Far Cry 5 impressions (no spoilers)

Lots of skinning dead animals to make purse. Can't wait.

What else you have to play? Far Cry games are always decent outside of Primal.

Ive never played any Far Cry games. I keep seeing the commercial for the new one. What is the premise of the game? I am use to playing Sandbox type games on PC. FPS on Xbox.
Is this game worth buying? Should I hold out for a few weeks?

Yes, Father.

A few hours in, PC version. I like it.

Far Cry 5 impressions

Great game. But why do npc’s keep stealing my vehicles and running off. Screw you, you bunch of chickens.

Great game other than that.

Beautiful game, a lot of fun. I like the Far Cry format so no issues with outposts, etc. Love open world concept.

Pros:

- Gorgeous
- Creative premise
- Well-optimized performance-wise
- Fun gameplay


Gripes:

- Janky NPC's
- Spawning/despawning of enemies and allies seems buggy. Saw an armored convoy from my helicopter heading north, landed helicopter at the first intersection I could find to get out and line up a shot, the convoy was gone.
- Would appreciate more weapon variety. They seem to be going skin-heavy without much variance in the number of base models per weapon class you can acquire.
- Immersion can be pretty much ruined with any amount of time on a major road. They keep those roads too busy with fighting/enemies. Same kind of goes for animals in the wild. They didn't at all follow the "less is more" line of thought.

ETA: People who are saying its too political are getting their panties in a wad. Even if you believe its a jab at evangelicals, almost all of the "good guys" are combat veterans, cynical towards the federal government and even occasionally refer to globalist conspiracies in cartoonized fashion. A badass christian Pastor in Holland Valley is one of the leaders. But these characters are likable. So worst-case scenario it is poking fun without taking a clear stance against the red-blooded Americans its portraying.
