Far Cry 6 Proves That the Franchise Is in Desperate Need of Reinvention

Far Cry 6 is another competent installment in Ubisoft's long-running franchise, but the game's lack of growth shows the franchise is stuck in a rut.

[hombreacabado]

all of the triple a sequels that come out yearly and have added nothing in terms of game play and story worth playing are in need of a major reinvention. that goes for asscreed call of duty far cry battlefield and all the rest where you know its more of a cash grab rather than the release of a worth while game.

The whole narrative since Far Cry 6 came out is that the formula is starting to get repetitive. And I'm sure there's true to that, but also I feel this game was just sloppily made. Far Cry 5 and even New Dawn were way more enjoyable than this in my opinion. It's more than just the formula getting stale, they didn't put nearly the same effort into crafting Far Cry 6 as they did with Far Cry 5. With Far Cry 6, I just find myself confused all the time, the AI is bad and sometimes buggy, I like trying to be stealthy but this game makes it impossible. Seems like I always end up in random wild shootouts with enemies seemly appearing out of nowhere and shooting me from all directions. This game was just badly made and it's a shame because I do like the setting and visually it looks pretty cool.

Hmmm... total redistribution of the perks system both hidden and thought the gui.
New ways to get vehicles and vehicles with new abilities to the series.
New ways to detect, locate, disable, so many easter egg abilities
New Guerrilla operations Missions for local resource procurement
And gee... the continuation post game Insurgency? I mean come on.

I think it went up a notch just fine and there absolutely is more to that list.

Reinvention? It's Far Cry. We are here for the Far Cry and like an old Namco Time Crisis game, each one and its spin off in-between gets a little tweak and new addition. This game got a huge one. Somehow you missed it.

Have to agree with you. There's been some great additions to make this game different in a good way. One of the main things I've noticed is that everything that you do & see within the world seems to have meaning. Its a little hard to explain in words but it feels like the world isn't just made up and things placed in random spots or exploration realy pays off, enemies AI is much better within this world too.

Having a blast. I'll admit that I swing from game to game and don't just play it straight through from end to end but every time I do load it up I'm straight back into the action and having fun.
Well, that it till I face off with a tank whilst I'm on foot. I still haven't worked out how to take it down efficiently yet as I've usually fired off my rockets at the overhead chopper and it's always recharging lol.

It's a good game with alot if fun to be had within it.

Doubt that Ubisoft cares. On to the next Far Cry copypasta.

[Rachel_Alucard]

The whole company and its copy paste formula needs reinvention.

[HankHill]

It'll never change until the sheep stop buying Ubisoft's repetitive games.

This. Last time Assassin's Creed took a hit to sales, they stepped back and took some time to make some changes, mostly for the better.

I liked FC5, and expected more of the same, which is actually what I got, but for some reason I just couldn't wait for it to end. It was dire.

[anast]

It's color by numbers cheaply done entertainment. They have been doing this for years because journos give them tens without even playing the game that most people buy.

[dbcoops]

Is it? I actually liked the game.

[PCgamer98]

Ascreed is still pretty fun. I love the mercs/bounty system, raids, ship battles, collecting secret gears, etc... I do agree that they also need to trim down a lot of unnecessary things and repetitive side missions because crap like this wear you off eventually.

[Inverno]

Everything from Ubi is in desperate need of reinvention, and some serious time off.

[Iltapalanyymi]

More like the whole company needs reinvention. Every AC game they shit out is the same and the vast majority of their games are bland and uninspiring.
