Far Cry 5
Anybody been playing it - what are your thoughts? I don't want to really discuss the "political" aspects of this game because they are superficial at best and honestly not really worth discussing. ...

I'd be stoked for an open world Splinter Cell game - so long as they get the stealth right.
I am fine with the lack of visual variety in the setting for FC5 - but like you say, a faction based wanted system could do wonders for making the game as busy or not as you want it to. That said - mission to mission I am having tons of fun and the stealth works fairly well for the outpost missions.
The game definitely empowers the player right from the get go - even though I have died lots, I have never encountered a situation yet that I didn't feel I could beat with the tools available to me. I would love to see a mod for it that drastically reduced the random encounters - but also put the player at a severe disadvantage (slower walk/run speed, weapon degradation, limited ammo reserves, higher buy in on prestige weapons/outfits, perks unlocked slower, etc.). There is enough of the game both in missions / extra activities and world exploration to support a slower more survival based experience that the setting kind of touches on before going full action movie within 30 minutes or so.
As it stands though - it is a blast to play and most of the gameplay mechanics are spot on.
