"Oh, we didnt think you would do that....

...wait, just because it is Far Cry you think you should be able to explore everywhere?!"
They have learned though, while for me none have recaptured the magic of the original, FC3, FC4 each got better and closer to its spirit.
Apart from doing its best to recreate the game Killing FC2 respawning enemies issue, FC5 has done a good job at maintaining that improvement, if missing out on key features already in the Ubi stable - Coop GRW is all I will say. Plus it looks absolutely stunning...
All of which I guess is off topic, so....

For those who play for fun through immersion, a nontalking lead is always a double-edged sword, the emphasis I guess being to invest your personality in the avatar, rather than have one thrust upon you.
Almost 2k NPCs can vouch for my investment, or they could if they were still breathing.
The Resist ending was magnificent, a piece of cinematic storytelling brilliance....but ultimately sucked the soul out of the game for me.
So much so that I am wondering more as to what Sam Fisher is up to in Bolivia rather than exploring more Arcade or DLC.
The last time I was left so empty by a game was with Bioshock Infinite....
DOH!
Maybe should have seen this coming.
]Please consider something like this for the game ending and new game plus that everyone is wanting. Add one ending that resembles the wrap up we got for defeating Faith, John and Jacob-. With that new (Positive) ending you can easily (story wise) roll into new game plus. Here is a sample way to do so.Spoiler: ShowThe Sheriff could say something like, "Good job rook, with your help we have defeated the bulk of the cult. Feel free to stay here with us and help us take down the remaining cultist outposts scattered across the region." At this point the player would go back into their game with any remaining side missions and outpost left to liberate and have the option of resetting outposts as is already in the game- then an option could come up like it is in Dark Souls 3 to start new game then or at any time later. A person could finish outposts, reset outposts until they are ready to hit new game plus in which case you would simply start the game anew with your achievements, weapons, etc intact- More perks, hardy enemies, extra challenges and the like would be welcome here.Spoiler: Show

I just finished the game tonight and I have to say that this ranks up there with some of the worst endings in a title that I have ever played. ....in one sense it made all of you accomplishments feel completely irrelevant. .....and after conquering all three provinces and gaining the upper hand, how did this guy suddenly capture all of your friends (converting most)? Why would your character be going in alone to confront him?
Personally, it feels like the ending was forced like a square peg in a round hole and makes little sense in regard to the progression your character had made up to that point. On top of the shallow weapon selection, odd weapon stats (in comparison to each other), AI quirks and forced capture sequences (just to name a few), this game has turned out to be a much bigger disappointment to me than I had originally anticipated.
I, like a lot of others, completely agree with you. I spent a lot of hours in FC5 and then to be let down like that in the end. Shame on Ubi.Originally Posted by Hidden-Gunman Go to original post
If only Ubi would do this, it would be great. Nice job with the alternate ending suggestion.Originally Posted by James4and8 Go to original post
Sir you are a genius, thank you for giving a way to replay this some what disappointing Far Cry.Originally Posted by mr_wilson1954 Go to original post
PLEASE don't thank me, ALL credit for my choices should go to DrBAMF123 and his thread here: https://forums.ubi.com/showthread.ph...D-THIS!)/page3Originally Posted by regauthority Go to original post
This. Totally removes any agency you the player think you might have. Other Far Cry games have had endings that have been a bit 'nobody really wins' but this utter twaddle takes it to a whole new and shiny level. If I could refund the entire damned game I would gladly do so, despite how nice the open world is.Originally Posted by Edgemoor Go to original post
