Far Cry 5, out in Feb 2018, will be set in the US

I want to play it. However it strikes me as more of a title to play on the PC and that means an upgrade to the graphics card. Cheap option would be just to get it for PS4 that has never fully got the hang of that style of gaming on a pad.
 
Eh? It's totally a console game, but then I've never played games on a pc

What you're used to of course. I did most of my game playing with a mouse and keyboard and that particularly suits first-person style shooters. Adult responsibilities mean that I've never been able to put in a serious time into gaming like I used to, since getting my first console which was a PS4.
 
No doubt this will look fantastic, but once the nice shiny graphics wear off the traditional ubisoft game play will set in.....

My main beef about console FPS is aiming which I find impossible on a joypad. Far Cry 4 was the last one of these I played and it was on PS3. The aim mechanics work really well so I didn't find it impossible at all.

I will, however, be getting it for the PC though.
 
Played 4 for a bit on the xbox one, its ok but I just can't get properly into it.

Stopped playing it a month or so back and have no real desire to go back... Some fellas with bows and arrows kept killing me and pissed me off. :thumbs: Spent a good few hours but it bever really clicked.
 
I've played them all, I think. The one up in The Himalayas was my fav, although getting all the beasts to do your dirty work in Primal was great, too. Looks like there's some of that in this one. And all set in a Cormac McCarthy / True Detective world. Really looking forward to this a lot.
 
I watched a bit of a stream thing they did last night to promote it. Showed the opening sequence and first level. Looks very good - nothing hugely groundbreaking, but all the FarCry stuff you know and love with the added bonus of fighting tooled up cult members. The character of The Father is good for a computer game - he sings 'Amazing Grace' while on a helicopter that's going down in flames etc. Main thing was the action looks great - lots of car chase/shootouts, planes zooming in and attacking unexpectedly etc. Looks like it'll be a lot of fun.

The level they showed wasn't a total open world one though - you were led through crashing a helicopter, defending a barn under attack then another bloke drove you while you shot the shit out of everything, so it's possible that it's not totally representative but good nonetheless. Some of my favourite FarCry bits are just roaming the jungle, occasionally hunting and blowing stuff up reasonably indiscriminately but I expect there'll be plenty of scope for that, too. By all accounts, it's massive. I've squirreled some money away to get it on Tuesday.

Let us know what it's like :thumbs:
 
Can somebody enlighten me please as to which version to buy? It's not as simple as it used to be- one version of a great game. For this I've seen Gold/Deluxe/Amazon exclusives. I never know who's trying to fleece you or which ones are actually good value.
Edit- Dunno if it's necessary to say but I'm on Xbox1.

God only knows, i usually go for the cheapest as the downloadable stuff usually comes in later and costs extra anyway. So, not sure either...
