[@onepoundswallowtwopoundcoc3115]

@Freesmart We don't. I probably will never buy a new far cry ever again. We just want our franchise back. Instead of having this wannabe of just cause, and other games. We want it to have the old far cry identity, instead of this new one. Far cry was more then just some villian on an island somewhere. Now the only reason you know a far cry game is a far cry game is because you have the exact same stuff as previous entries. So what is the problem then? The way they bring it all together changes the game drastically. It is like they don't understand what made far cry far cry to begin with. What's worse it seems they don't care. I hope you could at least understand why we want something we love back. Especially when it can still go places. I played 5, and it isn't far cry. Why even have it. It feels like it was meant as a multi-player game to begin with, and not single player. It doesn't even do that well, and ends up being mediocre all around. Why bother making it like that? Instead they should have just made it an offshoot of the franchise, so that they could just more heavily focus on the crazy shit.

Far Cry 2 and 3 will always be the absolute best for me. 2 is unique, nails the aesthetic of a civil war and 3 created the perfect blend for the formula of story telling and action, each release after that just feels like a 3 remake and the creativity just sort of runs dry

[@kvdrr]

Far Cry 3 also had a powerful message, it explores what happens to a human being stripped down to its basic animal instincts, much like Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket

[@kvdrr]

Far Cry 2 perfectly portrayed the cynical use of ideologies for your own gain, the illusion of choice (US two-party system, one of the characters even quoted US politician directly). The only good characters are the journalist (symbol of following the truth at all costs and staying in touch with reality), the underground (humanitarianism) and Jackal who frequently quoted Friedrich Nietzsche (symbol of how moral nihilism is more intellectually honest - truthful - than ideological hypocrisy). You feel alienated throughout the whole game, and The Truth is your only friend in the end. You'd like to think that staying loyal to an ideology is a good thing, but that's a far cry from reality. You know that the writing is good when you can use the title itself when interpreting the story.

I like the aesthetic, but I really hate how every game needs enemy healthbars and levels now. If it's not an MMORPG or MMOFPS, the game should just let you shoot guns at enemies without having to worry about HP. This is what made Far Cry 2 feel so gritty and heavy. Gunplay felt realistic, enemies reacted to you shooting them, bullets felt like bullets and less like polite suggestions for the enemies to lower their health a bit, enemies would drag comrades into cover if they got shot and got incapacitated. Idunno, it just felt a lot more real. Edit: My dummy dumb dumb brain meant Far Cry 2, not Far Cry 3.

That's kinda the problem because It makes you not wanna use the other guns because the best gun can beat them all so what's the point ?

One thing that stressed me out a lot with this game is the coop friendship circle of doom. Having to stay within a certain radius of each other. Its legit smaller than most of the bases, feels like you're joined at the hip. Takes away so many sandboxy options, you can't approach from different angles, cant have one person being overwatch with a sniper or providing air support with a plane. Not without being within 200 meters of each other, which feels tiny. Can't have one person go find a vehicle and the other work crowd control in bad situations, or persue an objective if the other is pinned down. The game just doesn't feel like its been designed very well for coop, feels more like a lazy addition they implemented at the end. That mixed with the weird rpg elements like enemies having health bars, levels and being bullet sponges really killed our excitement for it within a few hours. :(

I really wish they'd catch the hints and blend the elements back in that made Farcry 2 and 3 so good. FC2 was a lot more hardcore with its navigation, and vehicles were often a valuable resource in certain areas that could cause problems if you lost it- plus the exploration and open-world factor of FC2 was pretty good, they didn't hold your hand and you could progress the story at your own pace and your choices mattered somewhat- that being said, it was still flawed in some respects, but I will hold a special place for FC2. Speaking of FC3, although some might not agree, it was a lot of fun hunting particularly dangerous animals and having to get creative so you could upgrade your stuff. If they could blend some of the (well done) hardcore aspects of FC2 with some of the progression system of FC3, that'd probably make for an above-decent Farcry game. Regardless, it just seems like they're grasping at straws with how to spice up their game and are just throwing new stuff in without much thought to try and draw new people in. If they make an FC7, it's gonna have to be radically different in a lot of areas to hold my attention... the outposts system is so outdated and boring, it would be really cool if they would update this most of all as it's one of the more sorely boring parts of the FC series since FC3.

The story man. Political critique of two-party systems, the illusion of choice, ideological hypocrisy, selfless vs. selfish altruism, intellectual honesty and truthfulness behind moral nihilism. Far Cry 2 was made in times when corporate psychopaths weren't aware that their employees were trashing on them covertly via story telling. They hire dumb storywriters these days to keep people asleep, most people don't know how to interpret stories anyway.

Far Cry however remains the same every single iteration, the graphics improve slightly, the design philosophies remain almost exactly the same year after year after year.

@@Saved-by-Grace Far Cry 3 is better than 2 in my opinion. In terms of gameplay, and overall story, etc.

[@vladz1]

Far Cr as a series kinda peaked for me with Far Cry3 ( and far cry 5 to some extent in terms of setting). The rest of the games now feel like a reskinned Far Cry 3 2.0 now with some rpg mechanics, steampunk weapons and Ubisoft's cringe marketing.

That's Ubisoft bro, once they nail a gameplay formula one time they gonna keep remaking it. Sad we don't have a Far Cry 3 with this game graphics.

The characters are quite cringe and the "revolucion" is apparently led entirely by woke women and a couple of boomers. Terrible AI does not help the fact that the game is already super easy (no hard difficulty really?). I would wait for sale.

If farcry had more destructible environments then it would be the perfect substitute for just cause.

Don't know why, but the guerilla AI seems to love incendiaries.

Goofiness and hardcore torture. That classic sociopathic Far Cry formula. It's almost as if Ubisoft is run by truly awful human beings.

It's absurd.

"It's almost as if Ubisoft is run by truly awful human beings." Well that's one way to describe the French.

[@John.McMillan]

It can be pulled off well too. They TRY to make the player laugh, the entire point is to make the character saying it laugh, think of the same vain as Vaas.

That combo really doesn't sit well with me. Some anime also have this weird fetish with violence. I quite like violent media when done well! But goofy + intimate violence doesn't work for me at all.

I am liking the Far Cry series. I've been playing them in a backwards order. I finished 5, and 4, now I'm playing 3 (classic edition) I'm really liking 3, (besides some of the vehicles getting crazy on me when I'm driving.) and I just got Far Cry 6. Excited to play this one. Since I'm on a binge with these games. These games are a nice pick up and play type of game. I really enjoy the fact That with my busy life, when I am amble to play, I feel a sense of accomplishment with the progress I made and a sense of enjoyment from the time I had playing.

[@maycontainnuts3127]

Far Cry doesn't seem to change, ever. Every time I play a new one I think "I might as well go back and play Far Cry 3" because the experience is still essentially the same and the plot, characters and even missions aren't enough to tide me over to play a new one. I've played every one of them since 3 but 3 is the only one I beat and now I feel like I've beat all of them.

[@tylerhill40]

Ubisoft recycles the same formula is why. Ubi really needs to take a chance and create another original IP like For Honor and Siege. Otherwise is the same boring song and dance.

[@acurlyjew]

I cannot stress this enough, go and play Far Cry 2 if you haven't already as it feels like a completely different game to Far Cry 3. It might be the breath of fresh air you are looking for in the series and it's super duper cheap.

[@JamesT094]

[@Gameprojordan]

Dude I literally thought of this last night. The "new" games (far cry 3-6) all feel the same so the only incentive is what kind of map you want to play on. And for me far cry 3s map seems like the best one because it has the OG tropical island filled with mercenaries vibe to it like far cry 1 did.

[@rendyandrian7149]

One point that I agree 100% "Far Cry starts off pretty challenging the the whole game becomes cakewalk for the remainder of the game". This is pretty much what I feel for every open world game made by Ubi. AC Odyssey slightly alleviate this problem with its randomize mercenary. Although it becomes tiresome later on because player can be constantly chases by that mercs. WD Legions is the worst. Its dumb AI make the game boring even before our character become too powerful. What I would suggest for FC series is make the enemy AI smarter for later level. Making the enemy bullet spongy is the lazy way for adding difficulty in a game.
