Far Cry 5 - Before You Buy

Far Cry 5 (PC, PS4, Xbox One) takes the franchise to the United States and adds some new changes that you might not immediately notice. Is it worth it? Let's talk!

What's your favorite Far Cry? Are you one of those people that secretly worship FC2?

Far cry 3: he talks
Far cry 4: he barely talks
Far cry primal: wtf is he saying?
Far cry 5: he silenced

Anyone here because of that sweet, sweet 85% off sale?

[Arkenway]

People : Far Cry 4 feels too much like Far Cry 3, we want change !

Ubisoft : ok, well here's Far Cry Primal, we got rid of guns, that's change enough right ?

People : feels too different, go back to formula !

Ubisoft : ok, well here's Far Cry 5, we added some cool mechanics and stuff but the Far Cry DNA is there, isn't it ?

People : feels too similar to Far Cry 3 and 4, we want change !

Ubisoft : ffs...

Who else watches these even though they already bought the game

Why do Far Cry games always get shit for being like previous games but GTA and Super Mario games get praise even though they’ve been the same game since the beginning as well?

Far Cry is one of my favorite Franchises. Far Cry 5 is definitely in my top 3 FC games.
I think they should do Far Cry 6 set in Mexico around the drug cartel with deserts and snakes and shit.

Waited for a year, it’s $15.00 now on Xbox one, lit.

The setting of the game was like getting your imagination of being that invincible tough cool soldier mixed with that cool realistic feel of the countryside and your home. I felt like a child again playing this game but at the same time I had so much fun with the characters and the story it was a perfect game in my opinion

[piercethxchris]

I hate the mute character we customize, I want an actual main character that speaks and adds onto the story

[youtubesucks]

I think if they got the license they could make a really good walking dead game

[drunkrd]

Whos here because its only 8$ on PS Store?

[TheDavidpaiz]

Im that idiot who comes to watch "before you buy" videos after buying the game... every time.

Marathoned it 17 hours solo during this current weekend event, game is GORGEOUS, OPTIMIZED, and FUN! Never played far cry games so this was a beautiful surprise. Really felt like i took out of town weekend trip.

They did a great job at improving the overall gameplay once more. The takedowns for example feel extremely powerful and for someone that plays stealthy and uses them all the time it's really refreshing. The world almost never feels empty (the north region does because it"s filled with mountains and lakes which get boring fast) and this time it's been packed with more structures and outposts than in the last Far Crys. The game looks really beautiful and is nice to look at. The members of the Seed family are well written and very charismatic, Ubisoft just knows how to create great villains. But most importantly (I never thought I'd say that to a Far Cry game) the music is absolutely amazing. The main theme is beautiful, the propaganda songs build the atmosphere very well, the list of rock music they chose for the radio is great and the Arcade music gets you instantly pumped for the multiplayer. All in all as a big Far Cry fan I'm having a ball playing this game and I can recommend it to everyone who likes good open world shooters.

(Did I seriously forget to mention fishing? It's really fun but sadly repetitive)

Do yourself a favor and play on HARD. Play many side quests to gain perks. Do not rush. This is the farcry i always wanted. The last one i played was farcry 3. But this is something TOO GOOD that i have to say... this is the best of the best. If you are looking for a shooter that suits your ninja + rambo + mad play style this is the game for you. A love letter for the FPS gamer.

[AlexTheOilersFan]

This was my first Far Cry game and I love it. The gun play is awesome, the stealth is great, the story (saves for the endings) really got me invested, and pissed off, and the exploration was a treat. That being said, he endings are terrible and none are satisfactory, the decisions some of the characters make boggle my mind, and while having a silent protagonist was neat, them having a voice would’ve solved so many problems. Like warning Eli what Jacob is doing to us, or telling Kim that leaving HC and getting help is a sane idea. Or telling Whitehorse that letting Burke keep his gun is a dumb idea.

Overall, 8/10

Damn I hate being a broke high school student
