Seems to be an average FPS. Just another Far Cry, with little to nothing new.
Might be worth it at a steep discount, a few months from now.

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

Can we mod this one to play Goldeneye on PS5 too?

 

[sircaw]

i did not even play the last two games, wonder if this one is/will be better, will be interesting to hear from the fans of the series what they think in regards to that.

 

[Darlingcognito]

Meh wait half a year and get it 50% off.

 

[MoneySings]

Weak again....

Re-ordered it using CDKeys and got it for £76.99 for Ultimate, which saved me £13 over MS's price.

2 months and this shit will be half like most third party games.

Far Cry 6

Far Cry 6 reveals a Caribbean island simmering with revolutionary tension. The title features actor Giancarlo Esposito (“Better Call Saul,” “The Boys,” “The Mandalorian”) as President Anton Castillo, the violent leader who grips the island of Yara with an iron fist, promising a return to its...

77 on Metacritic right now. Kinda too high if you ask me with no Map Editor included.

 

[Topher]

Good scores overall. Time to renew Ubisoft+ for a month....

 

[Bragr]

Not. . .really? FC5 has a 82/20 on OpenCritic and FC6 is sitting at 78/81. Those are right on top of each other in terms of quality. However, as I mentioned, just going off a number is a poor way of gauging a games quality.

We are talking about the reception to it though, not whatever the number means. Most companies are desperate to get their games over an 80 on meta. I might be able to climb there as many reviews are still not done, but I would imagine that there is a lot of disappointed folks right now within Ubi.

Same here.

Can you pre-load with + or do you have to wait until it´s released to download it?

 

[Insane Metal]

 

[J3nga]

Pretty much what I expected, I think it's a fair deal for 15 euros so subscribed to Ubi+, have absolutely no interest in owning this at full price let alone on Epic store.

 

[Topher]

Same here.

Preload available. I'm downloading it right now.

 

[SJRB]

Sorry to report but it runs like shit on the playstation 5. No idea about xbox but this needs a patch or two - would hold off paying full price on day 1.

Oofffffff that blows.

 

[mejin]

seems another Ubi Game/10

 

[Coolwhhip]

When you have 6 in the title...

 

[thatJohann]

I like far cry to an extent but it really requires 60fps to play well.

Wait, this doesn’t run at 60fps on XSX / PS5 ?

 

[DonJorginho]

Wait, this doesn’t run at 60fps on XSX / PS5 ?

It does, also runs 1080p/60fps on XSS.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Not impressed from what I’ve seen, bland, more or less the same template with a different look. Admittedly I’ve grown cynical of the “TRIPLLE A “ category if there is one and to be fair Ubisoft are not the only ones doing this.

 

[Low Moral Fibre]

Looks fun from the reviews I've watched. I always buy Ubisoft games day 1 only for them to be £15 by the time I get round to playing them properly so I'll try and wait for a bit but will probably be playing it by the weekend if I'm being honest with myself.

 

[TheGodfather07]

Exactly what I thought it would be. Same game as before with a new coat of paint.

 

[kikkis]

Wait, this doesn’t run at 60fps on XSX / PS5 ?

Yeah, but i am still on ps4 poor.

 

[Elder Legend]

It does run 60fps on XSX/PS5.

 

[winjer]

 

[Vagswarm]

I'll definitely be waiting a while to hear what the word of mouth is from the players. The weapons look like they could be fun.

 

[Sander Cohen]

Wow, 76 currently on MC, is this worst reviewed FC ever, as of right now?

 

[iorek21]

Ubisoft for sure is consistent on their Metacritic scores. I’m getting this since I know what I’ll get.

I’m more worried about Back 4 Blood’s score since I have no clue about what we’ll be getting (Evolve still hurts).

 

[ANDS]

Same here.

You can preload and play if you have a VPN. Currently in the game from the Americas. Also, this is running pretty well on what I would consider mediocre hardware (AMD 5700/i5-8400/16GB Ram).

How does VPN into America or from America to somewhere else? I'm in US and the game isn't available to play.

 

[Pippelipeikko]

Apparently I got it free with my AMD 5900x, the code has been redeemed but there's nothing in ubisoft connect program, no preload or anything.

 

[Warnen]

Gonna pass barely got thru 5, so tired of the Ubisoft open world game.

 

[thatJohann]

I keep reading how bad the performance and screen tearing are on PS5 - any impressions of performance and screen tearing on Xbox Series X?

 

[Miles708]

It's one of those games you already have played even without having actually played it.
Been there, done that. A thousand times already.

does it have a fov slider on ps5?

 

[MidGenRefresh]

More Far Cry 5 but in a more interesting setting. Exactly what I wanted. Preload is almost done. Can't wait to play it!

 

[saintjules]

I'm definitely interested in the game, but it's one I have to see reviews for first. (Specifically ACG @Karak )

Wait for a sale. Which I agree with based on the gameplay.

Never played Farcry and this might be the first one for me. Ubisoft sales do happen often, so yeah..

 

[ANDS]

VPN into a Japanese server and change your windows Timezone/Region to Hong Kong/Japan. I'm in the game now from Washington DC.

 

[ManaByte]

Can’t wait for the Kotaku “review”. The setting of FarCry 5 was basically porn to them. This one is going to trigger them into an incoherent blabbering mess and it’ll be glorious.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Well, I was pretty excited after enjoying FC5...But I fold.....

Please bring on the good games!

Ubisoft will stop when Far Cry 87 will have a metacritic of 01, or will they?

 

[Strider Highwind]

Gone play it on ubisoft+ and finally cancel that subscription after I beat it on PC, can't wait lol. Game looks fun and what I'd expect from Far Cry so I think it'll be cool

 

[captainraincoat]

I love the little ping when the game is ready

 

[Putonahappyface]

No.

The next FarCry is a F2P GaaS.

Far Cry 76, seems like they should stop there.

 

[kyussman]

This is the last one before they shake things up isn't it......which I asume means make it full on GAAS crap.

 

[KormaChameleon]

You clearly haven't played the first two games. This statement is only true from the third one onwards.

Bold of you to assume that I haven't. I own the first game and 2nd game in my Steam library.
