"When it comes to video game villains, the Far Cry franchise knows how to put on a show. The problem is the shows do not last very long."
GF365: "Among all the well-received and beloved video games, there are some that are horrendous. Here are our picks for the worst big budget games released since 2010."
Anthem; I'd forgotten that game existed. I remember thinking the trailer was BS though; turns out I was right.
"Worst big budget games" and immediately lists Genshin Impact, a game that has $4 billion in revenue.
I havent played Genshin Impact and Mafia 3 was alright. The rest though I kind of agree with.
I loved the 1st Kane and Lynch and I could not understand how the 2nd game was as bad as it was.
Xbox Series X's FPS Boost is game-changing when it works and disappointing when it doesn't. While frame rates are often consistent, many titles make concerning sacrifices. This lost compiles 20 FPS Boost games that make major sacrifices, detailing their drawbacks.
As someone with the Series S, it makes more of an impact there than on the X. From what i have seen, if the game already supported One X enhancements, then its best to just let it be on the Series X.
Great to have options I’ve gone back to playing dragon age inquisition and it runs superbly. Good article though detailing differences.
Wow, these downplaying articles are rife this week in the lead up to E3.
Funny how it is only this week these articles are surfacing, even though we knew about Series X not running upgrades from Xbox One X BC games months ago. As per article :-
"If a game doesn't run at a stable performance level, the Microsoft backwards-compatibility team can't adjust game settings or resolution to best reach the target frame rate."
Well yeah, you can not change some other developers game code, only they can enhance their own game via next-gen patches.
There is even one now on how Gamepass for PC is "broken".
Wonder what we will see next? We have had Xbox not making any money on any console ever, gamepass for PC is broken, FPS boost has lackluster upgrades, xbox division is being ran in the red at a consistent loss, gamepass has never been profitable, all in the lead up to Xbox and Bethesda's E3 showing.
Funny times, roll on E3 for me, can't wait.
In short :-
All 20 games on the list, are running at Xbox One resolution with FPS boost enabled, instead of the Xbox One X enhanced versions resolution.
This is a known issue, even when running the same games through the BC program.
Far Cry is one of the kings of the modern-day open-world, and we have ranked all of the entries from worst to best.
Played them all except Primal, but I think Farcry 5 really is the best for everything except story, which I didn't like due to the "forced" sections which screwed up the flow. The shooting was excellent and the vehicle (plane and everything else) was great. The graphics were very good too.
I enjoyed 4, but didn't buy the others because I was worried that they would be reskins of whatever time they were made.
I dont think theyve done better since 3. 4 & 5 were great. Blood Dragon was fantastic and deserves a full game sequel tbh. Make it Far Cry on Saints Row steroids.
The story in Far Cry 5 was a joke, the entire game was just different characters capturing you and forcing you to listen to long, poorly written monologues. Only the Father was interesting, the other random characters in his cult were awful. In Far Cry 4 Pagan Minh was over the top and so was Vaas in 3. The writers at ubisoft just aren't that good. For Honor, Wildlands, Division etc. all have worthless stories too.
Ya a few bad trends like pay-to-win microtransactions and RPG elements which turn enemies and immersion into bullet sponges and leveling. Yikes.
i liked Vaas but unfortunately he was very short lived and boy was i disappointed with the boss "fights" in that game. Only far cry game i've ever played too. it was fun, but the newer ones never peeked my interest after the 3rd. they all look a bit same-ish in a not so good way.
To each their own i guess
This franchise needs a reinvention of the formula just like God of War did. People are tire of the same old formula.
