Hurk

as a gun for hire I had the difficulty set to "Easy" for whatever reason Currently playing at hard. Oh, I managed to replicate myself, minus the glasses

Well, I went to town and purchased the PS4 version - installed it and am now doing the mandatory update

[LowPolyOWG]

Soo, the videos convinced you to buy it?

Anyway, some more screenies:

Somehow, I got stuck in a broken wall...

To get money/skill points easy, you need to kill animals and do the simple challenges (kills/takedowns) as I showed in the video.

It feels quite like a traditional Far Cry, but some tweaks to make it "new". Best way to kill animals is using the bait mechanic

Your vid even captured a steam chat with Binnatics.

I had watched MKIceAndFire (youtuber) play this for around 50 minutes (that's when I really had seen enough) and then I watched your vid here until that grizzly bear was mentioned.

This game definitely isn't what I would like to play, and I say that unrelated to UBI*bleep*. I spare you the details why I don't like it, it would already fill pages.

OK guys, anyway, I hope that you're going to enjoy the game and that you're going to have loads of fun with your new FC5

Thx

Weapon Customization. I bought the "Prestige" M79. Note that animal skins are quite valuable now. So get the larger loot bag and the "King of the Jungle" perk.

Exploring Faith's region after liberating Hope County Jail

Destroying the statue with a helicopter


Off-screen I completed her region and, well

Spoiler

had to do a bloody drug tripping boss fight with her

However, the Henbane Region stopped spawning the hallucinations you can see in my video. Animals also started to spawn more frequently. I haven't maxed my health yet, as I get downed by the enemies. A lot... Killing any of the Heralds allows you to equip a 4th weapon. Which is stupid, why would the game designers do that?

Currently trying to figure out where I go next. The game is definitely enjoyable, althought be warned of the Bliss in Henbane River.

I haven't watched your vids because I kinda want to keep the spoilers to a minimum for this game. But I did wander into Faith's zone by accident, and yep, drug trips galore. It is a Far Cry game, so I guess we expect that now?

[LowPolyOWG]

Ah I see. Yeah, at least I decided to do that region first

[PZ]

Good adventures GKID 

Too bad about the drug and boss "features" - those (and the overly vicious animals) were the main reasons I did not complete the prior two games 

I suspect this one will be the same - I'll play some parts of it, get bored, and move on to something else 

[LowPolyOWG]

Actually, animal attacks are infrequent now, I have only encountered 2 eagles as I played through the game. The expanded Guns For Hire mechanic is cool.

[PZ]

That's good to hear - did the eagles attack you?

[LowPolyOWG]

Yes, but  my Guns For Hire killed them before I could react I grabbed Hurk, his Carl Gustav is quite effective into wrecking *bleep* and cultists at the same time

Found this little hunting tip 

Still, I think using a bow is more time efficient.

[fragger]

Oh no - drugs and eagles? Damn, the two things I hated most in FC4...

Honestly, why do UBI*bleep* devs have such an infatuation with hallucinogenics escapades? Or, why does the Far Cry franchise have to be synonymous with drug trips?

And as for @#$%& microtransactions... At least it looks like you can get the goodies the grindy way, but still, UBI*bleep* has done a dirty there in my book.

I dunno... I'm starting to think this might be a bargain-bin game for me, if that. I haven't come across anything yet that has lit my fire for this game (I don't mean just from what you guys have reported, but from anywhere).

[Art Blade]

that kind of reflects my thoughts, really. But I already scratched those bastards from my list and I don't even feel bad about it
