I think Clutch faked his death and he's the one talking to you over the radio during the missions..Have they ever said who the voice is on the other line.
Exactly.

Since Far Cry 2?
Again, I did not play 2 so I'm going off LPs and wiki, but 2 told a pretty nihilistic story about the horrors of war. 3 tried to deconstruct the white savior narrative. 4 put you in the middle of a literal civil war and had you find out that the dictator may have been right all along, especially compared to the two chucklefucks that led the Golden Path.
That's the thing (and this is a point I made earlier ITT). Ubisoft has tried to make this series mean something, but then when they fail, they pull out the Blood Dragons and the Yetis and say "it's about fun!!!!!"
Kind of worries about the overall progression. Finished off one of the lieutenants without really trying to 100% the zone and I've already gotten most of the worthwhile perks. Two more zones equal in size left.
Sign.... why can't any of these games ever offer a mode were skill gains are like cut in half?

Meh, you will get one for killing John. Heli gunship is a better investment IMO.
Well, that would be the guy in the bunker.
But who's to say that could not be Clutch in a post-stunt life...
His son did point out he was reckless for having shown his grandson gun handling. And reckless is precisely what a stuntsman his, even if he's trying not to show it.
Rest my case.
You know what. You're right. That was a bit harsh of me, and I'm projecting my personal opinions onto the wider ones. I apologize, and will edit my earlier posts accordingly.
I think saying the story is divisive is fair though.

That's my current problem as well. I basically beat the story with the bare minimum of things unlocked and completed, and there's no real incentive to keep doing any of that side content. They missed out on having any way to upgrade your proficiency in vehicles. There could be like 2-3 additional skill trees in the game, one based on piloting vehicles, and another based on land-based vehicles. Hell, maybe add another based on boats. And the fact that there's no progression with the guns for hire is annoying as well. Literally an entire skill tree dedicated solely to reducing the respawn time for each of your guns for hire. That's dumb as hell.
Wait, Dutch is Clutch now we're getting even deeper.
I meant the guy who is doing the voiceover at the memorials where you take on his stunt recreations but now we're getting spicy.
Agreed. I mean the guns for hire kinda come OP right out of the gate. I would have preferred having to unlock their abilities, rather than immediately get their supremely powerful forms from the start.
Hakuna Matata, as they say.
Ah! Sorry for being slow. I'm in a fuss cuz of that coot!
Let's settle for a wait and see approach. First to gather clues get back here to share.
I might also resolve to nagging someone I know since this person is related to the game.
Down the rabbit hole we go!
Do the story missions first, side missions are available after liberation.
I went ahead and completed that mission and all the rest was still there for me to do.. no worries!
Without spoilers if I've only done the john region but want Jess as a companion is it possible to get her super soon in Jacobs region the bounce out and focus and faiths region?
Look Faith, I like you. You rock that dress. You enjoy murder almost as much as I do.
But when I'm fishing maybe it's not the best time to show up dancing and creepy singing behind me.

Yeah I bee lined for the Cougar before doing John and did the same for Jess before Faith.
Agreed on all counts. And thank you, I thought I was going crazy with how angry that bunker made me. Most of the checkpointing and level design for those missions had been fine up until that point.
So I ran into something weird on the pic version. I filled the resistance bar in Falls End so it triggered the mission to return to the town. When I got close to the town the mission just disappeared and the tracker slotted back into my last quest that was open, and nothing I do brings the story mission back so I can do it. 14 hours in am I screwed?
Edit: is it possible to lose resistance points? The bar filled up and the mission triggered, but the game is saying I'm 35 points short of filling the bar now. I didn't reload or fast travel.

Was anyone else disappointed that there was no bad/secret path where you can just join Faith? When Dutch hyped her up as a master manipulator, and the entire region's theme being the Bliss, I was kind of hoping to see if she could really pull us in.
Hell, Jacob kind of upstaged Faith in the whole mindgame territory.

After about 20 hours in I think I can safwly say this is my favourite Far Cry.
Really really enjoying it.
Really really enjoying it.
I've been using the same assault rifle since the beginning (I use the one from the deluxe pack I think?) with a reflex scope and a silencer... Is there a better assault rifle in the game? Would be nice to use other weapons...
I loved how in Far Cry 3 you had kinda shitty guns until you got to the second island and suddenly you had access to amazing stuff...
Speacking of shitty gun... Is it just me or is the grenade launcher really not that great this time around? I feel like it takes way too much ammo to kill people and/or pick up trucks.

But please tell me if I should buy the game and if I do and don't like it I will be angry at you. Thanks! :P (joking)
Welp, just finished, and despite how beautiful it was to look at and listen to, I can't help but shrug at it in the end. There was a whole lot of radio chatter to say nothing at all, then cutscenes to lean into that nothing with vague gestures towards human tragedy "because America" delivered via poorly set up monologues.
It would have been better if it leaned all the way into the stupid and the satire instead of trying to say anything seriously because they never really go for it in a way that works. Hopefully the DLC will chase after Blood Dragon and make the tone more consistent.
Also, I'm not sure if my game glitched out or whatever, but I never got Cheeseburger. And without a post-game I never will. That's a bummer.

parachuted in right on top of the church at the end and then all of my allies were just there and blissed out. Did I miss something by not driving in, or does that always happen for no reason? If the former, why wasn't gathering everyone at the southern end of the island for a raid not the mission objective to set that up? If the latter, uh....what?

Yeah there's a M79 grenade launcher... You can get one after progressing the story or you can buy the prestige one
For some reason I thought that was a shotgun. I'll have to try it out I guess.Yeah there's a M79 grenade launcher... You can get one after progressing the story or you can buy the prestige one
Yeah, once you get 4-5 levels of rep you can get some better rifles and snipers. I'd recommend the AKM and AS-50 for assault/sniping respectively.
GL seems fine to me, one shots trucks if I hit them.
Yeah I use the 50 cal Sniper Rifle from the Gold pack (I think?) and that thing is ridiculous haha
Just finished it and my initial thoughts are that it was a fun time, overall. I loved the setting, atmosphere, and music. The companions you got were all pretty damn good and useful throughout the game.However, there are some really glaring issues that kept this from being as great as it should have been:
-So many damn bugs! It got absolutely ridiculous at times. Missions broke really easy for me and I often found myself unable to complete them because the game failed to respawn a particular object or person. At one point I had about 3 missions on the docket I couldn't finish due them bugging out.
-There was too much chaos at times. I will echo people who complained about the enemy spawns. You can barely travel the roads without running into numerous enemy convoys or a huge firefight between whitetails and cult members. It was like you had a six-star wanted level(GTA) that never goes away.
-The scripted kidnappings were annoying and kinda poorly implemented. I had one happen, then afterwards I managed to complete one mission only to end up kidnapped yet again!
-I'm getting tired of bad acid trips/Nightmare sequences and zombie-like enemies in games. It's gotten stale. It felt like I was playing Dying Light at times in Faith's region.
Solid 7/10 for me. I think Origins was the better Ubisoft effort, certainly a bit more polished than this title. I don't think I've encountered this many severe bugs before in an open world game. Even my time with Skyrim wasn't this bad.

I finished Faith's region a lot faster than the previous. I was kind of surprised at that. I don't think I'll bother looking for all the stuff that I can destroy like the silos. Maybe I'll try searching for the drug boats. At this point I'm pretty well equipped and did a ton of the challenges so far. Progressing a lot faster in terms of my character than I expected in just two regions. Third one seems like it will be pretty easy. Maybe because they don't power up the enemies part way through like other Far Cry games did.
So far the only GFH/FFH I don't really care about is Sharky.

Not since BOTW do I sit there not playing a game wishing I was playing a game.
So yeah, that says everything for me.
Side note. At my brother in laws house today in the mountains of New Jersey (yes, this is a real thing) for Easter lunch, and a pack of 4 deer just were strolling through the backyard. Virtual reality blended with reality and I thought about switching to my bow. I am 43 fucking years old and not kidding.
Side note 2. Walking Dead is on in the background and myself and my wife peruse the internet. As I was typing Side note 1 above, what commercial comes on the TV? Yep, Far Cry 5 Welcome To Hope County.
I truly love this game. I have been following this thread mainly as a lurker, and it sucks seeing some people having issues. Besides 1 or 2 weird physics related things and 1 or 2 just absolutely shit timing scenarios, the game has run perfectly for me.
It is damn near perfect EVEN with some not perfect decisions. My GOTY thus far, although it is early on and there has not been much competition to speak of. Stil, having a hell of a time, and I do sit there wishing I was playing when I am not. Again, that speaks volumes, especially since i have been in a bit of a funk lately and not really feeling much of anything.

I just use the rocket launcher. My weapon set is a sniper, a LMG (which is my main weapon as its so good) and the rocket launcher. I never ever threw a pipe bomb in this game.
Oh, man, i love climbing with grappling hook. Just so damn cool somehow. And even better when there are places when you can/need to swing on the rope to move on.
my score was a 8.5 - felt like it got a bit long in the tooth near the end myself but its a very good game. I only really had 1 bug at the john seed final quest but it was very frustrating and I had to quit game about 7 times before I could beat him. As for the road/spawn complaint - I didnt think it was an issue tbh. It goes away very quickly once you have resistance up and also you have a lot of weapons near end game and its nothing a rocket launcher can't take care of. I relished the road combat.
I like the grenade launcher cause it goes into the Pistol slot
Um, is there seriously no way to continue playing after beating this? I deliberately left a bunch of side stuff to do and got the main story out of the way and I see no way to go back to before the ending stuff happens... Clicking continue just plays the credits.
I am going to be fucking enraged if there is no way to continue playing.
Edit: Oh ok apparently this is bugged and can be fixed by rebooting or fast travelling. Thank christ.

My favorite gun in the game (in all FarCry games) is the M79.
FC5 is one of the best games this gen. Sitting up there with Bloodborne. It's a first person GTA, even with all the wackiness and crazy stuff in the missions. One of the missions had me in tears of laughter, lol. Drop in drop out co-op makes things even more fun. Also one of the best looking games to date. It looks amazing on the Pro, and can't even imagine it on X or PC.
Never have I ever wanted to finish EVERY damn mission in an open world game. 10/10.
This Flavor Country sidequest where you're supposed to get roadkill from deer is pissing me off. The deer are all in mountainous and heavily wooded area so when you manage to spot one from your low visibility truck, it either runs off a cliff, cuts between two trees, or dives into the water.
And when you DO manage to hit one, his ass gets up and runs away again! Especially if they are running away from you running over them does very little damage. I actually hit the same deer twice once and still didn't kill it.
I've spent 30 minutes on this and have 1 of 4 required roadkill. Anyone know a good place to get this without heavy forests or mountains? I'd just ignore this quest but it turned every deer hunting marker into a quest marker, so it's clutering up my map like crazy.

Ok so I finally got the game to re-trigger that mission I was stuck on. Big spoiler in the tag below about a late mission in a region that royally pissed me off:
The bunker level after the plane fight section can go straight to hell. That level was so so bad. How did anyone approve that level?
Okay I was told here only the intro region missions are the ones that can be failed upon the boss' defeat.
However, once I finished Jacob's, it looks like I locked myself out of all Eli's missions because
This game is so fucking dumb. It's been a while since I played a game so intent on getting in the way of its own enjoyment

This game feels like the perfect evolution of the series. I've been having so much fun in co-op. From raiding outposts while grappling off the bottom of a helicopter to just fishing on a quiet night. This game is what I wanted and more.
Started going through Jacob's region. I've basically gone through the other 2 regions twice (solo then co-op) and I'd do it again in a heartbeat, so much fun.

I kept dying in the cave during the Angel's Grove Prepper Stash for no reason so I looked up a guide. Apparently my game decided to not load in the boiling water that you have to avoid.
Same. I'm at 3 boats and 2 trucks. I'm using a helicopter, but the boats and trucks seldom spawn.
Also, I'm sitting at 50/52 in John's Region. I think What They Carried (Side Mission) and Golden Age Nostalgia (Side Mission) are what's keeping me from 52/52.
This game has truly engulfed me. I think I have 25 hours in.
What is the mission in Faith's Region that you need to do before netting her and having it auto complete? If you know Jacob's, I'll take that too.
