They're all pretty cheap right now should I just assume 5 is the best and get that?

I'd say 3 or 4, probably 4...

5 is kinda wack

3 was my favorite experience cause I played it day 1. 5 is probably best overall now just cause you can play however you want and the graphics are the best. Playing Far Cry stealth suuuucks now. It's an oversaturated experience.

Of those I played 5 the most by far. The villain scared the shit out of me, really terrifying. The campaign has an annoying af recurring encounter, and a shitty ending. Still got over a hundred ours out of it, easily.

New dawn is a better game than 5. 5 has a better villain and the forced story elements is more annoying in 5.

I bought 3 on ps4 but the controls don't feel as smooth and it has the more standard ubisoft formula. I've heard the villain is great so I will keep pushing through.

5 is boring as hell. The shooting mechanics are very bland and the story is wack -- feels like a budget Bioshock Infinite

2

out of them, 3 was the more fun, but the plot was dumber.
5 seemed the most organized but less motivating.

i like the fire in 2.

Also I agree with this. It adopts some RPG mechanics like enemy levels, which I wasn't a fan of. But it's relatively easy to rank up enough to take anyone out after just a couple hours

4 is 3, with various improvements set in Napal, so both are good. 5 does away with everything that made 3 and 4 good. Dumbs it down to ludicrous degrees, piss poor weapon selection (might be better since they aren't locked behind community challenges anymore) no EXP system, or meaningful skill trees. There's a perk that unlocks cooking grenades for god's sake, why is that not just how grenades WORK? the entire game is really damn phoned in and copped out.

good graffix tho

3 was average when it came out and has only gotten older. Never got around to 4 but it's the exact same game. 5 adds a few more bells and whistles and obviously looks and plays better because it's newer. Still not a fantastic game but it's much better than the other two. 2 is still far and away the best game but is a completely different thing to begin with.

i never said it's good when 3 did it, 3 just had enough other cool perks to offset it. using your pistol on a zipline is another major copout fake "perk"

I think you should go play 3 again. The perk tree was entirely filled out with random % buffs, basic gameplay that should have just been there, and 50 new stealth kill animations. It was horseshit of the highest level. Farcry never should have gotten "RPG elements" to begin with.

4. The gameplay of 5 is still good but the setting itself is pretty boring compared to the island of 3 and Nepal in 4.

they just need better creative direction. scrapping exp altogether and replacing it with "perk points" from arbitrary challenges was worse.

It's probably hard to go back because everytime you try, you get interrupted by another truck of enemies

Lol. Next time just say because you were talking out of your ass instead of doubling down.

Here are the "cool" perks in fc3

Improved accuracy with 3 guns, improved reload, improved accuracy 3 other guns, syringes last longer, syringes last longerer, steady aim last longer, shoot while ziplining reduce fall damage, use a mounted gun longer, hold your breath longer, steady aim longerer, sprint faster, death from above, death from below, dual death from above, dual death from below, and use enemy gun in takedown.

So that's one cool perk , perks for things that you start with in 5, and the same old generic shit...and that makes it only rant worthy in 5.

if you can't talk about video games without lashing out like a little kid, you don't need to be listened to. it's just far cry, dude. no matter how you slice it, 3 and 4 had better progression than 5

So why are you here since you needed to lash out like a little kid and pretend something in each game is only a problem in the one you don't like.

It's dumb in all 3 or it's okay in all 3.

But stay salty

I haven't said much one way or the other about 5. Just in your hypocrisy of complaining about a perk that exist in each of the games you mentioned but is only rant worthy in one. And now triple downing on it because it causes you physical pain to admit when you're wrong on the internet.

actually i don't think that was a perk in 5 at all, i was thinking of the one that let you throw back grenades. the thing is, i said the perk point system in 5 was bad, gave an example of a dumb perk as an aside. both grenade perks are miserable copout excuses for perks to fill out the progression, but 3 and 4's exp system will always be better, regardless. 3 deserves a pass for some of its stinker perks anyway, given that it's the oldest and the first one to introduce the system. there's just no reason to fly off the handle over it.

that's fair. misremembering perks aside, all my point was from the beginning is that i prefer exp over challenges like "kill 100 dudes with a pistol" to get one perk point to put towards a perk that makes fish get tired faster

i did like 5's fishing though...

Especially since from an actual gameplay standpoint, 5 is just 4 with more stuff and more polish, but way more railroading.

3 is extremely barebones compared to 4 and 5. I actually like all three though.
