Far Cry 5, Co-op play is not as advertised.
So my brother and I, specifically look for coop games to play together, we have played the whole series and we where super excited to hear we could play the whole campaign together.
Butb this isn't true...
The host player plays normally but the person joining well they get screwed. The game doesn't give the joiner credit for weapon unlocks, story progression, resistance points. Why is this bad? Because a bunch of game content is locked behind it. So as you play with a friend they unlock better guns, vehicles, even talents while the joiner is trying to keep up playing with stock gear and less talents.
The further the game progresses the worse it gets, bunch of needed talents locked behind taking down one of the Lts, don't get credit now you can't unlock the 4th holster or all the weapons locked behind required resistance points.
This utterly ruins the enjoyment of coop play and is just false advertisement cause you are nothing more then a controlled npc
Plenty of games out the make it work, there is no reason to not attribute map unlocks and story for the coop player if they are on that quest. Dead Island and Dying Light come to mind..
Extremely disappointed in this interpretation of coop play, as now I have to repay stuff I already played to get caught up with my brothers game.. cause you know how much gamers living being forced to replay content.
