I'm not going to lie, I'm hype as fuck, but how are

It's not coming out for 9 months.

It's just going to be a reskin of 3, just like 4 was.

>>378398618
still
>>378398742
eh I have hope, far cry 3 and 4 were very similar in terms of location so it is kind of expected but 5 is set in America so

>>378398884
>3 and 4 were very similar in terms of location
Pacific Islands vs Himalayan mountains? There's nothing similar between the two.

>>378399091
I mean that both are in very forested, distant locations

>>378399214
And this game isnt going to be a very forested distant location?
At least from my point of view it is very distant.

I've only played Far Cry 4 and it's hard to make a worse villain than Pagan fucking Min. I've never seen a game with worse writing and a more generic, poorly constructed villain and I mean that. Even some one-dimensional by the books villain like Ganondorf is more acceptable because at least villains like that don't try to pretend to be something else.

Don't preorder. It will be a worse version of 4 just like 4 was a worse version of three. Ubi will distract you with the massive advertising budget, it will sell like a fucking Harry Potter book and the world will take a step closer to the cataclysm

>>378402232
How is this not just as plausible?

>>378400927

Kooky cult leader is great when done well.

>>378401709

The Oregon occupation is a far cry (get it? A far cry?) from the shit that goes on in your typical Far Cry game. The idea that rural America is so far removed from law enforcement that it can sustain the amount of craziness that a Far Cry villain throws down for any period of time similar to the other games in the franchise is ridiculous.

That being said, it's not like Far Cry has cared about plausibility since the first game any way. The designers didn't vet Montana to make sure that a bad guy could plausibly start a home-grown self-governed military hell-hole there. They just picked it because they'd never put a game there before and thought it would be cool. Trying to rationalize how it could actually happen is putting more thought into it than Ubi ever did.

>>378398551
Primal was a different team.

>>378402257

>>378402639
I'm simple so I like cheesy Saturday morning "loves to be evil and seeks world domination" type villains, but as for one I think that's genuinely well-done? Ocelot from the MGS series. A lot of asspulls, retcons and pretenses in the whole of the MGS series but Ocelot is almost a perfect character regarding his motivations.

I have a heavy distaste for characters like Pagan Min because it feels like their unstable personality is easy appeal that's eaten up by the modern day Deadpool crowd.

>>378402953
Not really. You're able to suspend your disbelief easier because of past FarCries happening in places you've never heard of before, but once they bring the exact same crazy stories to a place you can relate easier, it's becomes harder for you to buy into the fantasy.

I'm not hype, but I am interested in this game. I like the setting, I like how the villains look, the idea of Aerial Dogfighting sounds dope, I like the player customization since the last two main Far Cry games Protags were not good. Of course I'm going to wait until reviews come out before I consider buying it, but overall I am very interested in this game.

>>378401897
OP didn't say anything about pre-ordering. Like I said, he and I are gonna wait for reviews like good little gamers and see if it's worth our time and money or not.

Am I the only one seeing Dennis from FC+ in the trailer? They are that lazy, so we get the SAME character models now? WTF is with these guys?

Primal was shat out by a handful of people, it wasn't resource intensive and very clearly not beta tested.

My friend, I am also hype as hell. I don't care if it's mostly a reskin of 4. 4 was the second best one and with the addition of a campaign built with co-op in mind, I say bring on the fucking reskin, bois.

>tfw it will be like Justified

I'm going to preface this by saying that I don't think its at all realistic, but it looks like they are at least trying to make it seem plausible. The shenanigans the villain gets up are, so far, kidnap, murder, arson and shooting up a plane, so its not like the national guard would be immediately alerted or something. I'm sure Ubisoft will conjure up some plot magic to explain it away that won't be too stupid, especially since they manage to dig up non retarded writers for farcry games.

I'm cautiously hyped for it, though I know the gameplay will be more of the same. Despite what faggots are saying, it looks like they're going the safe stereotype route with the NPCs; tuff country girl defending daddy's bar, badass black priest and guy defending his family, which is kinda disappointing and kinda relieving

Why? Who gets excited over cinematic trailers? Kids and Shills... that's it. FarCry games have been sandbox memes for a while now,

>>378409385
My guess is that you and some of your colleagues are sent in to investigate the rumors coming from Montana about a cult taking over. Not a whole lot of information is getting out because the cult has seized so much control of the county (including internet infrastructure I would assume).
You get immediately fucked upon entering the state, and one or more of your comrades are horribly murdered in front of your eyes. You escape in some unlikely fashion, probably with help from the resistance. Instead of escaping and reporting the severity of the problem, you decide to remain and go on a killing spree for *reasons*.

Honestly, I don't give a fuck. People looking for realism in a Far Cry game are very, very lost.

They're not. It's just Ubisoft reskinning the same game they've made 6-7 times already.

Except this time they made the new skin something 'controversial' so everyone talks about that, rather than about how you're paying $60 to climb up a radio tower and unlock the map which you've already done 500 times if you've played more than 3 of their games

>>378420365
From the start, maybe?

Primal probably didn't have the same dev team. Ubisoft's most likely doing a CoD-like developer cycle with their games.
Remember that games like these are made by tons of people. It's a product through and through, utilizing devs for hire. It's not a 20-person project.

FC1 is a neat unique little experience.
FC2 is honestly garbage in this day and age.
FC3 is really nice.
FC4 I personally didn't like but it's basically FC3 with some more stuff and a new map.
FC3 Blood Dragon is a fun little standalone expansion pack but it's nothing more than a reskinned tiny slice of FC3.
I didn't play Primal because it looked shitty.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut2amObEeks

They're also common in AssCreed and Watch Dogs games, and now they've come to Ghost Recon. They're just standard Ubisoft tropes they reuse and abuse with each game.

I think the villains will either be good or jorribly generic. There's no middleground for cultists nowadays. The setting looks boring too, but that's because I've been to enough places like that.

>>378420365

3 is considered the best here because /v/ has one hell of a boner for Vaas. 4 barely changed up the formula they made in 3, but I found the setting more interesting and the serial killer sidestory was entertaining.

>>378421016
>FC2 is honestly garbage in this day and age.
I hope you're kidding, it's by far the best one. No other game gave that feeling of being fucking stranded in the middle of bumfuckistan with everything around trying to kill you. Having to deal with limited ammo, ageing weapons, syrettes and malaria makes it all the more awesome. Plus the AI is top notch, destruction and fire actually work, and even the OST is good. For the record, I first played it two years ago, and I had a fucking blast.

But then someone thinking FC3 is "really nice" couldn't really have a good opinion I guess.

>>378421049
Right, ok then, keep on shilling bro

>>378421016
>FC2 is honestly garbage in this day and age

It has problems but it appeals more to the survival shooter crowd, whereas later Far Cry games are more of a tropical GTA.

I think that if Ubisoft took the FC 2 formula and worked on refining it a bit, it would be fucking great. The dynamic fire propagation is particularly good.

>>378420365
First game is a nice old-school shooter. Sequels have nothing to do with the original.

FC2 is surely the best, which is ideally played modded in hardest difficulty. It takes a lot of time, thinking and experimentation to master it, so that you can just waltz through the map gunning down everything efficiently like a fucking psychopath, but most people sat on the ground and cried because it was too hard and their strategies didn't work.

FC3 is Assassin's Creed 2 with guns. From that point the two series shared the same formula, which later spread to other titles. FC4 is more FC3. Primal is forgettable. FC5 looks like more of the same garbage.

Seriously, man? It's no harder than any of the later games, no matter what difficulty you're playing on. Unless you're using mods that give the enemies one shot kills, then anyone with at least half a brain isn't going to be having any problems.

So does 3, I'd recommend Surat Thani province in Thailand, have fun visiting plantations and getting abducted by drug lords.
4 makes so much sense it's boring, just people fighting over control of shit. See the recent Nepalese civil war, also Tibet.

5 is just stupid, but in seems in line with Ubisoft's ambition to make shittier and shittier games every year.

This.

The FBI (and other agencies, I'm sure) routinely embeds agents inside cults so they can monitor just what the fuck is going on.

The enemy factions in Far Cry number in the hundreds - there's no reason to assume that a violent evangelical militia can train and supply an army that large while staying off the radar of every major law enforcement agency in the country. It's fucking ridiculous. Suspension of disbelief can only take you so far.

Ubisoft have written themselves into a corner with this one.

Ubisoft Montreal is one of the largest game developers in the world, in terms of number of employees. I'm sure they were working on this before Primal was even released.

A FarCry similar to 2 with fire mechanics and a refined buddy system would be amazing. Imagine what they could do with the fire mechanics now considering that game came out like 10 years ago

>>378423225
ok, let me put it this way. The last 2 farcry games were based on situation that would never happen. South American Pirates take over a sizable pacific island and sell people? any Island chain that size and population has communication with the outside world, and likely relies on another country (USA, AUS ect) for naval power and defense. A gang leader takes over a whole country funded by his fathers gang, and his subordinate starts mining for ancient artifacts to seize their power.

The one thing these both have in common is that gunning down hundreds of their goons would have a huge effect. why would pirates stick around when about 500 of them have just been killed. The game would be over by the second act. Why would a warlords militia stick around when 100s of them have been mowed down, and a new power has taken over half the country. Whos paying the bills when they took over half the countries assets, including the drug trade.

If anything, FC5 is trying its best to be small scale and less over the top, given that they're just terrorizing a single town/county

>>378401709
Nothing really happened there, though.

Nothing wrong with those types of missions as long as they're not designed stupidly, like failing because you're not within some arbitrary range or the game thinking you lost sight of the target or even got too close for no reason whatsoever.

>The last 2 farcry games were based on situation that would never happen

There's a problem with your argument - you're applying the logic of real places to these locations that Ubisoft has made up.

The islands in Far Cry 3 aren't real. The country of Far Cry 4 (Kyrat) isn't real. The infrastructure, government, religions, standing military, law enforcement, technology level, population, etc of these places are all completely made up by Ubisoft. If they say "Kyrat is completely uninvolved with the outside world", then that's the way it is. It abides by the limits the creators set for it (up to a logical point - I wouldn't expect to be able to set off a dozen nukes without the rest of the world noticing).

By contrast, Montana is not a made up place. We know every fucking thing about it. Even a made up town is most likely going to be created along the same lines as any real life town in the state. Unless the beginning of the game informs us of a huge change in the status quo (like if America is in the midst of a civil war or something), then there's absolutely no way anyone can justify a lack of intervention by federal law enforcement.

America works a certain way - you can't seize control of a sizable part of a state, set up road blocks, checkpoints and outposts filled with armed men, and expect nobody to notice. Like I said, suspension of disbelief only goes so far.

>>378425543

Shit you should visit all of Thailand while you're at it, along with Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. You'll see 12yo girls walking the streets with the prices hanging around their neck, plantations whose workers are prisoners of drug cartels kept on a leash all day, and stay for a couple days and rent a place and mafia will come visit and ask money for your "protection".

You really think the world is one big happy place? People generally live in Europe and North America for a reason.

>how are they supposed to make this good
>with primal only coming out a little over a year ago?
You know how I know you're a shill? This place shat all over Primal when it came out and nobody liked it.

I wish I could still sage this fucking trash thread.

They'll probably make up some shit like the local police are a part of the cult. And do we know if this is present day yet? It would make more sense if it was like the 80s or some shit and not have cell phones or internet etc

>>378425570
I'd say that FC5 is doing the same thing on a smaller scale. Nepal had a civil war? Kyrat had a crazier one with gangsters and yetis and gods. Pacific Islands house pirates? They're making piles of corpses and setting slaves on fire. Cults do weird shit in America? They're taking over towns and shooting up planes.

>>378425940
You're missing the point. it makes no sense for Jason to go to Thailand and start shooting up, so they had to invent an island where they magically have a large enough population to fund hundreds of mercenaries and pirates, that also would be out of the way enough that their mass murder would go relatively unnoticed.

Where are these pacific Islands full of farcry shit, the countries you listed also are also decently popular tourist destinations, no one I know that went to Cambodia and Thailand saw minors for sale, I went to the Philippines and didn't see minors getting sold openly on the street, thats an island in the pacific. You got me on Laos, they might export all their females to for all I know.

>>378427036
>doing the same thing on a smaller scale
>doing the same thing

And that's the problem. The scale is irrelevant. It's what is happening that completely destroys any sense of a logical world.

I couldn't take over a fucking ice cream shop without having some SWAT sniper put a bullet in my head - why the hell are we supposed to believe that a violent cult can do the same thing to an entire town?

>>378427036
>You're missing the point
You are. The general concept is very real, but then the odds of a tourist shooting up a nation and magically surviving are the first bullshit part, the unlimited armies are just part of the logic of a video game.

Thailand may be a popular tourist destination, there's prostitution, drug production and plenty consumption, much crime and corruption. There's been several bomb attacks in tourist spots last year, which helped me get great deals on plane tickets with a transfer in Bangkok, and more recently. It IS a popular tourist destination, because it's cheap, it has beautiful beaches, old temples, food is good, and there's more girls than you can fuck in NEP and Soi Cowboy alone. But it is a shithole, where you don't want to stray too far from touristic areas. If you want the Farcry Experience™, I really recommend Surat Thani, the whole place is held by various mafias, police is corrupted, and it's just obvious as fuck.

And if you didn't see kids in the Philippines, I may have to question your eyesight, or your overly touristic travel plan.

>>378401330
Remember how the mayor of Berkeley didn't do shit about the riots because of his Antifa connections? Maybe it's something similar here. Perhaps implausible in real life but I can accept that in a video game.

>>378427563
How are you able to excuse these things happening on a national level but not on a state level? If you look at the general locations of the games, and break it down you realize that they could never get to that state, just like I'm sure that random town in Montana would never get to that state. But I don't think one scenario is more unlikely then the other

>>378428387
>they had to invent an island where they magically have a large enough population to fund hundreds of mercenaries and pirates, that also would be out of the way enough that their mass murder would go relatively unnoticed.

you said nothing in that paragraph you haven't said before, however, no, I didn't see any children for sale in the Philippines, maybe I'm not hitting up the right places, maybe I spent too much time in rural areas, maybe you're full of shit and you don't realize that, no, you can't go to a random island and fight large amounts of pirates and mercs, and if you did they'd probably run out if bodies after you killed the first 300, and that Surat Thani has nothing to do with it. let me repeat that for clarification, no, you can't go to a random island and fight large amounts of pirates and mercs, they'd run out of bodies after you killed the first 300

Not bad

>>378429217
>How are you able to excuse these things happening on a national level but not on a state level

Because Ubisoft excuses it. Like I said here >>378425570 the countries and locations in previous games are fictional places.

Let me put it this way - in order to argue that Vaas and his boss couldn't take over the islands where FC3 takes place, you would have to tell me the biggest obstacles in their way - namely, law enforcement and military. If it was a real place, you could look them up and tell me. But Ubisoft made up these locations, and established that whatever cops and soldiers they did have (if any) obviously weren't enough to prevent an armed takeover by pirates and mercenaries.

By using Montana and the U.S. as the setting for the 5th game, they have ensured they cannot use that same reasoning. So when I ask the question "What is stopping the cult from taking over a single town in Montana?" the answer is "The fucking United States government." As I stated before, unless they are going to establish that there has been a massive disruption of normal government operation, then there's no reason to assume that the FBI wouldn't be all over this situation before it even became a thing.

I can see your point, I really can, and I know that the comparisons aren't 1:1, but I just can't believe that making up a town in Montana and making up a reason that fc5 can even happen is less believable then conjuring up whole countries with connections to the world.

I might be wrong though, Ubisoft might just make it fully retarded and I wouldn't really be surprised.

No you won't run into fuckhuge armies, though we don't know just how big they can be. And no one goes shooting at people because that's generally a bad idea. But see numbers on Duterte's war on drugs in the Philippines, the estimations are as high as 7,000 dead for the whole country, and the drug production is still fucking on.

What I was referring to is the general idea: yes, there are dangerous areas in the world, held by criminals, where you can get abducted, tortured, raped, killed, You could see that in the Philippine (things certainly have changed now), and you can see that in Surat Thani, among other places.

FC2 had great atmosphere and very very nice environments but don't tell me that getting 5 meters away from an outpost and walking 5 steps back only to see that the entire outpost respawned, or being chased by vehicles that will shoot you eternally until your car breaks with no way for you to defend yourself is something you enjoyed. FC2 had concrete gameplay problems, it's not the story and atmosphere that were the issue.

>But then someone thinking FC3 is "really nice" couldn't really have a good opinion I guess.
fucking lmao kiddo
FC3 had better everything over FC2 other than the environment and some gimped mechanics such as fire mechanics that were now useless and no weapon degradation.

>>378424408
It's almost as if the Far Cry games aren't serious games tackling serious questions but just silly games with ridiculous storylines and decent gameplay.

>>378434097
>FC3 had better everything over FC2 other than the environment and some gimped mechanics such as fire mechanics that were now useless and no weapon degradation.
And retarded skill unlocking, awful selection of unbalanced weapons, boring hunting/gathering and crafting, abyssal AI, marking of enemies, running speed faster than cars, climbing towers, no downside to dying (but plenty upsides), terrible contextual controls, butchered story, terrible voice acting aside from Vaas, everyone is on drugs lmao, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, OH, AND ALL ENEMIES DISAPPEAR FROM THE FUCKING MAP ONCE YOU'VE CAPTURED ALL OUTPOSTS, MAKING GAMEPLAY COMPLETELY INEXISTANT.

You shouldn't post while on drugs anon. FC3 was FC2 with all the good features removed, and plenty casualization on top.
