...Shame It Was Sold As A Stand-Alone Game (Far Cry New Dawn Review)
Рет қаралды 204,345
5 жыл бұрынI was a big fan of Far Cry 5, but its season pass was a huge disappointment. As Ubisoft continue to spank the Far Cry IP with annualized releases, a truly compelling DLC offering would have helped buttress the brand for the future. Had New Dawn released as a DLC, everyone would be singing Ubisoft's praises. Instead, Far Cry New Dawn was forgotten almost as soon as it was released, a shame given that the title deserves more recognition than that.

I loved New Dawn but no doubt some of that had to do with me skipping the last two entries into the Franchise. It has really great missions and really fun mechanics that let you be totally overpowered if you put the time in. Personally the grind wasn’t bad at all, I put in ~24 hours and was able to get pretty much all purple and most yellow guns since I did enjoy mastering each outpost. Wish it were longer but you’re right, would have made a much better “DLC.”

Let's just say his opinion on DMC & Bayonetta & most of hardcore action genre games is a complete "ignoramus." If you want an in-depth review for heavy "hardcore" action games, I suggest to wait for "matthewmatosis" or "TheGamingBritShow" instead.

I enjoyed the story for what it was: everything on the nose, with one-dimensional characters voiced by very good voice actors. I had someone to hate, I had something to be marginally intrigued by ... fair enough. Most games without a dialogue system (or at least a voiced protagonist) are going to struggle to do more than that. The shooting mechanics are great, and the first-person stealth works. That's the meat of the game, and if you're enjoying that part, the outposts and the expeditions don't feel like a grind. It's what I was there for anyway. It's "the loop."

13:40 "I was glad to see a conclusion to the Joseph Seed saga". Here, is where I find the core problem with most AAA game releases in general. They don't finish the damn story. They want to boot a franchise, or they want to do a "games for service" model, and decide that not wrapping up a story is a good idea. It really sucks. This happens way too often when playing AAA released games that in fact I don't even enjoy playing most of them anymore because I know I'm going to be disappointed with the ending.

Skill Up good review and I agree New Dawn should have been a FC5 story DLC. Second, at time stamp 22:05 you showed the weapon list with all the guns you did not obtain by the end of the story and said you didn't have the guns with the "little hammer" over it. Those are the guns you have the items to craft, so all you had to do was craft, not pay real world money for and you would have had a lot more of the guns. The few guns that don't have the "little hammer" or you do not own means you have some of the crafting items but still have to get some more. Then you can craft those guns too.

I actually liked FCND way more than FC5. Everyone keeps praising the story in FC5, but I thought it left so much unexplained. John Seed could somehow foresee that the world would collapse in nuclear annihilation? Okay, but why the violent uprising? Why try to kill everyone in the county? What was the motivation for that? The formulaic setup of each region also really bothered me in that game. Clear outposts etc until you reach a certain threshold and suddenly they can easily capture you with bliss darts without any effort and you have to escape from their different compounds. This happens 6-7 times without them just outright killing you. Come on. There is also almost zero backstory. Remember those short flashbacks in FCND where you got a glimpse of different characters past? They weren't much but I thought they brought some depth to their motivations that was sorely missing in FC5. I also really liked the tier system with the guns. It added a sense of progression in classic RPG style although I can see why that aspect could rub some people the wrong way. The pricing of the game was however way off. It should definitely have been $20 either if it was a DLC or standalone game.

I thought it was great that for Farcry 5 they dropped you in middle of nowhere at start with no instructions so that you can go anywhere you like and nothing is gated to you I'm not sure why they decided to axe this by imposing a system counter to the best thing about Farcry 5.

Yeah. Sorry to the devs who worked on the game, but I really hope it tanked hard so that Ubisoft get a clear message to never put that crap in a FC game again.

I'm guessing the companion system is still absolutely broken like it was in FC5. For a game that really tried to push me on having companions that feature was absolutely a mess

Best Far Cry DLC is Blood Dragon. Cheap and fun as hell, and definitely captured that 80's action movie thing you were talking about.

The game retailed for the same price as most meaty dlc's without needing to buy Farcry 5, for those who didn't want it. What's the problem?

I had to pause after a minute. Far Cry is the best fps series out right now. Nothing boring at all. Tell me another fps game where I can climb and repel mountains, fly choppers, stealth kill, go loud with guns or a vehicle? And the companions are more diverse and optional. You should be on your knees thanking Ubisoft!

Im one of those people that like this yearly FC games. I dont want any big changes. Assasins Creed is a great game but i rly didnt like the changes. I love that FarCry is always almost the same. I can turn off my brain and just have a fun time for 10-30 Hours.

Well, if you waited 6 weeks, it WAS $20 DLC. For that price, I thought it was a great deal. I thought the expeditions were great. The maps were excellent, and it was a great break from Hope County. Stealth killing 20 enemies on a huge map, versus 6 at an outpost is heaven for a stealth player like me. SkillUp has the same continued Ubisoft frustration that I have. They always make games that SEEM to be on the cusp of something special. Yet they always disappoint. They seem content making mediocre games often, instead of investing time and money to make something truly great. Personally, I loved Joseph Seed. I wanted more of him in the last game. The premise for FC5 was one of the best ideas for a game I’ve ever heard. They really blew it with developing the characters though.

If these companies are going to have so many cutscenes that try to ape the look of Hollywood productions, they need to have someone focused on doing correct subtitles. It completely blows the pacing of the scene when it's not done properly.

They had a perfect chance to make a post apocalyptic sequel to Far Cry 5 to finish Seeds story. They gave us this instead.

I Loved Every Second of New Dawn. Up there with Metro Exodus For Me. My Love for Games came from Fallout 3 ( 560 + hours of pure Wonder ) This reminded me of that and I got lost in it all. Instead of dead greens and browns, Lush Coulors like the upcoming Rage, it was so Refreshing. Post Apocolypse was an awesome Setting. One of my Favorites this Year alongside Exodus even 100%'d it I cared that much. Great Experience I recommend it even if you haven't played a Far Cry but love Post Apocolypse.

I think that new dawn was too big for a dlc and too small for a stand-alone game but it would have made for a PERFECT EXPANSION to far cry 5

It's on sale for xbox one currently, 20 bucks is totally worth it. I have enjoyed it immensely at this price tag. But I'd have never bought it for the full price. With the sale price and the amount of content and fun found therein, it harkens back to the glory days of yesteryear, when a 20 add-on for a game was well worth the investment more often than not.

You have to pay 40$ to be able to kill Joseph Seed, and by the time you actually can kill him you don't even want to... Fuck you Ubisoft, what happened to Earl? He was the only person i gave a damn in Far Cry 5.
