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

Shame you can't skip tricky bits like in some games - I can't fly planes or fish and I need to progress!
 
have I really just spent an hour breaking into a house and picking up dog shits looking for a key ? on the other hand, I caught some lovely trout on the same day
How did you manage that? I can hook them, but I gave up reeling in as it never seemed to get tired - does it take ages?

if they are big, then they can take a while - if the line stays green, you are OK, if it gets yellower, then the fish may jump off, don't wind in with the LH trigger immediately , just play the fish with the RH stick, countering the direction it is pulling in until it tires out and then you can gradually begin to LH trigger it into the shore/ boat - the colour of the line of your indicator whether to wind in or let is jump around for a bit

Ah, so you start reeling after it gets tired then? I've been trying to reel in while using the r stick
 
"feather" the LH trigger if the fish is stripping the line from the reel as it runs i.e. gently try to control the speed of the line being taken by the fish. Its more fun than I initially imagined
 
Petting Boomer is brilliant.
How do people get a pet cougar?

Do the mission at "Peaches Taxidermy" in Faith's region. It's a reasonably easy mission - you don't have to be a long way into the game to do it. The cougar's good if you like doing stealth attacks. You can send her in to bases to pick off some of the outlying enemies then wade in and wipe out the rest. She gets killed if they're heavily tooled up but she can take on most. She normally gets two or three before I have to rescue her.

Oh good. I have a story mission that involves stealth. I hate creeping around. I hate games that are so difficult that you have to do the same things over and over again. I always play on easy to minimise this
 
I've done a base without firing a shot with the cougar. Alternated between sending her in to pick people off and getting the bloke in the plane to drop bombs. Very satisfying. I was sat miles away on top of a hill surveying things with my binoculars and sending the troops in.

This mission involves hostages, so have to be careful. Fucking hostages
 
I think I just did that one. Down by a river where they're being baptised? The cougar was ideal for that one.
No, it's a whitetail mountains mission. Make quite a bit of progress recently. I've already taken out John and Faith

Good, isn't it? I'm conscious of lying through it too quickly as I want it to last. I'm currently enjoying wandering around a newly liberated John's region with less hassle from air attacks etc. Just finding bases and quielty wiping them out. After the frenzy of killing John it seems quite sedate.

I think this is my favourite Farcry so far. The backstory's better in this one, I think.
 
It's quite disturbing in parts, which jars with the beauty of the environment a little bit, but yeah it's brilliant.
I thought I was going to complete it region by region but it doesn't allow you to do that. The only side missions I have left in John's region are collecting ones - lighters, comics etc.
There's a record collecting one I haven't started yet - the characters who wants you to do that is a vinyl nut with Technics decks!
 
Endings are always shit. tbh I've never played a game with a decent story. Most of the cut scenes in this and the others are tiresome and annoying distractions that can't finish soon enough
 
finished it on Sat, ending very meh , already traded in, got 36 quid back , so for £14 it was good fun but not going to keep it.

Got ghost recon wildands instead, feels very familiar.....

never played bioshock 1 ? or dishonoured ? that's 2 good stories to start...
 
I'm dragging it out for a bit longer.

Killed Faith though - she was getting on my tits. Having a squad of the plane guy and the helicopter woman is good for taking bases without being detected. Find a good spot on a nearby hill, tag as many enemies as you can with your binoculars and send in the troops.
 
Been playing this all week and really enjoying it. The only thing I'm not enjoying is that it seems impossible to take a breather. Someone always comes along to have a pop at you or get you high on bliss. I want to spend some time exploring!
 
Is the dlc out yet? I bought the season pass for it, and kind of feel obliged to download it.
Apart from that, I'm not really that arsed.
