This is so lame, was looking so much forward to to playing the game with a friend, but now it's a skip on this game.

Palitera3244d ago (Edited 3244d ago )

So the host is the only one to carry mission progress? I can live with that. No big deal to me and still day one.

juliotheman213244d ago

Stupid. all you gotta do is invite your friend to help you do it. problem solved.

smolinsk3244d ago

What?? how does that solve the non progress for both of you in co-op?

Princess_Pilfer3244d ago

Stupid, the friend doesn't get to keep any of their progress so they are wither not getting anything from playing co-op (if they also have their own playthrough) or they're *only* capable of playing with their friend (and vice versa) lest one miss out on story.

Both of those are undesirable.

Pro_TactX3244d ago

Isn't that how it worked in Far Cry 4?

That's a non-issue for me.

smolinsk3244d ago

Far cry 4 didn't have story Co-op

Pro_TactX3244d ago

Right, but I don't think the outpost progress was saved in Far Cry 4. It's been a while since I played it though, so I could be mistaken.

SoulMikeY3244d ago

So like Dark Souls, and Nioh.... not a real problem to me.

Princess_Pilfer3244d ago

No. I can't speak for Nioh, but I can say as fact it's nothing like Dark Souls.

You don't get to keep story progress but you *do* get to keep souls and items, and if you are successful you earn points towards covenant rewards in your own game as well as earning a 30 or 40% health boost in your world for your next attempt. Dark Souls, at least by AAA standards, is also super hard, so the experience you get with enemy placements and attack patterns is extremely valuable.

That is *far* different than "you get to keep nothing."

SoulMikeY3244d ago

Get nothing? Why do we play games again? Oh that's right, you get to have fun with your friend. When did this shit become a job to you snobs? In dark souls you level up, but you literally keep no progress, just like this. So your whole "nothing like dark souls" is exaggerated.

And how do you know if you don't get rewards in far cry? For all you know it's exactly like DS and nioh. We just know that you don't keep progress just like those games. "Just like".

Princess_Pilfer3243d ago

Yeah, I was very specific about what you do and don't keep in Dark Souls. Short version: A lot.

Also, and follow me on this one, doing the same missions over and over again is a great way to burn out and not have fun, as is, say, not getting to have your preferred set of weapons and abilities. Based on what we know, both of those will be true for Farcry 5.

Because if you did, considering the negative press, the simple and easy way to dispell those concerns would be to say so, and they have not. That doesn't mean it's not there, but it is evidence that supports that being the case.

UnHoly_One3244d ago

I hate when games do this.

I want to start at the beginning with a friend and play the entire thing, start to finish, in co-op.

You can't do that if one person gets screwed out of any progression.

Damnit. Well I guess my buddy and I can pass on this one till it is cheap.

What else does anyone expect from poopisoft

Played and enjoyed Far Cry, Far Cry 3 and 4 campaigns .

-Foxtrot798d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor798d ago

Yeah, 4 was good, was hard choosing which Golden Dawn member to side with, when they were both pieces of sh!t.
I've beaten all the main entries except 2 and 6, ended up uninstalling 6 to download something else instead.

Profchaos798d ago

I'd love a far cry pack with the original PC game (not the half assed port on ps360) instincts, predator even a port of far cry 2 to modern consoles back when these games had their own identity and weren't far cry 3 cut and pastel

Demetrius798d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger88798d ago (Edited 798d ago )

Same here, I don't know why these games get so much hate. I've thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them, with only a couple of exceptions. I wish they'd hurry up and announce Far Cry 7. The only thing I'm concerned about is the rumoured time limit.

Far Cry 5 Has Surpassed 30 Million Players Worldwide

The 2018 first-person shooter has reached this milestone exactly 5 years after its initial release.

Profchaos1149d ago

When you're free on every single service it's eventually going to happen.

Profchaos1148d ago

Part of PS plus at the moment

ChasterMies1148d ago

Far Cry 5 is “free” if you pay for PS+ Extra.

gangsta_red1148d ago

Going to have to try and get back into Far Cry. The formula for Far Cry may be fun, but it gets repetitive very fast.

Demetrius1148d ago

Been playing this series since far cry 3 I love the adventuring vibe this series gives off even far cry primal is so good, but experiencing far cry 5 in 60 fps crisp graphics on ps5 for the first time is dope it adds life to it, I wana give far cry 6 a second chance couldn’t get into it at first I wonder if it’s worth it

Far Cry 5 in native 60 FPS - available for PS5 & Xbox Series consoles now

Far Cry 5 Official Twitter: "You've been waiting long enough… Welcome to Hope County! Experience Far Cry 5 in native 60 FPS - available for PS5 & Xbox Series consoles … NOW! Far Cry 5 will also have a FREE WEEKEND from March 23-27 on all consoles & PC. Enjoy!"

banger881162d ago

Damn. I replayed it recently on SX with fps boost, and to achieve that they had to downgrade the resolution. Game played great but looked like ass. Wish I had've waited.

blackblades1162d ago (Edited 1162d ago )

So you saying fps boost lowers the resolution to achieve 60fps? Cause that culteastwitch was praising in a fanboy cok suking way.

Darkwatchman1162d ago

It depends on the game. Some keep Xbox One X resolution. Others drop to base Xbox One resolution and settings.

Knushwood Butt1162d ago

Nice
Waiting to play this on Extra but have had too much else to play.
So is this a native PS5 version or does the PS4 version run at 60fps on PS5?

Jin_Sakai1162d ago

As expected, Far Cry 5 will now run at 60 frames-per-second on PS5,

“as part of a patch that optimises the PS4 game on Sony's new-gen console.”

Knushwood Butt1162d ago

Downloading now. I might do a bit of pancake gaming this weekend.

Eidolon1162d ago

Not native PS5. But still looked pretty good on PS4 Pro, and at a solid 60fps, definitely a good experience. Sadly games can't break out of PS4 Pro resolutions, for some reason.

LucasRuinedChildhood1161d ago

PS4 games can run 2-2.5 times better on PS5. They're basically just changing the framerate cap to take advantage of that. They could actually change the resolution but it might affect the framerate - it's not a native PS5 game so it can't properly take advantage of the hardware. 1620p isn't bad, tbh.

Eidolon1162d ago

Was really hoping to read that New Dawn would be upgraded as well. :( Already beat Far Cry 5 + and only like 1 hr into New Dawn.

KeeseToast1162d ago (Edited 1162d ago )

Pretty nice 👍
Now we’ll only need fps boost for:
Arkham Knight
Bloodborne
The Last Guardian
Assassin‘s Creed Unity
Shadow of the Colossus
Gravity Rush 2

Did I forget something?

Welshy1162d ago

The worst part about AC Unity is that it *does* run natively at 60fps, but only when running the 1.0 version from the disc. If you allow the game to update, future patches applied a 30fps cap for some reason.

I don't see any reason it would be difficult to just lift the cap that they added.

CML21161d ago

Shadow of the Colossus already runs at 60fps.
Its possible to play The Last Guardian at 60fps with an unpatched disc version too.

Stanjara1161d ago

So why not unlock framerate cap on the latest version? Can't be that hard.

CML21161d ago

Probably because the studio doesnt exist anymore. 🥲

LucasRuinedChildhood1161d ago (Edited 1161d ago )

Absolutely. RDR2 still sells very well so the lack of a next gen version after GTA5 next gen is really annoying.
