[@TheGreatGambini]

This is the first review that properly addressed the fact you can’t go 50ft without EVERYTHING trying to kill you: infinite patrols, bears on fire, enemies spawning behind you... it’s just ridiculously chaotic. Great review. Subscribed.

[@JohnDoe-pu5gk]

Seems like it was too much of a challenge for you.

[@MichaelJ44]

@@JohnDoe-pu5gk No it’s just tedious

[@007ptb007]

Its brilliant coop, and even in coop you can still have an A.I. companion , getting them to fo the flying or driving is excellent

[@velvetinedrapes4359]

@@JohnDoe-pu5gk its tiresome. I doubt you have much influence over the ubisoft team but please pass on the message from the players. It gets tiresome. Space it out a bit or change the modifiers and the code so its a bit more randomised

[@imlikeyouihavenoname7038]

I miss when Far Cry was more about survival. I feel like it's just over the top Hollywood action now. I'm sure it's still fun, but I fell in love with Far Cry back in FC2 & 3, where you were in a dangerous place, mostly alone, vastly outnumbered, and a few bullets could end you if you couldn't find cover and heal up. I'll probably still pick this up when it's on sale, but Far Cry still feels so different now.

[@jeeteebee1111]

I'm like you, I have no name FC2 the best!!!

[@AFarCryAway]

I am 100% with you on this!

[@Kwazy-mojo]

Early to mid game on hard is still punishing for the unprepared. Not as lethal as far cry 2 though. Needless to say nothing in this far cry is as lethal as the trigen.

[@AFarCryAway]

Just hearing Trigen triggers some post traumatic stress in me xD

[@raresmacovei8382]

FC1 and 2? Yeah, they're brutally hard. FC3? It's a walk in the park.

[@WorthABuyreviews]

Pretty much the first review I have seen where the reviewer actually plays the game without X-Ray vision turned on or tags which I think makes the game way too easy and boring. So if you do buys this game, turn all the aids off, it's way better.

Game's a TON of fun. I'm already 20 hours in and loving it. Mack, turn of that detection indicator too. It helps a lot

[@warriorchiefmussolini706]

A lot has changed in two years people tend to tell honest things about the games they're playing so this game sucks the open world ends after beating the game there's no enemy it's just the same Outpost to take over, besides that what about the flying plane noise that's in your game no matter what anybody says it's in everybody's game what about that annoying plane that constantly sees you through walls, what about the enemies that constantly see through walls what about the fact that half the time you go to do stealth it makes everybody else know exactly where you are very fakefully what about taking out knife kills what about taking out water animals what about halfway through the story you're constantly ripped out or chased by a helicopter until you beat the game and then after you beat the game you're followed by the same f****** plane noise except this time it just circles you... So maybe it's better if I were to tell people what is in their game and what will be in their game this is not by opinion this is documented fact... Safe to say far cry 5 is a money hungry piece of crap game Oh yeah don't forget to tell people that it cost $250 to get one medical kit when you'll take over and hold Outpost and only get $250 from the safe So no more manual healing no more picking plants to make herbs so you can save money none of that this game is malarkey..

[@FreakTimmah]

Thanks for the tip about turning off enemy tags and x-ray vision! I didn't know you could do that with this game and it makes it much more fun. When you know where everyone is it becomes very mechanical and sucks all the tension out of the experience.

[@walkercal.5833]

Actually that Red Dawn idea is great, especially for a FarCry game!

[@CAP198462]

Walker Cal. Wasn’t that called Homefront?

[@holdthemayo7836]

I say make the protagonist Canadian who has to take out all the yanks who invaded for our water. Health regen from Tim Horton's coffee and melee with hockey sticks.

[@FreakTimmah]

Homefront 2 actually kind of made sense. It was Korea in the near future who had become a tech giant. They lead the world in military technology and sold to the United States. So when they invaded they just turned off all our equipment. The premise was solid enough, the real problem was the awful characters and grind repetitive game play. A red dawn game set in 1984 with Farcry mechanics would be amazing.

[@ginsu3396]

It's a fictional Asian super-power that invades a crippled US in an alternative time-line where the first world has gone to shit. Greater Korean Republic is the name, made up of Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Philippines etc. And the Republic sends troops that originate from North Korean military who absolutely hate the US and commit various atrocities etc. Makes much more sense if you read into the lore, but the game was marketed as if just North Korea in our reality tried to invade.

[@profezzorBALTAZAR]

We got new dawn🙈

[@DrearierSpider1]

Far Cry games are usually kinda tedious for me, but the setting is really interesting on this one so I may grab it on the cheap later on.

[@kpman644]

DrearierSpider1 I'll be honest though. FC3 does have a more interesting setting. But this is definitely kinda a wait til it's on sale if you're on the fence

[@DrearierSpider1]

Kevin O'Riordan Nah, between the original Far Cry and Crysis the island thing had been done to death by the time we got FC3. Montana is way more interesting to me.

[@illuminated1158]

I feel the same way about the farcry franchise but this one has a way more instresting world imo, and everything feels soo polished. I would highly recommend, I felt the same way as you but I took the leap and I really don't regret it. Turn off the hud put it on hardcore and I think this one will get you gripped.

[@douweevenhuis9812]

yeah after playing far cry 3 and 4 i was pretty much done, they are all the same in some way

[@DrearierSpider1]

Douwe Evenhuis I only played 10 or so hours of 3, and skipped everything since. It's a fun time while it lasts, but gets old quick. This one seems like a good buy at $10-15.

[@LoopyLongplays]

That clip at 3:55 was hilarious car after car, oh they died send another in lol. It would have been better if it was a big convoy like mad max. Gunplay does look good, but the bad AI doesn't surprise me. Overall I'm not really a far cry fan, 3 was fun but just not my game. Good review though.

[@bluesrocker91]

I found the same problem with Far Cry Primal... Every few feet there was another enemy encounter. After a while it just became annoying having to stop every 20 seconds to twat another dingo, or take out the exact same enemy patrol over and over again.

[@dimitre316]

When you're closer to the town they come in 3 waves. It gets so annoying after a while.

[@okwhatever4852]

And not to mention it looks absolutely nothing like the real world. Gta 5 was probably the closest any game has been to real life, not visuals but the actual world. It felt like you were actually in California.

[@Biojack222]

New game plus insane difficulty is honestly the way to play.

[@sten2897]

I'm actually relieved to hear there is no crafting. In all my FC playthroughs I've ended up spending too much time overgathering instead of gunplay, which felt like busywork. I will have to wait and see if the perk system is an adequate replacement.

[@WorthABuyreviews]

Summary It's a typical Far cry game with some improvements but also some glaring issues. For me I miss the crafting from FC3, it made me feel like I was living off the land, it was not like the horrible grind of ACO which tbh was simply to tempt you to buy mats from the cash shop! FC5 uses the perk system to give you larger bags etc which I just flat out hate. The world is big and open and made me want to walk around it more than drive or fly, the whole ambience is great especially when you hear the distant talking or music of the cult, so damn good. Combat wise it's great, the gun play is amazing with a deep thwack followed by rag doll over the top dying which never gets old. The big issue is the sometimes terrible Ai and way too many incidents happening on the road with enemies re spawning at a stupid rate. Many lefties are upset that Ubisoft did not turn this game into a white Christian, Trump, right wing extravaganza and am very happy about that. The cult are clearly not Christians, the game makes this perfectly clear a number of times and also has black members in it's ranks. All this has upset the left wing extremists and am very happy every time that happens, hate is hate at the end of the day no matter which side it belongs, left or right. It's a fun game with loads to do and is best served without the tagging and xray vision which can be turned off in the options, it's well worth a buy despite it's flaws due to the huge amount of fun you have playing it. Streams will be coming soon, link in description, also it's on special on Greenman gaming, click the link in the description to take you there and also support the channel, cheers.

[@Tobikaj]

They aren't christians? I thought they were (and I couldn't care less). Baptisms, last supper cover, "Lord giveth/taketh" quotes etc. Anyway, remember you can get 20% discount with 100 of those Ubisoft coins.

[@ferglife8536]

Just purchased using your link! :) Thanks for the great review.

[@Janjibro66]

Mack you couldn't be any more of an honest upstanding dude. You're an intelligent fuck and that's why you're not a god damn liberal. Being liberal just says it all. I refuse to hate liberals unlees they reaaaaaaally ask for it because I feel if I just completely disregard them based on that fact alone, I'm stooping to their level. But I do not mind speaking the truth about liberals: they're either very stupid, easily brainwashed, or intentionally ignorant as fuck. Anywho, the liberals are definitely the ones that go out and buy the next COD every year? Ya feel me? You really do see similarities between liberals and cod fanboys it's quite funny> Liberals always buy into the corporate lies from the media... Cod fanboys always buy into cheap marketing tactics and buy the exact same COD game every year with a new coat of paint. Neither the liberal or the COD fanboy ever realizes they're getting fucked. And in fact, they'll continously bend over backwards in defense of the one thats fuckin them. Liberals are enabling corporations to destroy our political system. COD fanboys are enabling corporations to destroy gaming. I can go on and on. lol

[@YeOldeGabe]

I believe they are Christians but with different beliefs instead of the classic Protestant or Catholic in it, cause they talk about God etcetera, and call the main villain the Prophet and his followers the disciples. Much like how Islam called Mohammed it's prophet and Jesus to the Christian Catholics, Orthodox and the Protestants. Their music are also like the most Christian thing ever but worshipping the Seed Family as their prophets from God.

I've played this game a lot (had to go in and deselect half the stuff as it was all auto-tagging, enemy tagging, waypoint tagging, etc, etc, but I've NEVER done a microtransaction.

[@jessedoyle1446]

So glad to see you're still doing reviews Mac! Great review, too!

[@M4lkavian]

Whilst FarCry 5 doesn't have a "bad guy" as good as Vaas, overall, it is a superior game. Needs half a dozen patches though.

[@VegaMyster]

I agree, Far Cry 3's world was quite empty, the focus on natural exploration in world that feels handcrafted with lots of side stories even if they're on the short side made it overall a more enjoyable experience. Biggest issue for me is the Ai, if they turn down the encounter rates by 50-70% on the main roads it would make it much better.

Thanks for great and timely review Mack. Very informative. The punching of people in the face sold it to me. Its a good thing that you can dial down all the UI stuff and the coop side seems very interesting, shame about the lack of cross-coop progress, which Wildlands nailed. Will get this, on sale though! Still haven't finished Far Cry 4!

[@clauricaune]

LOL, I hated the crafting in past games. Get 5 komodo dragon skins and 2 albino crocs to get a new wallet. Come on...

[@spasmmcspasm]

I wasn't a big fan of the crafting but I gotta say now it's gone I kinda miss it and the tower climbing for that matter. If you are going to gut things from a game it would be nice to add something new to fill it out again, that's where it falls short imo. That and the fact the AI just stand there and let you shoot them, even on hard.

[@CHURCHISAWESUM]

Pretty fucking kickass wallet to be fair

[@vladimirdan1959]

You don't get everything on the get go. It's just that, instead of hunting a gazillion animals to craft new bags, you earn perk points through challenges, which you can spend on inventory space, skills and other stuff.

[@C0T0HA]

I can't play Far Cry anymore. The AI being so blind and deaf is such a stark contrast with Far Cry 2's AI that I just get bored, even with all the content added. Loved Far Cry 3, loved Blood Dragon, but it's all the same game from then on. FC2 remains the best, even with its lack of content

[@shadowfoxgaming6657]

C0T0HA finnaly someone sees the bullshit I even got farcry 2 for 3 $ on steam the fire and ai is super and the revival mechanisms and gun gameplay and that think on your feet flight or die feeling in infamous difficulty with no hand holding and actually using a map I never gave farcry 3 a chance since they tonded it down in my eyes after 2 Farcry needs a new scenario like farcry 2 gameplay wise your exactly right they been the same since 3

[@C0T0HA]

Been sticking to this opinion ever since FC2's release. A diamond in the rough that game, will never get tired of replaying it. Its lack of content and mission monotony is compensated with the sheer unpredictability of every gunfight and the rewarding feeling of beating impossible odds. I would recommend you try Blood Dragon though, it doesn't take itself seriously and puts the fun factor to the extreme. These are the two opposite points of the franchise, and to me both are the best.

[@C0T0HA]

The thing with FC1 is that AI was borderline cheating there, it wasn't a balanced system and you couldn't fool them once spotted, which sometimes happened through solid objects

[@eddebrock]

[@Outplayedqt]

I love the game and like it lots more than you do Mack, but you’re absolutely spot on with how annoying enemy density is in the world. You say 2 minutes but I can’t go more than 30 seconds driving down a paved road without running into an enemy patrol vehicle, road block, or an enemy hostage situation. It’s forced me to turn the game down to Normal difficulty because I just keep getting downed left and right from these groups and the reinforcements they usually are able to summon. Still more enjoyable to me than FC3/4 though because of the sheer amount of combat variety and overall polish.

Looks a wee bit werd tbh. After being in foreign areas in the other games for so long. Seeing this settings just looks off. I'll probably wait a bit though. Heard about enemy spawns being sucky, and watching how you were descended upon car after car is a bit of a turn off.

[@JeremyComans]

Far Cry 3 is a mishmash of the Asia-Pacific region, so it felt pretty familiar to me. More violence than most my holidays, though. I went to the US for the second time recently, to rural Kansas (first was just NYC for work), and I was really reminded of Far Cry 5's Montana, in details of the small town America setting, so I guess they did a pretty good job with that.

[@sudd3660]

But still they could have done better than "Kill 10 enemies with melee"

[@Mike-fl3cd]

Wow, a AAA game that I've looked forward to ACTUALLY gets the thumbs up?! This is a rare gem indeed.

[@RudeGuyGames]

Good thing you're not in charge of the nuclear arsenal, then.

[@pd6192]

Michael Birdsall far cry needs a change anyway. A huge giant city like Los Santos from gta would be really cool. It has a lot of potential too with a new engine and everything. The animals are gonna be an issue tho

[@maxhudson8629]

Cyborg Taco "A Far Cry From Civilization"

[@curtisdh4269]

Hey Mack when you do your reviews can you show us a settings menu, I just personally like to see the customisability of the controls graphics etc.

[@alexsandwichmateo3849]

Awesome and hilarious review as always! I love that the first hour was spent hitting people in the head with a shovel, sounds like something I would do.

[@littlestan6625]

13:12 Mack straight throat punched that chick

[@yukowl]

Cant cope playing against bad AI

[@demgphix]

Love the new thumb up menu at the end, and still love the song :)

[@samw2670]

Lol funny timing when you said “hammered” and the truck went straight into you

[@AussieOutlaw]

A Game for Teenagers

[@mugatu8732]

yes.. when u play it with basic settings.

[@jprice_]

99,5% of all big games are aimed at teenagers..

[@Spicypuff]

So im guessing you hate fun then.

[@AussieOutlaw]

You are spot on , average gamer age in AUS is around 35 also . It's just that the SQWARKING Kiddies , Scream loudest , they have no Money and believe gaming is done on a Console LMFAO . When our GPU's cost more than their entire Consoles

[@AussieOutlaw]

Don't get me wrong mate , we have PS 1 x 2, 2, 3 x 2, 4 x 3 , Xbox Orig and 360 , NES , NIN 64 x 2 and 4 Gaming Pc's in our Arcade Room , that said any serious Gaming is done on the PC's

[@stevet7223]

My favorite in games is when you have a shotgun that fires both its chambers at once. One because it is tribute to doom and because feels great.

[@TheDarkblue57]

FunnyFez 96 What about when you shoot one shell but the reload animation puts two in the chambers.AARAGHHHHH!

[@Thrashie]

For me that lasted till the super shotgun in Q2.. which in turn got replaced by the Spas12 in Vice City

[@yjon34]

Mac you make me laugh so much man XD love the review as always man you’re a legend

[@YaBoiJessy]

I've been waiting for this review ❤

[@doltBmB]

Far Cry 3 was shit. You complain about patrols staying instead of going away, but a huge problem of Far Cry 3 was that you had nothing to do after clearing most of the map. Just driving around, nothing happening ever. Completely boring. Liberations lasted 5 seconds each so that was the only action that you would really see apart from the story missions which were way too scripted. Vaas was a good character but his story completely fell through, just like every other story thread in that game. And they made it easy as fuck with all the x-ray vision, dumbed down AI etc. etc. If you want a real game, Far Cry 2 is the one that won't hold your hand. The one that's actually hard. That will teach you that you suck at sneaking and also suck at shooting. The one that actually has a really good story with a great ending on top of it all. Far Cry 5 is only taking baby steps toward being half as immersive as Far Cry 2 was. Far Cry 2 had no x-ray vision, no stealth meter, no anything. The enemies could actually see you, and even the map was something you'd hold in your hands.

[@waragainstmyself1159]

Never played FC 2 but you just made me want to play it lol

[@AFarCryAway]

I went back to Far Cry 2 on PC with some graphics mods and WOW is it good! Like you said, it is one of the most immersive game worlds ever. All Far Cry needs to do is be Far Cry 2 with more detail and side missions and it would be perfect

[@wyattweeks9314]

Far cry 2 is on sale for 7.99 on Xbox one... Fun fact

[@WorthABuyreviews]

I loved FC2 played it to death but it no longer works on my win 10 :( As for the OP, I loved the fact that when you cleared a region it became free, it added to immersion. FC5 is just way over done with spawning.

[@richardrichard9567]

I feel exactly the same. I'm actually replaying FC2 now and it feels so much better than FC3. The respawning adds sense of danger, you have to think how to get from A to B. And even in 2018 the game still look great. There is no hand holding, you're not constantly reminded what key to press or which way to go. It can be hard and I hated at first, but then I read Majorslack tutorial about gameplay and weapon loadout.

[@stringstorm]

Can't afford Far Cry 5 but already own Far Cry 4? Don't worry! You've already played Far Cry 5!

[@obigrumpywankenobi3204]

I would have agreed if you would have said " Can't afford Far Cry 4 but already own Far Cry 3" I skipped 4 because it was to much the same ! and I skipped Primal because it looked shit. And I am happy to say that 5 is awesome.

[@bazzy5644]

I find it baffling that they still haven't progressed the series since 3. I feel like i will only buy 5 for the co-op in a few years.

[@SkyHammackDrones]

Bazzy how would they progress the series to your liking? I'm curious.

[@jepsen1977]

+Bazzy No, progress is for wankers and sjws - we like FC the way it is.

[@renovatiovr]

Bazzy Yeah, seems like it will be worth 20-30$ for gold edition when it goes on sale soon, but not more. The game seems to be too mediocre at everything

[@shthouserat]

Having just come off of kingdom come right into an action shooter, I would love to see them start adding some real rpg elements to the games and some actual interaction with the npc's, not just them rambling to you the crazy mute. And of course deeper crafting. But still great shit

[@FMG_MADLOO87]

The punching part had me in tears 😂😂

[@reenapandey8433]

But mack is it 60$ fun??

[@ParatrooperXI]

i think he takes price into account when he thumbs up or down a game. a thumb up literally means worth buying after all.

[@xMTxcameron]

Reena Pandey Yeah, like he says you could probably put 50 hours into the game which sounds worth the price. The whole point of these WAB's are if the games are worth the asking price

[@darken2417]

If not then wait for a sale. There is almost no game worth full price unless you are a reviewer. Exception being the glory that was Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

[@WorthABuyreviews]

Yes especially in coop

[@reenapandey8433]

Thanks!

[@michaelkreitzer1369]

Micro-transactions means automatic not worth a buy for me, but I do appreciate getting a review of what I'm missing. It's a shame, I probably would have bought this otherwise.

[@StarContract]

Michael Kreitzer Get it on sale a year or two later, is what I do. If it's a good game with 0 mtx, I'll buy full price at release, gladly

[@flirineltd6921]

Michael Kreitzer yeah i couldnt wait for this, when i heard about the micro transactions the the hype just died for me :(

[@Bton1233]

Hes wrong give it a chance. Hes jaded its fucking awsome and the microtransactions wont let you buy anything you cant earn. Please trust me hes wrong about this one. I normally agree and dont like and like the same things as him ussually for the same reasons. I understand why he feels this way but he didnt give it a chance if he doesnt hate the antagonists. Like its amazing i swear. Ive never wrote a comment like this before trying to sell somthing like this.. ive played it through almost 3 times already. And played over 100 hours since it dropped.

[@Bton1233]

Flirinel Td they dont even matter. You cant buy anything you cant earn and you dont use any of it in multiplayer except for outfits and you can earn them all

[@flirineltd6921]

Bton1233 its not about what you can buy with them its just the fact that they are in there. The game looks good but im just not gonna support games with shit like this in them anymore whether they are cosmetic or not im sick of all this shit...

[@makkaschatsanddits7899]

I thought you were going to rip this apart! big surprise to me, Good effort Mack lots of love bro

[@TejMilkMilch]

yesss. thank you Mack, been waiting for your WAB

[@tigger2581]

xray vision wtf. the console mantises will eat that up

[@WorthABuyreviews]

The only X-Ray vision I have turned on is for coop so I can see my partner as you can't stray too far away of it teleports you, it's about 1000 meters. All enemy tags and X-ray vision is turned off which makes the game much harder and more enjoyable, don't understand why other reviews all have that bullshit turned on.

[@ScottJoC]

Because some people play games differently than you do and still have fun. The horror

[@STOTTINMAD]

What's count Dankula doing in the thumbnail

[@Overphased]

Probably getting sent to jail for very stupid reasons

[@BadMomentum]

Haha, it does look like him.

[@SaberisloveSaberislife]

Enemies rarely bothers you in a region once you defeat the region boss. Not all perks are available from the start. Some are locked behind story progressions. Agree with everything else. Also, the music is pretty good especially when the world map is open.

[@vladimirkolosov8836]

Almost completed FC5. Its like Ride to Hell Retribution done right, lol.

[@lyoko0069]

I think that the devs were thinking that the cultists would have blocked off the roads preventing contact to the outside world.

[@lyoko0069]

The cultists probably fucked up the radio towers as well

[@Problematist]

Of course. That's the reason why you don't climb radio towers in this game anymore.

[@lyoko0069]

kim Dierichsen Heli vs .50 cal... I’ll let you decide who wins

[@lyoko0069]

Problematist but what about sat phones?

[@vladimirdan1959]

Wouldn't you think the government would get a bit suspicious after not having any contact with the town?

[@TheOrangeRoad]

Thanks but no thanks mac. Still luv ya, but I will never support ubi

[@brianleal87]

?? Then why did you even watch the vid

[@derp8575]

The punching bit was the best. Should've extended it for awhile.

[@lynneshorr1721]

Bro you are freakin hilarious which is why it was a no brainer to subscribe to your channel ! Keep up the awesome videos
