If I wasn't deep into Anthem right now I'd be tempted.

The wrong thread, but are you enjoying it having played more?

Deep is probably the wrong word as that implies a level of enjoyment that isn't there. It still has a lot of issues and I continue to be baffled by some of the design decisions. I'm just trying to get to level 30 to see what the end game is like. The combat is fun enough and seeing the numbers go up is enjoyable but if the end game is just more of the same I doubt I will play any more.

Yeah, seems to be the vibe I'm getting reading around.

Cease your diversionary tactics Alan ¬_¬

Far Cry silliness anyone?

Is this stand alone or a DLC? I ask as I don't own Farcry 5 (and cba to google it :) )
20 squid still sounds like a lot considering it'll be a fiver in a few weeks :)

Aye the game has bombed so it may be even quicker than that.


Wonder if this is the fans now burned out on the series then.

So I happened across a *cough* demo version of this as i wanted to try before i buy. I'm glad I did. What's up with that respawning system?
I clear a small area and loot it, wander out to kill 2 deer and loot them. Wander back to get the last piece of loot from the previous area and it's got a small army in there again!

I cleared it again and finally got the 6/6 loot to mark it as done and then stumbled into the 2 deer again this time with bad guys alongside.

Does this game not care that I'm trying to make an impact on this landscape? If it just forgets everything I've done it wipes out any sense of achievement.

Is this Farcry 2 all over again?

Are you talking about outposts? As far as I understand it from reviews once you clear an outpost you can either turn it over to your mates or allow the enemy to repopulate it again with stronger enemies.

Nah, just a generic waypoint that had a */6 items to loot and a small puzzle to unlock an underground vault thing.
