The problem with Ubisoft is that they have found the optimal amount of effort to put into their games and still get enough money in return and I mean that in the worst way possible.

[@jjr5233]

Quite so, and very similar to the way Rockstar treats it's RRD2 online.

[@LyaksandraB]

Indeed. In every aspect, not just effort, they have found the perfect formula for the open world pseudo game-as-a-service model. That's why I call every open world game, no matter the company, a ubisoft template game. Because of course everyone making an open world game just imitates the king of the shit pile. Why wouldn't they, with how our version of capitalism works. To be fair, it's kind of awesome how they've managed to distill the format down to perfection. For their purposes, that is, which is monetary gain to the detriment of everything else.

[@channel45853]

@@LyaksandraB the consumers basically say that they are fine with that so, while change may be good, an expensive franchise that can make back its money by doing true sequels will be a smarter move. And even if a Far Cry game fails, would they change the formula or stop making the games?

As a developer who actually knows how to develop, I wanna just pick one problem with this game and show how easy it would be to fix it... 24:24 Cutscenes are physical triggers (in the game world) that you cant see. Entering one will first, remove the trigger (so it cant be triggered again) then start the cutscene. Now, say youre picking up this time trial, heres how easy it would be to make it work properly: Disable all current triggers on the map and keep a cache of the ones that have been disabled. Set up the new triggers for the time trial and enable them (as usual). Upon completion or failing the trial, grab those cached triggers and re-enable them. Done. Ubisoft is lazy as sh*t.

[@Putper]

For sure. So many issues are simply lack of polish. Simple fixes that could've easily been fixed if the developers had enough time to fix them, or if Ubisoft would bother to playtest their games and fix the gameplay issues and bugs that come from it. The issue you use as an example could easily be fixed using collision layers. A standard feature in every game engine that's easy to implement and have super fast performance (due to the engine using bitwise operators on them directly).

[@ihateevilbill]

@@Putper Thats the thing. Off the top of our heads we could probably come up with multiple easy fixes that could take minutes to implement and 15 more minutes to test. It annoys the hell out of me when devs do this kind of thing.

But nope, Ubisoft settled for a bunch of zoomer woke-tards, who filtered the plot through a western-centric lens, filled with "current thing" cultural zeitgeist cringe, rather than observing the actual history of Communism in Cuba and Socialist despots across other South American countries and how it was nationalistic guerilla forces like the Contras that attempted to overthrow the dictatorships.

Y'know, for an island nation that's supposedly been "frozen in time" since the 1960s due to a naval blockade and an embargo, a questionably high number of Yara's denizens seem to have relatively easy access to modern technology such as smartphones and the internet.

[@hilosky]

Actually kinda true to life if Yara is a clone of Cuba. Cubans have some surprising strategies like downloading all the latest shows on the mainland to a USB and smuggling that into Cuba to be copied and distributed. And if prisoners can get a hold of a smartphone then it's not impossible for Yarans/Cubans to have them too.

I didn't like FC6 at first, but I came back a year later and had a blast. Nothing about the game changed - I just set my own rules and made my own fun. The only things I truly hated were some of the characters - selfish, "unique," and needy.

[@Avatarkuky]

@@milessalzer9063 is the game really that bad? what made you just abandon the game?

[@gamerhex7335]

The problem with that, is that YOU had to make the game fun yourself by setting rules. No one should have to do that for them to enjoy the game.

Far Cry 6 can just be named "Ubisoft Open World: The Game" and it would be far more fitting.

[@thientuongnguyen2564]

Or name it "Generic AssAssIn's Cheek: Climbing Towers Edition".

[@floppa9415]

I honestly really don't care much for stories in games but I thought Far Cry 6's story (I skipped everything between Blood dragon and 6, so no idea if the others are the same) so offensivly bad it seriously bothered me. Like the tone of this game only knows two extremes - either its really messed up hard stuff or the goofiest out of whack shit imagineable. If they just allowed you to kill everyone at the end and nuke the island and its degenerates that would have been a worthy ending after being subjected to these "people" for the entire story.

[@unfortunately_fortunate2000]

I have never liked a Far Cry story, ever, 3's was outlandish and oddly paced, 4's was boring and 2D, 5 had some good moments but strange implementation and 6 was painfully drawn out and incredibly dull with forgettable characters, thing is the most captivating part of Far Cry, the gameplay, was also shallow and empty feeling to the point that the main reason anyone plays these games seems to have evaporated. besides Dani the only character I liked was Jonron as she felt the most like a genuine human being in their early 20s while also coping withing a dictatorship but even then, she left very little impact.

I haven't even watched this yet but I know it will be funny, factual and brutally honest. You really have become my favourite KZbin channel by a mile. I also recently bought Far Cry 6 on sale because it was cheap and I honestly thought it couldn't be as bad as most said. More fool me, it was worse than I could have ever imagined, I hated every character in it and the story was so trash I skipped every cutscene and bit of dialogue I could. It was a chore to even finish it and I felt relief when I did that never again would I ever have to lay eyes on the game again. Dreadful doesn't even do it justice, I thought 5 was trash but this is just in a whole new league of it's own.

[@FroggyBunwich]

I'm not a massive Far Cry fan, but I do find most of them decently fun. However as soon as I saw Gus (forget the actors name) was gonna be the main villain I knew it would suck. If a company uses a famous actor as promotion, they're compensating.

Playing Ubisoft games is great if you want to slowly transition from MMO grindset to single player sessions. It's like an MMO, but single player, so here is your good old routine of daily quests and reused assets.

[@hownottoplay5847]

I guess because I bought it for $15 I thoroughly enjoyed the game. I went for a pistol/sniper playthrough and just played it like a stealth game. Very fun that way, and clearing a base with just a pistol really does make you feel like a badass. I recommend playing the game on guerilla mode with 0 HUD. It's very hard, but very satisfying.

I remember the first time I played the game, in the very first outpost you encounter, one of those resistance guerillero (blue guys) casually walked into the outpost, the red guys started shooting at him then there were some explosions and the game decided that I successfully cleared the outpost...

I mean this as harshly as possible: Ubisoft open world games have literally nothing to offer you, in terms of story progression, wide content, or even glitches and getting in your way, that GTA: San Andreas doesn’t already offer. Ubisoft is just making San Andreas over and over, and all they add each time are new microtransactions, and a new useless form of the parkour system.

I remember when Elden Ring came out and everyone was making fun of Ubisoft devs that if they were to make Elden Ring, the screen HUD would be a cluster fuck. The devs responded and got so mad 😂. I hope they learn from successful open world games. I’m looking forward for Avatar Frontier Of Pandora, but reading comments from gamers, and they said it looks like FarCry game but with Avatar reskin. It really sucks if that’s true, because I’m a big fan of the movie. Despite Avatar FoP is made by Massive Studios, they are using the SnowDrop Engine, and the one in FarCry games are different. Speaking of SnowDrop, when Massive Studios made Division 1, they showcased the game graphics at E3 which looks amazing, but upon release they had to downgrade it. It’s due the old gen console’s performances, and keeping the game optimized for better gameplay and frame rates. Now here we are in 2023 with PS5 and XboxSeriesX, those consoles can be capable to run Snowdrop engine well if they can get it optimized perfectly, which has me looking forward to see how Avatar FoP would turn out. Now I’m still keeping my expectations low because it’s Ubisoft and I can tell how buggy the game will turn out upon release. I learned that lesson after Ghost Recon BrokenPoint 😅.
