Playdate: Far Cry 5 (04/27/2018)

Been looking forward to this.

More like Far Cry archive

Obligatory calm bad guy invading your personal space and tilting their head to the side as they menace you.

RIP Bear. o7

be nice to the bears please

The part where vinny first gets the chopper and the resulting chaos is classic Giant Bomb.

...I think the moment to do QL has past.

Hopefully The Adventures of Bow and Gun becomes a regular Friday event.

watching Dan play games is like a human migraine tornado, it pains me

This may be the funniest GBE Playdate yet.

I don't like the transition switching between video walls. Makes me dizzy.

Am I the only one who finds this almost impossible to follow? I'm having trouble making out what exactly is happening on screen.

i cried laughing at the Merle shuffle

...you guys ever been in a cult?

Ah the glorious return of ghost truck!

Great stream

Far Cry 5 Endurance Run?

Bear was a crazy motherfucker.

Not a fan of this style of video with two different screens in one, my brain is not good enough to handle it

COOP starts at 37:30

This was way better than I expected, but of course Vinny & Dan playing co-op can make just about anything better.

God I hate Far Cry 5. I hate the games I know I would probably enjoy on a superficial level, but there's just nothing there to draw me in.

@vinny seriously think the way he plays open world games will annoy people? The exact oppositie is true, the way he plays is incredibly fun to watch!

The encounter frequency in this game is insane. Every 20 seconds your "detected" meter flashes and a car with enemies is driving up to fight you.

Once you get access to helicopters and more fast travel locations the game gets a lot less annoying. I forgot what the early parts of this game were like, jesus.

The viewpoints positioned at each opposite corners of the screens is making my head hurt a bit trying to keep up. Fun stream though.

You meet that bunker guy once at the start of the game and then for the rest of it I was wondering who was talking to me over the radio. Sometimes someone would mention his name (I think?) and I was like "Who?"

Such a great character, that guy.

I loved that that bear they freed chomped on a few bad guys, then ran around and set himself on fire before burning to death.

JAKE

More playdates, please.

Wow, it looks like this game is freaking out every five minutes. I've had my share of strange physics and weird encounters in fc5 but I think something about the co-op just turns the dial on the deep end and makes ai routines and spawns bug out.

Anyways, another great show. Hope to see more like it.

Maaaan. If that bear thing had happened to me I would love the hell out of this game. But somehow I have gone through the entirety of that zone with a total of 0 weird open world systems shenanigans happening and I've been like trying to get through everything with weird ridiculous stealth open all the cages kind of stuff

I like Far Cry 5. It's super dumb, and that's just fine.

"REH REH AT THE PUMPKIN FARM"

That opening shot definitely made me try to rub the dirt off the left side of my screen.

@pie: That Dead Island Stream still has the best opening, although this here in entertainment is right up tehre along it, but man I still see that TNT from time to time, when I just wanna laugh :)

This stream was funny as hell and maybe it was because Dan and Vinny don't know how to play this game... But damn, it was hard to watch sometimes. As someone who put over 30 hours and enjoyed Far Cry 5, watching Vinny and Dan made it look like they've never played any video games. Obviously not true and definitely hard to focus and pay attention during a stream, but still tough to see.

All that being said, some hilarious moments with these two playing.

@doncabesa: Imagine he writes reviews... :| he didn't even know which characters he met during the opening..

At about 20 Minutes Full Open World Vinny is achieved. Strap In!

@philipduck: Why would anybody pay attention to the garbage characters and story in this game? Ignoring that shit is the only way to enjoy something that bad.

Great stream. And for the record: I had no trouble following the two viewpoints, and the switching to the one where something was going on at the moment was very well done as well.

Ignoring the awful story is just fine, the true Dan moment was losing one of the defense targets because he was lobbing explosives onto it.

@quipido: agreed it was easy enough to follow. I did feel like the switching was a little random and unnecessary at points, but generally okay.

@hansolol: yeah the early parts of this game were annoying enough for me to refund the game. Which sucks because I really enjoyed playing the other FC games (excluding Primal)

Far Cry 5 jank + Open World Vinny + Agent of Chaos Dan = One amazing stream

Watch as Dan single handedly destroys an American war heroes grave.

Please make this a regular feature. This game is phenomenal for co-op and it would be excellent to watch every week.

@ericsmith:If anyone probably a games journalist...

I would watch this every week lmao

Great , er is This the game with The Bears ?............

need a Bear-cam for next episode maybe /
