Any PC Gamers Around?

That awkward moment when an AMD 6700XT by Gigabyte is so highly overpriced on Best Buy that not even scalpers will dare to spend $1000 for it. Its been two days and still hasn't sold out.

As far as vehicles, I pretty much only use the Helicopters unless forced to use something else so I don't spend a lot of time on worrying about the other vehicles.

I will definitely be getting FC6 but probably 12 to 18 months after release.

Same here, probably will wait for a sale event or go the good ole pirate way.

A few things I would change would be the lack of variety for weapons. Not all boats, planes, vehicles, are fully customizable, other than changing the color, but that is it.
Your followers sometimes seem to have a mind of their own even when you're trying to sneak, they start screaming and get themselves spotted and/or killed.

Some NPCs are rather forgettable, in the sense that they have very little impact on the story line, or their character is rather admirable, sort of like Paarthurnax from Skyrim. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you basically just take jobs from any NPC and call it a day, most of the dialogue is very generic. I did find the main antagonists like Faith or Jacob Seed to have very powerful performances.

The lack of weapon variety has been a problem for a while now. I first played the FC series starting with 3 and loved it. But it seems the weapons (outside a few esthetics and unique options) have basically remained the same since. I still enjoy the games though since I usually stick with the bow lol.

I did enjoy 4 the most because I LOVED throwing rocks at the NPCs and seeing how they'd react and give me cliché Indian insults.

I primarily always use three weapons, a silenced pistol, a bow and a sniper rifle so I never really noticed the lack of variety. In fact I believe i played all the way through FC5 with the same 3 weapons. Oh, and my dog or my boar. I particularly liked the piggy once he couldn't be killed...

I always try out the various weapons. Especially if something new pops up. In 4 they had the Robocop M93R so that was pretty awesome.

i didn't get FC5 because i understood it to rely very heavily on co-op for completion.

is that wrong?



i still enjoy FC 2+3 the most. 4 was ok, but i enjoy running around randomly and taking/re-taking bases, where 4 tended to push the antagonist/storyline too much for my taste.

But do you like onion parfait?

I wouldn't believe so, it would've made it interesting to have someone else playing with me, but I finished the whole game without using co-play. You do have companions and using them all gives you skill perks, but is not heavily necessary since you could get away with only activating them, have them get 3 kills, then dumping them since is the minimum required to get skill perks. Most of them have a mind of their own and I rather snipe away to clear an area rather than going guns blazing. Which is what ends up happening if you have a companion. Unless you get Peaches, which follows your sneak behavior and is the least annoying companion.

FC 5 is very focused on the story, you don't really see the main antagonist, but out of the main 3 bosses you have to defeat, Faith is weirdest and the one that will keep showing up once you reach her area. She's kind of like Alma from F.E.A.R, just follows you everywhere.

Throwing bait into camps and watching wild animals attack is fun.

IF by co-op you mean other players, no you don't need to play online at all to complete the game.

In the game itself there are bot companions that can be useful. I used them mainly to level them up. Not sure you need to use them to complete the game though.

Yea, I do that in the Assassin Creed games too. Release the animals from a distance (with a bow if I have one) then watch the carnage.
