If I have never played a single FarCry game before, would this be a good one to get in on? Have a few friends that want to get into it this weekend.

It's my first one and I love it. Take that as you will.

Testy festie owns, haven't laughed a game like that in a while on the 2nd part.

Yes. Best one in the series so far, and they're easy to get into. No FarCry game is tied to any other. Playing co-op is also a lot of fun (max two people I think), but remember that world progress only saves on the host of the game. The player joining is counted as a follower. They do get character progression (money, perks, challenge unlocks and the likes), but no story progression for their own game. If that is not a problem though, you can co-op the entire game.

Multiple people can play in the "Arcade" multiplayer section (user created maps).

Feels weird to hear about all this humor that they've tossed in the game when I just played through Blood Dragon again a couple weeks ago and was wondering why Ubi hadn't done anything else funny since then.

I haven't played Farcry since the original one. Looks like I'll have to grab this one.

how many attempts did that take?

keyboard or controller?

Mouse and keyboard. Took maybe 5-7? Had to get used to the steering and finally settled on not touching the mouse at all. For some reason the hardest part for me was the one under the bridge, kept being barely too high and clipping the bottom with top of plane.

But it was worth all the attempts just to jam out to the theme song.

Can’t disagree there. It is the worst controlled vehicle by far imo.

That seems pretty strong. Far Cry 3 was amazing. Vaas is one of the best villains of all time.

In totality of the circumstances, in my opinion, it blows them all out of the water. From the writing, the characters, the voice acting is TOP NOTCH, the gameplay itself, the graphics and sound deployment, Far Cry Arcade, Clutch Nixon (Seriously, you have to see this part of the game), the creativity an varied mission structure, the way you need to speak to NPC's to get the side quests and listen to the story (Which is always good).. I could go on and on here, but what I am talking about is really the entire package. Before in 3, 4 and Primal, it was "Go climb this and oh hey there is a whole bunch of little icons all over a map which don't mean a thing to the world".... How, it definitely isn't like that.

But there isn't a Far Cry I have played yet with so much mission diversity. It's absolutely fantastic.

watch dogs 2 was supposed to be a funny game, and some of the silicon valley stuff was funny, but it was way too edge lord for most people

south park fractured but whole is a ubi game now as was mario rabbids which was fun/weird

I'm wondering if I have a bug?
I've only killed John so far, but all the NPCs in Faith's region are saying that they're happy that faith is gone. And I'm past the first 3rd of the region bar(?) and I haven't been kidnapped? I did have a trip out scene pretty much once I entered the region though.

yeah i got BTFO'd by a turkey in game. bears, turkeys, wolves, and cougars are constantly fucking your shit up. The predators will also hunt and start killing deer. You have animal bait you can throw out and it hilariously almost immediately attracts a random predator, throwing it out near humans makes for a lot of funny moments

Gorgeous game so far, gunplay feels a bit loose.

One feature I hate in all FPSs is where you're a huge bad ass, but you always get captured and lose all your guns/money etc as part of the story. Happens in pretty much every FPS.

This one I seem to constantly get hunted/captured, and again lose my stuff. It happens right in the middle of friendly compounds, and even while I was flying a helicopter (lol?)

What... what am I doing wrong?

NM, figured it out. Not a fan of that mechanic, much less running the same timed mission each time it happens =\ But I have to advance the story I suppose ;)
