Far Cry 6 and Far Cry series

I saw vid that mentions there is much hostile AI around - up to the point where the reviewer had trouble getting conversations done with NPCs.

Ah found the thread!

So I've played 3, Blood Dragon, 4, Primal and now into 5.

It's fairly formulaic no brainer potter about and blow shit up and shoot stuff. Just what I need at the moment tbh. The AI is dumb, but the comedy ragdolling and over the top driving like a loon is just as fun as ever.

And who needs honey badgers when Turkeys are OP as fuck! The dialogue amongst the NPCs is at times very rude and just bloody hilarious.

I'm not that interested in the story yet, and I've only unlocked the dog, but i'm looking forward to unlocking the other specialists. But there is so much to DO that its easy to get distracted and just wander off to another incident.

I bought the Gold edition so that I get the DLC, but also looking forward to being able to play FC3 on the PS4. The first part of FC3 is brilliant. I wish'd redo Blood Dragon for the PS4, I had such fun in that!!!
I haven't tried the Arcade thing yet but it looks like it could be fun.

Only problem I've had is with the vehicles. The R2 to accelerate isn't working (but its good you have the option to change the controller layout for each mode) so I'm not sure if its a bug, or an issue with the R3 trigger (I've already replaced it once); except it works fine for shooting so I don't know.


As for concerns people have:
I think there is less grind for stuff for crafting, and there is shitloads of ammo, cash and weapons just lying around. possibly too much. I can't remember what difficulty I selected, if I did at all, but it seems very easy atm 
For levelling up skills, its all challenge based and they are dead easy (e.g. 100 kills; two turkeys skinned etc): although I still haven't got the foggiest how to fish properly, despite on-screen instructions. (this is probably a nice mini-game actually)
Hostage situations and convoy-type incidences are common, but it's fine to ignore them. 

I suggest checking up gameplay on Twitch or YT and decide whether you like it or not?   I've looked up a few reviews for FC5 and they were gushing about how good it is but I know I'm not getting it just by watching some gameplay, some bits here and there on the story, on Twitch.

^ I kind of expect that excellent rating from you.     I'm just goofing. I'm interested to hear some discussion on the story / ending from those have played the game.

P.S.

A lot of people are talking about it. Many seem to have disliked it. Personally

Alright didn't play the game, I probably won't given I have looked at the prevalent information now. It in my eye suffers from too much of the "Spec Ops The Line" sickness. A game of self depreciating moralization.

A game that buys into it's own bullshit and expects you to as well to enjoy it.

But that's not enjoyable to me. Also like spec ops it's plot loses the moral high ground six seconds in and like spec ops it just keeps whining despite it.

... I'm glad they included Hurk though.

Good call back.

I'm afraid it is.

People already finished the game? Damn is really that short or did you skip a lot of quests?

It was a solid 25 hours for me, and I admit I did skip on several quests, mostly because I found out you can get a lot of money grinding them after you free each region in the game.

Also because I am doing a writing project on it now, next time around i'm taking my time through it all.

I'm kind of set on the following at this point, as it makes the most narrative sense to me.
