Far Cry 5

Well, I hadn't followed the link in the OPs post because I thought it was the link I had seen the other day which was just a "coming soon" video.

After seeing the video in the link, it has jumped to guaranteed day one purchase. Though it'll be 50 bolts, I'm sure it'll be money well spent - I love a game with a good story.

If it's as solid as Far Cry 3's story it'll be worth it.  Same reason I loved the System Shock and Bioshock games.  Just a solid narrative.

I got into FC4's story as much as FC3, if not moreso because of the more sympathetic player character being slowly compromised in his morality about the no-good choices. I didn't find the political situation confusing at all (although worth noting that the supernatural vision quests were developed by an entirely different group. I got quickly annoyed with those, simply because they couldn't be anything other than a watered down glossed up experience. There should have been maybe three or four instead of seven of them.)

Alpaca's? Hindu police states?? I've been missing out.

Bioshock games had a solid narrative? :P

   Even Fry Cry Zero and Three (I skipped 2 and 4) had their moments.  You should at least visit 3 and consider seriously playing 4 or 5, I think.

5 is now firmly in my sites. I didn't know there were so many spinoff games.

What's Far Cry Zero? do you mean the first game?

[MikeGER]

Of course. I meant offensive to white, Christian, conservative males. RPS is going to love this game! I heard they already have their WOT ready and they have rated it as the best game not made yet.

....no wonder it was announced on starting day of Ramadan  :o

I think he meant FC Primal.

And they're not even the best part!

The best part, as my nieces and Bro can testify, is flying the little grasshopper helicopters scattered around the map (held together with colorful duct tape), and then bombing enemies on the ground with a hand-held grenade launcher.

...that, or maybe the extended alternate campaign where you recover a base in the Himalayas and build up its defenses again while trying to keep from being murdered by yetis.

I meant the first game.  It had no number.

Looks like a lot of fun to me. I can't wait til they get around to poking fun at me and my fellow Swedes and Norwegians up here in the great white north. I can't wait to hear all of the accents, ala "Fargo".

I just hope they dispense with the idiotic game mechanic where you get attacked by an eagle every two minutes.  They'll probably just substitute a rabid weasel or something.

Which game was that? Far Cry Primal?

Sounds like the infamous Cliff Racers from Morrowind :P
