Sooo.....I am about 6-7 hours in and.....maybe it's just me, but this seems to be one of the most frustratingly glitchy/buggy mainstream AAA games I've played in some time. Like, as in bugs that prevent game progress and/or hinder it. I really want to like FC5. I was enjoying it a lot for awhile, but...
1. On more than a few occasions, I have fast traveled only to have crazy amounts of enemies spawn INSTANTLY at the location I traveled to, all knowing exactly where I am, effectively making it an instant death. At higher resistance levels, this basically ensures you will die since helicopters and mounted guns get put into the mix.
2. "Specialist" companions go down in combat, like, instantly. Enemies have insanely perfect aim with rifles and my companions keep getting headshotted almost immediately once combat begins. They are basically useless in firefights. Companions in scripted missions (where you HAVE to use the character) seem to be either invincible OR they die, like, immediately and game over. Not sure what's going on there.
3. In one mission that involved "tailing" someone, the game kept failing me for being either too close or too far from the tail, even though they were not moving at all, just stuck in a glitch AI loop where they kept walking in a circle and repeating their "I might be on alert" dialog. Eventually the target did what they were supposed to, but, only after about 6 fails on the mission for no logically apparent reason.
4. Not sure if this is a glitch or what, but on two missions that involved required companions, the companion instantly died while we were being chased in a vehicles, and then they mysteriously fell out of the car at whcih point I got a game over for "leaving them behind." This happened 3 times in one mission.
5. In one mission, I failed, then when I re-spawned, my required companion/story companion, got back into the vehicle we were using and drove off out into nowhere leaving my mission goal unable to be completed. I couldn't find them and have no idea what happened and only hard-quitting out of the game and coming back in fixed it, but doing so set me back several quest steps.
6. I had a VIP target somehow get inside a building that is inaccessible making a mission unable to finish
7. One time I was killed by a friendly NPC. I was in an outpost that had already been taken over and took a few potshots at a bear that was in the distance, and a nearby random NPC vendor turned instantly hostile and machine gunned me to death.
All of this is making the game....really hard to play, let's say.
