This weekend, I watched a 13 year-old play Far Cry 5 and the game just seemed like wave after wave of enemies to shoot or blow up (or hit with a shovel). But he also has the patience of a 13 year-old and has no concept of beating a stealth mission by throwing a rock or waiting for a guard to turn around.

It made me curious: does Far Cry 5 have a hidden “GTA police level” system where violence begets violence? Or is the gameplay always basically a shoot ‘em up like Asteroids?

    Yeah, bases and camps can be stealthed, but open world, less so. Hard to not get detected when just driving to the next objective.

    Far Cry is definitely more geared toward frenetic gameplay where you exit and enter stealth multiple times. Enemies rely on a line of sight system with others alerting to your last known location. Camps also have alarm boxes for reinforcements that can be disabled via stealth.
