I knew Far Cry 5 going to be on the top.

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ2219d ago

Game is amazing, best one since FC3 imo!

yeahokwhatever2219d ago

I love it, but I hate the random cutscene thing. Like, instead of driving you towards the story missions, it just plucks you from wherever you are and forces you into a story mission. its annoying.

Elimin82219d ago

@ yeahokwhatever.. I actually like that aspect of it. What I DON'T LIKE is being captured every sec. WTF.

Christopher2219d ago

My biggest complaint with the game as well, yeahokaywhatever. Forces me to focus only on main story content so I don't miss certain missions that can go away if you raise respect level too quickly. Makes side content feel added on more than it should.

"The PS4 version accounted for 60% of the game's sales." DAMN!

"Sea of Thieves, drops to No.3. The game suffered a 52% drop in sales." DAMN!

Team_Litt2220d ago (Edited 2220d ago )

"...which is actually not that bad for a AAA console game."
I'm wondering why you decided to omit that part of the article. I mean it was literally the same sentence...

A Way Out dropped 62%, these things happen, no game is going to match its opening week sales, that's just crazy.

SoT dropped half it's sales, that's not bad considering it sold massively week one.
We were told Ni No Kuni was only tracking for 1 day so that's why SoT beat it.... Where's Ni No Kuni in the top 10 now? Not even a mention in the article. You'd think it didn't release last week at all. Where's your DAMN for No No Kuni bro?

OffRoadKing2220d ago

And looks like that's gonna be about it. Sad face.

......

2 million players isn't = sold
And btw. Sea Of Thieves sold worse ( 22k ) than Quantum Break in launch week ( 28k ) in UK. And Quantum Break before Sea Of Thieves was MS fastest selling new IP. So much about massive sales. You tried!

Team_Litt2220d ago

So Ni No Kuni sold even less than that and couldn't even make it on the top 10 even though you guys claimed it only lost to SoT because it came out late.

Stogz2220d ago

Can you show us proof where SoT sold "massively"?

UCForce2220d ago (Edited 2220d ago )

@Team_Lift Even SoT sold so well, but when MS going to tell us how many Xbox One have sold ? Software sales equal hardware sales. PS4 is reaching to 80 millions units. Few months back, Sony announced PS4 have sold 70 millions units thank to hardware and software. Right now, PS4 is about 76 millions units. When God Of War release, it will boost PS4 units even further. And you are going to bite your tongue for saying hardware sales don’t matter like software sales.

Markusb332219d ago

SOT 29k In the uk is not huge.
No man's sky sold 100k week 1 in the uk and knocked gta off number 1 for a week. Nms considered a failure SOT considered a success? ?? Don't get it

Only 52% drop is actually really good for a big console release.

Xbox had 3 exclusives in the top10. DAMN!

UCForce2220d ago (Edited 2220d ago )

“Exclusive” ? Even those three games never come to PS4. But calling those 3 games are Xbox One Exclusive which is not. Because it’s also on PC. The true exclusive have to stay in one brand and one platform, not different a platform.

UCForce2220d ago (Edited 2220d ago )

Yes, I know MS have Window Central. But PC is an endless tool that every companies can own it. Like Valve, they are biggest PC market and most third party games are always on Steam.

OffRoadKing2220d ago

"Only", LOL. None of those games are exclusive, they can all be played without an xbox.

Team_Litt2220d ago

I'm just gonna leave this here for you since you think a 52% drop is devastating. GT Sport drop 61% after one week. That's almost 2 thirds! You guys are grasping at straws. SoT is selling well and you don't like it.

OffRoadKing2219d ago

61% is a massive drop, and so is 52% but you keep grasping at straws. SOT got reviewed into the ground and you dont like it.

Team_Litt2219d ago

False, I actually do like it, the game and I'm having tons of fun with it and so are millions of other people, unlike Ni No Kuni.

OffRoadKing2219d ago

You dont know who's having fun with what so save the fortune telling rhetoric for someone else. Also its fitting that of all the people you chose to base your online persona on from Suits you picked the sleaziest one of the bunch.

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

-Foxtrot46d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor46d 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.

Profchaos46d 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

Demetrius46d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger8846d ago (Edited 46d 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.

Profchaos397d ago

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

Profchaos397d ago

Part of PS plus at the moment

ChasterMies396d ago

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

gangsta_red396d 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.

Demetrius396d 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!"

banger88410d 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.

blackblades410d ago (Edited 410d ago )

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

Darkwatchman410d ago

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

Knushwood Butt410d 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_Sakai410d 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 Butt410d ago

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

Eidolon410d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood409d 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.

Eidolon410d 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.

KeeseToast410d ago (Edited 410d 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?

Welshy410d 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.

CML2410d ago

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

Stanjara410d ago

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

CML2409d ago

Probably because the studio doesnt exist anymore. 🥲

LucasRuinedChildhood409d ago (Edited 409d ago )

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