has anyone gone through it?
he said the same for evil within 2 despite praising it and for the life of me i still havent figured out why, the game was perfectly alright day 1.
Well this is pretty clashing with ACG since you both are highly regarded in my book.
That makes it a draw, I'm still cautiously hyped, whatever that means.
It may a bit but man I would be a bit surprised. Its handled well
Took a quick skim through because I don't want to see too much of the game, but he praises the graphics, sound, quest progression and when all parts align correctly the game can be very fun.
However he didnt like the AI, saying it could be worse than FC4's. Some bugginess too with animals attacking npc's mid conversation and reseting everything.
Will give the video a full watch after my playthrough.
Sounds like the world is a downgrade moving on from AC:O, which is what I am coming from when I jump into FC5. Oh my.
It's easy for an open world to be a downgrade when coming from AC: O.
Made a quick one, it's being updated

It's mostly down to how you feel about the completely differing tones.

Are the same game. The tones don't really match at all. As I say in the review, one game is horror. The other is action. Assuming you can mentally square that, it's mostly a great game in my opinion.
I am really hyped to play this, hopefully this evening. I'm surprisingly looking forward to getting stuck into the multiplayer more than anything, I hope the map editor results in some super interesting things.

Thank you for boiling down the differences for you guys, I have skimmed through your review and didnt watch Karak's but if thats your main difference... I'm good.
I mean im totally OK with both of those pictures and I will enjoy both according to the moment, so cool.
It's also the first time I think I'm more excited about a game getting rid of the dead weight than I am about the new features. Except coop, every game should have online coop period.
That plus the rest of the scores for other minor (in my book) reviewers makes me go back to THE HYPE ZONE.
Now the only question there for me to resolve is if we can access the game early on PC by using VPN. Anybody?
A friend of mine works at Ubisoft and gave me an early voucher for the game, so I've been playing it. I didn't want to say anything until the embargo ended because I felt I should abide by it.
To put it simply, I'm really enjoying the game. It's been easy to get lost inside of, and keeps giving me that one more mission or one more activity mentality, which is something I haven't felt much lately due to being burned out on gaming. The world is insanely big, the characters almost all have personality (some of the NPCs say the same wooden things, but you can't expect everyone to be original), and there's a lot to do. It's easy to get lost and sidetracked and lose an hour.
At first I was worried because it didn't seem to be a lot different than the last games. Obviously it's got a different time period and type of combat than Primal, which was a blast, so I'm not counting that. And it has a different setting than the previous two, because you're not on a tropical island or in the mountains of a far away land. It still felt very similar, but has really opened up and become addictive to me, scratching the itch I wanted from this great series.
I didn't discover fast travel until just recently, so it was taking me a while to get places. Vehicles are sometimes hard to find out in the wild, but if you drive around on the actual roads you're apt to run into enemies far too often and that's one of my only major complaints. It bothered me at first, because I'd barely drive anywhere and then run into a truck that would spot me. Then the same thing would happen again within 30 seconds. I've gotten used to it, but it's still a downside.
There's tons of weaponry, lots of explosives and some tonics you can craft that let you expose all enemies in an area or reduce damage. It's also very easy to find quests, and a lot of them are considered story quests. You also can take over cult headquarters that they've taken over, like abandoned mills and farms.
I've used four of the guns for hire: the dog, the bow hunter, the sniper and the pilot. They all provide something different and are helpful. Though you can also hire resistance fighters you meet in towns and on roads.
Animals take quite a punch to kill. Sometimes you'll hit them with a car. The pelts can be sold for money that you can use to buy weapons or stock, or even vehicles. There are also lots of perk upgrades.
If you like this type of game it's an absolute buy. It looks great, is very fun and I haven't had much in the glitch department.
Yes. If you're talking to somebody and pull out a gun or your fists, they'll cower or walk away and say something to you about it. Essentially they won't continue talking to you about what they were saying until you lower it.

Thanks! 25gb sounds sweet, I might be able to install it without clearing space on my SSD.
Endy.
Have they toned down the wildlife insanity from 4?
Felt like I spent half that game exerting zero control, instead watching canned eagle attack animations and such.

I went with the Gold Edition purely because of the value being offered up.
- I get the game itself which will easily net me at least 40 hours of content alone.
- A horde mode zombie DLC, a Vietnam set side story and another side story set on Mars.
- The entirety of Far Cry Arcade and its respective expansion packs which offers limitless potential for solo, PvE and PvP experiences created by members of the community (including myself) and curated by Ubisoft.
- Far Cry 3 Remastered which is all but guaranteed to support Xbox One X/PS4 Pro enhancements so I get to replay my favorite entry in the series at 4K with solid performance for the first time.
Mixed information. I'll try it at 2pm UK time here (which is midnight AEDT time when it theoretically unlocks in Sydney/Aus) and see if it works...
Sweet. Let us know! Would be great to play after work today.
Anyone here ordered the PS4 version from the ubisoft store and not had a shipping notification yet ? In the UK btw.
Can we talk about how insane the graphic looks on current gen consoles? Not only this but other games too in the last few months. When I saw gameplay yesterday for the first time I was blown away how ridiculously realistic it looked. This feels more like a step into next gen than the actual next gen step felt to be honest. Just wow.
Where did you get from that vietnam and mars are side stories?
They will be DLC for the game, the gold edition comes with the season pass.
Not my question. Who said those dlc are side stories?
Taking from the season pass descrpition:
Vietnam:
"Listen to him recount his glory days, as you travel back in time to war-torn Vietnam to take down Viet-Cong. Trapped behind enemy lines, will you be able to rescue your squad mates and evacuate to safety?"
Rescue & evacuate
Mars:
"Once you're stranded on the red planet, your mission is simple: stop the Martian Arachnid invasion and get back home safely."
Hold & Evacuate
Zombies:
B-movie director Guy Marvel is destined to be the next big thing – just ask him. Join him in 7 hilarious scenarios to take on hordes and hordes of undead zombies.
Horde mode.
I WISH there will be small but rich dlc but it looks more like its going to be enclosed espaces with horde/survival aspects built with the editor. I hope I'm readign this wrong tho.
Ubisoft won't be so stupid to provide free editor mode while costing you money for some theme content for said mode. In the trailer they even introduce the three DLC content before introducing Arcade mode.
On the other hand, a poster said the DLCs are somehow connected with the main game. Take it with a grain of salt. Post below:
Nothing in this seems conclusive.
Id gladly eat my words and pay for the season pass if I'm proven wrong but the fact that information on this is so scarce doesn't help....
Far Cry 5's season pass content will not consist of content that could be created using the free Arcade editor. Give them more credit.
Does anyone know if I can use that 20% off Uplay promo (it costs 100 Uplay points/coins) on Far Cry 5 once it's released?
I know they can't be used on preorders, but wasn't sure about new releases.
