*Additional Review Writeup:* -Time to beat main story: ~15-20 hours -Average FPS: 125 -Captured on: PC - Ryzen 5950x, RTX 3090, 1440p, Max Settings -Video rendered at 4k (upscaled from 2k - seems to give the best overall image) -You can disable enemy health bars & all HUD elements for a more immersive experience -Much of the marketing for this game was centered around the crazy weapons you can get (they are called Resolvers). Nail guns, rocket launchers that shoot firecrackers, a gun that shoots CD's, etc. They are pretty fun, I'll admit... but some of them are too gimmick to the point where you'd rather just use the standard guns instead honestly. -The game does not feature any sort of character perks, skill trees or RPG leveling systems. You simply level up and the game does so along with you (I explained this in the video). I’m fine without perks or skill trees, as this is primarily a sandbox action FPS game. -Mission variety is low and inconsistent. Typically, you accept a mission, drive to the location it wants you to be, and do one of 6 things: infiltrate the base, defend the base, steal something from the base, blow something up at the base, find something at the base, or rescue something at the base. There’s nothing beyond this, which is disappointing. -There is no manual save system, which isn’t anything new to the franchise but comes with the same frustrations. Getting nearly all the way through a mission and dying can be painful as the game will often send you back to where you picked up the mission. Woulda’ been nice if the game spawned you back at the mission location at least, as travel times can be fairly long in this game if you don’t happen to have an aircraft available to you. Ugh. -While movement animations are slick and great, climbing isn’t terribly well integrated. You’ll often try and jump up things like boxes or fences and won’t be able to, even though you really should. The climb up mechanic doesn’t give you enough leeway in my opinion. -The grapple rope is nice to have, but very situational. You won’t be using it much outside the odd moment you’re climbing a building. There is one mission on a ship where you can use it to fly across the water, which is cool, but it’s fairly gimmicky and circumstantial. -Dani is serious, the characters you meet are goofy, and Anton is psychotic - I touched on the dissonance a little bit in the video but it can’t be overstated. The mixture is just off - the game needs to stick to a tonal theme and run with it. -Mechanically speaking, the game is very very good. Several subtle mechanics exist for the player to discover, like chaining bunny hops with slides/wingsuit jumps or shooting enemies in the feet to open up a free machete kill. I highly enjoyed the gameplay in Far Cry 6 more than any other game in the franchise because it simply feels great and next-gen. -Your character enters 3rd person mode when in friendly camps, which is odd but I guess makes sense because the game needs to show off how you look since there’s plenty of cosmetic/armor customization. -Speaking of armor loadouts, I don’t necessarily think the game needs them. They are tied to bonuses like fire protection, bullet protection, etc. I would have rather seen them as straight upgrades, because when you have a pair of gloves that “increases run speed when your weapons are holstered” it creates a system where you’re always going to swap to these when encounters are over. This makes disturbances in the gameplay flow since that involves going into the arsenal menu to equip them. So, not a big fan of the system in this capacity. -Overall, I enjoyed the game despite its glaring flaws (uninteresting/one dimensional characters and villains, bad writing, homogenization of gameplay sequences in that story, lack of substantial side content relating to characters, etc). I don’t like open world games for the most part (there are exceptions when the quality is there), but I really do think Far Cry games are good, dumb fun. I mean that in the best of ways from a gameplay perspective. Just don’t take it very seriously. -The post-launch roadmap looks very good, with lots of content and spin off stuff similar to what’s been done in the past. Thanks, if you enjoyed the video feel free to thumbs it up! Tone
@@jamesc4183they’ve failed miserably in the terms of making the same game 4times… bigdaddy vass was insanity!!!! ...”What's the most you've ever lost on a coin toss?”
Once they add limb dismemberment I'll feel more excited for these, they're already over the top so being able to actually do physical damage to enemies would make the combat it feel way more satisfying
I think it’s still a fun game and far cry hasn’t felt serious since 3 tbh. It’d be interesting to get a really serious like call of duty-esque game but it wouldn’t be as fun as the far cry formula to me personally at least. They could improve the side missions which they did but some get very repetitive after a while.
The gameplay is very good though. All the story may not be the best story ever written it is acceptable. If anything Far Cry reminds me of saints row and GTA combined
I know what I'm getting into when I buy a far cry game and it's just some good old fun. I could drive that flying car around for hours bouncing from the ground to the skies in glorious fashion.
@@Archonsx "something good" It's all relative. Some peoples "good" is buying a new FIFA, NBA, or MADDEN at full price every single year. Some peoples "good" is rewatching Friends or The Office for the 100th time over. I don't think FARCRY is the worst thing to happen to the gaming industry despite the utter distain it's receiving from gaming critics who've never really enjoyed FARCRY for what it was to begin with.
I believe it may be unceremonious. When you had to actually go for the lockers, each decision of weapons and attachments mattered. You made your kickass arsenal and played with the options you chose. Having all your guns avaible at the time leads you to think every gun is in your arsenal at all times. Which leads you to the tedious gun swapping for every situation. Part of choosing your guns is also choosing your playstyle. If the enemies are far away, and no sniper, you must close the distance. If all you have is long distance, then you must place yourself accordingly.
That was in 4, 5, and new dawn as well. They werent quite the same since you were just taking some mats back to a place or claiming what was in the back of the semi.
Fire mechanics were the best out of the series fire actually made an impact on the environment...... if only they expanded upon what they had in far cry 2
They need to take a 3-4 year break and release a huge innovative far cry game with a super immersive/interactive world and just really get the game on point.
There was a 4 year gap between FC4 to FC5 and a 3 year gap between FC5 to FC6. You can't expect ubishit to do anything right regardless of the amount of time you give them 😂
I hate that they scrapped human companions for making amigos the only companions you can take with you. Having some of the characters join you after having a series of side quests to build up their personalites like in the previous game, wouldve been amazing. Also, with the tonal dissonance, you had a great point. It's just weird because FC4 managed to pull off the goofy and quirky Ubisoft game while also having a charming villain.
Ubisoft games are hilarious to me. The most dispassionate, soulless, hollow.... yet technically competent....games out there. They feel like they're made by robots, for robots.
For real tho, Ubisoft is like the Olive Garden of the gaming industry, a soulless corporation, which dosn't make bad products, just extremely mediocre ones, which is (in my opinion) even worse than a bad product.
So from what I understand, it takes place in a country which has been cut off from the rest of the world for a long time, which explains why there is mostly old tech. But at the same time NPCs act like millenials who grew up with Twitter and memes.
It was stupid. For them to constantly bash going to America where there are so many exploits for people to come and get large loans, assistance programmes and the like was just disgusting. People can claim all they want that there is a disclaimer in the start up but to openly bash America specifically yet the area the game is set is fictional only pokes the finger in the eyes of America while it does everything it can with taxpayers dollars to put immigrants legal and illegal in what seems to be better situations than Americans them selves.
the "quirky, whacky characters" gave me watchdogs 2 flashbacks. WD2 had an absolutely beautiful map, the overall franchise premise, but the side characters are so unbearable I just couldn't move forward. Ubisoft seems to like this kind of writing for some reason. It's a shame, I really thought they'll make some major changes in FC6
i just bought it last month and stopped playing it after 4 hours for the same reason , the game seemed to goofy, especially after experiencing the serious and dark story of WD1
This is honestly the best FC6 review I have seen. Tonald went from a bad reviewer to a good one once he started to really care about his content and it shows. I couldn't find another review that actually explained the game this well.
As a Far Cry veteran since FC2, I’m only in the early days of the game, but I can already tell this game ranks low on my favorites list. I’m not a fan of there being practically zero wildlife diversity, which has been a staple to this franchise. And the biggest thing that has bugged me so far, has been the enemy AI respawning in areas you just cleared out 10 seconds prior. I’m having fun but not as much fun as the previous Far Cry’s. So far, Far Cry 4 still hasn’t been topped, as that game set the bar too high. Edit: finished the game. It’s definitely *not* better than 3, 4, or 5.
My buddy and I started bitching because of this when we co-oped. We cleared a little cabin near a beach and fought off respawning enemies for like 10 minutes just sitting there like, ‘wtf is this crap.’ Eventually we just left because we couldn’t kill everyone. FC 4 is still the best in my opinion as well. This one isn’t great so far.
As much as I love Far Cry 4, I have to admit, it is disappointing that this is the fifth time in a row this series has rolled out pretty much the same game they made back in 2012.
Thanks for saving me $100 man. I was so excited for this when I saw the trailer expecting a dark noir type of intense story-driven experience but looking at the gameplay and goofy cutscenes and the weird sci fi backpack and all this weirdness I'm just not into it, I was hoping for a modern version of FC3's vibe but this seems like FC5 just moved to the tropics
Watch some more reviews I honestly think if u enjoyed farcry 3 you’d enjoy this as a long time far cry fan I love this game it’s really fun and has the best looking world by a long shot
I 100% agree, I was really hoping for more of a story driven experience like FC3. Lack of cut scenes, character scripts/personalities, and physical animations is disappointing. The game is still fun but not exactly what I was hoping for especially with having an actual actor playing the main villain and the premise having such potential
Good call man. I dropped 60 bucks and I'm playing it right now and it sucks. Hoping to return it to GameStop for an exchange on Modern Warfare and Far Cry 4.
Got this game a couple years after it came out for a big discount. It’s definitely worth the $20 I paid for it. At first I think I liked it better than FC5, and probably still do. It’s beautiful, and the gameplay is smooth. The story is a bit all over the place though, and half the time I can’t tell if I’m doing a side mission or a main story one. My main beef is the ammo type thing though. If I hit someone in the head or torso with an armor piercing round from a .50 cal sniper rifle, they should go down, not just brush it off like a mosquito bite.
@@solbriller1 I agree (unironically). This video is the first time I've come back to a Downward Thrust upload in about 2 years. Before I clicked, I literally thought "has this guy got any better yet?" The first two-thirds of the video are very dry mechanical explanations of the functions in the game with little to no personality woven into those explanations. The last portion of this video discussing story are somewhat more opinionated and analytical. And *vastly* better for it. I honestly wonder if DT has a personality disorder sometimes. Not hating at all but the dry analysis just doesn't compel me to watch.
I don't get why people are getting mad with the game. I plays the game messing around,doing random stuff and causing havoc to relieve stress from life. It like when we're kids we played GTA san Andreas destroying city not knowing the story. Not sure nowadays why people keep focusing on storyline instead of pure sheer of fun.
Hell of a change since Far Cry 2. That'll always be my favourite. FC4 gets a bad rap sometimes but I enjoyed a lot of it. Especially the Shangri La parts. And the .700 Nitro.
@@rajansekhar3750 Well I first played it when it was brand new, so it was impressive and that's how I remember it. Had fun with FC3 but enjoyed certain aspects of FC2 a little more. The AI, combat and exploration was way better in my opinion. But I prefer more hardcore games. Also let's be real "incredibly repetitive" could describe almost any Far Cry game.
I was really hoping that with Giancarlo Esposito as the antagonist, we were finally going to get a character to rival Vaas Montenegro from Far Cry 3. Sounds like that isnt the case. Why you would get one of the most loved actors today and then not give them as much screen time as possible to do what they do so well, is beyond me. It sounds like the writing team didn't take this game too seriously either, which is really a shame. Giancarlo Esposito was the only reason I even payed attention to this game in the first place.
100%, i love giancarlo’s work as an actor so i was hoping to see some of that in this game. unfortunately while he was the best part of this game, he didn’t get much screen time or development from him like i wanted
Coulda just said "It's an Ubisoft game" and ended the review. The only really good things they release now is when it's a smaller more niche title. All their mainline games are just very okay. Watch Dogs 1 was definitely where they started to fall, and I loved that game.
im going to get flamed on this but the dude said he skipped cutscenes. I don't care how bad the story is if youre a reviewer it's literally your job to watch them. I don't plan on picking this but the complaints about tonality seemed nitpicky. The trailer had crocodiles in tracksuits and roosters killing people, it was always marketed as a goofy world outside the villain.
Every game implements RPG elements just so they can get extra money with packs to buy and microtransactions and all that Ubisoft should literally just stop making games unless they go back to the splinter cell days where they actually gave a f***
@@cody1016 Remember, not every game is made by fuckin Ubisoft and EA so not every game implements rpg elements so you can buy (insert dumb name for premium currency), play something that these people don't put out big brain.
This game has some interesting perks - like you might get a pistol that reloads all your weapons in your loadout when it is reloaded - a great time saver for the LMG's for example.
I wonder if this one will break the trend of mainline Far Cry endings pissing me off. It seems like they are in love with raining on the player's parade at the end for edgy boi points.
Far cry 3 and 4 lured me in with their villains just to bamboozle me with how underdeveloped they are and how samey the gameplay is. Haven't played primal and 5 and apparently I'm skipping this one. Thanks for saving me some money Tonald.
You can copy-paste this review for farcry 5. Loved the open world and gameplay...but story and characters were cringy underdeveloped trash. Pick up 5, and later 6, in a sale, and just don't have any hopes or pay any attention to the story and enjoy the gameplay! This way you will have a good time! The feeling of freedom and exploration is amazing!
Primal was the best imo, other than FC3 because of how unique it was at the time... But like you say its all "samey" it's the same thing over and over every single game... Primal added a twist to this which was enjoyable but as for the rest of the FC games, no thanks... I came here to see if anything was different and nothing has changed tbh.
best stealth build for far cry 6 be advised i am not spamming just want people to have a better exercise with the stealth build for outposts instead of well dying ruclips.net/video/ppAmBPwP8X4/видео.html
honestly my best example with tonal whiplash are the fangs for hire. you have a rather serious story and setting, and then you have a disabled dog as helper. what?
You can definitely use supremo more than once in a fight. There are mods that give you energy for it. My favorite so for is the LaVarita/Triador. It’s absolutely broken. (This is a secret armor, gun, and supremo you can unlock by doing treasure hunts)
Just Cry LGBT 6: The Battle to Make Yara Completely Gay. Not kidding. Literally most of the characters are gay or trans to include several drag queens. The only straight relationship I can think of was a woman who wanted her husband killed. He was an artist that tortured and used the bodies for his art. Turns out, she loved it and was only upset when she found out she was next to be his art. It's a very small side quest. I think there was another small side quest about a man seeking a woman he used to know but it was vague. It was so transparent, that when I walked through a camp, I saw a man and a woman dancing together. I was surprised that there was a straight relationship portrayal, but as I got close, he was talking about his boyfriend and she was talking about her wife. The fact that this reviewer doesn't mention that the game is 100 percent focused on gay rights (which the lead writer claimed) and that the vast majority of characters are gay (yes, most of them), completely destroying any realism in any way, shows this wasn't a brutally honest and very flawed review.
so in other words... the typical ubisoft game where Watch Dogs, Far Cry, and Assassins Creed are just different skins on the same base. So much for them hiring that new person with the specific purpose of making their games "feel new and different"
there's like so much new shit here, I don't get the hate. bullet types, the packs, stat gear, a city environment. People shit on ubisoft games for being too much like other ubisoft games but the fact is they make the most in depth open world games available, you can only improve that so much. Notice no one ever actually has suggestions for what they should add, it's just "iT fEeLs LiKe OtHeR uBiSoFt GaMeS" no shit, it's a ubisoft game, it doesn't mean it's a bad game.
@@deadsoulgaming7115 people are such assholes, and I came across a review this morning from a website that I’ve never heard of where the reviewer gave Far Cry 6 a 4/10 🙄and it was basically an entire review bitching about the game not being revolutionary. I’m so sick of people thinking for a game to be great that it has to be revolutionary, and frankly giving it a 4 is ridiculous.
@@Tacet137 that doesn’t matter lmao. Whether he likes it or not he is reviewing it. That’s like a reviewer skipping half of a show cuz they didn’t like it. If we do it it’s fine, but if ur job is to review games u shouldn’t.
This is a great review. You nailed it man. We love Far Cry games but at a certain point its important to step back and not allow yourself to take things too seriously. Definitely firing my copy up in a few though. Cheers!
Castillo was pretty nuanced in terms of his relationship with his son and reasons for why he was so cruel to Yarans. He wanted to build the country up and felt that using slaves and poison was the only way. He also wanted to make his son strong yet make sure he didn't suffer as he had. I personally love games that can balance humor with seriousness, you need the light in a game this dark. I didn't find that the silly times took away from the dark storyline, it added to the stakes and made me care. I actually cried at one point when a few characters died. Great review! Thanks for putting it together and giving me some food for thought. We both can agree that it was a lot of fun to blow things up though. :D Very cathartic. ;)
It seems like Far Cry 3 was an absolute fluke. Everything since that has just had a bad story or the entire setup just makes no sense "looking at you far cry 5"
@@strikerbowls791 the story doesn't make any sense SPOILERS!!!!!!!!! the cult kidnaps your character multiple times; but they never kill your character. If your character works for the state; why dont they ever call in backup? Why would 4 people try and arrest one guy; when the cult already took over the entire state? The guns are also really repetitive; no variety
Game Ranks “before you buy” series has been my go to channel to decide what games to get for a looooong time now. But now that I’ve found this channel, they just might slip further down in the ranking. Great video!
I JUST got the game in March 2023 for $15. I wasn't about preorder or pay full price. I am surprised... its not as "bad" as a lot of peoole claimed. I am having a good time. But I see why Far Cry fans were really put off by it. Its not at all like a Far Cry game. You are not a foriegner thrust into a conflict you have nothing to do with and are desperate to escape. You are fighting to defend your home willingly in an organized insurection. The villian is hardly aware of you specifically. The best part of Far Cry to me is that first third of the game where you are weak, have lame guns and have to always look over your shoulder, often running from encounters. Being able to holster your gun and blend in or travel on Guerilla trails makes it so you don't have to worry about every jeep that passes by. I was never afraid, they give you the best rifle and mod it for you right away. I had a tank before leavingnthe tutorial island. And you have all your guns on you at all times, and have all your holsters unlocked immediately. There is no getting caught in a firefight with your pants down with just a bow and shotgun. There is no skill tree, you gotta pick and choose your perks via gear. Its not like a Far Cry game. Its more like Ghost Recon Wildlands amd Assassins Creed had a baby and made Herk the Godfather. There are bits of every Ubisoft game in this one, and its stripped it of the Far Cry identity. I am surprised we dont have an eagle or drone for scouting and tagging. And its wacky. Far Cry has always been a perfect mix of serious and absurd. They leaned into the absurd, especially with the weapons. Its silly, very video-gamey. Immersion is difficult. And the story is awful and the charachters are stupid. Easily the worst Far Cry in that aspect. Its clear they made the story to fit with the game rather than the other way around. And the cringe, the cringe. Its like a slightly more believeable Just Cause game. All that being said... its really fun. JUST CAUSE is fun after all. The gameplay is what its about. Especially if you go for creative rather than efficient with your loadouts and tactics. Being able to holster your weapon allows for thorough scouting and opportunities to set up traps. The niche weapons and gear make for some interesting encounters. Its really fun. It's just not really Far Cry as we have known it. Its been homogenized into another stereotypical Ubisoft Open World game with bits from Assassins Creed, Ghost Recon, Watchdogs 2, The Division... Like I said, I am surprised we didnt get eagle vision or a drone. Its less a linear story and more a random collection of things to do. But I am mostly about gameplay when it comes to games I like or don't like. I do not require an oscar-worthy cinematic experience with interesting charachter arcs and a plot that invokes thoughtful reflection, so long as the game is fun. And in Guerilla mode, its really fun. I found Action Mode too easy. Knowing where enemies are and having X ray vision was too much help. I walk around with a gun out most times and rarely use the safe trails to encourage random encounters. And I just pretend I don't have all my guns on me all the time. Bam. Its Far Cry again. And I do like the repopulating enemies and the expanded end game stuff. There is always something to do. I like the game. Its fun. I am glad I didn't pay full price though. You really do have to make your own fun with this one though. Ubisoft gave us the sandbox and the toys to play in it with... but the game itself doesn't know what it is. Its more like they set out to improve Just Cause than progress Far Cry.
Wow, you're early on a review this time, Tonald! I'm pleasantly surprised 😀 Thanks for being honest. The game looks fun, and by now I'm no longer expecting much about story after Far Cry 5. I just want to play a fun open-world shooter 😅
So it honestly looks like a ps3 game? You're full of shhhhhhit and would have to be blind or slow af to Honestly say that. Honestly you're just looking for some likes.
@Evan Mann to constantly get you're pockets milked. It's why they released the current generation 3 years early and flood with remakes at launch. No ingenuity , ( cry me a river about processing and pixels , graphics aren't anything without storyline and functionality mixed ) no innovation , no next generation products. Cut scenes from last two previous generations are today's gaming graphics wise and that's not innovation. Sad times we live in. UbiSoft sucks and are crap peddlers , check The Division Two better check 21 Kiloton's reviews of that game. Never touch anything from that title or company again.
Glad to see you making a comeback, you need to make some reviews on the games coming out later this year. You provide a very detailed while being concise review that I can't find anywhere else on YT. Keep it up and I hope to see more soon.
I actually like this game a lot I spent all night playing it, couldn't put the controller down and I had work in the morning. if that doesn't say something about how much fun the game is. I don't know what does
@@miketexas4549 I will say the "tutorial" Island is pretty boring. After I have found it enjoyable and the story is pretty good but I have never played any far cry except for 5 and that was shocking.
@@noahhaynes1917 I found 5 to be superb. 3 is a damn masterpiece. For me, the name of the game is immersion. If I play for an extended period of time do I feel like I'm part of the game or not. In my opinion, the characters in Far Cry 6 completely ruin immersion with their corny dialogue, hints of wokeness, hoop earrings and skinny jeans. I thought this was supposed to be about fighting a revolution - it's game-breaking for me. I feel like I am participating in a stupid cartoon rather than enjoying a great game about defeating a ruthless dictator and regaining my freedom. Thankfully I was able to take Far Cry 6 back to GameStop and exchange it for two games that I've always wanted to play - Modern Warfare and Far Cry 4.
When I play FAR CRY games, I’m a handgun, shotgun, sniper rifle guy. It’s much tougher this way, you get right up close to the enemy. Sometimes I even prefer just picking them off one by one with my knife. Each to his own.
Without sounding redundant, we like far cry games because of the exact formula that they are built on. It’s like playing a great game of chess, you don’t all of a sudden flip the chessboard upside down and throw the game out after you’ve played it a few times if somebody could make it brand new looking but still keep chess at the score mechanic of the game. In saying this, I mean every single game that we play is the same in one fashion or another. There is always protagonist versus antagonist somebody gets almost killed and the boss doesn’t finish you off and you spend the whole game trying to get back to get them you either have a party of people or you’re completely solo do you have camps to take out or levels to complete that have a boss at the end of each level. They’re not reinventing the wheel here. They were giving us exactly what we have paid for at least six times already. And that’s the same as assassin‘s creed. People that enjoy stalking and assassinating people in the style of assassin‘s creed Will keep buying. And to hope that a company is going to change a winning formula that other people copy off of, it’s not only ridiculous it would be self-defeating for us as the players to wish this so. If people think that approaching a camp the way they want to either stealth or guns blazing and have the terrain and the enemy switched up all the time and have new stories but the same kind of combat is fun , then why fk w the flow? ( I know that was the worlds longest run-on sentence ) i’m just saying that people keep expecting other people to reinvent the wheel like dead space for instance. Did space one and two came out to awesome reviews oh it’s epic yada yada. Did space three they were pressured to change it up and everybody complained about dead space three. I happen to like it because I love dad‘s face and I like the whole idea of the universe that it’s in. But you see what happens when you take a formula and you slightly alter it is they put you to the cross and set you on fire. I got a far cry when it came out I’ve played every far cry there’s ever been and some of them are more unique than others. Primal, was probably one of my favorites ever and far cry three of course and far cry four. Lol. Far cry six is more of the same and that’s a good thing. You don’t buy Cheerios expecting to get frosted flakes or some mystery cereal. You buy Cheerios because you want friggin Cheerios
Exactly! This type of game play is why I play the Far Cry games. Arcade shooter with outrageous things. I loved Assassians Creed through Syndicate. Then they changed it to the shit it is now to appease people that didn't appreciate the games for what they were, and now they just feel like a sandbox God of War. I haven't played one since Syndicate.
@@thelastofusps4857 I played for five hours and had to turn it off. Zero immersion. Unrealistic, dumb characters with cringey dialog. Broken AI. Hints of wokeness. I absolutely loved 3 and 5, but 6 is GOD awful. I exchanged it under Gamestop's 48hr policy and traded it for Far Cry 4 and Modern Warfare, two games I've always wanted to play but never got around to. Couldn't be happier with my decision. I'm a couple of hours into FC4 and loving it. Ridiculous that all these years later Ubisoft can't/won't do better.
I hear you guys and yes it is alot of the same stuff but I liked those same things from the previous games. I will say this though, they definitely need to bring something new to the table in the next game cause I know by the end of this one its definitely going to be stale. Still, I'm enjoying it as of now. I really like the amigos in this one.
I agree with everything you said. My problem might be that i cant stop comparing the games with the 3rd.. I always end up hating ''amigo'' like features and as you say, over the top wacky characters. To me, its as its bestwhen you start from nothing, fight your way til the end like a lone-survivor type. In far cry 6, starting the game with the supremo, just ruined everything for me. But Hey, I'm all for developers trying to make their games better and up to date, but in this series, feels like they have more or less abandoned the series formula. Feels now more like your regular loot and shoot.. Idk, maybe its just me
I waited for this game with high hopes after seeing the gameplay and the trailers. And after playing farcry 3 and 4 I assumed they set the bar high and were gonna absolutely amaze me with this game. But when I finally began playing the game I couldn't help but feel that Far Cry 6 is just an uninspired game. Nothing feels unique and honestly is a step back for a franchise. For example, in Far Cry 4 you could travel across the map to hunt various animals that could help you upgrade gear like your wallet, weapon holster, and ammo bags. But in this game there's very minimal wildlife to start and even hunting feels pointless. Also the game begins to be incredibly annoying when enemies respawn in places that you have already cleared. So far I haven't noticed any characters that really stick out and feel memorable and important. I feel like Ubisoft has taken the lable "open world games" and just made them all nearly the same generic game. I hope in the future they can finally get the personality and inspiration they once had when they made the previous Far Cry games. If you disagree with anything I pointed out please let me know because I haven't finished the game but I plan on doing so. Thank you for reading my comment.
From the title I thought this would be a completely negative review, but it was actually so great and well made! Made alot of great points that are very hard to argue with. 👏
@@pole8740 Nope. Besides graphics , story and voice acting , it utilizes the same old Rockstar classic clunky ass shooting mechanics which were copied and pasted straight from GTA 5 , some people even found the .ini file in the PC version. So I know what I typed and that's not NUTS.
To be honest equipping Armour Piercing on most things works fine seemingly. Blast Ammo is good to making things go BOOM ! But the games have their quirks that is for sure. it's not quite as specific as New Dawn in making you do a certain thing - at lest Explosives are not broken from the outset like in New Dawn.
@@thelastofusps4857 I can certainly see how different things upset different people in different ways to different degrees. I for example was not at all happy the sheer insanity of the grind required to get Explosives up to decent usable power in New Dawn. I also would have really welcomed some additional expeditions released after the game launched - as considering the number of times they need to be replayed that a would be something you could consider a serious quality of life improvement. That said I don't play any Far Cry game for the plot (like at all) and so It takes a lot to upset me - the looter shooter stuff in this game and the removal of XP as a means to level up is a bit weird & I can see "gear clash" being a bit of an issue. But it's mostly "that's a bit weird" to me types stuff more than " I am offended/disappointed" type stuff. I can't say I appreciate them offering an end game gun the same week the game is released and the vast majority of players won't even have finished it yet - to get to that point they can claim the gun. That is a crappy thing to do that I can't honestly say I approve of. (It will be less bad if they offer the same gun again in another way mind)
I've been waiting for years now for FC to have some kind of a base-building element. Rather than simply capturing and destroying enemy bases/comms towers, I think it would be amazing to then rebuild/improve these bases. Could add an interesting new gameplay element which could easily be built into the overall story too.
I liked the base building elements of Fallout 4 and thought it was a good idea but needed more development; kind of similar to some aspects of Mine Craft. I would have liked to see this in FC.
I don't get this game. I have been playing for only like a couple of hours, but I can tell you the input delay is really bad. It takes like 3 seconds for you to crouch or do a takedown. Also, the story is just really mid. I don't know what this guy was talking about when he said Danni is a good character. You're better of playing Far Cry 3 or BloodDragon. What a waste of time and money. btw i played on ps4
I was dissapointed in FC5.. afraid to try this one 😅 For me it seems the further we go with FC games, the worse they get. First game was the actual masterpiece.
Was thinking of buying it but I remembered playing some of their past far cry games and assassins creeds its a long tedious grind of the same objective routines, one thing I hate the most and should not be in shooters is a health bar.
I actually quite enjoyed far cry 5. It was just the right amount of insanity and the story blended well with the setting even though it fell flat. This one though. It’s just cheesy and it’s just a bunch of fetch quests.
Ubisoft should just promote their staff to other dev studios, and go into advertising. Their creative side is so PC, safe, shallow and forgettable. It'd be perfect.
I'm in the early hours of far cry 6 but considering it's my first far cry game its awesome I love it so far definitely one of my favorite games of 2021
I would recommend u play the ogs like 3 and 4 before 6 as they just feel different yk😭 and if u wanna get stressed tf out and beat the sh* outta ur console then play farcry 2
Something nobody really seems to notice about the aim is that guards hit you either way no matter how you move if you get right in front of them when they shoot at your companions even to where you're in front of the barrel the guard will not be able to hit you and will only be able to hit your companion however when the guard is aiming at you no matter how you jump slide or turn you will be hit
The wacky tones really just portrayed Cuban culture imo. Being Cuban myself, I can't tell if this was done on purpose, but if so I am personally a fan of it. In all honesty, Im just glad my country is being portrayed in a good light, and getting proper representation. Great video! EDIT: I completely understand why the goofiness kills the game for some people, it is very distracting from what actually happening lol.
@@olivermateee547 100% I feel like most of the locations and interactions outside of alot of cutscenes dont feel cuban, some of the locarions do have that cou try side feel to it tho. The majority of course is dissapointing lol
@@cowbellee ye true I played through it because I thought everyone was gunna start partying on the streets and maybe some buildings would be fixed up etc... They've made a huge map for no reason because its boring lol
@@olivermateee547 True, tbh I just started playing the game two days ago, and yeah, a lot of the open world is boring asf, the Montero family is at least a somewhat accurate representation of cubans being incredibly stubborn and revolving around family.
@@cowbellee Honestly my most favorite character was the dictator (can't remember his name I'm tired lol) but I loved how brutal he is in certain scenes etc... I won't spoil it anyway but I'd say they made the enemy the best character in this one.

Can’t do it, I don’t care what level I am and what level the enemy is. A 5.56 through center mass on a guy in a T-shirt is devastating. A 9mm to the head should be lights out not like a rubber ball Leveling ruined assassins creed, and it ruined far cry
I don't even remember when was the last time i heard a review that wasn't just someone licking the balls of the publisher of the game even though it was a terrible game, but yours is just amazing! Well, not amazing, but just truthfull and honest, wich is hard nowadays so yeah, amazing!
@@chrisprilloisebola cause cyberpunk was so shit there was a lot of controversy but in the beginning even before releasing every single youtuber that tried the early access french kissed the game's ass. Even on release when the game was an atrocious mess until everyone jumped ship and agreed the game was shit
I thought the weapon system was really annoying. I did have a lot of fun for a minute but when you are in the middle of a battle and you are shooting a poison enemy with armor piercing rounds and it’s not doing anything, so you have to pause the menu to equip your fire weapon and then vice versa (need special poison gun to combat a flame thrower). It feels like an obnoxious chore. Okay I guess I’ll just pause to go through my inventory every time there is an enemy that requires special ammunition right in the middle of every fire fight … for the next 70 hours lol
every ubisoft game is exactly the same, just a different setting. im getting PTSD attacks every time i hear the word "outposts". at least they know the value of their games and put them on a 75% sale shortly after their release
@@washington609 their games are just lazy, they tease you with nice graphics on trailers but then its just a hollow boring repetitive experience with a shallow and politically correct story. if you enjoy it, fair enough. but its not worth the price of an AAA title.
@@washington609 No one can be offensive against soulless corporations churning out different flavors of the same shit, if anything their practices are offensive to their greater past.
I agree. FarCry has become a Saints Row-esque / Just Cause-esque goofy action barrage. I miss the old days when it was at least trying to be serious. Part 2 for instance wasn't goofy at all and even parts 3 & 4 - while having a couple ridiculous moments - generally had a serious undertone. I mean Jason Brody becoming a warrior, more or less against his will, and losing himself on the way was pretty serious stuff. And there were no colorful trucks with mounted machine guns or stuff like that. But now it's just trying to to do much and I'm not here for it...
My review of the game is close to this. It’s a pretty good game, but it’s barely a far cry game. I wanted to solve tower puzzles to reveal the maps, I wanted to infiltrate bases to weaken enemies in the area, I wanted to hunt animals to upgrade my player. I didn’t want a crazy backpack that can blow a helicopter out of the sky. I didn’t want to have to change ammo types often.
Having played the game, my main complaint is that the quests feel very fetch questy. It feels like only 25 percent of the missions you do have meaning. EDIT: I started playing with a friend in co op and we are planning on beating the entire game together. Like every main mission, and we are taking our time for sure. After like a month we just beat the montero quest line and are getting are toes wet in the legends quest line. Honetly, the game is mad fun. But its prolly cuz im playing co op, but the missions are actually fun a bit later in the game.
This is exactly what a review should be. 11 minutes yet there’s so much information about the game packed into that 11 minutes when other reviews are as long as the game lol. Straight to the point, doesn’t ramble on about random stuff not related to the game. Goes into great detail and answers pretty much all my question. I’m buying it and subscribing.
To me this kinda feels like a Just Cause 3 that doesn't knows what its aiming for... The magazine GameStar put it quite well "For every good idea there is a bad one".
I played the first 2 hours and was actually pretty excited as it seemed like they'd improved the formula. My friend and I were a little disheartened that we still couldn't play co-op right from the start of the game, but we powered through it while voice chatting in discord. As soon as co-op was available, my friend and I connected and I realized that they didn't innovate much at all, they just made the intro of the game as flashy as possible. Co-op is still half-baked, and player 2 feels like they're just along for the ride for player 1's game. There is still no shared mission progress in this AAA game that charges $120 for the complete edition when not on sale. They're suffering the same creative drought as Assassin's Creed because Ubisoft wants to follow a Call-of-Duty-esque release model.
I am playing the game, for me, this is honestly a great game, the boat mission was amazing, and makes you feel badass, this game for me, is a 10/10 so far!
@ashy I think FC3 is the best of the entire series, Far Cry 6 is god-awful. No immersion, no atmosphere, a story I don't give a crap about, and an alligator following me around. Going to try to get my money back.
I just finished it and agree with a lot of what you’re saying. It looks nice but the story is so linear and predictable. Good guns, plenty of them. I could have done with more and larger checkpoints, because I really enjoy the sniper side of it. It was a let down, compared to FC5, and 4 was better to. 3 was my favourite.
I’ve made it a couple hours in and honestly this doesn’t feel like a far cry game. I just played through 5 again and fell in love with it again. With this, I feel like it’s a mix between the divisions customization, dying lights movement mechanics, and a story that doesn’t really know where it’s going it seems. Seems like they tried to change the perfect formula of far cry 5 and personally, it’s failing miserably in my opinion
I definitely agree that they shouldn't have changed the formula from 5 and expanded on some of the mechanics like Guns for Hire. And they should definitely stop adding the RPG element too
I miss the far cry 2 elements where in multiplayer you could create insane maps and put vehicles everywhere boats, planes/gliders, suvs, trucks, machine gun vehicles.. I remember in far cry instincts predator people made a battleship map it was insane.. Then in far cry 2 on Xbox 360. It was INCREDIBLE. People made insane maps with sky scrapers or huge platforms in the sky. Man when in far cry 3 they removed that I was pissed... why??? That was the most unique selling point for me, I don’t know any other console game where you could create dynamic maps with multi passenger vehicles everywhere and incredible terrain. They really need to make that a feature again and actually push it as a selling point, it would give them such a popular gameplay attraction.
*Additional Review Writeup:*
-Time to beat main story: ~15-20 hours
-Average FPS: 125
-Captured on: PC - Ryzen 5950x, RTX 3090, 1440p, Max Settings
-Video rendered at 4k (upscaled from 2k - seems to give the best overall image)
-You can disable enemy health bars & all HUD elements for a more immersive experience
-Much of the marketing for this game was centered around the crazy weapons you can get (they are called Resolvers). Nail guns, rocket launchers that shoot firecrackers, a gun that shoots CD's, etc. They are pretty fun, I'll admit... but some of them are too gimmick to the point where you'd rather just use the standard guns instead honestly.
-The game does not feature any sort of character perks, skill trees or RPG leveling systems. You simply level up and the game does so along with you (I explained this in the video). I’m fine without perks or skill trees, as this is primarily a sandbox action FPS game.
-Mission variety is low and inconsistent. Typically, you accept a mission, drive to the location it wants you to be, and do one of 6 things: infiltrate the base, defend the base, steal something from the base, blow something up at the base, find something at the base, or rescue something at the base. There’s nothing beyond this, which is disappointing.
-There is no manual save system, which isn’t anything new to the franchise but comes with the same frustrations. Getting nearly all the way through a mission and dying can be painful as the game will often send you back to where you picked up the mission. Woulda’ been nice if the game spawned you back at the mission location at least, as travel times can be fairly long in this game if you don’t happen to have an aircraft available to you. Ugh.
-While movement animations are slick and great, climbing isn’t terribly well integrated. You’ll often try and jump up things like boxes or fences and won’t be able to, even though you really should. The climb up mechanic doesn’t give you enough leeway in my opinion.
-The grapple rope is nice to have, but very situational. You won’t be using it much outside the odd moment you’re climbing a building. There is one mission on a ship where you can use it to fly across the water, which is cool, but it’s fairly gimmicky and circumstantial.
-Dani is serious, the characters you meet are goofy, and Anton is psychotic - I touched on the dissonance a little bit in the video but it can’t be overstated. The mixture is just off - the game needs to stick to a tonal theme and run with it.
-Mechanically speaking, the game is very very good. Several subtle mechanics exist for the player to discover, like chaining bunny hops with slides/wingsuit jumps or shooting enemies in the feet to open up a free machete kill. I highly enjoyed the gameplay in Far Cry 6 more than any other game in the franchise because it simply feels great and next-gen.
-Your character enters 3rd person mode when in friendly camps, which is odd but I guess makes sense because the game needs to show off how you look since there’s plenty of cosmetic/armor customization.
-Speaking of armor loadouts, I don’t necessarily think the game needs them. They are tied to bonuses like fire protection, bullet protection, etc. I would have rather seen them as straight upgrades, because when you have a pair of gloves that “increases run speed when your weapons are holstered” it creates a system where you’re always going to swap to these when encounters are over. This makes disturbances in the gameplay flow since that involves going into the arsenal menu to equip them. So, not a big fan of the system in this capacity.
-Overall, I enjoyed the game despite its glaring flaws (uninteresting/one dimensional characters and villains, bad writing, homogenization of gameplay sequences in that story, lack of substantial side content relating to characters, etc). I don’t like open world games for the most part (there are exceptions when the quality is there), but I really do think Far Cry games are good, dumb fun. I mean that in the best of ways from a gameplay perspective. Just don’t take it very seriously.
-The post-launch roadmap looks very good, with lots of content and spin off stuff similar to what’s been done in the past.
Thanks, if you enjoyed the video feel free to thumbs it up!

I think it’s still a fun game and far cry hasn’t felt serious since 3 tbh. It’d be interesting to get a really serious like call of duty-esque game but it wouldn’t be as fun as the far cry formula to me personally at least.

I don't think FARCRY is the worst thing to happen to the gaming industry despite the utter distain it's receiving from gaming critics who've never really enjoyed FARCRY for what it was to begin with.
4:26 opening a menu and selecting a different weapon isn’t a burden, it’s leagues easier than going to an outpost to do it in previous games
I believe it may be unceremonious. When you had to actually go for the lockers, each decision of weapons and attachments mattered. You made your kickass arsenal and played with the options you chose. Having all your guns avaible at the time leads you to think every gun is in your arsenal at all times. Which leads you to the tedious gun swapping for every situation.
Part of choosing your guns is also choosing your playstyle. If the enemies are far away, and no sniper, you must close the distance. If all you have is long distance, then you must place yourself accordingly.
I miss the old far cry 2 formula. Doing those missions where you have to destroy convoys felt so much more organic and free roam
That was in 4, 5, and new dawn as well. They werent quite the same since you were just taking some mats back to a place or claiming what was in the back of the semi.
Fire mechanics were the best out of the series fire actually made an impact on the environment...... if only they expanded upon what they had in far cry 2
If it had wildlife it would have been pretty much be hands down the best.
2 and 3 are my favourites. I gave up after 4.
And weapons being able to crap out on you and needing an actual map to navigate and choosing to attack at night while guards were sleeping
Came here for the requisite far cry 2 comment :D
They need to take a 3-4 year break and release a huge innovative far cry game with a super immersive/interactive world and just really get the game on point.
There was a 4 year gap between FC4 to FC5 and a 3 year gap between FC5 to FC6. You can't expect ubishit to do anything right regardless of the amount of time you give them 😂
@@GamingTank The only other “bad” game they made in the far cry series was new dawn and the Wii game version
I hate that they scrapped human companions for making amigos the only companions you can take with you. Having some of the characters join you after having a series of side quests to build up their personalites like in the previous game, wouldve been amazing.
Also, with the tonal dissonance, you had a great point. It's just weird because FC4 managed to pull off the goofy and quirky Ubisoft game while also having a charming villain.
Wish we could've had El Tigre as an Amigo
Ubisoft games are hilarious to me. The most dispassionate, soulless, hollow.... yet technically competent....games out there.

I most watch play through and this is accurate. I haven't seen a Ubi Soft game with soul since Prince of Persia and Assassins Creed 2 on Ps3.
For real tho, Ubisoft is like the Olive Garden of the gaming industry, a soulless corporation, which dosn't make bad products, just extremely mediocre ones, which is (in my opinion) even worse than a bad product.

It was stupid. For them to constantly bash going to America where there are so many exploits for people to come and get large loans, assistance programmes and the like was just disgusting. People can claim all they want that there is a disclaimer in the start up but to openly bash America specifically yet the area the game is set is fictional only pokes the finger in the eyes of America while it does everything it can with taxpayers dollars to put immigrants legal and illegal in what seems to be better situations than Americans them selves.
Only 7 years
the "quirky, whacky characters" gave me watchdogs 2 flashbacks. WD2 had an absolutely beautiful map, the overall franchise premise, but the side characters are so unbearable I just couldn't move forward. Ubisoft seems to like this kind of writing for some reason.

Blood dragon, 4, primal, 5, new dawn, so Far cry 6 is far cry 3 part 6
It’s nothing like far cry 3, 4, or 5, and this is someone who’s been playing ever since 2
This is honestly the best FC6 review I have seen. Tonald went from a bad reviewer to a good one once he started to really care about his content and it shows. I couldn't find another review that actually explained the game this well.
As a Far Cry veteran since FC2, I’m only in the early days of the game, but I can already tell this game ranks low on my favorites list. I’m not a fan of there being practically zero wildlife diversity, which has been a staple to this franchise. And the biggest thing that has bugged me so far, has been the enemy AI respawning in areas you just cleared out 10 seconds prior. I’m having fun but not as much fun as the previous Far Cry’s. So far, Far Cry 4 still hasn’t been topped, as that game set the bar too high.
Edit: finished the game. It’s definitely *not* better than 3, 4, or 5.
I'm a veteran since FC1.
Shit changed so much since I was a 10 year old..
I fucking love far cry 4. and tbh, each far cry game is special in its own way: I really can’t even compare any of them because they’re all different.
Dont play ghost recon wildlands then, ememies.just randomly spawn right on your.out of thin air. Great game though.
@@darrenkelly7271 I actually liked wildlands and I don’t recall them spawning out of thin air like they do in FC6.
My buddy and I started bitching because of this when we co-oped. We cleared a little cabin near a beach and fought off respawning enemies for like 10 minutes just sitting there like, ‘wtf is this crap.’ Eventually we just left because we couldn’t kill everyone. FC 4 is still the best in my opinion as well. This one isn’t great so far.
As much as I love Far Cry 4, I have to admit, it is disappointing that this is the fifth time in a row this series has rolled out pretty much the same game they made back in 2012.
It does feel different in ways. I like it much better than 5.
To be fair FC4 was damn near FC3 too lol

@@BrandNewAlien Yeah, that was my point. As much as I love Far Cry 4, it is pretty much the same as Far Cry 3, the one they released in 2012.
Thanks for saving me $100 man. I was so excited for this when I saw the trailer expecting a dark noir type of intense story-driven experience but looking at the gameplay and goofy cutscenes and the weird sci fi backpack and all this weirdness I'm just not into it, I was hoping for a modern version of FC3's vibe but this seems like FC5 just moved to the tropics
Or like FC2, a brutal and merciless world but with the tweak improvements of today. But alas.
Watch some more reviews I honestly think if u enjoyed farcry 3 you’d enjoy this as a long time far cry fan I love this game it’s really fun and has the best looking world by a long shot
I 100% agree, I was really hoping for more of a story driven experience like FC3. Lack of cut scenes, character scripts/personalities, and physical animations is disappointing. The game is still fun but not exactly what I was hoping for especially with having an actual actor playing the main villain and the premise having such potential
Agreed. I _hate_ Far Cry 5's cartoony guns and other BS. I want a reimagining of Far Cry 2. Dark, brutal, authentic and unforgiving.
Good call man. I dropped 60 bucks and I'm playing it right now and it sucks. Hoping to return it to GameStop for an exchange on Modern Warfare and Far Cry 4.
Got this game a couple years after it came out for a big discount. It’s definitely worth the $20 I paid for it. At first I think I liked it better than FC5, and probably still do. It’s beautiful, and the gameplay is smooth. The story is a bit all over the place though, and half the time I can’t tell if I’m doing a side mission or a main story one. My main beef is the ammo type thing though. If I hit someone in the head or torso with an armor piercing round from a .50 cal sniper rifle, they should go down, not just brush it off like a mosquito bite.

@@solbriller1 I agree (unironically). This video is the first time I've come back to a Downward Thrust upload in about 2 years. Before I clicked, I literally thought "has this guy got any better yet?" The first two-thirds of the video are very dry mechanical explanations of the functions in the game with little to no personality woven into those explanations. The last portion of this video discussing story are somewhat more opinionated and analytical. And *vastly* better for it. I honestly wonder if DT has a personality disorder sometimes. Not hating at all but the dry analysis just doesn't compel me to watch.
How do you know it was a good game review? Youve played it?
I don't get why people are getting mad with the game. I plays the game messing around,doing random stuff and causing havoc to relieve stress from life. It like when we're kids we played GTA san Andreas destroying city not knowing the story. Not sure nowadays why people keep focusing on storyline instead of pure sheer of fun.
Hell of a change since Far Cry 2. That'll always be my favourite. FC4 gets a bad rap sometimes but I enjoyed a lot of it. Especially the Shangri La parts. And the .700 Nitro.

I was really hoping that with Giancarlo Esposito as the antagonist, we were finally going to get a character to rival Vaas Montenegro from Far Cry 3. Sounds like that isnt the case. Why you would get one of the most loved actors today and then not give them as much screen time as possible to do what they do so well, is beyond me. It sounds like the writing team didn't take this game too seriously either, which is really a shame. Giancarlo Esposito was the only reason I even payed attention to this game in the first place.

@@adriannn3720 problem with some viewers is they always think they are the best at specific games so when they watch reviews they get triggered.
Everyone is good with mouse and keyboard
@@geert574 not true guy
Sorry bro but youre seriously wrong
Coulda just said "It's an Ubisoft game" and ended the review. The only really good things they release now is when it's a smaller more niche title. All their mainline games are just very okay. Watch Dogs 1 was definitely where they started to fall, and I loved that game.
Same, I loved the first watch dogs.
im going to get flamed on this but the dude said he skipped cutscenes. I don't care how bad the story is if youre a reviewer it's literally your job to watch them. I don't plan on picking this but the complaints about tonality seemed nitpicky. The trailer had crocodiles in tracksuits and roosters killing people, it was always marketed as a goofy world outside the villain.
@@umarb7325 I completely agree with you on that
@@umarb7325 I also completely agree with you on that
Ghost recon wild lands was the start of the downfall for me
Once again the villain only appears 2-3 times during the game, same as Pagan Min in FC4...
The thing about Pagan is though, he does personally interact with you through the coms and actually has connection with the player character.
I loved Pagan, had a blast playing FC4.
Same in Far Cry 3. And Far Cry 2.
I have already seen him 5 times and I have like 4 hours maybe play the game first then complain
Pagan interacted with the protagonist through phone calls and he was very funny. I like that he didnt actually wanted to kill him and cared for him
All the rpg elements are a deal breaker for me, seem like more of annoyance than a meaningful addition to the game
Every game implements RPG elements just so they can get extra money with packs to buy and microtransactions and all that Ubisoft should literally just stop making games unless they go back to the splinter cell days where they actually gave a f***
@@cody1016 Remember, not every game is made by fuckin Ubisoft and EA so not every game implements rpg elements so you can buy (insert dumb name for premium currency), play something that these people don't put out big brain.
Ubisoft is taking Far Cry down the same road they took Assassin's Creed. And all their other major game series.
My brain trying to cope: pretend its Fallout
@@daveharrenburg7670 for real it's sad as hell Turing everything into a rpg
This game has some interesting perks - like you might get a pistol that reloads all your weapons in your loadout when it is reloaded - a great time saver for the LMG's for example.
Huh I might try that.....
Immersion-breaking console 🗑️
Far Cry 6 was boring, the weapons were “meh”, and the character outfits were dumb.
Totally agree, huge mistake buying this ,I should have saved my money
I wonder if this one will break the trend of mainline Far Cry endings pissing me off. It seems like they are in love with raining on the player's parade at the end for edgy boi points.
4 and 5 are the worst offenders
@@vokajor9043 But the Good Guys win in 5?
@@Starioshka No they don't. Then in New Dawn you have 5's protagonist as a brainwashed husk of their former self.
@@theluscioussound Yes? So? The Good Guys aren't always the protagonists my dude.
@@Starioshka No bro. In 5 you can go away or get nuked. Joseph had his 25 kill streak.
Far cry 3 and 4 lured me in with their villains just to bamboozle me with how underdeveloped they are and how samey the gameplay is.
Haven't played primal and 5 and apparently I'm skipping this one.
Thanks for saving me some money Tonald.
5 and primal are the same, primal it is juts a mess.
@@SuperKratosgamer Primal was good to be fair
‘Primal’ is the best FC game though.
You can copy-paste this review for farcry 5. Loved the open world and gameplay...but story and characters were cringy underdeveloped trash. Pick up 5, and later 6, in a sale, and just don't have any hopes or pay any attention to the story and enjoy the gameplay! This way you will have a good time! The feeling of freedom and exploration is amazing!
Primal was the best imo, other than FC3 because of how unique it was at the time... But like you say its all "samey" it's the same thing over and over every single game... Primal added a twist to this which was enjoyable but as for the rest of the FC games, no thanks... I came here to see if anything was different and nothing has changed tbh.
Realy liked the review but thought it could have more examples when talking about your issues with the characterisation and tonal whiplash.
best stealth build for far cry 6 be advised i am not spamming just want people to have a better exercise with the stealth build for outposts instead of well dying ruclips.net/video/ppAmBPwP8X4/видео.html
Wont that spoil some stuff tho.
honestly my best example with tonal whiplash are the fangs for hire. you have a rather serious story and setting, and then you have a disabled dog as helper. what?
You can definitely use supremo more than once in a fight. There are mods that give you energy for it. My favorite so for is the LaVarita/Triador. It’s absolutely broken. (This is a secret armor, gun, and supremo you can unlock by doing treasure hunts)
Not really. I had like 2 of the mods and I was able to use the supremo max twice. That supremo was so much fun to use btw.
Just Cry LGBT 6: The Battle to Make Yara Completely Gay.
Not kidding. Literally most of the characters are gay or trans to include several drag queens.
The only straight relationship I can think of was a woman who wanted her husband killed. He was an artist that tortured and used the bodies for his art. Turns out, she loved it and was only upset when she found out she was next to be his art. It's a very small side quest. I think there was another small side quest about a man seeking a woman he used to know but it was vague.
It was so transparent, that when I walked through a camp, I saw a man and a woman dancing together. I was surprised that there was a straight relationship portrayal, but as I got close, he was talking about his boyfriend and she was talking about her wife.
The fact that this reviewer doesn't mention that the game is 100 percent focused on gay rights (which the lead writer claimed) and that the vast majority of characters are gay (yes, most of them), completely destroying any realism in any way, shows this wasn't a brutally honest and very flawed review.
I'm really disappointed they had to put leveling in the game
Ikr. It's no different like The arcadey Division
It isn't bad.
@ymif I've played both....far cry 6 you can kill with one head shot.
@ymif I couldn't stomach New Dawn's enemy and weapon scaling. Am I going to find it in FC 6?
@ymif I played it today, my advice. Don't listen to these negative hate comments. The game is great, really smooth and love the atmosphere.
so in other words... the typical ubisoft game where Watch Dogs, Far Cry, and Assassins Creed are just different skins on the same base. So much for them hiring that new person with the specific purpose of making their games "feel new and different"
Exactly
Dude that was earlier this year… Far Cry 6 started development in 2016.
Ive been skipping Ubisoft Games for years now for that reason. Always the same lazy shit and staying in their lane
there's like so much new shit here, I don't get the hate. bullet types, the packs, stat gear, a city environment. People shit on ubisoft games for being too much like other ubisoft games but the fact is they make the most in depth open world games available, you can only improve that so much. Notice no one ever actually has suggestions for what they should add, it's just "iT fEeLs LiKe OtHeR uBiSoFt GaMeS" no shit, it's a ubisoft game, it doesn't mean it's a bad game.
@@deadsoulgaming7115 people are such assholes, and I came across a review this morning from a website that I’ve never heard of where the reviewer gave Far Cry 6 a 4/10 🙄and it was basically an entire review bitching about the game not being revolutionary. I’m so sick of people thinking for a game to be great that it has to be revolutionary, and frankly giving it a 4 is ridiculous.
Bro ur reviewing a game. U can’t just skip cutscenes like that. A story is a big part of the far cry games.
Dude he explained why he skipped them... cuz they are absolute garbage, story is shit
He explained why he skipped them , it’s absolute garbage lmfao
I always skip cutscenes in ubisoft games. Because so fk boring and robot. What a story?? Climb, run, outpost and end game.
@@Tacet137 that doesn’t matter lmao. Whether he likes it or not he is reviewing it. That’s like a reviewer skipping half of a show cuz they didn’t like it. If we do it it’s fine, but if ur job is to review games u shouldn’t.
@SNES Nes I think it depends on the genre
This is a great review. You nailed it man. We love Far Cry games but at a certain point its important to step back and not allow yourself to take things too seriously.
Definitely firing my copy up in a few though. Cheers!
Tyty
Castillo was pretty nuanced in terms of his relationship with his son and reasons for why he was so cruel to Yarans. He wanted to build the country up and felt that using slaves and poison was the only way. He also wanted to make his son strong yet make sure he didn't suffer as he had.
I personally love games that can balance humor with seriousness, you need the light in a game this dark. I didn't find that the silly times took away from the dark storyline, it added to the stakes and made me care. I actually cried at one point when a few characters died.
Great review! Thanks for putting it together and giving me some food for thought. We both can agree that it was a lot of fun to blow things up though. :D Very cathartic. ;)
It seems like Far Cry 3 was an absolute fluke. Everything since that has just had a bad story or the entire setup just makes no sense "looking at you far cry 5"
Far Cry 5 is a masterpiece
@@strikerbowls791 It’s a good game, but no masterpiece.
@@strikerbowls791 thank you
@@strikerbowls791 how is it a masterpiece? the story is terrible. boss battles are terrible. no mission variety
@@strikerbowls791 the story doesn't make any sense SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!
the cult kidnaps your character multiple times; but they never kill your character.
If your character works for the state; why dont they ever call in backup?
Why would 4 people try and arrest one guy; when the cult already took over the entire state?
The guns are also really repetitive; no variety
"Run-in-the-mill" ohhh Tonald never change. :)
I nearly choked when he said 'three sets of QUESTIONS' instead of 'three sets of quests'. 😂😂
I wish I could say that this surprised me but it's what I've come to expect from Far Cry games.
6 is amazing
Game Ranks “before you buy” series has been my go to channel to decide what games to get for a looooong time now. But now that I’ve found this channel, they just might slip further down in the ranking.
Great video!
I JUST got the game in March 2023 for $15. I wasn't about preorder or pay full price.
I am surprised... its not as "bad" as a lot of peoole claimed. I am having a good time.
But I see why Far Cry fans were really put off by it. Its not at all like a Far Cry game.
You are not a foriegner thrust into a conflict you have nothing to do with and are desperate to escape. You are fighting to defend your home willingly in an organized insurection. The villian is hardly aware of you specifically.
The best part of Far Cry to me is that first third of the game where you are weak, have lame guns and have to always look over your shoulder, often running from encounters. Being able to holster your gun and blend in or travel on Guerilla trails makes it so you don't have to worry about every jeep that passes by. I was never afraid, they give you the best rifle and mod it for you right away. I had a tank before leavingnthe tutorial island.
And you have all your guns on you at all times, and have all your holsters unlocked immediately. There is no getting caught in a firefight with your pants down with just a bow and shotgun.
There is no skill tree, you gotta pick and choose your perks via gear.
Its not like a Far Cry game. Its more like Ghost Recon Wildlands amd Assassins Creed had a baby and made Herk the Godfather. There are bits of every Ubisoft game in this one, and its stripped it of the Far Cry identity.
I am surprised we dont have an eagle or drone for scouting and tagging.
And its wacky. Far Cry has always been a perfect mix of serious and absurd. They leaned into the absurd, especially with the weapons. Its silly, very video-gamey. Immersion is difficult.
And the story is awful and the charachters are stupid. Easily the worst Far Cry in that aspect. Its clear they made the story to fit with the game rather than the other way around. And the cringe, the cringe. Its like a slightly more believeable Just Cause game.
All that being said... its really fun. JUST CAUSE is fun after all. The gameplay is what its about. Especially if you go for creative rather than efficient with your loadouts and tactics. Being able to holster your weapon allows for thorough scouting and opportunities to set up traps. The niche weapons and gear make for some interesting encounters. Its really fun.
It's just not really Far Cry as we have known it. Its been homogenized into another stereotypical Ubisoft Open World game with bits from Assassins Creed, Ghost Recon, Watchdogs 2, The Division... Like I said, I am surprised we didnt get eagle vision or a drone. Its less a linear story and more a random collection of things to do.
But I am mostly about gameplay when it comes to games I like or don't like. I do not require an oscar-worthy cinematic experience with interesting charachter arcs and a plot that invokes thoughtful reflection, so long as the game is fun.
And in Guerilla mode, its really fun. I found Action Mode too easy. Knowing where enemies are and having X ray vision was too much help. I walk around with a gun out most times and rarely use the safe trails to encourage random encounters. And I just pretend I don't have all my guns on me all the time.
Bam. Its Far Cry again.
And I do like the repopulating enemies and the expanded end game stuff. There is always something to do.
I like the game. Its fun. I am glad I didn't pay full price though. You really do have to make your own fun with this one though. Ubisoft gave us the sandbox and the toys to play in it with... but the game itself doesn't know what it is.
Its more like they set out to improve Just Cause than progress Far Cry.
Wow, you're early on a review this time, Tonald! I'm pleasantly surprised 😀 Thanks for being honest.
The game looks fun, and by now I'm no longer expecting much about story after Far Cry 5. I just want to play a fun open-world shooter 😅

@Evan Mann Are you really this stupid?
@Evan Mann to constantly get you're pockets milked. It's why they released the current generation 3 years early and flood with remakes at launch. No ingenuity , ( cry me a river about processing and pixels , graphics aren't anything without storyline and functionality mixed ) no innovation , no next generation products. Cut scenes from last two previous generations are today's gaming graphics wise and that's not innovation. Sad times we live in. UbiSoft sucks and are crap peddlers , check The Division Two better check 21 Kiloton's reviews of that game. Never touch anything from that title or company again.
Glad to see you making a comeback, you need to make some reviews on the games coming out later this year. You provide a very detailed while being concise review that I can't find anywhere else on YT. Keep it up and I hope to see more soon.
❗FAR CRY 6 HAS BEEN CRACKED❗ Review and installation is already on my channel 💀
I feel like the enemy ai soldier’s uniforms does not fit with the island setting. Who wears white in a jungle warfare or urban warfare?
I actually like this game a lot I spent all night playing it, couldn't put the controller down and I had work in the morning. if that doesn't say something about how much fun the game is. I don't know what does
How far in are you? I'm starting hour 3 and I hate it.
Have you played the other farcrys?
@@miketexas4549 I will say the "tutorial" Island is pretty boring. After I have found it enjoyable and the story is pretty good but I have never played any far cry except for 5 and that was shocking.
@@noahhaynes1917 I found 5 to be superb. 3 is a damn masterpiece. For me, the name of the game is immersion. If I play for an extended period of time do I feel like I'm part of the game or not. In my opinion, the characters in Far Cry 6 completely ruin immersion with their corny dialogue, hints of wokeness, hoop earrings and skinny jeans. I thought this was supposed to be about fighting a revolution - it's game-breaking for me. I feel like I am participating in a stupid cartoon rather than enjoying a great game about defeating a ruthless dictator and regaining my freedom. Thankfully I was able to take Far Cry 6 back to GameStop and exchange it for two games that I've always wanted to play - Modern Warfare and Far Cry 4.
@@miketexas4549 as someone who enjoys corny dialogue and designs, I really want it. This is game after all and no game can be perfect
spent 20 hours on FC6, got bored
Knowing Ubisoft this will be 50% off sometimes soon so ill just wait a bit.
Genuinely glad to see you back. More far cry… I’m ready for it!
When I play FAR CRY games, I’m a handgun, shotgun, sniper rifle guy.
It’s much tougher this way, you get right up close to the enemy. Sometimes I even prefer just picking them off one by one with my knife.
Each to his own.
Without sounding redundant, we like far cry games because of the exact formula that they are built on. It’s like playing a great game of chess, you don’t all of a sudden flip the chessboard upside down and throw the game out after you’ve played it a few times if somebody could make it brand new looking but still keep chess at the score mechanic of the game. In saying this, I mean every single game that we play is the same in one fashion or another. There is always protagonist versus antagonist somebody gets almost killed and the boss doesn’t finish you off and you spend the whole game trying to get back to get them you either have a party of people or you’re completely solo do you have camps to take out or levels to complete that have a boss at the end of each level. They’re not reinventing the wheel here. They were giving us exactly what we have paid for at least six times already. And that’s the same as assassin‘s creed. People that enjoy stalking and assassinating people in the style of assassin‘s creed Will keep buying. And to hope that a company is going to change a winning formula that other people copy off of, it’s not only ridiculous it would be self-defeating for us as the players to wish this so. If people think that approaching a camp the way they want to either stealth or guns blazing and have the terrain and the enemy switched up all the time and have new stories but the same kind of combat is fun , then why fk w the flow? ( I know that was the worlds longest run-on sentence ) i’m just saying that people keep expecting other people to reinvent the wheel like dead space for instance. Did space one and two came out to awesome reviews oh it’s epic yada yada. Did space three they were pressured to change it up and everybody complained about dead space three. I happen to like it because I love dad‘s face and I like the whole idea of the universe that it’s in. But you see what happens when you take a formula and you slightly alter it is they put you to the cross and set you on fire. I got a far cry when it came out I’ve played every far cry there’s ever been and some of them are more unique than others. Primal, was probably one of my favorites ever and far cry three of course and far cry four. Lol. Far cry six is more of the same and that’s a good thing. You don’t buy Cheerios expecting to get frosted flakes or some mystery cereal. You buy Cheerios because you want friggin Cheerios
Exactly! This type of game play is why I play the Far Cry games. Arcade shooter with outrageous things. I loved Assassians Creed through Syndicate. Then they changed it to the shit it is now to appease people that didn't appreciate the games for what they were, and now they just feel like a sandbox God of War. I haven't played one since Syndicate.
I’m only disappointed in the removal of the skill tree and upgrading bags and stuff with hunting animals

Really? I'm a huge Farcry fan and I think it's terrible.
@@thelastofusps4857 I played for five hours and had to turn it off. Zero immersion. Unrealistic, dumb characters with cringey dialog. Broken AI. Hints of wokeness. I absolutely loved 3 and 5, but 6 is GOD awful.

I'm a couple of hours into FC4 and loving it. Ridiculous that all these years later Ubisoft can't/won't do better.
I hear you guys and yes it is alot of the same stuff but I liked those same things from the previous games. I will say this though, they definitely need to bring something new to the table in the next game cause I know by the end of this one its definitely going to be stale. Still, I'm enjoying it as of now. I really like the amigos in this one.
@@leonkennedy4936 East LA simulator 😀
I agree with everything you said. My problem might be that i cant stop comparing the games with the 3rd.. I always end up hating ''amigo'' like features and as you say, over the top wacky characters. To me, its as its bestwhen you start from nothing, fight your way til the end like a lone-survivor type. In far cry 6, starting the game with the supremo, just ruined everything for me. But Hey, I'm all for developers trying to make their games better and up to date, but in this series, feels like they have more or less abandoned the series formula. Feels now more like your regular loot and shoot.. Idk, maybe its just me
I waited for this game with high hopes after seeing the gameplay and the trailers. And after playing farcry 3 and 4 I assumed they set the bar high and were gonna absolutely amaze me with this game. But when I finally began playing the game I couldn't help but feel that Far Cry 6 is just an uninspired game. Nothing feels unique and honestly is a step back for a franchise. For example, in Far Cry 4 you could travel across the map to hunt various animals that could help you upgrade gear like your wallet, weapon holster, and ammo bags. But in this game there's very minimal wildlife to start and even hunting feels pointless. Also the game begins to be incredibly annoying when enemies respawn in places that you have already cleared. So far I haven't noticed any characters that really stick out and feel memorable and important. I feel like Ubisoft has taken the lable "open world games" and just made them all nearly the same generic game. I hope in the future they can finally get the personality and inspiration they once had when they made the previous Far Cry games. If you disagree with anything I pointed out please let me know because I haven't finished the game but I plan on doing so. Thank you for reading my comment.
From the title I thought this would be a completely negative review, but it was actually so great and well made! Made alot of great points that are very hard to argue with. 👏
I never got into any far cry. I feel like I get the gist playing literally any other open world shooting game. Especially from Ubisoft

Blast Ammo is good to making things go BOOM !
But the games have their quirks that is for sure. it's not quite as specific as New Dawn in making you do a certain thing - at lest Explosives are not broken from the outset like in New Dawn.
@@thelastofusps4857 I can certainly see how different things upset different people in different ways to different degrees. I for example was not at all happy the sheer insanity of the grind required to get Explosives up to decent usable power in New Dawn. I also would have really welcomed some additional expeditions released after the game launched - as considering the number of times they need to be replayed that a would be something you could consider a serious quality of life improvement.
That said I don't play any Far Cry game for the plot (like at all) and so It takes a lot to upset me - the looter shooter stuff in this game and the removal of XP as a means to level up is a bit weird & I can see "gear clash" being a bit of an issue.
But it's mostly "that's a bit weird" to me types stuff more than " I am offended/disappointed" type stuff.
I can't say I appreciate them offering an end game gun the same week the game is released and the vast majority of players won't even have finished it yet - to get to that point they can claim the gun.
That is a crappy thing to do that I can't honestly say I approve of. (It will be less bad if they offer the same gun again in another way mind)

I've been waiting for years now for FC to have some kind of a base-building element. Rather than simply capturing and destroying enemy bases/comms towers, I think it would be amazing to then rebuild/improve these bases. Could add an interesting new gameplay element which could easily be built into the overall story too.
FC 4 had some yeti dlc where you could build a base , kinda. It was pretty fun for a while tbh
❗FAR CRY 6 HAS BEEN CRACKED❗ Review and installation is already on my channel 😺

THE END
Nice review and interesting points about the characters not matching the tone of the overall serious setting
I appreciate your review of this game. It felt very honest and balanced.
I don't get this game. I have been playing for only like a couple of hours, but I can tell you the input delay is really bad. It takes like 3 seconds for you to crouch or do a takedown. Also, the story is just really mid. I don't know what this guy was talking about when he said Danni is a good character. You're better of playing Far Cry 3 or BloodDragon. What a waste of time and money. btw i played on ps4
I was dissapointed in FC5.. afraid to try this one 😅 For me it seems the further we go with FC games, the worse they get. First game was the actual masterpiece.
Was thinking of buying it but I remembered playing some of their past far cry games and assassins creeds its a long tedious grind of the same objective routines, one thing I hate the most and should not be in shooters is a health bar.
I actually quite enjoyed far cry 5. It was just the right amount of insanity and the story blended well with the setting even though it fell flat. This one though. It’s just cheesy and it’s just a bunch of fetch quests.
Still waiting on Blood Dragon 2.
Boring storyline everything feels forced comedy and bad characters tbh I miss the old ones farcrys like 3 4 and primal
Ubisoft should just promote their staff to other dev studios, and go into advertising. Their creative side is so PC, safe, shallow and forgettable. It'd be perfect.
What pissed me off in FC5 was the kidnappings. Brought the gameplay and the feeling to a complete halt. Are there similar things in FC6?
"The story is shit" "I skipped all the cutscenes" LMAO the fact that people are trusting these reviews is fucking hilarious
I haven't skipped a single cutscene so far. And the story is indeed shit
What's so hilarious about it? Have you ever played a recent Ubisoft game and watched all the cutscenes this dude is spot on
I'm in the early hours of far cry 6 but considering it's my first far cry game its awesome I love it so far definitely one of my favorite games of 2021
I would recommend u play the ogs like 3 and 4 before 6 as they just feel different yk😭 and if u wanna get stressed tf out and beat the sh* outta ur console then play farcry 2

Yeah now that I think of it, you're right. She would be burned so badly by the back blast. Ridiculous.
@@alsat8931 True
Can’t do it, I don’t care what level I am and what level the enemy is. A 5.56 through center mass on a guy in a T-shirt is devastating. A 9mm to the head should be lights out not like a rubber ball
Leveling ruined assassins creed, and it ruined far cry
I don't even remember when was the last time i heard a review that wasn't just someone licking the balls of the publisher of the game even though it was a terrible game, but yours is just amazing! Well, not amazing, but just truthfull and honest, wich is hard nowadays so yeah, amazing!
❗FAR CRY 6 HAS BEEN CRACKED❗ Review and installation is already on my channel 😺
Lol when have you heard reviews of that? I'd be hard pressed to find a review actually saying 100% positive things
@@chrisprilloisebola i meant reviews in general these days
@@leonardocamilio1206 idk, I've only really seen reviews that shit on games. Cyberpunk, AC, cold war, etc
@@chrisprilloisebola cause cyberpunk was so shit there was a lot of controversy but in the beginning even before releasing every single youtuber that tried the early access french kissed the game's ass. Even on release when the game was an atrocious mess until everyone jumped ship and agreed the game was shit
I thought the weapon system was really annoying. I did have a lot of fun for a minute but when you are in the middle of a battle and you are shooting a poison enemy with armor piercing rounds and it’s not doing anything, so you have to pause the menu to equip your fire weapon and then vice versa (need special poison gun to combat a flame thrower). It feels like an obnoxious chore. Okay I guess I’ll just pause to go through my inventory every time there is an enemy that requires special ammunition right in the middle of every fire fight … for the next 70 hours lol
Resident evil 4 perfected that system ^
Actually made me consider getting this. Thanks for the quality of the review
The game is so cringe . The game was so cringe it was unplayable for me because the WOKENESS
every ubisoft game is exactly the same, just a different setting. im getting PTSD attacks every time i hear the word "outposts". at least they know the value of their games and put them on a 75% sale shortly after their release
Why are you so offensive to those games ? Just because you dont enjoy them as other people do you dont have to disvalue this game.
@@washington609 their games are just lazy, they tease you with nice graphics on trailers but then its just a hollow boring repetitive experience with a shallow and politically correct story. if you enjoy it, fair enough. but its not worth the price of an AAA title.
@@washington609 No one can be offensive against soulless corporations churning out different flavors of the same shit, if anything their practices are offensive to their greater past.
I agree. FarCry has become a Saints Row-esque / Just Cause-esque goofy action barrage. I miss the old days when it was at least trying to be serious. Part 2 for instance wasn't goofy at all and even parts 3 & 4 - while having a couple ridiculous moments - generally had a serious undertone. I mean Jason Brody becoming a warrior, more or less against his will, and losing himself on the way was pretty serious stuff. And there were no colorful trucks with mounted machine guns or stuff like that. But now it's just trying to to do much and I'm not here for it...
My review of the game is close to this. It’s a pretty good game, but it’s barely a far cry game. I wanted to solve tower puzzles to reveal the maps, I wanted to infiltrate bases to weaken enemies in the area, I wanted to hunt animals to upgrade my player. I didn’t want a crazy backpack that can blow a helicopter out of the sky. I didn’t want to have to change ammo types often.
Having played the game, my main complaint is that the quests feel very fetch questy. It feels like only 25 percent of the missions you do have meaning.
EDIT:
I started playing with a friend in co op and we are planning on beating the entire game together. Like every main mission, and we are taking our time for sure. After like a month we just beat the montero quest line and are getting are toes wet in the legends quest line. Honetly, the game is mad fun. But its prolly cuz im playing co op, but the missions are actually fun a bit later in the game.
This is exactly what a review should be. 11 minutes yet there’s so much information about the game packed into that 11 minutes when other reviews are as long as the game lol. Straight to the point, doesn’t ramble on about random stuff not related to the game. Goes into great detail and answers pretty much all my question. I’m buying it and subscribing.
No, i totally disagree. So short because he does not know the game before reviewing:) Its an excellent game. i totally enjoy it
To me this kinda feels like a Just Cause 3 that doesn't knows what its aiming for...
The magazine GameStar put it quite well "For every good idea there is a bad one".
holy shit no wonder this game looks so damn familiar
I might just play it only for Gus Fri- I mean Antón Castillo
The amount times I’ve wanted to rage from hearing “because we are guerrillas” I get it this is the 500th time you’ve reminded me
pinga.
@@giedrius2149 At Least I learnt how to swear in spanish
I played the first 2 hours and was actually pretty excited as it seemed like they'd improved the formula. My friend and I were a little disheartened that we still couldn't play co-op right from the start of the game, but we powered through it while voice chatting in discord. As soon as co-op was available, my friend and I connected and I realized that they didn't innovate much at all, they just made the intro of the game as flashy as possible. Co-op is still half-baked, and player 2 feels like they're just along for the ride for player 1's game. There is still no shared mission progress in this AAA game that charges $120 for the complete edition when not on sale. They're suffering the same creative drought as Assassin's Creed because Ubisoft wants to follow a Call-of-Duty-esque release model.
I am playing the game, for me, this is honestly a great game, the boat mission was amazing, and makes you feel badass, this game for me, is a 10/10 so far!
Wich character do you prefer male or female
@ashy I think FC3 is the best of the entire series, Far Cry 6 is god-awful. No immersion, no atmosphere, a story I don't give a crap about, and an alligator following me around. Going to try to get my money back.
@ashy far cry is shite. maybe ill pirate it?
I just finished it and agree with a lot of what you’re saying.
It looks nice but the story is so linear and predictable.
Good guns, plenty of them.
I could have done with more and larger checkpoints, because I really enjoy the sniper side of it.
It was a let down, compared to FC5, and 4 was better to. 3 was my favourite.
I bought this game at launch and only played for like 20 minutes. The game doesn't seem interesting I think far cry 4 was the last good Far cry game
@@Eric42000 yes mate, such a let down. It’s like the trailer was better than the actual game 🥱😤
And remember: *NO PRE-ORDERS!*
who pre orders his father is gay
You can still pre order a few hours before launch after the early reviews come out
@ymif I hope so, the last I played was 4 and it was too identical to the 3. Because I replayed the 3 many times, I grew bored of 4 very fast.
I’ve made it a couple hours in and honestly this doesn’t feel like a far cry game. I just played through 5 again and fell in love with it again. With this, I feel like it’s a mix between the divisions customization, dying lights movement mechanics, and a story that doesn’t really know where it’s going it seems. Seems like they tried to change the perfect formula of far cry 5 and personally, it’s failing miserably in my opinion
I definitely agree that they shouldn't have changed the formula from 5 and expanded on some of the mechanics like Guns for Hire. And they should definitely stop adding the RPG element too
I miss the far cry 2 elements where in multiplayer you could create insane maps and put vehicles everywhere boats, planes/gliders, suvs, trucks, machine gun vehicles..
I remember in far cry instincts predator people made a battleship map it was insane..
Then in far cry 2 on Xbox 360. It was INCREDIBLE.
People made insane maps with sky scrapers or huge platforms in the sky.
Man when in far cry 3 they removed that I was pissed... why???
That was the most unique selling point for me, I don’t know any other console game where you could create dynamic maps with multi passenger vehicles everywhere and incredible terrain.
They really need to make that a feature again and actually push it as a selling point, it would give them such a popular gameplay attraction.
