That, and many youtubers got to play AC:Valhalla and Watchdogs and the feedback seems rather positive. After this really dry spring and summer, the end of the year and the beginning of the 21' starts to look rather promissing when comes to Ubi.
Trouble with Far Cry, and Ubisoft in general is they keep churning out the same game in different environments. These days I get bored long before the end so I think they are only worth getting in a sale for under a tenner. I saw Far Cry 5 is £7.49 on epic store at the moment, even at that price I'm hesitant to buy it. Probably will though.
I really miss the Trigens. They really added a bit of spice.
Be prepared for a horrendous amount of cutscenes with actors spouting close up moody and utterly pointless dialogues into camera. I liked the game...hated the inevitable cutscenes that refused to let you have fun before they interrupted the flow at set points making them unavoidable.
They took a good game and ruined it.
Might give it a miss then, even at £7.49, maybe when it gets under a fiver
First Far Cry got a bit silly at the end, but the early encounters with Trigens when you could hear them growling in the bushes where great. I still think the first one is the best one, even though it's not as open as the others
I loved the first, 2nd was excellent as well (although it gave me serious motion sickeness with sprinting), Havn't finished 3 yet and not got any othes!! So many games so little time!
I never finished 3 or 4. They get boring after a while. In fact I got bored with 4 only a few hours in. That's why I'm not prepared to pay more than a few quid for another one. Other Companies such as Rockstar or Bethesda seem to be able to keep their open world games interesting for longer (to me anyway)
I think the Ubisoft aproach of filling the map with icons, most of which don't really add anything, doesn't really work for me. Exploring is more interesting if there's something to explore rather than just ticking off an icon

The second island on FC3 was such a let-down for me, and really cried out for Trigens to mix things up.
I really like the antagonists in FC4 - Pagan Min is waspishly amusing and Yogi and Reggie are great fun too. Sabal and Amita I found really tedious, and in the end I would have sided with Min and done for both of the mewling brats!
The unskippable cut-scenes in FC5 are tedious beyond belief, the 'kidnapped from your hellicopter' moments just stupid, and spawn/despawn distances/frequency utterly rediculous - turn your back on a jeep and it's gone. That said, I'm very pleased that 'tower-misery' has been left behind!

Played all Far Cry games up to 4th, and enjoyed em tremendously. FC4 especially, just stunning locations, well written characters and crazy wildlife.
Didn't pick up the fifth one due to silly concept of redneck cult *rolls eyes, and the New Dawn looks just meh.
Definitely eyeballing the new one as from the little that I saw, it could be interesting.

I really must get round to finishing off FC3 and trying 4.......sounds like I'll defo give 5 a miss, unskippable cutscenes WTH?!!
What put me off from buying it I read in reviews is the story being forced down your throat, even if you skip and avoid story missions you get tranqualized (Yes even while in your helicopter) and taken into bad un skippable bad custscenetopia. Something all reviews complained about (As people here already pointed out).
Also as pointed out above, Ubisoft seem to have the same generic play book lately. Large open world which consists of dozens of icons for the same handful of activities. No sense of exploration or mystery. Its time to grow and innovate. That stuff just gets stale after you've seen it for a decade.
Another launcher, generic approach and forced garbage stories... Until Ubi can show they've changed not really interested in anything they bring to the table.
Based on a an Interview with the actor who plays the Villain its the Best Game since sliced Bread.https://www.facebook.com/groups/195...3¬if_t=feedback_reaction_generic&ref=notif

Money on yet another game with some bare bones hunting/survival mechanics, some kind of animal pet and to top it off claiming/clearing outposts/towers.....
Wait....
I think I accidentally decribed assassin's creed as well. Just with less stabby stab. Good news is, I am sure it will be a grand open world with tons of pointless collectables.
I swear ubisoft is absolutely terrified of new ideas.

While I agree fully and it's quite funny, I'd also like to add that for people who love this kind of experience (me), it's quite alright. I think the old AC fans are a bit peevish about the 180 that the games made with Origins and Odyssey, making them "a FarCry with swords", but honestly, it's one of the best open world systems out there. I very much prefer it to the open worlds with more inovative mechanics that are quite barren aside from that.
Or is Far Cry just Assassin's Creed with guns? Hey but more power to the people that enjoy it. Best and most entertaining imho of each were Blood Dragon and Black Flag.
Giant maps filled same-y activities from the past 3-5 games just doesn't do it for me. Probably the same reason ED/NMS lost its appeal for me. Once you realize that it is just a giant randomized galaxy filled with a handful of different activities. All sense of wonder just evaporates to repeatables with set dressing.
Some people love it, able to create head cannon or stories to inject life into an otherwise predictable game. I am somewhat envious of people with that ability.
You know, I have a friend who is a game developer. The sad thing about his existence is that he knows how the games are made and therefore when he looks at a game, he only sees the code, the engine and the mechanics. And he can't play and enjoy games because of this.
It's like if you looked at a beautiful woman and instead of just that - a beautiful woman - you'd see a collection of intestines, bones, bad thoughts and farts.
You can either admire a painting, or study the quality of the canvas and every stroke of the brush.
Neither view is technically incorrect. But you can only choose to see one or the other and your experience will depend on it.
In other words, in case of ED, AC or any other game - you can either play the game or game the mechanics. One is fun, one isn't.

I read something here https://whenwill.net/far-cry-6-release-date/ and it is really coming on next february.
They release the same game every year, after far cry 3, i couldn't see any difference in the far cry series that would affect the players.
It is really a pity that for financial reasons, they make games like mod on the same game engine and ask for $ 60-70 money.
