Primal too. Great stone age simulator. Fit nicely with Far Cry gameplay. Couldn't help but get the feeling that the AC team wanted to time travel all the way back to the stone age, but couldn't because it was too far away from the Templar-Assassin conflict. And then the Far Cry Team was like: "We'll take care of it."
I always thought that a far cry taking place on the celtic uprising would be cool, more advanced melee combat, weapons crafting, you can pick who to be with between the Celts and the romans, noticeable historic figures like boudica and paulinus, and an area system taking place in the Roman colosseum
Mike, i couldn't of said it better myself. You don't, just explore this game with you eyes , but with your ears aswell. You hear or see something in the distance and it piques your curiosity. Not knowing what you'll get yourself into is so thrillng. You really have to see things like a detective, otherwise you'll miss what's really there. It might seem like an ordinary barn, silo or house to you .. But you're wrong, the clues are in plain sight. This game will appeal to the thrillseekers looking for that adrenaline rush..or the stealthly player (dont set off any alarms) The beauty of this game isnt just the scenery, but not what dangers are lurking around the next tree. Is it friend or foe
An DrewLarkin I have killed john and faith and I am going to finish Jacob today. I have about 1 1/2 restiance meter on him and I have collected all the prepper stashes. Also, I have collected a bunch of cash and I am almost at 90,000$
I actually love the plot a great deal. I almost didn’t give the video a like for the beginning but the rest of the video was wonderful so I gave you one anyway. Haha! You have to think about the storyline and it will make more sense and once you figure it out, you’ll love the plot as well! :)
Meh - it's not on the right track by pulling you out of the game after reaching a certain amount of Resistant Points, it's actually kind of a lazy answer to the problem...which...isn't much of an actual problem really. GTA nails it consistently. You have story missions, you play those to advance the story. End. Farcry 5 just limits how much side stuff you can do before you're forced to advance the story - that's a patch job to solve a problem that doesn't even really exist.
I agree, I want to do it all of but get force to contribute the main story. Especially when you kill one of the main lieutenants, all the enemies roaming the region disappear.
agreed, this is definitely the worst thing about the game, i even tried to ignore saving hostages and other non quest things that give me rp so i could fo do more before the end but it still not enough, they should’ve just let the story progress with story quests like any game with open world does
Agree. I HATE the forced kidnappings that ruin gameplay when I want to do something else in the game. It ruins the flow - so much so I got bored by the 2nd region and haven't gone back to it since. Shame as it's a beautiful game to look at.
I could not have said it better. All around this game is absolutely amazing. It’s now the standard of which new open world games must provide to be successful.
For me, I prefer a 'List' of things to do . than 'Looking around' for things to do .. I never know really what to do next ... I know this isnt 'Natural' but its what I prefer ..
Pretty much have to do quests if you want to progress the game. Otherwise you can just blow some shit up and get a few points here and there. It will take a hell of a lot longer to progress the game, but still fun.
chvpters lol yes there is 😂 bows, Pistols, Rifles, Snipers, Animals, SMGs, LMGs, shovels, Baseball bats, slingshot, TNT, Grenades, Throwing knives, Molotov’s, RPGs, Pepper Guns from planes, ur bare hands, vehicles....... what game did you play mate? Lol
Elvis Nunez lol horrible way to put it. That’s like telling someone to not play a single assassins creed after the first one cause they’re all seem the same. Ur dumb my dude. It’s called people who enjoy a series. Why fix something that ain’t broken
for me i find it best to go off the beaten path i love the random crazyness of this game i can get lost in just carving my own path and enjoying great music. btw in the bar i heard dwight yokum guitars and caddilacs on thr jukebox super awesome lol
I still think Bethesda is the best publisher of this gen but the Ubisoft lineup of games of the past couple of years is mighty impressive,specially if you take in consideration variety and scale. Ubisoft completely destroys EA , Activision ,MS by showing how safe they're playing Kudos to Ubisoft and Yves for turning things around in such a short time and listening to complaints and addressing mistakes they made Their E3 demos are still complete bullshit tho lol , but TBH I almost don't care about the downgrades anymore
nah, even tho they're doing great miles ahead of MS We'll talk again after Spiderman,TLU2,GoW,Detroit,Days Gone and Ghost of Tsushima drop The potential is obvious, but I haven't played their best games yet
Wolf 1 and 2, DOOM, Prey, Dishonored 2 , The Evil Within 1/2 etc BB and HZD are great UC4 is ..good It's personal preference but I like the Bethesda games more I'm even leaving Fallout 4 out of the list because it wasn't the best Fallout game even tho it was still good
Also not too far from the truth 2 contenders for GOTY in the same year, can't argue with that 2018 looks kinda dry for Ninty tho, nearly impossible to keep the bar as high
Why dont anyone call out the fact that they went back to a silent protagonist, and how it absolutely kills all immersion... dont get me wrong I liked the game but why make it a silent protagonist game? they havent done that since Far Cry 2...
Shadowstalker3000 Having a silent protagonist doesn’t kill the immersion because you’re experiencing the story first-hardly unlike when you’re playing as a pre-made character with a voice. You’re suppose to be the rookie deputy.
I am running around like a badass, killing enemy´s left and right and they have nothing that can touch me! Then the game decides that it needs me to lose for a cut scen, invent a magic bullet that takes me down in one hit and there is nothing i can do about it. O and the enemy firing the bullet is invisible!, shows up out of no where, even tho i am hiding in a place the would never find me! This is making me so pissed off! As soon as the game needs me for story, it pretty much teleport´s me there, giving me no choice in the mater. So i find my self tied to a chair again, skipping the cut scen, so i can go play the game again! O and do not get me started on the church scene, who the frack walks in thru the front door when they know the enemy is inside? O and if you do, you don´t walk in like a moron, head first! You go slow with gun up, so you can shoot if needed! But no, the game needs you captured, so they put you in a cut scen so they can hit you on the head with the but of there rifle. Besides this i love the game, so stop forcing me to lose when i wouldnt unless the game cheated!
this is my first FAR CRY and i love it so much i love how immersive it is. how you have to search for things like letters. The only thing i would improve is have a good animation for gutting your animal. its will be more satisfying after hunting, instead of a random slit just appearing on your prey
I feel like all the Far Cry games have lack luster endings, the game is incredibly fun and the tension build right up to the climax is exhilarating, until of course right at the end where they leave with you multiple endings that all end up being disappointing. The worst one has got to be Far Cry 3s "Good Ending" where you end up getting a nice picture of a boat leaving the island and a bit of narrative, like wtf man. Game is still fucking awesome though.
Why because the good guys didn't win? It was a curveball I didn't see coming, most original game ending I've seen in a while. Reminded me of LA Noire where in the end nothing you did mattered but sometimes that's just how life is. It was far more entertaining than struggling with Joseph Seed over a knife and stabbing him in a QTE event.
Alex So you literally save all these people in the game for nothing? Liberate the whole county for nothing? Thats a shit ending dude idk what you’re on.
My real first experience with open world was red dead 2. Totally blown away. Since then I was always searching for some developer who had the insight to know what gamers really wanted. And what gamers want is a non linear exploration into a world where there are few limitations of direction. We got a little of that with Outer Worlds, great game. And I was not completely familiar with the Farcry franchise, but I'm glad I dove in head first. I never experienced issues as far as artifacts or weird anomalies and for 5 was outstanding. Which brought me back to UBIS and Ghost Recon Wildlands. I will admittedly say way more fun in Farcry 5 but all in all since Rock* has decided that GTA is the sword they'll die on, there is a great opportunity for UBI to cash in with the new engines driving a demand from players for that extra that EA sports will in the wildest dreams can never deliver. UBI take the ball and run, and never look back.
A game where you constantly get distracted by the open world and side missions to where it takes a very long time to complete the main story....that's a GREAT game. Best Far Cry I've played so far
Ubisoft done good.
GameSpot WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LOBBY?!? I’ve been a listener since the Danny o Dwyer days and am deeply dissaponted it’s been 3 months into 2018 and not even a word about the lobby. I would listen every week :(
They improved their work ethics,yes. But its still not "good".
GameSpot I hope beyond good evil 2 is good.
Are those "YOUR" videos because I see no credit
Mike Crown what a useless comment, it’s called an opinion and a critic. You don’t have to create a game to have one
far cry 5 is amazing, I spent 2 and a half hours wandering around hunting and exploring, and I completely forgot that I was doing a mission
Austin._. Mee i had the same thing but i just was fishing and then other 3 hours hunting
I've done the same, there's so much to do like side missions and prepper stashes. Finding new areas which unlock story missions, which I didn't even realize you could unlock story missions by exploring new areas until I did it accidently lol.
dude I played ALL day and I did like 4 missions or so. It's Skyrim with guns.
Lol I meant* to play it for 4 - 5 hours ended up playing 14 hours only stopping for food once
Yeh so amazing , play 5hrs and took some bases , bashed the save button and see the next day no save game and start from begin and have to watch the freakin scenes again with no option to skip.
God damnit ....
But gotta say I really like the graphics and also nice story line.
Also just for exploring the map and not doing the story line is also a lot of fun.
"Hostage situation gone bad."
*Gets mauled by turkey*
To me, the narrative was not confusing at all. The reason why it seem confusing is because the villains attempt to disorient you as the protagonist. It made perfect sense what was happening in the plot.
Look at the comeback of Ubisoft man.
- Watchdogs 2 redeemed the first game.
- Assassins Creed Origins and the constant free events and support and no yearly releases.
- Far Cry 5’s improvement over 4.
- The Division updated constantly for free to make it one of the best looter shooters out there in its current state.
- For Honor not being abandoned and being constantly supported.
- Siege being supported with updates and events.
- MARIO + Rabbids
Actually good to see one of the three companies listen to the players (EA, Activision & Ubisoft)
watch dogs 2 redeemed the first game? its known among lots of people to not be that good, or interesting. the same issue the first game had
Watch dogs 2 is shit, the first one is better
Yeah ubisoft is going in the right path
For honor and division still shit though
RimaWatch agreed.
“Many times in my play through I would hear a gunshot in the distance” *car down the street gets shot by a rocket*
Sir Stabs Alot And the far distance beeing 50 meters.
😂😂😂
Hurk be like
I can’t count how many spontaneous combustions I’ve been a part of from trying to smash through roadblocks where a random rpg “sniper” spawns... I’ve learned to always keep 2 companions and never have them both in the same vehicle with me when I have my mind set on doing dumb shit lol
I was way too high for that part. God that was perfect
"A Hostage Situation Gone Bad" - shows him killing a turkey to save a prisoner! LMAOOO
prisoner dies.
That's what happens when you try to kill a turkey with a bow. Ppl die lol
N0va Reminds me of a night out I had to the pub when one of them annoying turkey birds attacked me and I ended up falling into a window and landing on the floor with a plastic bag full of money and coke worth 700 bucks. My point is when you see a fucking turkey you K ow it's going to lead to something weird.
Gotti Get It it’s exhilarating!
And the Turkey kills her.

Wrong Rook Lmao
Farcry 5 Has The Best Sceneries. Awesome Forests. Rivers. I love It, Sadly I Live In Los Angeles & None Of That Is Here. Farcry 5 Is A Beautimus Game.
Buck Sexton im Jealous. I Wanna Hike All Day.
Evenity I thought the Mountains outside of LA had some of this scenary?
Keith _ Yeah Theres Mountains But I Prefer A Forest. The Scenery Is Mostly The City.
Evenity You need to go up North dude. Northern California has the Redwood Forest and Lake Tahoe. Those are the sceneries you are looking for
If you ever feel like driving 12 hours, definitely check out Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, some of the oldest Redwoods left in existence, such an amazing lush forest!
I cant stop doing the stash quests, theyre so amazing :D
bullsheet88 I agree. I was really surprised by the creativity behind them. They're awesome!
I know right like they are super fun to figure out the logic puzzles then you get rewarded too like it’s everythin you could ask for
Have you done the haunted house attraction one yet? Simply awesome
I did that one the haunted house and I can swear I saw someone in the window once you activate the door to enter the house
Wargbane I’ll have to look for that!
Turkeys are the new Honey Badgers lol
SAL thelocksmith Nah, it’s the wolverines man.
skunks
Why are bears so sneaky tho? I play without hud and have had so many late night jumpscares when I’m quietly sneaking through the woods and out of nowhere the camera gets violently yanked down and suddenly there’s a bear trying to tear my fucking arm off.. *FUCK*
Yeah i have more trouble with the turkeys then the wolverines
More like the bloody eagles from fc4. I do not miss that mechanic at all.
Theres a skyrim easter egg. The lady at the bar tells you "I would've been a sheriff like you, but I took a bullet in the knee"
theres also a IT easter egg lol but iw ont share where i found it. freaked me out at first.
Alex Simpson dude I need to see this where is it lmao
Levi B same
Lol the balloon by the sewer
You found it too?!
Video: Games published by Ubisoft were easily recognizable...
Me: The Ubisoft logo at startup is a bit of a giveaway.
Video: The UIs were cluttered...
Me: Unless you turned off all the optional clutter in the options menu.
Video: The screen were littered with waypoints...
Me: Unless you turned off the optional waypoints in the options menu.
Video: And the minimaps--
Me: That you can turn off in the options menu.
Video: --were covered in a multitude of icons, collectibles, and miscellaneous tasks.
Me: That you can turn off in the options menu.
Video: But lately that hasn't been the case. With the release of ACO, Ubisoft shied away from its usual formula. It removed much of the crowded UI--
Me: That you can turn on in the options menu.
Video: --and completely erased the infamous mini-map.
Me: Replacing it with a compass bar that does the same thing. That you can turn off in the options menu.
You legend. Thank you.
Good stuff
I heard some gun shots in the distance....
*truck blows up down the road
There's a spot in Faith's region where alpha wolves spawn every time u throw a bait. Perfect money farm.
thanks for the tip :)
Shiroshika where is the spot
wyatt ainsworth .
jibbo123 ?
Just throw bait near a group of armed people and have them kill the animals for you
I love exploring in this game! You sometimes come across a sign that shows a hiking trail. I love to wonder up there because there's usually something interesting up ahead, like a deserted cabin with some goodies inside..
A spot on review for once. I agree, the plot is far from great, but the experience in open world exploration makes up for all of that. There's always something to do, and it's fun to do so.
Farcry 5 is one of the few games that nailed an "organic" feeling progression through a story. Instead of walking here cause a blip says to, i stumble upon things and they roll out naturally as you play
Ubisoft is stepping their game up. I love how they experiment with new ideas and utilize them in different ways in the future.
Not sure if this was a review or just a piece on your position on the game, but you did a hell of a job in pushing me to give this game a chance. 👍🏽
This is better than their review tbh. He's dead on. And I'm about 30 hours into the game.
Same. I was going to give it a miss because Far Cry 4 was mostly chasing collectibles. I get distracted too easily by collectibles and end up hating myself and the game. It's great to know they've toned it down a lot in Far Cry 5, still going to wait for a sale though.
Buy it, you wont regret it! Love the game so far.
You know a game is good when you can play for hours without really doing anything. And have a ball doing it. Far Cry 5 is one of them. As is Dying Light, Homefront The Revolution...
Love Far Cry 5. Love rescuing roadside hostages. Far Cry 4 still has the best weapons roaster of the franchise.
Far cry 5 looks incredible and is definitely one of the best gameplay wise for me but the story endings have me feeling remorse
Just starting my 2nd region of the game, im smitten. Far cry 5 is so well done. You can explore as much or as little as you want while still completing objectives, and not totally wasting time. It rewards you for snooping around, taking the long way to objectives, and talking with the people. Its drawn me in wanting more.
I love this video, very good points raised, exactly my thoughts after playing almost 50 hours and exploring every nook and crany without getting bored...and then..you can even reset the outposts!
I just love how the world feels alive and chaotic like I was hunting with boomer and grace in the southwest corner of the map an seen a pig on fire running across a field torching the whole thing
it really defines emergent gameplay, haven't' bought a ubi title in ages simply because I hated the minimap and question mark forumula, however this game is immersive and I love it
Thank you I explore in every map but I'm glad to see someone else explain that the mini map isn't all you need
Loving this new style of content from Gamespot. Great job, Mike!
I’ve had this game for 24 hours and can honestly say... it’s beautiful.
I love the sound of how the gun fires, so realistic especially the .50 cal
I love FC5's story, personally. I just wish it took a lot longer to reach the end, that it didn't force you into the final confrontations with the Seed brothers, or that the cultists didn't disappear from a region just because the Seed brother was killed. I want to spend more time running around killing cultists, hunting and fishing. As it is, I'm already into my third play-through.
I personally think Ubisoft stumbled upon something great with this game. Like the reviewer said it reminds me of Fallout 3 with the exploration and humor. I think Bliss could be the new Jet or Psycho! I was reluctant to buy this game, but it it is hands down my favorite game right now! I think if you are a fallout fan you owe it to yourself to play this game, and with some fine tuning Ubisoft could give some of us Fallout fans that are not really impressed with the direction of Fallout 4 something to sink our time into. Lastly, Ubisoft please do a post apocalyptic Far Cry I just want to see it happen.
Since the days of Just Cause 1 and Mercenaries, I've often wondered why nobody has created a game like this but WITHOUT any cutscenes or story. You start by getting dropped into the map somewhere which is being fought over by 2-4 factions. You learn about everything through talking and exploring and as you play, YOU decide which faction (or factions or none of them) you wish to fight for. It opens up so many possibilities to be a goodie, a baddie or a person playing all sides. Do you side with the govt against the locals? Do you aim to take over the location yourself and rule? Or do you support the locals?
It offers so many opportunities to delve into the grey areas of morality and "one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist." You pick the side you want and make your own story.
lwaves You should really try out Saints Row 2. One of the best sandbox games of all time that gave me the freedom of exploring in a natural, unforced way.
+Psychotic Trait I know it well. Not only is it the best SR game (by a long way) it's one of my fave games. I definitely see what you're getting at by suggesting it but you still start as a 'baddie' and it still has a story line to follow, rather than creating your own.
lwaves Ah, I was mostly talking about exploration. How much freedom and momentum the game was. Literally everytime you come out of your crib you’ll see a gang shoot out unfold or police beating the shit out of a civilian. It truly showed how chaotic Stilwater is. I definitely got vibes from that in Far Cry 5. Honestly, Far Cry 5 is one of my favorite open world shooters of all time that’s next to Saints Row 2.
+Psychotic Trait I loved how it had all those underground areas, some you could easily miss without exploring. I really missed that in SR3 and though the map was terrible which then let down the whole game, it was so small yet they gave you planes!!
I'm loving FC5 too and yes the story isn't great, or the way it's delivered isn't, but that applies to so many other games too that are still great. I know some others complain about the fact that you're still taking over outposts but it's the freedom of how you do it that makes it fun. And it definitely is fun and entertaining which is surely the main point of gaming.
The thing i like about this game is that as you explore Hope County , The Map gets Greener and more colorful , At the start of the game only Dutch's Island is green and the rest of the county is Black And Grey . Really encourages you to walk around exploring and just having a great time in general.
I have two Eric Crawfords in my guns for hire team. Looking for that third.
Keep us posted bud lmao
😂😂
Mines a veterinarian so him, peaches and i fuck shit up
When I roam this landscape it makes me feel like playing a Fallout game pre-war. And that ain't a bad thing!
Samd
Visit the Yes sign on the mountain in John's region, its worth it. Pay attention to the "E".
Yaboy Jax why what's with the 'E'?
I destroyed it already tho
Lol he’s right it is worth it
yes, yes it is, now shut up
It's been more than a year and I still playing the game
i met Luke Smith and hes also one of my guns for hire sooo....
Ron Nicklas same he’s like the first guy I met on the island lol
He’s almost one of my guns for hire.
Small world?
He's just a different shade in my game xD
I hired a guy in begining of my game, just Checked to see who and its luke Smith!
Guess since he fucked up destiny 2 he had to come to farcry lol
First far cry game I've played.. first game in a LONG time I have been addicted to. Got the game two days ago and have played it every spare second I can.
Love everything bout this game
A lot of people complain about the forced captures, but you're absolutely right in that it's a far more organic way of driving the main story forward. If you end up missing a few side missions, well, you can go back and do them when the main story is complete. As a company not only making an open world game, but trying to tell a story through it can be really challenging, and this is a good way to address the problem with pacing. It did seem a bit extreme, though, with every hostage rescued or silo destroyed progressing you towards those unavoidable cuts.
But the ending? Any of them? Ug. That's one part I can't overlook.
The funny thing is i didn't see the compass until about 10 hours of gameplay with my friend who was in the same situation
50 hours in and completed the story finally. Done every prepper stash and outpost, now just the left over side missions. Haven't enjoyed a game this much in a while :')
every time someone mention botw it makes me feel theres still hope In the gaming Industry (by far one of the best games i've played, everyone should atleast try it)
They should make a movie outta FC5. Joseph is the most charismatic villain ever, Story is fucking awesome, Setting perfect. All in all for me Far Cry 5 is perfect
Love this game , UBISOFT are on a roll 🏆🏆🏆🏆☝️☝️☝️
Well narrated, decent ideas, doesn't give too much away but makes you want more, great thought process. An intelligent piece of work.
6:36 I just stopped at that mission
I liked the random stuff, like a guy in the mountains sitting playing guitar.
You know you can turn HUD options off in wildlands... ..Right?
Now this is the type of positive review I was looking for. Really well said and well researched! I'm subbing because I want to see what you come out with next.
after seeing this, im gonna buy it definitely. hope i can get some friends to co op with though :p
Zulerah fuck friends bro, they only get in the way...
i find it lonely to play story games alone, especially open world ones
Zulerah what do you play on? I'll help
Zulerah what platform?
PC
Ubisoft should give us more content on FC5. This game is amazing and well thought of. Well done Ubisoft!!!!
Hope there comes a watchdogs3 i would love to see a New City
This is the first game where I’ve actually felt like I’m there, walking around the forests and stuff checking out the lakes and hiking, almost doesn’t feel like a game lol love it
I am loving this game for all of these reasons
I loved far cry 5. I was one of the funnest games I’ve played in a while.
love the vids keep it up
One thing I'm so happy about with Ubisoft is how much more emphasis they're putting into their side quests. In AC:Origins, the sidequests could have (in most, not all cases) easily been mistaken as full blown story quests rather than optional side content. This is a very, very good shift and Ubisoft just needs to continue to expand on these little things to make their games better. All they really need to change is the lootbox/microtransaction stuff and quit locking content behind an online service. Include everything in the game without purchase or online challenges, just give us fun, goofy stuff that doesn't actually add anything other than bragging rights.
Thumbs up for the badd ass shot on the plane ;)

If UBI could just focus now on making their worlds more interactive and immersive to the player ! Man they would take it home in terms of open world.
Well, I guess now we know why Luke Smith is no longer working on destiny 2 😂
I'm not one who has ever enjoyed exploring but I fucking love exploring in this game. I've spent just as much time running around the woods finding campsites, cabins and people than I have playing missions.
great video gamespot.
I couldn't care less about the main story, and yet Far Cry 5 is all I ever wanted Far Cry to be. It's like a tribute to anyone who happens to favor gameplay and free-roaming over story, and I absolutely love it. The game almost feels like an interactive diary, you just go out and do whatever you want at any time. It's the most enjoyable sandbox I've ever been in.
Really love this open world
After sinking about 20 hours into the game spit up between my own story and co-op with friends i can say this is the most honest review ive come across. Theres always gonna people who play it for 5 minutes and hate it for no reason besides its not another brain dead CoD or other who paint it as the greatest gift to video games. I found it to be deep and rich but still feel a bit of let down and hunger for the story that could have been. But as time goes on more lore is uncovered theories formulated and more reason to return into the fight. Sweet video. Liked and subbed
We can just pretend Far Cry Primal didn't happen.
I loved Primal. Having "no guns" was a great challenge and the animal aspect it introduced was clever, inventive and fun. I love open world games like that.
Primal is how I was introduced into far cry my favorite one thus far
I loved Primal too. Great stone age simulator. Fit nicely with Far Cry gameplay.
Couldn't help but get the feeling that the AC team wanted to time travel all the way back to the stone age, but couldn't because it was too far away from the Templar-Assassin conflict.
And then the Far Cry Team was like: "We'll take care of it."
I'm still waiting for prime 2 VR.. or a patch for 1.. would be neat.
What? Primal is better than fc 5 imho
I like how Dutch mentions u won't have to climb radio towers
I always thought that a far cry taking place on the celtic uprising would be cool, more advanced melee combat, weapons crafting, you can pick who to be with between the Celts and the romans, noticeable historic figures like boudica and paulinus, and an area system taking place in the Roman colosseum
Mike, i couldn't of said it better myself. You don't, just explore this game with you eyes , but with your ears aswell. You hear or see something in the distance and it piques your curiosity. Not knowing what you'll get yourself into is so thrillng. You really have to see things like a detective, otherwise you'll miss what's really there. It might seem like an ordinary barn, silo or house to you .. But you're wrong, the clues are in plain sight. This game will appeal to the thrillseekers looking for that adrenaline rush..or the stealthly player (dont set off any alarms) The beauty of this game isnt just the scenery, but not what dangers are lurking around the next tree. Is it friend or foe
One of the best games ever
Lets just say its one of the best games ever for *Ubisoft*
Have you guys actually played it though?
An DrewLarkin I have killed john and faith and I am going to finish Jacob today. I have about 1 1/2 restiance meter on him and I have collected all the prepper stashes. Also, I have collected a bunch of cash and I am almost at 90,000$
I agree
worst game ever. Shitty AI and awful story.
I actually love the plot a great deal. I almost didn’t give the video a like for the beginning but the rest of the video was wonderful so I gave you one anyway. Haha! You have to think about the storyline and it will make more sense and once you figure it out, you’ll love the plot as well! :)
This Game looks great on Xbox One X in Native 4k.
I know ha? 😎
But the graphics isnt like ultra on pc, it looks like medium settings in 4k, i much prefer higher graphics settings than higher resolution..
Sonny Boi Yeah that sounds great but I prefer to spend less for great graphics.
Lol that is pretty aggressive.
Hackeysacked
"spend less" that argument has been debunked over and over again since 2014.
jim frye was my buddy throughout the entire game he was the one guy i always used no matter what!
Best game I ever played, except hide the sausage!
What a beautifully instructive video. Earned a sub GameSpot
Meh - it's not on the right track by pulling you out of the game after reaching a certain amount of Resistant Points, it's actually kind of a lazy answer to the problem...which...isn't much of an actual problem really. GTA nails it consistently. You have story missions, you play those to advance the story. End.
Farcry 5 just limits how much side stuff you can do before you're forced to advance the story - that's a patch job to solve a problem that doesn't even really exist.
I agree, I want to do it all of but get force to contribute the main story. Especially when you kill one of the main lieutenants, all the enemies roaming the region disappear.
also the fact that all three regions and the missions are fundamentally the same? Like cmon. "A SEAL HAS BEEN OPENED"
agreed, this is definitely the worst thing about the game, i even tried to ignore saving hostages and other non quest things that give me rp so i could fo do more before the end but it still not enough, they should’ve just let the story progress with story quests like any game with open world does
Agree. I HATE the forced kidnappings that ruin gameplay when I want to do something else in the game. It ruins the flow - so much so I got bored by the 2nd region and haven't gone back to it since. Shame as it's a beautiful game to look at.
I could not have said it better. All around this game is absolutely amazing. It’s now the standard of which new open world games must provide to be successful.
For me, I prefer a 'List' of things to do . than 'Looking around' for things to do .. I never know really what to do next ... I know this isnt 'Natural' but its what I prefer ..
There is a list of quests..
There is a list of quests.. thats the whole point of this video, however you want to play, you can play it that way. It works for whoever...
Mozzy ! You’re a sheep. Got it.
Mozzy ! I had the same feeling but playing more I have fun blowing shit up and trying to get more guns for hire
Pretty much have to do quests if you want to progress the game. Otherwise you can just blow some shit up and get a few points here and there. It will take a hell of a lot longer to progress the game, but still fun.
I like how story missions happen naturally like when Nicks wife has the baby
Far Cry 5 is great but there isn't a huge variety of weapons to choose from
chvpters lol yes there is 😂 bows, Pistols, Rifles, Snipers, Animals, SMGs, LMGs, shovels, Baseball bats, slingshot, TNT, Grenades, Throwing knives, Molotov’s, RPGs, Pepper Guns from planes, ur bare hands, vehicles....... what game did you play mate? Lol
It’s supposed to be civilian style weapons! AR 15 pistols old school rifles and shotguns it’s great! And of course the BOWS
I see that. I want more stuff to buy and I'm sure that'll come
Elvis Nunez lol horrible way to put it. That’s like telling someone to not play a single assassins creed after the first one cause they’re all seem the same. Ur dumb my dude. It’s called people who enjoy a series. Why fix something that ain’t broken
With live events they will keep adding new guns and outfits
for me i find it best to go off the beaten path i love the random crazyness of this game i can get lost in just carving my own path and enjoying great music. btw in the bar i heard dwight yokum guitars and caddilacs on thr jukebox super awesome lol
I still think Bethesda is the best publisher of this gen but the Ubisoft lineup of games of the past couple of years is mighty impressive,specially if you take in consideration variety and scale.
Ubisoft completely destroys EA , Activision ,MS by showing how safe they're playing
Kudos to Ubisoft and Yves for turning things around in such a short time and listening to complaints and addressing mistakes they made
Their E3 demos are still complete bullshit tho lol , but TBH I almost don't care about the downgrades anymore
nah, even tho they're doing great miles ahead of MS
We'll talk again after Spiderman,TLU2,GoW,Detroit,Days Gone and Ghost of Tsushima drop
The potential is obvious, but I haven't played their best games yet
Wolf 1 and 2, DOOM, Prey, Dishonored 2 , The Evil Within 1/2 etc
BB and HZD are great UC4 is ..good
It's personal preference but I like the Bethesda games more
I'm even leaving Fallout 4 out of the list because it wasn't the best Fallout game even tho it was still good
Bethesda is really great company but I think they should go back west more often
On fire Nintendo is imo.
Also not too far from the truth
2 contenders for GOTY in the same year, can't argue with that
2018 looks kinda dry for Ninty tho, nearly impossible to keep the bar as high
This is a review by a natural gamer. Awesome review. Feels complete. All the best for future.
Why dont anyone call out the fact that they went back to a silent protagonist, and how it absolutely kills all immersion...
dont get me wrong I liked the game but why make it a silent protagonist game? they havent done that since Far Cry 2...
Shadowstalker3000 your right but, it definatley doesnt ruin it
Shadowstalker3000 Having a silent protagonist doesn’t kill the immersion because you’re experiencing the story first-hardly unlike when you’re playing as a pre-made character with a voice. You’re suppose to be the rookie deputy.
No it doesnt, If anything, Im more immersed.
Shadowstalker3000 it reminds me of the modern warfare days where you played the mute protagonist. Honestly it doesn't kill immersion for me at all
Doesn’t ruin it for me, I’m happy that the antagonist wins no matter what!!!! It’s so cool!
I love how they removed the focus on hunting and more on fishing.....
Misleading title.
Awesome narration 💯
This video deserves more views
I am running around like a badass, killing enemy´s left and right and they have nothing that can touch me!
Then the game decides that it needs me to lose for a cut scen, invent a magic bullet that takes me down in one hit and there is nothing i can do about it.
O and the enemy firing the bullet is invisible!, shows up out of no where, even tho i am hiding in a place the would never find me!
This is making me so pissed off!
As soon as the game needs me for story, it pretty much teleport´s me there, giving me no choice in the mater.
So i find my self tied to a chair again, skipping the cut scen, so i can go play the game again!
O and do not get me started on the church scene, who the frack walks in thru the front door when they know the enemy is inside?
O and if you do, you don´t walk in like a moron, head first!
You go slow with gun up, so you can shoot if needed!
But no, the game needs you captured, so they put you in a cut scen so they can hit you on the head with the but of there rifle.
Besides this i love the game, so stop forcing me to lose when i wouldnt unless the game cheated!
it’s supposed to happen. i found it annoying also but then i noticed it was a part of the story.
Can't skip most pf those cut scenes. Wtf are you talking about? Most have you answer the "YES" questions and you cant skip these.
TENGILL Ha! I was "captured" whilst wing suiting at 1000 feet! How?? Annoying to say the least
TENGILL ...what?
You obviously aren't playing on hard. It took me an he an a half to get passed campaign introduction
this is my first FAR CRY and i love it so much i love how immersive it is. how you have to search for things like letters. The only thing i would improve is have a good animation for gutting your animal. its will be more satisfying after hunting, instead of a random slit just appearing on your prey
shit ending
I feel like all the Far Cry games have lack luster endings, the game is incredibly fun and the tension build right up to the climax is exhilarating, until of course right at the end where they leave with you multiple endings that all end up being disappointing. The worst one has got to be Far Cry 3s "Good Ending" where you end up getting a nice picture of a boat leaving the island and a bit of narrative, like wtf man. Game is still fucking awesome though.
Why because the good guys didn't win? It was a curveball I didn't see coming, most original game ending I've seen in a while. Reminded me of LA Noire where in the end nothing you did mattered but sometimes that's just how life is. It was far more entertaining than struggling with Joseph Seed over a knife and stabbing him in a QTE event.
Alex So you literally save all these people in the game for nothing? Liberate the whole county for nothing? Thats a shit ending dude idk what you’re on.
RetardedTurtle fuck that. From your opinion, Red dead redemption's ending is bad too?
The game designers aren't obligated to give you an ending that makes you feel good. The game was over whether you won or not, I don't see the problem.
“And learn exactly why the locals named it “Devil’s Drop’.”
*LEAVING MISSION AREA TURN BAAACK!*
Farcry 5 is awesome - one of the most entertaining games I've played in quite awhile (since The Witcher 3).
My real first experience with open world was red dead 2. Totally blown away. Since then I was always searching for some developer who had the insight to know what gamers really wanted. And what gamers want is a non linear exploration into a world where there are few limitations of direction. We got a little of that with Outer Worlds, great game. And I was not completely familiar with the Farcry franchise, but I'm glad I dove in head first. I never experienced issues as far as artifacts or weird anomalies and for 5 was outstanding. Which brought me back to UBIS and Ghost Recon Wildlands. I will admittedly say way more fun in Farcry 5 but all in all since Rock* has decided that GTA is the sword they'll die on, there is a great opportunity for UBI to cash in with the new engines driving a demand from players for that extra that EA sports will in the wildest dreams can never deliver. UBI take the ball and run, and never look back.
And on top of all that the greatest soundtrack ever in a video game!
A game where you constantly get distracted by the open world and side missions to where it takes a very long time to complete the main story....that's a GREAT game. Best Far Cry I've played so far
This game is a fucking masterpiece and I don't use that word often.
The "messy" part of FarCry 5 is what keeps the gameplay fresh. Never having an encounter end up the same way twice.
