[@JeanLucSeipke]

Hey everyone! We saw a lot of comments asking why we didn't talk about the microtransactions. Which is a good point, so we went ahead and made a separate video detailing everything you need to know about them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGavapivqNJgrtE

[@shadkunt9387]

props to the people behind the game responsible for the beautiful music and soundtracks. Really sets the feel for the game

[@CptnWolfe]

They put in Barracuda in the game, especially during the Widowmaker mission. The only other open world game that has Barracuda in the game is Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, another fantastic open world game

[@kchuckles1]

I can't wait! How are there so many different FC5 gameplay vids out already. I feel like everybody is playing it but me.

[@kchuckles1]

Pretty sure I won't be able play today but it is installing which also didn't expect yet

[@kgeo2686]

Hey thanks man!

[@csch92]

gonna play it all easter :) cant wait.

[@louisvuitton56]

Last thing, you done all of this before already

[@curiosity7106]

FINALLY CARS WITH GUNS THAT YOU CAN USE FROM THE DRIVER’S SEAT

[@silentslayerhd1816]

Do u need to play the previous far cry games in order to understand the story and enjoy it??

[@BossKillRatio]

'best open world game in years' , has this guy even played origins

[@JuanZiAmaya]

This new way of exploring the open world is great and an awesome change to Ubisoft games, AC Origins was the beginning of a new era for Ubi’s games.

[@lwaves]

It's going to be strange not having a mini-map but I'm also looking forward to it and I don't think anyone will miss those bloody towers. I love exploring and it's one of the main reasons I like open world games, so having to do it is perfect for me.

[@StarFox85]

this is an sponsored comment guys!

[@JuanZiAmaya]

StarFox85 Man I wished

[@Robert-goose1]

lwaves I tried Far Cry 4 without a map and I prefer it.

[@marvelousmehki]

Juan Amaya What about Watch Dogs 2

[@TENGILL]

I have a tip! Pick up EVERY weapon the enemy´s drop! Even if you are not going to use it, it will unlock in the store so you wont have to pay for them. The enemy´s even have special versions of guns that are locked to you unless you meet a requirement, so you will have access to there version and wont need to unlock your´s.

[@semaroxx]

TENGILL thanks for the info!

[@Brute6TheBear]

TENGILL qadufd

[@infiniteclutchgaming8206]

Is this an exploit that will be patched?

[@gareth6525]

Meathead Gaming I'd say no as I remember it being like that in previous far cry games.

[@infiniteclutchgaming8206]

Gareth I don't remember that being in previous games? There was certain criteria to unlock signature weapons

[@ReaperGrimm5594]

When you say the game is tough, do you mean actually tough or "game journalist tough"?

[@JeanLucSeipke]

like if you're not careful at the beginning you go down quick. Once you start upgrading weapons and putting silencers on everything is becomes significantly easier. Too easy in fact.

[@raresmacovei8382]

Tough as in FC2 Brutal on highest difficulties or walk in the park ala FC3 highest difficulty?

[@SarahAndreaRoycesChannel]

I guess it all comes down to playstyles as the difficulty hierarchies presented here seem completely off my experience.

[@fajaradi1223]

Farcry 3 and Farcry 4 aim assist is very generous. You don't have to be counter strike accurate to land a headshot. But Farcry 5 seems don't do that anymore.

[@Durian404]

Lmao its an over the top arcade game, how tough can it be?

[@accoutermentaccouterment6239]

someone really sat down with ubisoft and had a talk with them their games have been fantastic lately.

[@therealfishbulbhead]

Stopped watching when he said the game was tough, it's is by far the easiest farcry I've ever played.

[@theyuki-fay-multiverse9086]

So godamnmotherfuckn true

[@TotallyToonsTV]

I like that they replaced the towers with a more natural intel & discovery system Replaced the mini-map with a compass Added character creation The guns look better Added planes & full helicopters I bet the music will be awsome in places Added guns for hire Used a beautiful 1st world setting for the 1st time in the series. and you get a dog....thats an automatic win in any game in my book. Yes it IS like more of the same but just refurbished. It's healthy to look for the positive for a change.

[@valdamjong]

I don't get people who complain about games in a franchise being 'more of the same'. It's a series, they're supposed to be similar. When Halo changed a few things about multiplayer, people went crazy saying Halo was ruined for ever.

[@generictoasterstroodle1080]

But there are many downsides. Main character has literally 0 personality, character creation is VERY bland and limited, guns have less effect and feel less powerful, takedowns are significantly less satisfying, no gory healing animations, animals and vehicles despawn in very short distances around you, which is frustrating when trying to retrieve a hunting kill and it’s not there, or turn your vehicle around to chase a fuel truck or high value target and they despawn when they were barely out of sight, and many, many other flaws. We can’t ignore them or the games won’t improve

[@EXOTIICxSWAGG]

This far cry looks awesome. Love the way they focused on exploration. Giving off a much welcome Skyrim vibe

[@TroutButter]

I liked unlocking the towers. That was one of my favorite parts of the old games as well as breath of the wild. Definitely going to miss them here.

[@anonymous_dot_com2326]

Ot was becoming tedious, majority of people definitely ended up hating it, i see why they made the decision to remove it

[@DEATHANDSADDNESS]

Just don't like 1st person shooter. Would be nice to offer a 3rd person approach.

[@Im.ahmad96]

Mark my words ..this Game will be the best Farcry Game to date ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@JackGriffin745]

I hope so. I love the setting

[@Im.ahmad96]

Yeah Exactly! Me too I think the setting is simply Amazing 👌🔥🔥🔥

[@darthsidious1177]

Finn Leon agreed although the micro-transactions are stupid the story looks amazing and the setting Is awesome

[@726Ian]

Darth Sidious I think the micro transactions are going to be like they were in assassins creed 4 with cosmetics and things that show map locations

[@TurnerTurnip]

Nah. The best Far Cry game will be the Far Cry game set in the future. Futuristic weaponry is what is needed in an upcoming Far Cry game. They kinda did that with Blood Dragon, and look how many people claim that is the best game in the series. Futuristic weaponry is much more interesting/fun then using regular guns. And Far Cry has always been about the guns.

[@Stormmaniac]

I just started playing and honestly usually stay on foot I don't travel much by vehicle yet anyways

[@jojocasimir1118]

lol it be like that 😂

[@tonyguanatos8236]

You can pet dogs?You won me over,I am getting this.😂😎

[@trodimusprime3122]

Just two more days!!! My body is ready!!!!!

[@bradmace9005]

TRodimusPrime 31 2 days? Doesn't it come out on the 27th.

[@kewa_design]

Brad Mace yes and what is in 2 days?... Right March 27th.

[@trodimusprime3122]

Yeah but I'm counting to midnight release lol so it makes it seem like 2 haha

[@bradmace9005]

seregios KILLA 24th today...

[@bradmace9005]

TRodimusPrime 31 Ahhh okay! XD

[@demarcusbrown2103]

[@nonamenousername967]

[@LLAAPPSSEE]

[@zombieEX4]

Aname Goeshere Whats "gross"?

[@LLAAPPSSEE]

[@joseisoniemi]

[@ChozenFTW]

I really hope the shooting is like Rainbow. I always hated slow shooting guns, I want to shoot as fast as my finger taps.

[@WalaStika]

The Legend of Farcry: Cult of the Wild

[@naeka9752]

I took days off of work to play this, I'm picking it up tomorrow night !! Super stoked! :u:

[@Fishplants]

Why not Play the game without knowing anything and enjoy it

[@Lotus52833]

Get off the internet then..

[@LexEllis]

Y'all heard the man. Get yer asses off Fortnite and play FarCry! It'll do ya some good y'hear!

[@zombathon3370]

The moment the announcer says videogames are good again lol so he admits they have been shit lol.

[@cameronmeyer8192]

"This game is pretty tough"... For any normal gamer that translates to "Easy as hell" from Gaming journo speak

[@kameronjones7139]

Traitor Trooper I would hope he had it on easy difficulty because I might just have to put it on hard from the start instead of normal.

[@badidea6034]

Just put it on hard difficulty

[@gavin9056]

Just started playing this game for the first time. My boss kept telling me I need to play it.

[@Andrewnevens]

Can’t wait to play this game! I’m a huge fan of the series! Only thing I diss agree with in this video is when you talked about this game being Ubisoft’s best open world game. Ac origins was one of the best open world games I have ever played, of course I am a huge nerd when it comes to ancient Egypt so maybe that’s why I loved it so much!

[@diamondscapex4443]

i was like allright sounds ok but i wot buy it. then you said that you can pet dogs.. now i've got 15h of pure dog petting on this game.

[@mrv835]

Very good to hear about the Zelda BOTW comparisons

[@Michaelightning]

Another Far Cry game, to add to my Far Cry collection, but this time I am going all out, getting the Steelbook Edition.

[@adamscaife6931]

Why couldn't they have given us a lockpicking minigame instead of holding down the square key for 10 seconds?

[@pd6192]

Adam Scaife cuz they are overdone and no one wants to do them

[@Robert-goose1]

Cyborg Taco I like them.

[@Noodle11]

Cyborg Taco even though they are overdone, doing a mini game is somewhat better than doing nothing for 10 seconds.

[@kameronjones7139]

Adam Scaife mainly because they get repetitive over the course of the game.

[@Jrdarknessking]

Cyborg Taco I'd prefer to actually unlock safes and stuff over pressing a button

[@pafboi]

The 2 of the buddies are similar to the buddies of MGSV

[@GreenTorn]

The game play of Far Cry 5 reminds me of Dying Light. Hopefully this game brings me back some Dying Light memories. God I loved that game!

[@TheBlademan-]

Really liking what I’m seeing so far from this game

[@DiegoMoreno-yb6fj]

This game has really improve

[@WickedGuardian]

The focus on exploration is so exciting. It seems SO much more meaningful here.

[@AbysmalEnd]

I got a GTX 1080 and a ryzen 1700X just so i can play this game maxed out lol

[@mattmangold1322]

THings you should know about far cry 5, THE ENDING FUCKIN SUCKED

[@BugsWitta]

And that was the only bad thing

[@RaynBadray]

Galatians 6:7 - Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Psalms 14 1 (To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. 2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. 5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous. 6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge. 7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. ------------ far cry 5 isn't even considered a video game, You make fun of God and the concept of Worship than you better be prepared for the worse because you're trying to make fun of God and that's very dangerous. You arrogant and ignorant people, Do you not know that a man is like a flower that grows and can anytime be blown away and that place will remember it no more? That's how short every man and woman's life is, It can be taken away at any time. And that's why God is calling your names to Repent before it is too late, Shame is upon this man that mock Sinners for there is nothing funny and cool mocking sinners and yourself because many families are suffering and many of these are suffering, There's nothing cool and awesome about it. These people only doing what the devil wants them to do and whatever he promised them is a fat lie, For he will soon perish in the lake of fire Amen. You're a very broken and harden hearted person to think its nothing but really it is, and You people that have no sympathy how long with the Father be merciful to you and those reading this and still living in sin? You do have emotions but it's your own choice, And you still have a choice to come to the Father and be set free, This isn't a game, Life is very real and the pain is just a taste of the reality of getting right back into it and realizing how wrong you are. Come to repentance before it is too late, You cannot get away from God either that be Videos games or anything else, You cannot escape his Mighty and Righteous judgment not even under your blankets, Just call upon the name of the Lord while he is still near and you will be saved Amen. Lord Jesus Christ Loves You unconditionally and wants you to be with him forever, He doesn't want you to perish for God takes no pleasure in sinners perishing in the lake of fire because it isn't his will but it is his will for you to be saved in his only begotten son Lord Jesus Christ Amen, Whatever you have done and whatever result and whatever situation your in right now either that be drugs and alcohol and smoking or sex addiction, Etc. Jesus is able to take it away and forgive you if only you'll be willing to follow him Amen. Isaiah 55:6-7 (KJV) 6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. ---------- Read Psalm 103 KJV!

[@DavidGarcia11776]

Why am I still seeing ww2 ads?

[@paradigmdashed]

because you still haven't installed ad-block?

[@NathanLeeKrish]

Lisssspppppp uh

[@hunterwolf9591]

I like that this guy goes on about this game being pretty tough and proceeds to miss POINT BLANK WITH A FUCKING SHOTGUN.

[@delbedinotti6622]

FC5 is different from it's predecessors... continues going over perks from the last two games.

[@kjjjacobs13]

You keep saying the game is pretty tough, which scares me because I’m a total noob and weenie. Lol. Is there like a super easy setting? I know, I know, I suck, I’m a loser, make fun of me, whatever, but I play games for FUN and if I’m dying every two seconds and I have to beat a mission to progress, I’m gonna get frustrated and quit. Plus I’m usually drunk and/or stoned while playing video games so that doesn’t help. Also, I’m not good at FPS at all but this game looks fun and I like an open world. I guess I’m just wondering if newb like me will like this game or not? Anyone?

[@fartsmelly1348]

I don’t know about this. I’m probably gonna be getting this game but it just doesn’t seem like a Far Cry game. I remember when Far Cry was about surviving on an island, now it’s character customization with planes and shit.

[@thattonnatoguywithafez8246]

Mex Pretty meh, even buddy system kinda And i mean if anything Far Cry 2 had side quests, well assassinations and transport takeover was it for gun dealer So we had that stuff, really im not amazed anymore, and i still can't believe we are getting Far Cry 3 Classic but no word of Far Cry 2 remaster which would probably be butchered so its just Far Cry 3 aka all fun removed.

[@lolmistro]

I only found out about the binoculars after my third playthrough.... Some games are too open world

[@jscott8110]

sounds like you've got peanut butter in your mouth

[@JeanLucSeipke]

It was PB&J

[@DanielDseven]

It's like previous games, just in different setting. Some say, little bit boring setting compared to Himalayas or Island form FC3. After a while gets repetitive like all of them. That's what I got from all reviews and gameplays.

[@irishmancheckinin6540]

The cow sex part was... interesting. I guess. But the swinging bull junk was a bit much. I'm Irish though, so im a little sensitive to that sort of thing. Im hung like a chipmunk in the winter 🐿, Im hung like the button on a fur coat 😀 credit to Tim R, always loved those 2 jokes.

[@slavmagician2898]

Why is this titled things you should know before you buy? It’s just a tips and tricks video...

[@RipStikSnyper19cal]

Do not buy this game if you are looking for a coop experience... PROGRESS is not shared only hosts game saves if u join your friend all progress you make will not save to your game... Basically making the coop part of the game completely useless

[@irishmancheckinin6540]

This game actually looks good, unless this is a puff piece by a ubi-boy. Although Ubisoft has been doing some good work as of late. They are bringing some respect back into being ubi fanboys. Fair play to em. If they start making good games Ill be a fanboy myself 😀👍

[@iceking1887]

Only Thing You Should Know About Far Cry 5 Is,You Create A Character You Can’t See Unless Your In A Short Cut Scene...Rip Off

[@formerleftist7245]

Why is this game so cheap with animations? Picking a safe lock and all we get is a fucking button icon? Where’s the hands doing something or other? And no hand & arm to open the safe? Shit just flies open? No hand & arm to pick shit up? Again, just a button icon? Weak af bro. Weak af.

[@bryncb]

I was rather hoping Far Cry 5 would be shit. Don't have the time for this right now, and FC3 & 4 consumed well over 100 hours each for me.

[@Ukyo82]

I dont think gonna be better then Assassins Creed Origins but either way look very promising and i am inspired, Far Cry 5 gonna be one of best games of 2018, look more deep and better game then previous Far cry who was good too

[@deadcaptainjames6045]

Main thing to know is the COOP is a lie. Sure you can play the entire game with a friend. But if your not the host you wont get any credit for any of the stuff you did in a COOP game. The only thing that transfers is perks and money. Im hughly pissed at Ubisoft for this.

[@jackharpe3rd233]

5:15 Also I'm Fucking surprised that Gamespot was willing to show this scene without any censorship, let alone loose their God Forbid Monetization!

[@-TheFox-]

*best open world game of ubisoft... mpf .. its same level like origins for my optinion ... far cry has better side missions and origins has a more detailed world. and in Origins you can pet cats... so come on what will you more in an open world adventure game... :D but far cry is the best open world shooter !

[@TheScoutPlay]

Oh shit! So Far Cry 5 is worth playing on its own? Not just worth owning for the sake of having a Far Cry on the new gen? I think I'll check it out!

[@giraffeorganic]

Why does all this look so familiar...it's almost as if I've played the game before. Oh wait, I have......many times....

[@andreyrudoy5357]

"Things I want to know"- is there again gonna be shit numbers of layers of antipirate bullshit fucking up my PC?

[@okseiya]

Idk anything about far cry 5 but can someone tell me if this game has multiplayer like gta in a sense? I want longevity in a game but I know this is a big single player adventure just want to know about multiplayer

[@dennis4180]

Investing in more health than 4 bars is for casuals. Are you even enjoying the game when you're a walking bullet sponge?

[@assassinarsh]

I agree FC5 is ubisoft's best open world game.. but it's one of the best, Assassins Creed Origins takes best open world game for me in Ubisoft

[@WardyLion]

I have to admit that I am looking forward to this game. A lot.

[@creedexxi9004]

After playing Far Cry 6 I had a greater appreciation for Far Cry 5

[@appleappy143]

Plus = map, out post, level hardness, villan , flying , hire minus= story narration, no animal crafting sorry. Iam a far cry lover but. Far cry 5 story mood is not good

[@CptnWolfe]

Silver bars (aka microtransactions) are only a minor thing, as you can easily get money from Safes, Skins and Stashes

[@aminmemar416]

Why the roads full of Peggy and how to get rid of them In other farcrys when you take an outpost the roads gets clean How do that in farcry5????

[@karlgunnergrover14]

How many players can you co-op with in the campaign?

[@fartsmelly1348]

Are you forced to play the game with the dog? I’d rather play this game without any companions with me.

[@tomcruz9118]

Looks like a boring map. No replay value it seems . I’ll just buy this used at GameStop for 5 days lol

[@templarkiller2926]

I have a feeling this game will be pretty good

[@jackharpe3rd233]

I'd rather replay Twilight Princess or have another Far Cry then touch BOTW anyways!

[@AOL805]

Informative. Thank You Sir...

[@steveo0127]

Fixing to check it out on pa5 haven’t played since far cry 4 on Xbox 360

[@benandrick4870]

I hope they reworked the driving. Playing FC4 to prepare and man the driving sucks.

[@Pyroguy24]

Typical Gamespot video. "Watch before you Play...may contain spoilers!".

[@adamvancleave9200]

They should actually advertise the side quests and exploration instead of focusing on the boring parts.

[@Con5tantine]

I can pet dogs? Best game, 5/5, Skyrim with Guns, amazing.

[@MEOW-ys8jk]

Just bought the gold edition game looks great can't wait to play!!!

[@TurnerTurnip]

Looks decent enough. But I won't be buying until there is a significant price drop.

[@thatnickguy]

Jesus, drink some damn water before you narrate a whole video with them sticky gums.

[@Kuzgunrunner1]

Awesome I can't wait to get my copy, sexsual feeling part is in the game?

[@tietenlikker5958]

1 never played any farcry game, can someone quickly explain what the goal is in the game please

[@callmeale8435]

I heard that if you play with a friend at his world and leave and go to your world your progress on the story won’t save? Is that true?

[@JAIMEGARCIA-gw9re]

Hmm, i might just get this game.

[@vrgadin]

Game spot or any big corporate reviewers are totally unreliable and biased. Payed off worms

[@kalebisdrab]

Why the fuck have I been getting COD ww2 advertisements?

[@ryanmcmillan7726]

Fuck man I would've liked discovering that cow part myself

[@vastaxx]

The map overview design takes cue from Horizon Zero Dawn!!

[@rockendude103]

Guess Ubisoft is making a comeback now we just have to wait for EA to do the same

[@robertbullock3612]

How great is America that people make these videos. because were too lazy to play the game
