Ended up getting Far Cry: Montana.

\n

1hr in: yeah that was some bullshit complaining, there are black guys in Montana and these are exactly the Montana kind \u2013 buncha Death Grips-looking wild men and a 2010s-ass pastor from the city who leads opposition to the powers that be

\n

2hrs in: yeah okay fair there\u2019s not that many black guys in Montana

\n

3hrs in: there\u2019s a lot of native guys though, how come I haven\u2019t seen anyone with Oklahoma braids yet?

\n

>@thathopeyetlives - Is the game actually good?

Well, \u201cmore Far Cry\u201d is what I wanted and it\u2019s what I got. Relative to 4 it\u2019s been polished further towards the Unified Open World Genre - more vehicle focus, \u201ccollect X to upgrade Y\u201d stuff folded back into a perk-buy system, Just Cause-style wingsuit inserts on fast travel, NPC allies

I think a lot of that\u2019s just improving mobility in the face of an even larger map, but it makes verticality (that used to be a real challenge and constraining structure) a lot more boring, while distance just gets tedious. Also combat\u2019s been eased a bit - enough spare ammo you aren\u2019t constantly swapping types, more corners to run around and regenerate health, with the allies it\u2019s a lot easier to berzerk your way through an outpost capture.

In general it feels like they\u2019ve traded a more intense game for just more game.

The plotting/\u201cdirection\u201d continues to be decent - fun set pieces and solid \u201cvoice\u201d (and voice acting) for a lot of colorful characters, the Seeds are good heirs to the Vaas/Pagan Min tradition of building compellingly charismatic madness by taking recognizable motivational speaker-style idioms of the empowered self and overclocking them.
