It’s still a shallow sandbox compared to Just Cause 4 and GTA5.

Far cry 5 is just far cry 3 with a less compelling antagonist and 40 hour game? Are you serious? I’ve finished the campaign already in about 10 and if you don’t count the broken segments like John Seed’s last mission and the one with the helicopter that just wouldn’t land you can shave about 2 hours off that. There…

I believe it’s the television edit of the footage from two different concerts, one being Live Aid with Freddie’s iconic jacket and no Bowie

Were you the bad guy in 3?

“The ending is just an expansion of this, it can’t bring itself to actually condemn religious nutters so has it suddenly *gasp* Joseph was right... sort of.”

I have consistently found Fallout far more compelling than Far Cry and that hasn’t changed in a direct comparison of Fallout 4 vs Far Cry 5 (which I just finished).

Skyrim with laser, of course.

This is not uncommon. Sequels often try to emulate the success of it’s predecessors without understanding what factors made the game successful. Ubistoft games are just too formulaic and the largest factor of Far Cry 3 and 4's success were the amazing performances of Vaas and Min and not the core game mechanics.

Far Cry 5- a story told entirely through kidnappings.

They are doing the DLC thing so if there is enough of a demand for it they could easily do a FC2 DLC or put it in the Far Cry Arcade.

“I read ridiculous number of Hardy Boys books as a kid”

They died a coward’s death, as do all suicide terrorists.

I don’t care that you don’t like it. You are claiming the game doesn’t have depth which is a statement that can easily be proven wrong.

Throw them all in Gitmo.

The Princes of the Universe

Actually that’s pretty spot on for the Hardy Boys down to the hair color and clothes.

Oh, Bill Maher is also the worst, just on the other side of the political spectrum.

To put it into context

I believe weapon unlocks are tied to progress in all areas (reach rank 3 with blah blah blah) but there are plenty of mission related rewards like the vehicles and it’s just far more efficient to clear out the local zone so that’s how I do it.
