Bought it but haven’t played it yet. From what I’ve seen from Twitch this game is pretty damned solid.

I haven't got it yet, but there is co-op. I believe the Arcade mode has multiplayer.
In fact, that Arcade mode has the potential to be this games lasting legacy, it could do for FC5 what Counter-Strike did for Half Life

Why do you hate mute characters? I am just curious, doesn't really bother me. Its like Link in the Zelda games. It's just how they do it.
Yep enjoying this a lot. My only complaint is that enemies look the same to me. Same face, hair and even most of the time outfits. Otherwise I’m addicted. Wish your friend could progress their campaign when you play coop with them. Kind of sucks they don’t allow that.

Yeah I added a silencer to my semi-auto rifle and its great at sitting on a hill sniping dudes / animals but dang, I feel like i'm shooting a bb-gun lol. Which is why I rarely ever buy silencers in any game.

Just picked it up, pumped to play it.
I heard they took the towers out? I can admire a franchise wanting to shake things up a bit, and the whole tower climbing thing has more or less become a cliche for open world games, but I'm actually kind of bummed about it. I still loved that aspect of the games, and would always look forward to the more complex towers the further you'd progress.

Just cleared the island. Love this game so far.
For a game that is set in Montana, the Canadian accents are pretty thick and common.
There’s towers.

Yeah, the towers aren't the type of thing they were in FC3, but they didn't go out of their way to exclude such structures and some missions feature that kind of stuff.
I actually encountered a bug on the side mission where I destroy the satellites on that tower for that Parker dude. You can't get to the final dishes if not for the help of Parker showing up with a heli, but that scripted sequence just wasn't triggered for me, despite several ascents. I ended up getting a heli on my own, jumped out and shot the remaining three while parachuting - and just as I destroyed the final one, they all re-appeared, along with Parker in a heli out of thin air.
Finished the main story for the first area and that John boss. Pretty fun game so far.

Voice acting adds a lot IMO.
That said, I don't mind mute characters so much in games where you get to choose the dialogue, because it's like inserting your own desired personality into the avatar. When they are mute and devoid of almost any interaction, I find it a bit weird.
Not a deal breaker for me, but not ideal.

There sure seems to be a lot of disappointed videogames media folk on this one.

Not surprised that some people are disappointed. The pitch they gave the press for this game was that it was going to be dark and political and then they wimped out. Wasn't hard to see as more footage of it came out, but it's still disappointing considering.
It wasn't that hard to guess that people would end up disappointed if they expected something edgy, political and/or thoughtful. It's a violent shooter from game developers (not documentary filmmakers), from "play it safe" Ubisoft, no less. Whenever game developers try to get serious or thoughtful on a topic, it comes off as laughably shallow, and to attempt to make any kind of point about gun violence in a game glorifying gun violence would've been particularly hypocritical.
Why, also, in a game on which their bottom line and reputation partly rests, would they risk offending so many different types of people, many of which likely gravitate to this kind of game, in order to appeal more to types of people who likely don't as much? Even though the early marketing was misleading, expecting "a different kind of Far Cry," as that article's author did, was still a little naive, IMHO. Ubisoft was going to do what they always do and take the formula that's been working, change the setting again and call it a new game. We shouldn't be surprised by that by now.

Fishing is sure hazardous to one's health in this game. So far I've been attacked by cultists, wolves, bears and skunks. Can't a guy fish in peace and enjoy the scenery?
I'm having so much fun with this game. I bought 4 when it first went on sale and only played a couple hours of it. I just did not like the setting.
I've spent 14 hours in it so far and have almost cleared all of one section. That's the most I've played of a non sports single player game in awhile.
As far as preordering goes, game companies are now giving out keys to streamers days before launch. Wait until then, check out some of the game play, and decide for yourself. That tactic actually got me contemplating purchasing it. I don't understand the stigma surrounding preorders.

Of course gaming media is triggered that a business wouldn’t want to directly offend and mischaracterize over half of their consumers. Corporate Media is the only business dumb enough to do that.
