deanb Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Yeeha. Killing white american Christians. It's actually kinda funny that people have been calling it unpatriotic. It's made by a Canadian studio owned by a French company. It'll be interesting to see if it's just Far Cry 3/4 placed in USA or if they'll have maybe a bit more to it, some modernisations based on more recent open world developments rather than the usual "radio tower map unlocks" expected atm from Ubisoft open-world games. (IIRC with W_D2 there is no towers to unlock, you just drive by places and hey you get a fast travel point). They also have some character trailers too.

Mister Jack Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Boy, it is really easy to trigger Trump supporters, isn't it? I skipped over Primal and told myself I was tired of Far Cry but a setting like this might actually make me come back, especially if there's true campaign co-op this time.

deanb Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 I want to get Primal at some point, it looks like a pretty game, though not totally up for paying much for a neolithic reskin of Far Cry 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, I haven't been all that interested in the series recently but this direction is interesting enough that I might actually jump in. I was pretty much sold right away on the first piece of art they released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 I feel that Ubisoft is kind of kicking a big hornet nest here but yeah, it's an interesting direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 It should be said that development started four years ago, before all this Trump and alt right nonsense even started. Still, I think the inevitable controversy could end up actually helping the game's sales in the end. It wouldn't be the first time that's happened.

deanb Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 It's hardly like armed cults and fundamental Christians are only a thing from the last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Yeah, this is likely just a happy accident, I doubt it was intended to be so topical. Besides, this seems to be leaning on the cult angle more than anything else. It's almost like the type of people that would get triggered by this are fucking idiots or something! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturnine Tenshi Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 I'm not a big Far Cry guy, but I like the setting. Mostly worried about the dog. Whether it's a mandatory companion or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted August 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 A walk through with the Dog that so concerned Tenshi (seems it's just a recruit, much like companions in FO, not always required). Also a dogfight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted July 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 So the big theory is that's Vaas. So could be a prequel, or maybe he ain't as dead as we made him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 As someone who has tried and bounced off of Far Cry 1, 2, and 3, is there anything in the later iterations that is likely to draw me in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted July 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Well Far Cry 1 is purely Crytek so practically its own thing. Far Cry 2 has some really good ideas but terrible implementations and is Ubisofts fist Far Cry game (so the usual Ubi caveat applies in pretty much the "good ideas,, bad polish. Next one nails it". See Watch_Dogs and Assassins Creed as well). Far Cry 3 is pretty much the template for the following games, so if you bounced off it there, then you'll bounce off 4, Primal, 5 n n New Dawn. And likely 6 as well. It's mostly standard Ubi open world fare of towers around the map, there's bad guys with bases to take down, and animals to hunt to upgrade your gear, and then some minor additions. Like Far Cry: New Dawn there's supply runs, basically sub-maps you go to for smaller missions. They were kinda neat. I swear drones got added in too. Oh and Blood Dragon, Primal, New Dawn are basically expandalones of the previous game. (though New Dawn was the most obvious in using the same map as it's officially set some years later in the same location). Blood Dragon is an alt-reality, and Primal is the same region thousands of years prior. I really quite like the formula. Just hit me just right. Though a lot of it is stealth-archer. Also being an utter dick that spots a tiger in a cage, shooting open the cage and letting that just fuck everyone up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Maybe I should give 3 another shot. It might just have been one of those things where I wasn't in quite the right mood for it when I tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted July 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Maybe jump in with 4? Villain is quite a bit more interesting (you've probably seen the alt-ending that you can get if you just do as you're told, rather than follow the games indicator arrows). New Dawn goes for cheap quite often, and due to the expandalone nature is a fair chunk smaller than the main games. And the newest, so the most up-to-date in terms of game mechanics. Plus a fair bit of Die Antword music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Blood Dragon has been my favourite, it's so ridiculously over the top, I love it, plus, that 80s laser-neon aesthetic is awesome. \m/ \m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted July 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Blood Dragon is fab, but by far the outlier in terms of general gameplay of the Far Cry games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Jack Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 I've actually heard New Dawn is not very good, at least compared to other Far Cry games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
