It's funny how the secret ending is the best canon ending of Far Cry games. I waited for Pagen Min and was able to get to complete the whole point of the game.

If I remember it correctly, Far Cry 4's director once said that even in his opinion that secret ending is the canon ending since it'd make more sense from every perspective lol.

In every Game it Feels like that the alternate ending was the Canon but not in 5

Vaas: goes absolutely mad when interacting with the character. Pagan Min: is clean with his brutality when interacting on the phone. Joseph Seed: interacts with the character every time he goes into a new region and blows shit up. Castillo: let’s go golfing, let’s go golfing.

[@TheTrueSeal]

lmao basically this

[@eckysgaming]

A little more deep into it would also have Vaas: a deep connection with Jason because they're pretty similar, Vaas show that the whole trip to the island changed Jason forever as a person, the ending where you k*ll your friends probably mean Jason embraced the insanity and stop fighting it Pagan: Ajay literal family, Pagan treat Ajay like a son and truly care for him, tho his action might be bad but seeing both ending Pagan doesn't even look that bad anymore and if you just sit tight the game end with Pagan and Ajay joining force Joseph: Intimidating even tho he doesn't even try to and the intro totally make you feel hopeless one of the best introduction to a villain (that feeling when you think they're going to send reinforcement and you get a game full of chaotic gunfight suddenly turn into a semi survival horror game where you're stuck in this country fighting brainwashed people), and the ending have you joining force with him that lead to New Dawn Story where he graduate from being a villain

Felt like Saints Row combined with Far Cry. Third person cutscenes remove the power from the villain yelling in your face. No map editor. 7/10

[@TheTrueSeal]

Ah, the map editor's absence was a massive hit. Although I didn't include it in the video, I still think about it from time to time. It's one of those things that keeps adding to a game's value and the lack of it is just baffling to me, especially with how good the editor from Far Cry 5 was, it's weird that Ubisoft didn't want more people to invest time in Far Cry 6...

[@Skrenja]

"Saints Row" sums it up perfectly. I hate how goofy in tone Far Cry has become over the years. I want Ubisoft to start taking the franchise seriously again.

[@Eagle09-nv5xd]

All great points. I agree with the third person cutscenes, it feels like you are watching the antagonist talking to someone else, but when it’s first person, it feels like he is talking to you. Also I hated how many jokes were in the game. One minute the game is serious, then they start joking, then get serious, then joke: Lastly, I almost forget animals were even in the game. Besides crocodiles, well, that’s all.

[@timhefty504]

I didn’t have a problem with Anton’s lack of representation, he’s running the country and doesn’t have time to chase me down. But having Admiral Benitez was dumb, they try to portray a FASCIST REGIME that has a WOMAN in charge of the entire navy. What I didn’t like about this game was that it’s clearly trying to be a commentary on Cuba, but they swapped communism with fascism yet didn’t even do a convincing job of portraying fascism. Anton’s FASCIST regime is somehow so progressive that they’re perfectly fine with having a WOMAN as their Admiral of their entire navy, but they draw a line at trans people existing. Ubisoft doesn’t know what fascism is

[@TheTrueSeal]

That's an extremely interesting point you have mentioned and I totally agree with it.

[@Crom_Apsotle]

No one these days knows what fascism. Most people especially companies like this think authoritarian = Fascism. The complexities of fascism are honestly too much for smooth brains like ubisoft and it annoys me everytime media tries to portray it

[@YungBeezer]

I don’t think a tenet of fascism is female exclusion, but you are correct that they swapped a communist regime for a fascist one, and portrayed communists in a positive light. It’s quite literally because members of the dev team are outspoken communists and cultural marxists.

[@thrashwerk]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="40">0:40</a> I see it the complete opposite way. Whenever I see a game reveal a well known actor as one of it's characters I automatically assume it's a marketing gimmick. The developer doesn't think they will entice people with the actual game so they're like "Hey! Member Breaking Bad? Member Better Caul Saul? This will be good too!". I like more when for example Rockstar takes lesser known actors or not even actors at all and focus on the actual game.

[@TheTrueSeal]

Well, there are cases where famous actors were cast too. GTA Vice city did it, GTA SA did it, and other than Rockstar Games, major developers like Kojima Productions (both when it was under Konima and when it became independent) created some of the most memorable characters using famous actors such as Keifer Sutherland, Norman Reedus, Lea Seydoux, and more. There are other video games with famous celebrities playing an important role such as CoD, Cyberpunk 2077, AC, and more. The cases where actors' potential wasn't wasted are many actually.

[@cthulhu_bandz]

​@@TheTrueSeal Apart from rockstar the rest of ur mentions added nothing by having celebrity cameos, Norman Reedus, Idris elba in cyberpunk, kiefer Sutherland, all could have been done by someone else ans the game be the same. Kiefer Sutherland objectively made it worse by being a voice

[@ulfaman8927]

I had only three issues with it: the fact that when you ran out of ammo you couldn’t pick up the last bad guy’s gun and keep shooting, the fact that you in a town, equipped with a grappling hook, couldn’t grappel on to all the hundreds of railings and rooftops that littered the game and that they missed the opportunity to let the player take advantage of the fact that little chorizo brought tools with him. The fact that the map was large and not completely jampacked seemed reasonable since it was a country this time instead of that small region that was Kyrat which was supposed to be an entire country. I also think games sometimes need to evolve in more than just graphic and FC6 was not the best game in the series but hopefully they take with them what did work and let go of what didn’t.

[@TheTrueSeal]

These are some interesting things you brought up. I totally agree with you on the gun problem. Like, why can't Dani, a guerilla, pick up weapons from ground? Wasn't Juan screaming the alphabet of being a guerilla fighter from the beginning of the game? And the grapple hook reminded me of how clunky the "supposed" parkour mechanic of the game is which forces the player to jump and grab ledges from certain angles... Sometimes doing those mini platformer missions where you have to follow the treasure route could become extremely painful... So yeah, they really should have utilized the grapple hook more than just using it in convenient locations.

This could be due to multiple reasons. From story and setting to how poor the writing is.

The reason Castillo barely knows Danny exists and focuses on Clara is the whole "Girl Power to the Max" thing Ubisoft has been stuck on since Assassins Creed Odyssey. They had to make Clara the star of the show to make sure that whatever gender the players chose(and they damn well knew what gender the vast majority would choose), an Ultimate Girlboss would be the real star of the story.

[@TheTrueSeal]

My problem is that He knows about other factions too. Even in some scenes he is completely aware of Dani's character but in the rest of the game, he acts as if Dani doesn't exist!

[@TheCrimsonRevenger]

@@TheTrueSeal Makes sense that Antoine would have a focus on every faction leader but Dany. Each of the other factions were all lead by a girlboss too. Except for the one that was split between girlboss and transboss. The farmers were all about setting up the blade chick as the girlboss star, and the Matanzas faction was the girlboss/transboss duo. And by far the worst, most non-sensical quest chain of the game. The only one I liked because at least it had comedy was El Tigre's faction....so naturally they killed him off so we could focus on the Zoomer Squad lead by...you guessed it. Another girlboss. And of course Tigre's team got taken over by the cranky geriatric girlboss. Ironic that the Tigre quest line killed the only girl in the whole damn game that I found genuinely likable. Typical Ubisoft playbook for the last decade. They were gonnas make abso-damn-sure that whatever gender choice the players made, the girls...even the girl with a mustache...were gonna be driving the story. Can you think of another reason why Dani seemed so unimportant to Castillo for most of the game? Awesome female protagonists are not new to gamers but these cringe AF girlbosses? I'm over it. It's to a point now where I just assume any female on screen...especially if it's Ubisoft...is gonna be the cringiest girlboss who ever girlbossed a girlboss. These clowns ruining gaming are even retroactively breaking once-great heroines like Lara Croft. The gaming industry layoffs are not a problem. They're a solution.

I thought the backpack weapons were lowkey lame. 3. The fact there was a whole city in the open world and you couldn’t really do much in it like take vehicles and aircraft in 4. The removal of far cry arcade. 5. The graphics in my opinion look worse than far cry 5. 6. The story was kind of forgettable which is a crime when you have Giancarlo as your main villain. 7. The gameplay felt clunky. If I had to guess I think it’s from the rpg mechanics whereas far cry 5 was much smoother. And 8. I think the open world was kind of forgettable and I didn’t really need a central hub area. Also I guess 9. A lot of the gear and weapons were lame anyway. One positive thing I have to say is the stranger things dlc was kind of cool. I just wish we got to fight more enemies from the show in it. But I had a good time with that expansion.

[@decahex5142]

i think its also the base enemies in this game that make it feel less like a far cry, in previous games, the pirates/peggies all had this sense of ferality and lawlessness about them, even with the Kyrat royal army seem to be nothing more than undisciplined thugs that just happen to have standardized uniforms and weaponry. For these enemies, these characteristics make them feel like a natural element of the dangerous unfamiliar wilderness you have been dropped into. With Far Cry 6, the FND is a professional and properly regimented military, which makes them lack the lawlessness of the previous enemies, which removes that sense of them being an almost feral threat.

[@BoyDugo02]

One thing that made this game not feel like a far cry game for me was the switch to regular cutscenes from first person cutscenes. The idea of first person cutscenes is to make you feel that each character is talking directly to you and not to the character you are playing as. It takes away a lot of what makes the villain intimidating like for example, the eye contact. What made Pagan, Vaas and Joseph intimidating is the eye contact. They are talking to us through the eyes of the protagonist. FC6 took away all that in favor of generic cutscenes.

[@samueldoeswhatever7307]

I think the only character I actually enjoyed in the game was Diego. and that's because you didn't really know what he was going to do. he had sympathy for both sides, cared about his father, but also resented being stuck in his shadow. I thought the ending was going to be either Dani dies, or surrenders after killing Anton, and it would leave Diego the undetermined choice to either stop the tyranny or follow in his father's foot steps. then do the thing in far cry 5 where they gas light you and say "yay you won, now explore the world" after you beat the game. but no, they kill him off at the end, and completely waste him. and since his character doesn't do anything important besides have that conflict, you probably could have just written him out entirely and changed nothing. which makes his sole purpose to be a giant disappointment.

[@TheTrueSeal]

You explained everything about Diego so perfectly that it makes me sad why the writers didn't think of a better way to handle this character.

[@lucsbond07]

The alternate ending is not only canon because it makes common sense, but because the game is not as personal as other Far Cry games. Your two friends, the only people you can trust on the entire island, are dead. One of them for attracting the attention of the ARMY and the other for being involved in a shooting. The game gives you no reason to continue staying on the island once you get a boat, and the guerrillas know how to handle it. While in other Far Cry games, like in 3, you had to save your friends and later your younger brother, or like in 4, where you had to find out how your father died, in 6 there is no point in continuing to get involved in this whole war.

When totality of the game falls too short in terms of entertainment value, then gamers become very critical of everything in the game. If the overall experience is good, then the flaws in the game seem trivial\unimportant. It really more how all the game elements work together than the individual elements. It is like watching a movie with bad acting and plot holes, if the movie is entertaining, nobody cares about what is bad about it, because overall the movie was worth watching.

[@TheTrueSeal]

That's certainly an interesting take that I can agree with.

[@DemonKingCozar]

I think what makes Far Cry 2, 3 and 4 so special is how it portrays these lawless environments and how humanity can become corrupt within them. Between the Jackal, Vaas, Buck, Hoyt, Citra, Jason, Sabal, Pagan Min, and Amita. Nearly everyone in these games is a bit crazy. This definitely applies to 3, where everyone, in some way, has been corrupted and has found a vice to fulfill the hole left by their lost humanity. That's what makes Citra the most dangerous antagonist in the series. She's like Joseph Seed, using her cult of personality to corrupt and breed Jason into the warrior she wants him to become. Embracing the jungle, and the violence. These games show how easy it is to go too far in war, more specifically guerilla. Like how Sabal decides to follow his cultural heritage even if it's bloody or how Amita is willing to go into the drug trade and child labor. This central theme ties the violence to the humanity and the culture of our characters and even our protagonists for 3 and 4. Which was sorely missed in 5 with the Deputy being generic. The same also applies to 2 but that plays into a more specific theme. These games handle very dark themes and settings but protray them in a digestible light for the casual audience. That's whats missing from Far Cry 6 not Far Cry but more like Just Cause.

[@TheTrueSeal]

A bullet in the head should kill my target... not the small or heavy armor on certain weapontypes, at moonlight, when wear XY Armor from the shop....

[@TheTrueSeal]

Hey thanks for watching the video! I totally agree with you and just like yourself, I played and enjoyed every single entry in the series (I thought Primal was one of the best games in the series, although it sits in a different league compared to the mainline games). The (not so) recent trend of making everything RPG hurt this game in an unimaginable way. I like the idea of having multiple ammo types, but they should have implemented the mechanic better... I'd actually use them against trucks, tanks, and choppers and not soldiers if it was a more thoughtful mechanic! This game has so much lost potential that it's just baffling to think about it...

[@GarrettWebster-mx5wx]

I think far cry 6 is a perfect example of 1 step forward, two steps back . I loved the setting , characters, the guns , having a voiced main character, the mini games (we needed more cock fighting ) , graphics , “base building “ , the feel of riding horses , and of course the greatest amigo in gaming “Chicharron “ . However the back packs and tying SO MUCH to them was a mistake. Besides the fact that they look ridiculous, they make you constantly pause the game or visit work benches to switch things up where as before you could count on having certain perks no matter what (chain take downs , holding more ammo , etc ) . I felt that using different ammo types was stupid . It really killed the rhythm if a shoot out to have to constantly switch in the middle of a shoot out to soft target or armor piercing ammo . The switching “equipment “ (shirts, pants , gloves etc ) was a good idea but shouldn’t have been tied so much to perks . You should be able to assign a special perk to the whole set (say slower enemy detection) but having 14 pairs of gloves that “improve how long you can hold your breath “ is annoying . I’m not going to mention all the “live service “ stuff because that’s obviously a big negative. What far cry needs to do is start implementing elements of far cry two and 4 into the worlds of 5 and 6 . They also need to cool it a lil with the animal friends . Having a dog or panther makes some kind of sense , but the primary “allies “ should be human characters you get to know and learn about . I also hope they get away from making every game a showcase for the villian and start putting more effort into the hero of the story .

[@TheTrueSeal]

I absolutely love your take, especially the part where you mentioned that Ubi should combine mechanics from Far Cry 2 and 4 with 5 and 6's world. That sounds like the ultimate Far Cry game to me!

[@GarrettWebster-mx5wx]

@@TheTrueSeal I think that aspects like your guns getting jammed or degrading in 2 or the more interactive aspects of 4 gave the game a more grounded and realistic feel . I don’t think guns should have a set life span like the gun will degrade no matter what but it should be where if the gun gets dirty or you are constantly firing it , the gun should degrade and possibly break forever . But on the flip side you should be able to do a “quick clean “ out in the field that is a temporary fix and a more in depth cleaning/replacement at camp that basically makes it like new . Same thing with certain vehicles. I personally would KILL to see a far cry set in Nazi occupied France or Europe . You could be a resistance fighter who has to constantly wage brutal gorilla warfare using hit and run tactics . Setting it during the 40’s would allow you to keep some technology like planes , radio , machine guns tanks etc and old world stuff like horses , bow and arrow , throwing knives and explosives, but would remove the more cartoony “hovercrafts with bazookas” or “go cart that also flies” . Think of inglorious bastards/ministry of ungentlemanly warfare meets battlefield bad company . Plus you could do some amazing nazi villains .

[@timhefty504]

I decided to come back to this because i have another gripe with this game. Yes, the alternate ending is the better ending, but I'm gonna get more political about it. The mental gymnastics to justify why America is no better than Yara pissed me off as an American. There's people that are willing to risk their lives to get here, and those lucky ones that do make it are the most hardworking goodhearted patriotic people you will find. Saying that America is no better than some fictional fascist shithole country is a slap in the face to all our immigrants, especially all those who fled the Castro regime in Cuba (especially the ones who have died along the journey), Venezuelans and all the other Latinos, the Haitians, Africans, Iranians, Ukrainians, the Afghan interpreters that are still trying to get here but are trapped by the Taliban. Stocking grocery store shelves in a free country is so much better than living in a shithole dictatorship. A better way to make the decision to stay harder would've been an appeal to Dani's ego. Clara could've told Dani "sure, you could puss out and run to America, but you'll be a nobody there. If you stay and fight, you'll become part of Yaran history and be remembered forever." Putting it that way, its harder to say no to. Or they could've kept the lore of the previous two games going and America isn't an option to flee to given the whole nuke thing.

[@TheTrueSeal]

Interesting world view. Although, to be fair Clara did say something like "Nobody wants our Yaran blood in their country. Stay and fight for your home Dani". If I remember it correctly. But yeah, in Far Cry 6 everything is either extremely poorly written or super light-hearted as if it's a small matter...

Honestly i bought this game approx. a year ago cuz it was on sale for like $8 and i didnt watch any reviews or anything, played it for like 3 missions and honestly got so bored and uninstalled the game I know some people will think its an unfair judgement but being used to far cry 3 and 4 which imo was the prime era and what far cry is really about, this felt like a very generic shooter game with an annoyingly large map (especially at the beginning of the game) And for some reason stealth was pretty difficult, maybe this is a skill issue on my part, however the entire bullet sponge concept was so noticeable and put me off the game so much I know its impossible, but i wish they bring back that far cry 3-4 style, but obviously corporate greed and modern business practice in game dev industry wont allow for this, its sad because you can say this about any AAA+ studio game in the world, or any game owned by a big investment group even if it were a small studio originally

What really annoyed me was how a lot of things have been removed. A lot of the gameplay, feels extremely shifted, things like the old perks system the ability to use enemy weapons etc etc. the mechanics in my opinion werent so bad.A lot of changes were understandable. However a lot of things really didnt make far cry 6 feel like any other far cry game. Story wise, killing all of the bosses felt easy and really boring. Far cry 6 also was downside in the Combat sense too. The combat in game wasnt really as intense as other far cry games, taking over outposts seemed really easy. The new ammo system of the game while as an idea isnt so bad but when it came to the combat gameplay, everything felt unbalanced. Everything like the armor system, supremo etc wasnt so bad. However major improvement is needed. Also the issue with the supremos was that it made all of the points i mentioned to do with the gameplay and combat really easy. The other issue was the lack of actual guns for hire. The game also lacks the survival aspect, etc etc. i think in the next far cry game they should keep some of the new features, like the armor system, the character customisation, ammo system, weapon unlock system. For new and old things to return. Stuff like The ability for the character to be tracked once you the player has caused enough havoc. Bring captured and escaping the enemy. The skill tree should return. Better AI should be added. Weapons and Equipment should be adequately ranked. If supremos make a return. Certain types of supremos really shouldnt make a returned.

​@carloszestyboy2901 I'm with you there. I love Far Cry 2 a lot and I always play through it at least once a year. I'd be head over heels for an official remaster with some minor tweeks but I'm perfectly content knowing that it'll probably never happen.

[@tomassoejakto]

I'm a simple guy. I've never played a Far Cry game before, but determined to do so with FC6 because female Dani is too easy on the eyes. Plus Nisa Gunduz's voice is so smooth. The game is absurdly fun, but I lasted for only around 75 hours before I feel like I'm playing the game on repeat. I don't mind all the gameplay mechanics like checkpoints and military bases, and all the weapons and vehicles are cool, IMO. I also love just driving around while listening to the singalongs. It's a fun and mindless romp. I dropped the game because enemies are too few and combat is too easy even on guerrilla difficulty. And the open world doesn't feel alive; I was especially disappointed to see an empty capital city. The story is a bummer too; there are so many missed opportunities in the relationship between Dani and Diego, making the ending that much more pointless. Dani is already a badass, she really doesn't need to be there because it serves nothing for her motives; she didn't even get anything meaningful in the end, even refused power for vague reasons. Dani's allies have come to trust her and rely on her, but I can't feel that connection because throughout the game she had been treated like nothing but a mercenary they call on to fix their problems; so it didn't make sense when at the end they ask her to lead them as a political figurehead. So many things didn't connect. So many things. I might play the game again sometimes though, even if it is just for the singalongs.

[@TheTrueSeal]

I really love your take and these are some really fine points you mentioned! Especially about how there's a dissonance between Dani's story and the gameplay/overall story. If you have the time, I highly recommend playing Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 5. Far Cry 4 is awesome too, but for the most part it takes everything from Far Cry 4 and perfects them, so the choice is up to you. You would probably find a lot of fun in those games as well.

[@countryclubpoper]

By biggest gripe with the game was how lackluster and bland it was. When I heard it was set in fictional Cuba I was really excited. There’s not many rpg’s there that are set in the Caribbeans, let alone Cuba so I was super intrigued and interested in where the story could go and the content that would be added. Not to my surprise. I was let down. I won’t get into the story because there’s already dozens of videos rightfully criticizing the game but I would like to point out the mishandling of potential and straight up shitty add ons and “expansions” for the game. I would have loved to see dlc that focused around the traditions and hobbies of the Cuban people. Farming (feeding cattle, planting crops, cleaning a barn), more additions to fishing, total customization on the cars (build one from the ground up) boxing, having boxing rings set up around the map and facing other fighters on your way to becoming a champion (similar to Cyberpunks fighting quests), the potential was right there… They completely missed on the expansions too. Instead of the two we got we should’ve gotten a Soviet style add on where Anton is allowing them to set up nuclear sights all around the map and you have to sabotage and uncover a sinister motive for his plans. Another could’ve been a “what if” scenario where Dani joins the FND and you have to take part in raids and shootouts with the rebels and destroy there operations and networks from the ground up.

[@TheTrueSeal]

You have perfectly summed up the reasons that could end up making the game world much more alive and dynamic than the current shallow and soulless thing it is. The second major expansion was also a horrible mess that I try to completely forget about... I like the stuff you mentioned, especially the one with the what if scenario...

[@HistoryMonarch1999]

There was a lot of good ideas. The whole checkpoints on the road thing was a real thing rebel armies did for money and controlling the roads. They could’ve put what counter insurgency did and have the army attack these checkpoints sometimes. And showing different kinds of factions in a rebellion is also good but I feel like they did a bad job representing them. A little, just a bit, over the top. Like when they will show soldiers being like “we have no choice but to fight because of our families” while later you celebrating hanging soldiers. Also, personally smth I agree with, is that there should’ve been more urban warfare. A different kind of “jungle” to navigate.

One thing I also noticed was the repetitive mission structure; it felt like there was little variety in objectives, which made the game feel like a grind at times.

What killed the game for me was mouse control of helicopters, no sidearm grenade launcher, overall lack of cool weapons like SA-50 or Mg42 (and those silencers made of plastic bottles?), boring driving model and uninteresting map. However I'm still waiting for FC7, hopefully they will make it better

[@TheTrueSeal]

Well said and I agree!

[@OperatorMax1993]

Great video! I do agree that Far Cry 6 is really different compared to Far Cry 3 or even 2 Plus, we already have Jagged Alliance 2 and 3 to scratch the itch for mercenaries (a theme abandoned after FC3) and liberating countries

[@TheTrueSeal]

Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I personally have never played JA series, so I might check it out one day. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@BLK_Euphoria]

far cry fans: jesus christ this game is the same as every other far cry far cry fans: jesus christ this game is nothing like far cry

[@TheTrueSeal]

lol, that can be said about almost every long-running series. What is important is that the developers should keep the core identity of that series intact, while properly evolving the gameplay mechanics into something better...

[@littlebitclumsy]

The statues and speakers are a just cause thing, are they not?

[@TheTrueSeal]

Not necessarily. The guerilla with too much chaotic weapons that are designed for mindless fun, the indifference to fine tuning traversal mechanics that doesn't end up making one of them superior, the bland and cartoony characters are some of the examples that turn this game into a just cause thing tho. at the end, speakers and statues are both symbols, nothing more.

[@littlebitclumsy]

@@TheTrueSeal Yes thats so true. I think its ironic tho how they transformed the game to a just cause title with far cry graphics, make him an dictator u never see but blow up in his statue or speaker form, wich is SUCH AN JUST CAUSE THING like wtf. Did they forget what far cry is?

[@TheTrueSeal]

@@littlebitclumsy Exactly! I agree with you. Far Cry was always about the horrors the main villain would cause for people and in this game, the focus is completely somewhere else! I would forgive many of the game's useless mechanics if the story and world building was done better but sadly, everything crumbles on itself in the first few hours and then continues to stay that way...

[@littlebitclumsy]

Thats so frcking sad. Like even Fc5 had some backlash and they decide to do just… …less? At least its something that happens thoughout gaming everywhere so we have to hope that publishers will finally have to change course. Until then keep up the great work man! An excellent watch

[@TheTrueSeal]

@@littlebitclumsy My biggest fear for Far Cry 7 is the live service aspect of the game. Are they going to release a half-finished product and keep adding the core content with small updates or are they going to charge us to the moon for the full game experience? I guess only time will tell and we don't have to wait too long for its reveal since I strongly believe that FC7's reveal might happen in the upcoming Ubisoft Forward Event!

[@jacobmartinez2351]

I barely even used my supremo, mostly because I forgot it was there.

[@TheTrueSeal]

I really didn't like its forced implementation...

[@Dat1GuyUknw]

While I agree with all your poitns to an extent and that it doesnt live up to the previous games high marks.. to say it isn't fun I think is just silly. It's a video game, just because its not the best of the series does not mean it isnt good. I encourage others give it a try because there is still fun to be had here. I put this game off for so long because of people's reviews and I wish i hadn't. Its not as great as 5 and its not as great as 3, (I thought far cry 4 was boring, but i wont yuck peoples yum for it) but it is a very fun game in its own right.

[@TheTrueSeal]

Well, there's a specific reason for not recommending a game. While story concepts, storytelling, and characters are actually important, they wouldn't determine (at least for me) that whether a game is fun or not... after all it's the gameplay that makes the entire thing stay fun. Instead, if a game tries to tell you that: "Hey look, I know I have 50 different mechanics, it's best for you to avoid all of them and only use 2". That's when a game becomes hard to recommend. If FC6 didn't try to sabotage itself this hard, I'd have enjoyed it much more actually even with its map size and current state of story.

[@skyfire_swe8520]

I think Fc6 definitely felt like Far Cry. For me it felt like a modern take on FC4 in many ways. I think people thought fc6 would shake things up more than it did, but they kept the formula.

[@TheTrueSeal]

glad you enjoyed it!

I just platinumed far cry 6, it’s quite a nice game. Different than other far cry games. But I still quite recommend it.

[@TheTrueSeal]

@@esleyjanssen8561 Glad you enjoyed the game and congrats on that platinum! One thing that really bothered me and ruined the entire mood of the game was the bad story writing. If the story was better and characters weren't so comically portrayed, the game could've been more enjoyable for me, and I could easily ignore its shortcomings.

[@esleyjanssen8561]

@@TheTrueSeal yeah the story wasn’t really “great” especially the allies you make. I really like the part of seeing the good in Anton’s son. But the other characters are just not really interesting except el Tigre

[@TheTrueSeal]

@@esleyjanssen8561 Totally agree with you. El Tigre and maybe Espada was the only two good characters of this game. Also, not seeing the guerillas doing anything bad and they're always the saints was really hilarious. It's like Ubi forgot that they themselves made Far Cry 4 and the rebels in that game were not that different from Pagan min.

[@breezywinter4646]

Honestly one of the only few issues I have with 6 is the backpack and mainly the backpack… with rockets. It just gave me the vibe of “this game will suck” and I don’t know why, not even a “this is too different” thing, it just felt off to me. Also here at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="913">15:13</a> I don’t understand how they messed this up because they have stuff like The Division 2’s assaults where enemies could attack your control points and Outpost Master for Far Cry 5 where you can choose to reset the outposts. Don’t know why they made it a weekly thing for Far Cry 6.

[@TheTrueSeal]

The backpack thing really made it closer to Just Cause series for some reason. Also yeah, the replacement of outpost master with insurgency was a horrible choice...

[@klyzn]

Far cry 6 is one of my favorites... to much hate for no real reason. I got all the trophys🏆 and me and my girlfriend had fun in co-op. Great game 🎮 We started with Far cry 3 then 4 and 5 and we bought all the DLC. Literally. My personal favorites is 3, 5, New Dawn And 6. 6 is my most favorite.

[@TheTrueSeal]

I'm glad you had a fun time in the game and congrats on earning all the trophies as well. However, I'm not hating on the game, I'm simply expressing why it strayed from the series while it had all the potential to be one of the best games in the franchise.

[@landonstallings2891]

Although far cry 6 is my least favorite. I had good fun with it along with all the other ones. I treat far cry how people treat GTA. Turn my brain off, do stupid shit, and cause chaos. My favorite in order is 5, 4, blood dragon, 3, new dawn, 2, primal, and 6 3 used to be my favorite until I went back and played 3 a couple years ago. It is way too simple by today's standards l.

[@feetcheese]

me and my girl played through 4 and 5, loved it, bought and played 6 on release and never finished it. Didn’t keep us engaged and really didn’t feel like Far Cry.

[@samueldoeswhatever7307]

I didn't really like this game much. but I think one of the few things worth playing for it is the villain DLCs. they do a good job at portraying the characters, and enlighten us to their motives, and backstories. so you have more sympathy in the main games for them, and even further push the question of "am I really the hero here?" for both villain an hero characters. I especially like Joseph's collapse, since he has the realization that: yes, he was wrong in the end to try and save everyone since it would have led to both his and their downfall. and in new dawn you get to see the outcome of that development. where he's changed from the prophet leader to just a sad, wore out old man.

[@TheTrueSeal]

I wish Anton would've also been treated the same way in his own game! But yeah, that DLC piece is probably the only redeeming part of this game.

[@MrBeetsGaming]

I haven't finished 5 or 6 and what I've played of 5 seems alright so far but it doesn't "feel like far cry" to me either. I don't know what it is it just doesn't feel like 3 or 4 at all, partially the lack of a mini-map I think.

[@TheTrueSeal]

You know, one of the factors that some people seem to be annoyed by, but I truly miss is the lack of a tower climbing system. With them gone, the recent games are trying to do open handed exploration... but such a thing requires tons of points of interest relatively close together, which is not something that suits a Far Cry game world IMO.

[@danniboi7490]

The worst part is that you can see hints scattered about of what it could have been

[@TheTrueSeal]

This is the part where it hurts the most. This game is a massive waste of potential sadly...

[@tyleroutland435]

I thought far cry 6 was amazing it got unnecessary hate and it was the only far cry game I played

[@TheTrueSeal]

I'm glad you enjoyed the game. Part of the criticism came from fans' experience with the older series. If you have the time, I highly recommend playing Far Cry 3-4-5. If you want the most polish and complete form of the older games format, Far Cry 4 is the go to option. However, if you want some insane moments with solid gameplay (and of course, some questionable design choices) play Far Cry 5. Also, there's Far Cry Primal. It's set in pre-historic era and is extremely cool and innovative in its own way. Maybe after trying those games, your opinion changes on Far Cry 6 or maybe it doesn't. But either way I think you shouldn't miss playing those fantastic games.

[@smallboi638]

Honestly one of my problems with this is game is the main character, because they are a native to the oppressed country, while the protagonists in the other games were from outside of these countries, which kinda makes the title of the game kinda meaningless because the protagonist of this game is used to the cruelty of the country.

[@TheTrueSeal]

This is an extremely important point. The fact that there's no far cry elements in the far cry 6 comes down to the protagonist and the setting which is a well known country instead of a wild or uncharted land...

[@laveenr]

3,4 and 5 main villain was a cult leader and a psychopath but 6 was just a politician which was a big let down.

Idk man, 5 was pretty trash. 6 wasn't necessarily a good game but its definitely not worse than 5. The bosses in that game were super forgettable aside from the sister with the drug farms. Everything else was super bland, the ai was bad, the world was uninteresting... I at least enjoyed 6. It still doesn't hold a candle to 3 and 4 but to act like it was a major step down from 5 is pretty whack.

[@TheTrueSeal]

I'm glad that you enjoyed 6 more, but aside from not having a voiced villain, crappy ai, and some missing elements, Far Cry 5 is miles better. The setting (Montana vs Yara) is much more of a preference but at least the map size in 5 is more condensed and smaller than 6's map.

[@gkinthe595]

Could not agree more.

[@ryuno2097]

I had so much playing Far Cry 1 back in the day,, It felt so different than the usual WW2 game developers were making back then. Far Cry 3 was pretty fun too but I never finished the game, from what I read it's sad that Vaas isn't the main villain of that game.

[@TheTrueSeal]

Sure, Vaas isn't the main antagonist of Far Cry 3, but the game still treated him in a way that it'd put him under the spotlight of being the main enemy.

[@brunoderkameramaa8005]

6 was much better than 5 and on par with 3 People just hate games for not beeing the alreday 10 year old version they played I mean 3 is my fav but 6 was pretty good

I'm not a fan of nostalgia by any means and the video is not aimed to idolize the older games. In fact, each of them has their unique sets of issues. But the pros always outweighed the cons. Can't say the same about Far Cry 6 tho.
