I still need to finish 6. Got burnt out halfway through.

5, in theory, has a more interesting story and setting. A big religioius cult is more interesting to me than just a plain old dictator, though that's fine as well. They just executed it horribly. The forced crap was terrible and I felt it got too weird in some places like with the lady cult member. Still, I loved running around in the Montana setting just hunting and fishing. It was so nice when you could have some peace and not get attacked by this and that.

I think I played 5 so much that I got burnt out too quick when playing 6.

I thought 5 had a cool premise and an absolute banger of an opening, but they really lost me with how over-the-top and unbelievable the cult actually was. It's a cartoon cult.

I'll end up playing 6 eventually because I'm a fan of the series, but the last couple of games really put me off with how jokey they were. IMO Far Cry is at its best when it's being serious and a little dark, but from what I've seen 6 leans even harder into the goofiness. Plus I've always loved the series' strict adherence to keeping absolutely everything in first person, but 6 doesn't do that for some reason.

Yeah, it got way too goofy at times. You're right about 6 too. It's also pretty over the top and can get goofy too, but it has its good moments as well.
