Never played the game, I take it? They're all trigger happy, fundie Jesus Nazis. Also, there are no "babes" in that cult.
All true, I haven't but yeah, was just looking for an excuse to say, dumbbass rednecks white trash!

Adelaide Drubman ruled. I have never laughed so hard in an FC game than I did at her lines. Running a mission with her while you yourself are in an combat helicopter is some real Apocalypse Now vibes.

The best/worst part of Hurk's mother was calling her in as your companion, sending her to a fortress, having her blow everything in the fortress up and kill all the enemies, and get the Stealth award for having never been seen. Sure, your helicopter pilot was seen, but you weren't, so full rewards!

The stories are better though and the characters are more sympathetic.

Unlikely. Hurk Drubman is the best written character in gaming history. No contest. Period. Don't even try arguing this fact.

Hurk's mission was fun, I'll give him that. It was even better when he ran over a deer as he drove us to get that truck.

It's not just his mission that was fun. Quick side note for people who haven't played FC5: You can always have two NPC companions joining you. There are way more useful companions than Hurk but if you just want to have fun then Hurk, ideally coupled with his mom Adelaide Drubman (the helicopter lady), is comedy gold. Honestly. Their verbal exchanges are Pulitzer Price material.

And the gameplay gets really crazy, too, since Hurk's main weapon is a RPG and Adelaide is flying that helo. It quickly gets messy as fuck (think WW3) when you engage in combat with these two jokers on your team. I had tons of fun with FC5 and I think it is way underrated.

Far cry has done nothing new since far cry 3. It is just more of the same. FC5 is annoying as it has stupid interrupts where there are mandatory captures as a means to progress the story. If one was a fan of goofy stuff happening, yakuza series probably does it better, although it is martial arts based instead of guns. The stories are better though and the characters are more sympathetic.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. If Acleacius is into trashy trailer park babes then moar power to him. There ain't no accounting for taste.

It's a lot of gigabytes for a game which can be completed in a few minutes.
