You absolutely must play ‘Far Cry 5’ before touching ‘Far Cry: New Dawn’. Seriously, it’s worth it.

Warning: One absolutely unavoidable (and major) spoiler for Far Cry 5 is below, but chances are you’ve already heard about it.

Ah, the “standalone sequel.” It’s a tricky beast. Of course players want it to work. Heaven knows studios want it to work. Unfortunately, it rarely works. 

Far Cry: New Dawn is no exception – but that is far from a bad thing.

The latest Far Cry spinoff takes us back to Hope County, Montana, the setting for all of the events in its fifth main game. While we’re dealing with a completely new story line, (almost) entirely different characters, and an elaborately re-skinned environment, newcomers shouldn’t plan on enjoying this chapter sans Far Cry 5 knowledge. Note that I’m saying “shouldn’t” and not “couldn’t.” Read more…

People are using ‘Far Cry 5’ to chill and fish instead of destroying the cult

TwitterFacebook

Far Cry 5 is a game in which you desperately defend yourself against a heavily armed religious cult. Or, if you prefer, you could use it as a nice chance to squeeze in a bit of fishing.

There’s no doubt that Far Cry 5 is a tense game. But it turns out some people have become wrapped up in the game’s fishing mechanic.

Me: FarCry 5 is amazing you can blow up entire towns. Fly planes. Have high speed chases. Gun fight cultists. Wreck a big rig

Girlfriend: And what have you been doing in the game?

Me:….. I’ve …. lbeen fishing for… several hours.

‘Far Cry 5’ has a mission about Trump’s ‘pee tape’

TwitterFacebook

Far Cry 5 has a pretty obvious reference to a rumored recording of President Donald Trump taking part in a Russian sex party that involved a lot of peeing, affectionately referred to as the “pee tape.”

The mission, called “Patriot Acts,” has the player go find a VHS tape that has some less-than-savory footage on it – footage that would make the “Big Man” look bad to the public, as Polygon shows in the video above. Throughout the mission, there are puns and references about wetting the bed and a mention of the yellow brick road.
