You have them in your Steam library but have you played them? And if yes, do you really think that if someone played FarCry 1 or FarCry 2 they "played them all"? You can't be serious.

Seems like the French company has sure lost its touch. I really hope one day Ubisoft gets the same wake-up call as EA did even though EA is still EA but they made some decent games since their wake-up call.

Shit I totally forgot about Ubisoft + maybe I'll play it on there instead of me buying the game

Ignore him. He has a habit of commenting on games and scoring them based on YouTube videos.

Hopefully, I get to still play it on Stadia so that I won't have to install it on my PC. I have it preordered at GameStop hopefully I get to cancel it or exchange it for something else.

The game formula is fun but at the same time repetitive , its not worth to buy at launch so better wait to get it for 30 bucks or less...
Have see some you tube streams this week and you see that just few people are interested to get it.
UBI needs a shake...only franchise at this moment relevant is AC.

What an odd statement. If you enjoyed the previous games you will enjoy this one. . .but the games aren't fun because they have the same scores?

Faces wise I agree, environments I think FC6 blows 5 out the water.

Looks a bit blurry on series x, any idea what the res is, and if its better on playstation?
Yes. This FC6 looks much better than FC5. Character models are about the same, but the world design just dumps all over Montana. . .

There's enough people out there who enjoy the gameloop to make Ubi a ton of money, so it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense for them to change the formula. New IP would be the way for that. With that said, the puzzling part for me is why do they keep NOT fixing the actual issues like f.ex. the AI and AI spawning (well, I guess it's because people buy it anyway, so they don't have to..).
That's the score I'd give your contribution.

This inventory item giving you different skills thing sounds annoying without being able to swap between sets quickly, I wonder if they can/will add that post launch, like GoT did and that makes it a way better game imo.
Is it really that annoying to fight enemies with suboptimal gear? As in they are damage sponges? That something that instantly turned me off of New Dawn.

You just described 90% of Ubisoft's AAA games.

I'd add they become dumber and dumber each new entry, we're approaching the point of parody.

- Enemies spawning endlessly out of nowhere during alerts
- waves of enemies are much larger than in previous games, takes forever thanks to point above
- stealth gameplay is extremely unreliable thanks to wonky AI and geometry
- Endless helicopters
- different ammo types that add nothing but frustration in combat encounters
- severely limited in weapon because you need to prepare for all kinds of situations restricting your freedom
- over reliant on menus for weapon switching
- companions are useless
- World is level-gated and there's enemy level scaling making leveling up feel pointless
- extremely limited in overall innovation; it feels like you've played the game already before you even actually start playing
- gear options are dogshit
- bugs and jank all over the place
- useless base building that seems like low-effort busiwork
When he said this game seemed more like a Just Cause iteration than a Far Cry game I was done. Thanks ShillUp, you saved me 70 bucks.

This main menu theme has major Witcher 3 vibes to it.
No. They actively encourage you to carry weapons with different ammo types and there are ammo benches everywhere AND they aren't immune to certain bullets it just takes a minute.

Below is Polygon's "review". As a Cuban I disagree with everything the reviewer say and I haven't even played the game. What they called tropes I call reality. For example my friends and I switch between Spanish and English on the fly mid sentence all the fucking time, so does most Cubans I know, so that's not a trope. They also wanted the game to be uber political. Polygon just being Polygon.

Review: Far Cry 6 is a bland entry in a series in need of revolution
Ubisoft delivers a stunning, sprawling paradise wasted on boring quests and unlikable characters…

I'm sure I'll have fun playing it. "It's just a FC game," I tell myself.

Prey went up against:
BotW
Persona 5
Mario Odyssey
Horizon Zero Dawn
Cuphead
Divinity OS 2
Nier Automata
Hollow Knight
and more....
Deathloop is going up against:
uh....

That's a REALLY difficult list. I don't think this year will be stacked like that.

AI is a major problem and affects the fun factor because once you know how to attack a post or base basically the rest are the same...
Its a shame that a once nice IP has not seen improvements over time.

I've never understood why people think that Giancarlo is such an intimidating villain.
He always just came across as silly to me, I actually did want to see more of him tho in Breaking Bad his story imo felt rushed.
But not because he was an intimidating villain.
But whenever he tries to act tough and intimidating it just doesn't to me I dunno why just being calm and having a frowny face equates to being scary.
He plays more emotional roles far better imo.

I really enjoy the loop of Far Cry games but I'll take the advice from
Karak
and wait for a sale. Thankfully Ubisoft games go on sale very quickly. I can almost guarantee it will be in whatever Fall sale the consoles and PC stores have. Probably even a deeper sale when December rolls around.

My copy from Amazon isn't supposed to arrive until Monday but I'm gonna pick this up in store tomorrow or digitally. I'm ready to blow some shit up the way only Far Cry knows how!

And Metroid Dread! Just saw the reviews, as someone who still holds Super Metroid as the best game of all time all other games I’ve played this year suddenly got a new very serious competitor.
Far Cry games are like FIFA games, if you expect anything new and revolutionary you're in for disappointment, the people that like the franchise and enjoy it will have an amazing time with it, the game will sell like crazy and Ubisoft won't give a shit about reviews.

Pleasing the woke crowd, upsetting mentally healthy people. Both bring clicks.

I hope so I spent 90£ on it
Though I wish there was an editor, can hope it’s added later down the road.

Oh boy, I was rolling my eyes at this thinking "Why the hell would you swap between English and Spanish words mid sentence!" I also thought it was a trope; wasn't aware it was something done outside of movies and games.
It is hardly scoring "worse." Both games are firmly in the 80 range of games. FC4 barely edges it. As for why. . .FC6 is the fourth iteration in the "new Far Cry" model it - so far - it isn't iterating on the core in meaningful ways; base assaulting is more varied with better laid out bases, gunplay is quite a bit snappier and the gun customization system seems more flexible. We're still playing Far Cry though and so reviewers are taxing the game for that.
