Far Cry 5 pros and cons after 1 day of play. Agree or disagree?
Ok everyone, after a whole day of putting straight hours into the campagin and getting a feel for everything. I have a list of epic things and cons I have. All and all the game is amazing and the cons are so minor they don't really make the gameplay unplayable.
Pros
1. The graphics are gorgeous, even better than I thought they'd be. Everything is visually stunning. It puts every other FC game to rest. The shading and textures are well handled for such an open map.
2. The map is huge! And beautiful. I mean the water bodies, the mountains, open road. It's very amazing as always with far cry.
3. The characters thus far are amazing. Boomer was overated in the trailers but Jess is a complete badass.
4. Joseph seed is barely trailing Vaas as my favorite far cry villain of all time. He's just beyond deep and dark as a antagonist should be.
5. Fly Fishing is fun
6. The cars handle way more realistically than other entries.
7. Their is alot to see and do with the prepper stashe's and side quests.
8. SPAS-12
9. Airel fighting, helicopters, planes.
10. Stealth missions are abundant and experly done
Cons.
1. No knife takedowns.
2. AI are too similar and too many repeating AI models. I get you can't have a new AI approach you every time but literally the 3 different enemies you face are Black haired bearded dude with tan colored long sleeve shirt that looks like my alcoholic uncle that everyone hates. The guy with the red ski mask on that typically wears a bullet proof vest and of course the red neck chick that always talks smack. Out of those 3. I almsot never see any other enemy AI unless it's the flamethrower guy or the special characters. I wish their were at least 10-20 different common enemy AI
3. No dessert eagle
4. No mini map. (I knew it'd be annoying to get rid of it. Everyone here talked about how "immersive" it was and to give it a chance. I found myself hopelessly going to the pause menu hoping to turn it on. It should have been an option. It's just tedious opening up the main map whenever I want to find something near by. The mini map was amazing in the others. but i'll live.
All and all i'm beyond impressed. This may be the best Far Cry or second best behind 3 and that's saying alot as I love the franchise. The characters are really getting me fond of the game and story.
