Thanks for the review.

Just a few questions about some things that intrigued me, could you please elaborate more on:

+ No mini map
+ The Far Cry formula without some of its constraints
+ More Far Cry 3 than 4, with full co-op
- Loading screens are looooooooong

Like why no mini map is a good thing, how long are the loading times, etc.

PS. I loved Far Cry 4. Only felt the fatigue with Far Cry: Primal.

Thanks for the review and videos.

The cutscene direction and voice acting in the Faith video is excellent. In fact the intro was great as well. I would prefer this game to have more of a tight narrative focus to be honest...It seems they could make quite a cool narrative focused FPS if they were given the chance. I don't mind the open world setting per se, but the loose Ubisoft formula with a profusion of rather meaningless tasks and encounters gets a bit tedious for me. Still, haven't felt this drawn to a Far Cry game since the first one.

The first Far Cry has nothing in common with what came after it. Completely different game, made by Crytek.
This review has me more convinced that this game won't solve the Ubisoft open world fatigue that I have.

"so let us tell us what we think." Typo?

Well at least someone is reading. :)

Thanks!

"this new opus is most certainly the best in the franchise so far"

thats what i want to hear. hell, want tommorow day ASAP

"The blue GPS line is hideous" IT CANT BE TURNED OFF????? FFFFUUUUUUUUU... 0_0

its not a big city so no need for minimap at all. for more wilderness setting minimap is kinda break the immersing exploration, TESlike compass is more than enough

I don't mind the mini-map nor the other UI elements, Far Cry 3, 4 and Primal have the option to turn off most, if not all, HUD elements. It helps specially when searching for collectables, which are already time consuming even with a mini-map.

As long as there's an option to turn it on again, there's no problem imho. But even if there's not, a modder will add it soon or later. I just want to be able to search for collectables as efficiently as possible.

Mods don't exist on consoles where most of the people will play the game on. Only a patch can fix it.

Sounds like it's good. Far Cry Arcade has me quite excited. Though I think I'll wait and get when the price drops a bit.

Yes, I meant the PC version. But I also use those "100% Maps" sometimes, the ones that show every collectables' locations. That or a guide with images. It's very easy to set up your smartphone or tablet beside you or at the base of your monitor for quick checking.

So even with a console, it makes searching for collectables and/or farming for specific items much easier. I'm actually doing this for certain items in Ni no Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom, which can be a pain if you have to constantly keep opening the menu to check.

Personally I don't care for collectables in a game. But I understand some do. I also use game guides when I'm stuck. I did it last time I was playing Prey. I was constantly picking up Q-Beam cells, but didn't come accross a Q-Beam weapon (I only knew there was a Q-BEAM weapon because it was mentioned in the weakness list of some creatures). So, I checked where to find the weapon and what it looked like. It appeared to be early on in the game.
Well, Prey is a game that gives you very little info. So, when you missed something because you didn't know it was in the game, I think it's fair to check a game guide :-)
