In the case.For those that preorderd physical: how did the Doomsday Prepper pack come — on a receipt? In the case? Other?
This was another problem I had with the game. Get used to that. That's how most of the Cult Leader Missions happen. You reach a benchmark point and the game just shoves you into the mission.

Yikes. It would be one thing if this was alluded to in dialogue as something that could happen but this just coming out of nowhere felt really bizarre. I legitimately thought the game launched a mission by accident.

Quote for new page.How do you do the sidearm takedowns? I keep doing regular takedowns.
Does the Xbox One X version not have HDR? If it does, it does not seem to activate on my TV.
Yup, go down to Easy. I don't know if it was a bug or not, but I repeated that section at least 10 times on Hard and Normal to no avail. First playing on Hard I couldn't go more than two or three hits before being drained of all health and even staying in the car didn't protect me. Even when I tried reducing the difficultly to Normal it was the same, felt like no difference at all, my character was basically made of paper. But when I went down to easy nothing could hurt me. I stayed outside the vehicle the entire time and never went below 75%, each hit did barely anything and regen kicked in super fast.What the FUCK is that on rails section on the TUTORIAL on hard? This shit is impossible and SO BAD
Does not look like there is Atmos support FYI.I can't seem to find any information on this so I thought I would ask. Does Far Cry 5 support Dolby Atmos?

I've since gone back to Hard after that segment and I'm doing perfectly fine. I'm routinely running into mobs of enemies with just a pistol and headshoting everyone without much trouble. Something about that opening section is broken.
I'm not far in yet but I have a question regarding perks. If I have enough points to spend can I unlock them in any order or if I want a certain perk do I need to unlock every one before it? Some of the perks don't sound that great while some do. I kinda feel like I'll be wasting points or should I not worry too much?
For people who have finished already or have at least played quite a bit...is it likely by the end of the game you'll have unlocked all perks or do you need to be careful what you spend points on?
Yeah, but you need to remember (not trying to be mean here)I'm a little bummed out with Arcade so far. It feels like a mess. The ability to find new maps is absolutely terrible, the filters are almost worthless. Playing online it's just a bunch of terrible maps being played which aren't much fun at all.
Why isn't there a featured section for example?
That was my guess as well. It's very weird. Before entering the car it wasn't as brutal, getting hit was big but you could take more than a few hits before getting drained. But once you were in that car, simply impossible. And given the astronomical difference between Hard/Normal and Easy I have to imagine there is some bug in changing difficulty as going to Normal from Hard offered zero difference.It is mind boggling that this got by QA into the released game.
It's the tutorial! Any other game would just make it impossible to die.
I'm almost thinking it's a bug if you play it on hard. I did the same thing, then dropped it to normal and it was just as impossible. Only dropping to easy made it so I could pass that section.
Maybe if you start the game on hard, dropping the game to normal is bugged and it stays at hard difficulty.

Yes it has HDR and it is working fine for me on my X and KS8000.
The on-rails section is can pretty tough. Given the recoil of the AR anyway, then on top of that, the constant moving in the car while driving, and the enemies being able to hit you when you aren't even leaning out the window either, and then you have to worry about the actual car not blowing up too.

Oh and the over-abundance of enemies
To be fair, Gertz is pretty much hating on it the whole review.
I thought it may come out at a 5/10 the way he was dogging it.
I had no issues with the intro on hard. Had a bunch of times in the truck where the screen was flashing red, but never died.
***shrugs***
Not to be "that guy" but I didn't find this part that bad, made it through first attempt and blew up a lot of cultists. I thought it was pretty great!
Yup, this was as far as I ever could get on Hard or Normal. I died a ton of times in the truck just trying to bandage myself. I couldn't lean out of the truck for more than a second before being drained of health, not that being in the cab was all that safe. I thought I was missing something like strategic explosives to trigger chain reactions but there weren't any.By the time I see the plane again, I don't have anymore first aid kids to heal and no time for auto heal to kick in.
Were you playing on hard difficulty?
Were you on PC or console?
Maybe it's a PC bug?
Usually yep, but not this time around.
I can tell you on PC, this mission isn't fun. I tried it on hard first, and then I switched to normal, nothing changed. I get hit no matter what I do, 2 shots is enough to force me to heal. The first truck that chases me will kill me if I don't somehow kill it immediately, which I haven't been able to pull off so far.

Go down to Easy and it's a cake walk, you will never have to heal or hide in the cab. It's for sure broken on PC.
Yup, it's borked. After that section I went back to Hard and haven't died once from a gun fight after 5+ hours of play just running around with a pistol and bow. It's like a combo of super high damage and super accuracy that just doesn't exist elsewhere in the game.There is this one gun in particular, that sounds like a magnum that will drain all my health everytime I hear its sound. Every truck has it, and even if only the driver is alive, I will still get hit by it, even if I'm not leaning out.
Huh... I did it first time on Hard on Xbox and I was struggling with the aiming at the time. Adjusting cross hair position and sensitivity has sorted it.I can tell you on PC, this mission isn't fun.

I feel like Jeff has been really grumpy lately for lack of a better term. Like he's always been a bit "game is trash" if he doesn't like it, regardless of the actual quality of it, but lately it seems like it's even more so than usual. It can be a little frustrating, especially since it seems like a lot of the other crew will just go along with it. Love Giant Bomb, but sometimes it gets to be a bit much with this stuff.Usually yep, but not this time around.
Didn't seem to gel with him in all the places that seem to be gelling for me...and I normally love what he digs, so it's odd.
