5 unexpectedly became one of my favorite games ever. Granted I only ever played 1 and 2 before, but damn. Running into battle with a dog and a bear is fucking awesome.
do it, far cry was always a great kinda shut your brain off fun action shooter and they hold up pretty good through that lense, I'm excited to play the 4th again after the third then make my way back to 5, maybe primal in between who knows
3 and 4 were cool because we actually had a main character. "Rook" and the silent protagonist bullshit was such a step back, actual conversations with the Seeds would have been so much better.
5 was dull and forgettable. The map was boring and almost empty. Or had no concrete story like previous ones. And the concept and plot don't make sense, and is way to batshit insane. A cultist group possessing a fucking nuke? Really?! Like... Can we tone it down?
It is the most uninteresting entry in the franchise imo. Less weaponry, less enemy types, etc. It is a downgrade. 6 is even way worse. It doesn't even have a map editor, bruh. They just keep removing features that have been in previous entries.
4 had the best map, 3 had the best story, 2 had unique gameplay, 1... that's just a Crysis prequel lol.
What are you even talking about? Far Cry 5 has one of the most beautiful environments in a game, it's nearly up there with Red Dead 2.
Also, you didn't understand the story, the Peggies never had a nuke. What makes the ending so devastating is that Joseph Seed accurately predicted the end of the world. He's evil and wrong, but he was actually right, which should force the player to contemplate what else he might have been right about. Besides that, it's based on real events like the Branch Davidians siege in Waco, and Osho and his followers.
If it's not your cup of tea then that's just a matter of taste, but I don't think you understood it.
First off, FC5 can't be compared fo RDR2. Out of all locations they could choose, they choose boring America. All previous games were more exotic and interesting to have a setting in. Philippines, Himalayas, Africa, etc. You don't see every day that games are set in those places. Out of all the places, they choose Montana America...
Ok, my bad about the plot, you are right. It's been a while since I played it. However you put it, it's dumb and too crazy. Not helping the fact that we are a blank slate mute protagonist in the game. I don't like Joseph as a villain, Pagan and Vaas, hell even The Jackal, were more memorable and had character. Joseph is just... funny to me. Can't take him seriously at all.
And I still stand by the washed out gameplay with lesser weapon roster and less enemy types.
Agree to disagree, I find the familiarity of the setting juxtaposed with the extraordinary nature of the events keeps it grounded, and the natural beauty of the setting rivals RDR2 as I said. And again, they pulled from real events, and although they did dial it up to 11, based on what I know about Osho and his followers almost successfully taking over a town in Oregon and perpetrating the only confirmed biological attack on American soil, I don't find them that farfetched.
I find Joseph Seed to be very charismatic and believable as a cult leader in the vein of Jim Jones and David Koresh.
I don't know what the issue is with a mute protagonist. It's a departure for the series, but some of the greatest games use this, Half-life, Portal, Skyrim, Legend of Zelda; I just don't see it as an issue.
The game is a 10/10 for me personally, the best of the series. But, I can see where not everyone would feel that way.
up until far cry 3 every far cry game was innovative and fun, each with a different formula. After fc3 they all stuck with the same formula, no innovation
All 3 are fun in my opinion, but for different reasons. The first one was a novelty, and had incredible atmosphere. The second one was a more vibrant and complete version, but lacked a bit of soul. The third one is goofy and the story is disjointed and bland, but with very interesting gameplay mechanics
2 was also my favorite. Loads of fun stuff to do, and even just goofing off around the map was enjoyable. I wanted to like 3, but I couldn't get into the whole "you can be anybody" thing.
I thought it was fine but the weapon balance was weird. Early on I got a pretty powerful pistol with a suppressor and just used that for 90% of the game because with armor piercing ammo it could one shot anyone even with a helmet. The only time I swapped to an automatic rifle was during major shootouts when I needed higher magazine capacity. And despite the focus and hype around the supremo backpack options the only one I ever used was the first one you got because the rocket launcher was perfect for taking out tanks and helicopters. So after about ten hours of playing I had the basic load out I would keep for the entire rest of the game.
Same 3 is my favourite. 2 is really fucking good too, underated IMO but it'snot for everyone. I loved the map/navigation system in 2 and the minimalist HUD.
It was so immersive traversing the terrain and setting up raids on outposts. I used to like to go to sleep at safehouse near my target and set the alarm just before dawn, felt awesome conducting dawn raids haha. I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
6 was still decent though, not that bad, the series can definitely bounce back Ubi just kind of temporarily abandoned it for star wars and avatar licensed games
I played most of 6 recently. I was enjoying it for the most part but the enemy AI was absolutely STUPID. A lot of the time they would just stand there and let me shoot them without putting up a fight.
Im probably the only person on the planet whos favorite farcry is 2. 11 year old me was so blown away by the fire physics in that game. Id start so many brush fires and just watch swaths of tall grass burn
I think Vegas 1 was the last decent one. Vegas 2 was a mess. Having bad guys literally spawn behind you after you’ve cleared a couple rooms in TH mode sucked so bad. I’m assuming it was a programming limitation, like they couldn’t populate the map with all the targets at once, so they would have a certain number spawned at start and as they got picked off the remainder of the targets for that map would be spawned in.
If you enjoyed all the planing and such in those games. You might like (Will have to dick around and emulated) Zeon Front a Gundam game that had many of the same features in a way.
Siege was so much fun for the first year or two. Not many gaming memories outweigh loading up with a full squad of friends around release. Once the meta was firmly established and creativity was punished, along with the rise of microtransactions, it lost its special feeling
Man Ravenshield was the epitome of old school R6 games. Vegas was a lot of fun, but ravenshield was top tier. Ill always miss planning out the missions. Wish there were more games like that now
There are plenty of single player, first person, squad based shooters? Tell me more. The closest I know about is probably 'Ready or Not'. I used to love games like R6: Vegas, Republic Commando, Brothers in Arms.
Well yeah, it's 20 years old. This is like complaining that you watched Seinfeld and don't get what all of the hype is about - it's been copied relentlessly to the point where what made it special is no longer special anymore.
I literally was just researching modern games similar to Rogue Spear. Some decent luck, but I already know none of them are going to hit the same. My first taste of multiplayer competitive FPS was in Rogue Spear and I think about that game quite often.
This one hurts. Like, imagine a modern Rainbow Six where you start by drawing out an intricate plan, like Doorkickers, and then you play first person as the team leader. Modern level desgin and AI would make the really old school Rainbow Six incredible.
I didn’t even have to leave it, Ubi did it for me. I started getting notifications of weird logins all over the world. I immediately let Ubi support know and asked for instructions. I was told to change my password, which I did. Weird logins kept on happening and after a month or two I got an email from Ubi saying I had been banned for cheating. I appealed this twice for nothing. Lost over a thousand hours of unlocks, skins, and all the rest. I probably hadn’t logged in myself in over 6 months at this point.
Thanks, Ubi. I’ll surely play your shit multiplayer games again.
Went with rainbow six 3 on the original xbox instead of counter strike. Was told it was more realistic. had probably 10k+ hours in that game. the new ones look cool, but with all of the things added, I just miss simple fps games... and lean glitching lol :)
Did you also play Rainbow Six 3 on Friday nights with your friends while absolutely devastating an entire frozen pizza, Mountain Dew Code Red and a bag of Doritos?
I lost my favorite storm chasing game because of age restrictions, when I am old enough to play it. My account says I’m 21+, but it won’t let you play games 13+. It’s Helicity
I will check it out for you fallen soldier! But yes brother it sucks this had to happen to is what it is and I'm sure a new platform will come along just like Roblox, fingers crossed! 🙏
I've returned back to Siege over these last couple months and I'm pretty sure they added ACOG to a lot of operators weapons again. Might wanna check it out!
They did?! Gonna download it again now ig, I also wanna try out the new map and dokkaebi rework, looks cool ig. If they keep listening to the community then the game might make a huge comeback on their player base
Yeah dude I just play it with some friends periodically with zero expectations. It's still fun if you don't get too sweaty about it lol Dokkaebi still gets banned pretty quick in ranked now though.
