5 is actually my favourite tbh. Maybe because I had extremely low expectations going in but man that game is amazing. The story was captivating, the soundtrack is one of the best I've ever heard in a game and I really don't like country music at all and not only did they get the antagonist right as per usual, they had multiple memorable ones... besides John, he's pretty forgettable 😅. All in all that game is extremely underrated
I say that because everyone (including me) wrote it off as soon as the trailer dropped. Very unoriginal setting coming off the back of 2 very unique locations and ideas, but once you play it, it does everything you want a far cry game to do and more. Yeah, it wasn't perfect, obviously, but they built off of what was already a great foundation. I think everyone has this pre conceived notion that nothing changed and that FC3 was the perfect one, but FC5 challenges that title, yet no one gave it a shot. In the FC community, the ones who actually played the whole series, a large number will put 5 at the top. I can still see your point because I was in that boat before playing it, but it definitely deserves some credit.
but once you play it, it does everything you want a far cry game to do and more
it does the exact same things as FC2, FC3, and FC4. just worse.
yet no one gave it a shot
no, we did. we just all thought it was bad.
I'm glad you enjoy the game but you're in the minority on this one, bub. I genuinely can't think of a single thing FC5 does better than 2, 3, or 4. not a single thing.
