But all of that would normally be ignorable (or at least upputtable) when you devote your energies to just dicking around in the enormous maps, mopping up sidequests, and searching for hidden loot stashes. Then there's the completely awful new crafting nonsense that feels like a least of all possible worlds, the ridiculously underpowered bow (after Primal's glory), repopulating enemies in previously cleared locations for no discernible reason, and an NPC system that probably felt like a good idea right up until they realised no one in the office knew how to start programming NPC AI. The bugs are many and hilarious, with NPCs teleporting, running endlessly into walls, and in my experience, just spontaneously dropping dead when looked at. It is by far the most unpolished entry in the series (I count this series as starting with 3, since that feels right). There's an awful lot wrong with Far Cry 5. Far Cry 5 has the most egregiously bad imposition of its story. Far Cry 5 - to run with the previous analogy - barges up to you, grabs you by the collar, and throws you down onto the ground by its shoes, screaming "MY FEET! WORSHIP MY BLOODY FEET!" Which is to say, engaging with its godawful cutscenes has become less optional. Unfortunately, this time out things have gotten a lot worse.
And when they don't, runs around putting his feet as near to people as he can and declares to the room that this counts.
So then he starts loudly demanding people throw themselves at his feet. Far Cry's self-belief in its own abysmal stories is always so grossly apparent, like a strutting buffoon bursting into the bar and looking around, confused, when every man, woman and animal doesn't immediately throw themselves at his feet. Far Cries 3, 4 and Primal (why is everyone forgetting poor old Primal?) have all occupied me for countless hours, provided enormous amounts of entertainment in their kleptomania-inducing maps, and always done so despite everything it thinks is so compelling about itself. I have very much enjoyed the Far Cry series, most often despite itself.
