Far Cry 6 Review | It Should Never Have Been Made

It is always a surprise when a video game over-delivers, and Far Cry 6 disappoints in spades. It had an interesting core premise, but sadly the games ambitions were frustrated by minor setbacks. (it's a horrendous, preachy, woke, incoherent abomination, with terrible combat, ridiculous weapon modelling, cliched mechanics, tiresome activities, obnoxious characters, a dreadful narrative, all cobbled together by the lowest outsourced bidders, using drool and chewing gum. It is also very VERY boring.)
Special thanks to Mario J. Martinez, Archangel, Theron, Jason T Barnes, Dean McGee, Steve, Alcoholistair, RageDMX47, Hector Salamanca, Corvo Fox-Gray, FatCat1, Anna Lovatt, Michael Pearce, ATR-42 and all of my Patreon supporters. Their stoic support humbles me.

I am a female gamer, and I major eye-rolled when I saw almost all people in power in this game, were women, and if that wasn't enough, you also had a sprinkle of trans in for good measure. I very much doubt that a South American revolution would be governed by women and the lgbtq people.

Exactly. Its invading all of our damn media. Video games, movies, tv, music, etc. You cant watch a commerical with a straight white couple anymore. They have to be LGBTQ or bi racial. Like the new batman movie, literally all the moral characters except batman is a black person and every other crooked politician or cop are fuckin white! Also they black female mayor says Bruce Wayne wasnt an orphaned because he was rich and has white privilege so he needs to give to charity to repent for his whiteness more or less. Its disgusting that the liberal agenda and propaganda is being shoved down our throat even though we dont care. I just hope we get back to normal because I dont like being told I'm an oppressor because of my skin color or gender. Something has to be done.

I’ve only been playing for about 2 hours and already very disappointed with the total lack of fear and intensity.

I want to feel utterly alone, desperate to survive, scrambling for weapons, running around searching for vehicles. It’s depressing how everything is handed to the player from the get go. Almost threw up a little when introduced to the workbench and the guy said: “This is a safe space, there is no wrong choice.” Maybe a joke. Maybe not. I don’t want to be in a bloody safe space - that’s the entire goddamn point of these games! This isn’t Far Cry. This is Don’t Cry. This is Don’t Try. Most importantly: This is the definition… of failing the assignment, completely.

As you fight your way through the tedium of long bus rides through Mexico, you finally make it to the border. Then you cross and get on a different bus provided by the government, and it takes you to St. Paul, Minnesota where you immediately qualify for Social Security benefits and disability benefits, due to the mental trauma.

Our game's already technically considered a success anyway after getting 100m from epic so fuck em" They prefer guaranteed short term gains with severely lower sales and negative customer feedback. Just seems backwards to me. Money comes and goes when you make good games. But consumer trust isnt something that can just be bought back after its lost. Its really sad to me that some of these games are made by teams of super passionate artists. Then their work is horded and locked away because all that matters is some guaranteed money.

It is a shame to see the state of video games now, it's starting to come full Hollywood circle. Stuff constantly being thrown out effortlessly to rake in dough, or just remasters/remakes that are just blatant cash grabs, I believe this is the dark ages of gaming, nothing new seems to be brought to the table, like cod imo, some games just feel like reskins of the previous one so I never saw a point in buying the annual releases if the current game would just die in a few months.

As much as I loved Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon, all these sequels retroactively make those good games worse, since they play exactly the same, so you don't even get the nostalgia kick when you go back to them, because the instant you start it up, you are hit with the "I literally just played this game" feeling.

it helps me playing Crysis 1-3 and Far Cry 1 and 2 and then you go "ah wow, this is janky, I'm missing Far Cry 3" and ONLY far Cry 3, NOTHING else after, 4 through 6 doesn't exist, you are only focusing on the Jankiness and glitches of the Crysis games and Far Cry 1 and 2 and then 3 feels new again after playing those games for 24 hours, it's pretty good reverse psychology, at least for me it is, I'll never forgive myself if i grew tired of Far Cry 3, (because in my deluded mind, nothing else AFTER that specific game existed, ah, all good)

[@bakerfresh]

I think 4s progression was better than 3...it takes a playthrough or 2 to realize in 3 you have to speed run until you bone to get all the good perks and really have fun with the game. Otherwise you do almost everything and only truly enjoy the game as you play the remaining couple hours as you've unlocked everything trying to unlock your trees and just building up points. I like 5, but I think they streamlined it a little too much. May be easier with multi-player which is great for 5 and 6. Miss the syringe element. Having to fast travel for perks in 6 is cumbersome.

Why is it that many shooter game developers lately think that your barrel and suppressor should be glowing orange after only shooting a few rounds? When I was in the US Marine Corps we shot hundreds of rounds out of the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), and yes, the barrel will get hot (in which case you swap out barrels), but I never saw it glow orange.

Ayy I do see his point about the caliber thing it does make it feel weird if you think ab it, but the early game would feel weird without a rifle,, and giving the player a crazy all-round gun at the start would ruin exploration/crafting. I think thats also why most far crys lock attachment slots of early guns when in reality they could prolly have all attachments even with some piccotinny converter you see on old AK's. Hope this comment helps someone on a purchase decision bc i heard the story was shit so i got this game for the gunplay... but fell in love with every aspect along the way. shii i was gonna end this here but hes making me mad now. He said sum long the lines of -these mechanics would make sense transposed to a fantasy or sci-fi game and should be left from shooters- bitch all far crys fall into fantasy or sci fi so ur point doesnt even make sense and plus most successful shooters-cod-battlefield-csgo has this same problem. p.s. maybe if you played some of the games aforementioned youd be better n could land head shots consistently so you wouldnt have this problem in the first place.

Not if you keep throwing your money at them it won't. Notice the way they all go off trying to insult you and blame you whenever some woke or feminist trash doesn't do well? That's because they NEED an attitude adjustment. They think it's up to them to tell you what you want, because they think we need them. But, we do not need them, they need US. And it's not up to them. They need to be reminded of that. If it ends up as the real video crash then F it. If that's what it takes, because the quality keeps dropping, so they can give us unfinished over priced garbage, because they were more concerned with "ethics" than anything that actually matters. And we know, we already know what they're after, which is games as a service. It's happening because people are become more accepting of it, they're getting away with a little more each year as people accept it like "that's just how it is now". Because you let them get away with it! Is it really not worth closing off your wallet, and putting the controller down for a while, in exchange for an increase in quality?

They also bring up these odd sexist themes with the bad guys. There's a scene with the female Admiral you have to fight in a cutscene with the dictator big bad character saying to her that the female Admiral was a token female hire. That makes no sense to me considering the enemy soldiers you kill en masse are both men and women. My character's bullets are equal opportunity.

Between having someone maybe, in a rare occasion, of which you can seek legal retribution, say mean words to you, and literally having death squads gun down your family, a bunch of empoverished South Americans would pick not thinking like Twitter. Because they're under actual oppression. It's not arbitrary, they don't get to block the ""fashusts"" or to just ignore the words. You can't ignore a bullet. And honestly, out of all FC games to have a suspicion system, this is the worst one. In FC5, your character literally only wore casual clothes (Ignoring the stupid Microtransactions, of course) In this, you look like you're a bandit or scav straight out of fucking Borderlands, with this futuristic handmade apparel.

10:26 Why the heck would the zebra care if you pull a gun on it?!? The zebra has no concept of what guns are! It should be on the ground rolling side to side to break her legs and get her off. Zebras are not docile like horses and pretty much cannot be ridden.

The vehicles and enemies can literally spawn within like a 50m radius .I’ve watched watched whole trucks just spawn. In the same spot thrice. UBI games are so frustrating because they look so realistic but the implementations of their gameplay mechanics take you out of the game and remind you so clearly that you are playing a game, and not like in a fun way. Their mechanics tend to feel like mods rather than designed mechanics that ground you.

[@MrLoader12]

What I really don't understand is , why do these publishers bring in major Actors like Jon Bernthal and Giancarlo Esposito, just to have them be the bad guys...? I really wanted to play as the Punisher in Ghost Recon Breakpoint. That would've been awesome imo

[@Pavewy]

Oh look, a reskinned Far Cry 3, Far Cry 4, and Far Cry 5, but more woke - and thus, more shitty.

[@themanofshadows]

There’s a bug in the game that locks the AR-C (a very powerful rifle this time around) away from you if you complete the Stranger Things DLC mission before obtaining the gun in a treasure hunt. This happened to me, I’d have to restart my campaign playthrough all over just to unlock it.

Cheers for the review brother, I still play Fallout 4 and as a surprise I have started the new Pathfinder game and I cannot let go of it. I am still waiting for something AAA to be worth the time investment ;)

You are very welcome Dodo. Sorry if its a bit salty by even my standards, but I honestly found it incredibly unpleasant to play. I even found myself thinking "I would much rather be playing Far Cry 5". Cant go wrong for £4 in a sale mind hahaha

[@DanielDiaconu1983]

@@camraid9 a little bit, but I like it. Honestly I spent a lot of time playing with the different classes as I am learning the mechanics of the Pathfinder world. But yea, you have multiple choices related to NPC's and companions as the story unravels. Much darker than Divinity and I like the word better, closer to Baldur's Gate and the like. Even if the ruleset is a little bit different.

[@bb5307]

I guess that's why Ubisoft is moving towards a live service approach for their singleplayer games. instead of putting out the same game every year or 2 they will just release one game and milk it dry for the entire generation dripfeeding it ''new'' content.

[@matrix3509]

Whats amazing to me is that anyone still wants to do Ubisoft type content. Their games have all been the exact fucking same since like AC:Brotherhood. I get that these game are, by their nature, repetitive, but how can anyone honesty say they are having fun doing the same shit for a decade?

[@kakarroto007]

I agree that Anton Castillo was literally the best part of the game. Sadly, he only got like 10-15 minutes of actual screen time in a 50+ hour game. What a missed opportunity.

[@MisterMonsterMan]

For me, a guy that entered the series just before 5 and have now played 2-6, I completely agree that 6 has been the worst FarCry yet and 4-5 were the high point of the series for myself.

@@Archangelm127 everyone says that, and I don't disagree, but it was tedious af. Malaria aside, just going around trying to pish the story forward was a chore.

[@Archangelm127]

@@denkerbosu3551 I actually enjoyed it through the end of the first zone. They should have had one map, maaaybe a little bit larger, and not have it be any longer than the first act of the full game. I've played several campaigns, never got far in the second map because of mental fatigue. So yeah, good point. I'd actually kinda forgotten that.

[@reddeaddude2187]

The unfortunate thing is, the idea of having the player be a guerilla was great, not many games do that. They even mention a previous revolution that sounds far more interesting than what we got. It should've been that the protagonist was El Tigre and the story took place in the 1967 revolution. They should've kept the game grounded, no animal companions except maybe a dog. No supremos, no bullshit gear system, no mini map. Resources should've been exceedingly rare and gun jamming should've been an optional setting. Above all else, keep the woke agenda out of gaming.

[@kylestewart4444]

I started the game and was really excited to get into a new far cry game. FC3 was awesome, FC4 was pretty forgettable, I loved FC5 and New Dawn but I couldn’t even get properly into FC6 before the bugs made the game completely unplayable. Worst frame drops I’ve ever encountered. The game would be running at 75fps, I’d open the map and then it was suddenly running at 18fps and nothing fixed it. Even when the frame rate was fine, there was a terrible weapon wheel glitch which made it almost impossible to change weapons. So I decided to put the game on ice until they sorted out the ridiculous bugs. Haven’t touched it in a few months. At least give me the opportunity to like or dislike the game. The way it was, I couldn’t even play it to find out.

I agreed with some points, but "60 million Latin people live in America" so his point was it can't be racist? Huh? Jewish people lived in Germany. Whats his point? Or maybe take a look at what we've done to the actual Cuba. He lost me with that one.

UBI's been a woke company for some time. They always include that little pre-game virtue signalling/pandering disclaimer about how 'diverse' their development team is.

[@kmuck8677]

But they also made a mobile game where the bad guys are basically BLM/Antifa. And the actual workplace culture is full of actual real life misogyny. They're not even actually woke just have zero conviction and will pander to anyone they think will spend money.
