All bored of this now then?
All bored of this now then?
Nope, still rinsing fuck out of it. I don't hammer games like I used to these days though, I miss having ten free hours every day.
Nope, I was on holiday.
Played it the other day and it's still brilliant, I've got one of those shit hunted things to do though.
Just started on the final region today.
I did John's region apart from a few side missions and little map notifications and just moved onto Faith's region. I've put in some time to it and not really scratched the surface yet, as I only play maybe up to an hour at a time this is going to last me ages.
Far Cry: New Dawn is kinda FC5.5, set in the post-endgame events of FC5 (bit spoilery if you've not finished it):

Might be worth a punt but I've already got a ridiculous backlog of games to get through. I need about 6 months off
No thanks, I don't think I can play FarCry 3 for the 5th time in 5 years.
The mini releases between proper games have never grabbed me, plus I'm still waiting for a heavy sale before getting 5. FC2 is ten years old now, might fire that up instead and play halfway through it like every other time.
Far Cry 5 was discounted on Gamesplanet the other week but not enough for me to go in.
I never finished Far Cry 2, I also get to the halfway point and am then done.
I've not completed every FarCry game since 3.
So you have completed some of them? So cryptic.
2 and 3 I have done. All of them since, no.
Far Cry 2 is still my favourite. I mean, 3 and 4 are better games but there's a cohesiveness to 2 before they crack the code and litter the map with THINGS.
5 was alright, but the story was kinda bobbins. Still one of the best games for ad-hoc crazy shit happening, but you can't overthink it.
2 lost me when you had to be saved by the guy you were supposed to be killing. I pissed around and enjoyed the fire physics for a while after that, but I was never seeing the story through after that start.
3 was the best by some distance.
FarCry 2 was total shit but seems to have done a whole load of influencing modern game designers which is weird.
I loved 2, it felt raw and immersive, albeit it clearly ran out of steam.
They've all been formulaic mince since then and as a result, 5 was (whisper it) actually shite.
4 was my favourite, I liked the villain in it. I forget his name now. I'm not sure I ever finished 3, and I haven't even played 5 yet. Primal was the last one I bought which, admittedly, was a bit shit.
Pagan Min. He was good, I really didn't like having to make story choices which pretended to be 'mature' by being shades of grey but they were also massively black & white. You could do it this way and have child soldiers or do it the other way and tell the militia they're allowed to rape and pillage. Meanwhile I'm supposed to be roleplaying an American college student who landed 30 minutes ago to bury my dead mum.
I tried playing 3 on a PC that was out of date by 4 years even when it was brand new and then a touch on a PS3.
4 was quality with the co-op, although I didn't play anything after me and Ian did all the co-op stuff.
I barely touched Primal and 5 started well but I quickly got bored.
I finished 3, but abandoned 4 shortly after meeting those crackheads that lived on a cliff. I did enjoy a bad guy that made Julian Clary look like Chuck Norris, though. At least briefly.
I was waiting for 5 to drop in price, but I haven't bothered yet.
Primal was so bad, so so bad.
2 is two mechanics away from being perfect and is therefore the best. 3 & 4 are basically the same but the story is easier to ignore in 4 and the baddie is also better (Despot Llewelyn-Bowen over Captain Ooh-Aren't-I-Mad any day of the week) but both are inherently silly for making me stitch a wallet out of crocodile dicks and eagle beaks.
