Just finished the game. It was an absoulute beast of an experience! Loved having Both Boomer and Hurk as my Guns/Fangs for Hire and everything in it whether it be gameplay, gun mechanics etc all felt smooth and crisp. That being said, i have two and ONLY two things im a little disappointed with.
1st off, why is it that in any of your last four Far Cry games you never include a "New Game Plus"? I mean i know there's Co-op (and ive barely scratched the surface or Arcade yet). But when it comes to something like Far Cry i prefer to play through it with just myself, having the world to myself, wanting to go through it with everything unlocked and just to enjoy the story experience again and wreck utter havoc. I earned and used my perk points, bought the guns i wanted. Let me carry that over! And let's be serious here. Reseting and recapturing outposts can get stupidly dull and boring real quick :l. If i wanted to play with friends in co-op, i'd hop on Nazi Zombies on Call of Duty. BUT, that's just me and i do not speak for all who have finished the game or is still playing it.
And secondly (and since it's only been a couple of days since launch i will try hard not to spoil anything)......What in the frickity blue f*** is with your vague and ambiguous endings?! I know there needs to be layers to the story and in particular for the villain Joseph Seed (mind blowing villain AND amazing performance by Greg Bryk btw. Best since Vaas). But for once can we at least have a happy (or happyish) ending to all of this? Far Cry 3 was what it was (which was ok for me) and 4 was morally grey as f***. I mean can't there be some kind of good(ish) outcome out in 5?
This was something evil that me and my allies fought against and i think they deserved a helluva lot more than what they got in either endings (especially for someone like Nick Rye or Boomer) I mean, everything that my character has gone through and what my new found friends have gone through, just for it to go dowm the way it did? In my opinion, i think you guys definitely "Mass Effect 3'd" the ending. Felt like i big middle finger to my face.
Well, that's all i have to say. My apologies for making this so long (haha) and thank you for your time. Still another amazing title that i thoroughly enjoy digging into!
P.S. For the love of god could you let Boomer ride with you in the car?
