I wonder why they announced the release date so early. One could kind of see this delay coming.

Hahaha holy crap I can't wait for this! Thanks for the heads up. I'm already dying to know more about the story and if it's set in the present day or not. Also, I wonder if/how they'll integrate tower climbing in MT? Maybe fire towers?

I was reminded why I stopped supporting GameStop all of those years ago. Grrrr.

So it's kinda the now-or-never time for purchasing WiiU games. Any lesser known must own games I should buy before all things WiiU go extinct?

I bought a game off the website that was listed as new and I received an opened, handled game. Maybe it was a display. That shit pisses me off when they try that shit in store, but they also pull that crap with online orders now? Fuck. I always buy new and by new I mean sealed and untouched. Such a fucking nuisance.

I got a clearly used dash cam in the mail a few weeks ago. Like, it looked to be in fairly rough shape as soon as I opened it. I feel your pain.

I'd be ok if they dropped the tower climb mechanic this time around. Probably my least favorite thing about this series. Platforming in 1st person is rarely fun.

I enjoyed the towers for the first 3/4 or so of Far Cry 4. Then I just started flying over with the helibike and parachuting down.

This promo image from Far Cry 5 makes me think there might be some sort of militia element:

Never played a Far Cry game but it looks like you get to take down a religious cult, which has me very intrigued.

I loved 2 but have hated every other one. I have no doubt this will be terrible as well.

Whatever Burt. This game looks to be about killing religious gun-owning zealots in my backyard, AND they look like hipsters. IN.

OMG this game sounds awesome. I'm most excited for the new canine companion mechanic.
