Im admittedly still pretty early on in the game, but I am genuinely in awe of how fucking kino this is.The atmosphere and tension just moving through the forests is palpable. the designs of the factions and their cultures are both superficially striking and also have some depth in the way they are shown through little details in their behaviour and animations, their settlements, their lore etc, the map design with the receding glacier and how that simple aspect of the defines almost every aspect of the setting from the plot, the terrain, the emerging cultures. there's a serviceable sense of progression. the crafting stuff strikes a decent balance where it is rewarding but not cluttered/overwhelminggameplay is admittedly a little clunky when it comes to melee, but it still ultimately remains supremely satisfying. getting a good hit or a throw in with your spear is wonderful and archery if far cry 3 has always scratched an itch for me. the whole beastmaster aspect is pretty fun Going around at night as more predators come out, jumping at the sounds of nearby predators, then seeing those pin prick reflecting eyes peering from the dark of the forest and starting to circle around you. holy shit what God tier design, utilizing both audio and visual design, and making use of the interactivity of a videogame in such an engaging way my biggest complaint thus far is that the game doesn't have proper audio mixing settings and the ambient sounds are not as loud as they should be in the default mix. my guess is they did that deliberately to allow the player to more easily distinguish sounds, but its unnecessary and the atmosphere would be even better than it is if you could really crank the ambient sounds anyway i cant believe this absolute gemmy of a game is not discussed more, playing on survival this shit sucked me in big time almost immediately.
It's unironically even better if you disable background music.
>>738978795indeed background music seems to be off by default on survival mode, along with some hud elements being disabled, so that's how Ive been playing i still have a couple hud elements turned on but ive been turning them of one by one as i learn and get used to things
>>738978107Fuck it, you sold me on this. Putting it in my list
oh and i forgot to compliment the fact that they chose to construct an entire language that is basically dumbed down interpretations of Proto-Indo-European, basically a fictional proto-proto-Indo-European, so the entire game has not a single word of spoken contemporary language it is absolutely baffling to me that a AAA company like ubisoft signed off on something this immensely ballsy
>>738978107I bought this game earlier this year and played it for about a week or so. I eventually abandoned it because it was too light on the story aspect for me. Just aimlessly running around the map and clearing (respawning) POI became tedious. I also wasn't really into collecting a millon resources to level up huts and items I never used. Ranged combat with bow and javelins was really fun, but melee felt weird. I wish the game had gone a bit more realistic with its stone age weaponry though. I'd rather have atlatls and stone knives that whatever fantasy styrofoam clubs the game gives you. North 02 on youtube has some pretty cool videos on primitive weapons. But I do agree with what you said about the atmosphere. You really feel hunted in this game, especially at night when you get paranoid by every sound in the dark. It makes you desperate to have fire for light and to scare of predators. Other survival games could learn a lot from this.
>>738980282absolutely yea, it still has that far cry 3 game play loop at its core, but you have you have to applaud the way they've done something very cool with it here. the feeling that you are in an immense wilderness with nothing standing between you and the rest of the food chain but a piece of wood and bone is very well done
>>738978107Man that game is so chill, no guns, no cars, no phones, just you and the nature, and some niggers to rape and kill
I still cannot play my copy of the crew on console, ubishit?Well I guess I'm not buying any ubishit game until it's unlocked. How unfortunate.
>>738981267IT CAME WITH YOUR PC, GO TO YOUR CLOSEST TORRENT WEBSITE AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREE, THEY DONT EVEN CHARGE MONEY FOR IT
>>738981381Cool but I bought it on console. Shan't be buying goybishit's games til I can play it offline.
Also, the guy is voiced by Adam Jensen and Sam Coe if you're gay enough to keep track of these kinds of things.
>>738978107Played and beat the game on survivor mode like a decade ago. I enjoyed it a lot. It’s still the only Far Cry game I have played and beat.My only gripe is playing on Survivor mode locks you out of like 2 achievements and so I couldnt 100% it. Stuck at like 97% completion or some shit and cant be fucked to replay it for those last 2-3 cheevos because I feel it would ruin my impression of the game
I got bored after i killed the leader of the cannibals who ever that was can't remember. Surprisingly fun for a ungabunga cave man game. The wildlife should be toned down a bit in my opinion. First time you take down a bear with your spear is tense yes but then 2 more of the fuckers spawn right behind you and some enemy tribe guys and a pack of wolves and an eagle.
>>738980265>oh and i forgot to compliment the fact that they chose to construct an entire language that is basically dumbed down interpretations of Proto-Indo-European, basically a fictional proto-proto-Indo-European, so the entire game has not a single word of spoken contemporary languageIn the prerelease version it was actually 100% Proto Indo European with dialogue translated by historical linguists but test audiences thought it sounded like a modern language so they made it more "ooga booga" sounding on purpose lol>>738981186If you like that I recommend picrel, though it's quite less violent. It's a survival sim where you're an early human ancestor trying not to get eaten in the jungle and evolving over generations to stand upright, make tools and organize your tribe to chase off big predators together.
Hope you're doing it on survival (though you do miss out on certain gameplay features, but it's easily the hardest Far Cry game)>>738981854>It’s still the only Far Cry game I have played and beat.How do you not play through them? Like I understand not playing through Blood Dragon, 1 or 2 as those games fucking suck, but 3, 4 and 5 are really polished quality titles.
>>738980265>it is absolutely baffling to me that a AAA company like ubisoft signed off on something this immensely ballsyYou know how in the movie industry there's the "one for us, one for you" deal? Big directors can alternate between making a popular movie that brings in money for the studio, and are then allowed to make a more auteur work they personally like. Maybe FC: Primal was a rare case of this happening in the vidya industry?
I like how all of the weapons can be thrown. running down a boar and finishing it off by tossing your club at it is the most ooga booga shit ever
>>738983243Ubisoft did the same with Blood Dragon. That was a great spin-off too.
>>738983456It wasn't>Tries to be an "old school hardcore FPS" by removing the limited stamina system, but is just Far Cry 3 in a different coat of paint so you can only carry 4 weapons like it's a console FPS>As opposed to games where you have regenning health, this game has you run away from fights and hit Q to get your health back! That's so much better!>Once you're past the comedy (which some of it is funny I'll admit), you're left with a Ubisoft checklist game>Terrible weapon selection that quickly goes away once you get the final weapon>No enemy variety>Incredibly short>Final boss/moment of gameplay is a turrent section (lmao)>Further proof that western game devs are literally incapable of making earnest games with a hint of silliness like Metal Gear Solid because they're terminally online in a subhuman culture"How bad was vanilla Far Cry 3 when this garbage is heralded as something noteworthy?" Is what I used to say before I finally played FC3 recently, only to discover it's way way way better than Blood Dragon
>>738978107I thought exactly like you in the first 5 hours. Wait til you get further into the game. It gets fucking boring fighting the same 3 enemy types 1000 times and you get basically no new weapons or equipment to use. Plus some of the nigger spear throwers and slingers are like laser guided heat seekers and they will hit you from 500 feet away while you are full sprinting zig zagging every single time so taking outposts becomes a cover based shooter except your the only one without any guns.
>>738983106the only semi-decent far cry besides Primal is 3 and even then you'd be retarded to play it without mods, ziggy's hardcore no hud is basically a must unless you like your enemies being cartoonish bullet sponges.
>>738983243>>738983456Why don't companies make several spinoffs from a single game anymore?Surely it's cheaper than pumping out sequels?
>>738983631>is 3But 5 > New Dawn > Primal > 4 > 3 though (I haven't played 6 yet though I'm expecting it to be better than advertised considering the shit takes regarding Ubisoft games I always see)
>>738983679i've played all of them nigga, 4 would be the best one if it had similar mod variety to 3, 5 just sucks ass no matter how you try to twist it, the fact you can be forced into story missions at any fucking point is a complete fucking dealbreaker, the guns suck dick as well and i was basically forced to use the AR-10 with a low magnification optic as my primary because everything else did piss poor damage, New Dawn was basically 5 but less polished.
>>738983910>the fact you can be forced into story missions at any fucking point is a complete fucking dealbreakerWhy do retards constantly bring this up? Do you hate invasions in Dark Souls too you fucking casual faggot?
>>738983679This anon is a fucking retard. Take this order ranking and completely reverse it if you want to have any hope of enjoying the far cry series.
>>738984024>Far, far too many kidnappings/druggings/spiritual nonsense sequences. From a narrative standpoint, half of the game is Ajay on his back. Not even 5 has this problem because it's interesting like when you become a sleeper cell.>Arena mode feels abandoned. Why is there a map selection when you only get one map and you can't unlock anymore?>The obsession with the bow and arrow. Why? Bow and arrows aren't that interesting in an FPS game.>The elephant is way too fucking OP. I've actually dropped off an elephant at an outpost and watched it go to work and then the game says I claimed it with "no alarms">FC3 has poker (wish it was in 5), FC5 has fishing, FC4 has... oh that's right, nothing.>Sells story missions as DLC, whereas 5 only sells mini expansion packs separate from 5's story.>The poor implementation of coop. I understand some missions wouldn't work for coop, but things like the arena and many basic bitch golden path missions like the poppy fields, you're telling me they wouldn't work in coop?>Forgetting coop, the Guns for Hire feature sucks dick for the same reason, because you can't get a friendly AI to help you for most missions, and outside of missions, I have a hard time finding moments that the hireling would actually be a help.>Terrible rewards. Collect all the masks? Unlimited guns for hire tokens, which at that point are completely useless as you've probably taken over all the outposts. Beating all of the Shangrila missions? Nothing.>Weird bugs due to its outdated engine that Ubisoft hasn't gone back to fix>HONEY BADGERS LOL XDDDSorry lil bro, I've played the games since FC1 (which sucked ass even back then)FC2 is the contrarian's favorite and is generally the Xbox 360's generations first game because it was cheap in bargain bins.
>>738978107I forgot Primal was where the bird drone mechanic came from.
>>738984081Yeah your saved copy pasta argument is all well and good but 5 has a boring world, boring enemies and villains, and boring weapons, and that's really all that matters in these games. The fact you even listed POKER and FISHING as a positive to a fucking far cry game shows you have no fucking clue what your talking about and your missing the point of this series entirely.
>>738978107>wall of text>pretty early in the game but already on 4chingo fuck yourself, you stinky canadianit's probably the best concept ever made in the shittiest game possible>>738980282yeah night was scary
>>738984448>but 5 has a boring world, boring enemies and villains, and boring weapons, and that's really all that matters in these gamesFC5 has the best gameplay and that's enough to make it the second best game in the series (without considering FC & FC2)FC3 >>>>>>>> FC5 > the rest
>>738983959>Why do retards constantly bring this up?because it interrupts the flow of the game, shit is just insanely frustrating when you're trying to farm some resources for equipment, have a plane show up to strafe you, kill the fucking pilot and as a reward you'll constantly have random fucking one hit KO enemies spawn on your ass from that point forward to drag your ass into rape dungeon mission number 7 because it just so happens that you destroying that flying nigger was enough to drag your ass over the point threshold to start the next mission>Do you hate invasions in Dark Souls too you fucking casual faggot?Yeah i bought it specifically to play as a PvE game, i have no interest in multiplayer bullshit, which is why i just play it offline.
>>738983910>4 would be the best oneyou are literally a street shitter
>>738984571The gameplay in these games only consists of 3 factors. The enemies you shoot, the weapons you shoot then with, and the environments the shootouts take place. The shit I listed is all the gameplay retard.
>>738984726>this is what it feels like to be 75 IQ
>>738984641yeah you play the game as a jeet, still it has the best mechanics and would take spot number 1 if it's mod variety wasn't so piss poor, i just really don't like the changes they made specifically to melee and missions in FC5, if it had the same mission, movement and takedown system as its predecessors it would probably be my favourite
>>738984775see >>738984771
>>738983679>New Dawn
im similarly surprised by how hated 2 is. it the game with the most complete implementation of its foundational themes/vision, where the setting, the themes, the influence, inform pretty much every aspect of the gameplay, and it is the least casual, least gamey, most immersive entry into the series. its a game set in the most miserable but still engaging setting imaginable, its based on heart of darkness, and features some guy reciting edgy quotes by nietzsche, and by God it FEELS like exactly that every step of the way down to the smallest detailnear as i can tell most people just hate it because they cant handle the game disempowering them, they want to play the epic power fantasy and dont like feeling at the mercy of a hostile world that is working against them at every turn. and of course everyone wants to just zip around to their objectives and cant be bothered to fight enemy positions so they try to blow through the checkpoints and get frustrated when the jeeps chase them down because of these retards we get slop like 6 that doesnt take its self seriously, its all about the over the top power fantasy and le wacky zany stuff, its overly convenient, and nothing feels like it as a particular unifying vision, just completely gamified slop in many ways far cry primal almost feels like a return to form but it still has that post-far cry 3 core that somewhat undermines it. it does a great job for what it is though
>>738984947post an actual argument
>>738985554this ain't a conversation
>>738985726i accept your concession
>>738981670Jensen's voice is very recognizable. I never asked for this.
I figured it was just another far cry game. I'll give it a shot. Anything I should know before I start?
>>738986461it kind is? it has the core gameplay loop of a far cry game still, but it feels like it has a high level genuine care put into it and is much more immersive if you do play it, play on survival mode
>>738978107wake me when we get far cry anal
>>738985851>m-m-muh cuntseshuncongrats on coming out the closet. fucking fag

>>738978107try turning off your computer, ripping off your clothes, burning down your house, and fuck off to india or africago full caveman immersion mode, accept no compromise
>>738978107>Im admittedly still pretty early on in the gameNo shit. This game has you riding sabreteeth within a couple hours of playing. There's no point in continuing progress after that. The tribes suck and so does the combat. Enjoy it now because it gets old really fucking quick.
>>738985494I loved far cry 2 and have done more than one playthrough of it fully in recent years.A highlight for me was how during a shootout at a checkpoint, a convoy of reinforcements was coming in and i pulled out my rpg to blow it to hell. The rpg fucking misfired and the rocket flew off and ignited an ammo cache and i had to just book it to cover.The best thing about fc2 in its design is there is very little gameified progression, you get more syrettes and better camouflage but thats it. You're the same vulnurable unlucky bastard as everyone else and every enemy could end you the same way you can end them (except not really, ai doesnt have lethal headshots thank GOD)Not just this, the game has design to setup unpredictable and hazardous situations in such a natural way, without making them setpieces and you come away from not feeling like a badass but like a survivor.Far cry 2 is fucking great.I reeeeeally wished stalker 2 could capture that feeling, but desu none of the stalker games comes close to it.Farcry 2 is just in its own league.https://youtu.be/m-7m4vtn-eM?si=TMHraYvK5BPVmncw
>>738983679>New dawnHoly fuck. I thought this was a shill thread. Now I know it is.
>>738978107>judging ubicrap games while still in honeymoon phaseLMAOMAOAOO
>>738978107Kiddies who got filtered by the lack of RPGs are the only ones who dislike this gem.
>>738985494>try to blow through the checkpoints and get frustrated when the jeeps chase them down Because that's bad game design, retard. Having to stop and clear out checkpoints every time you are forced to go to the other side of the map is fucking tedious garbage. After clearing the same checkpont in the forest 5 times, it wears out its welcome. I should be able to rpg the tiny guardhouse and stop them from infinitely spawning if this was real life. As a game concept it's fucking horrid.

>>738983456This and Primal are good for an hour or two but it goes back to just being Far Cry. So if you're into that then you'll like it. Otherwise don't bother.
