Ubisoft FarCry 5 'are you ready' thread just shown up....

currently 85% through and enjoyed it, i gotta agree with the above about the pathetic amount of guns etc to choose from.

Sit and wait for NG+ to arrive like those of us who've been waiting since the first week of release. There is a mod on Nexus mods that massively reduces the resistance points awarded so the flawed bar take a longer to fill. It does work but I'd prefer a proper fix.

I've been playing AC: Origins over the past week or so. Racked up 60hrs finishing the main campaign and a further 40hrs on the two dlc. Absolutely makes FC5 look tame when it took me just 25hrs to finish.

I played it to death and then discovered some of the excellent maps in the single player Arcade section, look for maps that have been rated with 4 or 5 stars, one of the outpost maps of a walled medieval Islamic town had me replaying it over and over as it was great fun being hunted as I crept about the rooftops sniping, 45 enemies in that one
 
Great I thought the Arcade section was just multiplayer not looked into that much. Might have a gander now ! I bought the season pass for £16 and I've got the Vietnam one but not played it yet. I do agree I seemed to have got pushed too quickly to the end. The bit where you kept going into that "live" shooting range dream sequence which was all red and evil was really annoying

When you load Arcade then make sure you select ' browse solo & co-op maps' if you don't it will auto select a map. Going by how many stars the map has rated can be misleading because it depends how many have played it but you can select to search for top rated solo maps and there are hundreds
I played one with just two stars but it had only been downloaded 9 times and it was quite good so i added a vote.
The best so far for me is 'Medina'

Can't believe I've just spent 2 minutes in game sorting through various piles of dog **** to find a key which one of the dogs ate, credit to the devs for a memorable but hopefully once in a lifetime experience :)

Finished the game after 26 hours, in the end I got fed up of dragging it out and just went for missions that I knew would lead me to the conclusion, at least I had the motivation to complete the game which I didn't have with Far Cry Primal.

Apart from the original, FC3 has to be my favorite, it had the best balance of far fetched but believable story-line, player freedom and really charismatic protagonists. FC5 felt much more scripted, I couldn't really identify with any of the in game characters (friend or foe) that you were forced to encounter, and I didn't have the freedom to complete the map / missions how I wanted to. There were some memorable moments and the diversity of mission types was a plus but I'm much more likely to replay FC3 than I am FC5.
 
Just finished. Really enjoyed it. Loved the ending! Took me 38 hours, mainly because I rarely fast travel within a region.

Different feel to other FC games, felt more open world to me. Never had any issues with the progression system- it seemed to let me do all the missions even after I'd freed a region, so I don't think I've missed out on anything.

Have reset all the outposts, but I kinda miss the chaos on the roads when the cultists were around. Might start again :)
