Thanks. I will disable that shit.
Yeah the ingame map would help so much. Who cares about their fancy 3D nonsense (apart from Kotaku) when all it does is break immersion and pacing? Nobody.
Give me ingame map, dynamic weather, FC2-like health system, ease up on the enemy spawns, add protagonist with agency and voice, and you got perfect FarCry game. Maybe next time.
Almost done with the first region (John) and while I'm not having a bad time necessarily, I can't help but feel Normal's balance of things like how much damage you take, how easily enemies can spot you, how often you get into large encounters on the road, and how much it takes to down like a helicopter or an armored dude is just way off.
the plane controls suck (KB+M)...helicopter controls are so much better...I just completed one of those Clutch Nixon stunt missions which involved completing a timed course (in a plane this time) and it was annoying as hell...took me over 10 tries to complete it only because the controls suck...the mission was called Spray and Pray
I haven't touched the Arcade mode but is it possible to, say, make a co-op (driver and gunner) combat racing track with AI (not other drivers) as a PvP mode?
I could live with nonvoiced if I could say things, New Vegas style.
But FC5 is worst of both worlds.
That's exactly what I was thinking before I played. But Far Cry 5 feels nothing like Wildlands. Two completely different games.
In what way? I've played the entire game on Hard, and I've found the balance to be pretty good. The game punishes my mistakes. Never felt cheap either.
Once you learn the game you can disable the messages no prob.
Game isn't crazy deep with mechanics.
Also disabled enemy tags since that wall hack stuff is just cheap and takes the fun out of the game. I love using the audio and actually looking for the enemies.

get the rocket launcher and taking down airplanes and choppers is pretty easy
You can also snipe the pilot and ...bye-bye chopper.
In fact I would recommend keeping a .50 cal as part of your loadout at all times in Far Cry 5 as it is obviously great as a sniper but it also destroys all animals in 1-2 shots.
Love the setting and almost like the story so far. I hope we get some details on how the game was developed at some point. Curious if ubi thought this method of story presentation was a good idea or if they ran out of time to integrate things better.
I am so awful at shooting things. it's a miracle that I shot down the vultures for the zesty testy mission. now I delivered it but I can't get into the spread eagle?? do they close at night?
Done the first area and headed down to the SW area from the island and done 30 mins or so around there. Game is gorgeous on the X.
I like how they've changed the mission structure so far. Have started looking at the perk stuff and no sure if I like how they've changed the upgrade system yet.

I'm doing the story mission "the revelator". it tells me to destroy the revelator, so i get into a plane and blow it up. now the quest had no markers once I'm on the ground AND I forget which road it was on. :(
I think they both suffer from similar flaws such as a a lack of personality, a poor sense of progression, and repetitive gameplay
The mission design in FC5 definitely seems better though
Trying to figure this out too, I swear I've seen night like three times in 20ish hours.
I'm done with John's territory now (first territory for me). I'm having a blast with this game, it is really fun. I love how brains-off it is - just pure, ridiculous carnage. It's a refreshingly gamey open world game :)
When they give players a voice we got insufferable cali children. Unless they go blood dragon with the character it will be trash.
Do I need to keep the maps after I looked at them? If I sell them, will I lose what I'm able to see?
I think you can sell them because the map will stay marked, it's like intel.
I tested this out with a fishing and hunting map. After I sold the maps I could still see the location of those spots. I didn't explicitly test the other kind of map but I didn't seem to lose any locations from it. It looks like when you pick up a map, your character automatically reads it.
Actually, people complain that Bethesda doesn't do that (it's a gripe of mine as I want more tight RPG from them). But difference is type of games to me and how they do it.
Bethesda games are RPG games and you expect that one choice you make might lock out another (I shouldn't be able to be friends with enemy factions but I can in their games). And you do actively make the choices that could lock you out. Plus since they are RPGs people want choices to matter. With Far Cry you miss a mission cause you got distracted by other stuff (That still is helping the same side). You're not really making a choice, you are just playing the game (there are no choices, you are helping the innocents. You don't get to choose to help the Cult or even take over for yourself). I don't want to have to worry about missing out a story mission cause I took too long as i was helping them do other stuff instead.
And honestly Bethesda doesn't do that either at all... you can wait forever on a mission and you can still do it. And while people make fun of that, they don't really complain about that (it's just funny to make fun of but people understand it's a game and they really wouldn't want to be locked out of something just cause they took the time to do something else. Ok, maybe some would but they are wanting much more serious RPG). They complain more that if you help one side the other side doesn't punish you or that your choices don't matter. Just because I went and did other missions for the same people (you don't take sides on Far Cry, you are on one side. There is no choosing to decide to help the cult instead) shouldn't lock me out of a mission. And as much as I want good RPG from Bethesda, that is one thing I like, I can put quests aside and take them at my leisure. If I get locked out of a quest, I actively did something to lock me out (did another quest at my choosing that locks me out that specifically does something that messes with that first quest). I expect this even of RPG games (That I can set a quest aside and as long as I don't do something that pisses off quest giver or kills him or *actively* does something that messes with the quest I can come back to it later).
Thanks. Don't really have a gaming computer anymore but I'll add it to the list of PC games I need to check out when I do build one.
Has anyone else encountered a silly bug where if you have Cheeseburger and someone else (Such as Hurk) as your 2 squad mates, and when you die and get revived, Hurt will revive you and then Cheeseburger comes charging to revive as well and kills you.
Happens every time. First time it was funny, but now not so much. It makes me not want to use Cheeseburger.

Have you played Origins?
I really love Montana too. Wish there was some snow though. And horses. Why can't I ride horses in this?? It is the perfect setting.
The UI needs a bit work, took me a few days to finally get it exactly the way I want it.
They really need to figure out how to seperate looting and picking up weapons better. Why not use a differernt button for looting, so many things in this game requires you to hold the square button it's almost garanteed that you'll accidentally do the wrong thing multiple times in your playthrough.
Otherwise the game is great, I am loving every minute of it. Definitely the best Far Cry since 3, hell it's probably as good as 3.
I recommend playing on hard with no aim-assit, driving assit or any form of assit, gps off, vehicle hints off and all (skill/challenge etc.) notifications off. All that information are avalible to you in the pause screen, you don't need that shit bothering you while you are playing.
Trust me, once you "de-Ubisoft" the HUD the game become crazy immersive and absorbing.
I would even go as far as to say that if all reviewers played Far Cry 5 in this set up the game will recieve much better scores period.

I was hoping Arcade would have a race game type like Halo CE after playing those Clutch Nixon missions. Seems like something they could easily implement into the editor.
Yep, I have Origins and think it's a beautiful looking world but all too similar. Montana in FC5 is much smaller in scale but more varied, IMO.
I'm sure they'll release horses as an asset in Arcade mode if not already in. Would have been cool to have in the campaign for sure.
Ack, it's so hard to pay full price for games! Gotta say I'm shocked by the love here. The reviews have been so middling. But damn, this game looks fun.
I just want the Origins horse patched in so I can feel like I'm playing Red Dead. That would be incredible.
While true, I think my favorite overpowered base capture was my buddy liberating an outpost with a single cluster missile with the guided missile launcher. "Undetected" and everything lol.
Sounds terrible but I always kill the arcade guy on sight, he is just too fucking annoying. I swear to god he is pretty much just a talking billboard that's shaped into an NPC.
I know Far Cry arcade is free (and awesome) but damn can you stop for a second? Maybe if you just put the arcade machine there more people would be willing to give it a try.

Really having fun with the game. Just finished my first region (John). Few complaints like the frequency of the patrols on the road and some bugs. Mainly weird spawns, but having a great time.
Just wanted to say how fucking well this game runs!
1080/Ryzen 1600 and I get a completely solid, locked 60fps at 1440 and everything on ultra, no matter what craziness goes on screen. I averaged 74fps in the benchmark test, but thought it would be better to lock it anyway.Super happy with this version.
