Far Cry 5

Far Cry 5: First Impressions

The Evil Twin Of Brad Jones… Making Nostalgia Critic’s The Wall Slightly More Bearable

Sometimes I’ve played games that in one way or another hit really close to home for me, sharing some realism with current times and events. I like games like these because they pose a “what if?” scenario that begs for more questions. The Wolfenstein Series posed the question of what would happen if the Nazi’s won the war? The Bioshock Series gave us a glimpse of what a world run by drug addicts and racist religious zealots would be like, and I won’t even get into the Metal Gear series… we’d be here all night. This game brings you into an area of Montana overrun by religious zealots on steroids called “Peggies” and you have to try and liberate the land after a capture of their cult leader going awry.

This is my first Far Cry game that I’ve played, but so far I seem to be understanding the game mechanics ok. The only part I really had trouble with was the escape part in the truck. Other than that I’ve been having no issues being a stealth killer. :zorak: I’ve already got quite a few hours in, and I seem to have a similar problem with this game that I’ve also shared with Skyrim. There’s so much you can do that it’s easily to get lost in the world. I’ve just been bumming around from place to place, finding interesting ways of killing people from complete stealth to physics based accidents. I even killed a bear with C4 to finish a quest! Truly this game is as American as Apple Pies and bourbon.

I think this is one that I’ll want to stream in the future, but it will have to be Twitch exclusive. It has copyrighted music in it, and unlike YouTube Twitch doesn’t give me copyright bullshit over blurbs of music being played over a radio. I might have to pick back up on this again next week. I’ve taken enough screenshots to at least last the entire week though! :meeseeks:

From what I’ve played so far I highly recommend getting it during a sale like I did. It’s fun, but not full price fun. I’m also wanting to check out New Dawn, heard good reviews on that one.

One Week Later Into Next Month With One Extra Hour

Sorry for falling off of the earth again… Work kept me jumping most of last week between home and work work. I never even got a chance to send the damned packages off…. I wish I lived near a post office that didn’t close at 4:30pm. Will have to try it again tomorrow or the next day. Halloween was probably the busiest day, but I rocked my teeth again with style.

I was pretty tired by the end of the day, and I had to sacrifice my plans to do a Halloween livestream due to taking an earlier shift the next day. But I made up for that last night by finally streaming a fixed Bayonetta:

This easily has to be one of the craziest games I’ve ever played, and it’s so fun and bizarre. Seems to be a reoccurring style Platinum Games is known for when comparing to other titles, they’re not afraid to go over the top. I kinda want to go through all of the ones in my collection and just do comparisons between each in terms if similarities. They all have their differences, but in game mechanics and other nuanced details make their games feel almost interconnected in a way. It would be weird to get each platinum character together for a super fight, but you can somewhat do that already if you mod Smash Bros.

I also did a little sewing today. I had to fix up a couple sweaters that were losing their stitching in certain areas, then I did a little repair job on one of the many shirts I customized years ago. In the center of this V Neck used to be a clear crystal gem that broke recently from old age. I decided to replace it with one of the spare seashells from my craft collection. I really need to go through my wardrobe again and see if there’s anything that I can redecorate, been awhile since I’ve done that. It used to be one of the many things I had fun doing before entering adulthood, heh. Now that they’ve lax’d our dress code again I might have to let my creativity flow a little more.

I thought I’d also check out Far Cry 5. I plan to save that for another post, but suffice to say I’m quite happy with it despite having to make a uplay account… Runs quite nicely, got a good framerate the entire time on Ultra. Now I can relive parts of my vacation in Montana!

I managed to compile an ending for one of the upcoming videos next month. I have one more short animation and then I’ll be able to complete another video to add to my list of releases. I still plan on releasing a Bomberman video at the end of the month; The second part will be released on the first week of December and then this episode will follow shortly after. I originally wanted to complete all four videos before releasing the first one, but figured the way that I’m ending it works. I might even have another video to go by then to follow it, so who knows?

Anyways… Open Thread!
