Actually, Far Cry 5's ending is good

Writers at Polygon, Kotaku, and other outlets have criticized Far Cry 5's ending. Here's why they are wrong.

I loved it. It was so unreal, I don't think i was the only one laughing my ass off, wondering if this was the bad ending.

To those complaining, I thought it was way fucking better than the cliche arrest the bad guy after proving he was a liar.

Kornholic2960d ago

Of course they are wrong, otherwise they wouldn't be writers for Polygon and Kotaku in the first place.

mastershredder2960d ago

See what this guy did here us what all gamers should do, open your freak’n minds..and cull the gaming journalism herd lol. Great ending. I love it when the bad guys win. Makes people loose their sheet.

ReelBigMike2960d ago

There is no way anyone could convince me that FC5's ending is anything but hot garbage. Loved the gameplay, but the story was a massive missed opportunity and the ending is one of the worst I've ever experienced.

Dark_Knightmare22960d ago (Edited 2960d ago )

Why because you didn’t do the cliche thing and win the day by arresting the bad guy. It’s like Joseph says in the end “you think you’re the hero you’re not all you’ve done is made things worse” which was true and he gave you numerous opportunities quit and walk away. In the end he was right even though he absolutely went about things the wrong way and that’s why I loved the ending it was different. I also think the ending iis a hint to the next far cry setting.

fei-hung2960d ago

I dunno about that. We don't know if the world went to shit or if The Father set up the explosion as a fail safe or if the government nuked the area.

This was an area that was cut off from the outside world where an extremist group had taken over power politically, religiously and physically. They used chemicals agents to brainwash people into believing they are prophets / gods.

What the story offers is pretty shite. It offers:

1) everything you did was for nothing ending
2) questions since you don't know who set what off and why.

There is no real conclusion in either ending other than a set up for another game. Essentially it's a story with a beginning, middle but no end.

That would be fine if it were part of a trilogy or double etc but again we don't know. For all we know it might just all be an illusion from the Bliss that's been pumped into your system and we'll find the truth out in dlc.

It feels very similar to Mass Effect 3's ending where you could argue the same case of celebrating a non cliché ending and the wisdom behind how sometimes things are out of our control and we inevitably just drag out or prolong the inevitable (life, going bald, hair going white, getting wrinkles etc). The issues here are simple:

1) there isn't a true ending
2) nothing still makes any sense
3) everything is questionable

In terms of storytelling, it isn't like bloodborne where you are given depth in lore through establishing a large list of facts that help you understand the history and logic of everything. You're given sparse details and shit happens. You're left without many key facts and non the wiser in the end.

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

-Foxtrot799d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor799d 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.

Profchaos799d 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

Demetrius799d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger88799d ago (Edited 799d 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.

Profchaos1150d ago

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

Profchaos1150d ago

Part of PS plus at the moment

ChasterMies1150d ago

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

gangsta_red1149d 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.

Demetrius1149d 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!"

banger881163d 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.

blackblades1163d ago (Edited 1163d ago )

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

Darkwatchman1163d ago

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

Knushwood Butt1163d 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_Sakai1163d 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 Butt1163d ago

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

Eidolon1163d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1162d 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.

Eidolon1163d 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.

KeeseToast1163d ago (Edited 1163d 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?

Welshy1163d 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.

CML21163d ago

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

Stanjara1163d ago

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

CML21162d ago

Probably because the studio doesnt exist anymore. 🥲

LucasRuinedChildhood1162d ago (Edited 1162d ago )

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