Mournblade Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 The more I play Far Cry 5, the better it gets. I finished the SW "farmland" region, and have now moved on to the Northern "mountain" region. This region is incredible, filled with towering peaks that you can scale and treacherous, winding roads that require all of your skill to navigate. You can also jump off various jump-points and deploy your wingsuit. I haven't played a game that so meticulously replicates a mountainous region like this one -- you literally get vertigo in certain areas. My "deputy" is pretty stacked at this point. 4 weapon slots, one for a handgun w/silencer (close quarters), one for a sniper rifle w/silencer (long range), one for M60 Machine gun (AOE weapon), and one for a mini-rocket launcher ( to take out aerial assaults) -- the latter one being the most fun (and most satisfying) to play. If you get this game, I would just go around explore each region thoroughly, completing all side quests and mini quests, before moving on to the main quests. This game is such a delight to explore, revealing hidden secrets and suprises just around every corner. God of War is going to have to wait because I am loving this game too much atm.

purbeast Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 My God of War arrived this morning a lot earlier than Amazon usually drops stuff off. I don't know how much time I'll have this weekend to dig into it though since tonight's the Wiz game, tomorrow Caps in the afternoon, then Sunday I'm headed to the Wiz game. And then both Saturday and Sunday I have kids birthday parties to go to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I finished the SW part first too, then recently moved to the north section so I can get the mother****ing bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purbeast Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I won't spoil anything or give a review. I mean the game is fantastic there's no need for a review. If you have a PS4 there's really no reason NOT to play it. And if you didn't like GoW before, this game feels nothing like it really other than having Kratos in it. It's so different.

Mournblade Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Just finished Far Cry 5. I'm going to downgrade my initial grade of A- to a less satisfying B+. The game has a lot going for it -- gorgeous graphics, fantastic gameplay, quests and activities galore -- but I'd say 60% of the writing is atrocious (lazy, cliched -- you'll be cringing through most of it) and the game is utterly plagued with bugs. Also, man, I'm getting a little tired of first person shooters. What do Uncharted 4, Tomb Raider, Horizon Zero Dawn, Fallout 4, Mass Effect, Last of Us and Far Cry all have in common? Yeah, all first person shooters. Hopefully God of War is a nice tonic from these types of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally am done with FPS myself and haven't touched one in ages, other than Farpoint with Aim controller for PSVR, which is quite a bit different than your standard FPS. The market got completely over saturated with them years ago and they just do nothing for me now a days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llevron Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Last legit FPS I played was Destiny 2 and it was such a let down on release that I was out of it by the first real patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Bethesda's tps camera from what I remember, was always wonky, but its pretty solid in Fallout 4. I still don't use it though . As far as I can tell, there is still a pretty good balance between tps view and fps view. The Shadow and Witcher games are also TPS. Arkham is tps. Spider-Man and RDR 3 will be tps. Don't really see the issue. Frankly, my issue is that the cannibilazation that online gaming is causing as the result of the heavy fps online gaming franchises. TPS games are really probably the only non sports titles that can go blow for blow with them. Also, if anyone has never played them, I HIGHLY suggest the Mass Effect Trilogy. If you don't have one still, it's worth getting your hands on a gump 360/PS3 (EA/BioWare is currently still trying to find a way out from under the massive pile of **** that got dumped one them after the Andromeda disaster, and any hope there was of a potential current gen remaster is probably gone, as a ton of folks have been reassigned, and I think the lead guy completely left the company) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Mass Effect is my favorite video game franchise of all time. If you're an RPG fan and you haven't played the original trilogy yet, get the eff on it. Andromeda wasn't as bad, although was clearly not to the same standard as the original. If they released a ME trilogy remastered, I'd pay upwards of $100 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've probably got a better chance of actually discovering something like the mass effect phenomena than that **** ever getting remastered. I liked Andromeda too, but it got mercilessly crushed like nothing I've ever seen before. Would be awesome though, if they did something like Bethesda, with some mod features. There will never be another trilogy like that. People aren't that bold. Even ME2 and 3 weren't what 1 was. 1 is just a science fiction action narrative marvel, in every way imaginable. And I would gladly fork over $100. Truth be told, it may run like $150. And I'm talking also new weapons, new suits new dialogue (all of the voice actors except Zaeed are still alive iirc, seems like half of them did work in FO4, because I currently recognize Garrus, Ashley, and the Synth from Far Harbor sounds like Vigil from Ilos. I would fork over that amount willingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I think with the sour note 3 kinda ended on, people were really expecting a lot from Andromeda and I think most would agree (I haven't played it other than the demo) that it didn't live up to any of the original trilogy games, which is why it was so disappointing.

Fresh8686 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Anybody remember battletech or mechcommander/mechwarrior from back in the day? There is a battletech being released on the PC tomorrow. That'll be my next focus after finishing Far Cray 5 yesterday. Far Cray was fun if you didn't pay attention to the story. One of the few games that I enjoyed walking from one mission to another, rather than fast traveling because of all the random events and chaos that would occur.

I'm not sure if I like that aspect of the game. You're completing some side quest when suddenly your health bar starts to plummet and you look down and there's a wolverine attached to your leg. Kind of irritating after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beat Far Cry 5 last Thursday. It was fun, although I thought all three endings were terrible. I can understand having at least one bad ending, but when your choices are bad, terrible, and ****ing horrible....come on. I’ve been playing GoW since Friday. Game is amazing. I’ve never been a fan of the GoW series, but this one is excellent. When I’m done with this I’ll go back to finishing Horizon Zero Dawn, and Hellblade on Xbox.

Mr. Sinister Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Dammit, don't make me go back and play that game again. I can pretty much recite the script, and visualize every npc movement, spawn point, and weapon burst/reload ratio after so many playthroughs over the years. It's bad. Think @Llevron and MHW ×5. Bamma's ask me where I'm from in real life and I occasionally lose it and tell them I was an orphan, and cut my teeth as a youngin' in the Earth slums with the Reds. Blood in, blood out. #RenegadeLife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
