This game is total trash

[Illtempered]

I enjoyed the previous Farcry games and was bored so I did something stupid and paid for this trash. Don't waste your time. If you've played previous Farcry games you've already played much better versions of this. Uninstalled after about 5 minutes of playtime(after being forced to watch ♥♥♥♥♥♥ cut-scenes for God knows how long. Yawn.

Oh no! A cutscene that gives story to what we are doing? THE HORROR!

Far Cry is a predominantly story-based game. So if that isn't what you wan't go play something else?

If you've played previous Farcry games you've already played much better versions of this

FC5 is really a lot different to previous entries in the series in many respects. For example;

. GFH
. Co-op whole game
. more emphasis on humour and mayhem
. USA setting
. Fishing
. Planes and helicopter gunships

Plus many other differences.

I liked FC2,3 and 4 much better but I don't regret playing FC 5. I didn't play FC5 as much as the previous games but I still had a good time with the game for a few weeks.

The game was good for a single play-through, not appealing enough for a repeat since the only unique thing about the game was the story-line.

Considering the low # of current players vs. the number of copies sold vs. the higher # of players for lower priced games, Uplay definitely put one over on the player-base.

Erm...

. GFH - had that in Far Cry 4. Albeit, it was mainly hurk and other NPC's but you still had guns for hire.
. Co-op whole game - that's slightly better than what was in Far Cry 4.
. more emphasis on humour and mayhem - in what ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ way??? Which parts of the game were funny?
. USA setting - this may be the only positive in your entire list...
. Fishing - this... is not a positive.
. Planes and helicopter gunships - that materialise out of thin air and glitch out of existence at times... not a pro in this case - definitely a con.

This was great for having co-op playthrough. As a singleplayer only game I could never have finished it.

The only thing Far Cry 5 is lacking is a great story, it has a decent story, but the gameplay is either on par or exceeds 3 and 4. The story of 3 was the best imo.

to each their own

[DivineLion]

this is better than 4 lol. far cry 3 the best

[Diggergig]

Hey the arcade stuff is good.

Apparently someone has never played a far cry game before really. Welcome to games with a story, they use cutscenes. Always have, always will.

Finally, I have found other FC3 fans. It was my series favourite.

Don't tell him about the Final Fantasy games, I hear they have them too.

Just finished the game with my friend, it was almost co-op the entire way untill I just said ♥♥♥♥ it and let him finish all the boring missions on our 3rd region. The only reason he did so was so that he could finish it and delete it. He didn't want to leave it halfway after paying for it. The story was interesting in idea but ♥♥♥♥ execution in my opinion. I never felt any sympathy for any of the characters. They were all just boring and one-sided. There was too much over-the-top unrealistic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cluttered around the story that it never got me immersed in it. It was the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with a different color. ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ up untill you're caught. Break out. Kill the one who kidnapped you, raid their "base" to rescue some insignificant character that you hardly saw during your playthrough. Do it 4 times over. Finish it. I had great hopes, I really did love Far Cry but I don't see any major improvement to anything from the previous games. Also yeah, OP has a point. After we were halfway through we skipped every cutscene. I was also frustrated with the ones I couldn't skip because it was all ♥♥♥♥. I just had to sit there looking at my phone as Faith kept talking about oh how she was abandoned and the father rescued her but she didn't use to be like this. Oh she's good, oh she's bad. Who gives a ♥♥♥♥ when her character is so plain and boring. Only times you saw these characters were mainly when they kidnapped you so you don't even see anything about them that would make you care. I'm honestly infuriated about what was done to this game. They spent too much time trying to pretty up the game and leave out gameplay with just some minor additions. Also aiming system was shoddy as ♥♥♥♥. Add smoothing for ♥♥♥♥♥ sake.

So, you skipped cutscenes and then complained that the only time you saw characters where when they kidnapped you?
