Far Cry 5 | Game Review | Slant Magazine

Justin Clark: "After years playing at guerilla warfare in foreign countries, Far Cry now brings the terror home to the U.S. of A. In Far Cry 5, the despot of the day is Joseph Seed, a hyper-evangelical doomsday preacher who, with his apostolic family, has completely taken over an entire chunk of Montana and enslaved most of its populace using a mix of hallucinogens and old-time religion."

There's a lot of negative reviews that seem to stem from the fact it wasn't 'political' or left wing enough for them. Seriously. Giving negative reviews because it didn't preach down to how 'evil' people can be.
Edit:this article totally does this. Almost zero talk of video game mechanics. All about politics.
Don't click.

Personally I really like it and the mechanics and graphics are amazing.

Profchaos2222d ago

Yes agree so much I mean it's a foreign country for me still but just because Its home for Americans that's suddenly a problem.

Cyborgg2222d ago

I'm enjoying this game

sibyl12222d ago

Yes... it's all liberals and not right wingers who say things like this...

annoyedgamer306d ago

Wouldn't know since there is no way I would give Ubisoft my money to feed me political propaganda.

annoyedgamer306d ago

You might fool the others here but as one of the few who played watch dogs I know better. This will be an attack on traditional values any man who dares question his government or owns a firearm.

zb1ftw777306d ago

Think I'll skip this game due to the blatant racist undertones.

Thanks.

opinionated306d ago (Edited 306d ago )

"White extremists" lmao. That's a wet dream for modern American left wing hacks. I remember when some crap would pop off like the Colorado theater shooting and the media was hoping and praying it was some tea party nutjob. These people are pathetic and it's a shame that views like this are attached to this game because of the setting. You people are clinically insane.

kalkano306d ago

But you can't deny that there's a push in society of "white Christian males, or any combination of the above, are evil". It's asinine, and stuff like this definitely feels like propaganda.

Those are just a few of the comments from some of the most outspoken right wingers on the site there are tons more comments in other articles.

CaptainObvious8782222d ago

Thanks for the warning Leeroyw.

These pathetic, racist leftist need to get out of my gaming.

All Slant Magazine does is give games bad reviews. Just ignore them.

Hardiman2222d ago

I wasn't expecting to be moved by political ideology from this game! I got it for the large rich game world, weapons and crazy things that happen in Far Cry games!

jznrpg2222d ago

I will find out someday for myself , I always wait for a cheaper copy with all the dlc and such

generic-user-name2222d ago

What a twist, all the left leaning sites were expecting to love this game, but it makes fun of everyone equally instead of just demonising the right so you get scores like this.

Go read the Polygon 6.5 review if you want a laugh.

Rimeskeem2222d ago

I get enough laughs with the current US president.

generic-user-name2222d ago

Oh, me too, as a non American, it's so funny to see the butthurt he has caused.

6 more years!

CaptainObvious8782222d ago

You wouldn't be laughing if an actual criminal was elected instead.

Played and enjoyed Far Cry, Far Cry 3 and 4 campaigns .

-Foxtrot43d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor43d ago

Yeah, 4 was good, was hard choosing which Golden Dawn member to side with, when they were both pieces of sh!t.
I've beaten all the main entries except 2 and 6, ended up uninstalling 6 to download something else instead.

Profchaos43d ago

I'd love a far cry pack with the original PC game (not the half assed port on ps360) instincts, predator even a port of far cry 2 to modern consoles back when these games had their own identity and weren't far cry 3 cut and pastel

Demetrius43d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger8843d ago (Edited 43d ago )

Same here, I don't know why these games get so much hate. I've thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them, with only a couple of exceptions. I wish they'd hurry up and announce Far Cry 7. The only thing I'm concerned about is the rumoured time limit.

Far Cry 5 Has Surpassed 30 Million Players Worldwide

The 2018 first-person shooter has reached this milestone exactly 5 years after its initial release.

Profchaos393d ago

When you're free on every single service it's eventually going to happen.

Profchaos393d ago

Part of PS plus at the moment

ChasterMies393d ago

Far Cry 5 is “free” if you pay for PS+ Extra.

gangsta_red393d ago

Going to have to try and get back into Far Cry. The formula for Far Cry may be fun, but it gets repetitive very fast.

Demetrius393d ago

Been playing this series since far cry 3 I love the adventuring vibe this series gives off even far cry primal is so good, but experiencing far cry 5 in 60 fps crisp graphics on ps5 for the first time is dope it adds life to it, I wana give far cry 6 a second chance couldn’t get into it at first I wonder if it’s worth it

Far Cry 5 in native 60 FPS - available for PS5 & Xbox Series consoles now

Far Cry 5 Official Twitter: "You've been waiting long enough… Welcome to Hope County! Experience Far Cry 5 in native 60 FPS - available for PS5 & Xbox Series consoles … NOW! Far Cry 5 will also have a FREE WEEKEND from March 23-27 on all consoles & PC. Enjoy!"

banger88407d ago

Damn. I replayed it recently on SX with fps boost, and to achieve that they had to downgrade the resolution. Game played great but looked like ass. Wish I had've waited.

blackblades407d ago (Edited 407d ago )

So you saying fps boost lowers the resolution to achieve 60fps? Cause that culteastwitch was praising in a fanboy cok suking way.

Darkwatchman407d ago

It depends on the game. Some keep Xbox One X resolution. Others drop to base Xbox One resolution and settings.

Knushwood Butt407d ago

Nice
Waiting to play this on Extra but have had too much else to play.
So is this a native PS5 version or does the PS4 version run at 60fps on PS5?

Jin_Sakai407d ago

As expected, Far Cry 5 will now run at 60 frames-per-second on PS5,

“as part of a patch that optimises the PS4 game on Sony's new-gen console.”

Knushwood Butt407d ago

Downloading now. I might do a bit of pancake gaming this weekend.

Eidolon406d ago

Not native PS5. But still looked pretty good on PS4 Pro, and at a solid 60fps, definitely a good experience. Sadly games can't break out of PS4 Pro resolutions, for some reason.

LucasRuinedChildhood406d ago

PS4 games can run 2-2.5 times better on PS5. They're basically just changing the framerate cap to take advantage of that. They could actually change the resolution but it might affect the framerate - it's not a native PS5 game so it can't properly take advantage of the hardware. 1620p isn't bad, tbh.

Eidolon406d ago

Was really hoping to read that New Dawn would be upgraded as well. :( Already beat Far Cry 5 + and only like 1 hr into New Dawn.

KeeseToast406d ago (Edited 406d ago )

Pretty nice 👍
Now we’ll only need fps boost for:
Arkham Knight
Bloodborne
The Last Guardian
Assassin‘s Creed Unity
Shadow of the Colossus
Gravity Rush 2

Did I forget something?

Welshy406d ago

The worst part about AC Unity is that it *does* run natively at 60fps, but only when running the 1.0 version from the disc. If you allow the game to update, future patches applied a 30fps cap for some reason.

I don't see any reason it would be difficult to just lift the cap that they added.

CML2406d ago

Shadow of the Colossus already runs at 60fps.
Its possible to play The Last Guardian at 60fps with an unpatched disc version too.

Stanjara406d ago

So why not unlock framerate cap on the latest version? Can't be that hard.

CML2406d ago

Probably because the studio doesnt exist anymore. 🥲

LucasRuinedChildhood406d ago (Edited 406d ago )

Absolutely. RDR2 still sells very well so the lack of a next gen version after GTA5 next gen is really annoying.
