You’re literally the only TH-camr I’ve seen that changed the crosshair placement from that stupid offset setting back to centred. May you receive a thousand blessings.
Because of Halo, I keep it offset. I was actually quite excited when I first learned about it. Too bad it isn't like Halo where the guns are angled downward, instead, the screen is just panned down. That's my only real complaint with it.
I thought Boomer was incredibly useful because he marks enemies anywhere you send him and enemies don't care when he goes near them. So you could send him into an outpost and tag everyone no problem.
Your voice is so calming and the way you review a game is really pleasing. Thanks for this review. Mind giving a look at TimeSplitters future perfect and maybe a look at the editor and arcade of Far Cry 5
Salokin, Out of curiosity, what is the political climate surrounding this game, if any? I'm debating weather I should buy it or not but because I'm someone who really does not like un-warrented politics in videogames. I was initially worried about the whole crazy religious cult idea, and if the studio or marketers would try and spin a whites/Christians are evil or some other stupid progressive narrative to stir up controversy. When ever that kind of bullshit pops up like that where it is not needed I'll just ignore the game/movie. It's what turned me away from Wolfenstien II. The obnoxious way the marketing and game's story constantly beat the "Nazis are bad!" point over the player's head made me avoid buying it. I fully agree that Nazi's are awful but it just got stupid. That and the fact that it was about 50% cut scene in a game that should be an old school run 'n' gun shooter. If the game itself is fairly devoid of politics referencing current events I'll look in to it. If it has one of those "hidden narratives" like so many current films/comics and games, I'll just avoid it.
Simonium he praises steam's non existant quality control and reads out kotaku articles, stops ppl from commenting on his vids and calls that unbiased content
Isn't more options what makes TotalBiscuit never shut up? His Dust An Elysian Tail review is nothing but the options menu in the entire first part of the video going through every damn little detail and function
also 7:42 Water reflections in fallout 3 with few mods look better. Somehow far cry just never makes nice looking water reflections :( Maybe I am just the only person that notices it.... I am playing kingdom come with low graphics and water looks 2 times better than this (since I don't want any stutters in city).
Late to the party, but the dog is useful as a scout, not as a combat companion. He doesn't alert enemies and automatically tags anyone he comes within around ten feet of. So you can send him running through an enemy stronghold by tagging somewhere on the other side of it and sending him to it, the enemies will ignore him, and you'll be able to keep track of enemies you can't see with a scope or binoculars from your position. He is great to have as a stealth companion, especially if you're going for undetected in a stronghold. Having him run through a stronghold two or three times is a great way to get a tag on those pesky enemies on the other side of a compound without having to sneak all the way around the perimeter and searching around with a scope or binoculars. Jess is great for making money. Having her with you makes animals ignore you, meaning hunting is trivial and so is making money. If you're a stealth player, these are the first two companions you should get. Even if not, Jess should be first priority just because she basically lets you print your own money, meaning you'll always have ammo and be able to buy new weapons with minimal effort.
Another good review Sonny Jim. Going to keep throwing these out there as review suggestions: Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy Darkwatch Gun Alpha Protocol Headhunter Brute Force X-Squad
Just subbed... after watching 3 more recent video reviews and then watching this one even after a couple of days ago having purchased FC5 at a discount on PSN, this guy gives excellent, detailed, no nonsense reviews... im about to watch hia whole back catalogue of reviews lol
"X looks like Y from this show" is as wonderful a reference as "Hi, let's fuck." is a wonderful pick-up line. A good reference would have been him matching "Hey Steven, this is Clem Fandango, can you hear me?" to the antagonist speaking.
So happy that you mentioned the non intrusive MTs like a real human being instead of freaking out that they exist like every other Caricature on TH-cam.
I played this game with a friend and it was the most fun I've had in a game for a long time, I still think it would be fun solo but I highly reccomend playing with a friend because it's hilarious and a blast.
Nick (plane pilot) is actually really good when combo'd with the helicopter companion, I've sent them into outposts and just sat back and watched the show from a safe distance as they do the work for me... Other good combo is Boomer and Peaches, great for stealth players. Boomer works exactly the same as D-Dog from MGS more or less, marking nearby enemies.
Can’t wait to try the map editor. Idea: 4 Player Co-op where they occupy one vehicle and ride down the road to get to the end while fending of pursuing enemies for time extensions. Code name: *Escape from the Highway to Hell*

Well, not fully. They've fixed all the menu problems, but the horrible console in-game interface is still there-you know, when you want to loot a guy but instead chuck your prize weapon over the cliff. That's just totally amateur design in 2008, never mind 2018, but persists. But in general, major QOL improvement over Far Cry 3.
I am also having a lot of fun with this game. :) And also, they have made some jokes in the game about certain aspects of the older Ubisoft games, like when Dutch tells you this when you're climbing the tower on his island: "I know what you're thinking and no. I ain't gonna have you climbing towers all over the county for me, so don't worry. Also, try not to fall from up there."
I found your channel when looking for a review of XIII, a game I always wanted to play, but never got to. After watching that video I saw many more of your reviews of interesting games listed in the related/recommended videos on the right side of the screen and I started watching one after the other. Before I knew it I had already watched about 50 of your reviews. Your videos are so interesting and in my opinion just perfect: The length of your videos is exactly right, you use own recordings that actually show how the game plays, you give a lot of information like the engine that's being used, how well it runs, how difficult it is to get it running when it's an older game, how long it takes to finish the game, who composed the soundtrack and all that kind of information. This is something completely different from other reviewers who review the console version of the game while showing some cinematics from a trailer on screen. I also like your humour and language you use. Constantly calling characters arseholes or fucking idiots or whatever. This is also completely different from others who refuse to even use the word shit and when someone in the game uses the words shit or fuck they'll censor it by beeping it out. That's just so fucking annoying. I really appreciate you for just being yourself and just talking the way you talk. Besides that there's of course the fact your videos that your videos are of high quality with lots of information cramped into just a few minutes. You've really got a lot of knowledge about games and know what you're talking about. It's nice to see you've played and reviewed almost any FPS/action game from the last two decades. It's very nice to be able to still see some footages of games that I've always wanted to play, but never got to. I've also played some games myself that are not well-known and it's nice to see you've also played those games and it's nice to see what you think of them. Of course, I've subscribed to your channel.
Hey Gggman great review now this question does contain spoilers so you've been warned what do you think about all the people complaining about there being no good ending to this game? personally as a fan of Nier and the Drakengard games I'm really glad ubisoft had the balls to do something like this
My father almost had the job that their cultist-corrupted mailman had. Either my father would've became a cultist or the ATF wouldn't have gotten hoodwinked by the Waco compound, crazy shit to think about honestly.
Usually love your reviews dude but your words didnt seem to sync up with the gameplay I saw here. This looks like the same game in a different setting. Like they took no risks at all, which gets boring as fuck
I like this game. The original was by far my favourite rather than 3 which most people prefer. 2 grew on me after a decade of hating it, 4 got boring fast and Primal never appealed so I never played it. But the entire premise of this game is really well done and other than the main storyline where you have little choice in how it unravels, you're pretty much just set free to roam and encounter missions and fights as you stumble on them. I've pretty much ignored most rpg type aspects of the game along with recruitment of npc's to assist with the exception of Boomer the dog. Something about just you and your dog taking on the elements and enemies within appeals to me. Thankfully unlike 3, I have progressed relatively easily with just basic weapons I haven't been forced to craft/upgrade to survive. So far I'm really liking the game but I guess I'll see how I feel past the 20 hour mark where I tend to lose interest if games get too repetitive
Dunno why but it was cool when you came out with the Aussie accent I haven't seen your vids before Just bought far cry 5 today, waiting for it to download Cheers from Perth mate
Loved 2's multiplayer Loved 3's story 4 was to much the same Primal was wack 5 is really a truly good step in the series I am really enjoying everything about it so far. Minis some of the AI or enemy spawns (seriously fix it please) I hope the PvP takes off in this.
1 - Okay, but relentlessly-difficult even on the easiest setting, has more in-common with Crysis than any of the Far Cry sequels. 2 - A great proof of concept that's let down by annoying infinite enemy spawners and tedious Malaria attacks, not to mention game-breaking bugs that persisted nearly a year after launch. 3 - Rock-solid, with a good story and some neat missions. Blood Dragon - Favorite of the series, really wish this was spun-off into its own series instead of being relegated to other series like Trials and goofy cameos occasionally. 4 - Not bad, but more of the same from 3 without a lot of standout elements besides the pretty mountain setting. Primal - A fun little diversion with a unique premise and setting, but feels like it should have just been an expansion for 4 like Blood Dragon was for 3. 5 - More of the same from 3 and 4 once-again, but brings-back some of the more-novel elements from 2 and some good vehicle combat. Throwing shovels at people is also good fun. One thing I can appreciate about most of the Far Cry games is that they have a surprisingly-solid map editor, though they ultimately go underutilized and it can't really substitute proper mod support.
Frankly, the game just looks boring to me. I'm not expecting it to reinvent the wheel, but it just looks like Far Cry 4 with a much blander setting. I don't know, maybe it's more fun to play than to just watch.
It's 2021 and by far in my opinion the most honest review of this game. I genuinely liked it, not my favorite, but enjoyable. The story is ok but what game that is "story driven" these days isn't just ok?
There are a few negatives that pop up only after a time spent with the game: 1) The "Story" events that trigger after getting certain ammount of resistance points are FORCED, and if you were in a mission during that time - chances are the mission either becomes uncompletable, or autocompletes itself (while giving you no reward. If it was a quest chain and you got the latter one than that chain is autocompleted in its entirety... Without giving you rewards. There are also missions that get crossed over as completed after certain Resistane Points even if you havent seen them at all. This happens EVEN TO MAJOR STORY MISSIONS, which in turn leads to shit happening out of nowhere in certain cases because game assumes you know what happened even if you took no part in it. Want to experience all those story missions? Don't have too much fun! You better not do any of those fun side activities, or we do two thirds of them for you! 2) The game has a serious identity disorder where documents and people tell you "OMG cult is so horrible, my brother/father/sister join them and now they are brainwashed, somebody do something!" and then 15 seconds later they encourage you to "go kill all the PEGgies, they aren't really people lol". And then you get brainwashed yourself... Except not really, but then you are brainwashed when game wants you too and not brainwashed when it does not, and then villains turn out "totally right about everything, except they are lying all the time and spewing total bullshit out of their asses, except they are right anyway in the end because shitty writer said so". When you actually pay attention to what is going on the whole story whip lashing back and forth becomes apparent and really grating. 3) "The Great Fishing Minigame" people are praising is completely ripped off from Final Fantasy 15 down to the T, done in exact same way.
"Want to experience all those story missions? Don't have too much fun! You better not do any of those fun side activities, or we do two thirds of them for you!" The solution is 'Resistance Mod'. Those forced captures caused me to abandon the game for months-like being in a poker game & someone slams a chessboard in front of you. With Resistance Mod you can play everything except the later story missions-which as far as I know isn't much of a loss.
@@silversolver7809 Right? It's my biggest issue with the game. I'm not particularly fond of the story, as it feels a bit been-there-done-that-y, but those forced captures where awful. Not to mention the fact that you get captured like nine times over the course of the game and escape? Why do they even bother when somebody has this much plot armor? I dunno, always hated those moment. They sort of justify it by saying Father wants you alive, but man was it grating.
@@mrpaulum8987 Good news, the Resistance mod has evolved a lot since my previous post. Now you can complete the full story while using it-which reminds me, that's something I must get back to! But yeah, that whole thing was really bad game design-hopefully it was a one-off blunder, as there's none of that in the very good New Dawn.
After watching this review, I feel more compelled to pick this game up (this is coming from someone who isn't too crazy about the Far Cry games). Maybe I grab a copy some time after recovering from this cold.
Hm, I dunno about Vaas. I really never understood all this hype behind the guy, to me he was kinda one note coked up nutjob and that's it really. Combined with him being more of a second banana rather than the main villain, quite frankly I always preferred Pagan Ming in terms of character stuff. Though, this game does sound it has the same amount of exploring as FC4 did, even more so, so sounds like it'll be fun to play.
I barely completed any of the challenges and most of the ones I did complete were by accident. I pretty much got most of my perk points from the stashes and boy, those were hundreds of perk points.
None of the Far Cry games impressed me, except for 2. 3 and 4 had a good villian, but I thought the missions were really boring and easy. Is this one more of the same?
Given the current abysmal regional pricing Ubisoft did in our country, it'll be a very long time until FC5 becomes feasible to purchase, but by that time, I would have forgot about it.
You didn't mention the soundtrack which is one of the best ever, and not just in a video game! Also the buddy system is great, if you combine Jess and Boomer you're hunting becomes so easy. Boomer highlights targets and Jess stops them from running away
Ita weird seeing a Far Cry 5 review without much mention of the music. Not a folk music fan, but FC5 has one of the best videogame soundtracks Ive heard to date. Even the music during the benchmarking tool is awesome.
I liberated an outpost only with companions, with a random bow woman I ordered to take out silently some guys and the last guy with a flamethrower was taken down by a sniper companion. All at my command. I also played the game exclusively with the pistol taking out people with headshots. The way bodies react is pretty cool
I agree on the ending. I hate endings where the bad guy wins especially when it's these fucking nutcases that should be dealt with in no time. You go through all this shit, see all these people murdered and tortured with the bad guys gloating and loving their own words and you don't even get to see then disappointed, they just shrug their death and gloat that you're wrong and at the end the bad guy gets away with his stupid victory when his entire thing should have been destroyed in front of him and they all should have collapsed in madness from being proven wrong so horribly much. I don't care if we're the bad guys they deserve it and so do we for managing through so many enemies. And i'm tired of every modern horror game or story with a maniac that always end up with the bad guy winning and the good, innocent and great guy just losing in some form or the other. Just have this and the fucking cultists in Outlast 2 lose and die in their own failure of realizing they have been living in a big fat lie. I know a 10/10 plot that would blow every modern game away. Replace the Far Cry 5 protagonist with Caleb from Blood and see him murder and wreck carnage on the entire cult while they're helpless to even make him flinch as he laugh away blowing up piles of bodies into flaming guts and having him gut the main villain's stupid brain washed wives and relatives gutted by Caleb with his bare hands and burning their entire group with gasoline and a lighter. 10/10 greatest story, better love story than gollum and his precious
Ubisoft almost had me, but lost me with that detachement, placing a total randy as the playable character and taking off interaction with other NPC's serving as a gun vendor, it may sound nitpicky, but more or less it's what make Vaas and Citra memorable; they work as polar opossites of Jason, who reacts as an everyman to the situations in front of him. It may be argued that it is even a plot downgrade from Far Cry 2, since the mercenaries didn't need to be fleshed out as the real protagonist was the jackal, the mercenaries are merely his tools and the outcome doesn't differ from character to character. Still looks fun, but it feels like FC3 was the peak of the series and afterwards is slowly going downhill.
Vaas is about as memorable as a half eaten bagel. For all the "oh, they are polar opposites to Jason" both him and Citra are flat as fuck. Vaa's only deal is that he's a coked up dickwad who has nothing else going for him, Citra's only gimmick is that she's all about her "true warrior" BS and that's about it. Also, the story of FC2 practically didn't exist, Jackal is just a pretentious wanker who try's to come off as he's "deep" but he's just eye rolling.
That's the point man, they are shallower than a glass, it's the reaction from Jason that gives them character, and her gimmick made the whole cultist thing better in 3 as he unadvertedly starts to get converted. There is a story in FC2, plotwise it is very cookie cutter, that's true. Yeah, he was an asshole and the only good thing he did was slowing down the guerrillas so the civilians could cross the border. The point was that ther mercenaries, it didn't matter who you chose, was just a tool in a bigger conflict.
I am quite glad the crosshair's either centered by default or option as I had seen advertisements/trailers of the game where they had been lowered akin to Halo 2, Halo Online unmodified or Destiny (Didn't look as low as Bodycount, thank goodness!), and should I ever be tempted to pick this up someday (Peeps like Rabbit's Respawn or StealthGamerBR™ with their insane plays of the games sure can tickle a temptation), that would've been a rather tricky thing to get used to. Also gotta give particular props to the peeps in charge of the weapon viewmodel placement, as even if it's a bit close for my liking (I'm not seeing evidence of it being adjustable), it's refreshingly nice to see them placed low & not so-large as if the marketing team heard the animators go "We CAN make beautifully animated weapon models without having them enlarged or have 'em take 20-25% of the screen" and they actually believed them for once.
It feels like you enjoy every game you play lately. Not that i hate happy people (i do though), but it makes it hard to know what to purchase. It would be nice if every once in a while, you did a little retrospective to tell what you still play, what you remember fondly, what you totally forgot about. Love you still, and thanks.
The emergent gameplay can make some real laugh out loud whacky stuff happen too. I had a buffalo tip a truck off a cliff to kill a band of baddies, I had Jess jump out of a helicopter only to die when it landed on her, and I watched some campers on Falcon Peak get massacred by eagles.
3:04 I beg to differ
O shit
To be fair it's no borderlands 2 options menu.
Or even better, the menu in serious sam 3. i've no idea what most of the options in that menu even do.
lol it's actually you
you're cancer tbh.
Guys, Far Cry has fishing in it.
Sea of Thieves does not.
Let that sink in.
Sink in. I see what you did there.
So many puns.
@@StupidMAN-fh8ch your out of your depth
well you can't fish peacefully enemies are spawning every fu*king where.
What the fuck does it want now?
You’re literally the only TH-camr I’ve seen that changed the crosshair placement from that stupid offset setting back to centred. May you receive a thousand blessings.
Real men turn the reticle off
Because of Halo, I keep it offset. I was actually quite excited when I first learned about it. Too bad it isn't like Halo where the guns are angled downward, instead, the screen is just panned down. That's my only real complaint with it.
I changed it too directly. Just didn't feel right...
My eyes hurts when seeing it
Offset crosshair is just wrong and anyone who uses it and prefers it is wrong
Far Cry 6. Play as gggmanlives as he takes out Steve Smith, Warner, Bancroft and finally Lehmann to liberate the Aussie dressing room.
Donal Costello With a cricket bat to the face.
Lol Still can't understand why did they need to do it and how they thought they can.get away with this shit with so many cameras.
As well as any new Zealanders And any and all fans of black mesa
Hopefully, GMan would never do anything to help out Ubisoft. Some games are good, but they're a horrible company.
Far cry 6 is being made right now
I always love how you present the gameplay you combine the best moments. You can convince just about anyone to buy a game lol..
Carlos Santana fuckkkk offff no he doesnt convince me to do shit.... 😂
iKillTerries YT Sinner
Carlos Santana Shut up you santana wannabe
iKillTerries YT Get lost Sonny Jim
I challenge you to prove that, make him play Sonic 06 and Sonic Boom and see if he can make me buy them not for the glitches and lols
I thought Boomer was incredibly useful because he marks enemies anywhere you send him and enemies don't care when he goes near them. So you could send him into an outpost and tag everyone no problem.
It's stressful for me because whenever Boomer gets downed, my immediate impulse is to charge right ahead and revive him
And he steals their guns sometimes and brings them to me, he’s such a good boy🙂
And searches the corpses of fallen enemies for items. He takes ammo and money off them.
"The edgy stealth character" *Proceeds to yell at the top of her lungs*

TH-cam forcefully unsubscribed me from your channel. I'm subscribing again.... thought you'd like to know Gggman
Sometimes his videos don't appear on my desktop feed but appear on my mobile. Really weird that this just happens with dis channel
don't forget to tell TH-cam (feedback) that you saw them unsubscribing your subscription.
Great review, it’s somewhat annoying people have overly focused on its politics over he gameplay
And the microtranscations.
Can't stop people pushing an agenda.

yeah, first you meme, then frogs start turning people gay. We all know where it start's. WE HAVE TO CLEAN WATER. MAKE IT LOOK GOOD IN GAMES>
Ben yeah I remember In the 3rd on there was litterly a patch of water that was clear.. like literally no texture at all
There are some texture pop ins and some screen tearing when things get chaotic. I play on the original Xbox one
I rewatch so many of your reviews 😂 hope you don’t stop them coming !

Late to the party, but the dog is useful as a scout, not as a combat companion. He doesn't alert enemies and automatically tags anyone he comes within around ten feet of. So you can send him running through an enemy stronghold by tagging somewhere on the other side of it and sending him to it, the enemies will ignore him, and you'll be able to keep track of enemies you can't see with a scope or binoculars from your position.
He is great to have as a stealth companion, especially if you're going for undetected in a stronghold. Having him run through a stronghold two or three times is a great way to get a tag on those pesky enemies on the other side of a compound without having to sneak all the way around the perimeter and searching around with a scope or binoculars.
Jess is great for making money. Having her with you makes animals ignore you, meaning hunting is trivial and so is making money.
If you're a stealth player, these are the first two companions you should get. Even if not, Jess should be first priority just because she basically lets you print your own money, meaning you'll always have ammo and be able to buy new weapons with minimal effort.
Who looks like CLANS FANDANGO
Me: Completely lost it.
Clem Fandango. You need to watch the BBC programme 'Toast of London' to get his remark. He's right and it made me chuckle.
bukasa jonathan I'm gay
TALEHOUSETV I think he meant completely lost it as in he started cracking up.
Hey if an open world game like this impresses you of all people this much, I guess it’s worth a purchase.
Why what open world game do you like?

Hey bro, loving your Retro classic game reviews as well as your new ones. Keep IT UP!
The Toast of London reference was just wonderful
"X looks like Y from this show" is as wonderful a reference as "Hi, let's fuck." is a wonderful pick-up line. A good reference would have been him matching "Hey Steven, this is Clem Fandango, can you hear me?" to the antagonist speaking.
Chill out lad
So happy that you mentioned the non intrusive MTs like a real human being instead of freaking out that they exist like every other Caricature on TH-cam.

Other good combo is Boomer and Peaches, great for stealth players. Boomer works exactly the same as D-Dog from MGS more or less, marking nearby enemies.
Can’t wait to try the map editor.
Idea: 4 Player Co-op where they occupy one vehicle and ride down the road to get to the end while fending of pursuing enemies for time extensions.
Code name: *Escape from the Highway to Hell*

A ubisoft game that isn't broken on PC? Amazing
It requires U(not)Play, so technically speaking... it is.
Bunker Knacker Is it possible to get rid of that virus?I even cracked my original game because of that.
Well, not fully. They've fixed all the menu problems, but the horrible console in-game interface is still there-you know, when you want to loot a guy but instead chuck your prize weapon over the cliff. That's just totally amateur design in 2008, never mind 2018, but persists.

Love the dig on Bisquit, you both give great insight to gaming. THX...
Last thing I expected was a Toast of London reference
Binging your videos that last couple of days ... great stuff
I am also having a lot of fun with this game. :)
And also, they have made some jokes in the game about certain aspects of the older Ubisoft games, like when Dutch tells you this when you're climbing the tower on his island: "I know what you're thinking and no. I ain't gonna have you climbing towers all over the county for me, so don't worry. Also, try not to fall from up there."

This is something completely different from other reviewers who review the console version of the game while showing some cinematics from a trailer on screen. I also like your humour and language you use. Constantly calling characters arseholes or fucking idiots or whatever. This is also completely different from others who refuse to even use the word shit and when someone in the game uses the words shit or fuck they'll censor it by beeping it out. That's just so fucking annoying. I really appreciate you for just being yourself and just talking the way you talk.
Besides that there's of course the fact your videos that your videos are of high quality with lots of information cramped into just a few minutes. You've really got a lot of knowledge about games and know what you're talking about. It's nice to see you've played and reviewed almost any FPS/action game from the last two decades. It's very nice to be able to still see some footages of games that I've always wanted to play, but never got to. I've also played some games myself that are not well-known and it's nice to see you've also played those games and it's nice to see what you think of them. Of course, I've subscribed to your channel.
correct the title. you talk about far cry 5 BUT TH-cam SAY "far cry 4".
so: who right? a youtuber, OR A BILION DOLLAR COMPANY?
think about it.
wut?
You high pal?
What r u saying
Nice review man ,always love your work
14 years is almost 2 decades??
Glad somebody else picked up on that!
RadioactivFly 6 years off dude
"Almost"
I use the same measurement for dating.
Yeah 11 years is really 20 years too.
The fact we got an 60fps update for next gen really has me diving into this game with a mate
Hey Gggman great review now this question does contain spoilers so you've been warned
what do you think about all the people complaining about there being no good ending to this game?
personally as a fan of Nier and the Drakengard games I'm really glad ubisoft had the balls to do something like this
I kinda like it being a bit more dark. Reminds me of Far Cry 2.
Nice review man!
I love your videos!!
Farcry: Waco edition.
Stephen O'Brien
I was just about to say that!
Except if it was Waco edition we would be able to burn down houses filled with kids.
My father almost had the job that their cultist-corrupted mailman had.
Either my father would've became a cultist or the ATF wouldn't have gotten hoodwinked by the Waco compound, crazy shit to think about honestly.
This definitely looks gorgeous.
"The graphics you know,that's really what it's all about "
In shooters? Kinda, yeah. There's not much else to them, eye candy is important.
dive_bomber that's probably why fps games are my least favorite game genre
Fuck graphics whores, they're the reason these games "need" 10 billion dollar budgets.
I don't care about graphics(of course just because I said that doesn't mean I want pixel graphic)

I'm really enjoying this game so far. I put about 8 hours in and can't wait to throw more at it.
Usually love your reviews dude but your words didnt seem to sync up with the gameplay I saw here. This looks like the same game in a different setting. Like they took no risks at all, which gets boring as fuck
How does it not sync up with the gameplay?
Maybe I phrased that badly. Just the amount of glowing praise you were giving, while the gameplay doesn't really look all that great to me.
Fair enough.
love this review, man. great job.
First time seeing Joseph Seed's statue, it reminds me of Bioshock Infinite.
Fishing is an underrated hobby in general. I like to do it when I'm invited.
I like this game. The original was by far my favourite rather than 3 which most people prefer. 2 grew on me after a decade of hating it, 4 got boring fast and Primal never appealed so I never played it.
But the entire premise of this game is really well done and other than the main storyline where you have little choice in how it unravels, you're pretty much just set free to roam and encounter missions and fights as you stumble on them.
I've pretty much ignored most rpg type aspects of the game along with recruitment of npc's to assist with the exception of Boomer the dog. Something about just you and your dog taking on the elements and enemies within appeals to me.
Thankfully unlike 3, I have progressed relatively easily with just basic weapons I haven't been forced to craft/upgrade to survive.
So far I'm really liking the game but I guess I'll see how I feel past the 20 hour mark where I tend to lose interest if games get too repetitive
Dunno why but it was cool when you came out with the Aussie accent
I haven't seen your vids before
Just bought far cry 5 today, waiting for it to download
Cheers from Perth mate
Gggmanlives would you review Gear of Wars franchise?
Probably not.

I literally waited for your review

Being able to pet the fangs for hire / pets was a great touch. Who would have thought that the dieabeetuc bear boi was such a softie
Loved 2's multiplayer
Loved 3's story
4 was to much the same
Primal was wack
5 is really a truly good step in the series I am really enjoying everything about it so far. Minis some of the AI or enemy spawns (seriously fix it please)
I hope the PvP takes off in this.
Sir Ratch509 this
+GiVin Hip-Hop This.
Sir Ratch509 This
1 - Okay, but relentlessly-difficult even on the easiest setting, has more in-common with Crysis than any of the Far Cry sequels.
2 - A great proof of concept that's let down by annoying infinite enemy spawners and tedious Malaria attacks, not to mention game-breaking bugs that persisted nearly a year after launch.
3 - Rock-solid, with a good story and some neat missions.
Blood Dragon - Favorite of the series, really wish this was spun-off into its own series instead of being relegated to other series like Trials and goofy cameos occasionally.
4 - Not bad, but more of the same from 3 without a lot of standout elements besides the pretty mountain setting.
Primal - A fun little diversion with a unique premise and setting, but feels like it should have just been an expansion for 4 like Blood Dragon was for 3.
5 - More of the same from 3 and 4 once-again, but brings-back some of the more-novel elements from 2 and some good vehicle combat. Throwing shovels at people is also good fun.
One thing I can appreciate about most of the Far Cry games is that they have a surprisingly-solid map editor, though they ultimately go underutilized and it can't really substitute proper mod support.
it may be more refined, that doesnt necessarily mean more enjoyable. and the purpose of video games is to have fun.
Frankly, the game just looks boring to me. I'm not expecting it to reinvent the wheel, but it just looks like Far Cry 4 with a much blander setting. I don't know, maybe it's more fun to play than to just watch.
My thoughts exactly.
It's 2021 and by far in my opinion the most honest review of this game. I genuinely liked it, not my favorite, but enjoyable. The story is ok but what game that is "story driven" these days isn't just ok?
There are a few negatives that pop up only after a time spent with the game:
1) The "Story" events that trigger after getting certain ammount of resistance points are FORCED, and if you were in a mission during that time - chances are the mission either becomes uncompletable, or autocompletes itself (while giving you no reward. If it was a quest chain and you got the latter one than that chain is autocompleted in its entirety... Without giving you rewards.
There are also missions that get crossed over as completed after certain Resistane Points even if you havent seen them at all. This happens EVEN TO MAJOR STORY MISSIONS, which in turn leads to shit happening out of nowhere in certain cases because game assumes you know what happened even if you took no part in it.
Want to experience all those story missions? Don't have too much fun! You better not do any of those fun side activities, or we do two thirds of them for you!
2) The game has a serious identity disorder where documents and people tell you "OMG cult is so horrible, my brother/father/sister join them and now they are brainwashed, somebody do something!" and then 15 seconds later they encourage you to "go kill all the PEGgies, they aren't really people lol".
And then you get brainwashed yourself... Except not really, but then you are brainwashed when game wants you too and not brainwashed when it does not, and then villains turn out "totally right about everything, except they are lying all the time and spewing total bullshit out of their asses, except they are right anyway in the end because shitty writer said so".
When you actually pay attention to what is going on the whole story whip lashing back and forth becomes apparent and really grating.
3) "The Great Fishing Minigame" people are praising is completely ripped off from Final Fantasy 15 down to the T, done in exact same way.
"Want to experience all those story missions? Don't have too much fun! You better not do any of those fun side activities, or we do two thirds of them for you!"
The solution is 'Resistance Mod'. Those forced captures caused me to abandon the game for months-like being in a poker game & someone slams a chessboard in front of you. With Resistance Mod you can play everything except the later story missions-which as far as I know isn't much of a loss.
@@silversolver7809 Right? It's my biggest issue with the game. I'm not particularly fond of the story, as it feels a bit been-there-done-that-y, but those forced captures where awful. Not to mention the fact that you get captured like nine times over the course of the game and escape? Why do they even bother when somebody has this much plot armor? I dunno, always hated those moment. They sort of justify it by saying Father wants you alive, but man was it grating.
@@mrpaulum8987 Good news, the Resistance mod has evolved a lot since my previous post. Now you can complete the full story while using it-which reminds me, that's something I must get back to!
But yeah, that whole thing was really bad game design-hopefully it was a one-off blunder, as there's none of that in the very good New Dawn.
After watching this review, I feel more compelled to pick this game up (this is coming from someone who isn't too crazy about the Far Cry games). Maybe I grab a copy some time after recovering from this cold.
Every Ggman video:
Well sheeeet is it time to make a rubin sandwich Sonny Jim's? Well I'm so glad you asked.
0:36 Hey, that song was in GTA San Andreas as well!
Hm, I dunno about Vaas. I really never understood all this hype behind the guy, to me he was kinda one note coked up nutjob and that's it really. Combined with him being more of a second banana rather than the main villain, quite frankly I always preferred Pagan Ming in terms of character stuff. Though, this game does sound it has the same amount of exploring as FC4 did, even more so, so sounds like it'll be fun to play.
i liked vaas but pagan had more depth
I still think The Jackal is the best
Problem is, the Jackal is pretty much a flat and kinda pretentious character.
LMAO! Thank you for taking shots at TB. That put a big smile on my face :)
enough graphical settings to shut totalbiscuit up? hah. yeah right
I barely completed any of the challenges and most of the ones I did complete were by accident. I pretty much got most of my perk points from the stashes and boy, those were hundreds of perk points.
Enough graphical options in the menu to shut total biscuit...
You have no idea how hard I laughed at that one...
‘Hello Steven, this is Clem Fandango, can you hear me?’ ‘I can hear you Clem Fandango’
None of the Far Cry games impressed me, except for 2. 3 and 4 had a good villian, but I thought the missions were really boring and easy. Is this one more of the same?
Gōdon Gurando I agree. We will never get a game like Bioshock, Far Cry 2, Fallout 3, or anything like that again
Shoot the last good far cry to me was def Predator..that was such a unique title.
FC 3, 4 and 5 have same villian with different texture
it's anti-white anti-christian crap
lmfao you are fucking insane..anti-white anti christian? Haven't we been killing these types of guys in games..for years?
Given the current abysmal regional pricing Ubisoft did in our country, it'll be a very long time until FC5 becomes feasible to purchase, but by that time, I would have forgot about it.
You didn't mention the soundtrack which is one of the best ever, and not just in a video game!
Also the buddy system is great, if you combine Jess and Boomer you're hunting becomes so easy. Boomer highlights targets and Jess stops them from running away
Farcry 4 had the guns for hire too,but you only had 2 options THANK GOD THEY IMPROVED IT
Is the stealth gameplay better or worse?
Most likely the same judging from gameplay videos since the AI looks about the same.
Yeah, would've been my guess too
The same.
Love your reviews
360p squad, where are you?
Medic you know it daddy
I'm here sarge!
Hey ! where does your picture came from ?
The main bad guy is in the Netflix show Frontier, he plays a really creepy guy well.
Ita weird seeing a Far Cry 5 review without much mention of the music. Not a folk music fan, but FC5 has one of the best videogame soundtracks Ive heard to date. Even the music during the benchmarking tool is awesome.
Agreed
The shot at Amy Schumer was more accurate then any taken in the video.
#shotsfired
*_CHEESEBURGER DOWN! NOOO!!!!!!_*
I liberated an outpost only with companions, with a random bow woman I ordered to take out silently some guys and the last guy with a flamethrower was taken down by a sniper companion.
All at my command.
I also played the game exclusively with the pistol taking out people with headshots. The way bodies react is pretty cool
What I want to know is that, is the fishing as good as Big the cat missions in Sonic Adventure?
I agree on the ending. I hate endings where the bad guy wins especially when it's these fucking nutcases that should be dealt with in no time.
You go through all this shit, see all these people murdered and tortured with the bad guys gloating and loving their own words and you don't even get to see then disappointed, they just shrug their death and gloat that you're wrong and at the end the bad guy gets away with his stupid victory when his entire thing should have been destroyed in front of him and they all should have collapsed in madness from being proven wrong so horribly much. I don't care if we're the bad guys they deserve it and so do we for managing through so many enemies. And i'm tired of every modern horror game or story with a maniac that always end up with the bad guy winning and the good, innocent and great guy just losing in some form or the other.
Just have this and the fucking cultists in Outlast 2 lose and die in their own failure of realizing they have been living in a big fat lie.
I know a 10/10 plot that would blow every modern game away. Replace the Far Cry 5 protagonist with Caleb from Blood and see him murder and wreck carnage on the entire cult while they're helpless to even make him flinch as he laugh away blowing up piles of bodies into flaming guts and having him gut the main villain's stupid brain washed wives and relatives gutted by Caleb with his bare hands and burning their entire group with gasoline and a lighter.
10/10 greatest story, better love story than gollum and his precious
magnusm4 i really hate how joseph never get hurt and only get barely scarred or just dirtied.
I need to say one thing: Boomer is the best boy. Period!
Gggman's love for Far Cry 2 is one example of why I trust his opinion. Can't wait to play this shit.
Ubisoft almost had me, but lost me with that detachement, placing a total randy as the playable character and taking off interaction with other NPC's serving as a gun vendor, it may sound nitpicky, but more or less it's what make Vaas and Citra memorable; they work as polar opossites of Jason, who reacts as an everyman to the situations in front of him. It may be argued that it is even a plot downgrade from Far Cry 2, since the mercenaries didn't need to be fleshed out as the real protagonist was the jackal, the mercenaries are merely his tools and the outcome doesn't differ from character to character.
Still looks fun, but it feels like FC3 was the peak of the series and afterwards is slowly going downhill.
Vaas is about as memorable as a half eaten bagel. For all the "oh, they are polar opposites to Jason" both him and Citra are flat as fuck. Vaa's only deal is that he's a coked up dickwad who has nothing else going for him, Citra's only gimmick is that she's all about her "true warrior" BS and that's about it. Also, the story of FC2 practically didn't exist, Jackal is just a pretentious wanker who try's to come off as he's "deep" but he's just eye rolling.
That's the point man, they are shallower than a glass, it's the reaction from Jason that gives them character, and her gimmick made the whole cultist thing better in 3 as he unadvertedly starts to get converted. There is a story in FC2, plotwise it is very cookie cutter, that's true. Yeah, he was an asshole and the only good thing he did was slowing down the guerrillas so the civilians could cross the border. The point was that ther mercenaries, it didn't matter who you chose, was just a tool in a bigger conflict.
TheLakabanzaichrg pagan min better.he gives you dinner and let you go shoot guns with him.
That ending looked funny, is it worth getting mate?.
@@Lawlaliet you are a fucking moron
I am quite glad the crosshair's either centered by default or option as I had seen advertisements/trailers of the game where they had been lowered akin to Halo 2, Halo Online unmodified or Destiny (Didn't look as low as Bodycount, thank goodness!), and should I ever be tempted to pick this up someday (Peeps like Rabbit's Respawn or StealthGamerBR™ with their insane plays of the games sure can tickle a temptation), that would've been a rather tricky thing to get used to.
Also gotta give particular props to the peeps in charge of the weapon viewmodel placement, as even if it's a bit close for my liking (I'm not seeing evidence of it being adjustable), it's refreshingly nice to see them placed low & not so-large as if the marketing team heard the animators go "We CAN make beautifully animated weapon models without having them enlarged or have 'em take 20-25% of the screen" and they actually believed them for once.
this game needed trigen companions
Predator mode when
And Clutch Nixon said "Hold my beer!"

It feels like you enjoy every game you play lately. Not that i hate happy people (i do though), but it makes it hard to know what to purchase. It would be nice if every once in a while, you did a little retrospective to tell what you still play, what you remember fondly, what you totally forgot about. Love you still, and thanks.
Maybe because I've enjoyed every game I've played lately? Why are people so shocked by positive reviews?
Don't be so defensive. I'm not shocked, and there were other sentences besides my first one, that i still think were a constructive idea.
You should make a *photorealistic* shirt
If gggmanlives likes it then people should get it
I honestly think this game worse than the last ones, especially for stealth lovers.
Thanks for getting the review out quickly brother! Review yakuza 6 please and all new games please and thank you
BUT WHAT ABOUT BOOMER?
otakuman23
Boomer will live.
.

Just make sure you pet him enough.
The emergent gameplay can make some real laugh out loud whacky stuff happen too. I had a buffalo tip a truck off a cliff to kill a band of baddies, I had Jess jump out of a helicopter only to die when it landed on her, and I watched some campers on Falcon Peak get massacred by eagles.
