Look on the bright side, at least you’re not addicted to Far Cry 2

FC2 was a griiiiind to finish, I do NOT get the hype or praise that game got. Technical achievements with the AI behaviour and neat brush fires? Sure, but all I remember was being frustrated with outposts ALWAYS being reinforced somehow, the pointless character selection and boring AF story after 2 hours...

Ah the far cry titles.

#1 FC1, epic graphics for it's time, solid gameplay and oh did it terrify me after the first island.

#2 FC3, great immersive story. One of the few where your character speaks it's mind

#3 FC2, innovative for it's time. Shooting branches off trees, wildfire spread etc, healing gun wounds by pulling out your tooth etc.

#4 FC5, broken in every way but that made it hilarious to play. Ai's scoop up deers off mountains then crash in the slowest way possible. Friendly Npc's would start a civil war over nothing in the safe area's. Great game for lol's

#5 FC Primal, nothing new, nothing cool, just meh overal and clunky as fuck gameplay and generic hallucination thingies.

#6 FC 6. Worst of them all, unfun in every aspect, cringy healthbars, can't onetap every enemy anymore, forced third person nonsense in safe area's and stupid 'camp crafting'. No funny happenings whatsoever. Paid millions to some fancy actor only to barely show him in-game. Yea nah, Far cry died right here.

I've seen this cover tons of times, but this is the first time I noticed the guy buried in the sand. I had to check that this wasn't a modified picture.

With that bloody season pass system, we are bound to come to paying again and again even for old games. At least to get the most joy out of the game. Since some important parts of the gameplay can be hidden behind the paywall. I'm wary of that prospect.

I wished I could have finished this game but it kept crashing on my pc so I said fuck it

This was a really fun game - when all the supernatural drug visions were not happening. I fuckin hate it when they go down that route.

Apart from that it was such a blast.

The first FC was brilliant..and then came the mutant apes and the game got uninstalled immediately.

But the absolute worst of them all is the festering pile of goatshit that is Far Cry 6. Hard drives weep with despair when this rancid mound of dung is installed on them.

I kinda liked Primal's story, it hit the same vibes as Apocalypto movie, sort of, where you had very distinct tribes evolve in different geographic areas. The cannibals suffering from "brain fire" (a variant of kuru?) was interesting, as was the wetlanders' slaver system. I mean, yeah, it's Ubisoft-tier writing, meaning a mentally challenged 8th grader could have done a better job. But it wasn't horrible. It also had some survival mechanics going (like spears breaking or being lost, which forced material farming more than in other FC titles), it felt pretty unusual and not unenjoyable.

The original wasn't Ubisoft though, it was CryTek, so it had an entirely different formula and feel. It wasn't truly open world, it was story-driven, time of day was geographically locked for the sake of the storytelling and ambiance, etc. That's what made it special and unique to the series.

When Ubisoft took over for the second game, the selling point was "there arr no f***ing mutants in this game". And from there it was just usual Ubisoft cookie-cutter shameless cut-and-paste, where every zone had the same gun vendor NPC. You could leave his shop, jump into a car, drive like hell across the map, run into another shop and...there he is! They didn't even bother to put a unique NPC vendor in gun shops, that's how copy-pasty the game was.

Though I gotta give Ubi some points for going no-HUD. There was no HUD, no minimap, no nothing. The game was crazy immersive and could have been ported amazingly well into VR today. You actually had to hold a map and a compass and figure where you are, and you couldn't do this and shoot at the same time.

Far Cry 3 was decent, and actually had a fun skill tree system with tattoos. But I feel Far Cry 4 is where the series peaked. The variety of activities and NPC interactions in the world, the story, the "hidden ending", the missions themselves. The usual hallucination thing that Ubi loves so much was still there (reaching Shangri La), but you could also choose which faction to side with (out of the 3, technically, if you include Min). It was pretty damn unique for the series.

And I wouldn't say FC6 was the worst in the series, that one goes to New Dawn. The health bar nonsense in that one was x1000 compared to FC6, they tuned it down considerably in FC6. And they also borrowed a little too much from other games, as usual, such as anti-air missile batteries from Ghost Recon, which made the game less enjoyable and more grindy than it could have been. And the amigos instead of a pair of companions who could banter back and forth with each other, not just the player, like in FC5, was a major step back in FC6. But they added cutscenes with player character in third person as a tradeoff, if the writing wasn't so atrocious it might have been worth it.

I literally just bought this a couple of days ago 2nd hand for Xbox 360 for £2.50. First time playing a Far Cry game. Yet to try it, looking forward to it.

Step 1. Make FarCry on Cryengine and regain the Unity

Step 2. Make it an rpg set in Africa like Kingdom Come

Step 3. Revel in praises
