"Through an oversimplification of systems compared to previous entries in the franchise, everything in Far Cry 6 feels too safe," writes Luke Lawrie. "There isn’t any challenge to the combat, the exploration is mindless and the story that unfolds is completely unsatisfying."
Following a series of repetitive games, a formulaic approach, and a disappointing last entry, the Far Cry series has been run into the ground.
The trouble with most criticisms of this franchise is that they insist Far Cry 3 was the best game, but the things they claim to hate about the franchise are all the elements that 3 introduced.
Ubisoft gets a lot of hate for their content filling of maps. Personally I enjoy the mechanic when i play an open world game I like revealing hte entire map and doing all the side mission stuff before i go into main missions. Far Cry and the RPG AC maps where a joy to play.
Far Cry 2 was soo unique ... it was ahead of its time and is often misunderstood (thank you Clint Hocking, can't wait for his next game Assassins Creed Hexe)
(yes, FC2 was a departure from from FC1, so in strictest sense, Crysis 1 & 3 are the truer successors)
I actually enjoyed Far Cry 5 and New Dawn. Far Cry 6 was a joke. It was a step backwards in every way. That was probably the worst Far Cry I have ever played.
Far Cry debuted on March 23, 2004, meaning that next week, it will have been 20 years since Jack Carver first washed up on the shore of a tropical paradise teeming with hostile mercenaries.
I'd love a far cry pack with the original PC game (not the half assed port on ps360) instincts, predator even a port of far cry 2 to modern consoles back when these games had their own identity and weren't far cry 3 cut and pastel
Luke Ross's Far Cry 6 VR Mod is now available through his Patreon, adding 6DOF support and head aiming, but no motion controls.
Oh wow, seems abit harsh. The trailers looked quite interesting, even if a little similar to the previous games.
Personally haven't enjoyed a Farcry since Farcry 3 just because the maps became too big and travelling around became a chore.
Even if it was the same as the previous version with different graphics it should still get more than 7/10. Clickbait score imo. From what I've seen it seems like its a great game with improvements from the previous games.
Everything about this article screams "edgy low score for shocks and clicks"
I’m sorry but this is ridiculous to give a game like this a score of 4.5/10.
In all honesty, it was a solid review.
I try to actually read the ones whose score I find questionable.
He made some good points, if accurate. Haven't played the game, myself.
That said, even then, the site has a 4.5 sitting at "mediocre" status.
Were his words mine, I would at least be giving it a 6.
A 4.5/10, to me, sounds like a fairly broken title with nothing much to offer. I wouldn't say that here. A 4.5 pretty much says you don't want to touch it, but a lot of the review says otherwise.
I always say opinions are just that; opinions. But when the actual in-depth review doesn't seem to add up to the score, I feel the need to say so.
