About Far Cry 5

Welcome to Hope County, Montana, land of the free and the brave, but also home to a fanatical doomsday cult known as The Project at Eden’s Gate that is threatening the community's freedom. Stand up to the cult’s leader, Joseph Seed and the Heralds, and spark the fires of resistance that will liberate the besieged community.

In this expansive world, your limits and creativity will be tested against the biggest and most ruthless baddest enemy Far Cry has ever seen. It’ll be wild and it’ll get weird, but as long as you keep your wits about you, the residents of Hope County can rest assured knowing you’re their beacon of hope.

Full disclosure, I'll defend this game in every thread, but the villain writing deserved better than the map got.

    What actually holds up is the way missions let you approach them differently each time, that variety keeps the pacing from going stale even after a dozen hours. Where it loses me is the villains, they get set up with a lot of weight early on and then just don't pay off the way the buildup promised

    Only put in a few hours here and there, but the co-op sessions alone made it worth the price for me.

    Only a FEW co-op sessions and you're already sold? That's exactly the problem with this ranking.

    Si nadie sabe distinguir un puesto de otro, ¿para qué seguimos discutiendo el ranking exacto?

    Sobre eso mismo, a mí las partidas cortas me duraron más que muchos juegos que juré terminar...

    Solid gunplay, solid setting, people forget that fast fun still counts

    My kid liked the guns but got bored fast, "fast fun" doesn't hold attention for long at our house.

    And people forget how much personality Hope County actually had compared to what came after it. I spent an entire evening just fishing and ignoring the main story, my brother thought I'd lost my mind, but that freedom is exactly what made it stick with me.
