Which Far Cry game is the best?
>>720999753None. All of them a FAR CRY from what a good fps is supposed to be.
>>720999753Far Cry 5 unironically
>>720999753>3 > 2 = 5 > 1 > 4 > 6
>>7209997535>3>4>2Never played 6 and 1 doesn't even really fall into the same category although it's not bad.Any nigger who says 2 is good is just parroting that crowbfaggot. 2 is good in terms of featuring underused aesthetics of the merc shenanigans amidst the civil war in an exotic enough place and that's about it. Design wise it's absolute horseshit of a game that's downright boring to play and boring to navigate through.
>>720999753Far Cry 4 in terms of gameplay
>>720999753None, to be honest. Far Cry 3 is by far the most disappointing one.
If farcry 3 was never made - would we have been spared the hordes of open world collectathon games? This is pretty much the hitler of games in hindsight.
>>721000908No. Assassin's Creed 1/2 was before that.
>>7209997534>3>5>2>1
> FC1Setup the basics of the series. It's a tech demo, not really a game.> FCIHuge improvement over FC1, and the bloom and new artistic direction make it more visually interesting despite the worse hardware. It was also the first game to set up gritty storytelling.> FC2Grittier game overall. It takes the basic setup from FCI and removes the power-ups. No, in this game you're not Superman, it's more like First Blood Rambo.>FC3Less gritty and brings back the power-ups. Not much improvement in the gameplay department.>FC4Better map.>PrimalIt had great potential to be great. But the controversy of reusing the FC4 map didn't help the game. Best aesthetics in the series. >FC5Best game in the series by a long shot. Although the gameplay mechanics are still tiresome.>FC6idk about this game.>the two spin-offsidk about them. FCI kind of replaces the original game. Blood Dragon and Dawn are XBLA fodder
>>720999998>white Christian communities are......LE BAD
2 is my favorite. Warts and all, it's just so goddamn SOVLFVL
>>720999753I like 5. Those rural vibes. Even New Dawn wasn't terrible if you don't consider the antagonists.
>>721001728ended up being cozy as fuck even though they were trying to parody them.
>>721000460>Never played 66 was more-of-the-same. It wasn't bad. But it suffered from the same issue as New Dawn where the actual story and characters did damage to the overall score even though the gameplay was top notch.
>>720999753Redpill me on Primal, is it kino? I enjoyed the Shangrila segments in 4, and theres no good caveman era games
>>721002480The beauty of Far Cry 4's setting will never be beaten imo
>>720999753I think 1 and instincts are best.1 is basically crysis without the suit and I find it charming.and instincts is a better linear version of that with an awesome map editor that's very fun to play with.2 is too brown for me.3 is where ubisoft found their golden cow and never stopped milking it, was great to play the first time though, the map editor was ok, they didn't give you any skills so it was very limiting.4 is 3 with indians and elephants, 5 is 3 with a cult, never played it but apparently both gameplay and map editor peaked here, new dawn is 5 but nuked, and 6 is 5 with Hollywood actors.i think the biggest problem with those games is that once you see it then that's basically it, it's not fun on replay.the setpieces are usually distinctive enough to make you remember everything about the game, i tried 3 after like 10 years of not playing and the second the intro was finished and i had to climb the tower i remember the entire game, couldn't continue afterwards.>>721000908like this anon said >>721000993fc3 success let them know they can use the same formula in non ac games, but even without fc3 it was still there and they could've tried it in the other games they own, ghost recon for example.
>>721002841>>721002792>>721002759oh shit son, it's a Boomer thread
>>7209997533 and 4
>>7209997534 > 1 > 3 = 5never played 2
>>7209997535>Primal>3
>>721002917Primal is one of the best experiences in the franchise. I will give tell you something, though, that's my personal experience and don't let it taint your opinion. The lighting. It is very bright, amplified by the sunrays pinging off the fog - which there's a lot of since the setting is ... primal. I kept getting headaches after playing it for a few hours because it was so fucking bright. I think I have some weird light sensitivity or something. I had the same issue with No Man's Sky after one of the early updates ramped up the saturation. It became unplayable. Not because of the quality of the game. Just the display.
... they made a fc6?
>>7209997534 is my personal favorite. It basically takes 3's gameplay and just streamlines it more and adds more content. And I think it had a very interesting premise for it's story where you basically had to choose between the lesser of two (or three) evils in a civil war, which felt quite realistic. But it was too rushed and superficial to be great overall
>>721003198It was a Ubisoft store exclusive. So it flew a bit under the radar. I'm not sure if it still is and I'm too lazy to check. I did buy it, though. And 1/3 of the story is about helping some tranny come to terms with his dysfunctional relationship (imagine that) so that was a serious blow to the score of that game.
>>720999753you posted it
>>720999753Only FC2.FC3-6 are theme park rides. FC4 is the most fun cut short by shit story.
>>720999753Imagine if the next Far Cry game is set in Palestine
>>720999753You posted it
>>721003719Some people like those theme parks, though. Saints Row vs. Grand Theft Auto arguments come to mind. Saints Row is the theme park. GTA takes itself more seriously. I liked Saints Row over GTA before it went to shit. But Rockstar just keeps getting more and more serious and less fun, like RDR2, so I don't even give a fuck anymore. Not my bag.
4>3>ND>5>Primal>2 (barely played Blood Dragon, so I don't have any opinion on this game).
>>721003740>reverse the nakba by taking control of the 5G towersfund it xi
>>721004034GTA 5's had some serious moments but overall it didn't take itself too seriously; it was quite nicely balanced
>>720999753Far Cry 4. People say it had a shit story but far cry 3's story also isn't really that good honestly. 4's story is just a bit less cinematic and more cynical
>>721004050Well, I wouldn't go as far as to put New Dawn above 5, but I commend your bravery for saying that publicly all the same. New Dawn was a fun ride. It wasn't as bad as people made it out to be. It was just the 2 sheboons (especially on the box cover) that did enormous damage to its potential. They were written to act like russian chess masters, and the MC was written to be retarded and walk right into their traps repeatedly in order to force the story along. That was infuriating. You had no choice but to act retarded and have two dumb black women gloating over you in some sort of humiliation ritual.
>>721001194Forgot 6, at the bottom
>>720999753Of the ones I played (2, 3, 4), I liked 3 the best. 3>2>42 would unironically be great if it had some of 3's mechanics.
>>721004382I completely forgot that game existed
>>720999998>game offers illusion of choice >villain yaps constantly in your ear while you kill his family >companions total everyone in base while giving you stealth bonus >vehicles are op >sniper given to you almost immediately
>>7209997533 = 4 > 5 > 2 > 1 > 6
>>721004378Tbh I would say that 5 might have the edge because of much more content and the better villains, but I just had more fun with ND. The gameplay felt a little bit more challenging compared to the casual experience of 5, the side characters felt more charming to me (at least for me most side characters in 5 just were either just too similar because they all fullfilled the Redneck Stereotype or irrelevant in the greater story like Jess Black, Willis or Hunk) and the Open world visually felt unique to the endless grass plains and forests of 5 (live in an enviroment which apart from the wildlife looks very similar to Hope county, so the Open World felt too generic for me).
>>720999753this one i think
>>720999753Either 3 or 5.3 was great because you were some random retarded rich kid who loses his mind and becomes crazier than the villains5 is great because it's a Far Cry that dared to be set in the US and have some lunatic preacher as the villain. No hate to actual Christians but that took some balls to do, plus the setting is comfy.
>>720999753https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRJGTc3cNvUIf ubushit still knew how to make games we will have new Far Cry Rwanda.
>>720999753Is there any news on Far Cry 7? Been a while since 6 now
>>721004467I also always forget about this game, it's so bad, yet remains unremarkable enough to not be worthy of being remembered. I wouldn't even consider it a Far Cry Game, the only similiary it has to previous installments is not any greater than other Ubisoft Franchises.
>>721005064Greater focus on Multiplayer are the only news we have about the game. I guess Looter shooter or other RPG Mechanics are to be exspected too knowing Ubisoft.
>>721004929I didn't really take it as a knock to Christians. It was just some cult invoking a God, same as all the others. Cults will take some normie ideal and build on it. It's how they hook people. They use a normie foundation so people feel in tune with them.The setting was obviously trying to make fun of rural Americana, but (as someone mentioned) came off as being simply cozy. It never went so far as to be insulting. Or we're just hard to insult. I don't know. I've been questioning how hard it is to insult conservatives lately because we all seem to have a really high tolerance for insults and let shit roll off a lot easier than liberals. But that's another thread.
>>721005140Like someone said, it's 'more of the same'. It has that Far Cry gameplay loop, but nothing unique to make it stand out except them delving further into woke themes. Which is not something you want to stand out for these days.
>>721005246looter shooter does seem like a very obvious way to do FC multiplayer
>>721005464In the core it has the same loop as a far cry game, but so have many other Ubisoft open-world games. After all the core loop of FC is the same as many other Ubisoft Franchises, however FC6 just doesn't feel like a Far Cry game. Even outside of the actual quality it feels like an imitation. It's difficult to put into Words, but there is more to FC beyond Open World Ubisoft slop shooter, at least storywise and 6 just didn't feel like it lived up to it.
>>720999753Far cry 6 tonally felt kinda detached from the rest of the series. From what I remember 3, 4, 5 are a bit more depressing
>>721005668just another case of Designed by the US State Department. see also civ 7, humankind.
>>721005246>>721005538Seems like a lot of people here didn't play FC6, so I'll point out that Far Cry 6 had a sizeable online and multiplayer element. There was a sort of minigame where you had to retrieve a volatile package and take it back to your base hopping from safe spot to safe spot in a time limit. Some other multiplayer stuff in there. So, Far Cry 7 getting into multiplayer stuff isn't a surprise.
>>721005668The whole 'tropical island' feel is so overdone these days, too. I mean, Far Cry alone, more than half of the games have a tropical island feel. That was a mistake.
>>721005346I don't even think that FC 5 is a parody of rural life America. Yes, most characters are heabily stereotyped, but they are still all portrayed with great respect to their lifes and the exegerated American Culture seems more like an actual appreciation for American mentality. Even the Qanon Conspiracy gun nut (Hunk's dad) never gets treated bad in the story (altough he barely has a screen presence).The Cult is not based on Conservatives, but actual cults. The premise is a direct reference to the Siege of Waco and the Aesthetics, mods operandi and people have been inspired by many other American Cults too like the Jonesians.
>>721005916Far Cry but boreal pine forest and cold bogs
>>721005346>The setting was obviously trying to make fun of rural Americana,I disagree. I'm a bong and I thought the non-cultists you dealt with were good people trying to get their normal lives back. I saw no mockery there at all.
>>7210059161, 3, 6 have a tropical island feel. 2, 4, 5 don't. So it's a complete half-half. Technically, more games don't have a tropical island vibe if you count Primal or Blood Dragon
>>721005791I'm aware that fc has mutliplayet elements, but Ubisoft themselves have stated that they want to put Mutliplayer into the greater focus by expanding the aspects. It will definitelly be greater in scope than the few niche multiplayer modes from the previous games.
>>721005916That too, but Yara still had a diverse open world and for the first time even included an actual (,but nonetheless half baked) city to be explored. That puts it at least over the monotonous tropics setting of FC3 and the generic grass and treess of FC 5.
>>720999753Far cry 2
>>721006086>instiInstincts was the game that took the setting from the first one, and the writers were like, “Well, this game is about mercenaries,” and FC2 doubled down on that, making it kind of like Heart of Darkness. And since then, the series has been about American exceptionalism.
