We're engineering a mind, so should you | Reuben John | TEDxManipalUniversity (REMASTERED) - Duration: 14:13.This video is the enhanced remastered cut of the original available on the official TEDx channel.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"
put another way technology that empowers us today
make us and gods in the eyes of our ancestors but there's still that one
little thing we haven't got color you see God created man in his own image
can we create machine that can think and live and feel like we it's called the
singularity the point where artificial intelligence in a computer reaches that human
level intelligence. AI or artificial general intelligence is that currently
hypothetical machine that can perform any task the a human can and it isn't a new concept
we've known about you for at least the 1950s and it still remains unsolved or
sixty years later today and the thing is what we do know is that
if you solve it it will be one of the biggest important technology for the
missions you've ever seen so the interesting question now is haha
have become so whatever I shall try and do now is what's essentially summarizing
in decades of progress with meaning the free action you see in the beginning
when computing systems first came into play even for the first time able to
describe to a computer how to perform a task we did this by taking on the task
and breaking it down into a set of simple construction of their computer in
water and this although lead to the software evolution it still leaves us far
from actually giving us a step closer to AGI and what we know the hard way is that
although there's a whole class of problems
which we find trivial, it's extremely difficult to break it down into a set of
intuitive idea that you can elaborate to a computer for instance determining if that
cat is hungry. Does it look hungry? Guys humans are supposed to be intelligent
does that cat look hungry? What about this one yeah so it's
something about that picture because the remember it's just an arrangement of pixels on a screen
pixels are on a screen and yet there is a mathematical relationship between
that picture and the hungriness of a cap and the thing is that there's no way we
could have figured out what that relationship is because the relationship
is a whole stack of formulas it's ... I literally printed it out it's a 10 page
formula and there's no way a human could have figured that out and that's where
machine learning because it because machine learning philosophy rather than
trying to break down tasks into every gas in it every doesn't break it down
into a set of instruction you can follow, why not instead put your effort
to describe to the computer one task, the task how to learn those rules
from examples besides that's how we as humans have been learning for a long
time and this particular machine learning called artificial neural
networks which has shown some amazing results recently the what's special
about them is that they're inspired the health of new neurons in a brain works
and the thing is we're now starting to be able to replicate more and more parts
of the human brain and this is essentially biomimicry through the
creation who mind so for example we've been able to have to get the visual
cortex enough to be able to find cases where these as rules I'm not starting to
beat us at a growing number of cases like not all of us figure out that's a
trap and we will be distracted by all the people and not notice the reals and
these are the actual image for we will give to the algorithms and so we even
being able to go on to other parts of the brain like the auditory cortex
responsible speech recognition and speech synthesis the 1980 American
romance and adventure film directed by Randal Kleiser
that was not a human record words that was the result of yeah learned to mimic
human ways just by looking at the raw audio waveforms to sounds we make and
the thing is even in 2014 there was a jackpot there was
being able to read to convince 30% of the judges that it was human
when masquerading as taking your own Ukrainian boy and isn't going to work
fundamental parts of the brain like the humanism rewards as responsible for
things like your desires in your motivations and by training air systems
by getting them inherently to be addicted to the words and very rewarding
and polite behavior we are not able to train them to be able to beat us at
improving number of tasks in ordering hand-eye coordination you are soliciting
puzzles and it's just growing so all this is just the tip of the iceberg
trust me there's a whole lot going on over here
it just can't be fit into a guitar but we're starting to divide and conquer
more and more parts of the human brain but we still far from creating that one
single system that can learn to perform any task every task that a human can
they're not good at a specific job that we can perform not everything so the
thing is the reason for that is when you're trying to mimic something is
perfect the human brain it was created by evolution in child who has whose many
years ahead of us and millions of years of evolution has resulted in this
amazingly complex I didn't father saying that we were suddenly given the solution
EDI chances are we won't understand it will
be simply too elaborate and complex just as rules for determining gatherings and
that just like me were just like me for machine learning our lives to be able to
learn the rules so gets us pretty close to 80 I wonder what step and get machine
learning algorithms to learn the task it is and remember general intelligence
itself is the task of learning to perform tasks
so in essence create a machine learning algorithm capable of learning how to
learn and this has resulted you know work class new types of algorithms
there's God has yourself dissolving idiot and that's
where we stand today so now you know what it means and hopefully you've got
some idea where we stand today in this amazing problem but from my brushless
extraordinary field something else I got so at home in idea that kept give us the
opportunity to have a profound impact on our lives starting today you can see
something you can see is to be and I know this because just two years ago
including a new board AI all I knew about AI was what you'd see in Hollywood
and what happened to being three just three years ago now is I saw teens come
together the team of individuals with diverse success passions for mechanics
electronics to to computer science and things it had what happened on earth was
the common inspiration when Hollywood's portrayal of AI and the comment now you
believe that the only thing stopping us is not right so we just pulled in a
bunch of our pocket money and it started with the intelligence level for
cockroach and we started moving on to more and bigger problems to the point we
maybe started tackling problems for which solutions don't exist in books yet
because what happened is we even I guess our national well it's contagious
because we started building the global network sponsors and today I'd like to
introduce you for the first time what I think may be the only sending autonomous
car with sufficiently by undergraduates and me Eve as of just last week she's
capable level two
so what I wanna share is what it is that inspired us that took us to every day of
this amazing journey and maybe you can lead to a journey like that to you it
was time for two things I learned two things that I recognized that I think
you can only recognize when you actually get into the field one is that we are
extremely lucky to be at this point right now where there's been many
numerous different driving factors that actually very suddenly happen to happen
in our generation and for example one of the driving factors is that you're not
starting to create new types of processors that are capable of that
would be for the ground up or modern machine many others and the thing is
it's allowed even people like me to build and assemble my own homemade
supercomputer built for AI and it's not like it cost that much because of modern
technology it's even possibly gonna allow us to actually power the very
hungry meta learning algorithms that are not too practical as of today the second
thing is this this field has been unusually no prerequisite knowledge for
example and this has allowed one of our members of the team to make the best
research paper rewards right one of the most prestigious international
publishers and aside from that if the unusually high degree of open sourcing
in the field because today you can actually build on top of the same
software will like multi-billion dollar software companies and all of this has
driven what I think is the most important factor is experimentation
because what happened is just a few recently I had a hunch
just a hunch that you can measure creativity by measuring the lack of
boredom which you can approximate
predictability and within literally six hours I was able to get a bunch of us to
learn polka dots creativity and unique to one another and another thing is that
some of the most impressive Valley isn't of you I actually started off seeming
very contrary event reporting on stupidity for example who they guess
they're just do anything and killing neurons in an artificial neural network
actually increases the performance and robustness of these networks and that
brings me to the second it's that this field is not only an amazing opportunity
for us it's also an even bigger opportunity for me - because then
there's this unique interaction between easier in the mind of a child
my meanness to compensate for the lack knowing anything about the world the
mind of a child is actually one evolutions most powerful learning
systems so thing is they have this very peculiar properties for instance they
have twice the number of neurons as an adult brain they are capable of to a
very high degree and acting and being perceptive to come to very new idea that
change their entire belief systems because they're not they don't have to
drive decades of knowledge they can live unbiased when they connect is a
knowledge which or are the ideal properties I feel of her research it's
just that unfortunately modern sciences have progressed so far that by the time
the amazing minds aren't able to be inherent so much access to knowledge
they are no longer that adorable so the thing is with each yet this low
prerequisite knowledge has allowed us since a long time to once again
deploy evolutions best researchers to the most important research of ATI and
all this is relieving to me because if because remember each
comes to the potential some the greatest in our lifetime so comes the potential
for the most evil in their own ass because it's one of the most powerful
technologies we go except this time you should get your destruction isn't going
to work like it did with nuclear weapons because this time the weapon itself can
have a mind of its own so and the thing is more mega hands to
trust with the creation of these powerful technologies in the hands of
your own all I could show you was a glimpse of amazing things that I've seen
and that's inspired me and hopefully will inspire you because the right
choices I think you're you can watching yourself in the midst of creating a life
that you think live like we if if nothing else it's trading mind it's just

So, apparently Jennifer Lawrence and Rob Kardashian have been dating - Duration: 3:56.So, apparently Jennifer Lawrence and Rob Kardashian have been dating
No, she's not katching up on kopious episodes of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, (well, she could be, she won't WhatsApp me back to confirm).
OK! Magazine reports that she's keeping up with a certain Rob Kardashian instead.
Apparently, the two briefly met in passing in which Jennifer thought he was "sort of cute.
So when Kris approached her about taking Rob out, Jen figured, 'Why not?'.
After a few long phone calls and coffee dates and lunches, Jen is pleasantly surprised!".
As for Rob, the feeling is mutual:.
He's always gone for the bad girls, so Jen is a complete breath of fresh air.
Nice shady source there, having a dig at a certain Blac Chyna perhaps? It would be rude to speculate ….
Despite seemingly being super pal-y with Kim K, Jennifer recently said the friendship was "one-sided".
However, she's still a fan.
They are smart, grounded and normal and funny.
They're very nice people, [they're] very close, [they have a] loyal bond with one another, which I think is a positive thing to put out into the world.".
"They've been absolutely lovely to me," Lawrence added.

Hillary Email Probe Is Taking Too Long, So The FBI Makes A Swift Power Play - Duration: 2:25.Hillary Email Probe Is Taking Too Long, So The FBI Makes A Swift Power Play
It has been four months since House Oversight Chairman Trey Gowdy demanded results.
The Hillary Clinton email scandal has been under investigation seemingly forever and
thus far, the FBI has delivered no answers.
This lack of progress resulted in a very bold reminder last week:
House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte sent a subpoena to the Justice Department
for documents related to Clinton's private email server.
They're tired of waiting and they want to get things done.
And the American people deserve answers!Well, the FBI simply can't ignore this subpoena
and so, they're stepping up.
Big time.
FBI Director Christopher Wray said this week that he plans to double the number of FBI
staff to handle Goodlatte's request, which also includes an inquiry into the Justice
Department's alleged bias.
Said Wray:
"Up until today, we have dedicated 27 FBI staff to review the records that are potentially
responsive to Chairman Goodlatte's requests.
The actual number of documents responsive to this request is likely in the thousands."Now,
that staff will be increased to 54 and Wray added that the doubled team "will work two
shifts per day from 8 a.m. to midnight" in order to expedite the process.
He finished:
"I agree that the current pace of production is too slow.
As the Director of the FBI, I am committed to ensuring that the Bureau is being transparent
and responsive to legitimate congressional requests."Remember, it has been a full four
months since Goodlatte and Gowdy said they wanted these documents, and obviously, nothing
is happening.
What exactly is Hillary guilty of?
And did a major branch of the American government abuse the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Act (FISA)?
These are questions that need answers and if it requires double the manpower and time,
so be it.
We've always known the gears of government turn more slowly than just about anything
on earth but really, now's the time to step up and make things happen!

Good Friday? Doesn't Seem So Good to Me... - Duration: 8:42.My morning started off by realizing that Faith Wrestle Friday did not post I
scheduled them for 5:00 a.m. because I had I had two pre-recorded I was gonna
film maybe today and I had one on Pharaoh today Hi Kelly
and next week is Moses because I'm being stalked by Exodus there was about two
weeks there that I was being stalked by Exodus so Faith Wrestle Friday didn't
post and I supposedly have a low connection Hi Carissa Hi Betty
so of course during my prayer and scripture time and I in my prayer
call this morning with my team and I work out to worship music it's Good
Friday and God was like nope you're gonna go live today so my first Faith
Wrestle Friday I already have tears in my eyes I'm nervous
This has actually been a topic with Chad and I for a while so if you don't know
my faith testimony you can go back to the YouTube channel and watch it but and
where I am now I'm really like I even just met with my friend Christine I was
like it's all about the loving father the loving father like God is perfect
and his love is perfect and it's all about the loving father it all goes back
to that even being stalked by Exodus which you'll see in the next two weeks
and Faith Wrestle Friday because it will post I it's all about the loving father
and today is Good Friday today Jesus dies on the cross for us and he is
beaten and he is ridiculed and he is I mean it's just like the worst thing ever
if you've ever seen the Passion of the Christ it will stop you forever I think
I have PTSD from it and yet it's so important to watch it if you were a
Christian and a Christ follower but the thing that I struggle with and I think a
lot of people maybe even early in their faith or maybe even in their faith is
what do we always know we know John 3:16 I'm gonna read it so I don't screw it up
even though it's like the most quoted scripture ever at football games and
everything but so I'm in The Voice, "For God expressed his love for the world in
this way: He gave His only Son so that whoever believes in Him will not face
everlasting destruction but will have ever lasting life." And I think what can
be so confusing for some people is that what kind of loving father sends his son
to suffer as he did suffer he did and I know for me when I was like really early
in this faith walk my mother-in-law who is just one of the most faithful women
ever she helped me to really wrap my brain around three-in-one, the Trinity,
and at church you know it's 'The Genius of One' and our brains are just not
equipped to get it really like we're not it's
that's why it's called faith we're not really supposed to understand this three-
in-one and so my mother-in-law she was like here's something that will maybe
help you Father, Son, Holy Spirit, three in one, like water, steam, ice, and water
it can be liquid and it would just kind of help me wrap my brain around like
this three-in-one and when I think it comes to Good Friday and I think a lot
of us who really struggle with the idea of a perfect loving father who we don't
really owe anything to we simply just must lay it all down and surrender
because he did give His one and only Son to die for our sins and to give us peace
and love and mercy in this beautiful life that he has for us like John 3:16
says I think a lot of us get tripped up on what kind of loving father does that
and so I've often have to repeat like I repeat to myself like Jesus is God like
God entered the story he became man he suffered for us and yes it is his son and
that's so [blows lips] like so mind-blowing how do you wrap your mind around that and so weeks
ago I had written Philippians 2:6 to 8 in my
God journal so this is my God journal Faith Wrestle Friday I have like 30
ideas I haven't recorded yet it's weird but today when I panicked and um was
praying that I had to do Faith Wrestle Friday live I did a quick search because
I didn't feel prepared and I was like okay God became flesh God became man and
so I also pulled up John 1:14 and in The Voice it says, "The voice took on flesh
and became human and chose to live alongside us." I say it in my Bible app
reading plans and things like that like perhaps he walked it first, this
'Permission of the And' like Jesus walked this life he knows what it's like to be
angry and to struggle and to suffer and to feel alone he took breaks and took
care of himself he turned to his father he says in the garden like "Take this cup,
I want to do this" and he does it anyways he surrenders and yep I think we have to
remember and we have to share the gospel that Jesus is God that it is God that
entered this story it is God that suffered - it is a son and God and it's
so confusing and I think that's the point isn't that just another piece that
we must lay down and trust him with because when we enter into that
relationship with him we will be able to understand it more so the ultimate
scripture that brought this to me was um on this one I had to mark all my pages
cuz I felt really overwhelmed so Philippians 2:6 through 8, "Though he was
in the form of God, he chose not to cling to the equality with God [because he was
man], but he poured himself out to fill a vessel brand new, a servant in form, and a
man indeed. The very likeness of humanity he humbled himself, obedient to death,
a mercless, a merciless death on the cross."
it's so complicated and yet so simple God entered the story he sent his one
and only Son to suffer for us on the cross
and his son is him and Jesus was human and divine and he struggled just like we
do and he surrendered to his father's perfect love and said your will not
mine
I shared it earlier this week see Christians don't say that yeah they do
Jesus looked at the cross and then he looked at us and he said you're worth it
and if we don't remind ourselves that Jesus is God and our perfect loving
father we get trupped- tripped up in the shit of this world that keeps us from
walking into the loving embrace of our loving father Happy Good Friday okay I'm
done crying cuz Sunday's coming we have to look at today with the lens that
Sunday's coming so I'll answer your comments not live Sunday's coming make it
a great day

So, I just used a Video Editor to edit this wallpaper meme - Duration: 1:23.I'm apologizing in advance if it's too loud because I don't have a mic I'm
using my laptop to record this so I'll be talking really really loudly while I was surfing on
YouTube I came across this video that got
recommend it to me and I was just amazed by wallpaper but then I realized that it
was there was a meme in the black hole so I decided to use the video
editor and edit it into an anime wallpaper meme the choice of characters were
quite a dilemma because it had to be memes because I wanted to submit it
onto Reddit but there was so many memes and it was just so hard to choose then I didn't
wanted to choose any females and not a sexist but you know you get the point you
want cute girls and not I totally digress that and just take a look at the

HOW TO UNLOCK THE BRAKE CALIPER TO THE MTB DISC - Duration: 3:51.Hi guys, I'm Lory Bart, today let's see how to get rid of a hydraulic disc brake.
More than purge, remove excess oil because it can happen during
the winter break, the bicycle brake increases pressure
and so we find this problem like the brake lever with very little travel
and the wheel
completely blocked and does not turn.
What this problem is due to is created inside
of the braking system circuit a pressure that goes to close let's say the tablets
brake so as to lock the wheel. How we do it
solve this problem? it is very simple to act on the bleed adjusting screw, we have to remove the oil in
excess in the circuit let's see how to do it. for example in this braking system
of the Formula we have a bleeding screw like this
And we find another at the bottom of the brake caliper here
to do this you need a torx key after it depends on the type of brake and
it will change size so before buying verified what kind of
Needed tork screwdriver to do this purge first we take some paper and the key
naturally.
We're going to put the paper under the screw
Avoid letting oil over the parts that brakes or on the brake disc.
let's unscrew
Slightly trying to remove the oil one drop at a time
This way
Here and close immediately.
The oil to be removed is very little I recommend this operation is to be done several times depending on the need
Now try again if the wheel turns freely but is still locked then repeat the operation
Richiudiamo
This is the oil that we have removed so very little, try again
Here's how you can see the wheel and free is no longer locked as before
And the brake lever is back. In its right run
you see
So it was no longer blocked as it was before but now it has its run like the other equal brake
Which was free. So it was a very simple operation but I recommend it
always do it several times and let out very little oil because otherwise
you risk getting too much oil out and after the lever
Brake and arrive at the end of the race and after
We need to add oil because we have removed too much, so we go to trials a little at a time
Until we find the freewheel. I hope to have been of help also in this tutorial write in the comments if you have any doubt
I recommend you put a like and subscribe to my channel. Hi guys at the next video!
I wanted to wish you all a happy Easter is a good Easter. At Pasquetta I recommend everyone by bike and dispose of the dove!

Five reasons why this is the best Far Cry game so far! - Far Cry 5 - Duration: 11:23.What's up guys, Rogue-9 here! As those of you who caught my recent live streams know,
I have been having a ton fun playing Far Cry 5 and in this video, I want to share my thoughts
on some of the upgrades to the franchise that, in my eyes, make this game the best Far Cry
title yet! So let's get started! Since Far Cry Primal took a significant step
away from the rest of the series in terms of the style of the game and Far Cry 1 and
2 are by now so old that any comparison would be unfair, I will be comparing Far Cry 5 mainly
to number 3 and 4. And right out of the gate, there is a massive improvement in Far Cry
5 that for me personally is quite simply game changing.
If you had asked me some years ago "What would be the number one thing you would like
to see improved in the Far Cry 3 or even Far Cry 4?" I would have answered: "The shooting!"
Previous Far Cry titles always used to detect hits using the "hit scan" method.
So your bullets instantly hit whatever you're aiming at, as soon as you hit the fire button.
And while this method can work for games that play out at extremely short ranges, like for
instance Rainbow Six Siege, I really didn't like it in an open world game. Add to this
the fact that combat distances were artificially limited by having bullet simply disappear
in mid-air if you were too far away from your target and you ended up with gunplay that
was so limited that it became kind of immersion breaking.
But "Good news everyone!", with Far Cry 5, Ubisoft have finally implemented ballistic
modelling and now every gun will shoot simulated bullets that come with a certain muzzle velocity
and experience air resistance and gravitational drop. For the first time, it is possible to
have longer range gunfights and the added challenge of having to lead a moving target
at range and compensate for bullet drop makes every hit infinitely more satisfying.
I am kind of surprised that not more people are applauding this subtle, yet hugely significant update.
If this was the only change compared to previous games, I would already be satisfied,
but it doesn't stop there! One of the concerns that many people raised
during my live streams was around the performance problems that specifically Far Cry 4 had had,
especially on PC. Now keep in mind that I have a relatively beefy PC but I can say that
for me, Far Cry 5 runs like an absolute dream. I have all the settings ramped up to the highest
possible setting at a resolution of 1440p and I am still getting between 93-and 96 FPS
while in game. For a predominantly single player game that is all I could ask for and
more and while I am speaking of graphics performance, I have to add that the game looks absolutely gorgeous.
Simply trekking through the Montana countryside, hunting & fishing is an absolute
joy for me and I can play this game for hours at a time without doing a single story mission.
Over to my next point: Far Cry 4 had specific missions where you fought alongside NPC companions
and maybe Far Cry 3 had something like that in a limited form as well (I don't even
remember at this stage) but Far Cry 5 again takes what came before and ramps it up another notch.
You can unlock a total of 9 hero companions plus 3 generic civilian NPCs to fight alongside
you and each one comes with two specific skills that can help you in your quests. A simple,
yet effective, command system allows you to control these companions and one of the best
features of having some support is that when you mess up and get downed (whether it is
through enemy fire or from opening your parachute a little bit too late) your companions will
do their best to come and revive you. Far Cry 4 set a precedent by allowing two
player co-op for side quests and number 5 again takes this one step further by allowing
you to also play the main missions with a friend. Whether you end up coordinating with
your friend to execute bad-ass synchronised shots or melee takedowns or you go in all
guns blazing, playing with two players makes this game easily twice as fun. The only downside
here is that while the second player can still earn cash and perk points to progress their
character, any progress in the main or even the side missions will count only for the host.
The previous "skill tree" style progression
system has been replaced with an extensive perk point system and you can gain these points
by completing story missions, side quests, finding them in world or by completing challenges.
The excellent hand-to-hand combat, climbing, parachuting and wing-suit mechanics are all
still present as unlockable perks and allow you to take your character from regular, fragile,
squishy person to over-the-top super hero as you progress through the game.
And beyond these major changes, the game comes with a whole host of subtle little upgrades
that I personally really appreciate. Firstly, everything you find in the game:
from main missions and side quests, to prepper staches, hunting regions, fish habitats, garages,
boat yards, heli pads or plane hangars, all of these things are added to your map and
journal by speaking to local residents, finding maps & magazines or reading street signs,
I mean look at this here! I've found a magazine on the natural plants of northern America
and that has actually updated my map with certain regions where I can find those plants
and the same goes for hunting magazines. This organic way of gaining knowledge of the area
you're in, the people you can meet and the quests you can go on may only be a small little
detail but I absolutely love it. Then you have the hunting and fishing activities
in and of itself. Of course, Far Cry is not a dedicated hunting or fishing sim but I do
appreciate the thought that has gone into refining the hunting mechanics and adding
the fishing into the game. Something that many players may not even notice is that in
previous games, shooting animals was very arcady in that they simply took varying levels
of damage depending on head or body shots but once you did enough damage, they would
simply fall over. Now, animals will react completely differently to clean heart and
lung shots. As you can see, deer for instance will exhibit a very characteristic jump and
kick reaction when shot through the heart and if you follow them up, you will find relatively
realistic blood trails and eventually the animal will run out of steam and go unconscious.
Those of you who have played dedicated hunting sims or even hunt in real life will recognise
and appreciate these little behaviours and I have to say that I am overall impressed
with the level of care that was taken over portraying the natural behaviours of the wildlife.
Maybe in future we can see these mechanics progress even more. I would absolutely love
it if Far Cry would include truly refined hunting and fishing mechanics, on par with
dedicated sims, but until then I am very happy with the progress that has been made so far.
Another set of details that is truly commendable is the way that the guns are modelled. Not
only do the guns looks stunning, with beautiful fire and reload animations but care was even
taken over making sure that for instance open bolt weapons are actually shown to work correctly.
Something that maybe should be standard by now but many other games from recent times
did not bother getting right. Vehicles are of course still present in the
game and are very similar to previous entries in the series. Helicopters are a dream to
fly and instead of the simply having access to ultra-light buzzers, you can now pick from
a selection of armed or unarmed choppers. Armed and unarmed land and water based vehicles
are also included and handle just about as well as they always used to. I know that some
people don't particularly like the driving in Far Cry games but I don't mind it (maybe
because I am used to it by now) and driving a jeep, while a friend operates a mounted
M2 .50 cal is just as awesome as ever. Another subtle upgrade that can be easily
overlooked is that when playing in co-op, your partner can now ride on any part of your
vehicle without the normal jittering and sliding off we are so used to seeing. Providing several
seats in vehicles, that multiple players can occupy, is quite common in many games nowadays
but being able to ride in the front of a boat or in the bed of a truck without sliding and
juddering off, is an awesome update. Is it realistic? Absolutely not! You can ride on
the roof of a car while your buddy slams into oncoming traffic at full speed and you will
still be safe and unharmed. But given the choice between glitching around and falling
off and being glued on in an unrealistic manner, I would definitely choose the second option.
Beside this, the only significant change in the vehicle department is the addition of planes.
I don't mind that they have been added and flying them, even with mouse and
keyboard, works just about well enough but I would have been just as happy without planes
in the game. For me, they are a bit too arcady and given the lack of suitable runways, I
think that people will bail out rather than landing most of the time. Helicopters are
just far more practical and I don't really think that planes work for a game like this.
Adding joystick compatibility for PCs may sway my mind slightly but overall, I still
don't think that planes will ever play a big part for me in this game.
I guess the story is also worth mentioning but I have only played through part of it
so far. What I can say until now is that I am satisfied with the setting and the split
between three different main regions. I've seen some journalists complain that the game
doesn't do enough to provide a commentary on current social issues in America but I
personally don't get that argument. I believe that the game is quite vague about the fictional
cult that you are fighting on purpose in order to avoid causing offence and I don't mind that.
It's almost a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" case where people
were pre-emptively offended pre-launch but now that the game is out, game critics seem
disappointed that it's not offensive enough. I guess you can't please everyone but for
me, as far as I have played for now, the story is providing a perfectly suitable backdrop
and counterpoint to the silly, over-the-top fun that lies at the core of the game.
So the bottom line for me is that as a big fan of the Far Cry series, Far Cry 5 is the
best one yet. I really appreciate all of the little details, like natural animal behaviours,
beautiful scenery and neat world discovery mechanics but most importantly of all: switching
from a limited "hit scan" shooting mechanic to ballistics modelling and increased range
for all of the different types of weapons has in my eyes, made this game a pure joy to experience.
