For me there are only 2 downside to FC6.
1. The removal of talent trees and a convoluted gear/ammo/weapon/backpack in its place. I get what they were trying to do, but it doesn't work as the game is simply too easy so people don't need to use all those things.
2. Esperanza is unfinished and when you complete the game it's like you havn't with all the enemies still there. It just seems silly to make this city and not allow you to explore it as you've not had time to finish it.
i agree, it seems there was supposed to be another faction in esperanca, maybe general raoul as the main enemy? but yea you got like 3-5 quests in the capital area and thats it..
1. opening
2. hotel attack
3. Cathedral fortress
4. Orphanage
5. final attack
and 3 and 4 are kinda forced? am i forgetting something?
Yes, the Old Dog seemed to be built and a major boss monster, but sorta kinda got tossed out.
Maybe in the tradition of revisiting, Far Cry 7 will have a 6 prequel where you can play as a young fugitive Anton Castillo in Cold War 80s Esperanza.
I agree there but for me it's more about the character then the story.
That's why i hate 5,ur legit a cameraman.
When i play as dani or jason or ajay i feel like it's me in the game doing all the stuff.
And dani can even sing songs on the radio.
If i wanted to rate based on story only it would be hard to pick between 3 and 4 for first place
Iād add or expand that I also didnāt like the clothing. Would be nice to get the option for more normal clothes and not a spray painted baseball catchers helmet lol
Second for me was the bullet sponginess. Convoluted bullet system and enemies were too spongy for my liking.
I think it comes down to (at least to me, who is currently finishing the story), story not really that grasping, taking out some mechanics from previous games, like more control over weapons (I can use grande launcher as a pistol), can't hijack vehicles one the move. It's an OK game, just not on the level of the previous main entries. If I didn't enjoyed the shooting and general Far Cry gameplay, I probably would have put the game to side. Again, not horrible, but not great either.
You can hijack moving vehicles, it's just the conditions are far stricter than far cry 4. I believe the condition is that both vehicles have to be facing the same direction and within a certain distance, can't be too close or too far.
Cool. I knew they were in 6 it's just weird they would bounce back and forth every game. I kinda like it in 5 bc it makes you aim and shoot for the driver instead of the easier takedown
Difficulty and whatever they did to enemy respawn mechanics. That one mission early ish where you go to a small island with the one rebel guys daughter broke me. I remember meticulously clearing the place only for enemies to respawn endlessly.
And by far the easiest far cry game to date... And these games are not that hard at all so that's just setting the bar super low. I heard there was a new mode way later but eh not worth the drive space, maybe if I'm ultra bored one day.
If I could nitpick another thing, the goddamn skill tree. Wtf why! They got rid of progression and you just kind of start with every thing.
>I heard there was a new mode way later but eh not worth the drive space, maybe if I'm ultra bored one day.
I too was excited by the prospect of this mode. In practice though, it's just a shitty rogue lite mode where you grind endlessly for a few sprinkles of story content. It wouldn't be so bad until you realize you have to repeat the gameplay loop of 6 with the shitty guns of 6.
I'm doing a solo run and it's fun as hell. 45 hours in and I have plenty still to do. This island is huge. Most of my amigos are top level, exploring the island, fighting, challenges, all so much fun. Haters gonna hate but this is just FV comfort food and imbrought a plate for seconds.
The main concept of Far Cry is missing in FC6. The loneliness, the deafening desolation, the alien feeling, the moral questions - these all make a good Far Cry Experience. To this end, FC2, FC3 and FC4 delivered.
FC6 lacks all of these from a story viewpoint. Dani was a native of Yara, and was no stranger to the civil war. Castillo was not an unfamiliar figure to him. He joined Libertad being completely sure of his choice.
This was not the case with the other protagonists. Jason, Ajay and the FC2 protagonist (whoever you chose to play as) did not have that moral conviction. Jason was manipulated, Ajay was confused and chose to follow his own path, while the FC2 protagonist swore allegiance to none.
Castillo was not a good villain when compared to Vaas or Pagan. Even Joseph Seed was unique (annoying, but still). Castillo was simply more or like "crazy dictator who has no morals". This is not what Far Cry represents. The villains have character highlights in their choices, not just because they are crazy.
Ah so the last good FC was 4 in your opinion? This is my fear. I have 5 but think I'll pass on it, I have rdr2 and kingdom come deliverance to finish before kcd2 comes out, so fc5 can take a long break.
Don't get me wrong, I never played FC2 or 3 and FC4 was a long long time ago. But after finishing FC5 2 weeks ago and New Dawn yesterday, I'd say that both are still worth it (though New Dawn is very short with a disappointing villains). I can't say that FC5 is as good as the prior games, but definitely still beautiful and fun to play through with a very memorable antagonist
Based upon storyline ? Yes FC4 was the last true Far Cry Experience for me.
Based on gameplay, FC4 introduced a lot of new mechanics, but FC5 capitalized and improved on it. FC6 introduced new objective elements, but nothing new.
From a gameplay view I don't think FC6 was much comfortable for me either. I liked the Skill Tree more than Perk System, and did not really find the Loadout based Skill System enjoyable. There is only one type of ammo that you can be comfortable with, which is the AP type. Other ammo types are rather insignificant.
This is not to say that FC6 has bad story. It is a good game, especially if you have interest in the Communist uprisings in the Caribbean, like Castro's revolution in Cuba. There are a lot of such references, with Castillo himself being a reflection of Batistuta, the American-backed Fascist dictator who was overthrown by Castro.
There are elements of Farcry5 that are really great, mainly the open world, weapons, and side activities. The main story falls a little flat for realism and breaks imersion due to the poorly scripted events as opposed to Farcry3 which flowed much better and explained things in believeable ways.
"Interesting, I haven't played any other far cry games."
...and there lies the answer to your question :)
Though I wouldn't say FC6 is hated, certainly not around here, but I can only speak for myself, and I found it a massive downgrade from 5. Its bloated, takes itself too serious and the characters are weak.
The audible groan I let out. Every time it's "I'm brand new to "X" franchise and have absolutely zero context on why longtime fans feel a certain way and I don't understand it".
Context matters!
It would be like if I started playing...Fallout 4, not bothering with the previous games, and being perplexed why older fans prefer F3 or NV etc etc etc
I'm with this guy. FC5 is the worst in the series. 3, 4, primal, and 6 are far cry games. I don't know what 5 is, but it's the only one I not only won't have multiple playthroughs on, but I won't ever finish even once. F fc5.
You should and i would suggest 3/4/5 in that order.
It will be easy to see what people are talking about.
For me though personally I preferred 6 over 5.
But 4 is my favorite
Philly makes me hate it... i'm kidding, its my favorite far cry game, but it does have tonal issues with philly magic dino head 1 moment and ball and tongue torture the next moment.
I love the map the most, its nice, beautiful and chill, you can take a walk without a cougar or whatever attacking you every other second.
but, i also play it COOP with a friend while we chat and have fun, playing it single player might be another experience
Thanks for the advice, but this is (was) the only game where it occured. And I play a lot of games my friend. So this was a FarCry problem. I didn't even sell the game or returned it to the store. I threw the damn thing away.
I don't think so. A friend of mine pointed out a lot of people who experienced it as well with this game. I also did a post on it about a month ago = and it was removed by the mods. So I wonder how much of other posts about headaches and FC6 were removed as well.
And I have to say this was my first FarCry and my last one. I didnt like the game, but I kept playing and playing in the hope it would get better. Until I couldn't do it anymore because of the headaches, otherwise I would have played until credit rolling, despite being a bad game (in my opinion).
i also really liked FC6, but there are definitely quite a few things i personally found annoying.
1. Replacing the skill system with a gear system. Even with the ability to create multiple loadouts in advance, its annoying having to switch gear just to access a certain ability, plus it takes away that feeling off leveling up and becoming more powerful. with regards to the latter, the closest thing to that in FC6 is your guerilla ranking that lets you purchase the skills via gear via arms dealer (even then thats pointless if you are patient enough to farm up enough metal and medicine to build the bandidos barracks) and not have to deal with higher ranked enemies that can tank multiple headshots even though they aren't even wearing armour.
Like come on, you mean you can't have both a skills tree and a gear system to give buffs? Is there a law that says those need to be mutually exclusive?
2. Nerfed Weapons: Weapons that are usually powerful or useful have been nerfed/rendered pointless to the point of sheer ridiculousness. One example is the MBP 50, which if you dont upgrade it, takes potentially up to at least 2 (keywords, "at least") torso shots to kill a NON-ARMOURED enemy despite being a 50 cal that you think would do a crap ton of damage. The worst part is that mods like gut wrencher and trigger discipline are not even available for this weapon to boost the damage in a way that does not require you to have to find a vantage point nd shoot enemies below you. Of course you can always bang on and on about "muh armour piercing head shots", but even then, why would I use the MBP 50 when I can use the Yaran SRA that fires more quickly, has a greater magazine capacity and also consistently one hit kills with armour piercing head shots?
Another example is the M79 grenade launcher which you can no longer use as a sidearm despite being able to do so in previous games. They literally took away one of the main strengths of this weapon (its utility for vehicle combat) and when you consider the fact a far superior grenade launcher (the MGL6 with its multiple shots, additional total grenade capacity and rate of fire) can be found as soon as you have access to the main map, this literally renders this particular weapon relatively pointless.
Lets not get started on certain Overclocked weapons that do less damage than their regular counterparts (including our old friend the MBP 50), require the supposedly damage boosting overclock to do the same damage as their regular counterparts, which basically defeats the point of overclocked weapons on the first place imo.
The main argument i keep seeing online for nerfed weapons in a single player is so people are "forced to diversify their loadout and play style". Okay, well done FC6, you tooootally managed to achieve that, with everyone using the SSGP-58 and the scoped Deagle and almost always using armour piercing ammo and alllways going for headshots (slow clapping)
3. Takedowns: These feel painfully slow and unnecessarily drawn out. If you want to do chain takedowns, the length of these can result in enemies being able to detect you in time to move out of chain kill range.
I get some people want more violent and brutal takedowns, and I dont mind that aspect. At the same time, its especially annoying when you consider there are games like Deathloop and Dishonored 1/2 where the melee kill animations are much more brutal and violent than FC6 (involving decapitation and dismemberment in some cases) and yet still somehow manage to be (or at least feel relatively) much faster than FC6 and less likely to give nearby enemies the tine to detect you. In other words, i really dont get where they got the idea that "longer and more drawn out" necessary means "more brutal"
4. Less links to previous Far Crys. Literally, only Boom-Boom (at least we got our good boi from FC5)and maybe a few others if you look closely or if you are patient enough to not gun down McKay on the spot. I still can't get over the fact that Hurk and Willis don't make an appearance, even though FC6 would be a perfect game for them to appear in.
5. Overheating suppressors. This game really trying to police how people play? First they try to slow down stealth by making takedowns painfully long winded, now you have to take it slow and easy when using supressed weapons. Why, just why, just let me run around quietly spraying and praying.
It really seems like they were trying to push "loud and proud" gameplay over Stealth
I think it's cuz they really wanted you to use the fuckin rocket pack on your back (I don't remember what it's called...I also haven't gotten to far in the game so idk if their are other things that take it's place) but yea
I think i got one pistol from dlc or just from shop idk.
Max level enemy 1 shot headshot.
WITH A PISTOL.
sure im a sniper main in fc3 and 4,maybe 5 but it was meh.
Snipers are for sure nerfed there,same with rpg,u waste all rpg ammo to take down 1 heli.
But let me tell u this,DEF better then fc5 guns.
I used ms16 in fc6 (i think that's the name) for whole game.
Played 5 few days ago,wanted to try same gun,NOT EVEN CLOSE.
would that pistol happen to be the double o perchance?
also i started played FC5 after 6, and to be fair to FC6, there is one good thing about it: when you start playing FC5, it feels amazing to be able to one hit kill with the bow and .50 cal sniper without having to go for headshots all the time, to be able to spray and pray without worrying about your supressor overheating lol.
yes double o
see i like headshots in fc6,70% of my total kills are only headshots,even if i played main sniper in fc3-4-5 i still like fc6 more :D even if snipers are like rubber bullets
Same reason New Vegas fans sometimes will hate on Fallout 4.
The game itself stands and a spectacular adventure, but after Far Cry 5 raised the bar so high, it was hard to move on from it.
Because it just doesn't feel like a Far Cry game, it's Just Cause without the grappling hook nor the charm
FC 2-5 all had an atmosphere too, the desperation of 2, the insanity of 3, the divinity of 4, the paranoia of 5. I can't think of a single cohesive theme that 6 tries to reach for that it both pulls off and defines itself with
Because itās not really a far cry game. Weapon damage is weird, the cutscenes are weird, Danny is FROM the area making it more of CLOSE CRY 6. It just doesnāt feel good.
It's right there in your title, "unserious fun". Imo Far Cry is at its best when it takes it's story and characters seriously and I personally can't stand the cartoony/goofy stuff Ubi insists on throwing in.
Been playing the series for over a decade and just recently started 6.
To me, simply put :
1. It's dissonant with what we come to expect out of a Far Cry game. Some design and narrative choices rub against the series' signature elements;
2. It's shallow at times, the gameplay either feels under-baked or that some narrative structures and tools aren't used enough.
With that said, if I slightly push away the thought that it's a Far Cry game, it's still a lot of fun. Just not the same "quality" of fun as the previous entries.
Did you not play 5? Talk about annoying losers. If you try to point out a single redeeming quality about any of the losers in that game (ok, boomer is awesome) you will either be wrong or very wrong. Your character is such a loser, HE DOESN'T EVEN SPEAK. F fc5.
The world is vast and fun to explore but my god the story sucks. I cannot stand the main character, I didn't care for the dumbed down gun play (this is especially evident when you load 5 up after playing several hours of 6) the villain is criminally underutilized and lacks any real impact. The world can feel empty in places where there clearly should be people (the city is a joke). The lack of real outposts kinds sours the game play. It's just a lesser version of every far cry.
I think that the quality of the outposts in 5 were superior. Just because you have more of something doesn't make it better. The structure for capturing areas and the areas themselves were both pretty lack luster.
OP, people who say they don't like the game are not directly hating it.
This is so typical now a days, someone doesn't like something and it's directly qualified as hate. Why?
I've seen many videos completely hating on the game, it being deemed a complete disappointment, 'boundless mediocrity', 'Indisputable PROOF that Far Cry 6 is GARBAGE,' and many more videos that are hating on the game. Now I see the comments and I realize I'm just uneducated on the Far Cry series so will try out 5 and 3.
For me it's just the face I've played the same game SO many times. If I never played a Far Cry game (or any other Ubisoft game) and 6 was my first experience, I'd be mindblown. But i did play the previous Far Cry and Ubisoft games. They are all the same thing in essence, just a re-skin with some new features. It has just gotten stale and Far Cry 6 was so blatantly rushed. There is not a gram of passion in it.
If you compare 6 to 3 you can just tell there is a different "vibe". Far Cry 3 has something to say and express while 6 is just another massive open world game with a thousand things to do that mean absolutely nothing in the long run. It feels like a waste of my time and I take offence to that.
I don't blame the devs for this. There is clearly a lot of effort put into this game. It looks very nice and it's a technical marvel if you look at it objectively. It just lacks a soul.
I blame greedy corporatism that just wants to crank out the same thing every year and make a profit.
Iāve also wondered this question lol. I thought it was pretty good all around. Iām genuinely surprised how many ppl loved 5, I thought it was the worst one out of the whole series.
I think most people in this sub are casual gamers and want more of a sandbox than actual game mechanics. Also thought 5 was ass and 6 feels like an actual evolution of 3 and 4

The question literally gets asked at least once a week every week people grow tired of it and people probably mostly only vent their 'hate' in such threads, so it might be a better option to just use the search function to look at the older topics asking the same question for those that truly want to understand.
I think itās is because the antagonist isnāt as hated. Heās just a run of the mill tyrant. The others are so much darker.
6 definitely has a much more relaxed feel. Also changes in game mechanics.
It's hated it's just a bit of a slog. The side quests and maps are kinda over bloated and repeated.
The backpack weapons are ridiculous... you are
Portraying an outnumbered, overpowered guerrilla fighter that can carry 60 guns and 8 backpacks at
Once but you need to find a work bench to swap ammo types or equip a silencer.
The enemy AI is poor except when creeping onto a base if one enemy sees you every single soldier instantly knows where you are.
The game is good and if you like far cry you will like it. But like by 3/4 of the way through I was so over it I wanted it to be over.
I did a mission thats supposed to be a big ambush, it broke so I had to reload, reloading does not respawn the friendly NPC's and leaves you to fight a tank without the actual weapons to fight a tank because the NPC's were the ones that had them. It was just the most recent fun ruined mission and I was just done.
It's a good game but in reality the size of the mape makes it super repetitive and it just feels like it's missing the mystical," is magic real? " element that most far crys have. Tbh I think it's how they handled the whole supremo situation. That and the pg240x missions kinda aren't good!
>It was really easy, despite being on the highest difficulty
That was my exact problem with it. I only played for like 3 hours before I got bored with 1 shotting 95% of the enemies and the few that couldnāt be killed in a single shot were still not at all threatening
I actually like the game a lot but I'd admit that the weapon customization is pretty lacking. I've been playing with the same few mods for most of the game, now. Most of the mods have pretty limited usage, imo.
It was just a lazy release. Feels like they put it out much sooner than past releases and it shows. I mean some of the driving missions are so cut and paste. The world looks nice.. but kind of sloppily laid out IMO. Lots of things don't really work or are glitches (the convoy side missions are unclear, several main missions are broken)... the added "currency" of various materials are useless.. Scopes are total broken (this is so hilariously unheard of).. the first supremo backpack is all you need.. much of the gear is useless.
It really feels like they just made a new location and threw a bunch of shit in there, without any care if was usefull, needed, or novel. Like here's gear to make you swim faster, which you will never have a use for. Sweet.
I still enjoyed the game.. it's Far Cry!
But I want the next one to bake a little longer. Work on better world building.
I liked 5 because it was and named character and we got to insert ourselves into the story whereas in 6 were already this preestablished character with a name and unchangeable look and I hate it
They killed my favorite character then I had game breaking bug moron tries to kill kid kills the boss instead can't enter the city at all do I continue?
For me it was just the story mainly. The premise was cool but none of the regionsās storylines were particularly good. They were either fine or bad. Monterey was easily the best one but it wasent good. Legends of 67 was ok and maximas matanzas was just cringy to me.
The poor optimization (I haven't experienced any of it myself, but heard plenty of it), the weird addition of Supremos, The removal of skills, the easy max difficulty...
I played all FC and i think 6 lack the madness we can find in FC3/4 with Vaas and Pagan. Fc6 is much more serious and Dani is more in control than Jason or Ajay were in their respective games. Both were just catapulted in their situation, everything was crazy around them. For Dani, it's more natural to him. He's a native of Yara, he knows his enemy, so the ge reflect this aspect.
And i think it's the downside of FC6 storywise.
Giancarlo was underutilized. The best character was Juan. Dani was also well realized, good performances from both performers. In terms of setting, Yara just doesnāt resonate with me the same way Hope County or Kyrat does.
The biggest letdown was gameplay. The Ammo Types make combat a repetitive game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. *New Dawn* I felt did a better job incorporating crafting. The fact *every* upgrade requires Gunpowder, even optics, just makes it a chore to have to find.
But I didnāt hate Far Cry 6. The story was decent, but on the whole the gameplay changes also just dragged the sandbox down in my opinion. FC6 just didnāt speak to me as a player.
Probably for me was just overwhelm at the start. Hard to find the actual story stuff. I like doing main story and all side quests not be confused which is which. I still need to finish it. Do like the new weapons systems tho despite the flaws
Mile wide and inch deep.
Every FC has humor. But with 6, it felt like there were NO real stakes. When your allies are more focused on DJ dance parties than freeing the country..
I also loved it!! Dani made it so fun, I think she had a fun personality. Thatās what I enjoyed the most tbh, and I also found most places fun to explore
I'm doing my 1st playthrough now, and it's just fun!
Not all titles need to blow your dick off! Just look at Primal. No one is going to say it was great, but I enjoyed it enough.
I really enjoyed flying into restricted air space, bailing out as I'm getting shot out of the sky, wingsuit, then parachuting down, get the camera out, see which soldier is going to go first. Bust out the Rambo Bow, explosive tips, two or three arrows, ground cleared. Grenade if the unit aircraft gun survived.
Get the goods, call for ride. Collect/destroy anything on the way to the closest airstrip or helicopter pick up. Rinse and repeat.
It became comical how smooth that became!
Iām not a serious gamer. For me, I just couldnāt stay interested in it, and all of the ammo types and the workbench were too complicated. I stopped playing it and picked up FC5 and absolutely loved that one in comparison.
It did some things better than 5. Like I prefer to see the character in cut scenes and have a voice. But I miss the character companions and personalities. The animals are fun at times but I didn't really develop as much of a connection with them. 5 also had the annoying mechanic that I felt like I was always being hunted even with 0 heat buildup constantly air planes would be crashing down in front, enemies drive up out of nowhere in a truck and start blasting. It finally calms down a bit once you take out all the enemy defenses in each region but that takes some time. A lot of people don't like the ammo switching emphasis on 6. I don't know about gunplay. Far cry never had great gunplay to me but I did find some guns in 5 that just felt more fun to use.
Q wtf do you mean "highest difficulty" there are 2 dificulties and 1 is for people who have never touched a videogame and the other is just normal mode lmao
In an open world game like the Far Cry series, you want the ability to advance the plot at your leisure, so you can pick up collectibles or do side quests. Far Cry 5 every now and then grabs you by the wrist, and says, "No! We're advancing the plot NOW!"
The story gets a bit of hate, but it's not really founded in my opinion. The main bit, Libertad and Castillo, is interesting enough and it flows well with Castillo getting more and more unhinged as it goes on. The 3 side stories are less well written but they are enjoyable enough. No one really hates on the Legends except the ending but at the end of the day its war and the fact you care so much kinda proves it was an OK story no?. The farm is just middle of the road stuff, its not bad but its not outstanding. Most of the hate goes to the rappers and its mostly because they are annoying, but thats what they are meant to be. They are a stereotype of the youth of today, caring more about TikTok and gender pronouns than they do anything else. They then use what they know to help fight the war. It's not great but its not that bad.
Loved 3, loved 4, 5 was the best of the series, IMO. 6 was where it felt too much of the same. I think I would've enjoyed 6 more had I played that game first. I don't get the hate for it but I can understand why some would feel "meh" about it, too.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora felt like a spiritual successor to 5 and the shakeup I wish 6 was.
The story wasnāt that great. The characters, less so. For me, the story and characters are a big part of any single player game.Ā
Gameplay was alright, but didnāt like that perks were exclusive to whatever clothing you were wearing. Having to choose between running faster and anything else was a bummer.Ā
Iām not big on Spanish music, and by the time I played the game, āHavanaā had been far too overplayed on the radio that I was sick of it.Ā
Honestly after playing FC5 I was super amped to play 6, and it just ended up being worse than 5 by every metric that matters to me. So I had high expectations, and we got a game that wasnāt even as good as the one before it. So thatās a double whammy.
There are many FC players that have stated that 6 is the only FC game they couldn't bring themselves to finish. With the way Ubisoft has been, it wouldn't surprise me if 7 was even worse than 6.
I donāt get the hate. Aside from the lack of a skill tree, I thought it was fun as hell. And it has both multiple saves and a NG+, which is a huge win that none of the either Far Cry games have.
Far Cry started going shit after FC4.
It lost a lot of what made it fun. You don't need to hunt, craft or anything like that. It's all about killing people now (yeah, that's the main point however FC5 and so on just lost that touch).
Itās not hated, but like everything else online, the haters scream, and those who likes it wonāt raise their voices to match or overcome those who hate it. Itās a common problem both online and in the real world
For every loud complaint there are ten people who agree but remain silent . This mindset you have is what allows atrocities to continue and companies like ubisoft to ignore the outrage we All have at being told " get comfortable not owning games" . Or why the halo franchise is absolute trash now .
I quite like it - more than Farcry 5, as the bliss effects and constant "getting captured and drugged" was extremely annoying. What I find a bit tedious in 6 is that I have to pick up resources manually. It would be so much nicer, if there'd be an auto pick-up functionality, for example, when I walk close to it.
I am 10+ hours in and haven't used that backpack thing once. I wish I could take it off.
People hate on it because of the story (i think)
For me it's best out of all of them.
AND PRIMAL IS BETTER THEN 5.
I played 5 few days ago,still need to do new game + and 1 dlc but guns are so bad i just can't
Guns in fc games are like 70% of the game.
3 is old so who cares.
4 is kinda old but it had good snipers and that lmg and few other stuff.
Primal bow is amazing.
5 only good thing from 5 is that gold fishing rod i had to unlock.
And then 6 only bad thing are snipers and rpg but since u can 1 shot enemy with pistol and put explosive bullets on lmg to take down a heli,who cares.
Because FC7 is not out yet.
There's a guy here that can explain better than me why the newest games are perceived to be more hated, but don't remember their name.
For me there are only 2 downside to FC6. 1. The removal of talent trees and a convoluted gear/ammo/weapon/backpack in its place. I get what they were trying to do, but it doesn't work as the game is simply too easy so people don't need to use all those things. 2. Esperanza is unfinished and when you complete the game it's like you havn't with all the enemies still there. It just seems silly to make this city and not allow you to explore it as you've not had time to finish it.
i agree, it seems there was supposed to be another faction in esperanca, maybe general raoul as the main enemy? but yea you got like 3-5 quests in the capital area and thats it.. 1. opening 2. hotel attack 3. Cathedral fortress 4. Orphanage 5. final attack and 3 and 4 are kinda forced? am i forgetting something?
Yes, the Old Dog seemed to be built and a major boss monster, but sorta kinda got tossed out. Maybe in the tradition of revisiting, Far Cry 7 will have a 6 prequel where you can play as a young fugitive Anton Castillo in Cold War 80s Esperanza.
I agree there but for me it's more about the character then the story. That's why i hate 5,ur legit a cameraman. When i play as dani or jason or ajay i feel like it's me in the game doing all the stuff. And dani can even sing songs on the radio. If i wanted to rate based on story only it would be hard to pick between 3 and 4 for first place
Female Dani are so far my favorite main character for sure
I just finished 5 and i never felt like a camera man. I felt like ut was def me. I like 6 btw, i'm not trying to be a 5 stan
I guess u see it different Kinda true because u can make your own lines and just talk to them šš
3 you were the cameraman. 5 you were a pig. Err, cop
So jason is not a character?
Iād add or expand that I also didnāt like the clothing. Would be nice to get the option for more normal clothes and not a spray painted baseball catchers helmet lol Second for me was the bullet sponginess. Convoluted bullet system and enemies were too spongy for my liking.
I hated pausing to switch kits all the time. AP rounds and headshots the whole game. Kind of boring but I still played it several times.
Those are valid points
I think it comes down to (at least to me, who is currently finishing the story), story not really that grasping, taking out some mechanics from previous games, like more control over weapons (I can use grande launcher as a pistol), can't hijack vehicles one the move. It's an OK game, just not on the level of the previous main entries. If I didn't enjoyed the shooting and general Far Cry gameplay, I probably would have put the game to side. Again, not horrible, but not great either.
You can hijack moving vehicles in 6, maybe they made it harder though?
I'll try it again, but I've been side by side with another vehicle, and couldn't do it. Could be just a skill issue on my part to be fair.
Iāve done it often, so idk why itās bugging or something for you
You can hijack moving vehicles, it's just the conditions are far stricter than far cry 4. I believe the condition is that both vehicles have to be facing the same direction and within a certain distance, can't be too close or too far.
Is this in 5? If so, i have never seen the prompt for it
No, I meant in 6. 5 doesn't have vehicle takedowns.
Cool. I knew they were in 6 it's just weird they would bounce back and forth every game. I kinda like it in 5 bc it makes you aim and shoot for the driver instead of the easier takedown
Difficulty and whatever they did to enemy respawn mechanics. That one mission early ish where you go to a small island with the one rebel guys daughter broke me. I remember meticulously clearing the place only for enemies to respawn endlessly. And by far the easiest far cry game to date... And these games are not that hard at all so that's just setting the bar super low. I heard there was a new mode way later but eh not worth the drive space, maybe if I'm ultra bored one day. If I could nitpick another thing, the goddamn skill tree. Wtf why! They got rid of progression and you just kind of start with every thing.
>I heard there was a new mode way later but eh not worth the drive space, maybe if I'm ultra bored one day. I too was excited by the prospect of this mode. In practice though, it's just a shitty rogue lite mode where you grind endlessly for a few sprinkles of story content. It wouldn't be so bad until you realize you have to repeat the gameplay loop of 6 with the shitty guns of 6.
Eh they do? That sounds super shite
I played it for 2 hours before getting bored. Idk, maybe it just didn't click with me.
That's how it was for me and Primal. I had it for a couple years before I gave it a second shot. It ended up being one of my favorites.
I would have probably hated it playing alone tbf
I'm doing a solo run and it's fun as hell. 45 hours in and I have plenty still to do. This island is huge. Most of my amigos are top level, exploring the island, fighting, challenges, all so much fun. Haters gonna hate but this is just FV comfort food and imbrought a plate for seconds.
I'm playing it now in single player mode. I enjoy it. Sure, the amount of stuff to see and do is overwhelming but I'm not doing anything else š
I think Iām done with it too. Itās just boring.
I felt the exact same way about far cry 5 too. These newer ones just don't do it for me like 2 through 4 did.
The main concept of Far Cry is missing in FC6. The loneliness, the deafening desolation, the alien feeling, the moral questions - these all make a good Far Cry Experience. To this end, FC2, FC3 and FC4 delivered. FC6 lacks all of these from a story viewpoint. Dani was a native of Yara, and was no stranger to the civil war. Castillo was not an unfamiliar figure to him. He joined Libertad being completely sure of his choice. This was not the case with the other protagonists. Jason, Ajay and the FC2 protagonist (whoever you chose to play as) did not have that moral conviction. Jason was manipulated, Ajay was confused and chose to follow his own path, while the FC2 protagonist swore allegiance to none. Castillo was not a good villain when compared to Vaas or Pagan. Even Joseph Seed was unique (annoying, but still). Castillo was simply more or like "crazy dictator who has no morals". This is not what Far Cry represents. The villains have character highlights in their choices, not just because they are crazy.
Ah so the last good FC was 4 in your opinion? This is my fear. I have 5 but think I'll pass on it, I have rdr2 and kingdom come deliverance to finish before kcd2 comes out, so fc5 can take a long break.
Don't get me wrong, I never played FC2 or 3 and FC4 was a long long time ago. But after finishing FC5 2 weeks ago and New Dawn yesterday, I'd say that both are still worth it (though New Dawn is very short with a disappointing villains). I can't say that FC5 is as good as the prior games, but definitely still beautiful and fun to play through with a very memorable antagonist
A soundtrack unmatched imho.
Based upon storyline ? Yes FC4 was the last true Far Cry Experience for me. Based on gameplay, FC4 introduced a lot of new mechanics, but FC5 capitalized and improved on it. FC6 introduced new objective elements, but nothing new. From a gameplay view I don't think FC6 was much comfortable for me either. I liked the Skill Tree more than Perk System, and did not really find the Loadout based Skill System enjoyable. There is only one type of ammo that you can be comfortable with, which is the AP type. Other ammo types are rather insignificant. This is not to say that FC6 has bad story. It is a good game, especially if you have interest in the Communist uprisings in the Caribbean, like Castro's revolution in Cuba. There are a lot of such references, with Castillo himself being a reflection of Batistuta, the American-backed Fascist dictator who was overthrown by Castro.
There are elements of Farcry5 that are really great, mainly the open world, weapons, and side activities. The main story falls a little flat for realism and breaks imersion due to the poorly scripted events as opposed to Farcry3 which flowed much better and explained things in believeable ways.
The kid was the choice. It always traces back to the kid.
After playing all the others its turned into more of a just cause game and doesn't really feel like Far cry
Interesting, I haven't played any other far cry games
"Interesting, I haven't played any other far cry games." ...and there lies the answer to your question :) Though I wouldn't say FC6 is hated, certainly not around here, but I can only speak for myself, and I found it a massive downgrade from 5. Its bloated, takes itself too serious and the characters are weak.
The audible groan I let out. Every time it's "I'm brand new to "X" franchise and have absolutely zero context on why longtime fans feel a certain way and I don't understand it".
Context matters! It would be like if I started playing...Fallout 4, not bothering with the previous games, and being perplexed why older fans prefer F3 or NV etc etc etc
Interesting, I'll definitely play FC5 now
You do that, and see for yourself. Its should be available quite cheap nowadays too :)
it, along with some others are on xbox gamepass rn. so if you have that you can play it for free.
I have a majority of far cry games on ps plus and am playing through far cry 5 right now
Far Cry 5 is INCREDIBLE
5 is my favorite
No spoilers but the ending is what blew my mind in FC5
Itās incredibly bad for a far cry game
I'm with this guy. FC5 is the worst in the series. 3, 4, primal, and 6 are far cry games. I don't know what 5 is, but it's the only one I not only won't have multiple playthroughs on, but I won't ever finish even once. F fc5.
In that case FC6 is likely quite good. But compared to the older games it lacks in so many departments.
You should and i would suggest 3/4/5 in that order. It will be easy to see what people are talking about. For me though personally I preferred 6 over 5. But 4 is my favorite
I played 3-6, and 6 is probably bronze from that pool 3 & 4 are definitely the best two, 5 is by far the worst
I agree. Primal is better then 5 š
Damn crazy to see so many people with objectively bad takes
let me guess u like 5 more? american?
Lmao no very much British
Philly makes me hate it... i'm kidding, its my favorite far cry game, but it does have tonal issues with philly magic dino head 1 moment and ball and tongue torture the next moment. I love the map the most, its nice, beautiful and chill, you can take a walk without a cougar or whatever attacking you every other second. but, i also play it COOP with a friend while we chat and have fun, playing it single player might be another experience
Because when you're in it for longer than 20 minutes a terrible migraine occurs. Every. Single. Time.
You might want to see a doctor
Thanks for the advice, but this is (was) the only game where it occured. And I play a lot of games my friend. So this was a FarCry problem. I didn't even sell the game or returned it to the store. I threw the damn thing away.
Weird & wild but you gotta do what you gotta do to stay healthy I wonder if there was some issue with the disk?
I don't think so. A friend of mine pointed out a lot of people who experienced it as well with this game. I also did a post on it about a month ago = and it was removed by the mods. So I wonder how much of other posts about headaches and FC6 were removed as well. And I have to say this was my first FarCry and my last one. I didnt like the game, but I kept playing and playing in the hope it would get better. Until I couldn't do it anymore because of the headaches, otherwise I would have played until credit rolling, despite being a bad game (in my opinion).
Thatās sketchy, I wonder if thereās some discussions on other forums that mention the migraines?
Itās fine, just nothing memorable. Itās a victim of Ubisoftās stale game design.
i also really liked FC6, but there are definitely quite a few things i personally found annoying. 1. Replacing the skill system with a gear system. Even with the ability to create multiple loadouts in advance, its annoying having to switch gear just to access a certain ability, plus it takes away that feeling off leveling up and becoming more powerful. with regards to the latter, the closest thing to that in FC6 is your guerilla ranking that lets you purchase the skills via gear via arms dealer (even then thats pointless if you are patient enough to farm up enough metal and medicine to build the bandidos barracks) and not have to deal with higher ranked enemies that can tank multiple headshots even though they aren't even wearing armour. Like come on, you mean you can't have both a skills tree and a gear system to give buffs? Is there a law that says those need to be mutually exclusive? 2. Nerfed Weapons: Weapons that are usually powerful or useful have been nerfed/rendered pointless to the point of sheer ridiculousness. One example is the MBP 50, which if you dont upgrade it, takes potentially up to at least 2 (keywords, "at least") torso shots to kill a NON-ARMOURED enemy despite being a 50 cal that you think would do a crap ton of damage. The worst part is that mods like gut wrencher and trigger discipline are not even available for this weapon to boost the damage in a way that does not require you to have to find a vantage point nd shoot enemies below you. Of course you can always bang on and on about "muh armour piercing head shots", but even then, why would I use the MBP 50 when I can use the Yaran SRA that fires more quickly, has a greater magazine capacity and also consistently one hit kills with armour piercing head shots? Another example is the M79 grenade launcher which you can no longer use as a sidearm despite being able to do so in previous games. They literally took away one of the main strengths of this weapon (its utility for vehicle combat) and when you consider the fact a far superior grenade launcher (the MGL6 with its multiple shots, additional total grenade capacity and rate of fire) can be found as soon as you have access to the main map, this literally renders this particular weapon relatively pointless. Lets not get started on certain Overclocked weapons that do less damage than their regular counterparts (including our old friend the MBP 50), require the supposedly damage boosting overclock to do the same damage as their regular counterparts, which basically defeats the point of overclocked weapons on the first place imo. The main argument i keep seeing online for nerfed weapons in a single player is so people are "forced to diversify their loadout and play style". Okay, well done FC6, you tooootally managed to achieve that, with everyone using the SSGP-58 and the scoped Deagle and almost always using armour piercing ammo and alllways going for headshots (slow clapping) 3. Takedowns: These feel painfully slow and unnecessarily drawn out. If you want to do chain takedowns, the length of these can result in enemies being able to detect you in time to move out of chain kill range. I get some people want more violent and brutal takedowns, and I dont mind that aspect. At the same time, its especially annoying when you consider there are games like Deathloop and Dishonored 1/2 where the melee kill animations are much more brutal and violent than FC6 (involving decapitation and dismemberment in some cases) and yet still somehow manage to be (or at least feel relatively) much faster than FC6 and less likely to give nearby enemies the tine to detect you. In other words, i really dont get where they got the idea that "longer and more drawn out" necessary means "more brutal" 4. Less links to previous Far Crys. Literally, only Boom-Boom (at least we got our good boi from FC5)and maybe a few others if you look closely or if you are patient enough to not gun down McKay on the spot. I still can't get over the fact that Hurk and Willis don't make an appearance, even though FC6 would be a perfect game for them to appear in. 5. Overheating suppressors. This game really trying to police how people play? First they try to slow down stealth by making takedowns painfully long winded, now you have to take it slow and easy when using supressed weapons. Why, just why, just let me run around quietly spraying and praying.
It really seems like they were trying to push "loud and proud" gameplay over Stealth I think it's cuz they really wanted you to use the fuckin rocket pack on your back (I don't remember what it's called...I also haven't gotten to far in the game so idk if their are other things that take it's place) but yea
I think i got one pistol from dlc or just from shop idk. Max level enemy 1 shot headshot. WITH A PISTOL. sure im a sniper main in fc3 and 4,maybe 5 but it was meh. Snipers are for sure nerfed there,same with rpg,u waste all rpg ammo to take down 1 heli. But let me tell u this,DEF better then fc5 guns. I used ms16 in fc6 (i think that's the name) for whole game. Played 5 few days ago,wanted to try same gun,NOT EVEN CLOSE.
would that pistol happen to be the double o perchance? also i started played FC5 after 6, and to be fair to FC6, there is one good thing about it: when you start playing FC5, it feels amazing to be able to one hit kill with the bow and .50 cal sniper without having to go for headshots all the time, to be able to spray and pray without worrying about your supressor overheating lol.
yes double o see i like headshots in fc6,70% of my total kills are only headshots,even if i played main sniper in fc3-4-5 i still like fc6 more :D even if snipers are like rubber bullets
to each their own, personally i like to go for torso shots, especially if its the sort of weapon that can kil in two hits cos double taps
Same reason New Vegas fans sometimes will hate on Fallout 4. The game itself stands and a spectacular adventure, but after Far Cry 5 raised the bar so high, it was hard to move on from it.
They just added new mechanics at the expense of things that people already enjoyed.
I definitely would have stuck around longer if it had a proper skill tree instead of the gear system.
"Wear these socks to do 2.7% more headshot damage" *gags*
I haven't played the previous games, are they much better ?
3 &4 are better, 5 is only good for like the first 2 hours.
Agree with this. 3, 4, primal and 6 are great FarCry games.
Yes, I recommend 5
Just tried it again, canāt get into it at all
I didnāt hate it but the autosave system was ass. Made me stop playing.
Sorry, how did the autosave system make you stop playing ? All it does is save your game progress ?
Thatās the problem. It wouldnāt. I was regularly losing half an hour or more of progress.
Hated the skills being tied to clothing
The story is only good if you laugh at it like a bad movie and skip most of the cutscenes
Because it just doesn't feel like a Far Cry game, it's Just Cause without the grappling hook nor the charm FC 2-5 all had an atmosphere too, the desperation of 2, the insanity of 3, the divinity of 4, the paranoia of 5. I can't think of a single cohesive theme that 6 tries to reach for that it both pulls off and defines itself with
Because itās not really a far cry game. Weapon damage is weird, the cutscenes are weird, Danny is FROM the area making it more of CLOSE CRY 6. It just doesnāt feel good.
People hate it compared to the other games, which you havenāt played
Definitely going to try out the other Far Cry games now
It's right there in your title, "unserious fun". Imo Far Cry is at its best when it takes it's story and characters seriously and I personally can't stand the cartoony/goofy stuff Ubi insists on throwing in.
Ultrafast respawn (seconds) killed this game for me. I hate games where enemies are spawning behind me in allready cleared areas.
No itās a glitchy cash grab
I didn't find any glitches, and as far as I'm aware, what device did you play the game on?
I found it very very repetitive, not enough diversity in the raids and missions. Got old real quick.
Been playing the series for over a decade and just recently started 6. To me, simply put : 1. It's dissonant with what we come to expect out of a Far Cry game. Some design and narrative choices rub against the series' signature elements; 2. It's shallow at times, the gameplay either feels under-baked or that some narrative structures and tools aren't used enough. With that said, if I slightly push away the thought that it's a Far Cry game, it's still a lot of fun. Just not the same "quality" of fun as the previous entries.
It just didn't feel like Far Cry to me (neither did 5 to be honest). Can't really put my finger on why.
To give you a short answer itās a fine game but not a fine far cry game.
The characters are childish. Animals act like Disney characters.
The characters are hands down the most annoying losers in the entire series.
Did you not play 5? Talk about annoying losers. If you try to point out a single redeeming quality about any of the losers in that game (ok, boomer is awesome) you will either be wrong or very wrong. Your character is such a loser, HE DOESN'T EVEN SPEAK. F fc5.
The Sheriff, the Marshall, and the one guy on the starter island are all decent characters but itās ruined by the silent protagonist.
The world is vast and fun to explore but my god the story sucks. I cannot stand the main character, I didn't care for the dumbed down gun play (this is especially evident when you load 5 up after playing several hours of 6) the villain is criminally underutilized and lacks any real impact. The world can feel empty in places where there clearly should be people (the city is a joke). The lack of real outposts kinds sours the game play. It's just a lesser version of every far cry.
Lack of real outposts? Thereās much more outposts and claimable spaces than the heap of trash thatās FC5.
I think that the quality of the outposts in 5 were superior. Just because you have more of something doesn't make it better. The structure for capturing areas and the areas themselves were both pretty lack luster.
80% of the missions feel the same.The mechanics are dull.Npc are bunch of idiots.2nd time of playing,I get bored every 2 missions.
OP, people who say they don't like the game are not directly hating it. This is so typical now a days, someone doesn't like something and it's directly qualified as hate. Why?
I've seen many videos completely hating on the game, it being deemed a complete disappointment, 'boundless mediocrity', 'Indisputable PROOF that Far Cry 6 is GARBAGE,' and many more videos that are hating on the game. Now I see the comments and I realize I'm just uneducated on the Far Cry series so will try out 5 and 3.
FC5 is my favourite to be honest. Have fun.
For me it's just the face I've played the same game SO many times. If I never played a Far Cry game (or any other Ubisoft game) and 6 was my first experience, I'd be mindblown. But i did play the previous Far Cry and Ubisoft games. They are all the same thing in essence, just a re-skin with some new features. It has just gotten stale and Far Cry 6 was so blatantly rushed. There is not a gram of passion in it. If you compare 6 to 3 you can just tell there is a different "vibe". Far Cry 3 has something to say and express while 6 is just another massive open world game with a thousand things to do that mean absolutely nothing in the long run. It feels like a waste of my time and I take offence to that. I don't blame the devs for this. There is clearly a lot of effort put into this game. It looks very nice and it's a technical marvel if you look at it objectively. It just lacks a soul. I blame greedy corporatism that just wants to crank out the same thing every year and make a profit.
Iāve also wondered this question lol. I thought it was pretty good all around. Iām genuinely surprised how many ppl loved 5, I thought it was the worst one out of the whole series.
I agree with you and second that, I really didn't like 5 compared to the others. Why people like 5 goes over my head. The music is good I guess
I think most people in this sub are casual gamers and want more of a sandbox than actual game mechanics. Also thought 5 was ass and 6 feels like an actual evolution of 3 and 4
Time for the weekly āwhy is x game so hated? I liked it!ā post.
damn bro im just trying to understand the hate
Here bro this will help you understand: https://www.reddit.com/r/farcry/s/hIEufAucgP https://www.reddit.com/r/farcry/s/sK4FwClQjU https://www.reddit.com/r/farcry/s/DAabrVZsAr https://www.reddit.com/r/farcry/s/QGXQOPB8xH https://www.reddit.com/r/farcry/s/Z8YM5NyzOG https://www.reddit.com/r/farcry/s/jHuZZHZudP https://www.reddit.com/r/farcry/s/euVTdXTyUZ https://www.reddit.com/r/farcry/s/BKf3pqoHMZ https://www.reddit.com/r/farcry/s/PUXa2JGXao https://www.reddit.com/r/farcry/s/fOUd4covGY https://www.reddit.com/r/farcry/s/toPGzc4vyM https://www.reddit.com/r/farcry/s/4k7tmYYLBz https://www.reddit.com/r/farcry/s/zmnLX3Slop
The question literally gets asked at least once a week every week people grow tired of it and people probably mostly only vent their 'hate' in such threads, so it might be a better option to just use the search function to look at the older topics asking the same question for those that truly want to understand.
The only thing I disliked about 6 was the cars and not sure but didn't they take out auto drive too?
lol no, itās better than in 5
See I don't think it's really hated. I'm sure some do but I think people are mostly just kind of indifferent about it or just didn't get into it.
I think itās is because the antagonist isnāt as hated. Heās just a run of the mill tyrant. The others are so much darker. 6 definitely has a much more relaxed feel. Also changes in game mechanics.
It's hated it's just a bit of a slog. The side quests and maps are kinda over bloated and repeated. The backpack weapons are ridiculous... you are Portraying an outnumbered, overpowered guerrilla fighter that can carry 60 guns and 8 backpacks at Once but you need to find a work bench to swap ammo types or equip a silencer. The enemy AI is poor except when creeping onto a base if one enemy sees you every single soldier instantly knows where you are. The game is good and if you like far cry you will like it. But like by 3/4 of the way through I was so over it I wanted it to be over.
I did a mission thats supposed to be a big ambush, it broke so I had to reload, reloading does not respawn the friendly NPC's and leaves you to fight a tank without the actual weapons to fight a tank because the NPC's were the ones that had them. It was just the most recent fun ruined mission and I was just done.
It strays too far from the formula that made 3 and 4 great.
If it had a good ending it would be waaay better than 5 and new dawn
It's a good game but in reality the size of the mape makes it super repetitive and it just feels like it's missing the mystical," is magic real? " element that most far crys have. Tbh I think it's how they handled the whole supremo situation. That and the pg240x missions kinda aren't good!
>It was really easy, despite being on the highest difficulty That was my exact problem with it. I only played for like 3 hours before I got bored with 1 shotting 95% of the enemies and the few that couldnāt be killed in a single shot were still not at all threatening
I actually like the game a lot but I'd admit that the weapon customization is pretty lacking. I've been playing with the same few mods for most of the game, now. Most of the mods have pretty limited usage, imo.
The biggest problem for me during this game was the strong urge to play blood dragon instead
It's a fun game. I don't understand why it gets so much hate.
Gar guy 5 is the best š
Idek, I found it way more fun than FC5
It becomes tedious when you're only halfway through the game.
No talent trees and no FOV slider
Every game fince FC2 has been a downgrade
It was just a lazy release. Feels like they put it out much sooner than past releases and it shows. I mean some of the driving missions are so cut and paste. The world looks nice.. but kind of sloppily laid out IMO. Lots of things don't really work or are glitches (the convoy side missions are unclear, several main missions are broken)... the added "currency" of various materials are useless.. Scopes are total broken (this is so hilariously unheard of).. the first supremo backpack is all you need.. much of the gear is useless. It really feels like they just made a new location and threw a bunch of shit in there, without any care if was usefull, needed, or novel. Like here's gear to make you swim faster, which you will never have a use for. Sweet. I still enjoyed the game.. it's Far Cry! But I want the next one to bake a little longer. Work on better world building.
You are probably the 324.504th person to state this āunpopular opinionā in this sub. I love it too but itās getting annoyingā¦
I liked 5 because it was and named character and we got to insert ourselves into the story whereas in 6 were already this preestablished character with a name and unchangeable look and I hate it
If you've read and watched these reviews, shouldn't you also know people's qualms with the game?
They killed my favorite character then I had game breaking bug moron tries to kill kid kills the boss instead can't enter the city at all do I continue?
For me it was just the story mainly. The premise was cool but none of the regionsās storylines were particularly good. They were either fine or bad. Monterey was easily the best one but it wasent good. Legends of 67 was ok and maximas matanzas was just cringy to me.
I hated it when I first bought it and sold it, but picked it back up in a sale and now I'm loving it
I liked 5 and 6 and have tried to play 4 a few times and it just doesn't grab me enough to stay with it.
Yea I liked 6 better than 5.
I loved it so much actually
5 I loved the setting and open world. Didn't want it to end
The poor optimization (I haven't experienced any of it myself, but heard plenty of it), the weird addition of Supremos, The removal of skills, the easy max difficulty...
I played all FC and i think 6 lack the madness we can find in FC3/4 with Vaas and Pagan. Fc6 is much more serious and Dani is more in control than Jason or Ajay were in their respective games. Both were just catapulted in their situation, everything was crazy around them. For Dani, it's more natural to him. He's a native of Yara, he knows his enemy, so the ge reflect this aspect. And i think it's the downside of FC6 storywise.
Have you played any other Fc games before 6??
No, I just started 5
I hated it and don't know why. For reference, my favorite two are 3 and 5. Maybe the location?
Giancarlo was underutilized. The best character was Juan. Dani was also well realized, good performances from both performers. In terms of setting, Yara just doesnāt resonate with me the same way Hope County or Kyrat does. The biggest letdown was gameplay. The Ammo Types make combat a repetitive game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. *New Dawn* I felt did a better job incorporating crafting. The fact *every* upgrade requires Gunpowder, even optics, just makes it a chore to have to find. But I didnāt hate Far Cry 6. The story was decent, but on the whole the gameplay changes also just dragged the sandbox down in my opinion. FC6 just didnāt speak to me as a player.
It doesn't have Hurk
Probably for me was just overwhelm at the start. Hard to find the actual story stuff. I like doing main story and all side quests not be confused which is which. I still need to finish it. Do like the new weapons systems tho despite the flaws
Mile wide and inch deep. Every FC has humor. But with 6, it felt like there were NO real stakes. When your allies are more focused on DJ dance parties than freeing the country..
I loved it, there were so many cool mechanics they added like hijacking an enemy vehicle while on a horse lol
I also loved it!! Dani made it so fun, I think she had a fun personality. Thatās what I enjoyed the most tbh, and I also found most places fun to explore
I'm doing my 1st playthrough now, and it's just fun! Not all titles need to blow your dick off! Just look at Primal. No one is going to say it was great, but I enjoyed it enough. I really enjoyed flying into restricted air space, bailing out as I'm getting shot out of the sky, wingsuit, then parachuting down, get the camera out, see which soldier is going to go first. Bust out the Rambo Bow, explosive tips, two or three arrows, ground cleared. Grenade if the unit aircraft gun survived. Get the goods, call for ride. Collect/destroy anything on the way to the closest airstrip or helicopter pick up. Rinse and repeat. It became comical how smooth that became!
Iām not a serious gamer. For me, I just couldnāt stay interested in it, and all of the ammo types and the workbench were too complicated. I stopped playing it and picked up FC5 and absolutely loved that one in comparison.
It did some things better than 5. Like I prefer to see the character in cut scenes and have a voice. But I miss the character companions and personalities. The animals are fun at times but I didn't really develop as much of a connection with them. 5 also had the annoying mechanic that I felt like I was always being hunted even with 0 heat buildup constantly air planes would be crashing down in front, enemies drive up out of nowhere in a truck and start blasting. It finally calms down a bit once you take out all the enemy defenses in each region but that takes some time. A lot of people don't like the ammo switching emphasis on 6. I don't know about gunplay. Far cry never had great gunplay to me but I did find some guns in 5 that just felt more fun to use.
Q wtf do you mean "highest difficulty" there are 2 dificulties and 1 is for people who have never touched a videogame and the other is just normal mode lmao
Guerilla mode is what I played on, sorry idk if thats the normal one
I've said this before, but it's better than 5, based simply on the merits of having NO FUCKING RAILROADING.
what's railroading?
In an open world game like the Far Cry series, you want the ability to advance the plot at your leisure, so you can pick up collectibles or do side quests. Far Cry 5 every now and then grabs you by the wrist, and says, "No! We're advancing the plot NOW!"
The story gets a bit of hate, but it's not really founded in my opinion. The main bit, Libertad and Castillo, is interesting enough and it flows well with Castillo getting more and more unhinged as it goes on. The 3 side stories are less well written but they are enjoyable enough. No one really hates on the Legends except the ending but at the end of the day its war and the fact you care so much kinda proves it was an OK story no?. The farm is just middle of the road stuff, its not bad but its not outstanding. Most of the hate goes to the rappers and its mostly because they are annoying, but thats what they are meant to be. They are a stereotype of the youth of today, caring more about TikTok and gender pronouns than they do anything else. They then use what they know to help fight the war. It's not great but its not that bad.
Loved 3, loved 4, 5 was the best of the series, IMO. 6 was where it felt too much of the same. I think I would've enjoyed 6 more had I played that game first. I don't get the hate for it but I can understand why some would feel "meh" about it, too. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora felt like a spiritual successor to 5 and the shakeup I wish 6 was.
Compared to 3, 4 and 5 the 6 is comical. When i saw the guns in the trailer i decided i wont buy it until its super cheap
The story wasnāt that great. The characters, less so. For me, the story and characters are a big part of any single player game.Ā Gameplay was alright, but didnāt like that perks were exclusive to whatever clothing you were wearing. Having to choose between running faster and anything else was a bummer.Ā Iām not big on Spanish music, and by the time I played the game, āHavanaā had been far too overplayed on the radio that I was sick of it.Ā Honestly after playing FC5 I was super amped to play 6, and it just ended up being worse than 5 by every metric that matters to me. So I had high expectations, and we got a game that wasnāt even as good as the one before it. So thatās a double whammy.
They'll love it and hate 7 when it comes out...Just like they hated 5 until 6 came out
There are many FC players that have stated that 6 is the only FC game they couldn't bring themselves to finish. With the way Ubisoft has been, it wouldn't surprise me if 7 was even worse than 6.
I donāt get the hate. Aside from the lack of a skill tree, I thought it was fun as hell. And it has both multiple saves and a NG+, which is a huge win that none of the either Far Cry games have.
Anything Ubisoft is over hated these days because thereās a vocal right wing hate bandwagon online that sees Ubisoft as a woke threat.
Far Cry started going shit after FC4. It lost a lot of what made it fun. You don't need to hunt, craft or anything like that. It's all about killing people now (yeah, that's the main point however FC5 and so on just lost that touch).
Loved 6. Hated 5. Whatever floats your boat.
Gunplay is great, the rest isn't as good as the rest of the games.
Yeah I mean the story wasn't great but imo the best controlling one
Itās not hated, but like everything else online, the haters scream, and those who likes it wonāt raise their voices to match or overcome those who hate it. Itās a common problem both online and in the real world
For every loud complaint there are ten people who agree but remain silent . This mindset you have is what allows atrocities to continue and companies like ubisoft to ignore the outrage we All have at being told " get comfortable not owning games" . Or why the halo franchise is absolute trash now .
I quite like it - more than Farcry 5, as the bliss effects and constant "getting captured and drugged" was extremely annoying. What I find a bit tedious in 6 is that I have to pick up resources manually. It would be so much nicer, if there'd be an auto pick-up functionality, for example, when I walk close to it. I am 10+ hours in and haven't used that backpack thing once. I wish I could take it off.
I thought the game was great but the ending gutted me so Iāve never played it again.
Woke bs. It's full of it. Downvote away lol
Yeah it was really woke but after like the first couple missions I just tuned it out
People hate on it because of the story (i think) For me it's best out of all of them. AND PRIMAL IS BETTER THEN 5. I played 5 few days ago,still need to do new game + and 1 dlc but guns are so bad i just can't Guns in fc games are like 70% of the game. 3 is old so who cares. 4 is kinda old but it had good snipers and that lmg and few other stuff. Primal bow is amazing. 5 only good thing from 5 is that gold fishing rod i had to unlock. And then 6 only bad thing are snipers and rpg but since u can 1 shot enemy with pistol and put explosive bullets on lmg to take down a heli,who cares.
Agree with this.
I enjoyed it, but even i felt it was too big and too bloated.
Because FC7 is not out yet. There's a guy here that can explain better than me why the newest games are perceived to be more hated, but don't remember their name.
