Far Cry 5

[Queeg]

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

Far Cry 4.  Everywhere you went, someone was being attacked by an eagle.  Literally every few minutes.  One of the dumbest, most annoying game mechanics ever.

Patches dialed that way down, in my playthrough -- still annoying, but not as prevalent.

You can expect the rabid weasel, though, if the game's history of badgers being unspeakable killing machines continues. The ones in FC4 could take down a wolfpack by themselves, and one of the side missions played into this spoof by saving a farm from being overrun by packs of badgers.

In Montana, those badgers might be WOLVERINES!!  :hide: :timeout: :wow:

Oh.

[JasonPratt]

What he currently does is look like hobo Mel Gibson in his final(?) film.

Which is awesome.

 The best part of Far Cry 4  for me was when an eagle dropped a deer from the sky, right in front of me. Really the only memorable thing from the game.

Overall I thought the game got a little repetitive, and the story kind of went off the rails when you got to the gladiator arena thing.  Never finished it.

Never finished it either.  Apart from the endless Steve Irwin animal fights, I hated the "kill the guy, but only left-handed with a shotgun" missions and the "run around frantically looking for the hidden cave opening before the one-minute timer expires" missions.  It was open world but not really. 

I'm in the minority of those who think Far Cry 2 was the best of the series.

You didn't have to play the goofy skill missions. Those were just for faster xp, and/or for slightly better loot. There were plenty of normal missions.

Meanwhile, moar betterer: FAR CRY: BLOOD DRAGON 2: THE WOLVERINE
