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.
Map and characters are beautiful.. But that is about it for me.
I have turned of music in settings but nethertheless i hear music everywhere. In the car on some camps everywhere. And the most annoying religious (obviously) music. I use a supressor on my rifle but it does not matter for the enemy when i stealth shoot 1. At least 2 trucks will come. The tanky guys you cannot kill with 2 or 3 headshot. You have to use your entire clip or perhaps 2. Killing wildlife is a whole clip.
You can't drive normally because everywhere enemy will spot you and will shoot.
Ingame voices are horrible and sound like a studio.
I think I will leave this game alone till some patches and updates have been implemented. Character does not have a voice just as in destiny2. I have played it for 5 hours now, but it does not have the fun as farcry4. I even think ghost recon wildlands is far better.
I just Liberated Dutch's Island at the beginning & heading to Fall's End - - being an animal fanatic, I'm picking up Boomer first on the way.
I'm LOVING this game!! The Cult concept, the structure of 3 different Family members running different areas, my crew as hostages... I love having a Specialist for hire w/ me. The map is awesome, graphics are beautiful.
The Ziplines & climbing the radio tower brought back so many great memories of FarCry3 in the jungle too. (I bought but still haven't played FC4 - got backlogged w/ work & too many other games).
So far no glitches that I'm aware of - but I'm disgusted at some of the really rude comments. I'm not surprised at it but it's obnoxious imo unless you have a totally game breaking experience & are raging about it.
FarCry is an awesome series. I'll have more to add as I play more today. Brilliant game so far!!
I've played around 12 hours or so and I am really impressed with this incarnation. Far Cry 4 was ok, just not much of a challenge. I really like games that require some amount of strategy without the "we'll just spawn enemies until you're dead, dead, dead mantra". If you want to be really picky you can always find short comings in any title.
mini map: It's a matter of opinion really, but in real life if you were out and about you would have to pull out a map. Sure toward the end of the game this might get tedious but so far I don't view this as much of a hindrance. I find it amusing sometimes where I am hiking thru an area and get distracted by gun fire or some other threat. The advantage to this is different game play. It's either that or you have a scripted game rather than sandbox.
The game is beautiful no doubt. Lots to do and see. Take your time to take it all in.
I think this incarnation of this series breathes new life into this title. It should be an instant classic? Ok maybe to soon to say classic.
For some reason every time I go to get in a vehicle I have this voice going off in my head saying "EAGLE ~ EAGLE".
Religious Music: I think they were going for 'realism'. A religious cult isn't going to play 'sinner' music. As you play the game it will become abundantly clear where the sinners are... just listen!
Gun for hire chit chat: This gets old as they tend to repeat the same thing over and over. But you can put an end to this by sending them on their way... so it's bearable.
All in all so far with roughly 12 hours of game play (single player no co-op or on line multiplayer): I give it 9 out of 10 stars.
I think they already confirmed the Dessert Eagle for Far Cry 6.Originally Posted by GeorgeFarCry96 Go to original post

Around 22h ingame, but most of the time exploring, so I am suffering from the to fast RESPAWN times a lot.
that should be really redone !
REALLY LOVE THAT MINI MAP is gone, because you now have to look at the landscape and not always starring on that stupid mini map ...
I always had to wait for the modders in the old FC games, that they deleted that damn mini map.
Also turned off that gps marking with guns, so have to put out my binoculars to find enemies or take boomer with me, even it is still unrealistic,
but it is okay, as it gives you the possibility to use different play style , scouting or to rush in.
Once again that chit chat is to often, as in all UBI Soft games, so you have heard eveything after 30min , stupid game design decision ...
Now it is not EAGLE EAGLE, but PUMA PUMA , once again to much , but seems that is the running joke from the devs :-)
Sad that in Co-Op the missions, which both players don't have, aren't carried over ... but prefer that you JOIN the game of the other player !
Also what needs some rework , is that I have the feeling that "inevitable" main quests , are not balanced, when they start,
seems to early and also HOW THEY start is terrible ... they catch you doesn't matter where you are ... should be better integrated,
like when you "die" they should catch you or make a "real trap" ... not like it is now, screen turns black .. you are caught , not very immersive !
Hope patches will fix some of the concerns
ANYWAY GREAT GAME for me and seems after FC3 , this will be the second one, which I will finish ... other 3 games, didn't caught my interest long enough to finish them !
