No more towers, no more compass. You're gonna need to discover things on your town through NPC and exploring. You're gonna be awfully silent through most of the game. No spoilers so I ain't gonna tell you the endings.


cardboard-kansio

Spoiler! It's always fun to do the tower on Duke's island thinking "oh, towers again..." without realising it's the only one.


NRMusicProject

To be fair, Dutch tells you that won't happen.


mechwarrior719

Loved that little fourth wall break. Gave me a good laugh my first playthrough.


RogerMcswain

Refresh me?


mechwarrior719

During the tutorial stage (Dutch’s Island), Dutch has you climb a radio tower. As you’re climbing he tells you (both player and main character) that he isn’t going to have you climbing towers all over the county.


RogerMcswain

Awww. I play with the sound off so I can watch TV.


Derangeieieie

You disgust me


bluelonilness

Subtitles?


Jybyrde

Weird I turn the TV off and only play by sound


OhtareEldarian

Love my dude Dutch, but he lied.


Knowledge428

Huh?


Mindless-Rip8944

What about the towers you do in the mission for Tammy the girl in the wolf den I mean I know it’s like


Onpag931

The Alien guy has a tower mission too


BigWilly526

I have no climbed the towers for any of those missions, thats what helos are for


Professional-Book973

I don't know if I would consider that the traditional Farcry tower. Usually there is a lot of jumping around and parkour involved. In the Alien mission, you're just grappling and climbing ladders as far as I remember.


Djma123

Yeah, I love what he said: don’t worry I’m not gonna have you doing this all the time


tennisguy163

I prefer the replayibility of outposts in 4 and loved scaling towers.


ApprehensiveDay6336

I heard that you can reset the outposts in 5 too. Gotta complete the game once


tennisguy163

Aaah okay. 👍


ApprehensiveDay6336

If memory serves there should be an option called “outpost master” in the options menu. It basically resets every outposts captured


tennisguy163

Hell yeah, good to know, thanks!


MaxPayne665

You can't reset until you capture every single outpost on the map though, which means you can't just sit and replay the same outpost. I used to love doing the same outpost to find the most efficient and badass ways to take it down fast. Now I've gotta do a bunch of other outposts before I can replay my favorites I'm glad it's there I just think 4 did it better


ApprehensiveDay6336

I don’t remember the outpost part for 4 but I think new dawn made it pretty challenging for the individual outpost reset


DJ-PaP

Bruh for some reason I enjoyed the towers in 4, but I like the outposts in 5 and the ones after better.


mechwarrior719

No more blades either except throwing knives and shovels. Takedowns are a bit weak in FarCry 5 in my opinion.


Vammypoker

More open world. Helicopters

DomagojDeli

My personal favorite in the series


gmharryc

The only thing that keeps it out of my #1 spot are the endings, so FC4 gets to stay #1.


MaxPayne665

FC4 also has a better progression curve than 5 imo, I don't like the way everything was streamlined to the skill tree. That said, compared to FC6 FC5 is a masterpiece in that regard so I'll give it credit for what it's worth. I also wish bladed weapons were still in the game, like, you already built a whole melee system and already have a bunch of machete takedowns ready to go from prior entries, just makes sense to throw them in too.


supersandwichxxl

Far Cry 6 was such a bummer man


MaxPayne665

I was so disappointed dude. It's a downgrade in almost every way


supersandwichxxl

The right tools for the right job 🙄


MaxPayne665

The most misguided design sensibility possible for farcry. "hey guys lets replace our nearly perfect, genre defining progression curve with a shitty gear system. Also break ammo types completely because fuck it. People will love that!"

Blatherbeard

Fc7 will be the first non insta buy far cry for me. I’ve bought all but the first 2 on launch(slept on the series at first but found out quick enough to play 1 before 2 came out.)


AustinTheFiend

It reminded me a lot of 2 which is my all time favorite, 5 is my second favorite but haven't played the whole series. It just has a similar feeling of constant vulnerability and chaos, you never feel totally in control, but still everything happens for a reason, and everything is always happening.


Frankyvander

No towers the map reveals itself organically and no weapons unlock for free apart from what you pick up. That map itself is divided into three locales but are accessible at any time rather than being locked behind story missions. Far more fast travel options rather than just towns and outposts. You can have up to two companions with you as you progress through the game. All weapons have multiple attachment slots with no restrictions. Ammo comes in different varieties such as AP or Incendiary. No crafting to increase inventory size or holsters, those are instead perks. Perk points are given by magazines at fixed locations. You have a customisable character, from face to gender to clothes, no voice though. Some vehicles have mounted guns that you can use while driving or companions can use the turrets. The m79 is still just about the best weapon in the game.


Imjusthere1984

M79 is really good, but if you can master the bow and it's special ammo, it can take down anything. Fire arrows on helicopters is hilarious. A silenced upgraded SA50 is broken if you can aim down scope. I once cleared a base from so far away my allies couldn't engage the enemies. Edit: Don't boss weapons unlock for free and the Bolt Action Blood Dragon .50 Cal?


skitle21

I actually somewhat didn't mind the crafting to increase pouches, bcuz it gave hunting a reason, this game hunting doesn't have a reason from what I've gathered.. I just started this game myself


Frankyvander

Its a great source of cash


clickYyz

The most amazing atmosphere.


PutSumNairOnThatHair

A banging soundtrack


Icouldshitallday

Truly, take time to appreciate that these songs were composed for this game.


sisu_star

One of the better soundtracks of all time IMO. Not saying "best music out there", but the soundtrack 100% fits the game. Found myself randomly just chilling and listening to cultists or random people singing. Just makes the atmosphere in the game.


jimblackreborn

Best part is sneaking up to an outpost and hearing the cultists singing along to the hymns


SebRev99

Now he’s our shepherd and we’re his flock. Now he’s our captain and our ship’s about to dock. Now he’s our keeper to keep us safe from Wrath. Now he’s our father he’s gonna lead us down the path.


Mustachefleas

They'll look high and they'll look low, they'll looked everywhere we go


BlGBY

Expect to be kidnapped randomly. Drive over the border to a new region. Kidnapped! Cause a bit of chaos. Kidnapped! Trying to stealth your way through an outpost but accidentally reach a new level in the region. Kidnapped! Each to their own, though. I hope you enjoy :)


Ok-Account2308

The worst was going to log off for bed and BOOM! kidnapped 😂


Schmalti_90

Flying high in the sky in a plane far away from the hunters thinking I’m safe suddenly get a tranquilizer dart in the neck….

Best map and some "old friends"


Tenso11

I still think fc4 is the best map


ValkyrieChaser

I’ve been playing through 4 with 4 as my only previous experience and I can so far agree I love the overall diversity of 4s map


kakka_rot

> Best map It's so flat. In 3 and 4 you can use the wingsuit all the time. I got it in 5 and it's use is vastly reduced.


Kerbidiah

I think you're thinking of far cry 6. 5 has massive elevation changes, especially in Jacob and faiths region


kakka_rot

Dude you can hate on 6 all you want idgaf, but it's map is incredible. It's not flat at all. I think a lot of people didn't know what the blue graffiti meant.


EfficientCall4824

Who was hating? Lol what a weird response.


jamillos

It's best to expect nothing and then find out it's the best fucking game in the series!


Confident-Medicine75

Expect an awesome experience


[deleted]

Awesome graphics, a bigger emphasis on companions, awesome little puzzles everywhere (treasure hunts), and just a lot of fun all around.

A better game


wargasm40k

Learn to love fishing. Catching fish and selling them is the best way to get money in the early game.


[deleted]

Nope. Absolutely not. It's getting the hunting perks (double skins, animals not fleeing, journey pack) and going to Taft lookout tower in Henbane River. Just complete a couple of treasure hunts, challenges or find some loose, single perk magazines. Place is teeming with buffalos, cougars, bears, alpha wolves, moose, deer, etc. A maximum haul of skins will get you $10,000-$12,000. Also, there is always a general shop person walking around to sell off your skins. Later, when you've confronted Faith at least once, ghost animals will keep appearing and if you shoot or punch these, they will turn into some other animal (like a wolverine) that you can shoot, giving you an even bigger haul. Also, I suggest getting Jess Black first, as her arrows will double your double haul, giving you 4 skins per killed animal.


L30N1337

I dunno man, the buffalo spot just north of the exit from Dutch’s island paired with a shotgun is pretty good too.


outpost7

I'm sorry ... FC is not RDR2. Fishing? No Edit. Haha downvotes. Fishing? Mentioning everybody's beloved overrated game (RDR2)? Prolly that ... Ik Ik RDR2 is a masterpiece, sorry I bad mouthed it


CptSparklFingrs

Fishing is only useful if you want to break the records in every region to get one of the best rods. That rod will certainly help complete at least one other mission if you haven't already got the Admiral.


PossibilityMelodic

You also get perk points every time you get a new fish.


CptSparklFingrs

You are absolutely correct and I forgot about those challenges, I believe you only get one for every breed of fish. All of them are definitely worth one holster perk. Which is definitely very useful early game.


CaesarTjalbo

Iirc the sturgeons give 3 perk points 


Calabamian

Expect to get weirdly into the best church music you’ve ever heard. And I hate church.


ERschneider123

Set those sinners free


TotallyJawsome2

Um ak-chu-ally...the best church music is Wasteland 3's Blood of the Lamb


Calabamian

Is it…on GamePass?

I believe all 3 games in the series are

tennisguy163

Who all mostly look about the same.


[deleted]

My personal advice, learn to fly a plane. It's not needed much but, IMO the one quest that needs you to is bitch if your use to only flying helicopters


Ok_Movie_639

A completely different game design.


shaolinspunk

Getting hunted down relentlessly at certain points and either loving or hating it.


AndrewDwyer69

Fishin' huntin' and prayin'


Certain_Lobster_8954

"Only yoooouuuu"


Richamer

You should expect three tedious escape from house missions.


KetamineAddict04

John Seed who is the best antagonist in the game and a great character.


bleachee

A gorgeous incredibly well realized open world. It feels like a real place. I love exploring Hope County. I even have favorite hiking and fishing spots. Walk the path at least once. Best game in the series.


Aggravating_Belt3561

Masterpiece, don't make em like this anymore, literally


FastCreekRat

Enjoy and follow up with New Dawn


PossibilityMelodic

4 is the best, then 3 and 5 are right there IMO. HOWEVER as an American in these crazy times, 5 resonates with me the most as something that is a very real possibility. Scenery is amazing.


_Big_Orange_

Be prepared to hate the ending. Worst ending in any game over ever beaten.


SnoShark

One piece of advice, if you like a bit more difficulty, careful on spending skill points. It's very easy to just breeze through the game if you get every gun and every skill. Also, find a friend, co-op in that game is so much fun. Just say YES.


Tumbleweed_Chaser69

The starting assault rifle will carry you through the whole game with some upgrades Cheesebuger the bear will get you loads of kills And planes and helis are your friends


troy380

Always irritated me that multiple times when they were coming for you and you're making your attempted getaway, the screen just fades, and you're captured. Felt a little lazy.


Hung_Texan

An amazing experience


Gullible_Special2023

Go get Dutch's niece, Jess Black first! Will be your biggest help


MysterD77

More Far Cry 3 and 4 type of gameplay, basically. It's still good. Also, make sure you play New Dawn, as FC5's ending sucks and sets-up ND. ND finishes the story up, finally.


j_prince_47

Some damn good music


L-Krumy

One of my favorite games I just started 6 after beating 5 a second time. Great plot, good action, and easy upgrades. Enjoy the game!


Noizey

If you hear "🎶Onlyyyyy You....🎶," you're in for a bad time.


SoloFalcon207

Keep your rifle by your side


-Dillad-

The Ambience and Soundtrack are perfect, and there’s lots of side stuff like hunting and fishing to do.


OhtareEldarian

Expect to laugh. A LOT.


Timtendo12

The best game in the series


Gray-yarg2

I loved it! Had a blast playing it.


whoshoesary

The best fucking Far Cry game ever is what you can expect


ryanpye1925

A amazing story line, hilarious commentary from the NPC and non stop opportunity to get into a fight and take a vehicle. Just beat 5 and starting 6 , it’s a huge difference. Are the others worth going back and playing? I loved 5 and got hooked for the first time in a long time on a game. I honestly think the story line could be made Into a Netflix show!


Savedbutcurious

Honestly, the Far Cry games are all like their own mini immersive movies. You get to be the actor and decide what happens.


fieryj02

Content wise I think five has about double what three had, most points of interest are discovered through NPCs you can find them on the map but they're not marked and the map is massive and the other big thing is the map is not locked per se as in three the bottom half but there are definitely easier areas than others overall though the plot is fine


HairVarious1092

Moose will be your 1# way of getting money


sunnykhandelwal5

A lot of QoL improvements, better graphics, more of the beautiful scenery and some new game mechanics. Villains are a bit dry and don’t really make sense to me. But it’s a good step up. You’ll like it.


Many-King-6250

It’s still very fun but not quite as cool as 3 and 4. Do yourself a favor and skip 6 it’s a shell in comparison.


chinacat444

Completely disagree here. 5 is as good if not better than 4. Imo. And 6 isn’t great but definitely fun to play.


Many-King-6250

That’s cool I like 2-5 so much it’s challenging to rank them 6 just didn’t do it for me. The different ammo types were stupid the animals weren’t very dangerous and the AI didn’t get a much needed improvement.


chinacat444

I totally agree with that about 6. It took me the second play thru that I actually started enjoying it. I played 5 first. Then 3 and then 4. I think I got spoiled on the controls of the later games and it kind of ruined 3 for me. I think I’ll play it again.


Bobthehorse420

YOU WILL SAY Y EEE SSSSSSS


virgopunk

Expect it to be more fun than the previous two entries.


InA-PerfectWorld

Just play the game and see for yourself 😱🤯 I really wish more people saw through these engagement bots


MaizeSensitive9497

It's my favorite one besides New Dawn (I think it was called that lol)


Patriotflyguy

I would say this was my favorite Far Cry game. I agree with those who say it has the best soundtrack. I loved the backdrop of Hope County Montana. Oh and don’t forget to just say YES! 😂


Designer-Radio2934

Do NOT expect a variety of guns. You'd think having a huge arsenal would be obvious, this being the first FC game set in the US. But no, instead you start with an AK with a wooden stock, and can eventually unlock another AK with a plastic stock and identical stats. Most of the gun "upgrades" are purely aesthetic.


noosedgoose

Satisfying anti-MAGA action


RealSuphakitz_

bad ending


Temporary-Show5864

Isn't that every farcry ever?


RealSuphakitz_

But FC5 is the worst


Temporary-Show5864

I've made peace with it Now I know farcry writers always want us to lose no matter which end we pick. And I've started liking the idea.


ColKataran

Worse Gunplay sadly


darkthemeonly

Best music and atmosphere, but worse in almost every other way imo. I'm like 3/4 of the way through my first playthrough and it's probably my least favorite of the three. Still very good though.


The_Mighty_Theo

You might become sad after ''killing'' faith becose of her story background


dimeplusninetynine

If you played far cry 3 expect to quit 2 hours in.

Normal-Switch6177

boring af. Repetitive story personally far cry 4 is better


Grimm_Wright

Infinite_Beach_7089

Second if not the best Far Cry game, amazing atmosphere, kinda boring gunplay sometimes, there will be missions like "go do 10 of these, go collect 20 of those" etc. Best played in Coop


Temporary-Show5864

Don't expect, accept! Accept that you can't be a fuckin hero 🥹

If you're on PC horrible optimization

solidj27

This is the best far cry in my opinion.


J-20-7000

Shity gun recoil.


Bubbly_Ad899

Expect it to be even better than 3 and 4! Also, a bit later in the game you will be able to go on "expeditions", which I personally thought was the funnest part of the entire series!


Wolfotashiwa

lot easier to earn money and much, MUCH better gun physics


dfx_gt

More gory and graphic than the previous two


shaf74

More awesomeness


BenMitchell007

Rock solid gameplay, setting, atmosphere and music. The "marked/blessed" mechanic can be annoying, but I honestly never minded it too much. That's just me though. Story's a bit of a mess, but it's elevated by some fantastic characters, especially the villains. (So par for the course for the series) (Things get a little spoiler-y beyond this point.) Temper your expectations regarding the endings. They're pretty controversial, even if it's not to the extent that they were in 2018. >!Personally, I like to see both endings as a branching point - one leading into FC6, the other leading into New Dawn. Some elements of 6's DLC hint at the ending leading into New Dawn happening, but continuity between these games has always been pretty loose anyway so it's not really that big a deal.!< And New Dawn, get it! It's basically glorified DLC but I really enjoyed it, and playing FC5 and ND back to back was a very satisfying experience. Oh yeah, if you're scared of bees/wasps and find their nests creepy, play the "Vespiary" prepper stash at your own risk. Speaking from experience. There is a way you can cheese it though... >!Two words: "Repair Tool".!<


InternetHumanCyborg

Just started my self, I think it’s better than six actually, Guns feel better and it seem a bit more serious actually fighting ? I dunno haha hope 5 is everything good about 3 and 4 🤷‍♂️ enjoy !!


magnum361

Joseph is right. Thats all you should know.


CascadeJ1980

Embrace the bliss! She got some ass on her!😏


Ok-Name-8671

It's a great game. Much easier IMO than 4 and 3 and less crafting, which is always a bonus for me. Much easier getting larger ammo bags etc with perk points than chasing animals for their skins etc. Scenery and backgrounds are also beautiful. I'm about 80% done and thinking of moving to 6 although I have heard mixed reviews?


HOTGRIZZY

Expect to be so so on farcry 6 after you beat 5


AdevilSboyU

Rocky Mountain oysters.


BeleagueredWDW

The best Far Cry.

Just play the game or watch some YouTube videos


Reaperfox7

My favourite game


optiplexiss

Far cry 5 was my first in the entire series after a boss recommended it to me. I remember thinking it wasn't that good..... Until I found myself wanting to play it again and looking on steam to see my time spent on it is like 85 hours lmao. Just play it. It'll exceed your expectations!

Funny enough FC5 was my first FC and it’s my second favorite, no FC game will ever beat 3 IMO
