If you don't like mainstream AAA titles, as you have made plainly clear, why are you in this thread? What do you hope to gain?
There has never been such a vast array of choice in games for people that don't like AAA....what is there to moan about?

Exactly. Theres so much to play these days I dont get what the problem is. Find something you want to play and play it. Theres plenty people who want to play AAA games and love doing so so how bad is it really?

How many of you have noticed the shadow slider is back to front? Watch as you move the slider to ultra & the shadows become blurry & weak, move it to low & the shadows are fully defined so the low is actually high & vice versa. It's been pointed out on Ubisoft forum but the recent patch did not give a fix for it

The whole game is back to front

Did notice that and was a tad puzzled. I just slapped it on normal as I'm not too fussed.How many of you have noticed the shadow slider is back to front?

It's not about not being able to find something to play, it's the principle and the direction the industry is being taken in... I don't "hate AAA games" and have played many in the past, but that's changing the more they continue this way and that's a damn shame... There's nothing wrong with hoping for better quality rather than just accepting what they give us...

28hrs played, 100% completed from what I can see LOL. Pales in comparison to FC4, where I have 80hrs played and still quests left over. Still had a great journey regardless and I am tempted to reset outposts just for the sake of it as there isn't much else left to do.

Hugely enjoyed that because most of the locations for them have a safe and a skill book

I’m stuck on a story mission, the one where you need to find and hijack two fuel tankers. Is there a particular area to find them in or is it just a case of randomly flying around in a chopper trying to spot one?
Yes it is. You just have to fly or drive around until you see one and hijack it without blowing it up.
Also helps to have the auto repair of vehicles perk. Any mission where you have to destroy vehicles, like
drug boats and drug trucks work the same way. Seek and destroy, no pointers.

Cool, cheers. When scouring the landscape for the tankers using a helo, there seems to be a glitch. You can spot a tanker and then descend to land safely slightly ahead of it, get out the chopper, turn to face the tanker..............and the tanker has vanished. 
If anyone wanted Reshade with this, I can confirm that 3.0.8 downloaded and installed the effects without issue. https://www.mediafire.com/folder/8ar1jhh1809cl/ReShade_Repository#bow1ko4203njp Near the bottom.
Just finished this and to be honest it was a bit of a disappointment very strange ending and I felt the final area was a bit of an add on as it was pretty much the same as the other two.
Having to fight the bosses when the game decided, I use the term boss lightly was annoying. And the first one was a real pain with an aeroplane that flew like a bag of potatoes. I actually crashed into his plane which ended that fight rather neatly because if I needed to shoot him down I would still be at it.
Not sure if there is any replay value though I did very few of the driving challenges and there are a few minor side missions that I did not do.
Yet again I found that once I had four weapons I was happy with I did not bother with the rest, rarely used a companion though the bear was fun for a short while, and did not use any of the chemicals etc in my menu but I find that happens in so many games.
Overall even for me this game was too easy in fact I cannot think of a challenge bar the plane. Fun for a while though.

Gone back into the game a couple of times after completing the campaign but I just find myself wandering about with a lack of anything interesting to do.
I may go around looking for all of the collectables or grind the fishing activity to beat each region's record if I feel desperate for something to kill time, the fishing is a bit dull once you have the third rod as there's zero challenge with that one.
I guess they're expecting us spend lots of time in the the arcade once we finish the campaign.

Not much replay value when it comes to the Farcry games even more disappointing is how short Farcry 5 is. This game is more like an expansion pack for Farcry 4.

There's only been one patch and it wasn't really a bug fix lol. We've yet to hear from ubisoft about the state of things and their fix solutions.
Just finished my first region, John Seeds area. I didn't mind the last fight, I had Nick Rye as a partner and he did a decent amount of damage which was handy. Actually having Nick Rye on your side is quite fun as you can get him to bomb targets from the air which is great for road blocks/tankers etc. Overall I like this game a lot, probably my favorite FC so far although Vaas in FC3 was a far more convincing bad guy.
