    Another thing that bothered me was that the whole man vs nature of the games is GONE! Before you truly did have to try and survive in the wilderness that you were put in. 5 there are little to no threats in the wild that actually pose a challenge. Anyone else remember the fear in FC3 when you heard a tiger nearby? Not only that but the removal of the crafting which really emphasised the man vs nature theme. Sadly after the Ubisoft forward it looks like we're seeing another silent protagonist and no man vs nature themes in FC6.

    Exactly! Farcry was one of my favorite game till 4th part, but when I played Farcry 5, I just lost interest, literally uninstalled it after playing forcefully for 3-4 Hours, I must have died for 6-7 times. One of the most important thing - a good progressive gameplay, Farcry 5 lacks it, but 3 and 4 has that quality, also it looks graphically appealing and very optimized for PC, but if looks so boring due to repetetive invironments, everything looks same...
    Farcry 5 is a big letdown for me, it doesn't have that disruption quality compared to Farcry 1, 2, 3 & somewhat 4 😢

    What really killed this game for me was the fact that you couldn't use the animal skins to make stuff. If you can't do that in a Far Cry game, then what's the point of having wild animals roaming around besides making the world feel alive? Sure, you can still sell animal skins for money, but what the hell do you need money for when you get plenty of that from the crappy side missions? You can kill animals for their skins in almost every open world game. And the story isn't anywhere near as interesting as the ones in the earlier Far Cry games. And I absolutely hate the fact that they give you a completely silent protagonist. At least FC 3 and 4 gave you a protagonist with some sort of character. I just didn't really think it added much to the series.

    • @dqverify6797
      @dqverify6797 Před 6 lety +49

      Agreed, agreed, agreed, agreed. The story sucks, and the silent protagonist makes it even worse--you don't have a character, so there's really no story, just a series of events. There's no reason for you to be doing any of the stuff you're doing. Giving in to the assholes who whined about a college kid being able to become a great soldier was a big mistake; there might be a reason for a civilian to join a local revolution and start killing, but there is NO reason for a law enforcement officer to do so. A LEO's goal would be to get out of the county and contact higher authorities, not to encourage civilians to risk their lives and take the lives of other civilians. (Not to mention that the idea that this cult has been operating in the open like this for so long without the National Guard showing up is ridiculous.) The story is completely un-engaging, and not remotely fun.
      And I too miss the crafting, especially the ability to quickly be able to carry more weapons and ammo. Being limited to three weapons (one of them a shitty handgun) for so long just sucked.

    18:40 - I agree with almost everything in this video except this bit. The repeating of the obstacle course is literally the point, not lazy design. It's the only part of the game that I thought was actually interesting. The intention here was to condition the player into completing the course on autopilot; you know where the enemies will be, you know what weapons you'll use in each 'room', you don't even think about what it is you're actually doing. You're being led into thinking, after the third repetition, that it's yet again another shooting gallery before the pay off that it was all the trick. You run around the final corner to take out the last guy you know is stood right there because that's where he's been the previous three run throughs.
    Changing the course between repetitions would completely remove the element of autopilot you're being trained for.

Adding the grappling hook, shooting while driving, vehicle takedowns, legitimate co-op, etc. Far Cry 5 hardly made any innovations. They could've added the ability so shoot while climbing, or while swinging from your grappling hook that's attached to your buddy's helicopter. They could've added co-op takedowns and a bunch of other cool game mechanics. But no. We got character customization and a bunch of lame DLC. Meh...

    Farcry 4 was actually the best, everyone says it's been going down hill since 3 but in 4 we had a multi-narrative structure where you can side with either Amita or Sabal throughout and you can save or kill pagan at the end plus the easteregg prologue ending and the two golden path endings. So we got like 5 endings there and you can make other choices throughout the story. FC5 goes back to 3 where it's a linear story in a open world where we have 2 choices at the end and 1 at the begining that's it. FC4 was almost a Farcry RPG, but 5 is dumbed down.

      I agree, FC4 was the best. It had a better, more solid story throughout the whole experience than 3. The only thing people bring up from Far Cry 3's story is Vas. And while he's a really good villain, hes really just a lakey to the main baddy like Paul and Luma were. Basically Vas just stole the show from the rest of the story, and besides him and Willis (and maybe Citra) all the other characters are insufferable. Including Jason, the protagonist. I personally thought that Pagan was a way better antagonist than Vas, but maybe thats because I liked his personality so much I didn't off him at the end of the game.
      We also got more weapons, activities, and the adition of strongholds. We got mechanical imorovements, like being able to kick. And like you said, we got a more dynamic story.
      But I wouldn't call it and RPG. If we're going to classify a game as an RPG if it lets you make a few choices or actions that impact the ending, then Black Ops 2 is an RPG.

      FC4 had a brilliant and fun "secret" beginning/ending that was cute because you actually had to work to get it to happen (you had to wait 15 REAL minutes) and it impacted the game very little. Pagan even lampoons the whole ending by saying, "Now, lets shoot some guns!" in a double entendre for what the characters were probably going to do next and for the player who was probably just going to start the game over and actually start playing the game. By contrast, FC5 gives you an immediate choice that lets you end a first person shooter (that you just paid $50 for) without firing a shot or choose to play 40 hours and then experience one of 2 stupid endings with the moral "if you hadn't resisted, everything would have been just fine".
      That "moral" is an insult to the players in that its is both ingenuine from the antagonists (because, given the way they were behaving, they would have eventually done every horrible thing to your friends that they said was your fault because you resisted) and condescending from the developers (its obvious that the stories are "rigged" because the choices you make somehow transcends to world events that a story's character should not be able to affect).
      The truth is, FC5's story seems to created by devs who hate Far Cry and Far Cry players even more.

    I played the game start to finish which is about 48 hours but I had experienced no jank except one time I managed to get my truck stuck between two boulders.
    Call me crazy but I was more engaged with this story than I ever was with Farcry 3 or 4 mainly because it felt that I was fighting for something and I could actually see it in subtle things like how enemy patrols stopped popping up once you liberated the area.
    Also yes the areas weren't visually diverse but each one had a different atmosphere : John's felt lively because that's where the resistance was strongest, Faith's felt a lot more somber due to the bliss and Jacob's felt like the middle of a war zone as an extension of his character.
    You mention how there's only 4 enemy types in the game, but that's how it was in every Farcry game now (whether or not this game should be held to a different standard because it's the latest is an argument whether or not you believe it's valid) and in this game specifically it felt satisfying to gun them down because of how good the guns are.
    The game also does away with all the monotonous things in the series, I played Farcry 3 to completion and beat Farcry 4 and nothing was more boring than running around in an area for 45 mins looking for those last five animals you needed so you can upgrade your syringe pouch, or how you climb one tower and then get bombarded by icons. Instead the game just let's you explore things dynamically and discover side quests and outposts on your own which to me was really immersive, organic and fun.
    The followers were also enjoyable since they banter with you and each other ( as long as you know they're not animals) and when I used them they weren't as indestructible or stupid as you made them out to be in your video, now granted I can't speak for your experience but when I would send in the bear it would take like 45 seconds before it got gunned down and I needed to revive it.
    There's a lot more I want to talk about but this comment is already long enough. I love video games a lot, I care about this industry immensely but it just sometimes seems that there's a lot of abject cynicism towards any new game lately. And I don't mean that we should just shovel shit developers shove down our throats and do it with a smile, but can we no longer enjoy a good game, and this game is good and just that good, it's no masterpiece but calling it below average when there are games like metal gear survive that are many orders of magnitude worse than it is just baffling to me.

  • @EdwardBrown77
    @EdwardBrown77 Před 3 lety +7

    My biggest complaint with FC5 (a game I liked for the most part, but seeing as I am a fan of the series, maybe I am biased) was the resistance meter. I found it way too easy to fill up the resistance meter by only doing a handful of missions. This took away from the story and made the villains seem like no threat at all. For example. Jacob's region has 10k resistance points. There are quite a few missions that reward you with 900RP. That's nearly 10% of the resistance meter earned by one mission. This also leaves little incentive to do side missions (aside from money). I liberated each region in less than three hours a piece. The story just felt rushed this way.
    The second area where the game lacks is with takedowns. That has been a staple of the FC series. Far Cry 5s takedowns just don't feel as satisfying as 3 and 4.

    using the glider you are automatically holding w as you are running so when you deploy the glider you are still holding w and well you crash straight into the ground or into a tree as you are not prepared for it to fall straight down
    approaching a ladder triggers a painfully slow animation so when you have 40 enemies trying to kill you and you approach the ladder your character will slowly try to enter it while getting killed

    You're totally right! I remember unlocking the wingsuit in FC3 with the mission where this American spy takes you on a plane to hunt down Hoyt Volker on the northern island. Now on this new island fighting a harder enemy because they have better guns, armor, gear and ordonnance weaponry. A challenge was felt all the way through, and if I'm correct. Hoyt's PMCs were just a little better AI because Va'as gang was just a bunch of pirates. More savage combat style perhaps, but still less combat intelligence which means they don't really know how to team play and be organized in combat. But the PMCs to me we're a real challenge. Felt like they were trying to flank me in small teams to catch me off guard and caused me to re-think my whole plan. Also, I remember that one time we're this PMC tried to lure me into a group of his teammates to ambush me.
    FC3 was just one of the best Far Cry in the whole history, and of course. I'm a huge fan of the original Far Cry's with Jack Carver. The very best one before FC3.

      He spent a bit too long on it and it and it wasn't _that_ funny. I think there are other reasons though. My play though of Far Cry 5, while a bit repetitive in places, was nowhere near as easy as he's describing on a fair few of the missions, on hard difficulty. I played it on pc so his auto aim complaints don't apply (although I would have thought there'd be an option to disable it if you want a challenge? Was there not?) However, on hard difficulty, if you run into an objective like you're invincible, it only takes around 3-4 hits to kill you, which I believe is the right way to play the game. You have to understand that they're also targeting these games to a wide audience, so you have to create your own difficulty by not choosing the most overpowered weapons and easy settings. The enemy AI could have been better, it also would've made harder difficulty settings very ruthless. There's also new game+ which I haven't tried as of yet but offers a veteran difficulty.
      Also the companions are not a terrible addition, they can make hunting less of a chore for example and provide a sense of not being alone. Relying on them to kill most of your enemies was not the intended purpose the way I perceive it. They don't have a high kill rate. If you're playing as intended then you'd be killing probably 4 for every 1 they kill. While they can be annoying and I chose not to use them in places due to them blowing my cover, I wouldn't mind them being in the next game because I had some entertaining moments with them and I get that it makes the game more accessible to some people. Again, choosing to have a cougar and bear is choosing the easy route and it's not a bad thing that this game allows a wide variety of play styles.
      His criticism on the challenges is not entirely accurate. I wish there were more of them, for different kinds of things, but having challenges for kills with each weapon is encouraging a variety of play styles. If you're always rushing in then making you get 30 kills with the sniper rifle means you taking a more tactical play style. Also the challenges for kills with companions are only up to like 10 kills max. If you play the game semi normally and just make a point of assigning them to an enemy every so often rather than standing there waiting, it shouldn't take more than a mission or 2 at most to get the kills needed. I really don't see the problem with that aspect although the system could have been a little more fleshed out and had more challenges depending on the companion type, that I agree with.
      None of this is to say he doesn't have some really good points as he's clearly a fan the series, but I think a lot of the dislikes also come from people who played the game disagreeing over trivial things he's not putting thought into like hating entirely on companions when a lot of people didn't mind them and not thinking about the deeper point of them making the more game accessible to a proportion of the viewers, think casual gamers. Things they didn't add in an obnoxious way and didn't deserve such a grilling. I've only watched half the video so far but I can say that much.

      2. The Setting, to someone who doesn't live in the US, is actually rather fun and refreshing.
      3. Characters, In past Far Cry games, It was mostly about the villain. This time, I liked the good guys just as much as the villains, that's a plus.
      4. Number of vehicles and modes of transport. Planes especially are pretty fun, even if rather slow. and yeah, you could argue that they are OP as hell, but this game was much more about giving you ridiculous options, rather than focusing on skill.
      5. Prepper hideouts are probably the best locations you can find in the Far cry series, they are consistently fun and pretty inventive.

    - AI too simple: True - there's a lot to be improved. Remark - on the pc version, the AI was simple, but didn't have any of the bugs you showed
    - FC5 the worst: Disagree - you can't endlessly step up the same way. You can step up with what technology offers (and yes, they didn't really do that fully).
    - AI companion useless: Disagree - I loved having a nice girl driving me in a muscle car while I shoot out the window. But yes, it's ridiculously easy to take over all camps with just your binocular.
    - Empty world: somewhat true - wingsuit, transportation, they didn''t really use this potentially beautiful world like in FC4
    - Helicopters overpowered: yes and no - Finally there are capable helicopters which throw a punch, but, they would need a better counterpart, maybe SAM sites you have to clear first or you have to fly like an ace to not get shot down, and if you got the skills, then there is no reason why you shouldn't enjoy the fireworks.
    - Best weapon in 45mins: True, it was too fast to get to the best stuff there. More grinding to earn the power would be more fitting. In FC4 you had to work quite a bit for the MG42
    - Hunting animals let down: yes and no - I'm an actual hunter, and FC5 did a good job with that. But the grinding for success, way better in FC4
    - monotone environment: true, unfortunately. The quality convinced me, rivers, mountains, which I actually like, but no diversity in the entire game... if you can come up with a few easy examples, they should have as well.
    Your point about animal attacks in a straight line: Disagree - Those animals in the game, which come at you in a straight line, do the same in real life !! And the mountain lion does sneak rather impressively around positions in the game, just as in real life. This critique is not valid ! A wolf doesn't run zig-zag just 5m in front of you to avoid you shooting it, unless they're in a pack, and then it's still something else... ;-)
    To sum it up:
    The content of FC5 could have been far more engaging. They got rid of a lot of fun techniques from FC4, but no replacement, just a void.
    I still like the game, and there are people who liked the music (namely me), but the developers should know, if they cheap out of good fun content, people might stop buying...
    Now you get a "like", cause your effort here is actually constructive criticism. Cheers.

    I just finished playing FC5, and I sadly have to agree with a lot of points you've mentioned.
    I think what bugged me the most though is how they introduce you to more of the main story (being drugged/hypno'd to the location). All 3 zones do this the exact same way (with minor variance), and all 3 zones have you escape/be let free, only to get captured a couple more times to progress the story further.
    All three zones just feels disjointed from one another, and rarely do I feel any of the games villians or story change, regardless of which zone is taken. Aside from Joseph pulling me off to a cutscene after every villians death to give me an eulogy towards the Seed member I killed, I see absolutely no recognition/acknowledgement in the other zones towards what I've cleared in the other two.
    The only thing I'd have to fully disagree with your review is the setting/environment.
    While FC3 and FC4 are more 'exotic' in terms of setting, I personally think that the visual environments aesthetics is more of a personal taste, rather than it being definitively good/bad. I personally enjoy more the montana wooded mountain setting, as it's not something I encounter as often.

But now it seems like Ubisoft cares more about graphics than actual gameplay and now we get these empty soulless worlds with no interesting story "But hey at least we have good graphics!" Honestly it feels like graphics these days has become more of a crutch than a bonus for developer effort.

    I think this game has so many supporters because people saw the Polygon article and thought this game was being attacked by the gaming media for not being political enough so they felt they had to support the game as a defense against SJW's. You know, CZcamsrs saw that article and ran with it since the outrage was great for views. Despite the fact that for PS4, Metacritic suggests that the game was received favorably by most critics with a respectable 81. And much less favorably by Metacritic users with a score if 6.8. That is actually a pretty big disparity. So no actual media conspiracy here. If anything media bias for the game. Just an average game. Look, compared to most 3rd party AAA endeavors these days I think Farcry 5 is fine... but not really great. And definitely not as good as Farcry 1-4.

    I agree with everything you said here! This game is a complete step backwards from their more successful predecessors! From a long time fan of of the Far Cry serious I’m seriously disappointed.
    They have erased key features that a game such as this drastically needs. The main protagonists doesn’t have a voice or even a name for that matter, so you feel no connection to them whatsoever infact I feel more connected to my “Fang for hire” than my own character. They’ve stripped down the story line so it feels just thrown together and erased a mini map, which when free roaming is extremely helpful and essential for knowing what roads to take and other ways you need to travel.
    I think most people who support this game haven’t truly played the previous ones, and it’s a shame to see this game take such a leap backwards and neglect some of the long time Far Cry fans.

    @mitchstepleton5145 Před 6 lety +139

    Gotta disagree here - on multiple levels. I just finished playing through 3 & 4 after beating 5. You sort of gloss over a bunch of details that don't fit your argument and overrate 3 and 4. 3 I get, as it had some really notable design choices, but 4? The gap in mechanics between 4 & 5 is much bigger than 3 & 4. I'll just use the helicopters as an example. You make it sound as if they are completely one dimensional - Except when the AI used them, I found them to be quite tough. If I didn't have the right gear or companion, taking one down was hard. You also skip over air vehicles when counting enemy types. Having AI divebomb you with planes is the most distinct enemy form in all of the games. And yes, Far Cry 5 did have 3 different 'biomes' or whatever. Mountains in the north, desert bluffs in the east, farmland in the west. The regions overall are more distinct than 4, as far as I can tell. Also, the prepper stashes are by far the best side quest variant in the entire series. Some of them were really well designed puzzles that fit very neatly into the game's theme and setting.
    Far Cry 5's weakest element by far was the constricted mission design of some of the encounters. Ubisoft spends years refining these interlocking game mechanics and then just throws them all away by forcing you to engage enemies head on. The boss fight with the pilot was the worst IMO. Just terrible. This is made worse by the fact some of them start without your prompting. That said, both 3 and 4 had similar missions. None of them are purely open world in the same way something like fallout is.
    You don't have to like Far Cry 5 - everyone has an opinion. But I see a bunch of value judgements stated as fact. Also, ebonics isn't a good look.

    • @jamessawley213
      @jamessawley213 Před 6 lety +8

      No... just no, air vehicles aren't any challenge. In FC5 the AI choppers fly low so you can just take them out with your demigod level grenade fastball or if out of range shoot the tail/pilot with an AR/LMG. Planes aren't any better either as they just fly around and do an occasional gun run where they fly extremely low and can easily be RPGed or have their pilot shot down. If being shot at, the pilot has no attempts to flee, do evasive maneuvers or bomb the immediate threat posed so its not challenging to fight.
      Prepper stashes are extremely boring and simple. Regain power to the door, open it and get a new gun, perk mags and sometimes escape the booby traps set. There's no challenge or difficulty in finding a circuit breaker or generator and proves to be just a filler element.

      Honestly im baffled by how many people criticized shit like quest design in this game While fc4 and 3 had such a bad quest design which forced you to a specific play style and made you progress in a very overly scripted way without much to do.
      Remember the forced stealth sections in fc3? Or every single drug mission in fc4?
      Far cry 5 is a true open ended game
      No forced play style upon the player, no annoying overly scripted quests
      3 regions unlocked from start where you can go at your own pace and explore 3 different character arcs for the villains which makes the story well more fleshed out than past entries and you could also play its entirety in coop which actually made sense since you could create your own character
      To add to the game it also get rid of ubisoft towers so exploration actually matters and the roast of guns were actually different from past entries with shit like an Mp40 to play with, which is completely awesome (having a ww2 weapon in a far cry game is literally gunporn perfection) they also sound better, feel better to shoot as it has added bullet physics and are designed better (even tho some mirrored models still bugs me)
      The only things i can complain about this game is the horrible A.I that made the game way easier than it should and how we have to play new dawn for the conclusion

    Having waited patiently FC5 to be available on special, I'm late to the party here as I only finished it this morning - I hope somebody actually reads this. As a fan of the series, I found it enjoyable, but definitely agree that it was wildly overrated and in many ways dumbed down/overly streamlined. I found the mission diversity quite fun and satisfying, and enjoyed the music (except that intro/map tune, that did get tired). I also enjoyed that I didn't have to bother about separating crafting items from items I could sell. The world could have definitely done with more environmental variety - "mountains and trees" (+lakes/rivers/fields) sums up the bulk of it. Difficulty and resources in this game are totally out of whack - most missions are easy (I always play on "medium", which usually keeps me challenged).
    Also, from early in the game you're loaded up on most loot items, and I got thoroughly sick of being told "FULL" when trying to pick things up. Only a handful of times did I have to go do some hunting to be able to afford an ammo topup or medkits (fishing was moderately enjoyable at these times). As in previous iterations, once you've leveled up a bit and you can arm yourself with an LMG and sniper rifle, you're pretty much unstoppable - this is satisfying, but calls for better balance. The aircraft flying mechanics are too dumbed down and not very enjoyable, and I frequently found my wing suit wouldn't activate and I'd fall to my death when trying to use it. The ending is in the usual Far Cry mold, where you are left a little underwhelmed but with food for thought or questioning your decisions in the game.
    The biggest issue by far is that, whilst there is the promise of a strong plot, it is very poorly executed and with no sense of continuity. The sequence of cut-scenes and associated missions of the core story seem to be crudely overlaid with the rest of the world, to the point that you stop caring about them - especially the repetitious ones you get dragged into. For the first three quarters of the game, I found it to run quite well, but also encountered strange glitches and inconsistencies towards the end. This tells me it was rushed out the gate, and helps to explain some of the other lack of polish. The "Arcade" element was fun and with some well designed levels, but I can't say that I'm inclined to fire up the game again just for that - only one or two particular levels seem to have any sort of multiplayer audience.
    Previous installments in the series made me want to continue playing after the story missions were over, to finish all the outposts and side missions - not so with this one. I think they'll have to pull something quite different out of the hat for the next one - it has been interesting to watch this series evolve and I'm quite looking forward to what is in store next time around.

    • @RennsReviews
      @RennsReviews  Před 6 lety +18

      compared to FC5, 4 is amazing, however not as good as 3, not very memorable apart from Pagan min, but at the very least it enhanced certain mechanics. I'm not fantasizing them - maybe a little bit with 3 since I really loved it when it came out, but when you stack them up against THIS game, they are fantastic. overall I thought 4 was "kinda good" but 5 made me appreciate it more.

    • @Tardivex
      @Tardivex Před 6 lety +4

      The problem with Pagan Min isn't that he's a bad villain or anything, in fact he's pretty great, but he only shows up in the intro and then is pretty much gone for the whole game only to show up at the very end again, there's barely any interaction with the guy, unless you count the taunts he sends you over the radio or whatever every now and then but that's hardly comparable to something like Vaas for instance, which incidentally died 3/4s into his game to be substituted for a way worse villain, and Jason's "character arc" in 3 wasn't as good as you make it sound either but whatever, overall 3 was a pretty fun game since it was fresh at the time while 4 was less so considering it was pretty much 3 over again

    • @LaiosTouden
      @LaiosTouden Před 5 lety +1

      @@Tardivex I agree with @Irina Rostkoko honestly. I liked that Pagan wasn't there a ton because when he did show up, when I did get to see him IRL, I got really excited. Given the premise of his character as hated king, it also makes sense that you only physically interact with him at the most important parts of the game: the beginning (to retrieve his beloved stepson), Durgesh (a completely secure location, also a turning point in the story which starts the second half of the campaign), and the end (when you overthrow him). Having him there every 2.5 seconds would have watered down the effect and been nonsensical.
      It makes sense for Vaas to be around more because he's much more immediately threatened by your presence. While Pagan is your weird, supportive uncle who wants to give you Kyrat anyway, Vaas is a king who has no desire to lose the power he has gained. He knows you're a real threat. Of course he's going to want to mess with you any chance he gets. Vaas' whole premise as down-and-dirty pirate lord allowed him to be written into more of the game, and although I loved him, it did sometimes get to a point where I was like, "seriously it's Vaas again? Is there really nobody else competent enough around here?"

    i agree with most of the things here but the music was truly incredible it was just amazing it was the best part of the game , the game was way too easy though i used jess black i have no idea why i would use anyone else just sit in the bushes snipe out anyone i have a clear view of because why not let her handle the rest she took them out one by one with ease, using a semi automatic sniper rifle made it impossible to want to use any other weapon just sit int he bushes snipe anyone i see after marking them, then when i got the heatseeking rocket launcher i could take out planes by just standing there, i thought it was hilarious when i was told the "chosen one" is out to hunt me "they don't mess around " epic music starts i see plane i aim 3 i prepare for my second aim because i assume the first one will fail then it just explodes, epic music starts then stops in a matter of 5 seconds, all i could like from this game is the story the ending was good to me it was unexpected many seems to have hated it but to me i was completely oblivious to it throughout the events i thought a thing like that could happen even listening to the radio broadcasts reminded me of fallout but then it turns out it did happen and that was something that blew me away unlike most other games, i never usually play games for the gameplay just the story and feel so i didn't care much about the lack of crafting i expected it i looked everywhere for it then i realized it's not even there i never gave it any thought.
