    loot crate / boxes , whatever you want to call them .. question

    Will this game have them from day one or will they be added to them in the future like you have sneakily done with Ghost Recon ?

    I am fed up to the back teeth of playing good AAA games now that are filled with these pay to win or cosmetic costume crates and am now trying to avoid giving money as much as possible to publishers that either have them in their games or add them post release as you have done in the past,

    I was just about to finally pick up GR Wild Lands and luckily read an article which informed me you had just added that rubbish to the game so I have decided to not buy that now ... and as FC 5 would have been a day one purchase for me under normal circumstances , I now find myself waiting and having to post questions like this before I purchase.

    So .. does Far Cry 5 have these at launch or will you be adding them after release as you have done with your last titles ??

    I wont be pre-purchasing this or buying on the day of release , gone are the days I blindly give AAA companies money , but am I going to be safe buying this a month or 2 after release or will you be pulling the same nonsense you did with Wild Lands.

    An honest up front reply would be nice.

    I have a large library of ubisoft games ,a number of which I have bought twice to play on PC and Xbox but I detest crates of any kind in the games I play now ... so as I said an upfront and honest reply would be nice so I know if I should now start passing on Ubisoft games.

    Cheers

    So there are many different rivers / lakes and some places have fishing contests - now that is a reason for me to do a little fishing, I wonder if I can use dynamite to win the contest.

    That'd be cool, but to me it looks like with the way the fishing mechanic works, it is actually casting the line that spawns the fish. I don't think the fish you catch are even being rendered in the lake or river before you cast your line in there...

    When I was in Iraq the last time; I reported the Iraqi Military for fishing with fragmentation grenades in a canal next to the Tigris. Neither my superiors, or theirs were amused. They were arrested by their officers, and summarily carted off to who knows what. If I catch you throwing dynamite in the pond..........................I'm reporting you too!

    BTW: It worked really good too; they had two 5 gal pails full of fish when the fun ended!
