Honestly 5 had a lot going for it. It removed radio tower puzzles. It way cleaned up on absurd collectaton mechanics of 4, which had gone way too overboard. The survialist bunkers were a neat mechanic to replace a lot of collectaton stuff. I actually enjoyed the side games like the fishing. The gunplay and the customization was iteratedon and improved. The editor where you could make your own missions and post them online was really cool (I made a lot of super complicated stealth missions).

I agree with all of this, but the ending made me so mad I stopped playing them.

I liked the ending of FC5, and think that it lead rather well into the subsequent New Dawn expansion pack.
On the other hand, while I also loved FC3 - I couldn’t get into FC4 at all…
I guess we can conclude that Far Cry is just a very strange series that seems to alienate its fans just about as often as it attracts them!
