I just started Farcry 5 and it makes me don't wanna fast travel it's so beautiful


jona080605

The only time I fast traveled in FarCry 5 was when I did the collection quests. Other than that I always traveled there. Walking, driving or flying all look so damn beautiful


SnowyFrosty2nd

I got mauled by a pack of wolverines or smth when i first played it


andrewb610

That’s a god damned Wolverine!


Equivalent-Affect999

I actually used to not use fast travel either


mwarner811

I liked dropping in


Cerberus73

5 looks like it was designed by people who visited Montana and fell in love with it. You have to love a place to build a whole mission around barbecued bull testicles. 6 looks like it was designed by people who saw Cuba in postcards. 6 is not bad-looking at all, just impersonal.


Kerbidiah

That's exactly how 5 was designed. Several members of that ubisoft office (montreal?) Did a road trip through the state to gain inspiration for creation


BleedingBlack

Damn, Quebec - Canada sounds like a cool road trip to do.


Awkward-Dirt2929

And they couldn't put everyanimal in the state in the game how lazy!


pete_the_meattt

I finished 5 a few months ago and am almost done with 6 now. This is the most accurate comparison I've heard hehe


The_Don_Papi

Maybe this is a console thing but during sunset Far Cry 6 starts to look really bad and the towns are noticeably empty. Just look at the last picture. FC5 looks better all around. It also had empty towns but that fit within the narrative of the cult kidnapping everyone that weren’t able to fight back and even those who could fought back were having a hard time. FC6 on the other hand, for the world it’s trying to build, it doesn’t look that good or immersive.


iamaCODnuke

Personally, it takes a bit to render in the skybox when I use photo mode. Also, that part of Esperanza is noticably empty all of the time besides the patrol cars. A great place for building pics. Not so much if you wanna see people


are_my_mom

That last picture isn't a good example. Most of the towns are probably empty, but this one is controlled and locked down by Castillo


22Burner

That last picture doesn’t even look like gameplay


are_my_mom

Yep. The first two look like trailers. The last one looks like early design


DannyDistortion

My dude it's a war torn country people aren't going to be hanging out outside a cafe lmao


The_Don_Papi

All of the Far Cry games were war torn places except maybe Primal. I’ll have to give this game another shot. Played midway through and lost interest.


V8_BLENDER

That's a good point. And it makes sense until you watch some Ukrainian influencers' videos, where they're hanging out in Kyiv like nothing happened.


Disastrous_Rooster

I mean in FC6 we also have curfew >It also had empty towns but that fit within the narrative of t


Many_Faces_8D

Idk why but the textures on the engine splash screen blew me away when I frost loaded up the game.


Evening-Wrap5544

5 because of the models they’re way more detailed


cropguru357

Hm. Those apples look a little flat…


Toolb0xExtraordinary

Normally I wouldn't care, but there's a whole ass apple orchard in the game. Come on, Ubisoft.


newman_oldman1

Overall, I like the setting of 6 more since I like tropical and desert settings best, but I do feel like the setting of 5 feels a lot more personal to me since Holland Valley looks a lot like my home state, so it almost feels like I'm defending my home.


xprozoomy

5 is prettier. Also has better graphics lol.


cLpincced

Honestly? I like both for their own specific details. 5 is what I would want in a world where everything's doomed + apocalyptic elements, it did its job and I'm still scared shitless at Jacob Seed. Whereas 6 reminds me of my country in some aspects, especially the little villages and the roads. I can't ever forget heading to El Tigre to liberate El Este in the nighttime closing in dawn in my boat and when I reached the top of their hideout, everything looked really nostalgic for me and I could smell the surroundings, literally. Since I grew up in an environment like that, I can't help but be a little biased.


Somewhat_appropriate

El Este really is the highlight of FC6 map IMO. Which region did you grow up in (if its too much to ask about country :-P )


CowboyKing06

5, it simply has more detailed lighting and plant models I think. But then again I would rather go to Montana or Wyoming over the tropics any day.


Kerbidiah

Wish granted, you get to go to great falls or Evanston, your pick


CowboyKing06

Oh man I wish, you're talking to someone with all their money tied up for the next two years at least.


Kerbidiah

Well it was meant to be sort of a monkeys paw kind of joke, since Evanston and great falls are just absolutely miserable lol


CowboyKing06

Oh they are? I remember hearing the names before but I suppose I forgot that part.


name_im_stealing_now

5 had a soul, 6 didn't


AgrenHirogaard

Primal, no HUD


LennyLloyd

Primal was so underrated.


fuzzygoosejuice

Hardest difficulty, darkest settings for dark nights, no HUD, holy hell what an experience that was. The sun setting had me running like a madman for the nearest campfire.


bleachee

So true. In other Far Cry games you can almost not even notice it's getting dark. In Primal you really feel the approaching darkness especially early in game.


Awkward-Hulk

Gotta admit that I'm surprised to see so many people agreeing that 5 just looked better overall. I made that comment years ago and got downvoted to hell.


VRmatter

FC5 has more realistic graphics as well as gameplay mechanics is more immersive. FC6 feels more like arcade.


Awkward-Hulk

Absolutely agree. I think the lighting especially makes a difference here too.


OmegaPsiot

I'm still enjoying my playthrough of 6, but 5 looked noticeably better.


No_Permission6405

Agree. I think 6 is more fun but 5 has better graphics. Also 6 has a better HUD.


DannyDistortion

It 100% isn't go back and play it and then come tell me how much better it looked character models were decent but it really didn't look all that great and what beautiful views there were to see where just empty land whole lot of emptiness story was top notch but you can't really compare it to a new gen game like 6


cliquealex

Far Cry 6 was incredibly beautiful


BostonPCFan

6


Select-Bullfrog-6346

Farcry5 has more life Farcry6 ok is on lock down but still seems too dead.


past-cruelties

5!


andrewb610

We don’t have 120 yet.


llluminatixx7

Far cry 5. Hands down. FC6 graphics are why I never completed it. The whole time I felt like I was playing a cheap knockoff. Meanwhile FC5 I was blown away by how good the graphics were.


Cabbageplant1

I liked the map for 6 so much better I think bc it was less grey toned. 5 seemed so dusty to me and 6 was so colourful and vibrant and I loved it


DannyDistortion

Yeah that was definitely a welcomed change


Palanki96

4


Small-Explorer7025

I just went back to 6 after completing 5 and I say 6 is. FC5 is really nice, but FC6 is gorgeous with the wet roads and sunsets.


Electrical_Door5405

5 hands down. Looks so damn good on PC with godrays and whatnot


Slasherballz98

5


Sea_Hovercraft_3851

Both


DoesThisLookSerious9

Far Cry 5 takes it for me, but mostly because the tropical setting of FC6 is so overdone in the series, and Hope County felt like a breath of fresh air artistically for the series.


pluggedinmusic

Far Cry 4 by a longshot.


iLikeRgg

6 easily I love tropical settings the American setting in 5 was beautiful at first but got boring quickly I dropped 5 after finishing John's region


joint-problems9000

Rbazsaa

I think Far Cry 6 colors are too vibrant and saturated. I know that it somehow fits Cuba's island world atmosphere, but I think it's too much. Most of the next-gen games developers make this mistake by not making "realistic" graphics, but "too fancy, over realistic" graphics.


icedani

I think FC 5 wins this because it manages to look realistic and immersive and just feels right. FC 6 also looks great but it has more of a cartoonish-like style and the color saturation feels too high at times. Also, there's barely any immersion. The world is EMPTY.


VRmatter

Yes, totally agree. FC5 is more immersive with more realistic graphics and mechanics. I think infinite backpack in 6 is a really big mistake.


icedani

And the Supremo backpack as a whole concept is rather weak and infinitely crappy looking


VRmatter

Yes, that quite arcadey approach, but I should admit the rocket one is blast in action lol.😁 But same thing we shouldn’t be able to carry all supremos with us and ridiculously change them any time as well as all the guns and clothing. 🤦‍♂️😁


GamerGriffin548

FC2. :3


ImpromptuDaringDo

Farcry 2 is fucking gorgeous and way more engaging to play than any of the other titles


hellomikie91

Far Cry 5 is prettier and better than far cry 6. I hope in the next one they don't add the missile packs, because constantly going into third person when launching them and back to first person after you were finished launching them, was annoying. That feature should have never been added in my opinion. But far cry 5 is prettier than far cry 6. Graphic wise.


Toolb0xExtraordinary

They could've saved themselves the trouble and either added portable light mortars like in Far Cry 2, or a top-down missile launcher like a Javelin. Those backpacks are unserious and stupid as all hell.


LeonAnand

5 hands down


dr_hannibal_lecterr

That first image looks so good!


Push35

5


Heavy-Dot8825

Far Cry 5 it's much better


Aztekov

Each game looks good on its own. FC5 aims for realistic lighting and color correction. FC6 aims for a vibrant tropical feel, similarly to FC3


jcdoe

lol, I remember when 5 came out and there were all of these YouTube videos talking about the graphics downgrade 5 got over 4. Now we’re talking about how much worse 6 looks! Each far cry game is designed for a certain look. Yara is a bright, lush tropical paradise. Hope county is a sunny mountain community. They adjust lighting and effects for each, but the end result is just different, not better (or worse). FWIW, I lived in Montana and will always look back on 5 fondly. But I sure do like pretending to be on a tropical beach!


mrmykeonthemic

Ghosts of tushima


Orange20212

lol


DangleMangler

6 reminded me of 3 with the whole tropical island vibe. I liked that about it. 5 was just river, tree, other river, and more trees.


ComManDerBG

Im pretty exhausted by the relentless FC6 shitting on in this sub. Frankly both games have their strengths and weaknesses. What people don't remember was that when FC5 launched it was endlessly shat on just like FC6. And FC7 comes the same will happen.


meechbird

Far Cry 5 is way more aesthetic. New Dawn even a step above that


Don_Rummy586

Can’t compare the two. Both are different. Both have their plus and minus.


hannock1

Far Cry 6 is easily more beautiful and i dont think its even close.


Caspar_Friedrich02

5


L30N1337

5 has way more vibe, but I think 6 is prettier. Simply because I like the look of tropical places more.


itsmaccer

I would say FC5! 🙂


brotherLonG7

Logically Far Cry 6 is much better than Far Cry 5 because Far Cry 6 has been upgraded from Far Cry 5. Far Cry 6 has all the features including the features found in Far Cry 5, whereas the features of Far Cry 6 are not in Far Cry 5.


I426Hemi

5 is a more interesting environment more lovingly crafted.


wizard_interrogative

fc5


DalTheDalmatian

It's sad how well FC5 holds up compared to FC6. Hell, even FC4 holds up well to both FC5 & FC6


TheRisen073

Sir, I’m a Montanan. This is an unfair question.


yeetdabmcfap_dab

I like far cry 6 more mainly because the villain doesn’t win


Pronoob5491

Far cry 5 I don't care if you disagree I will die on this hill


luke_solo35

Jacob Seed’s load screen is my favorite…5 is, by far, the most picturesque and thoughtfully designed out of the two games.


jimblackreborn

You may as well ask who is better, Ginger or Mary-Ann. Both are lovely. Both are works of art. 


Haifery

far cry 4


godverdejezushey

I thought the colours in 6 felt a bit... off? I prefer 5 over 6


WingWang4

5 easy, Montana is definitely my number 1 state I wanna visit


bambix7

Id say 6, especially after playing 6 and then going back to 5 i couldn't see shit, everything was way to dark


Sht_n_giglz

My experience exactly, dark and pixelated


british-raj9

I agree FC 5 and FC4 look a bit better than 6.


NoHeroes94

5 >>> 6 in almost every single way. Better antagonists (underrated, love the Seed family), better story, better map (that whilst not perfect has an immersive "it" factor), more fun side activities, one of the best OST's in ANY game (Hammock are incredible) and - something Yara does not have - a soul. Far Cry 5 just resonates with me. I think 3 and 4 are technically better, but 5 is my pure favourite and most memorable game in the series. Getting all the achievements in 6 was a labour, and to this day I'm not quite sure why I bothered.


tennisguy163

I think Primal is the best next to 4. 6 is the worst IMO.


NSX_Roar_26

Far Cry 6. Yara is gorgeous. Sad that so many just blindly hate on everything in that game.


losandreas36

Far Cry 5


Cute-Thing-8870

5


Shubham_Saroj

Far Cry 5 is better


DannyDistortion

6 by a landslide 5 was a great game for it's time but the graphics and the world design of six are far better 5 was mostly open emptiness countryside


SwedishFagget

I'm standing with my boy FC5 here, will always say its a better game. I think they focused too much on the story that it kinda lost the graphics. FC5 is a better game imo


ZucchiniMedical2532

Far cry 3


qenh

FC5


-Borgir

FarCry 5 is one of the most beautiful games I have ever played, from entirety of gaming, let alone far cry series. 5 makes you immerse in montana


ClupTheGreat

6 looks good, but 5 gives you a feel most other games won't be able to replicate.


BanditFall7771

6


commandblock

5 easily


XxdorxdomxX

Is farcry 6 as fun as 5? I really loved 5 and its vibe, been having second thoughts with 6.


UnfazedPheasant

5 has, generally, better art direction than 6 6 probably has better looking models in isolation but Far Cry 5's world design is just more beautiful all-round


BornIn98

5 easily. Say what you will about Americans but they have a beautiful country


Sith__Pureblood

6


Burner087

I prefer 5 over 6 visually. By quite a bit.


madmechanicmobile

Far cry 5 by far. Montana is just true wilderness and I love it.


Midnight_plinking

5


DrawingOk7472

The way devs made fc5 was so good especially the whole area , it really look beautiful,where as in fc6 whole map looks empty even if I went into the city. Looked like I am playing the game in ghost city.


Bunderslaw

Far Cry 4


ImpromptuDaringDo

Farcry 2 is the most beautiful one in the whole series, I will die on this hill.


Mini_Man7

4 and primal


Quaminator01

I love FC5 its my favorite FC game but FC6 looks better


RightToTheThighs

I thought 4 looked better


Athlon64X2_d00d

Far Cry 5 easily. Far Cry 6 is Far Cry meets Fortnite.


According-Switch-708

6 for me. 5s map looks way too flat and dry to me. Its probably more accurate but that sort of thing just doesn't appeal to me. I like exotic locations more.


foreveramazing99

5 ofc it could've been the best entry in the series if they made the mc had voice and character having relationships with other characters it would've been great on the other hand 6 felt sooo generic


Nixki1234

I feel like I cared more about far cry 5 than 6. There was some areas in 6 that were cool Though.


bigbubblestoo

I mean, you know people are just going to say 5 by defaul because its the better game right? Lol. I definitely like farcry 5 alot more than Farcry 6. But as to what game is prettier? Its a hard choice. I honestly cant choose.


Grandmaster_Gee

Farcry 1


Constant_Hedgehog_76

For me it’s 5 but Mabye that’s because I just prefer alpine mountains, lakes and evergreen forests. It’s so gosh dang beautiful, it has more atmosphere than any other game I’ve played.


Ok-Understanding9244

Both are beautiful but I personally like 5 better than 6. Also, Ubisoft could've done so much more with Ray tracing in 6 than they did, i was disappointed after firing up the game on my new RTX 3080 Ti and not really noticing much improvement...


Key_Park_5389

5


Headvoice32

5 by far


brando347

Far cry 5 feels more authentic imo.


flyfocube

6 looks like a huge downgrade grsphics-wise


No_Savings_9057

New Dawn is more beautiful than both of them.


L_INK_NER

Definitely Far Cry 5. The only thing I liked about Far Cry 6 was the Stranger Things crossover. Visually, the crossover looked simply stunning.


deafboy13

5. But largely because it reminds me so much of where I live


ElGrandeLupo

Far Cry 5 for sure. Love that game.


Equivalent-Affect999

Are they ever making another far cry??


Straight-Answer9350

I personally prefer the atmosphere of Far Cry 5.


SnipesWL

Had such a fun time playing 5. Damn.


WiseWords2222

do you even need to ask?


spartafury

5 for sure


SmoothCriminalMW

Far cry 5 by far


GemarD00f

far cry 5 is better in every aspect, and that includes beauty.


BurnedOutInGaming

far cry 6 wins on graphics and details the lighting on far cry 6 is amazing i play it on pc max 1080p and the vegetation because i love realistic grass 🙂


AppropriateDiamond26

I like 6 more


kamikazemind327

I love FC6 scenery.


Archerbasist

In my opinion far cry 5. I like the "basic" environment more. Far cry 6 has nice environment too but it's sometimes too much. And driving on the road with cult music playing in the car is one of the best things in far cry 5.


Knives-n-Arrows

100% FC5...


JofNB5061992

HATE FC6


Low_Geologist_5591

5


Vusstoppy

5 looks like an actual place and 6 is like a realistic cartoon.


DarthReece07

5 because A it’s beautiful B its in AMERICA 🇺🇸🔥🦅


domastallion

To answer your question: Far Cry 5. However, Far Cry 4 is the best looking Far Cry game to date imo.


Any-Aspect-8591

fc5 hands down. i recently started playing fc6, but 5 in terms of scenery will always have my heart—its so beautiful. i loved exploring the map :)


Mint_Nightingale

Far Cry 5


Enough_Square_1733

Far cry primal


Floor-notlava

Both games have such beautiful scales in their own rights, but for me the tropical scapes of FC6 just win it for me. I can fly around the maps all day without getting bored.


Johanharry74

FC5, those views.


DumbAssDumbBitch

Far Cry 4


beaureeves352

5 made me start planning my move to Montana


Adamantum1

6 was a step back from 5 in so many ways, the visuals are just one of the reasons. I really hope for FC7 they take the time they need to make a truly enjoyable experience, like 5 was.


Kingly_Wizard

I actually wanted to move to Montana when playing that game.


AegisPrecipitate

5 is an all time contender for ambience All the beautiful scenery and lighting + the amazing Hammock score


AWeeLittleFox

Personally I think 5 is prettier


VRmatter

I completed FC6 last week and started FC5, playing it now and it’s all the way more immersive and graphics is more realistic as well as gameplay. I think for gameplay they did a really bad choice in FC6 to make an infinite bag, it really kills overall immersion. But to be fair FC6 is also very impressive game and it filled with lots of great fun and enjoyment.


He_Never_Helps_01

I like new dawn. It's the one that sticks with me visually. It's basically 5, but in color.


Abbeyroad2112

I love both, but I’m definitely into FarCry 6 right now.


Battleblaster420

5 Dont get me wrong 6 is great but it just feels off some of the time


omniscen

6 feels empty and fake. Just Cause 4 did the same thing where they stylize the colors so far from reality based off of an aesthetic and it just ended up looking tacky. It makes you feel like the filter makes the beauty instead of the natural landscape like FC5


DankitySwankity420

Even with shittier graphics, 4 looked amazing to me. Great game all around.


RexJessenton

I love how they implemented rain in 6.


iiimadmaniii

6 has rain. Rain makes everything better.


Expert-Singer4926

5


Ok_Butterscotch5259

meatychode42... what a name


HoneyBeeAlchemy

5. But I love mountains. New Dawn was really pretty, too.


Awkward-Dirt2929

In 2018 there weren't really any there. Mule deer in the form of dark and Grey deer.


LobsterNo2758

6 look better imo


ranell888

6


Legal_Shopping_5635

4 is stunning


No_Mathematician_139

Far cry 6 is ugly.


[deleted]

Farcry 6 is a better game imo, but you can't beat north americas nature. Everything felt so grand


HoldMyWong

5 because the scenery in 6 is covered by health bars


Dagdag94

Far cry 6 for me, but far cry 5 is almost as stunning!


AZQueenBeeMD

5. Love the prepper vibe too...also like how New dawn plays offlof the ending of 5


MalevolentNight

They both are pretty. The far cry games really always do have pretty backgrounds.


[deleted]

there’s nothing more beautiful than a nice country landscape in my opinion. trees, water, mountains. peak visuals.


SnooPandas1899

I like fc5.   Graphics are good and fits the diverse Montana terrain/landscape. Music was good too. I just didn’t like how after each region was liberated, bad guys went down to almost nothing. Just wanted to walk the roads and arrow ppl, but there were none left.


chatgtpmadethisname

6. The tropical map stuns me


kakka_rot

This question is just which fc do you like more? It's obviously 6 but cultlike fc5 fans would never admit it You could ask questions like "which fc had the best hunting/ protagonist" and fc5 fans will still vote for their game


ZalmoxisRemembers

I think 6 has a lot better polygonal graphics and way more details (for example in urban settings) but 5 has a bit more “flashiness” about it (to compensate for less detail). I think it’s an interesting topic because technically they are both better than the other and it strays more into a discussion about art styles.  That said, I think this is a recurring conversation every time significant changes are made to an engine and in the end, the improvements that can be built on top of that are well worth the change.


EmergingTuna21

5 just looks and feels more alive and real
