1 was ground breaking, missed 2, 3 was great fun and a great story, but 4 was dull and definitely felt like a slog to finish.

5 is looking like GTA San Andreas minus the big city and i am very excite biggrin
2 has been the best for me.

Tempted by Primal since it's only £16 in the Xbox sale. Worth it?

I never liked the dream sequence parts of FC4, where you have just the knife and the bow & arrow. My understanding of Primal is that it was more of that, so I gave it a miss.

So really it comes down to how much you liked those bits in FC4.

I absolutely hated the dream sequence rubbish in FC4, nearly stopped me from finishing the game.

However I loved Primal. The setting is great, the story is simple but effective, the animal companions work really well. I would definitely recommend it.

I hated the ones that involved flying where you had to get the path exactly right or start again. The rest were OK. I absolutely wanted to murder most savagely those two fks who drugged me though.

This and this. All the dream / temple nonsense in FC4 was just infuriating.

For Primal however, barring two short "dream" missions, there's nothing else akin to it. The whole animal control / interaction thing along with the escort / support missions has also clearly laid the groundwork for FC5. There's an awful lot more to do and a heck of a lot more skills / equipment upgrades to do which keeps one engaged rather longer as well.

I never actually bothered with 4, whilst I enjoyed 3 (aside from every bloody enemy in a 20 mile radius knowing your exact bloody location if you miss one silenced shot) it just looked like more of the same but with a bit more snow.

Just pre ordered the gold edition giving you the season pass which is a first for me. I usually don’t bother since most of the time season passes are a waste of money, but with this they’re offering a few spin off games plus a remastered edition of Far Cry 3. This beeing my favourite out of all the series. Anyone else done the same?

Is it only the gold edition that comes with FC3?

It's being released as a standalone as well but not for a little while after FC5. So it still seems like an incentive for people to buy the gold edition I guess.

Nice to see you again J and J!

I've been getting into co-op Far Cry 4 lately, it's pretty good although I wish you didn't automatically leave the levels after the last kill, would be nice to spend time thrashing about them in all the vehicles without worrying about a sniper.

Cheers fella, hope you are well.

Oddly Far Cry is one I've never played online..... For online gaming I like Battlefield, can have 2-3 friends in your squad and run as a unit.....Whilst chatting...
