#Far cry 4 vs far cry 5 full#
In most melee situations in the game, one shovel is enough to level a room full of groaning cult-zombies. Throw it and it turns into a flying guillotine that, for reasons unknown to science, travels at 400 miles per hour for up to 50 yards. Hit someone with it, and it works like a sledgehammer, and makes an extremely satisfying noise on contact. A side note: The shovel really is the star of this game. Might have been when I found myself skipping monologues and saying out loud “whatever, boring psychopathic monologue and subsequent torture scene,” before immediately finding the nearest pipe and laying into brainwashed cultists while yelling “YOU TRYING TO GET THE PIPE?” to no one in particular.Ĥ. Might have been when I bought a weaponized shovel with a smiley face on it to use in combat. It could have been when I spent 15 minutes throwing bait into a camp, watching drugged cultists cuss and shoot at a mob of skunks who refused to leave them alone. Maybe it was shortly afterwards when I had to set one of the aroused bulls on fire to complete the mission. Maybe it was when Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing” began playing while a bull mounted a cow. I’m not sure exactly when I realized how little I wanted Far Cry 5 to wrestle with the terrors of modern American political life. In fact, it’s a good question to wonder if anyone would really want that. It’s a lot to ask of any game, and especially a lot to ask of Far Cry, a franchise that uses its beautiful, exotic backdrops as impressive but disposable framing for explosions and cartoon violence.ģ. This is true even if people wanted something more out of the game, something for this particular moment in American history when a.) the topic of mindlessly violent cultists seems more relevant than ever, and b.) people playing those video games might really want a game to deal with something genuinely scary. So, in retrospect, when Ubisoft announced that a Far Cry would take place for first time in the United States - and that it would involve some gun-loving Christian cultists, no less - it might have been naive to expect anything too profound. Why? Because our government is bad too, man.Ģ. The best piece of political commentary in the game - or at least as close as it got - was when a CIA officer abandoned players on a snowy mountainside during a blizzard. Far Cry 4 took place in a fictional Nepal-type country, complete with a Maoist rebellion. Far Cry 2 took place in Africa, which I only really remember because the game let you throw grenades at zebras.
#Far cry 4 vs far cry 5 series#
This series has twice used the ancient and beautiful culture of Polynesia as a cheap backlot set for bloody stories of kinetic, cartoonish violence. I think we should all remember a few things about the F ar Cry franchise before even thinking about the Far Cry 5, the fifth installment in the series.
