Far Cry 5's the level of detail is quite enjoyable, the realistic approach with first person perspective is very pleasing.

The repetitive nature of gameplay is an issue that exist in both Far Cry and Just Cause. One difference is that Just Cause offers more "toys", it is fun to mess around with the gadgets they provide you within the game. Moreover, different vehicles can be spawned via in-game feature.
I had a lot of fun with Just Cause for these two features along. People were able to do cool stunts in Just Cause with a creative approach to the tools given, that can not be said for Far Cry 5. I think it is the silly moments when you experiment with different things that makes Just Cause special. Overall, I had more fun with Just Cause because I can always find new use of the given gameplay mechanisms, it really helps with the otherwise repetitive gameplay.

I can not comment about Just Cause 4's story since I haven't experienced it, yet I don't think it is going to be better than Far Cry 5's. Granted that there are noticeable inconsistencies, but the overall atmostphere and story flow is executed so much better in Far Cry 5. Some writing in Just Cause 3 is just plainly cringy and out-of-place, let along that the overall tone of the game is kinda weird, I think it can be attributed to their failure to balance the comedical elements and the serious part of the story. Far Cry 5 is far from the best, but it is still way better than Just Cause 3 in terms of the story.

In terms of weaponry, there is something more pleasing in Far Cry 5 in comparison to Just Cause 3 due to the fact that Just Cause 3's weapons are sometimes too overpowered. Considering that Far Cry 5 is a first-person shooter, maybe the comparison here isn't fair.
Just Cause 4 is introducing a new weapon system: every in-game weapon is going to have a secondary fire option, which I think would spice the gunplay up a lot. In addition, the gadgets can be used in combat, it would be very satisfying especially if you know how to best utilize them. Plus, the developers have made a huge improvements on enemy A.I. and enemy diversity in Just Cause 4, it seems that now the role of each enemy type is much more distinct, I would be eager to experience it.

I enjoyed some set pieces of Far Cry 5, in terms of gameplay content that is tied to the story, Just Cause 3 seemed to lack that kind of dedicated story content that are unique to experience in comparison. Maybe it is because whether it is the main story or not, the primary objective is often to blow things up. However, some footage from Just Cause 4 has suggested that there is going to be some improvements on the variation (on how you blow things up).

In terms of content quantity and diversity, Far Cry 5 wins effortlessly against Just Cause 4. Just Cause 2 had a huge chunk of content, but the quality is very limited.

Anyway, these are just my random thoughts that I scribbled down, I hope it helps.

Just Cause 4. Far Cry 5 is too repetitive in gameplay and not as good looking in graphics. I own both games. FC5 is still a good game though.

I remember I got JC 3 and uninstalled it so fast. It seems I did not give much time to convence myself. Far Cry 5 to me is one of the best game I have ever played.
Let us see JC 4.

Lol what.. Just Cause is one of the most repetitive games out there but you enjoy it cause of all the destruction so don't tell me its not. JC3 was massively repetitive.

Far Cry 5 has mod on graphics, it wins. Gameplay/control? In JC4 is easier walking, climbing (like 3rd JC), while in FC5 you play from 1st person and can't climb on tree, or steal helicopter in air.. but can go stealth play, JC4 I GUESS there is no stealth. 2 different games in shooting. Both are very good. Both Gold edition (for me only JC4 bcs money, bcs I like more JC then FC)

:steammocking::steammocking:you drunk bro.....FC5 on max pc graphics looks stunning compared to what i have seen on youtube for JC4. JC4 will still look good on high end pc's at launch but FC5 will still beat it.

Agreed, heck i played Diablo2 for more than 1000 Hours but Diablo2 didnt felt as repetetive as Just Cause 3. I had to force me to play JC3, and i never finished it, too repetetive and boring...

Far Cry 5 was my finish nail for the series.. I liked them all but 5 was utter garbage in terms of content. 2 playthoughs 1 solo.. 1 coop within 20 h is just sad for a far cry game.

Jc all the way. Had hundrets of hours fun with jc 2 and 3 together. Because its not only shooting and some stealth.

Far Cry 5 was boring ♥♥♥♥ :evillaugh: Hope JC4 would be more fun for me.
