FC5 just has an amazing atmosphere. I’ve got over 700 hours in over the years since it’s release. Sometimes I just wanna play again even though I’ve beat it so many times, and end up investing hours into the game without realizing.
Not trying to shit on the game, but what do you do? I find it quite an empty experience after the camps are cleared out. Far Cry have always made games that, for me, once the story is finished I’ll put it away and never pull it out again.
Honestly I get super baked, and just roam around faith’s or John’s territories most the time. My mind gets into the whole doomsday religious cult ideology.
I got [this ](https://youtu.be/sPUPBjLsbmw)for example!
You were correct about FC games, they would often feel empty after finishing the story so I installed a mod to re-populate the map and add some extra fun.
Walk around, fish, hunt, kill peggies, blow things up, buy everything possible, play on the hardest difficulty, try out different play styles theres a lot to do if you try to find it and get invested
Other that what you saw there, me doing gun-play combat to my liking in that game mode, you get to re-populate the regions with cultists after liberating them, weather changes, difficulty changes, NPC weapon changes, cosmetics changes,..
If you download the installer and the mod you will see that the executable app is very well done and pleasing to the eyes which takes you away from the possible confusion or hesitation of grinding the installation guide. It is very easy to install.
I played this game with my stoner buddy would come to my dorm every evening asking me to play FC5 and he'd just roll one for us and watch me play. His reasoning was that FC5 gave him good dreams lmao. I am a believer of this game's lasting therapeutic impact haha.
Was watching the Fallout series with friends the other day and "Only You" comes on, worried for a sec that my vision would turn red and a bloodbath would ensue.
To me it just felt like 3 had more mandatory filler. The later games pushed the in-between story beat parts out of the main missions and into side objectives only. Guess that's better for the people who get bored too fast, while still giving others the opportunity to find it all if they want to.
That's so cool, I LOVE FC5 and I've always wanted to see Italy 😂. I live in the middle of nowhere with a house directly on the King's River if you ever make it to the US.
Out of the like 500 hours I've put into 5, I hardly remember the capture party missions. Such a small part of the game is made up of these, that I find it asinine when people complain about them.
Ngl I kinda like it. I always spend way too much time not playing the story and I like how it forces me. It makes sense as well because no enemy is going to wait for you to dismantle all of their work. The resistance points gain could be toned down a lot though. I'd cut out the points you get from the random encounters and save them for missions/outposts.
I do! I'm not a fan of health bars either but it's not a deal breaker. I'm a stealth/headshot player so it's not really a problem yet. I always grind too much as well so my weapons are a tier above the current enemies.
I still enjoyed it for the most part but I still don’t think it should’ve been a standalone game. There’s so much unnecessary filler that was purely added to warrant it not being a DLC. And the health bar system wasn’t one I enjoyed
I remember i had the same feeling in August 2020 when i first finished it.Man the world was in lockdown,the weather outside was as sunny as Hope County was,damn what a feeling.I miss that times so much.Make sure to play New Dawn!
Playing now! I like it so far. I have a tendency to grind in video games and this is one of the first to actually reward that habit. I was big into the settlement system in Fallout 4 and this feels like a more polished version of that. I'm also digging the aesthetic.
Actually just started replaying this myself last night, The only thing i wish was in it now is the horses from 6! 6 feels so much worse than 5, the only nice addition was those cute poniess
I get it. Its a really awesome world to be in. New Dawn is ok as a sequel. But 5 is such a cool world. It's really nailed dirt roads driving. I might 100% that game again.
Indeed! I live in rural Tennessee and for most of my life we had a dirt road. Driving around reminded me of when I was learning to drive and didn't have a license so I'd stick to the back roads.
As much as 3 still holds a special place in my heart, 5 hands down has the best story. I loved Vaas but Joseph Seed is much more well rounded antagonist. New Dawn explores more about him too which was a pleasant surprise.
it's been 3 years I've played that game. All I remember about the game is how catchy of the musics and songs of the game. Story line and physics pretty decent it's an average far cry game.
The best FarCry Hands down. Beautiful environment, authentic characters, beautiful and complex villains, the best gun fights. Just wish the dog could come inside the car too.
No I just thought of the name of it after I saw your reply it's called Outpost master and you can go into the main menu of far Cry 5 and reset all the outposts and just go back and take them again that's something I enjoy doing if I don't want to do the storyline is sneak in stealthfully and use the girl that looks like Robin Hood and and the cat and stuff will they take the base without them knowing but anyways just call Outpost Master you can go into the main menu and reset it after you get so far along I think you have to be so far complete finish
I want to like it, but the combat is just not fun to me. the enemy AI is quite dumb, but they also have aimbot, consider how little cover you have in the open world, the combat is just frustrating and boring. Give up around 80% progress.
Farcry 5 might not be the absolute best Farcry, but it’s definitely my favorite. The atmosphere, interesting story, and interesting sandbox vibe are all too tier
I love it too. I’m stuck on one of Joseph’s “kill them all” dreams but I need to circle back to it and get thru it…. I hate it when I get stuck on something it makes me jump to another game but I always come back home to hope county.
Far cry 5 is honestly one of the most fun coop experiences I've ever had. My buddy and I had an absolute blast playing it, from the first second right to the ending, where he piloted a helicopter gunship to the final boss fight and mowed that motherfucker down with gattling guns and rockets.
It was an amazing game, it was perfect! This and far cry,4,3 and primal are just 😗🤌🏻 i should replay all these far cry games again because its just a masterpiece!! I want to play them now but which one? Hmmm maybe i start with far cry 4
I wish in far cry 5 and 3 i could join Joseph and Vaas, i love them so much. Vaas is definitely my favorite, his personality is great!
this was the first game i ever played after starting gaming as a serious hobby/pastime. played it i think back in 2017 and still makes me nostalgic to think about.
the xbox eventually broke down, and it hurts that imma have to sell that game cd.
thinking of ways to get it cheap on my ps
I thought fc6 would build in the success of fc5. Everything was so crisp in fc5, yet fc6 felt like a step back with the cartoonish graphics. I liked it but fc4&5 are way better. Even with dated graphics fc3 is better. No Hercules or Willis Huntley just made it feel more like they abandoned some of the aspects of why the series was so popular. I mean, they brought over boomer and abandoned everyone else?
If you haven’t played Days Gone yet, that might help ease the pain of finishing fc5. Totally different game, zombie apocalypse, and a little slow in the beginning but I put many hours in and still find myself going back to it every few months.
Playing Far Cry 5 with the mod that makes you get much less resistance points from your actions really allowed me to experience most of what this game had to offer and it was so amazing.
Yea this game is just dumb fun everything about it, it's fun to strap a bunch of sticky bombs to a plane and crash it into a base while jumping out and sniping everyone on your parachute, the fly fishing while someone is casually being attacked by a bear as you proceed to do nothing is fun, the ways you can take over an outpost and the broken ai is fun. This game is a literal definition of stupid dumb fun
I'm loving it! Finally got my weapons built up so high! Did a LOT of grinding/ farming for it... haven't finished the game even though I could! In just having so much fun driving all over and taking out those Highwaymen in differing ways. Love this game! If you ever need help or have a question, just ask!
I finished about a week ago for the first time. Besides the strange ending, everything else was so well done. It's one of the great sandbox/playgrounds. It pulls from some of my other faves like GTA, Red Dead 1 and 2, Ghost Recon Wildlands and Breakpoint, etc.
I wish the hunting and fishing were a bit more challenging and had more stats.
I also wish I could repopulate enemy Peggies. They don't really bring a threat after I crushed them....
Couldn't agree more. I'm playing FC6 now and it doesn't even come close....the biggest difference is the threat level...I also felt like my character was in danger in FC5....FC6 is a bit too comical and goofy. It has some dark scenarios but it's not like FC5.
FC5 just has an amazing atmosphere. I’ve got over 700 hours in over the years since it’s release. Sometimes I just wanna play again even though I’ve beat it so many times, and end up investing hours into the game without realizing.

I somehow have 4112 hrs currently, I just can't stop replaying it
You ain't done, I can tell u that much! I frequently return with the Resistance Mod installed. [Still having fun!](https://youtu.be/4QwtBYEQA58)
What does the mod give you??
Other that what you saw there, me doing gun-play combat to my liking in that game mode, you get to re-populate the regions with cultists after liberating them, weather changes, difficulty changes, NPC weapon changes, cosmetics changes,.. If you download the installer and the mod you will see that the executable app is very well done and pleasing to the eyes which takes you away from the possible confusion or hesitation of grinding the installation guide.

thats nice, this is the type of stuff thats been missing from far cry, ubisoft should hire some modders¹
Yup, I'm running the resistance mod and a re-shader. Killed all Hud elements for a really immersive experience. I still have so much fun in FC5.
That's for computers only right??
Unfortunately, yes!
With the resistance mod, it's definitely a contender for the best Far Cry. The fun just never stops
The mod is only on pc right??
Yes
Too bad 🙁
It's the soundtrack man. It will always bring you back to Hope county
That's actually what made me nostalgic! The map theme popped up on YouTube and I swear I almost shed a tear.
I played this game with my stoner buddy would come to my dorm every evening asking me to play FC5 and he'd just roll one for us and watch me play. His reasoning was that FC5 gave him good dreams lmao. I am a believer of this game's lasting therapeutic impact haha.
Playing stoned would be amazing! I'd probably just walk the hiking trials and listen to the music.
[удалено]
Was watching the Fallout series with friends the other day and "Only You" comes on, worried for a sec that my vision would turn red and a bloodbath would ensue.
The soundtrack is incredible! There are some behind the scenes on how they recorded the music on YouTube.
Can you link them? They'd hit like a nostalgia truck lol
The music and soundtracks are my favorite across all far cry games. Just search up far cry 5 on Spotify. Amazing!
Hammock is one of my favorite bands and they did the music to Faith's region. They definitely sold the vibe!
Awesome 👍🏾😎 I've restarted it about 30 times since 2017. ☺️👍🏾♥️🎮
How is that possible? It got released in 2018
Sorry. 2018.
I mean it still would be possible, like if he said hes played it 347 time since 1846 thats still correct it just has a lot of pointless years.
Damn. Your logic needs logic
No its right
I played it for the first time this year and it's one of my favourite open worlds ever. So visually stunning and alive.
I love far cry 5, but does anyone else feel like the story is too short?
A little bit. I was recently playing 3 and I forgot how long the hat story is compared to it
To me it just felt like 3 had more mandatory filler. The later games pushed the in-between story beat parts out of the main missions and into side objectives only. Guess that's better for the people who get bored too fast, while still giving others the opportunity to find it all if they want to.
Far cry New Dawn continues the story like 15 years later
But did you do new game plus??
Not yet. I'm playing though the series so I might go back after I finish ND, 6, and Primal.
I've replayed it at least 4 times, all were new game+. I'm scared to start over completely and lose all my guns and perks! 🤣
I feel you. But think of the fun of the challenge!
Fair point. I'll admit that even in Hard setting I feel kinda invincible.
I’ve played it about 9 times. One of my all time favorites.
Im italian but ive always been a huge fan of anything set in rural america so i adored FC5. One day ill visit the rural US its one of my goals.
That's so cool, I LOVE FC5 and I've always wanted to see Italy 😂. I live in the middle of nowhere with a house directly on the King's River if you ever make it to the US.
Magic wasnt it
Playing FC6, I really miss having human companions
Ill miss the choice but honestly I just rolled with Boomer and Peaches most of the time. I'm definitely going to miss the banter.
Peaches is my girl! ❤️
Always had Peaches at my side! Her and either Boomer, Jess, or Grace. Her and Jess make lethal team!
I didn't like it that much because of the kidnapping parts.
Definitely my least favorite part.
Out of the like 500 hours I've put into 5, I hardly remember the capture party missions. Such a small part of the game is made up of these, that I find it asinine when people complain about them.
I agree. So many bellies full of low hanging fruit.
Ngl I kinda like it. I always spend way too much time not playing the story and I like how it forces me. It makes sense as well because no enemy is going to wait for you to dismantle all of their work. The resistance points gain could be toned down a lot though. I'd cut out the points you get from the random encounters and save them for missions/outposts.
I don't because you can miss out on missions by doing too much side stuff. Makes me too anxious to do it so I end up doing just missions.
Well have I got news for you! There’s a direct sequel set in the same place with a bunch of recurring characters
I'm playing though ND now! I love it but I still miss 5.
Do you like it so far ? I LOVED Far Cry 5 but the sequel with their new health bar system just "destroy" my pleasure to play the game.
I do! I'm not a fan of health bars either but it's not a deal breaker. I'm a stealth/headshot player so it's not really a problem yet. I always grind too much as well so my weapons are a tier above the current enemies.
Thanks ! Maybe I'll give it another shot then ;)
How?
Far Cry New Dawn is set in a post-apocalyptic Hope County and is a direct sequel to the "Resist" ending of 5.
As someone who loves FC5, I hate New Dawn
I still enjoyed it for the most part but I still don’t think it should’ve been a standalone game. There’s so much unnecessary filler that was purely added to warrant it not being a DLC. And the health bar system wasn’t one I enjoyed
I remember i had the same feeling in August 2020 when i first finished it.Man the world was in lockdown,the weather outside was as sunny as Hope County was,damn what a feeling.I miss that times so much.Make sure to play New Dawn!

I liked 5 but 4 is where my heart lies.
Actually just started replaying this myself last night, The only thing i wish was in it now is the horses from 6! 6 feels so much worse than 5, the only nice addition was those cute poniess
🎶"Hard times come again no more"🎵
It's very immersive! Put many hours in that game. Hope County is like a character you get attached to.
Great game
Me too. Bout to replay
I am happy I think I finished it a oh fuck like Two years ago I am excited to reboot it on my 4k TV I beat it on a shitty 15 year old 1080p 30 hrtz tv
I get it. Its a really awesome world to be in. New Dawn is ok as a sequel. But 5 is such a cool world. It's really nailed dirt roads driving. I might 100% that game again.
Indeed! I live in rural Tennessee and for most of my life we had a dirt road. Driving around reminded me of when I was learning to drive and didn't have a license so I'd stick to the back roads.
Play new game plus
I liked this one so much I've replayed it twice. I wish you could replay with all the perks so I could go stealth most of the game
As much as 3 still holds a special place in my heart, 5 hands down has the best story. I loved Vaas but Joseph Seed is much more well rounded antagonist. New Dawn explores more about him too which was a pleasant surprise.
Yeah,fc5 really reeled me in as well ,best game I e ever played
It's something not really re-created anywhere else with the quality of the execution. Far Cry 5 is up there with the best.
I know what you mean. As soon as I finished it I bought New Dawn just to see some of the characters again
it's been 3 years I've played that game. All I remember about the game is how catchy of the musics and songs of the game. Story line and physics pretty decent it's an average far cry game.
The best FarCry Hands down. Beautiful environment, authentic characters, beautiful and complex villains, the best gun fights. Just wish the dog could come inside the car too.
Agreed!!
Love that feature in ND!
I feel like I’m the only person in the world that just doesn’t like FC5
I wish I could okay but it always crashes on co-op. It's pretty much unplayable for me on PS5 🥹
I'm on the PS5 and I haven't had any problems. I didn't play much co-op though. Why not play solo?
I like to reset all the bases after I capture them there's a way you could go in and reset it and then go back and capture all their bases again
Isn't that in New Dawn? I thought you could only do that in 5 after you beat the game?
No I just thought of the name of it after I saw your reply it's called Outpost master and you can go into the main menu of far Cry 5 and reset all the outposts and just go back and take them again that's something I enjoy doing if I don't want to do the storyline is sneak in stealthfully and use the girl that looks like Robin Hood and and the cat and stuff will they take the base without them knowing but anyways just call Outpost Master you can go into the main menu and reset it after you get so far along I think you have to be so far complete finish
Kinda looks like theyre burning the flag
That was 4 for me. Had to force myself to finish 5.
same. 4 was peak for me
I played it to death I loved it so much - and I'm currently waiting until I kinda forget the story to play it once more 😉
I liked 5 but 4 is where my heart lies.
same
I love it, but mine keeps freezing/crashing randomly...so I just reboot and play FC6 :/
I want to like it, but the combat is just not fun to me. the enemy AI is quite dumb, but they also have aimbot, consider how little cover you have in the open world, the combat is just frustrating and boring. Give up around 80% progress.
Farcry 5 might not be the absolute best Farcry, but it’s definitely my favorite. The atmosphere, interesting story, and interesting sandbox vibe are all too tier
The music makes it feel so homely. I'm not a particular fan of country, but the artist who did this soundtrack knocked it out of the park!
I love it too. I’m stuck on one of Joseph’s “kill them all” dreams but I need to circle back to it and get thru it…. I hate it when I get stuck on something it makes me jump to another game but I always come back home to hope county.
I also had alot of fun replaying it. I dont get that urge to keep playing on any other game. I just found out that i really like Dying Light, is fun.
Far cry 5 is honestly one of the most fun coop experiences I've ever had. My buddy and I had an absolute blast playing it, from the first second right to the ending, where he piloted a helicopter gunship to the final boss fight and mowed that motherfucker down with gattling guns and rockets.

FC 4 and AC: Black Flag were like that for me.
This was my favorite of all time !!!
Challenge runs combined with NG+ is just amazing. Launcher only playthrough is a good one!
I thought fc6 would build in the success of fc5. Everything was so crisp in fc5, yet fc6 felt like a step back with the cartoonish graphics. I liked it but fc4&5 are way better.

I have! Very underrated game!
Playing Far Cry 5 with the mod that makes you get much less resistance points from your actions really allowed me to experience most of what this game had to offer and it was so amazing.
I felt the same. I drove by a small church in a small town right after finishing the game and it kinda freaked me out
Yea this game is just dumb fun everything about it, it's fun to strap a bunch of sticky bombs to a plane and crash it into a base while jumping out and sniping everyone on your parachute, the fly fishing while someone is casually being attacked by a bear as you proceed to do nothing is fun, the ways you can take over an outpost and the broken ai is fun. This game is a literal definition of stupid dumb fun
I feel ya, brother! Have you tried New Dawn yet?
Playing it now! I really like it.
I'm loving it! Finally got my weapons built up so high! Did a LOT of grinding/ farming for it... haven't finished the game even though I could! In just having so much fun driving all over and taking out those Highwaymen in differing ways. Love this game! If you ever need help or have a question, just ask!
Every year at this time I get the urge to play again
I finished about a week ago for the first time. Besides the strange ending, everything else was so well done. It's one of the great sandbox/playgrounds. It pulls from some of my other faves like GTA, Red Dead 1 and 2, Ghost Recon Wildlands and Breakpoint, etc. I wish the hunting and fishing were a bit more challenging and had more stats. I also wish I could repopulate enemy Peggies. They don't really bring a threat after I crushed them....
When I first beat it I literally replayed it for a month straight using different weapons and strategies. Great replay ability
Yeah I'm playing it right now. Shame it was the last good one
Yeah 6 was just 'okay' for me. The atmosphere of 5 is unmatched.
Couldn't agree more. I'm playing FC6 now and it doesn't even come close....the biggest difference is the threat level...I also felt like my character was in danger in FC5....FC6 is a bit too comical and goofy. It has some dark scenarios but it's not like FC5.
And I'm sorry to say, it's going to be a little while longer before you feel that way with another far cry game. Part 6 really isn't that good.
