| pres_madagascar 07/17/20 12:20:54 AM #28 | RedJackson posted... Wait, really? I've only played 5 >_>Ya lol, every game in the series does that. 2 was the most severe because everything respawns every time you rest. Also, the whole series is on sale on all platforms right now. On console, 3 is $3, 4 is $6, and 5 is $8. Primal is $6 too I believe. --- |

| pres_madagascar 07/16/20 11:41:28 PM #26 | Also, in 5, you can have two companions out at the same time. The best are the sniper chick to the southwest of the map, peaches the mountain lion, cheeseburger the grizzly bear, and nick the pilot. If you like stealth, the mountain lion is your bottom bitch. If you like action, the bear is a literal tank in the MMO sense, drawing all the attention. --- |

| pres_madagascar 07/16/20 11:40:45 AM #14 | Hexenherz posted... I don't know if I'd say it's the most polished with regards to the gameplay. It has a smaller gun arsenal, and the AI is pretty stupid to the point where you can still 100% stealth an outpost by just running around with a silenced gun, since half the time the enemy runs to cover and "can't see you" even when you're breathing on them lol.I meant polished as in less clunky. 3 and 4 always felt kinda clunky, though I still enjoyed them a shit load. 5 just felt "smoother" to play, especially the driving. --- |

| pres_madagascar 07/16/20 11:39:13 AM #49 | viewmaster_pi posted... how can someone feel this personally wounded on behalf of far cry 5Especially since from an actual gameplay standpoint, 5 is just 4 with more stuff and more polish, but way more railroading. 3 is extremely barebones compared to 4 and 5. I actually like all three though. --- |

| pres_madagascar 07/16/20 11:36:34 AM #10 | DarkRoast posted... I've heard that the biggest problem with FC5 is that it's almost too hands-off in terms of progression, even compared to FC4 and FC3.Because they quite literally force you into a lot of story sections. They will straight up knock you out when not in another story mission whilst just out in the world, and you cannot stop it. Probsbly the games biggest complaint. From an actual gameplay polish and breadth standpoint, it's arguably the best in the series. It is absolutely worth that much money. For all their complaints, 3, 4, and 5 are all fun games for the right price. --- |

| pres_madagascar 07/16/20 11:33:20 AM #65 | DarkRoast posted... There's a tendency to compare RotTR to Uncharted 2, because there's a lot of thematic similarities, but IMO unlike Uncharted 2, the first TR (reboot series) was better.Ya, rise meandered entirely too much and grows dull fast. --- |

| pres_madagascar 07/16/20 7:32:08 AM #1 | Famitsu gave it a perfect score for instance. All the reviews are saying it's portrayal of Japan is faithful and the accuracy of its setting and language and its main character are also faithful. They haven't had a single negative thing to say about how the western dev portrays Japan, the language, and it's people. They're saying the same general things as western reviewers are in regards to gameplay and such though. Reviews are all over the place for this game. Some find it meh, some find it outstanding. --- |

| pres_madagascar 07/15/20 12:27:05 PM #61 | Tbqh, I hate the tomb raider reboot games in a lot of ways. They felt like weird torture porn like the hostel movies and shit. Like, there's more ways and visual displays of Laura getting killed, hurt, or assaulted than there are any other animations in the game. The games really did feel more like an even more formulaic uncharted series, and that series already was ridiculously formulaic with ass combat. --- |

| pres_madagascar 07/10/20 10:36:19 PM #22 | specialkid8 posted... Farcry 3 is the definition of generic Ubisoft game. 4 and 5 share the same overall formula but have some extra bells and whistles that give them both the edge. None of them are worth more than $20 and they still don't hold a candle to 2. 3 was bland when it came out and people fawning over it only gets worse with age.People have preferences 2 is my favorite, but I still prefer 3 over 4 and 5. Setting and atmosphere play a big part of that for me. The only thing 4 did better for me is gyrocopters. 5 runs like absolute ass on consoles, with horrid framerste when airborne. Also, literally every ubisoft game made since far cry 3 has had the exact same formula. --- |

It was fun when it came out but after 4 and 5 there's no reason to think it's superior in any way.Nah. I just recently replayed 4 and 5, and am now doing 3 again, I still prefer 3. I really didn't care for the environment in 4 at all, that's all. Functionally, 3 and 4 are near identical games. --- |
