Just finished the first region on PC. Not sure if I can face into another region. Its a good game but is it not a bit same old same old. Probally stay going after a few days away from it.

Dont know really, its a good game, beautifull looking , but the repetativeness is killing me. Maybe ill just take a break from it for a while. Also the guns just dont have a kick to them i feel, just something does not feel right.

Not that you're asking me but for me... Some missions are forced to move the narrative on. For example, you'll magically get captured even though there's nobody near you, you're armed to the teeth, you've got higher ground and you've just mowed down a small army. Yes it needs to move the story on but it feels so forced and frustrating. Also the story plays out in a somewhat polarising manner.

After that, it's good but it's a bit bland and samey and in some areas, not very challenging. Rinse and repeat at its finest for long periods.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it a lot but its not up there with Far Cry 3 and 4.

Think ill just take a break from it for a few days and just concintrate on story missions. Im usually a stickler for completing side missions and maybe thats the problem here... It does look stunning at times though..

Aye that was the worst mechanic in the game imho, completely immersion breaking. One time I was finishing off a compound and got the audio cue the hunters were inbound. I hopped back in my armed chopper, took off and started shooting at the incoming trucks to no effect. I flew over a mountain with no roads and looked back to see on-foot figures moving at mach-1 through the trees, heard something hit the chopper and then.... yup...locked up in deliveranceville.

You don't find Far Cry 3 and 4 repetitive? I personally did although I liked the campaign missions in Far Cry 3.

I thought 3 and 4 were boring and repetitive beyond belief, but that Far Cry 5 was much better for that. Still a degree of repetitiveness, but felt a lot less restricting and more fun to me than 3 and 4. Still a long way off something like Fallout though, the game world is fun but not at all a convincing living and breathing space.

OK, so I stuck with it and finished out the campaign and doen alot of theside missions and collectables. Brutal ending in fairness. Overall a decent game, will not be going back for any DLC, etc.

The DLC is awful it was from a obscure vote UBI had.

Got this on the Steam sale - never played through the full game but looking forward to it, picked up Primal as well and its class so far :)

Not sure I agree with the lukewarm reviews here. That being said I played far cry 5 first and then went back and did 4 and found 4 a bit repetitive (ok a bit strange I suppose).

I just loved the fantastic scenery, the scope of the game and especially....the music.

Sephiroth_dude · 22-03-2023 6:44pm

I loved it but once was enough for me.

jobrien874ie · 23-03-2023 7:53pm

100% worth a replay guys - try it on harder difficulty with no hud - I really wasnt a fan at all when it first came out but it plays a lot better now :) some gameplay on my YT channel I recorded recently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RRMhqWGXlg&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=Joshimite - gonna try out Primal next as missed that the first time around
