(I also just noticed that "Watch_Dogs" also went from Montreal to Toronto.) - I also think it's important to make the distinction that Ubisoft consists of multiple studios, as many seem to think it's just this one entity that does everything. - And fun fact; Apparently some studios under Ubisoft even have a rivalry going on, and not a friendly one.

I like your review, but I just don't get what's so "tedious" about FarCry 5's story progression in relation to the resistance meter. If anything, it actually fills up TOO QUICKLY. I remember getting abducted for a mission, then after I finished that particular mission, I drove towards the next side mission I want to do, killing enemies and rescuing folks along the way, thus earning resistance points. And before I even got to the destination, I got marked for abduction again. It was so stupid. But true.. the resistance meter was a pain in the ass, either way, and should have never been put in the game.

[@QaDri93]

Facts. I filled mine up too quickly as well. And I must say that I did enjoy FC5 immensely.

[@SkandiTV]

I think he meant the whole process of "do random side activities" and "get kidnapped constantly" was the tedious part, not that it took too long or anything.

[@thecoolnerdplaysvr5674]

It either took forever to fill or too quickly. It felt unnatural as well. With random snatching and the "chosen" would only activate per region Here when you clap someone. It makes the ENTIRE island go into a higher alert status. Not just your local area. And they're are still patrols. Which I like. 5 after you beat one the entire area was empty. No more enemies. Here you do it there's more. They're far more aggressive.

[@DylansPen]

I thought that the first time I played FC5. The difficulty setting should determine how quickly or how slowly the resistance meter fills up. On replays I purposely do not rescue townspeople in vans or other events that fill up the resistance meter just so the whole thing lasts longer.

[@bend7726]

FC5 is definitely the shortest far cry game for me due to how quick the resistance meter fills up. The main problem for this is the side activities like saving a civillian, blowing up a cult vehicle or killing a cult VIP. They all give too many points. If I can get 400 points for liberating an outpost but get 50/100 points everytime I save a civillian or kill a high value target, that starts to add up quick. I'd also argue that the total amount of points needed to complete a region is also too low as it doesn't give you enough time to enjoy each mission (not to mention some missions can be flat out missed). I had only explorered half of jacobs and faiths region before the resistance meter was filled leaving several missions unplayed. Most players after completing a region wouldn't care to go back and do the missions they missed because there's no more feeling of progression when more can be done in another region. That's my biggest problem with this game. Even if there's mods that alter the resistance points rewarded, a casual player wouldn't use this. This wouldn't be a huge issue if all the cult spawns didn't disappear after liberating a region

The problem to me is not the bullet sponges, is the way it forces you to use this type of ammo, you are forced to use one different for each of the four slots if you want to kill everything on your way, that means you will end up empty of ammo faster on some types of ammo, I think ammo should be added as a wheel selector for every weapon, so you can change ammo when you need it, not mod the ak for armor pearcing and be stuck with that XD.

I just think the overall premise of 5 is better. The whole "What is the player's motivation?" is way clearer in 5 in that all your fellow deputies and the marshall have been kidnapped by cultists. Plus the fact that it's clear from the opening cutscene exactly why you are in Hope County to begin with. In 6 you have no real personal reason to be invested, other then "Oh no he shot up our boat and almost drowned me'. I get that it's Dani's home country but the dynamic between her and Anton isn't even as good as the one between Joseph Seed and a mute protagonist.

Just load armour piercing rounds in all your weapons, and you’re good to go against all enemies. I’ve never used the “soft target” rounds on anything. The poison, fire and explosive rounds come in handy, occasionally.

[@mr.2cents.846]

You can swap ammo typed from the weapons wheel now. They adapted the way you can do it in Far Cry New Dawn. What bothers me a lot are the negative changes they made instead of keeping the good. In both games you can rescue roadside hostages. But now you can't hire them anymore. Big minus. I loved a lot rescuing a sweet girl, than hiring her and have her with me listening to her chatter. You can only have animal amigos accompany you. But when you're down, they don't come and get you back up like in Far Cry 5. But what is almost worse is the weapons customisation. For weapons that are not sniper rifles you can't attach medium scopes. In Far Cry 5 you can attach 6"x and 8x scopes on SMG, LMG, assault rifles and shotguns. Not in Far Cry 6. The best scopes you can put on those weapons are dinky 3x and 4x scopes. I love the vehicles in Far Cry 6. Although the Avispa Buzzer is probably the best one because it can land on a dime. Me favorite is the Angelito Turbo. While flying you can look around while it flies straight. You can even put the controller down and get a snack and it flies by itself. Love the music in this game. BTW Pitbull comes to Vancouver soon. If they can give us more freedom in weapon customization that would be awesome. I also miss the skill tree very much. With it you can have every skill. Now you cave to pick and choose. Not good. If you at least could add skill boxes and get all skills you want. I'd love also way more variety in clothing. Once you have most weapons the vendors have nothing else to offer. Would be nice if Ubisoft could add more pieces like scopes and ammo cartridges and details.

[@rinderknorpelmuhle1790]

I think ubisoft can also just do some of the best open worlds. Above all, however, open worlds that still look good after years. Far Cry 3 and 4 are good examples. They can do that very well and I think they have also become better in it. For example, I love the London in Watch Dogs Legion.

FYI, the muzzle flash talked about at 3:24 (and shown over several firearms after that) is *much more "authentic" in FC6* (as displayed) over 5. FC5 is how a muzzle flash looks on camera filming 30 FPS aka on most KZbin content. That is not how muzzle flashes look in real life, especially on shorter barrels, from the shooter's perspective, and on guns without flash mitigators ('hiders") like on every firearm displayed. If one of the firearms displayed was an AR-15 with an A2 flash hider then yes FC5 would be about right.

I can't believe they didn't add an option for chromatic aberrations though - whilst checking out the scenery I find it so distracting to see that blurry colour fringing around the edges of the screen. In general I quite like the vibrant lighting even though it's not so natural, but some of those sunrises / sunsets are a bit too excessive, as are the bloom effects that accompany them.

[@Jibriltz]

I'm really glad they fixed the ammo type issue, you can now switch on the go and it just reloads the weapon with the chosen ammo type. Also I have to say I like the gunpowder mechanic - I always kind of felt that after a certain point, cash was a bit too easy to come by in FC3 and FC4 and I never had to eagerly wait to put a desired accessory on a weapon. But I am having an absolute blast playing FC6 and I really didn't like FC5 - the silent protagonist meant I didn't care about their story and the characters were quite forgettable so the story I find is the best improvement on the previous game.

The good thing is you do not need to worry about everything. If you focus on just a few aspects on the combat system you likely will do just fine. Also do to the headshot mechanic the ammo is not as big of a deal. Plus just mixing in enough stealth to soften the targets is enough for most players to then finish things off guns a blazing. I have only player parts of Far Cry 2 and 3. Far Cry 4 never seemed to interest me. Far Cry 5 looked better and while I never did get around playing I have watched others play. Far Cry 6 looks WAY more my style. I personally wish there were FAR less cut scenes. Most are not needed as you are just walking in to talk to someone.
