Anyone getting Far Cry 6?

FC3 was an OK game, with a mess of a story. Then FC4 was only a cash grab re-hash of 3, but I guess including elephants excited angry joe so it sold well.

FC5 had no reason to exist, it was Ghost Recon Wildldands, only was worse in every aspect than that. And it had a terrible annoying story again, even worse than FC3. Then New Dawn came out and it included A-RPG and looter shooter mechanics, which ruined what little fun FC5 had, so that was a complete bust.

So no, I’m not getting FC6, maybe a year after release at a deep discount if reviews are favorable.

That’s rather unlikely.

I see I’ve posted here before, I grabbed Far Cry 5 for really cheap from Ps store. I never had any interest as the setting of the story didn’t feel exotic as the previous ones.

Now that I’ve played for a couple days, it still is the Far Cry I remembered. I’ve kinda outgrown FPS games and I loved FC3 and 4 but probably wouldn’t love them as much if I played them now. There are some problems with FC 5 which I think makes it worse than the previous mentioned:

1. The setting. Going from exotic places like the jungles of  Rook Islands and the Himalayan vibes of Kyrat to just a random farm county in America is just not exciting in any way. No elephants, rhinos,  komodo dragons and other exotic animals, but deer, bears and dogs. The setting and villain are what makes Far Cry games interesting, Hope Country is a big downgrade.

2. The main character. FPS main characters often are bland, and in a game where you customize your character he becomes even more bland. Jason Brody from 3 was an obnoxious young american who threw cringy and unfunny pop culture references, but that was his personality. The spoiled and obnoxious white dude stereotype.
Ajay Ghale from 4 was super interesting, a Kyrat native growing up in America who then goes back to his home country. He had a reason to be there and it fel exciting.

The MC of 5 is just a literally no name american cop who doesn’t speak. Yawn.

I can’t say much about Joseph Seed the main antagonist, as I haven’t seem him much yet. I’ve heard good things about him but he needs a lot to outperform Vaas and Pagan Min.

The cult serting is pretty fun tho, I enjoy it a lot. Let’s see where this is going from here on.

never played any of them… everytime i see someone playing it online, i’m kinda “meh”… and it looked like a game for kids (might be wrong ofc).

But the one where the bad guy looks like jason momoa almost got my attention, but then I bought the witcher and never looked back.

I really wanted to. I’ve been screwed by Screwbisoft one too many times however.
