    FAR CRY 5 ...not perfect but

    the best game i have ever played. And i am playing since Amiga 500 times (30 years with a couple of years paused)
    Let me explain a little bit. I prefer First Person Shooters and the FAR CRY series has the best type of choice how the Player moves/fights and interacts with the world.
    And the open world works fine. It is not to big and the AI is fantastic. For example the fights of the fractions without influence of the Player. I have a couple of examples but i am not able to explain because of my not perfect english. There is a permanently increasing of the possibilities (FAR CRY 3 - FAR CRY 4 (Gyrocopters) -FAR CRY 5 (Helicopters)to interact.


    FAR CRY 5 is a perfect step forward of the series. Why is Far Cry 5 the best game i have ever played?

    It 's a game with a freaky not perfect Story in the present which happens in North America.
    The open world looks fantastic (animals, Waterplanes, musclecars...USA, National Parks, Montana)
    It is a First Person shooter where i can choose to fly a helicopter (not official licensed) with rocket launchers or go by foot with a M-16.
    The Season Pass includes FAR CRY 3 classic and the DLCs which are fun to play.
    The Arcade section features classic multiplayer as well as an editor with remakes of classic GOLDENEYE levels for example.

    The Marketing is great. From the iconic logo of the Seed family to the collectors editions (Deer Skull, Vinyl Soundtrack, etc...) it works fine.
    I can not forget "the Baptism" Live Action Trailer. It is the best Live Action Trailer i have ever seen,

    That is Art. Far Cry 5 is a digital artwork.


    The only things i don't like ..
    is the choice of weapons (where is the M4?? it is on the SEED Logo) It's not enough.
    And how the weapon is displayed. It should be displayed like in FAR CRY 3 and 4 ….bigger in my opinion.

    Thank you for this piece of digital art.

    Not perfect??? But how many perfect games you know? Name at least one game! And weapons are enough in the game. Enough for rural Montana. Even overdose! I think in the future better to avoid unrealistic weapons or outdated weapons from WW1 or WW2. Avoid bows, crossbows......Fight with bow in 21 century is not normal. Using a bow as a weapon in the game should be somehow proven by story. Every unrealistic weapon must have its proof! Story! Why it is in the game! The idea - the more weapons the better - is so childish. Overdose of weapons ruins immersion only! But developers have bigger problem - how to make the game fan and immersive at the same time! Too much fan will spoil immersion - too much immersion will spoil fan. Developers should define for themselves - what is fan? Fan - has many faces, and possibility to use different types of weapons is one of them. But how to find that golden mean??? I think so......every weapon in the game should be in its place. Its using in the game should be proven by game story. Proven by setting of the game. "Exotic" weapons also may be, just for fan and laugh......but better not to overdo with it. Otherwise there is a risk of losing adult gamers! Far Cry as only a super fan and childish charade will push away adults.

    By the way.......as for additional types of enemies.....or if you will develop a game or dlc connecting with sci-fi, something like this may be used......

    I agree. I've been gaming ever since the Commodore Vic20! And FC5 is easily the most fun game I've ever played.

    Sure, it's full of flaws and glitches, but that doesn't detract from the FUN!


    Edit: Although I would appreciate the next FC to not have missions that involve collecting testicles, or searching through spicy dogsh*t.

    It's the only Farcry I've ever been able to play more than two hours and actually finish it,so they did something different here.
    I think it's the AI companions who made everything more enjoyable.You always find one with different abilities and dialogue.
    You're never alone in this game.

    This is yes. I like especially, as a weapon jammed.

    Yes. And this is important feature . What one man can do against so many enemies?! Like good english proverb says - "One man - no man!". So, in the next game, we should have our squad. Battle squad. Guerilla unit. It will be like our family. Someone quarrel, someone getting married......everyone has its own character, everyone has certain military skills....What a space for creativity for developers! We are family. One for all and all for one. We are freedom fighters. We are not robbing banks and stealing cars .....we are not robbers and thieves....like in GTA. We are fighting for freedom! We are liberating the oppressed. Money - is not our God. Individualism, lust of money, personal gain at all costs - is not about Far Cry. Mutual aid and help, self-sacrifice for friends - this is about Far Cry! ( Far Cry 5 was blamed by some people as promoting liberal agenda....Far Cry 6 will be blamed, in that case, as promoting marxism agenda )

    This Farcry 5 is much better than the other game. It's really good and cool. The other Farcry in the series were not so interesting, I don't think anyone has loved the other farcry as much as this Farcry 5. I was not sure of getting it first, but then my friend suggested it and also read some amazing comments, so thought of giving it a try. Got it on discount at a cool price from this site here. I'm really enjoying this game very much.
