    Well its not better than FC3 or even FC4 , the game is too repetitive, the AI is really bad, the environment that many people says its beautiful is almost the same the entire game. The first 6 hours you may be having fun but then you realize that ubisoft is making the same game over and over since 2012...

Но в отличии от великолепной Far cry 3, пятая часть имеет ужасный сюжет и концовки, после прохождения не хочется проходить игру повторно. Теперь место главного героя нам дают манекен, который не имеет ни чувств, не характера. Многие напарники настолько тупые что могут только мешать прохождению, например вы можете сесть на транспорт со стороны пассажира, тогда напарник моментально садится на место водителя и просто сидит, чтобы сесть на место водителя надо выйти из транспорта, сесть со стороны водителя, это очень тормозит игру. Игра очень легкая, нет ни одного момента который нельзя было бы пройти со второго раза, особенно с напарниками. Прокачка очень изменилась и теперь чтобы получить навык надо выполнить определённое действие. Транспорта стало больше, вертолёт выполнен прекрасно, на нём одно удовольствие летать, но самолёты это самый худший транспорт, он очень тяжёлый в управлении, что делает его бесполезным. Микротранзакции в игре присутствуют, они не навязчивые, но они ЕСТЬ в относительно однопользовательской игре. Графика в пятой части на высоте, что даже на средних настройках графики она выглядит сочно, ярко, и свежо. Игру можно порекомендовать тем кто либо не играл в Far cry вообще ил тем кто просто хочет убить время в простой игре со слабым сюжетом.… Expand

    Far cry 5 is what I consider to be a great game filled with many flaws. The AI are absolutely brain dead, which is unfortunately typical for Ubisoft titles.

The AI are absolutely brain dead, which is unfortunately typical for Ubisoft titles. The gun play is solid, so many will still garner enjoyment from slaying baddies, even if they are legally retarded. The stealth is super forgiving, which kind of sucks as far as having a challenge goes, but also enables even the most clumsy of pulling off potentially gratifying stealth takeovers.

    The graphics are good, but appear to have little to no improvement over Far cry 4, which I found disappointing. However, for me on a 1070 the game ran flawlessly on 1080p max settings with zero stutters or frame drop outs. The world is incredibly well done, having a very organic, life like feel that's fun to explore. Most side quests actually have engaging characters with unique story lines. Loot locations, which are essentially survivalist bunkers filled with goodies, aren't your typical go fetch this objective. They each have their own little puzzle in order to get inside which often comes with an entertaining mini-plot, which makes completing them a helluva lot more gratifying then what's oft seen in other Ubisoft titles.

    The characters are - well, nuts. Their back stories are horrific and this seems to be both the explanation and justification for their heinous behavior. If you're not a fan of really dark dialogue, you're going to find it way too over the top and unpleasantly disturbing. I personally found it captivating, even if the overall plot didn't really make a whole lot of sense. Since the antagonists are bat sh1t crazy, it's understandable that their motivations don't align well with a rational reality.

    What I didn't care for was the manner in which your main character interacts with the villains. Once you reach a certain point in progression, you just repeatedly get knocked out only to then awaken in the captivity of the cult king pins. This literally happens a dozen times throughout the game and gets repetitive real fast. It seems like a lazy way of progressing the story and gives the main cult leaders an unexplained air of supernatural divinity. In other words, they can do with you whatever they want, whenever they want, but this runs extremely counter to your sense of agency and objective. It's like the entire game wants to keep reminding you that there's really no good reason for you to bother trying since you're just a mere mortal playing hero at the mercy of the gods. I didn't find that narrative to be particularly satisfying, so I mainly tried to ignore it.

    The endings basically reinforce this message of futility. Whereas some will find them commendable, others will find them disappointing. I was personally left with a profound sense of dissatisfaction that really took away from my overall experience of the game, but this appears to be the sentiment Ubisoft was gunning for all along anyways.

    As a final note, your character doesn't talk at all. This is a trope I've disliked in games from the beginning. The Master Chief doesn't talk a whole lot, but you do have a sense of what kind of person he is. Your character in FC5 is just an empty shell, being lead along from one checkpoint to the next, doing little more than observing the show. It makes the character you're playing seem really dense to the point of mindlessness. You're just a powerless pawn doing what the game wants you to do, whether that be good for your character or not. And in the end, whatever choices you appear to have really aren't choices at all. Anarchic nihilism is at the heart of this game's soul. Which is unfortunate considering the vibrancy with which the main characters and open world have.    … Expand

    Far Cry 5 starts with a few promising moments that hint towards a worthwhile experience. Yet the closer the player's journey comes to an end, the clearer the game's unforgivable missteps get.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok, so I just started playing and admit I could only make it through to the first safe house with the bald man before I wanted to come start this review, I'll update it later but something already glaring in my mind I wanted to get off my chest. The graphics are pretty cool so far, and im enjoying myself..so I'll give it a 7/10 to begin with. However, as of right now the story already starts off making 0 sense. Small spoiler ahead...You start off going to arrest a guy with a federal warrant whose surrounded by a bunch of cultists with guns in a compound...you have a local sheriff with you that fills in the lead US marshal that the guy you're going to arrest is a cult leader, has heavy followers with guns, and pleads with you to reconsider as its going to be dangerous...LETS STOP RIGHT THERE. First off, you're a FEDERAL Marshal, therefor you have a FEDERAL boss that would be expecting you to check in at some point. When the local sheriff announces all these problems to you, a FEDERAL agent would def. call in backup to begin with. So the whole "nobodies coming to save you" and 4 people going in to arrest this cult leader makes 0 sense..the national guard/army/swat team would have been called in for backup. Story fails from beginning, so i'm taking off 3 ticks for that alone. I'll update this when/if I ever finish this already ridiculous story or anything else starts to deduct from my now 7/10 score. Thanks. **update** I've removed 2 bars (now 5/10) due to starting to see all the repetitive filler added for nothing other than some joker's idea of "content" or "fun". Also the enemy AI is pathetic...its literally a 0 challenge effort on the dev's part. This series needs a long break or wait 2-3 years in between and add worthwhile content.… Expand

    5. all npc's when you punch them they die, why don't you make is a random generated strength that some die instantly and others are much more problem to deal with and some fall and run away, some pretend to die and then come after you, some try to grab your gun/rifle and a fight scene happens! or they come from behind (one or a group) whenever this is possible (don't be boring!!!)

    - Awsome graphics
    - Big & beautiful open world full of life
    - lots of missions & activities
    - The gameplay is solid as usual, it contains all the gameplay elements of the old far cry games with 1
    or 2 new things, which is great cuz if something is good then keep it running.
    - the companions addition is great for the gameplay, u can be strategic in ur gameplay in many ways.

    Cons - minor spoilers alert!!
    - The stupidest most awful story ever in the history of far cry, or ubisoft, or videogames, or mankind.
    - The entire game & characters have the stupidest logic ever, there was many ways to solve their problem in much easier ways & end that stupid cult, but for the sake of the stupid game they decided to fight back the cult, not using a freakin plane or helicopter to flee out & call the freakin national guard. Personally, I felt putting up with all the **** the story & the character brought was un-digestible.
    - Boring main characters with no depth what so ever & easily forgettable.
    - Weak conversation that makes u detached to most of the game's characters or events.
    - The mission system is creative. However, the implementation of it is the worst!!! the entire games feels like side missions that fills boss meters to a certain degree to enter main cinematic scene or main mission three times before the boss fight.
    - once the boss meter is filled to 1/4 , 2/4, 3/4 or 4/4 u will be forced to do the main mission, regardless of where u are, with whom or what are you doing, even if u r in a freaking plane in the sky, the boss hunting team will manage to hunt u down.
    -The games bosses hunts u down 10 times through the game!!!! 11 times based on ur choices, who told ubisoft that this is a good idea??? the idea that ur enemy manage to catch u 11 times where ur life is in their hands & u still manage to kill all of them (will, most of them!!) doesn't feel right at all, & makes u feel that nothing u do matters, no matter how many enemies u killed, or camps u free, ur enemies will hunt u any time they want.

    - the bosses are stupid & annoying, specially Faith!!!!. Please give me the opportunity to make the them shut up in their moments before they die, I don't want to hear an **** that I wanna kill so bad to speak his mind. & give me the opportunity to kill Faith slowly & painfully for every irritating moment she gave to me. & pls developers of the entertainment industry, stop trying to give women reasons for why they are with the bad guys, stop trying to make us sympathies with evil female characters. women can be evil too & deserve to be torn apart for what they did, so stop victimizing women!

I also didn't enjoy racing side missions, but there are just few of them, hopefully. It must be emphasised that graphics and audio are really awesome. Weapons customisations is also good.

The pre-release co-op feature turned out a big hoax and was nothing like what I consider a fully cooperative game to be.

    a few bugs but the gameplay story and everything was fun through out i 100%ed the game i hear alot of complaints about the ending but i for one disagree and think the ending was **** great there is a lot of chaos so i would recommend doing more of the side missions after you do the main story for a region when it is alot calmer i like how they did that it makes sense the guns for hire wasa few bugs but the gameplay story and everything was fun through out i 100%ed the game i hear alot of complaints about the ending but i for one disagree and think the ending was **** great there is a lot of chaos so i would recommend doing more of the side missions after you do the main story for a region when it is alot calmer i like how they did that it makes sense the guns for hire was really fun i enjoyed being able to switch out characters plus trying to revive them to avoid the death timer on them was a fun mechanic this was the best far cry in my opinion… Expand

    The worst Far Cry. I've been playing Far Cry since third part. It seems that the game goes down. There are some positive moments:
    1: Aviation. I was glad to drive a plane and helicopter! it was really needed in the past.
    2: Teammates. Awesome to play with them. There were no stupid natives with simple guns. Let's admit that in past parts they were cannon fodder for your enemies. 3:    The worst Far Cry.

    2: Teammates. Awesome to play with them. There were no stupid natives with simple guns. Let's admit that in past parts they were cannon fodder for your enemies.
    3: Fishing. Aw yeah, that's really good thing. Shooting can annoy. It is really relaxing.
    4: Prepper Stashes. Interesting mini-quests.
    Negative moments:
    1: Who is the main character? It seems that i'm playing for a robot without emotions, problems, his own history, type of character, thoughts. It is bot which we just control. That's awful!
    2: Against whom we play?? I can't feel any emotions against! No hate, no anger. Lets compare with Far Cry 3. I hated Vaas and Hoyt. In fourth it was Yuma. Here is no one to hate.
    3: Millions of stupid enemies everywhere. I can't simply drive a car because every 100 meters i am under attack. That's really annoying.
    4: Sniper rilfes are awful. The problem is that they are neccesary.
    5: So big map and so small number of outposts. It is interesting to take them. [Subjectively]
    Conclusion:
    It is dissapointing that the great series of games is degrading. If we could sum the gameplay in Far Cry 5 (without sniper rilfes) and plot in Far Cry 3, the result would be awesome. I wish Ubisoft will make the awesome sixth part. I will wait for it

    I thus far have never been compelled to leave a review on metacritic, but do after finishing this game. It is a beautiful game that promises much in terms of open-world freedom of choice, but then belies that promise continually throughout its narrative. The culmination of this terrible juxtaposition between freedom of gameplay and railing of narrative is at the end of the game.

The culmination of this terrible juxtaposition between freedom of gameplay and railing of narrative is at the end of the game. Do not purchase this game unless you do not, in to any degree whatsoever, care about the story. It is a great open-world shooter with beautiful geography. But great work by the level designers is severely diminished by the poor, shallow character-building. And I'm not even talking about the typical game journalist critique of this game, which I happen to agree with, that it has the opportunity to speak to the present political moment. I'm leaving that critique aside and only talking about the game itself here.… Expand

    This game is one of the most overpriced BS game that i have ever witnessed. Dialogue, storytelling, characters all of them are so badly written and directed, whenever game puts me on a cutscene i just take out my headphone and alt-tab (this is legit my reaction not exaggaration) waiting for cutscene to end. It is almost as if i am in physical pain from watching this trash. And better yet,This game is one of the most overpriced BS game that i have ever witnessed.

It is almost as if i am in physical pain from watching this trash. And better yet, you CANNOT SKIP CUTSCENES. Especially when game smashes you in the face with 30 minutes non-stop cutscene at the very start, i think i will need anger management therapy after this game.

    Now the thing other people will praise you about: the combat. **** lies, it is sub-par, i repeat subpar. I have played 15+ year old fps games that felt better when shooting something. You just dont feel the reaction and consequence of firing, its weak. Enemy AI is just **** taking cover etc has absolutely has no effect on how often enemy hits you. They just periodically damage you, whether you only show a pinky or just stand still like a cabbage on a field. Combat is so horribly made, there is literally no skill involved. Being an average shooter will be only a little different than being a great shot.

    There is only 1 area where game is good, that is as usual with AAA titles, the graphics. And thats how these companies lure you, in order to con you into thinking this is a beautiful great game. And it is beautiful looking, but also empty and meaningless. Save your dollars, buy some other game. Noone should play this crap. I am facepalming so hard, after playing Doom this game feels so, so bad.    … Expand

    The fifth installment to the Far Cry series brings a whole lotta new and whole lotta the same. The setting is finally set in an American state with everything that screams "AMERICA!".

The setting is finally set in an American state with everything that screams "AMERICA!". From big guns to big trucks and tractors. Finally a game in redneck country... but with a cult! The gameplay is about the same from Far Cry 4 if you played that one then don't expect too much difference in style. You could argue it is a copy and paste but every game tries to hold some signature style to feel like their own game. Honestly it does feel and play like a Far Cry and there are some differences. Especially knocking cultists with shovels. That's a keeper. The AI from what you may heard is pretty bad. There isn't really any skill but it makes sense as they are just psychotic rednecks running around with guns and trucks with guns and planes with guns. You get it. It is a militia I wouldn't expect skill except from sharpshooters or hunters. It only gets hard as they call more from their psychotic wolf pack and bring in more gun blazing cultists. Now the scenery is where it strikes gold for me. It is just wonderful to look at. Sometimes I just sit back and enjoy a cold one looking at the beautiful landscape the developers created for us as the cultists drive mad on the roads running over anything that crosses them, but I choose to see the beauty in this world. I mean once you explore it you will think "have you seen anything so full of splendor?" I haven't. Not in any Far Cry before. This game without a doubt has the best scenery this year and that is where it ends unfortunately in terms of winning any awards. The story is somewhat stale as you kill your way to finding the father instead of your son who turns out to be waaaay older than you and runs a company of robots. Anyways, I do like the way that you feel trapped and stranded, like most Far Cry games. The villian or (villians should I say) are a "family" and you follow it like a family tree; which is like a nice feel except I've seen it before in another Ubi game...Anywho the Father (Joseph Seed) is very interesting but nothing as insane like Vaas in the 3rd game. I wonder if he knows the definition of insanity... but the ending is where it is very controversial besides the whole cult thing. It is an ending you may not like and it isn't very rewarding. However when I went through it there were two endings (plus a secret one I wish I took) and I of course picked the bad ending cause who the hell picks the good? I just freaking killed half the cult like a purple god with a gold freaking gauntlet! Nothing is going to be good! Anyways it gets pretty weird pretty quick, and of course nonsensical, or at least thats how I took it when I played through it. Now I'm not going to spoil what it is because I want anybody who is reading this that hasn't played it play it because despite the similar Far Cry 4 gameplay feel, it is still a good game. What I am going to say is that the endings will result in frustration and I think it is somewhat satisfying. It leaves you wanting more and leaving with the question "What the F**k just happened?" It may not be the ending people always get in a Far Cry game but I think that is the point. It is refreshing as you leave with frustration but also being mind blown. Going in with expectations with somewhat of a reward of killing someone, oops spoilers, is what will bring you down. But there is plenty of other games with this reward so I am one of the few, maybe only, that is happy it didn't end the way we all expect in a Far Cry game and that was the point. A twist ending in a small little county in a valley full of freaking land and little civilization. Everything executed well for me except the hunting. The last thing I'll say is the hunting is very disappointing as it has changed from the previous games which is very frustrating. And a frustration that is not to be accepted with. (SPOILER) the hunting in this game shows no cutting animation like 3 or 4 or Primal. After killing the animal you wasted so much time chasing for and pressing the loot button, it leaves you with a already gutted animal. Shame. In a world full of wildlife and a setting where hunting should be priority number 1 it is very disappointing. The hunting should've been either the same or better than whatever lazy sh*t they did cause this beautiful landscape is the perfect place for hunting as the environment is very embracing of having the feel of being in the wild, more so than any other Far Cry. But oh well, maybe next time. The whole hunting aspect is the most stale part in a game where it would make sense to be the necessity of surviving and not just for money to buy stupid skins and silly redneck clothes to impress your fellow rednecks and partner. Anyways I give it a 8/10 because it still satisfies in terms of straight out action like any other Far Cry.… Expand

    Far Cry 5 is a nice and funny FPS that you’ll enjoy most in co-op. The well-proven concept would deserve a rejuvenation and adding a story that is adequate to the rest of the game. [Issue#285]

    This fresh take on the Far Cry franchise is clearly visible content-wise, but a tad more discrete on the style. If you're not bothered by the slightly repetitive formula, you'll enjoy the many strengths of this episode.

    Far Cry 5 doesn’t propel the series forward — it just refines all of its elements and relegates the infamous towers to the dustbin of history. So if you‘re allergic to open worlds from Ubisoft, don’t say I didn’t warn you. But if you’re eager to meet new wacky characters, complete dozens of missions and enjoy the sights, welcome to Hope County, sinners!
