Just get Far Cry 3 with Ziggy's Mod. Or, if the mandatory checkpoint system in the console versions of FC2 was the only thing that annoyed you, you can also just get the PC edition of FC2 which has a proper save-anywhere system.hanselthecaretaker said:The last Far Cry I?ve played was 2, and if the gunplay is nuanced and solid with no checkpoint bs I may very well end up getting this.
Ha, even some of the comments mentioned Far Cry 5.Ravinoff said:...not sure if that's the villain, or just Neil Fallon from Clutch. Seriously, the resemblance is uncanny [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o1pPE6l0Vo].
I played PC, but the respawns were still annoying. I spent most of the time off-roading or running around their outskirts. What?s cool is the Gold Edition comes with FC3, although still cheaper to just get them separately if the seasons pass/perks don?t float one?s boat.Arnoxthe1 said:Just get Far Cry 3 with Ziggy's Mod.

I agree, as long as these right wing nutjobs keep quiet and their ambition reaches no further than ''don't take away our guns'' the federal government will look the other way. But a direct provocation that undermines state authority or violates federal law definitely will not. Just look at when the ATF raided the Branch Davidians compound during the Waco incident. And that was just a small militia of religious zealots. If an entire county becomes somehow taken over by a militia I imagine the white house declaring it a state of emergency and transfers authority from federal law enforcement to homeland security. Either way it becomes a mess, but when push comes to shove an insurrection will never be tolerated. I also wonder what the general support would be for such a militia as these secessionist movements have always been a fringe phenomena anyways and all the U.S. flag-waving and patriotism makes me doubt many citizens would want the country to fall apart.Gethsemani said:Obviously Far Cry 5 exaggerates a fair bit, but if the county Sheriff is on the religious militia's side, who are you going to turn to? The feds? Why would some rural Joe in Montana trust them all out of sudden? In real life, federal law enforcement couldn't evict a bunch of poorly led secessionists without a plan from federal buildings, what makes anyone think they'd do any better when the guys on the other side are motivated, trained and armed with military grade hardware? Imagine the nightmare of being the FBI director that ordered a raid on an entire county and the ensuing blood bath that resulted in dozens of deaths, hundreds of wounded and a martyred religious nut job who's final words are all over the internet.
Well, you can try it but I don't think a dick like that could possibly get any smaller.ZombieProof said:Keep this up and Imma need a cold shower...
Game will release next month and so far no news of Lootboxes surfaced.....yet.KingsGambit said:Ubiwank game, wouldn't pay full price for it. Wouldn't pay $20 for it. Maybe when it's $10 in 2 years time with all content. Unless it has the lootboxes, in which case I wouldn't take it for free.
It's just another The Ubisoft Game with multiple layers of DRM. Can't bring myself to care about that anymore.
Yeah, there's a reason Waco aftermath made the feds understandably gunshy. And one need look no further than the Bundy standoff for this happening recently. And the kind of assholes that FC 5 is using know this, abusing the system in order to get their way. I'm hoping this is like Wolfenstein: The New Colossus wherein it's fifteen hours of catharsis over knowing that a bunch of bigots and losers are getting their just desserts.Gethsemani said:And if there's one thing that rural America really has going for it, it is that die-hard anti-federalism stance and the insistence of doing things your own way.

"When seconds count, the police are hours away!" is a saying around here for a reason.
Also, the police and military are under zero obligation, legally, to protect civilian lives. Warren vs. DC established that.

Only if it's Christian or Jewish. But hey, it's not like there's an actual religion causing mayhem and establishing fascistic governments wherever it exists. Oh wait, there is.CaitSeith said:For demonizing religious zealotry?

But with the Bundy standoff there were no hostages or a good enough reason to risk escalating the situation so if anything waiting it out was the right call. In Far Cry 5 there is already open conflict (hell there are dogfights with WWII era planes, IIRC) and people are already dying. Unless the main antagonist has some leverage on the State and/or Federal government I don't know why there wouldn't be a response with in the first week of this shit going down. I suppose one could argue the government isn't aware of what's going on, but that just raises it's own set of questions and issues.Aiddon said:Yeah, there's a reason Waco aftermath made the feds understandably gunshy.

Well, I don't live in the US, so maybe I do, but even then, the game's depicting what ammounts to an insurrection. Even if law enforcement is bunk, surely the armed forces have a stake in this?Smithnikov said:You really, really have an optimistic view of rural law enforcement, don't you?

True, but it's still fun.hanselthecaretaker said:I think perhaps too much stock is being put into the notion that this game is something more than pulpy entertainment, and not meant to be taken too seriously.
Eh, hard to really say before it comes out. The other recent Far Cry games kinda wobble back and forth from almost semi-serious to nearly Just Cause levels of goofy. Ignoring the weird side missions, 3 fucking knocked it out of the park, characters out of a Tarantino movie in Heart of Darkness/Apocalypse Now, backed up by solid-as-fuck gameplay. I kinda wonder if that may have been a fluke though, because while 4 kept the gameplay, the story was a lot less impressive. The rebels are total assholes (look up the two possible endings), your character's only connection is a father we never see onscreen, and...okay, I honestly liked Pagan Min, but he wasn't enough to carry the game. Can't comment on Primal, as I've never played it, but that whole concept executed in a Far Cry game is just kinda strange to me.hanselthecaretaker said:I think perhaps too much stock is being put into the notion that this game is something more than pulpy entertainment, and not meant to be taken too seriously.
They and the federal government surely do. Now, I realize Far Cry 5 exaggerates, but a situation where a cult or similar organization takes over a rural area and starts acting out is not unheard of. If the county leadership and the Sheriff's office are on the side of the cult, who do you turn to for legal protection? Who will tell the federal authorities that the county is turning into some crazy pastors personal playground? One of the rural farmers who distrust the feds in all things?Hawki said:Well, I don't live in the US, so maybe I do, but even then, the game's depicting what ammounts to an insurrection.

It's the 21st century. People were even able to smuggle footage out of Raqqa when islamic state took over and they were actively destroying satellite dishes and tracking whatever low-speed internet it had. They will know. If some individuals with cellphones and laptops can bring things to light certainly it wouldn't be a problem for the modern surveillance state.Gethsemani said:If no one tells the feds that Hope County is verging on insurrection and the Sheriff and elected officials keeps feeding federal authorities lies about how everything is normal, how will the feds know?
it's the 21st century here. But when the game is set, is not so certain. They have presented no 21st century technology in available footage so far. Also the story allegedly starts with your character being part of an arrest attempt on the leader that doesn't go to plan, with the locals being coerced or intimidated into silence. The anti-government sentiment from all locals is supposed to play a role in the creation of the settingstroopwafel said:It's the 21st century.
