“The Best Far Cry Game Ever Made.”... That’s what I’ve been hoping I can say about this game for a year now. This is one of my favorite franchises that has so much potential but so often falls flat. Ever since Far Cry 3 I’ve loved these games but nothing has even come close to 3’s fantastically well written and performed villain, Vaas, or its cohesion within the game world. But with this game coming I knew there was a chance we could have an upset... After all, Far Cry 6 is the hotly anticipated next entry in the long and storied franchise that has struggled with its identity for the last few entries. Once a grounded and gritty first person shooter, the series has fallen victim to the populist in tropes that have ruined so many intellectual properties before it. In recent years Far Cry has given up many of the realistic mechanics in pursuit of larger maps, more approachable gunplay, and repetitious gameplay structure. But Far Cry 6 is Ubisoft’s attempt at a return to form for the beloved franchise. They’ve focused on the writing, they’ve brought in A list talent in the form of Giancarlo Esposito, and an active effort has been made to give all the weapons a unique feel and style. But is it enough to make this game the best in the franchise or does it fall flat once again? Let’s get into it.

    I find it strange when people say “I hate when games make me do side quests or objectives to progress” when sometimes it makes sense with the actual story. In this game for example, wouldn’t it be weird completing the whole game, taking down the tyrant and everyone lives happily ever after, but then the slave camps are still operating as if nothing happened?

    I think people have gotten used to playing open world games that let you blitz through the story and then some form of “there’s still a lot of work to do to overthrow ____” happens and you basically have to actually fix the problem of the game. Like I loved Ghost of Tsushima but it felt weird that I “drove the Mongols out” just for the Mongols to still basically everywhere. I like actually accomplishing the goal of the character like you said

    No one has a problem with side quests. It's a problem when they're repetitive as hell. I don't understand how people praise mediocrity so much these days. Ubisoft milks a formula until even the thoughtless drones get bored. There's good moments but overall it feels very rehashed. There are plenty of open world titles where side quests are part of the story but aren't entirely predictable.

    WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little boy called Joey, he was ten-years-old and he lived in a mental hospital because he posted a shitty copypasta onto a People Playground mod's comment section. He got so bad he went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the Feds decided that best idea was to get rid of him so they set up a special room to kill him, as inhumane as possible. And he sat there in agony for hours until he died. Now every week on the day of his death he returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00 a.m. He creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by pegging you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other profiles on this one site, and he will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes nothing will happen

So Far Cry 6 with a voiced character and 3rd person cutscenes, 60 FPS on Ps5, and going back to a tropical fun island setting with an amazing villain played by Gian Carlo is actually gonna make Far Cry 6 the best since 3 🤩!!!! Edit. I take back everything FC6 is garbage 🗑.

    You mentioned immersion breaking as someone got shot with a nail. Fun Fact, when getting stabbed or shot, or really in any situation that causes severe pain, people don't yell out - they lose their breath. If you kill someone within a few seconds (very difficult to do in real life) they can't make a sound, because they're busy inhaling, having had the breath knocked out them. Trust me on this, that's very lifelike.

I think Far Cry is its best when it's built on top of a single theme and all of the game feeds into that theme. I kinda would like to see more bleak and oppressing Far Cry in the lines of Far Cry 2. These new games are just... "campy fun", I guess... Now that's not bad on its own right, but when 80% of AAA games are "campy fun" in their atmosphere and story, it's really not standing out.

Imagine if they applied even half of the budget and manpower from the visuals to improving the actual quality and depth of the game. It could have potentially far surpassed every other game in the franchise and been one of the defining games of the PS5 generation instead of being forgotten a year from now.

I feel like they took the best aspects of each game and put them into one. The DualSense Controller probably plays a big part in my experience since it really helps you immerse in the game.

I use a full set of traversal armor and the supremo that gives me an air dash to maximise my mobility with the shotgun. I then also carry an explosive lmg for vehicles and otherwise sticky situations.

    Far cry 2 was/is my ultimate favorite installment, even still to this day. Its dirty, rusty, realistic, primal, and unforgiving. The world feels like it was smothered with hopelessness, the breaking guns, malaria, constant checkpoints that always repopulate, and the way the healing animation works are all contributors among many more. This is what made you PUSH through the world, to feel that these people REALLY need help and you will die for them. Farcry 2 was DARK, 6 is not, I loved the beginning of 6, it was giving me hope for a more grounded experience and then we reach the base camp and proceed to "rescue" an old gorilla legend who acts like a comedian (kind of like the whole experience especially all your "allies" you work with later), he then gives us a magical backpack . . . . Yeah. . . . .Ok enough ranting, great video though. Cheers.

    WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little boy called Joey, he was ten-years-old and he lived in a mental hospital because he posted a shitty copypasta onto a People Playground mod's comment section. He got so bad he went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the Feds decided that best idea was to get rid of him so they set up a special room to kill him, as inhumane as possible. And he sat there in agony for hours until he died. Now every week on the day of his death he returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00 a.m. He creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by pegging you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other profiles on this one site, and he will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes nothing will happen

    the reason Far Cry became successful was because of the grounded realism Far Cry 2 established & got the franchise mainstream from FC3 onwards. Far Cry 2 was made from the overwhelming opinion that the first half of FC1 where you were using bare minimum resources on an island trying to survive was MUCH more unique & memorable than the later half's mutation portion. Ubisoft listened and made the best game in the franchise imo after that. FC2 dropped with overwhelming positivity but had complaints about a few things that majority of casual fans did not like (malaria, weapon jamming, limited fast travel, respawning outposts, etc.) Ubisoft has constantly adapted the franchise to cater towards the mainstream public & broader audience. And although I will play FC2 another 100x before I restart FC3-5, I'll admit that the franchise has ultimately been through multiple interpretations. Although the latest from Ubisoft has not been about realism, I'd argue that the foundation of Far Cry was built on immersion & realism.

At first I thought it was a glitch because the target was partially in cover, but it's happened to targets out in the open as well. I thought maybe the suppressor was limiting the bullet velocity, but either way, it sucks because you're alerting the enemies while not getting a definite hit. Liking the game overall though.

It just feels off when everyone talks. Like the game is set in a Texas or Florida metro area, not Cuba. I miss when AAA were allowed to take risks.

Or it can turn out disastrous like in the case of notoriously bad games like (launch day) No Man’s Sky or Jurassic Park: Trespasser. Ambition needs time, manpower, and a budget to back it up otherwise it’s just a bad game with interesting ideas. And then there’s cases where they have all of those things as well as ambition and you still get Cyberpunk 2077. As much as I love capitalism I feel like it heavily discourages developers and publishers being willing to take massive risks that could ultimately push the medium forward.

I didn't mind FC3 and loved Blood Dragon but ever since then the series has just stagnated and gotten worse with every release imo. Felt like FC6 was very uninspired, shallow and essentially just a carbon copy of 3 with horses minus the fun. The characters were all bland and uninteresting, story goes nowhere and even Giancarlo Esposito sadly couldn't even save this one for me. Glad you enjoyed it and managed to get something out of it, just not my cup of tea I guess.
