Remember in AC Unity where you could parkour through windows and run through what felt like hundreds of buildings to evade detection? How those buildings would sometimes have NPCs and detailed interiors? How the streets were absolutely packed? We saw Ubisoft make a proper, mind blowing city with buildings to real life scale back in 2014. And you’re telling me they didn’t have the resources to make the most barebones interiors for buildings and sprinkle some more enemies in? Not even for just the capital city? The final fortress of the nation?

I guess your perspective comes from a first world country. You wouldn't know. I replayed Far Cry 5 coop with a friend and had to close it as it was extremely boring. Far Cry 6, yeah sure, the interactions with the villain weren't like Seed but that doesn't mean the villain was bad. FC4 was OK-ish. FC3 and FC2 were absolutely brilliant. Far Cry 6 had stunning graphics, one of the absolutely best map/level designs. You don't really need interiors and dumb NPCs everywhere. The city was under a lockdown by a dictator. I honestly don't know why you'd want a city with NPCs which conflicts with the plot. Maybe play another game I guess. GTA for instance.

@@hasnaindev I've loved the series ever since I played 2 I always thought 3 had the best narrative and story 4 was just more of the same but with less interesting characters 5 initially I didn't think too highly of it at first I just thought it was more of the same as 4 but my 2nd playthrough on new game+ made me think that 5 is the epitome of what an open world game should be you play through a prologue to establish the characters, setting, and tone then you played a small tutorial island to get you in the gameplay loop and then the whole map opens up and you get to decide what you wanna do next and you get to tackle each mission in the way you wanted with new game+ I had all the abilities and weapons unlocked so the amount of creative ways I could handle each situation felt limitless and while the weapon roster is smaller in 5 each weapon had pros and cons to them so no gun felt obsolete compared to another on top of that the progression system in how you upgrade your character was also good you would get practically rewarded for playing how you wanted to play like getting so many stealth kills will reward you with a skill point or getting so many headshots with a gun will also grant you a skill point, running enemies over with a car, using explosive, hell even fishing and hunting would reward you with skill points so it catered to the way you wanted to play without hindering you I think I recalled maybe a couple of missions forcing you to use stealth but other than that there was no limit in how you can approach each encounter which is why I was so excited for 6 I just wanted them to take what was so good about 5 and make it better like why were melee weapons taken out why not add bladed weapons and chuck machetes at dudes like how you could throw a bat at someone in 5 it was so much fun. I also wasn't a fan of how 6 tries to introduce "RPG" mechanics by making all your skills be tied to your gear like why do I have to wear a certain pair of gloves in order to do the sidearm pistol takedown that's not an RPG mechanic you're equipping a load out like it's call of duty but it combats itself by having spongy enemies with health bars and different ammo types for different armor but that fell short because literally if you equip every gun with armor piercing ammo it makes all the other ammo types trivial as I can just shoot everyone in the head with a sniper from a distance and call it a day for the graphics 5 used the Dunia engine which I believe is a modded version of the crytek engine and graphically 5 damn near looks photo realistic in some spots and so did 6 which is what I liked about 6 I liked the setting and portrayal of the cuban/Spanish culture and 6 isn't inherently a bad game its just not a good far cry game for me but if you like 6 than more power to you I really wanted to like 6 a lot more than I did but after playing I just went back to 5 and had way more fun

One thing they succeed at is make enemy faction i want to be part of just because they always succedd to make factions you are meant to join so stupid and annoying i want to kill them all instead. They done it in FarCry 4 and now in this. In neither you get the choice to joing the other side properly, at best a secret ending where you do in 4 and just leave after being part of those fools and hear them being dead over the radio. Why they always chicken out from giving people full opposing side campaign? It hardly needs any effort given how basic Far Cry gameplay loop is...

it's also delusionally wrong. The decision to build 20 hours of story content and frame it with 50 hours of recycled filler wasn't made out of necessity. It was made based on the idea that a minimum return on the investment could be expected, and every penny spent providing more than what the market will respond to is a penny that someone could have in their own pocket. The analysts predict that filler sells just well enough to increase the value of the next big hit. You don't want every game to be better than the last, otherwise you lose money over time. You want people to spend as much money as possible on as little effort as possible, that way when you turn around and make a huge investment in the next big deal, the anticipation of the company finally redeeming itself can often encourage a dramatic boost in pre-orders and release sales. It's all a game. A game to get you, the consumer, to pretend that what they are selling is a good game experience even when it's objectively terrible, just so that you can root for the underdog to finally break out and succeed. The same game played with the economy that has you pretending that even though you have absolutely no plan, no resources, or a snowball's hope in hell of becoming wealthy, that you might still someday be the break out shot-caller that makes all the decisions and doesn't have to worry about money anymore. It's a very simple and very old psychological trick that works on you because you're a primate. And primates are not that complicated. You can figure out everything you ever need to know about manipulating social primates by watching documentaries on wild apes, and reading Pimp: The Story of My Life by Iceberg Slim. It's all there. And yer all just swallowing the whole mess because you don't have to taste it if you take it in the neck. tl;dr I strongly disagree.

Saboteur is great. I remember the feeling of getting my first (and pretty sure only) silenced machine gun in the game. After missions upon missions of needing to do certain missions loud and run away, I assassinated a collaborator pop star and immediately started running. Then I realised...no red detection. They didn't know where I was. All the grinding, all the saving of points, and I unlocked a weapon that *truly* felt like I was so powerful the game had changed. That was what game progression needs to be. Ubisoft's subtle obsession with feeding players everything they need like babies gets in the way of player-lead game progression.

Not the character, but more that you would fill his role: the adopted child of a ruthless dictator, that breaks away and makes their own path. THAT may have actually given teh game some emotional weight. Vaas got in your head because you're slowly becoming him. Pagan treats you the same way a cool uncle treats you when he catches you shotgunning a beer outside because he basically IS your uncle. This change actually says something. There's weight, tension.

13:15 You can make it up the tower and "knock on Castillo's door" 3 hours in but it is extremely difficult and I haven't seen or heard anyone but my brother and I do it. No matter what you think of, the game blocks you. We tried everything. I could spend hours writing of all the methods. Flying a helicopter at ground level so it doesn't get shot down, then quickly flying up and over checkpoints. Nope no luck. Using every available tool to try and climb the interior of the building. Nope. Glitching ourselves out of bounds? Nope. But ONE method worked. You take the weird hover helicopter thing with one player standing on it and the other flying. You fly as high as you can and as fast at the city as you can and just before the warnings to be shot down, the pilot bails and thats their job done. The player standing on the vehicle surfs it as it slowly glides forward descending towards the city. The vehicle is not piloted so it does not get shot down, and it can drift in any direction while gliding. With many attempts and some luck, it glides close enough to Castillo's tower and the surfing player can jump off it and land on the exterior balcony. The other player can respawn on them and BOOM. You're now in the blocked off endgame area where Castillo is meant to be. You can grab some collectables like a note and maybe kill a couple of enemies. There's not much there but man was it worth it just to troll the game. GG Ubisoft. They tried everything to prevent us but we won. I just edited my comment to fix a minor spelling mistake, which removed Whitelight's heart. This is tragic.

Imagine every time you saw a superhero movie, the movie starts saying that the hero might be just as bad as the villain because he hurt poor evil Timmy and his goons who were mass murders who assaulted women and children. With that being said, the side characters and main characters also gotta be someone you root for against the villains, so that way they are not seen as the same.

The most telling thing about how desperate Ubisoft is with getting people to buy the game is that they revived Vaas. Literally. It's never explained how he survived, he just shows up in the end credits, alive, and in the DLC, also alive, experiencing a come-sleep-trip. The funniest thing is that in the DLC we see him BEING STABED IN THE HEART IN, from: • Side perspective in the memory hotel. By Jason AND Citra. (I'm not sure if that was supposed to be symbolic or Vaas' recalling the events differently. The latter just opens another big can of worms). • From his own POV, that also doesn't make sense. And, again, they never explained that. I'm not against the idea of getting Vaas back as a character in the games' stories, but they didn't even try to explain anything properly. I'm really concerned about the direction the games' stories will lead and what they will be about.

A game set in Africa featuring Afrikaaners, or the Burma Insurgency War would be awesome though! Especially if the game had a crafting mechanic to make 3D weapons and small drones that could drop grenades, just like Ubisoft already did in Watch Dogs 2. So much fun.

It's also a hassle switching back and forth between ammo types with the sniper rifle.

That's funny because i have the complete opposite experience, i find the game quite difficult actually, i got detected a shit ton of time while trying to stealth and i died PLENTY of time, there is an outpost that i literally tried to clear like 15 times and i failed everytime because i get detected they call reinforcement of tanks, and there is 2 waves of it, and i get killed or run out of ammo every single time. I also had a lot of case of the AI being actually quite smart, while in stealth when they see a body that i killed they go back to back and look around scared and go activate the alarm, or once one enemy with a rocket launcher got to a better place than where he was to shoot at me from a high ground and he killed me directly. I really never understand people who say a shooter is too easy, as soon as i have 3 people shooting at me and aiming correctly from different angle, just by the time i figure from where i'm shot, i have lost more than hal of my life. I am a complete casual, like you apparently, but i played quite a lot of FPS on my Serie x or on PC before and i NEVER found a single one too easy, i always struggle and die, so i totally understand why Ubisoft do the way they do, because personally even how it is in this game or in Watch dogs Legion, i don't find it too easy at all, and i very much suppose i am in the majority of casual players, especially if you play on console with a controller where it's complicated to aim correctly. All of this to say that the criticism against "easyness" in games must stop, they are like this for a reason : because most playtesters in the company gave feedback that they found it too difficult/not fun if it's harder, and so the company answers to that feedback, and i fully agree with that, because had this game be even harder than it already is for me, i would have probably not finished it.

I just started playing. Agreed on all counts. It flatlines immediately. It's never been so easy. AP rounds and headshots for 100% of enemies, and an EMP for helicopters. I often make videos about bows, which are normally a one-shot body stealth kill in other games, but the game forces you with the one-shot suppressed AP rifle right away. There's no point.

that's something I kind of appreciated about 5. you can't have a whole arsenal, you can't one shot enemies straight away, you have to rely on stealth and actually having some kind of technique you're not just a one person army right from the start. I tried to play 6 and even I (I generally kind of suck at FPS) was like really? REALLY?

I remember wearing gear that increased my general movement speed multiple times, increased my movement speed after sliding for a generous amount of time and something else helped movement speed to the point i just sprinted to objectives instead of driving. Needless to say i never ended up finishing the campaign and making my movement op is my only memory of the game.

It’s interesting you mention the “deliberately un-fun” (your words and I do agree!) aspects of far cry 2. Far cry 3 did perfectly remove all the barriers to immediate fun and as such is probably the best far cry, but I’ve come to appreciate and even desire the lack of safety (in both character experience and player comfort) in the far cry 2 experience. As far cry has gone further in emphasizing easy and safe fun, it’s abandoned the organic sense of danger unifying the classic far cry sandbox.

I actually hated Farcry 3 on release because it represented to me the dumbing down of the franchise and the replacement of gritty realism with arcade cartoonishness. But seriously how many times are two goofball side characters going to inject me with chemicals against my consent?! Not only is it cheesy as all hell but now it’s played out and stale too

I loved FC2 when I first played it years ago back in high school, and every couple of years when I do another play through of it, I appreciate it more and more. The setting and tone alone is in its own class, and it sucks FC just dropped it after one game. I like FC3 well enough, but I find myself disliking it more and more as time goes on, that initial wow factor of Vaas fading as I focus on other details of the game and realize "man, this is boring and lacks personality." What does Rook Island offer me that any other tropical setting in videogames do? Because I can list off a hundred different little details in the environment alone on what FC2's Africa does.

@@thirdgen377Far cry 3 was the first of the ,,modern look at open world shooters". Even i think its kind of boring now (tried to play again a few months ago), but i see why its the ethalon of the series. It made the game easy to approach while being fun. I have fond memories of it. Started the story like 8 times, thats how fun was it for me to jump into the world. - It has the same amount of clunkyness as any other game of the era. - ,,Aiming is a job in itself": I will use the meme "Skill issue" here. - One in the head, maximum five on torso.

Man, I was so excited for FC6 analysis and you didn't dissapoint. The video is absolutely brilliant and I'm sure i'm gonna be rewatching it several times. Kinda wish this had been out while i was working on my ma dissertation. Gameplay analysis has always been a struggle for me but you are a master at it. Despite agreeing with basically every single point in this essay, i'm also stuck in a weird place regarding this game. It feels like home to me and i have a ridiculous attachment to it, giant flaws an all. It is a shame this is what we got from Ubisoft when they had such great inspo material. (Love that we are still advocating for FC5 btw) Again, wonderful essay!

Couldn't agree more with you dude. Funny thing with FC6 is that it's got almost everything I wanted; a huge, country-sized map, weapons customisation, horse-riding, tons more and yet, somehow it's currently the only Far Cry I have not bothered to finish. There's just so many design oversights that irk me every time I play.

It's because you don't just want that stuff. You want that stuff to be good. Problem is, game studios keep throwing tons of random bullshit at their games to cater to the retarded gamer dads. Retarded gamer dads who want horse-riding, sees horse riding, starts to play the game and when they realize it's boring it's too late for a refund. Then on the next game, they do the exact same shit. Probably leading studios to believe that's what you want when they look at their statistics.

My peak Far Cry experience is FC2, it feels like an actual concept of hostile world done right, immersive, and innovative in many aspects even it's not everyone cup of tea. It also doesn't hold player hand or shoving UI all over the place like recent Ubisoft formula. I doubt if this series could shine again at some point.
