Far Cry 5 Message Board  

I remember playing the first Far Cry game, and also the Xbox version called Instincts. I never played the second or the third. The third one I heard was amazing primarily because of the protagonist. Nobody is better than Vaas. I think the series stopped there, or should have frankly.

I bought Primal because I was on an ARK-hype fest. It was alright. Now, I bought the fourth one, and I regretted it. And I'm passing on this one because it's the same thing over and over. It's like the FPS version of Assassin's Creed, but at least their games don't have EAC.

I already bought the game and yes I am hoping for a trainer. But if there is no trainer well you can't win them all.

I admit am done with Far Cry. Just not feeling the game even with Four it was meh.

I had it preordered, because I sometimes make bad choices when intoxicated, but got it refunded and and put the money toward a new record player I've been eyeing.

I like the series, it's loads of fun. There is value in the cut and paste game that has a formula that works. But Ubi's policy here on anti-cheating is repulsive. It's not their business what people do in single player, forcing the player to conform to their own preconceptions of what an experience should be is opposed to the nature of PC gaming, where the player has traditionally had control over their personal experience be that cheating or mods or whatever the heck the player wants. Anyway.

I made the mistake of buying the gold edition before I knew there weren't going to be any trainer's for this game. $ 89.00 OUCH !!

I've been enjoying it so far, it is a bummer that there might not be a trainer but I've been making it through the game pretty well without. Not as trigger happy as I like to be without infinite ammo, so I fall back on how I play online shooters and it's been working well for me.

To me, I like the setting more than the previous games. The feeling of familiarity I get from it being set in rural America has been enjoyable, and the... less scripted and more organic/random game events help me get more immersed. Even the lack of a minimap makes exploring more interesting and rewarding feeling. I noticed the same thing when I started a second play through of Ghost Recon: Wildlands and turned nearly all the HUD elements, including the minimap off.

With that being said, gamers should be able to enjoy the single player parts of a game as they want. Not a fan of the EAC they've been slapping onto their games lately, makes me less inclined to want to buy future games from them. People who cheat/mod single player games are a minority, even less people cheat in online games. And when it comes down to it, someone will find a way around it as always.

I have not seen you around in ages!

I'm working too many hours for too little money to have the willpower to socialize. I keep saying that when things slow down I'll re-establish a presence on forums. But it doesn't slow down. So maybe ranting about developers not doing things exactly how I like is what drags me out from under the rock.

As Jim Sterling is fond of saying, "Ohhhhhhhh, Ubisoft."
