SPOILER ALERT!!! (AGAIN) Oh and one last thing, in the Walk Away ending, if you look at the first part of the brain wash level, I reckon (but correct me if I'm wrong) but the first part of the level, before the bit where you drop down, is meant to be similar to the whitehouse, now I will admit, never been there, only know from movies/comics/news, but I reckon your mission after you kill everyone in the car is to kill the president, then Joseph will launch the nukes and it all plays out the same as Resist only you end up getting killed by the secret service or getting nuked anyway.

2018-04-11 03:53:07 +0000 UTCJim, Love your work and will admit haven't listened to the podcast, yet, but seriously, why is FarCry 5 gushed over so much? I mean as it goes for playing the game it's not bad, but it's not that special, I mean I feel like it's just taking elements from the other FarCry games and trying to push them till they break, in FarCry 3 they had Drugs, so in FarCry 5, let's make it so their are Drugs and Drug effects... EVERYWHERE!!! They even have a mission where you gotta burn the crops... again... Only less boring as no Skrillex. Oh we had little Rotorcopters in FarCry 4, now let's have real helicopters and again, they are EVERYWHERE. Now I'm not saying the game is bad, but the storyline to FarCry 5, now here it annoys me, firstly and SPOILER ALERT!!! I worked out 5 minutes in that even if you killed Joseph Seed it would be seen as him being a Martyr, and sure enough killing all the Lieutenants are all robbed from you by being they were Martyrs, making it pointless to kill them, also none of their "Boss Battles" satisfied me except for John coz that Dog Fight bit was fun. And then to top it off, in not one of the three endings do you kill Joseph, in fact if your a female character the Resist ending ends even darker as two guesses where Joseph Seed is gonna put his Seed? Now not being misogynist or anything but seriously your technically the last woman trapped in a bunker with possibly the last man and to top it off your already tied up... it's fucking messed up... Now I was able to put Joseph in the Arcade and kill him, which allowed me some consolation, not much, but hey you make do with what you got. But here is my biggest gripe, and Jim you've even said it yourself many times, "Games need to show not tell" and FarCry 5 is a massive Tell game. Let me explain, you go along, doing Side Missions, Liberating Outposts (and did you notice when you liberate an Outpost the screen literally cums on you... there are three "fireworks" that splash in the middle of the screen, but I swear they are cum squirts, imo they are foreshadowing how no matter how much you progress the game is just gonna end with it all getting nuked so it's just showing how your really the games bitch with a little bukakke to the face... okay sorry getting off topic). Anyway let e start again, you go around gaining RP and then the game literally stops you to go TELL you some plot, you have no choice, you either get Tranqed or have a Drug Seizure or get shot till you have a Drug Seizure and the game literally forces you to play out it's little storyline, you have literally zero choice in the matter and no you can't leave the mission,ti literally fails you and throws you back to the last checkpoint. The only time you get a choice, is with John and with Joseph. Every other time the game takes away control and you have to go through it's story when it wants you to, now i understand trying new things, but the game is meant to be an open world game, and forcing you into fights is what linear games do, so you got a game with Linear Story telling in Open World and people say it's fine, well sorry I don't I hate it, I'm a bit of a completionist and when it takes control and forces em into it's linear narrative when I was planning to go fishing or had planned to do a side mission or two and it forces story on me after the first, well that is BAD design. Anyway in the end I still like the game, hell I was playing it again last night, but seriously I am worried, see I got a theory, I think as their is all this "weird" controversy shit going around, you know first it was the game is too religious then it was not political enough, well I worry that the peolpe who like the game are intentionally letting themselves miss the actual problems with the game, like weak sauce ending (seriously I saw it ending with the Cult winning 5 minutes into the game and when I liberated the first NPC (the Sheriff in my case) I knew it would end with nukes being detonated (all three NPC's are located in Missile Silos with no nuke inside and three nukes go off in the resist ending), drab open world, I mean not having a go at corn fields, but yeah, so interesting, not to mention the mountains, actually stop and look at the texturing and lighting in the mountains it's actually a step down from previous FarCry games imo, in fact I sometimes run into the Bliss to give the world a shiny look and it actually makes the background look more coloured and interesting. Edit, sorry forgot to end the point: But they are ignoring the bad elements as they are trying to make the game sound more awesome to outpace the weird controversy's, I can't believe some of the reviews saying the storyline was interesting and shocking, I mean cmon, 5 minutes into the game it literally tells you (no not foreshadowing, imo it literally tells you outright) your not gonna win no matter what, and as Is aid it then tells you, "we got nukes, how much you bet we are gonna use them if you kill our leader", and then they don't even let you kill their leader!!! Anyway take what you will from my rant, or take nothing, still love your show and while I don't always agre with everything you say, I still think your awesome.
