FC2 and FC3 were the best in my opinion as FC2 was a huge improvement on FC and FC3 was a bigger improvement still. They stuck with the FC3 formula since 2012 now and it's getting boring.

[@Alex_1729]

I would love a Far Cry: Secundar, a story during the building of pyramids, but survival type, and not COD type. However, I would welcome more a different game, like Far Cry rpg type in outer space. They could totally make it, but hard to say how successfull they would be.

[@Diree]

It was time for Far Cry to take a break after FC 3. That was the last time the game has truly changed. From FC 1's cheesy dialogue and terrible shooting to roaming through Africa fighting against bush fires and malaria in FC 2 with its degrading weapons to the excellent FC 3 with its great villain, cool gun play, and - for the time - more or less innovative open world gameplay. The problem was when they simply repeated the FC 3 formula in FC 4...and then in FC 5...and now FC ND. But they made all those things that weren't super fun about FC 3 (the grindy aspect) even more irritating over the years. There's barely anything new here. You could recreate those games in the FC 3 engine with some modding and have a similar experience. And, well, then there was FC P...which was basically the same again, only without actually understandable voice acting and without guns. It's just like AC and any other Ubisoft game...stick to the same formula and wait till people are so fed up with your rehashed content that you basically HAVE to do something different the next time. But AC is already back on track to being the repetitive thing it was before...just now with different mechanics.

What is so good about Far Cry 3? Everyone says Vaas is the best, but you kill Vaas a little over a third of the way through the story. People don’t even remember Hoyt really. Citra is fine, but does not really show how she is a warrior, despite being leader of the Rakyat. It was a game that had you climbing radio towers, which was boring then as it was in Far Cry 4. The map was not really that great in terms of exploration, partly because it was divided through the center. It is island, with a few ruins and shack towns. The only reason Far Cry 3 gets praise is because of its story and its UI/upgrade systems.

[@kuribojim3916]

My biggest frustration with the original FC5 is that the game would never leave you alone. If you're out in the wilderness in a quiet area for more than five seconds, enemies will spawn nearby (either they'll drive past, or an enemy aircraft will randomly appear overhead and will somehow manage to always see you no matter how dense the cover around you). I felt that was the weakest part of the original game. Has that been addressed/tweaked at all in New Dawn?

[@billygoatcatfish4754]

YES.That seems to be reduced a lot..but some lone bastard keeps stealing my vehicles! When I go 50 metres from it, I know it's a freindly Npc most the time. Seem to get more wild animal attacks than patrolling soldiers. In farcry 5 would get lots of attention after destroying a vehicle at an intersection and end up with 10 burnt out vehicles blocking the road in the next 10 minutes. Annoying it is. Uses all your ammo when your on your way to do something else. They reduced this in new dawn. Allrhiugh I only played 3-4 hours so far. So far there I seem to see soldiers roaming, before they see me (except for wild animal surprises which are sudden) less road patrols, road presence is mainly random fuel/prisoner transports.

[@tooblind1731]

@Java Monsoon To be honest I already knew you were going to argue against me using the word repetitve. As with any hobby or anything in general - that word can be thrown all over loosely. My personal qualm with Far Cry or with Ubisoft in general, is that they really are pushing open world games out. That being barren open world games that barely differ from one another aside from theme. The thing about repetition is good game play loop. I too would argue against repetition (I suppose you can somewhat consider me a hypocrite) because I love the hell out of Killing Floor 2 and the EDF series. Hundreds nearing thousands of hours in both. And once you get to that point the only difference is guns or mods. So, essentially it comes down to what is worth it. We've been seeing this kind of Far Cry for many many years now with barely any changes. Then the first big change we see is a lite rpg touch to it. I personally don't mind if they change it drastically. Like what happened to the Zelda series with Breath of the Wild. I would need something bigger than just a bland story, edgy theme, and different guns/characters that essentially the same as before. You make a point about iterations basically having quality of life changes. While I'd agree - the game series I personally play don't just have that. An example of a series of love would be the Yakuza series. There's a bunch more than fixing the jank in that. Also I have dabbled being a trucker and spin tires so I can understand that. I would even argue those games have much more redeeming qualities than this Far Cry, ha. Dry joke aside, I get it. There are gamers who whine too much when changes are made or when there isn't change. Those people aside - it still doesn't change the fact that Far Cry has yet to change in a meaningful way to earn its iteration. More of the same is fine but it can't literally be more of the same, if that makes sense. Appreciate the civil reply nonetheless.

In some ways I agree but what game franchise hasn't? Battlefield is not fun any more to me. People raved about GTA5 and RDR 2 but I thought GTA5 was linear and not fun. RDR2 was just boring to me. Both games looked great but there was no fun for me. For some reason I didn't have as much fun with FC4. FC5 & ND are lacking in originality but both are a lot of fun IMO.

Far Cry is in such a weird place. They basically keep making the same game over and over with a different skin and some new elements, and it's never "bad" but it just isn't unique enough to be worrth buying. I think it's time to move on to a new franchise.

[@Frictionfactor]

Fair review. I wish I would have watched this earlier than I did! My instincts told me not to get this, but out of boredom I did... Dammit! I should have listened to my instincts. This feels like a step backwards. Weapon modding is gone. They added in heavy bullet sponginess which is absurd in a "realistic" shooter. A mountain lion taking 90 rounds of 7.62mm to the chest and head? Yeah right! I also hate the home base and how square and neat it is. All the signs look like they are professionally printed, instead of hand painted. Hardly anything in the world really looks like it's post apocalyptic or hand built. They had a huge opportunity to possibly re-invent the Far Cry series, but they blew it with a stripped down cash grab. Ubi is getting as bad as EA with this.

[@ACGreviews]

ya in many ways it does

[@MonoMemory]

Any synthwave in the game?

[@wlouisharris]

I really like this game. They made a lot of improvement to the AI and made bases overall harder. The missions are harder for the most part too. I read this game was shorter than FC5 and maybe from a mission standpoint but you can retake bases at least 3 times. I like the scavenger aspect more as well. You have to scavenge to find items to make your explosives and med kits. You can't just buy them. Still overall I liked FC5 better with what I thought was the best maps, stories, and villians.

Great review. I think I'm gonna pass on this one, or wait for a cheap key. I really loved far cry 5. I think it was fantastic and a great evolution of the ubisoft formula (which I like, if you don't then go look at another developer) I also loved the vietnam dlc, it was really great fun and has me wanting to play a full far cry game set in vietnam. Anywho, this game just doesn't look worth it, not for its smaller size and all the landscape being so colorful and healthy after all the radiation from multiple nukes falling.

I've always been a huge fan of the Far Cry series. I started playing at 2 (maybe my favourite) loved 3 and 4, but at 4 it felt like they were starting to run out of ideas. Before I bought 5, I had plans to buy all the weird and wonderful DLC that went along with it. But I have to say that I was disappointed with 5, it didnt feel like the progression that I hoped it would be (if anything it felt like a big step down from 4) I didnt bother buying any if the DLC and I wont be buying this either. 2 of my favourite games are Far Cry and Fallout and it feels like both are on the slippery slope to oblivion!!!

Yes because it's the exact same game every single time. How do people not see this. I felt like Ubisoft took a gigantic turd on me when I payed for farcry 4 which was just like 3. Never made that mistake again.
