I started that too last week.  I gave it 2 hours before I couldn’t take anymore.  Too broken and glitchy for me.  The last straw was the bit in the truck where the game makers clearly thought their audience would find it amusing to run over or machine gun various large animals. It was too much I’m afraid.

I don't think I've seen any animals yet

That's one of the things that's stopped me getting right into this game. Happens almost immediately after finishing any story missions of significance. I just want to dick about and explore the map, not be locked into an annoying side game all the time.

That said, I'll likely go back to it once I've had my fill of just cause 4. If anyone's up for some co op, gimme a shout, loved doing that in far cry 4 with chazmano.

Yeah I think I prefer 3 & 4. Lack of wildlife it's definitely party of that. It's kinda ok I guess, but feels a bit samey?

Best way to play 5 IMO is to turn off all the HUD elements, just leaving the follower waypoint so you know where the heck they're at, makes the game so much more immersive without all that 'oh you're getting spotted by some random plane or passing truck full of goons' rubbish that's plastered on the screen. The combat and game generally work just fine, you might just have to turn mission waypoints back on every so often to find out where to park a truck.

Skip ALL cutscenes. When a bullshit moment happens (the 'bliss bullets') that pulls you away, have a video or music or something ready on another screen or device to distract you from the utter arseness, lower in game volume and just run through the section as fast as possible so you can get back to actually doing something reasonable. Pay no attention to the story apart from incidental bits that might amuse or interest, don't do the endgame, it's fucking insulting. Make your own fun.

It really is an incredibly shit game, there is something there but you have to un-break as I've mentioned above in order to get the best out of it.


IMO etc etc

Yep, much nicer. Always play minus the HUD on every game possible. Makes things harder but worth it.

I've killed the first main dude, just saving people from a bunker. Then onto the second area I guess. I'm enjoying bits of it, other bits not so much.

How many games do you have on the go?

2 is and forever will be one of the finest games ever created.

The truth has been spoken and forever it shall be.

The AI is interesting in FC2.

I'm getting there with Faith, in the second zone. She's starting to get annoyed by me, which is encouraging. Few more missions/bases to attack, and I should be onto the big boss zone...

Was thinking of playing Ass Creed Od next, but think I might need a ubibreak before having the energy for another open worlder...

Far Cry 5 now down to £13 on PSN.  Worth a punt?

It's basically 3 & 4 again, in America. The America stuff isn't as good as if hoped though. But if you like an open worlder and haven't done one for a while then sure why not - it's a way off the best in the genre but it's fun enough.
