That part at the beginning where you’re sitting at the table with Pagan Min and he leaves briefly giving you a chance to escape. If you just sit there and don’t do anything for like 10 minutes, he actually comes back and takes Ajay to place his mother’s ashes. Then the game ends without a shot fired.
Similarly, Far Cry 5. At the beginning, when you’re told to arrest Joseph Seed, you can choose to just turn around and walk out the door. The sheriff will agree with you, saying it’s best to just leave him and his cult alone and it would’ve only ended in your deaths if you tried to arrest him. Then the game ends.
I don’t think the nuclear explosion was related to Joseph Seed. He was just a “prophet,” claiming the end times were here. The nukes were going to happen regardless, he was just trying to save as many people as he could, whether they wanted to be saved or not. He was the villain, but only in an “ends justify the means” sense. In the end, he was actually right; the world did fall to nuclear holocaust.
That’s quite the review, I think I still prefer Far Cry 4 (don’t really know why tbh), but 5 did surprise me. Although New Dawn was a giant disappointment, didn’t even finish it
Yes, but the bombs would have dropped regardless. So still the same end result.
Supposedly, the game was supposed to have a lot more atmospheric storytelling. Radios playing in the background, with news reports about rising tensions between the US and some nuclear state. Newspapers left laying around with headlines of nuclear war brewing. TVs playing with reporters talking about some country (Iran or North Korea, maybe?) developing nukes.
These were supposed to be scattered all over the place in ways that the player would obviously cross paths with them. The cult was less “doomsday prepping for no reason” and more “doomsday prepping because they think it’s soon”.
But Ubisoft being Ubisoft, they cut a lot of content because they wanted to launch the game sooner.
Hmm I knew about the crab Rangoon one but not this. Interesting. Also, does anyone know if New Dawn is any good? I’ve skipped the “expansion” titles in the series because I was not a fan of Blood Dragon, but it feels like I’m not giving New Dawn and Primal their due when all the mainline entries in the series have been fantastic.
I personally really enjoyed New Dawn, but it gets a lot of hate from the community. Maybe because each Far Cry game is a completely unique game, and New Dawn is just a continuation of Far Cry 5. I read a lot of reviews that said it didn’t bring anything new to the franchise. Of course! It’s just part 2 of a previous game! You get to see what the world is like 17 years after the events of Project Eden, so the map is the same and a lot of the gameplay mechanics are the same. You do have a community that you’re trying to build up; restoring order and safety amongst survivors of the nuclear fallout, so that’s unique.
One thing I didn’t like was that your character from Far Cry 5 (the Deputy) makes an appearance in New Dawn. Turns out they’ve been brainwashed by Joseph Seed after spending 17 years trapped in a bunker alone with him, so they’re fiercely loyal to Joseph now. Fortunately, Joseph is not the enemy in this game. You actually ally with Joseph’s new group New Eden, so the Deputy (now called The Judge) becomes a gun-for-hire.
I did not like Primal. I played a couple hours of it and just couldn’t get into it. It’s more of a survival game than a Far Cry game. You have to craft everything to survive and you have a stamina bar that depletes unless you regularly eat and sleep. Fast-traveling takes a huge chunk out of stamina, which is annoying and defeats the purpose of “fast” traveling, but I guess it’s realistic.
Unlike most Far Cry games where you’re isolated in a region, trying to overthrow a dictator-wannabe or something, Primal is more about building a community and eventually becoming chief of your own tribe. Sure, there are other tribes to fight against, but it just felt weird not having a solid objective besides surviving. Maybe there’s more plot to it and I just didn’t play enough to get into it.
I still haven’t played Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon. I own both of them and I’ve been meaning to get around to it. I’m an '80s child, so I love the retro-futuristic aesthetic of Blood Dragon. Are they related in story at all, or is Blood Dragon just a standalone expansion for Far Cry 3? If it’s unrelated to Far Cry 3’s plot, I might just jump into it and check it out.
spoileryou can choose to return everything the way it was to restore the timeline and rescue the town.
In “What remains of Edith Finch” you arguably don’t change anything. You just discover what has already happened, then you leave and the story ends. Even more so with “Dear Esther”. Less so with “The Vanishing of Ethan Carter”.
Alan Wake? Unclear what happens and what doesn’t, but one possible interpretation is that the main character is just stuck in a room typing on a typewriter for the entire game.
In Xenon, when you finish level 4 it just restarts at level 1. 🙂
Driver San Francisco kinda. You spend most of the game in a coma, but you do wake up and do some real stuff for the ending.
Depending on your definition of nothing happens, Mad Max too. At the start of the game Max loses his car, meets this car fanatic and for the entire game he helps you build the “Magnum Opus”, the most badass car the wasteland has seen. At the end, you lose your Magnum Opus, he gets killed, and you get your original car back. You have a big impact on other people throughout the story, but as far as the protagonist is concerned, he is pretty much exactly where he started.
Mass Effect 2 kind of pisses me off, ngl. The characters are so good, but the plot is really kind of bad. Forcing Shepard to work with Cerberus makes zero sense, especially since my Shepard went out of their way to murder Cerberus employees for what they did to their squad.
oh, nice. I like getting high and playing surprising games, it usually makes the experience even more pleasant. But I never did LSD, and I’m not sure I could handle it. How does it affect playing something like Stanley Parable ?
Well, it was just funny. It kind of fucked with my brain, but i think i managed to get through the entire game in about 6 hours. I would not play Last if Us, Resident Evil etc, but I also once had a blast in RDR2 on LSD! It was after I had completed the game.
Would love to try something similar to Stanley Parable - I’m looking at Don’t Press The Button! for my next trip in October.
The whole game is an anomaly, plagued with some pourly addressed design challenges and a bit of jank, BUT, it is also wonderfully unique, has everything you could want in a shooter, instant action, high skill ceilling and it ruined gunplay for me with its longer TTK and deep shooting/bullet mechanics (most other shooters are just point and click by contrast).
