Re: Far Cry 5 - 3/27/18

I didn’t get an update. Maybe just a PS thing. I didn’t know about freebies in-game either. I certainly didn’t notice them in any shop...

Is there a date when FC3 dlc drops?

And what is with Vietnam dlc? Seems odd that it has almost no ties to game. But, it did look good and I like this world...

This is the Deluxe Edition content that comes with both the Deluxe Edition (duh) and the Gold Edition of the game. You should have entered the code right away, that way you don't need to buy a truck or a helicopter.



.44 Magnum handgun with unique skin
AR-C Assault Rifle with unique skin
Ace Pilot Pack:
- Aerial Force 1911 Gun
- Aerial Force Helicopter
- Aerial Force Outfit
Big Game Hunter Pack:
- Big Game Hunter Compound Bow
- Big Game Hunter ATV
- Big Game Hunter Outfit

All that stuff is gone for me. I re-downloaded it but it's gone yet again today.


I finished the game today. I know some of you guys said it was a bad ending, but I just assumed you meant it was disappointing or not what you were hoping for. I certainly didn't think you meant it was AWFUL -- and it certainly was that.

Spoiler:
My son watched it with me and we both thought that I must have screwed up or something and lost the game. Still can't believe that was the "Good" ending. I had to check the Internet just to make sure I wasn't wrong. How amazingly disappointing after a (mostly) fun game to end with something that deeply unsatisfying. I really dug the ending of Far Cry 4 and was hoping for something similar here

In the Xbox main menu, highlight Far Cry 5, hit that option button (looks like = but with three lines), select Manage Game. You should be able to download the DLC you own from there.

I've moved on until the DLC or Far Cry 3 hits, so hopefully they fix that glitch by then.

Oh, and I loved the ending. Satisfying? Probably not, but it was definitely different.

and then see those guns in any gun shop, correct? thanks. **edit** i downloaded all the stuff again and see nothing opened up in the gun shops.**

also, i don't understand that there are still missions left in a region i already have enough RP for. i want to do them, but then there is no point if reward is just RP in that region...

Re: Far Cry 5 - 3/27/18

As I PMed you, I'll post here :

You might need to close the software, then open it again to find the items. I'm still having issues -- my stuff appears after I DL it, but then disappears after first fast travel, I think. Ubisoft recommended that I delete the game and re-install so I'm doing that now. It's apparently an issue with other people after the Thursday patch.

Re: Far Cry 5 - 3/27/18

Here's a video I made (you can skip the first two minutes of loading time) where you can clearly see the new glitch since the most recent update :

I re-downloaded all the bonus items again. You can see as I load up the game, the weapon wheel is empty. I go to a gun store, browse my inventory and can see all the new items (guns and outfits -- you see three outfits between the spaceman and the loincloth). I load up the weapon wheel with new items. I then Fast Travel and immeditaely all the items are gone both from my inventory and from the gun store.

It does have a tie to the game, all those DLC modes do.

Spoiler:
Vietnam DLC has you play as Wendell the guy who you get the lighters mission from, the Mars mission relates to Larry Parker and the discovery of microwaves emanating from Mars, and the zombie DLC is based on a movie from Guy Marvel, the director you meet in Faith’s region.

Re: Far Cry 5 - 3/27/18

gotta say, killing John Seed was pretty damn satisfying (once I figured it out, that is). More so than Faith.
Spoiler:
staying on the ground and blasting him with guided rocket launcher was pretty damn useful.


on to Jacob, i guess and then...The Father!

The ending, while not conventional, had balls.

Did it though? It had fake prosthetic silicon balls.

The ending came out of nowhere and didn't feel earned. It basically negated everything you did. It was nihilistic for the sake of nihilism and a cheap shock. It didn't really make any sense. The more I thought about it, the more I hated it. And I knew some folks would try to defend it as brilliant or ballsy and knew that would piss me off even more

Supposedly the ending was hinted at in messages on the radio, although I never heard anything like that.

Re: Far Cry 5 - 3/27/18

Yeah:

Spoiler:
The ending did not come out of nowhere, it's exactly what Joseph Seed was predicting all along. Now, whether or not he brought it about himself is another question...however, if you listen to the news broadcasts on the radio it speaks to the escalating world situation as well.

I saw that response by Ubisoft in the Kotaku story about the ending, they (like both you and I) had no recollection of any broadcast like that during their playthrough. If it's that much in the background, it might as well not be there at all.

Now if it were really a situation where YOUR Actions cause Joseph to unload a nuke, that would be a chilling ending, especially since you could have just walked away. But since this is clearly a Global Thermonuclear War, it really renders everything you do and everything you did meaningless.

Re: Far Cry 5 - 3/27/18

Spoiler:
I think right before I killed Jacob as the last lieutenant, I liberated the marina with the chopper lady and I heard on the radio that the shops have that there were bombs raining down on Moscow with deaths in the millions.

While I liked the ending in concept, it definitely wasn’t delivered in a believable way. If the world is escalating to nuclear war, it’s not prophetic but coin-flip wisdom. As you said the only way to make it work is if he set a nuke off, but it might have worked if f the game took place across the world to show the growing hostility, or if the game showed the start of a war not the nuclear holocaust as you play the last portion.

Re: Far Cry 5 - 3/27/18

The ending reminded me of The Mist. Seems like it's out of left field, but the main antagonist has been preaching for hours about it. You the viewer/player just chose not to listen or believe their religious ramblings.

If there was a larger worldwide threat going on, put me in the camp that missed whatever radio broadcasts may have been telling me. If they dropped any major clues though it would undermine the entire cult angle the story is trying to tell.

Re: Far Cry 5 - 3/27/18

One more thing...

Spoiler:
For the record, I only noticed the broadcasts AFTER I had completed the game. Not sure if I was just tuning them out or if they only actually show up after you've seen the ending.

Re: Far Cry 5 - 3/27/18

Spoiler:
I really thought I'd end up as the antagonist going forward... brain-washed and the new cult leader. I didn't expect to be locked up in a cell with John. I'm glad I played this ending.

Conversely, the "walk away" ending felt cheap. Walking away and then conveniently hearing the song that triggers your alter-ego was too contrived, IMO.

Initially I thought I'd welcome a sequel based on either ending but I don't think I want to journey back to this world anytime soon. FC3/4 were so much better in terms of location and means of traveling.

Also, can we please, PLEASE do away with getting high as hell and fighting ghosts or images not there? It's as bad and predictable as having to swim mostly blind, underwater in Tomb Raider games.
