i turned off dave chapelle and chris rocks new specials for being too political, and I love both comedians.

Im enjoying the hell out of this game and have no attachment. It's my first FC game.

There is nothing wrong with the story. I am not offended. I get to kill bad guys.

Who should be offended, people who think like the seed family?

It's not a deep and well-crafted story, but I don't think anyone has ever played Far Cry for the main plot. The villains are usually interesting. That's it.

I think it's easier to "reconcile" — if you have to do that for a dang game — blowing away crazy, murderous cultists in Montana than [insert foreign placeholder here] like other games.

I've never played a FC game. I'm assuming these are standalone and I can pick up 5 and play it without issue?

Correct. All the games are similar in mechanics and set up and may have some easter eggs that are tributes to other games, but the story is standalone.

The game has been purposefully vague in key areas in the political commentary. They take a jab at "who is running things". Well, who is that? Leftists can be like "Yea frick Trump!". On the other hand, the antagonists are all crazy right wing lunatics, so maybe they are saying frick Obama.

In actuality, the story is about a crazy religious zealot that is pissed off at the country and world and wants to cleanse it. If that is too political for you, probably should play video games

Well right now everything seems overwhelming

It’s like I’m not sure what order to do stuff in.

But that’s how the game is designed to be so. Lol

Yea there is no right way to do things. Do what you want. I usually end up spending early parts of the game just exploring the entire map, beating all the outposts and trying to discover as many of the side quests and missions as I can. Then, with the entire map unlocked, I can fast travel as needed and start checking off missions.

I don't know what it is about Trump supporters but they get way too easily offended by political jokes/satire than in years past with other presidents. Buyer's remorse I guess.

After you gain the 13000 resistance points in John's region, is it worth it to finish the rest of the quests?

Man I love this game, so fun. I love the tweaks they did with no minimap and no towers but didn’t take away from the same old good old fun as frick far cry formula. I caught so many fat sturgeon today LOVE fishing.

My only, and it’s not really even a gripe more of a LOL....fricking turkeys take 5-6 rounds from a rifle to die, and that’s after they charge you haha

The left takes the right calling BS as being offended.

Not the same.

The arcade may be the worst thing in the world. So many of the maps and load outs are just awful. I just want to play Normal pvp. Let me select a normal game on a normal map dammit.
