Games

Something a lot of people miss (and actually Far Cry 6 forgot/discarded) is most Far Cry games end with a very deconstructive and sad message towards the violence you’ve achieved through the game.

They tend to miss since people that care about writing skip these games. I’m curious what they could do with it though.

Thank god.

I was so disappointed at the mechanics they brought in with FarCry 3. The ability to tag an enemy and have them be visible through walls until they’re dead is ridiculous. I was horrified when I saw it repeated in 4, and then realized it was a permanent part of the franchise.

FarCry 2 is one of my favorite games.

Bring back Far Cry 2 you cowards!

You set out to accomplish something and everything goes wrong.

Also Far Cry 5 is the worst entry, overrated, and Far Cry 6 is overhated.

The problem is that there's a formula.

Games are supposed to progress over time, not just feel like annual copy pastes covered with RNG map spam.

Seems like an unpopular opinion but I actually like the Far Cry formula. It's the same gameplay loop with different maps and weapons and that's all I really ask for because I know what I'm getting is something that I know I enjoyed and will enjoy. I don't play Far Cry to experience some innovative gameplay, there's other games I look to for that.

I already wasn't a fan of the changes to Far Cry 6 and these changes don't seem like a Far Cry game anymore so I'm a bit disappointed if these are true.

I liked 3 and 4 fine, but I loved 5. It had mediocre gameplay, but the story and missions were fun, with a lot of Easter eggs. Especially in multi player coop it was pretty fun.

I absolutely despised 6. It was bland and very broken on release. It also felt like 3 games shoved together that didn't really fit or interact. I later found it this was because that was exactly what they did. Due to covid the people working on it didn't really work together and the end result was a total mismatch. The story was very predictable and not worth it, even though they marketed the hell out of it. The side stories were mostly absent and not interesting at all. The game lacked any humor and wasn't self aware like 5 was. The amounts of crashes and bugs made the game borderline unplayable when it came out. And these weren't the funny amount of jank I enjoy kind of crashes, these were proper game breaking bugs. There was no enemy variation at all and a lot of copy paste assets. To the point that every checkpoint that needed to be liberated had the exact same layout and enemies, down to the spawn location. The weapons and enemy strength made no sense at all. You'd use a big ass gun upgraded with special armor piercing bullets, shoot a regular dude right in the head and he would just shrug it off and keep going. The AI was also a joke, with enemies not reacting at all to what you did, just milling about and shooting at random. The game would send out special forces, which would promptly give up once you rode down the street. Some random pleb enemy on a corner could however snipe you at 300m somehow. The whole game made absolutely no sense.

The only interesting part was the firework backpack, but even this one fell pretty flat. There was one that was pretty OP, so that's the one most people used. Which is a shame, because fucking around with different packs could have been interesting. These were also broken on release, where most of the times the rockets would clip into the character model and just explode. So instead of doing damage and helping in a fight, you'd just blow yourself up.

I played a good amount of Far Cry 5, 100% completing it a couple of times. I did the story for Far Cry 6 and some of the side stuff in about 12 hours, then uninstalled the game and never played it again. I was so disappointed, Far Cry is dead to me.

Series stopped being fun for me after 3

I kinda liked 5, minis the bomb ending.
Far cry 6 had me so bored I stopped like 3 hours in.

So please, shake it the fuck up, anything, literally anything.

Far Cry 7 being limited to 72 hours like Majora's Mask might actually be a bit interesting.
