Can you just kill Cult Leader?

[Alumno Superstes]

Has any veteran player there tried to go straight for main boss? Or is the site scripted and locked before lieutenants are dead from each zones?

I was thinking of this since this game seems to be more nonlinear than 6th part.

You can use the Resistance Mod to control how fast you get Resistance points, so with the right settings in the Resistance Mod you could go through the game REALLY fast.

you can't fight the "boss" early, only after you kill the 3 bozos, and after the 9 scripted, forced missions

No, because the developers actually subbed their own political ideas into the game. They're a bunch of liberal wokes from Montreal and Toronto, and they made the whole game to mock the right wing (as you can see in many places in game). So no matter what you do, the "cult leader" (Trump) and the cult (Maga) wins.

This is unironically true and real... when this game release back in spring of 2018 i remember seeing a bunch of Youtube videos and threads on Reddit talking about how they were actually pissed that Ubisoft wasn't overtly saying the game is mocking Trump or MAGA voters and should've done more against them...

So, like clockwork people made Youtube videos and Reddit threads mocking the people mad that it wasn't more explicit that "Orange Man Bad" and telling people to buy the game and that it's actually really good.... I wasn't thinking about buying the game back then but when I saw all the hub-bub going on about it I said "♥♥♥♥ it" and got the game... loved every second of it.

Hey we got peggies over here

i could never use the resistance mod. farcry 5 is probably the best of the series (with the exception of the ridiculous boss fights and the fact that the whole county expects ONE rookie ranger to "liberate" the county. (think the resistance mod would fix that though)

really, from a cynical perspective the game is a satire on the FPS genre, american exceptionalism and tons of controversial topics. is fun destroying the cult step by step (with the resistance mod) but id always wanted to play cooperative on the hardest difficult with a seasoned player. just like the good old ghost recon authentic sessions

Isn't it unironically true and real indeed!? the reviews on reddit , most of them, barely scratched the ultimate satire, i think the french trolled a bit americans, first playthrough i had in 2018 i utterly detested the game, but some time later i realized what a subliminal masterpiece it was (not in gameplay, but the setting easter eggs, stuff you see in countless sidequests that are bugged due to the fact the game forces you in the tedious boss encounter and battles...) the silly musicbox which "brainwashed" the player into what resembles a lot "military programs in the cold war, where people were "conditioned to kill someone without even knowing why .. if it werent for these game breaking bugs, i think it would be one of the best farcry. but no unfortunately it seemed they rushed a lot, the plot can be "figured it out" maybe by people familiarized with the 90's paranoia/conspiracy theories and the repetitive gameplay is tiresome... i'd be willing to try in the hardest difficult but playing co-op otherwise its constant relying on the AI ressurecting you every 2min

*** SPOILER ALERT

The cult was really trying to do good. the so called-"reaping" was their answer to the goverment draconian measures (several random newspapers can be seem, depicting "doomsday preppers being prosecuted for storing RAIN WATER" (pretty much like: we do not want you out of the grid, but relying on federal emergency services, therefore setting a community, gathering weapons to protect themselves "from the armies of babylon, like David Koresh said" (lol ironically the cult leader joseph is loosely based on koresh even though he wasnt THAT insane, but it was rather the image media was trying to pass back in the 90s. the ICBMS in the end was the result of political instability (a possible reason to want to kick out the cult and take advantage of the cold-war silos and the mountains , you fell the whole game "isolated".. like,, if the "rook" (a short for rookie and also a chess piece) if he could fly planes so why couldn't they just escape the county and get back with reinforcements? (because in the start they state that F 18s from a nearby airbase had been instructed to down any plane leaving the airspace .. doesnt make sense yeah, except if the society is really on the brink of collapse like some radio transmissions suggest . In a very subtle way, you are the bad guy. a pawn following orders shooting people "liberating" settlements (not worried about the dozens of civilians armed to the teeth)

the silent protagonist, i understood it was intentional, as an observer "the good guy who needs to gun down bad guys - no questions asked, (like some infamous law enforcement operations like WACO, Ruby Ridge

Anyway, the ResistanceMod really fixes all those gamebreaking issues? and if so, there are still people playing the game today ? thx
