Multiplat Far Cry 6

[RPCB]

I regretfully bought it. Wanted Blood Dragon and the other stuff sounded cool. Haven't bothered with Blood Dragon but the Vaas thing was a bit disappointing. It's just an average rogue like (rogue like seems to be 2021's battle Royale).

Thanks.

I might wait it out to see what the other DLC are both like.

Got this for Xmas and am really enjoying it, about 4/5 hours in, it’s giving me FC2 vibes and I loved FC2.

This game is such a let down. Is it just me or is the AI just ridiculously stupid? Even on the hardest mode the amount of times some enemy has come up behind me and just stood there waiting for me to shoot them has been too many to count. Then theres the endless running between place to place to do some stupid inconsequential mission, only to end up somewhere you've already been and already destroyed which has regenerated specifically for the mission.

I've sunk maybe 8 -10 hours in so I gave it a fair shot but I don't think I'll be returning back to it. It seems to be a common theme with Far Cry games and stupid AI.

The whole game is just bloated and there's not a whole lot of substance to it. Changing between outfits every 5 minutes is stupid. And why can't we go back to when we could just scroll through all our guns instead of only having 3 available, unless we pause the game and go in to a separate menu to replace another gun in the load out.

I don't care if there are 500 guns and 600 different outfits if it's not even fun to use them.

I don't think Far Cry has ever had a feature where you can just scroll through every weapon you have, I just looked up a Far Cry 2 review and even that said you had 4 weapon slots, and they were locked to a machete, a side arm, a primary weapon (regular gun types), and a secondary weapon (heavy weapons).

You sound like you want the game to be the same as every other shit FPS, and I have no idea why you'd need to flick between all that so often, about the only time I change weapons is to switch between a sniper rifle/grenade launcher/rocket launcher depending on whether tanks and air support start turning up.

I agree that the AI could be a lot better, not just enemies, but friendlies and their knack for suddenly running in front of your vehicle when you drive past. I even did a mission the other night where I was just watching new enemies repeatedly fade in at a spawn point in the open, a few metres from where I was standing.

I learned my lesson on the previous game. I grew to hate it so quickly. Just no interest in this franchise anymore

They milked it to death not sure where they can go with the fanchise now.

I think I'm out after this one too, stupid Ubisoft won't change their formula untill the money dries up

Like Assassin's Creed, right?

 

[dav3]

Just finished the story, it's an entertaining enough and a fairly standard Far Cry game with a slightly disappointing (although possibly expected) ending.

Unless they expand on it a little the next one will probably be something I pick up when it's 50% off. I still like the game, there's just bigger and better titles out there.

100%
Big open world but too much filler/repetition for me

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

The next AC could be an online game.

They could have the Animus as a lobby where you can interact with other online players and you get to pick which time period you want to play.

There is an optional 30GB 4k texture pack for PS5 and I assume Xbox.

I have just started the game and tried it but it seems to not be overly worth it. The VRAM requirement of 11gb for this game is too much since I have the other settings on higher levels.

Was getting a solid 100-116 fps at the start on 2k and 60-83 on 4k but it lowered a bit pretty soon after. Unless you are stopping and really zooming in on things it's not worth it for the loss of frames imo. Pretty ridiculous that even a 3080 struggles with it, but it's more Ubi's poor optimization.

 

[Cyber_punk]

Not far in still on the first island, went with female Dani btw.

Aside from VRAM frustrations, I like it. I always have time for a good Far Cry game where I can just blow shit up and cause havoc.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

The next one should make it 3rd person bit like Ghost Recon Wildlands really digged that game

But Breakpoint that was garbage

 

[Cyber_punk]

I played the free Stranger Things Vanishing mission the other day and I have to say they did it really well. It was actually a bit tense and scary at points.

 

[Cyber_punk]

Finished it up, ending was meh.

Overall 5 is still my favorite.

 

[00Stinger]

Is it worth buying for $39?

I loved 3,4 & 5

It's more of the same so if you liked those you'll probably get a bit of value out of 6.

 

[00Stinger]

A few hours in and not minding it so far

I don't know if it's the location but it almost feels like more of a Just Cause game than a Far Cry game so faf

 

[00Stinger]

Got to admit, I'm not hating this game

In fact I am quite enjoying it. But I have really liked all of the Far Cry games that I have played (3,4,5 & now 6)

 

[00Stinger]

The Vanishing mission is pretty cool

 

[00Stinger]

man I'm loving this game

First time in 6 months that I have really locked into a game

Yeah, if you loved the previous games then this is basically the best version of those from a gameplay and technical point of view. Arguably the best setting and map too.

Only knocks on it are the story (ending is particularly weak) and the fact it's the same as all the others.

 

[CarnTheScray]

I thought this game was absolute shit tbh

Yeah it kinda feels like a normal Far Cry with a blend Of Just Cause (which I loved until the last one)
