Hoping this isn't just some Battle Royale shit but we'll see

Another generic boring open world game?

Yawn

Lol

Please no

Okay.

5 was fun, but I don't really have strong feelings about the series one way or another. They are pretty much fast food of gaming; I don't expect anything, but they deliver some stylish, substance free, action.

We already have plenty of post apocalyptic games out there already, some great, some ok, others are terrible.

Far Cry does NOT need to go that direction, it is best as an island FPS or abandoned in the middle of no where fight to survive game like the series has been for years.

The most recent game FC 5 was not all that strong or good compared to FC 3 or 4 and the gameplay was dumbed down when they removed crafting gear. Instead of a fallout or Metro 2033 wannabe they should revamp the series like how they went from FC 2 to FC 3.

To be fair, only two of the 6 or so entries are set on an island.

So this will be their Blood Dragon for 5 then

I'd rather they do like a period piece type of thing, put me in the middle of an obscure warzone during the 60's or 70's. I felt like 5 didn't leave a lot of room for a chronological sequel

*yawn* open world game with guns

omg new and exciting

Far Apocalypse: American Cry Story: Horror
---

Yes I know but it is always a fight to survive in an strage place with few allies kinda game.

They're killing far cry

All of the season pass content was lacking. And this doesn't interest me at all

Which you can easily adapt to a post-apocalyptic setting.

There's two things to hope for here:

1) This ends up being similar in quality to Blood Dragon

2) If that's the case, it out-Fallouts Fallout and puts even more pressure on Bethesda to get their shit together

Far Cry 5 is the best game I can think of that was completely ruined by its ending

Yeah the message the game tries to send is the biggest pile of shit I have ever seen, the only way to win FC 5 is to get the secret ending at the begining which is literally a you win by not playing.

The idiots who made the endings should be fired and someone should have tossed the garbage endings out for endings that were worth playing for.

Considering we didn't get a proper Fallout entry this year, this could be fun. Why's it in vogue to hate on openworld games on CE now nosepass?

Because you can only release so many variations of the same game before it gets stale and repetitive

CE is almost entirely people hating on anything that does well or is popular by spewing out whatever hate circlejerk they can find on YouTube.

In the words of The Offspring, "It's cool to hate".

The worst part was it was copy/paste of Far Cry 4s message

This bums me out cause Far Cry 5 was the best mechanically. I was hoping they would try a jungle environment like Far Cry 2 with not bullshit mechanics.

Yes it could be but we already have plenty of those games, having FC be another one is kinda a waste, we dont need so many of those games.

Yeah as much as I liked FC5 I felt it committed a cardinal sin by not having at least one ending in which you emerge victorious. 3 endings and none of them let you kill the bad guy. What the fuck.

I liked the ending :\

I bet Ubisoft threw together a Fallout clone on the same engine in like 6 months just to try to capitalize on 76's failure

I gotta be honest, I hated nearly everything about Blood Dragon. I'm a long time fan of the series ever since the first one on PC, and BD is the only one I dislike.

I liked how ballsy it was, but I needed an ending that made me feel like I won

It didnt even copy FC 4 though since you can kill Pagan Min, and the two Golden Circle leaders. You also have the option of sparing 2 of the 3, FC 4 gives you more choices and still a better ending then FC 5 since you are able to kill any of the people that are the problem.

FC 5 doesnt even allow you to stop the cult in any way, your choices are: leave and come back, get brain washed, or the cult nutjob leader was right. None of those is acceptable when you get down to it and the message the game sends is : leave the cult alone, you cant stop them and should feel bad your trying to stop them.
---

The worst part was that the cult was *right*

Not just right but apparently God was on their side.

I'm honestly surprised it didn't get more flak for that shit.
---

My head canon is that I broke the cuffs, killed Joseph and walked outside to find it was a drug hallucination

And then I sold the idea to that movie dude and this game is that.
---

Being a raving loon at the right time does not mean he was right, the radio talks about tensions with the US and another country in the game. The cult was not even preparing for the same massive apocalypse that actually happens either wheb you look at what they say.

The cult leader literally just takes advantage of the nuke at the end, in no way did he forsee that shit or the cult would have preached a very different message.
---

I just loved how topical it was honestly. A lot of people in the modern world have become complacent about nuclear weapons even though they still pose a very, very real threat to our safety and the global community's safety. I like that you can hear about this outside conflict on the radios foreshadowing what is coming, and I like that you're screwed no matter what. Everyone wants to put it in the perspective of the player and player character and think "it's not fair that I didn't get to kill the cult and save the princess in the castle" but that's kind of the whole point - you're remaining oblivious to the greater dark shadow hanging over the world and the game is forcing you to confront that.

That's why I liked it so much. I could agree with the idea that there should have been one final option to kill or save Joseph at the end (maybe after the credits rolled), though.

he times it down to the second you try to apprehend him. he had the cult build underground fallout shelters. he knew it was coming down to the second man. the only way i can see them salvaging it is if in the new one, you figure out joseph had infiltrated the right ppl in all the nuclear-capable govts and forced the apocalypse. that's the only way, i think

The cult didn't build the fallout shelters - the ICBM silo and shelter infrastructure was already there.
---

The timing of it all was obviously for dramatic effect and was kind of cheesy. The rest of it, "they knew what was coming", I think was still a great thing. They knew what was coming because they were paying attention to global events and the warning signs. Some of those are also available to you as a player, especially if you listen to the radio.
---

The shelters and silos were not built by the cult though they were already there and the cult simply used them. Josephs brother was also ex military which is who probably learned about the nukes or kept some kind of intel on the situation.

The cult never said what the apocalyptic event would be either which does matter since anyone who wants to actually convince people would tell them what the event would be not remain vague.

Preachers saying the end is near do not get much publicity, but the people who were saying in 2012 an asteroid will destroy earth or something like that were given more attention.

@Hairistotle

If god was on his side Joseph would not be a murdering vicious piece of shit with a cult that tells people your with us or we kill you. Even a religous man would say that god would never support the shit Joseph did unless god is old testament version or satan, all the things the cult does in the name of religion are horrible things not at all what the bible supposedly tells people.

Had the cult been welcoming of everyone and actually looking to save people instead of create indoctrinated slaves that would be a god is on his side deal but what the cult does is weaponizing religion to suit their interests and crimes.

To be fair, God in Farcry might just be a total dick.

Can they just make a non-shit Watch Dogs 3?
---

Then both can go fuck themselves if that is the case, with that kind of god religion in Far Cry 5 can get fucked and so can all the people like Joseph.
---

I liked how Jason and Ajay could talk in FC 3 and 4, showed what they thought of things and made more sense then a silent character.

They need to implement dialog options in the next FC game or go back to voiced heroes cause FC 5a silent thing was another negative to the game.
---

Honestly the whole drug/hynotism aspect made the cult not make any sense to me. It's a doomsday cult. They're obviously not trying to save everyone, and brutally slaughter people who they determine are sinners, so what is the point drugging people into joining? They need actual believers to accomplish what they are doing
