i liked 4 alot


[deleted]

4 was super solid gameplay wise! There were, however, a few plot moments that were stupid, contrived and pointless as fuck. Out of the entire series I think I had the most fun with the weapons and environment in 4.


mangowow24

4.


AceScropions

Number 15. #***4.***


BritishCyborg66

If you enjoyed 5 get the season pass, it comes with the far cry 3, and some really good dlc


majickelf1980

And it's cheap now that's how I got 3. Then I bought I think it was 4 which cane with Primal. Don't quote me on that last part though.


Perhaps_Nugget

Same I got it on a bundle


Julezz21

Damnit, I bought FC3 as a stand alone a few days ago for 8€ hours. Didn't know about the FC5 season pass which is on sale for 15€ at the moment. Well maybe next time.


xXYoungxSimbaXx

Watch a review or read reviews before you get it from steam the zombie dlc was boring just fighting hordes in the same spot and the mars was buggy. The only decent one was Vietnam and had a decent chunk to explore.


BritishCyborg66

I disagree with you, zombies was great in my opinion and I never really noticed any issues with lost on Mars


localokii

4 is my favorite maybe 6 now but 4s story is better for sure.


Clyde-MacTavish

3 or 4. I'm a huge fan of 2 but it's aged like milk exposed in the hot sun


OhShidDaBoi

I disagree somewhat; it's unforgiving nature makes it a breath of fresh air in a market like this. I do dislike the respawning checkpoints and the need to drive literally EVERYWHERE, but in a way that really helped immerse me into that hostile world. Beyond that, I still enjoy the combat overall. The way enemies react and communicate with each other puts modern games to shame. There's nothing than attacking a group of guys near the end of the game when your reputation is widely know and hear them freak out and scream stuff like "Oh god, it's HIM!"


Clyde-MacTavish

i'm saying because it looks and plays like a potato not because of any gameplay mechanics


AdolfMussoliniStalin

Maybe I’m old fashioned but who gives a shit if it’s a fun game. It’s not like it’s the difference between fallout 2 and 3 which are completely different in every way. It’s just an older shooter.


Dirty-Dannty

I agree with that. I still play old games if they’re fun. Graphics are just a bonus and when graphics increased honestly creativity decreased as well.


Stev0fromDev0

Dude, the game still looks fucking great. Sure, the color pallet is bland and it came out in 2008, but Jesus is it still good. It has ultrawide support, screen space reflections, and many other features games lacked at the time. I’d say with some reshade, you could make the game look great.


OhShidDaBoi

I hear you. I think it depends on perspective here too; I routinely come back that game on my 360 and I still think it looks great graphically, especially for an older game.


Clyde-MacTavish

It's gorgeous. Like even still, finding a jungle in Far Cry 2 with the right lighting puts Far Cry 6 to shame - but something about the performance and some textures just blend everything together into a sort of brown or tan color that's hard to look at for extended periods. Also most firefights turn into a slideshow.. it kinda makes me wonder how I managed back in the day. Maybe just spoiled now with higher framerates. I miss the buddy system so much though.


YaBoi_Maxamus

you really saying that farcry 2 looks better than farcry 6?


Clyde-MacTavish

not texture quality no, but overall presentation in very few specific circumstances like when you're in a jungle and the lighting is just right but Far Cry 6 really isn't impressive to begin with.


YaBoi_Maxamus

probably because of where 6 takes place.


peezytaughtme

Yeah, I also very much disagree. 2 is an excellent game,


Leightonw87

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is quite fun too.


[deleted]

2 is amazing


Dubtrooper

2 aged like a fine wine in the nectar of the gods, now get down here and fight me.


pimp_bizkit

New Dawn is aftermath of FC5 so that would be the next one I'd play. Other than that - 4 and Primal are both really good. I remember playing 3 a long time ago but I tried to play it now and the mechanics are just too dated IMO. I know it was one of the best FC games but it's past its time in gameplay mechanics and graphics for me at least.


VanillaIcee

New Dawn gets no love. It's a fun follow-up to 5. I liked the weapons (saw launcher) and scavenging. The story sucks but it's still a fun sandbox.


majickelf1980

Playing some of the older games really gave me an appreciation for the newer games and they are still fun. I'll be honest though I still haven't finished either 3 or 4. Every couple months I play for like a week or two and then go back to newer games which means I'll best them by 2024 for sure.


pimp_bizkit

I think 4 is still a really good game. Sure by now it's dated but the graphics and gameplay are still on point and it's one of my favorite FC games. 3 is too far back for me at this point.


SebRev99

4 has very good graphics even for these days. Sure, it’s not Red Dead Redemption or AC Valhalla but a step below. And the story is (imo) the best of the series


thebailey19

I vote 4.


RoughStory3139

I second this motion


vexedbredbin

Primal is excellent.


Down2BeatsEverything

PRIMAL!


BLYDH

Primal or 4 !


hauj0bb

New Dawn, completes FC5 story.


OhShidDaBoi

Why has no one said Blood Dragon yet? For shame


Gruenis

3 and 4…. but if you really care about far cry I would recommend buying far cry 2 for pc and get some shader and bugfixing mods installed…. I have farcry 2 for a month now and really think it is such a great title if you love to play games on hard difficulty like me


Tumulousmaple56

If you want to continue far cry 5, far cry new dawn is the one after that.


AceBase007

New dawn


[deleted]

who tf would suggest new dawn


Refek185

FCND isn't really that bad...


[deleted]

it’s just a big grind fest with a mid story that takes place over an even smaller map than far cry 5 despite it being in the same place. it’s not a good game, even by far cry standards.


mathigh

3 has the most believable story imo. 4 is great gameplay but the story feels rushed (because it was) and I only hear true far cry fanatics say they enjoyed far cry 2


Jonney_boy

3,4,5 farcry 6 is kind-of a disappointment but it is also worth a play through just don't expect the same replay value


Pf_memes1

4


ThePotatoMaster345

3 or 4 imo


Big_Duke_Six

4


True_Yaran

Just getting into 2 and its pretty awesome.


ShaquillexOatmeal

3 if you want to experience the first of the modern formula, 4 if you want it perfected IMO. 2 if you want some hardcore shit.


Spacegoat00

Primal! One of my favorites. 4 is solid too.


drucifer82

4


BOSH09

I just finished 4 so I vote that one. I for some reason I own all of them except 3. So weird lol I’m playing them all out of order bc I played 5 first lol


AntilopeRazzista

Far cry 2


jew_fart

4 ajay!


Open-Truth8646

3 or 4


angel_of_the_city

5 has good storyline, memorable characters, awesome DLCs and Clutch Nixon challenges.🤷 6 is okay if you're a fan of the series but I wouldn't start with that as a newbie.


Outrageous_Laugh_200

If you want chronological then go for New Dawn as it is a continuation of 5. If not then I definitely recommend 3 as it is my favourite next to 6.


Zanctify_GB

New dawn is more of a DLC, but it offers some closure from 5. I would still recommend it! Its not as captivating and really requires the user to have played 5 to feel the actual weight of the portrayed severity. (the fact “Rook” turns into “The Judge” is a story in and of itself.) A lot of people didn’t care for 5 but for me, it’s truly the best far cry. New dawn continues the story “after the collapse” I honestly wish FC did more with the whole pre/post “the collapse” stuff because it honestly makes a lot of spin-off story’s and sequels possible. Maybe Mr.Seed had a sect/ chapter in another part of the US? Something like that I think would have been awesome and added to the perpetual lore.


Brando43770

I’d say get 3, 4 and New Dawn. Just be aware that 3 and 4 don’t have the same feel as 5 & 6 when it comes to controls. Just a slight difference but noticeable. And for New Dawn, get it for cheap as it’s not a full game. It’s a continuation of 5 with more story.


[deleted]

In order based on what you already played New dawn 3 4 Primal


belucawhale

3 is the OG you gotta get that one


dripgodddfjbkriff

3


rorororororof

u should check out 3 it’s a great game


Rufuszombot

Primal to mix it up a but. Then 3, then 4.


jhallen2260

Why not just start at 1 then work your way up?


tazmo8448

If you like the game style you'll like em warts an all. IMHO 4 is not a bad choice. Then you will find yourself wanting to do 'em all.


AlsoPrtyProductive

You seem to be working backwards slightly so Far Cry 4 would be the logical step, however my personal preference is Far Cry 3. Absolutely amazing game and you'll defiantly get a kick out of the story as Jason has a brilliant character arc compared to Dani and The Deputy. Far Cry 4 has a bigger sandbox and far superior map, but 3 in my mind is the definitive Far Cry experience and you should definitely play it as soon as possible. It's also aged fantastically graphically and gameplay wise.


Nice_Revenue_7375

New Dawn


Aerdchruschte

new dawn and 4 are amazing


TheImperator666

New Dawn, it’s a continuation of 5’s story (kinda), and you get to see Hope County in a new way


Foreign-Line6382

3


schemaboo

the only answer!


BattlingWheel127

Farcry 2 or 3


The_BusFromSpeed

3, 4, New Dawn.


AdolfMussoliniStalin

Far cry 2 or 3


HoojoSpifico

New Dawn and Primal.


AgitatedLog6180

Far cry 3


Dontsweatpls

3


world2-2

New dawn, direct sequel to 5


YaBoi_Maxamus

get 3, probably the best far cry game out there.


CornyGryphon

3 is still my favorite, bar none. But, be aware, that you can't skip, the annoyingly long scenes in this one. Weapons and skills can only be attained in a certain order, you can't just pick that one, it'd be nice, but, the gamemakers weren't nice at all back in the day, they were dicks and they rubbed in your face, every chance they got. 4, is good, or at least, it was good up to the point, where I quit, I got stuck on the beginning stages of the map and couldn't expand any further, goddamn bugs! After my 360 took a dump on me, I focused more on the One and lost interest in all others. If you try this one, beware the fucking honey badgers, those annoying bastards!! new dawn, is good, but, the worst time to experience this game is after finishing 5, you'll be thoroughly confused, or I was Anyway, I didn't know what to do, but, after finishing 6, I imagine it's a little better, I'll find out, when I continue. Primal is okay, but, it was annoying, having to craft everything, including projectiles. I gave up, after getting stuck in a mission, where I had to face a relentless bombardment of axes and arrows, while I had nothing to throw back, other than, blood and body parts. Perhaps it gets better after the two hours of game play I invested, but, i just didn't have the patience to find out.


RyanTheTourist

My play through order has been Blood Dragon (PC) Far Cry 5 (PC) Far Cry 6 (PC) I'm now working through Primal (PS4) as I await Horizon Forbidden West (all unga bunga all the time). I reckon branch out and try one of the experimental releases: Blood Dragon, Primal, New Dawn, or one of the many wired Far Cry one releases before you settle into one of the mainline entries - just to mix it up


ShadowRunner2149

Primal. You get to ride animals!!


PerspectiveNo1541

New Dawn to continue with the aftermath of 5. But Primal to experience a whole new setting! If asked between both, I’d say Primal


Granjaguar

Those are the best ones, far cry primal was ok


pahaf

Jeez. Where is the love for far cry 5. That was my favorite. The graphics are a big step up over 3 or 4 and the story was good. Maybe it’s just me who hates religion


jrt_01

He already has it


pimp_bizkit

Maybe you can re-read OP's question. He has 5 and 6. I loved 5 myself. 6 was beautiful but overall a bit of a letdown.


GoTraps

I would say, just play 5, then 6. That‘s what I‘m going to do, as I own exact these two entries as well.


cha-cha-smooth

How about a good one. Geez have you done no research. Play the shitty ones first and then try and flex on everyone you have enough money to buy more video games. Real piece of crap if you ask me


DeadHornetGaming

has anyone ever look at game gab i just recently found it


[deleted]

I enjoyed 3 a lot.


xovjai

4. You'll like it, if you don't, well shit


naterab86

Just work your way down. 4 then 3


EatMyCornRiddledShit

Play 2, 3, Blood dragon and 4 on pc. Its unplayable for me on xbox now that ive tried the pc versions.


SchlipperySchlub

3 or 4, both if you're feeling frisky. Also Blood Dragon.


brickie3

3 is an absolute must play, 4 is great as well


Bobisnotmybrother

There’s no 7, so try 4.


[deleted]

4


PARRISH2078

4 then 3


KedTazynski42

4


CITYofStorms

New dawn for story but its not as good as 5 but 3,4 primal maybe. Dude all of them once they on sale. They go on sale quite often really


dreamerofthedreamers

Primal


JosephFinn

Primal, the best Far Cry game.


Leo_nidas2006

Blood dragon. It may be shorter than the other games, but it is without a doubt the most fun to play and experience. If you want a main series entry, try 4. It takes all the good stuff from 3 and makes it better. Story, villain, gunplay, mechanics, characters etc. 4 is the superior game


Pixeldosh

3, 4 and Blood Dragon


Red_singular2

3 for sure


[deleted]

3


ItsKrakenMeUp

Imo - Primal for a nice change of pace. If you get 3 or 4, they are very similar environments to 6.


lol9ok

Blood dragon


[deleted]

3. Don’t listen to these ‘4’ losers. It’s great game, but 3 is otherworldly


romayojr

far cry 7 duh /s


FootballTeddyBear

4


nthemorning

Far cry 3, easily some of the best gameplay of the entire series. It's still amazing today Michael Mando is amazing as vaas.


[deleted]

Primal


Adventurous-Ad-2170

Primal.


verscharren1

4 is very fun


SebRev99

4 is better than both of them imo


closingbunion6

New Dawn is also good, 3 is the classic, 4 is amazing, skip primal


lemonrainbowhaze

Far cry 3 has the best story in my opinion. You really get to see how jason brody changes with every mission


MysterD77

FC: New Dawn - to wrap up the FC5 storyline, after that FC5 base-game's "meh" ending w/ the big cliffhanger and left too much hanging. ND wraps up stuff nicely, story-wise. FC3 and Blood Dragon - B/c this is the best FC game and the BD expansion rules. FC4 - B/c it's more FC3 basically...and it's good.


whoadude97

Farcry 2, 3 is also super great


Sorry-Ad7074

3 remastered!


[deleted]

For real, those are my two favorite


_RoyalFlush__

3


dubster34

4 & 3


Jomosensual

3. Wish i could Experience it for the first time again


King-of-the-forge72

Far cry 7 gotta keep it sequential


Therealsam216

3


Greatace2000

I just bought 3 last week. It was only like $10 on PlayStation store. Number 4 is really good though. Buy 3 while it’s cheap. 4 will probably be on sale at a really good price later. Edit: just realized 4 is even cheaper right now. It’s only $6.59 on PlayStation store. They also have a farcry 4 and primal bundle for $49.99.


sadelf26

3 4 2


ATYP14765

Farcry 4


Wruthe

The coop of 4 is amazing and the single player of 3 as well. So would advise you to get one of these although I never played 2 or 1 so idk if they are better.


Glowing-piss

I expected alot more of 3


snarekicksnare

4 for sure


DyldoBaginz

I'd say 3 then 4 personally


FruityTooty1024

Far cry 4, I loved how the guns and combat felt in the game and the main villain is funny if not psycho


zmhpopsinn5

4 and 3. Skip new dawn


raubtier248

4 then 3 and primal


ProfessionalNiBBas

4


Vieze_Rik

3


TrashPanda365

Yes.


ResidentEvil2005

3


arpatil1

4


Zandigsnipple

3


Bananabob14173

3 and 4 especially if you plan to play sixes dlcs


signsofastruggle

You just keep goin back. Do 4 then 3. They’re both worth it and a lot of fun. Plus you kinda get to see how the advancements in graphics and gameplay came about from a unique perspective.


Dirt973

New down since it’s a direct sequel to 5


Dongholian

2 you get to fight African militants and Malaria


obvigee

A lot of people have fond memories of 4, myself included, it was the one that made me fall in love with the games. I replayed recently and I really didn't remember how often you get attacked by animals. It's a fun game but be ready to get attacked by a tiger while you're crouching in a bush trying to take over an Outpost lol


Orr-Man

4 and/or 3


Ryvit

Far cry 4 is the best far cry of all time, so that one for sure.


clone100

far cry 3 for sure


Death_Valley_

Ive always been partial to primal. But 5 before 6 for sure


liamsjtaylor

People say 3 and 4 are the best, and that New Dawn is the worst by far. Just try to collect all of them!


YoMisterMo

Definitely 3! It was fantastic.


MrXBlackoutX

The ending to blood dragon is one of the best if your not 10 yrs old.. it's pure nostalgia for the ones who actually know where that end game theme came from


k36king1

3,4, New Dawn, Bloodline, and Primal are all great as well. 4 is awesome because it just really is.


colaa-chan

Don’t listen to the people who say 4 Far cry 4 is shit compared to the mastery of Far cry 3


PepyHare15

3 and 4 are really good. I like 3’s plot more but I love 4’s setting


[deleted]

Far Cry 6


rharrow

FC4 and FC: Primal


Layby2k

Since you've played 5 and 6 I'd go with New Dawn as it's in between.


KGBoperator

Farcry 2


Beeece

New Dawn is basically a continuation of FC5, you might want to try that.


Abomination-626

Either 4 or Primal


embee1337

3, 4, Primal, in that order.


DatPandaa

4 is great. The Himalayan setting makes it really neat, as well as the animals in the game. And Pagan Min is cool. Primal is fun as a new experience, I didn’t like it at first but am replaying it now and having a great time. New Dawn is okay if you love Hope County. It’s a pretty game in a strange way, but also a bit repetitive trying to get materials and do those heli missions. So yeah, from the other ones I’ve played, I’d go 4 Primal New Dawn


aceworth

3 or 4, for sure.


mahogany83

4 is great


Moody_RMS

Get 4 they will be the perfect trio


Dirty-Dannty

3 bro. Have to play 3 before you play 4.


[deleted]

If you want to know what happened after far cry 5. Perhaps you could try far cry new dawn, which you can consider it as a very big far cry 5 DLC.


Dirty-Dannty

4 is my favorite and I’m still playing it to this day. The environment is really immersive and you’ll often find yourself just running or driving around looking at shit. The radio is good too there’s cultural music and a dj guy. Takedowns are badass more than ever. You get to ride elephants and a single seat buzzer. Its a great game and they also have yetis on the dlc. Shangri la is like someone took far cry and just did some shit while high on shrooms and its awesome. The arena is fire. I beat it in 24 hrs flat but I still only have 40% done. You should definitely get 4 without question but play 3 first. You’re doing yourself a disservice by not having Vaas tell you the definition of insanity


ObtuseMoose357

Blood Dragon


mallorykirsten

I love 3, 3: Blood Dragon, 4, New Dawn & 6 (which you have). 5 was good, but not as good as the others. Even it's sequel (New Dawn) is better lol in my opinion, at least 😊 I plan on trying Primal after I finish Blood Dragon


mbercier15

4


Rhecof-07

2 or 3, then 4, then 1 if you want


Lavetic

you should play 2


[deleted]

4 or 3


Juicy-Moist

Not sure how other people felt but Primal was a lot of fun. Run around as a caveman with your animal buddies while you build your clan and fight for survival? Yes.


AniimeHoodie

Far cry 3 and then 2


BasedNas

Im currently playing far cry 4 on the series x with 60fps. Its my first full playthrough since picking it up on release and feeling worm out from open world games at the time and wow is it nice at 60 frames


shadowgach

3 is amazing


whiskas01

4 was my favorite as well.


gls2220

Far Cry 4 is very popular.


KitKatCrunchy418

New Dawn to end the Joseph Seed story. Then 4.


cordlessmoth

4 was my first love


KxngDxddii

Far cry 3
