Oh my. I won't have time to play this in the 2020s but I am weak. Yeah, I'm in. Sold!

I am cautiously interested. I hated New Dawn and found it to be both boring and cliche.

Far Cry 5 I had a blast in because I was able to mow down religious zealots with glee.

Provided that reviews are decent, I will probably pick this up after I finish Cyberpunk 2077 and Watch Dog Legion.

This looks like it's going to be awesome. I'm down for another Carribbean setting that pushes hard on the latin side. While Far Cry 3 was a cool game, it didn't push hard enough a cultural influence. I think it was in Brazil but despite that, I didn't get the vibes too much other than a your in a jungle often... I'm not sure but I'm getting a Cuban vibe with this one.

Hope it goes well cause I found Montana boring as shiiiiiiiit. Luckily, New Dawn fixed it completely for me anyway. I know a lot weren't into New Dawn and said, oh, it was just a reskin of FC5. Yes, but it made it interesting.

Far Cry 3 was a Pacific island. The setting was generic and just for background. The plot was nonsensical, tied to nothing, and had you play as a frat bro.
It was still a blast.
Far Cry 4 tied it more to a culture and gave us a better villain, and it was great.
Far Cry 5 just felt empty from a plot perspective and the whole game was a let down.
This looks like a return to FC4.

Really enjoyed New Dawn, just hope they are more depth and variety... to well... pretty much everything. The game engine and fundamentals have so much potential.

Oh, and you guys better continue with the real co-op you brought us in FC5!

Coop, yes. I'm really hoping they didn't leave it out, that was the best fun I had playing these games was with a friend.

OK, I did a little digging, UBI has the game already up for pre-order. here are some details that I know some of you want to know about Coop. This is straight from their page.

Release date: February 18, 2021
Genre: Shooter, Open World, FPS, Co-op, Multiplayer
Single player: Yes

So, Yep, I'm a happy camper. This is now high on my want list.

Any coop far cry will be on my list, every time.

Thanks, sounds great!

I just hope it's co-op through the full campaign without limitations, i know i avoided some of the previous installments as the co-op was limited to some side missions / outposts only.

heh. I never knew frag grenades detonated that way. I thought pulling the pin ignited the chemical sequence which led to their exploding. And they say playing video games isn't educational.

So what you usually see in movies and TV is people just instantly letting go of the grip and waiting a couple of seconds. This is called "cooking". If I recall from when I was in the army you have about 5 seconds before it blows. Sometimes less. Obviously you want to cook it so the target has less time to react to it showing up.

Arming and detonation are almost always separated somehow for things humans do. It's way too dangerous otherwise.

Interesting that they would give him credit from BCS but not BB which is where I'm sure a lot of people were introduced to him.

Either way, I can't get enough of the pollo man so this might be the first Far Cry game I check out.

I just checked his filmography, I didn't realize he was born in 1958! Holy shit! I thought he was way younger than that. Ok, not way, but I would have assumed he was born in the early-mid 60s.

He's always been one of my favorite actors. I still remember him Taps, though it was a bit part. And I actually remember him better from School Daze than Do the Right Thing. His best performance, - IMHO - is in Jim Jarmusch's Night on Earth. That's my third favorite film of all time right there. The vignette in New York with Giancarlo Esposito, Armin Mueller-Stahl, and Rosie Perez is the greatest bit ever in a film. Followed closely by Roberto Benini's vignette in Rome. If you've never seen it, you owe it to yourself to see it before you die. It might very well be my "desert island" film. It's certainly GE at his absolute best!
