How a Lack of Heart Killed Far Cry: New Dawn

When he said “dogs have a distinctly and fun personality unless they’re a chihuahua” I felt that

[@apexalaska]

I only like dogs that still resemble their wolf ancestors. I think Snowball said it best in Rick and Morty, "Tell Me, Summer, If A Human Was Born With Stumpy Legs, Would They Breed It With Another Deformed Human And Put Their Children On Display Like The Dachshund?".

[@Faden47]

I got 4 chihuahuas and all of them are calm and playful, I guess it just depends how you raise them

[@rouge5140]

even some chihuahuas are nice. they're very rare because they're scared shitless of anything bigger than them and are the size of an apple on a meatloaf and most old bags that want a small dog don't want to take care of a dog but they do exist.

[@apexalaska]

@Radical Larry any dog that has a similar size and still resembles the shape of a wild dog, coyote, dingo, wolf etc. So basically any common large dog. It's not really that I only have a few dogs I like, I like all dogs that are friendly, but I dont like the idea of humans breeding abnormal dogs like pugs, Bulldogs, chihuahuas, those little yappy ones with the creepy all black eyes that look like they are possessed by demons.

“It’s a good game, it’s almost great, but it’s not worth your time” That’s a good quote that resonated with me, I have a long list of profound games and media I should be playing and experiencing, like you say in your other writings, I enjoy learning things and moral lessons from media, to make it more meaningful than a simple escapism. Like you said a lot of games are good, almost great, but a lot aren’t worth my time. I felt this incredibly when I realize I play simple, going nowhere games like call of duty often, simply because the gameplay is dumb fun, and I like customizing guns, when I could be spending my time more wiser, experiencing one of the more profound games on my list or books to read that can truly make me think and feel instead of that pasty repetitive call of duty game.

For me, who had the same feeling as you did ( I assume), I found that really interesting. I started the series with Far Cry 3, which still is my #1 game, and didn't really liked Far Cry 5 in many aspects apart from the gameplay, due to the non linear storytelling and lack of a person as character, (just an animated model holding weapons and you could choose its gender) and for the same reasons didnt liked Far Cry New Dawn, which I just plaed recently. And still I felt some kind of nostalgia with the Far Cry 5 music. Felt weird

In my headcanon, the Deputy undid his zip tie restraint, gave Joseph a beatdown that would shock Hulk Hogan, then left Hope County, finding an unconscious Hudson on the way- while a still surviving Pratt crawled his way into the bunker, found a broken Joseph on the floor and nursed him back to health, and in return the cult leader makes Pratt his judge. In New Dawn, an older, bearded Rook returns to finish what he started.

"Far Cry: New Dawn is well-executed." No, it really wasn't. It was a $40 alpha test box and it felt like one too, with a tacked on fan-fiction tier story to make it more enticing to anyone that played 5. The rarity system was unneeded and EXTREMELY limiting, the enemy scaling was downright awful, the super powers came out of nowhere, the world was even emptier and smaller than 5, and the stealth was still bad, essentially once again boiling down to use the bow or risk getting caught. Far Cry 3 had the ability to drag corpses back around corners and hide them in bushes, why they got rid of that, who the fuck knows. The only saving grace that game had, if you can even call it a saving grace, was that the enemy AI was slightly less stupid by virtue of a longer detection radius. New Dawn was a piece of shit, and quite possibly a scam.

[@dtweeb128]

What??? You can pick up bodies. And you can use a sniper rifle I beat the entire game with using silenced weapons. The map was beautiful in both games and it was nice to see recurring locations and characters. Ruined by a nuclear war. And the notes scattered around that told a story made me tear up from some of the sadder ones. Also the arcade elements was a nice fresh feature and showed you how much damage you do and is more sastifying. Just like dooms enemy degrading and the ability to redo outposts was amazing

As someone who played and finished far cry new dawn multiple times, I say it isn't in any way 'not worth your time'. Like you said the gameplay and takedown animations where arguably the best in the franchise and I do understand that it doesn't at all feel like a typical apocalypse waste land, it feels like a brand new- almost unexpected surprise of a setting. I encourage giving it an open minded try seeing as it is basically a follow up to what happens after Far Cry 5's good ending. It has a great 'New-Eden' lore that makes sense and tells a concluding story to satisfy the people who loved Far Cry 5 and New Dawn. I disagree with what your saying in some areas but that doesn't make what your saying any less true, and in a way, it's what makes all of your videos that much more riveting. I too would have loved a Far Cry New Dawn where dogs replace all NPCs. Thanks.

So, I've found your channel yesterday, and I've been binging your essays since then, and I've noticed a trend. They're really fucking good. My issue with a lot of current video game "critics" (note the quote marks) is that there are so many people who either bitch and whine for the sake of it or to try and direct a "conclusion" that we, the viewer, are "supposed" to agree with. Not all of them, thankfully... just most. There is a very obvious absence (at least from my perspective) in a simpler, more straightforward analysis of what a game is, and I feel like you get that, and have a spectacular way of delivering it in your videos. In this day and age of... what did you call it, bland grey goop of same-iness? Something like that. Anyway, a lot of games that are considered mediocre or even bad by most people (be they critics or average gamers) DO tend to have something to say, or at the very least, something to offer, and I love that you try and focus on that in your videos. You don't just say "this is what it is" in a sarcastic tone (at least not always, and when you do, it's justified completely), you focus on the "what could have been" in a... frankly -- in my opinion -- surprisingly fair way. You don't sugar coat, but neither do you bash games undeservingly. It's refreshing. Oh, also, your humor is fantastic. Just so you know. :D Imma go binge watch a few more of these. P.S. I am seriously baffled by the algorithm sometimes. A channel this good shouldn't have this few subscribers, especially for the genuine care and love you put into your videos. Hope that changes!

Far Cry 5 was the most boring far cry game I've ever played, and I gave up after 30 minutes of playing new dawn, they just don't pull you in, they are so boring and repetitive, I feel this "open world" trend is killing these games, becacuse they are caring less about the story and more about you doing whatever you want, which is fun for like, 10 minutes

[@nikolasferreira3247]

Funny i fell the opposite, i really don't like far cry 3 because how it restricts the player choice of playstyle and almost every mission puts you in a linear path, i also don't like how the story is pretty much shoved at your throat when the previous game had alot of details in the story but only those interested in it would see. Far cry 5 reminds me alot of far cry 2. Both games let you conplete missions the way you want and with the playstyle you want, both have silent protagonists, both have that feeling of freedom. My only problem is that far cry 5 story is shoved at your throat just like far cry 3 but this time your character doesn't talk or show any emotion, Far cry 2 mc didn't talk either but he showed emotions with his gestures and he had a journal where we could read his thoughts about the situation. Far cry 5 mc has nothing.

im honestly hate when people love video games that i hate, but for some reason you kinda changed that, you admitted to the story being garbage, but still enjoyed the gameplay.

[@vidmaurer7032]

@@masonbain7098 yup. Thats becouse of the fact that i see the story of a game as the secondary part of the game. For me gameplay is a lot more important (though i will admit i still LOVE games like the walking dead that are mostly story based games). I see games like that becouse when you play a game with shity gameplay but incredible story, you get bored of the story after like 2 playtroughs. While if a game has a shity story and great gameplay it gets a lot more replay value.

Good video and good editing. You are the A'la mode of Cobblers.

[@nikoveliki4132]

just the music at the end there and honestly any far cry music makes me get super nostalgic and emotional. The farcry new dawn is one of my favourite farcry games but i guess thats because when i got the game on the first day it came out i just wanted some good killing gameplay and all the connection i got from it was because i played far cry 5

[@gabrielpadro5589]

So I watched this video and the one on Far Cry 3's story and well... THANK YOU for acknowledging that the story of Far Cry 3 is actually really good! Thought the years on the internet I have seen to many people not give the game's story enough credit for how it toys and subverts video game and FPS conventions. Far Cry 3, unlike so many video games, makes a real effort to make you question if what you are doing is right and gives the player character a fucking character arc. Do I think that Far Cry 3's story is a master piece in storytelling? no and I do have issues with it but it is still by far the best plot in any of the Far Cry games and it is disappointing that no other game in the series has manege to top or even match it. And yeah I agree that Far Cry New Dawn has killed whatever heart the franchise had left. Honestly I was already disappointed with Far Cry 4 and Far Cry 5's ending and New Dawn destroyed whatever investment I had in Far Cry. Now I honestly could not care less what Ubisoft does with Far Cry as I have accepted that Far Cry 3 was something of a lighting in a bottle in terms of how it merged its gameplay with the story.

[@DJPeachCobbler]

Merging game play and story is a difficult thing to do, and I honestly now question whether or not 3's strength in that area was just a complete accident. 4 made it clear that ludonarrative harmony wasn't a big deal to them, 5 showed a clear downward trend, and New Dawn shows that they don't care about the story at all anymore. The more time that passes, the more it starts to look like, yep, Far Cry 3 was lightning in a bottle. I think 5 is when I started to think the same thing. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. I feel that Far Cry 3 isn't talked about enough and was one of the best games of its generation. I think it's sort of ignored because of the overexposure of the franchise, leading to its core gameplay loop becoming tiring and bland.

@@DJPeachCobbler: Thanks for responding to my comment. Hopefully a few years down the line people will look back on Far Cry 3 with the same appreciation and nostalgia as Far Cry 2. By the way, in case you have not heard of it, if you want to play Far Cry 3 in a immersive way that is a little closer to something like Stalker, then try out Ziggy's Mod. It is a total conversion mod that changes the game in interesting ways that make it less hand-holding and more challenging while still mentioning the atmosphere and core mechanics of Jason Brody's Big Jungle Adventure.

[@DJPeachCobbler]

@@gabrielpadro5589 that's sounds interesting, I'm busy playing Ruiner right now, but I'll check it out. Far Cry 3 could definitely do with less hand-holding

When people say that hate politics they mean that they hate when the game pushes one side on you and it comes off as tacky abd biased even if you agree with what it has to say. Boiling it down to "eww i dont like gays" misses the bigger issue of not having a real character and some one just cramming a 2d gay person in to pander and make sure no one can criticize the game by using gays as a shield.

[@raze_]

Lmao what a shit take. No actually political game doesnt pick sides. Political themes in games arent debates. We also know its almost entirely complaining about lgbtq+ or racial representation because nobody cries abouy muh politicals for games like bioshock, mgs, nier, fallout, spec ops the line, death stranding etc. All but fallout dont offer anything but one narrative. And even fallout is still consistent about being anti capitalism and anti war. Also characters other than white straight men existing isnt pushing anything the fact you think it does says a lot about you.

[@johnroyal4054]

@@raze_ packing a real small brain over here. What gives you the right to tell me what I or anyone else thinks? Fallout nv is a debate or do you disagree? Bioshock tries to warn of a future warning of what unchecked capitalism leads to. You show a disgusting amount of ignorance and it's this type of thinking that keeps real discussion off the table. Pull your head out of your ass

[@glens2019]

@@raze_ Because they have subtlety and don't beat you over the head with the morals of the story. They show you scenes and let you think for yourself not say "capitalsm's bad y'all" and call foul when people call them out on it. The difference is heavy handed and intended to be a selling point before the game is sold like how Disney keeps releasing with their first gay character in [increasingly specific medium] for the 10th time.

That dam music at the end. FarCry 5 was one of my favorite games because of Seed. I would think about how something like this probably could and might be happening. And that song, always plays in my head.
