Richard Bailey of The Koalition writes: When Ubisoft officially released the worldwide reveal trailer for Far Cry 5 back on May 26th, 2017, many formed preconceived notions about what to expect from this Dan Hay and Patrik Methe directed series entry. With antagonists in the form of a sadistic family turned militaristic doomsday cult, a narrative about invading a fictional setting in Hope County, Montana and subtle messages eerily similar to whats going on in our current political landscape, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Toronto were aiming to make a highly controversial game about religion, extremism, and violence in America.
While the story might not be as over-the-top as some expected, Ubisoft has still succeeded in making Far Cry 5 a fun, immersive open world experience ripe with satisfying gameplay mechanics, great co-op campaign options and more than enough content to keep you busy for a very long time. Here are more of my in-depth thoughts on why this title may be worth your time and money.
Far Cry debuted on March 23, 2004, meaning that next week, it will have been 20 years since Jack Carver first washed up on the shore of a tropical paradise teeming with hostile mercenaries.
I'd love a far cry pack with the original PC game (not the half assed port on ps360) instincts, predator even a port of far cry 2 to modern consoles back when these games had their own identity and weren't far cry 3 cut and pastel
The 2018 first-person shooter has reached this milestone exactly 5 years after its initial release.
Going to have to try and get back into Far Cry. The formula for Far Cry may be fun, but it gets repetitive very fast.
Been playing this series since far cry 3 I love the adventuring vibe this series gives off even far cry primal is so good, but experiencing far cry 5 in 60 fps crisp graphics on ps5 for the first time is dope it adds life to it, I wana give far cry 6 a second chance couldn’t get into it at first I wonder if it’s worth it
Far Cry 5 Official Twitter: "You've been waiting long enough… Welcome to Hope County! Experience Far Cry 5 in native 60 FPS - available for PS5 & Xbox Series consoles … NOW! Far Cry 5 will also have a FREE WEEKEND from March 23-27 on all consoles & PC. Enjoy!"
Damn. I replayed it recently on SX with fps boost, and to achieve that they had to downgrade the resolution. Game played great but looked like ass. Wish I had've waited.
Nice
Waiting to play this on Extra but have had too much else to play.
So is this a native PS5 version or does the PS4 version run at 60fps on PS5?
Was really hoping to read that New Dawn would be upgraded as well. :( Already beat Far Cry 5 + and only like 1 hr into New Dawn.
Pretty nice 👍
Now we’ll only need fps boost for:
Arkham Knight
Bloodborne
The Last Guardian
Assassin‘s Creed Unity
Shadow of the Colossus
Gravity Rush 2
Did I forget something?
Thoroughly enjoyed my time with Far Cry 5 and it's definitely the best entry in the series since Far Cry 3.
Fantastic game. The gun play is bang on and the buddy system is clever. That opening scene and first action sequence is great. And when you first get in a plane you realise how big this game is.
Do prepper missions. So much fun.
The way there is no mini map is a stroke of genius. Makes you feel more in the moment.
This is delightful. I action sequences are amazing and so are the missions. Wonderful game.
I'm definitely going to get this down the road. If its deep enough to get people riled up then it must be an interesting story.
