Hunting means near nothing

Upgrade system sucks

There's 0 personality to the world

It seems so disjointed. Outside the story missions there is nothing going on and the way the resistance is built feels so tacked on

Mandatory "get kidnapped" missions multiple times

It's alright to just run around killing everyone with your heavy arsenal. Stealth is the boring same ol system, different game.

The story is so annoyingly milquetoast. They're an obvious far right religious cult, but not really. You're enlisting libertarianesque freedom fighters, but not really.

If you have enough information to fill in the blanks, then why does it have to be said? Didn't people use to like subtlety?

Ever since they did it right with 3, they been chasing it's success. They're completely focused on trying to recreate the impact Vaas had. They probably give the heroes barely any effort.

Four actually had a pretty interesting story in that ultimately there really was no villain or good guy. They make that pretty clear if you get the secret ending at the beginning of the game.

I was playing Red Dead Online the other night. They started doing this event where you just battle people to get the best photos of animals. I seen a blip on the map and struggled while climbing up the side of a rocky hill. Once I got to the top I walked a little forward to notice it was a huge bear. I tried to pull out my camera while realizing it was pinning me inebetween him and the cliff. He ended up mauling me before I could get the picture. I was so disappointed

I personally love it. But Im not a big online gamer and really like when games let you play at your own pace. Red Dead online just lets you do whatever you feel like doing at that moment. The events pop up every like 45 minutes to join if you want to play something competitive after running around for awhile, rarely they're a team effort. Of course you can just completely focus on PVP as well. I personally like running around and just doing odd jobs to get money to upgrade stuff.

Had some fun with it, but the campaign and its mandatory progress + get sniped with magic bullets no matter where you are to be kidnapped stuff was awful. It had a pretty good level creation/sharing system, though. If you're playing on PS4, look up one of the maze maps I made -- it's called Exit Strategy. Can't believe I still remember that name after all these years, haha.

5's garbage, and I actually got a refund for New Dawn. It brought back XP which is good, but the weapon selection and upgrade system is absolutely horrible

I don't know what 6 has to do to impress me, but it has to be significant

3 had a great story

Especially if you went for the bad ending

Blood dragon was cool too for story. Stupid as hell

What? 3's story was great.

Even the story in 5 is more than "window dressing". It would have been a whole lot better if the player actually talked, and they made the story less... "open." With the way the leaders are set up to be tackled in any order, there really didn't feel like much of a connection between them. You already killed Faith and John when Jacob captures you? That's okay, he just lets you go after his brainwashing session, because why not? Because no matter what order you kill them in, the scenes for each sibling don't really change. It felt really disjointed.

With Far Cry 6, I'm really hopeful that Giancarlo Esposito's involvement creates a great story and memorable villain. There's really been no info on the game though, outside of a potential release date of May 25th leaking.

I liked New Dawn over 5. You did play Blood Dragon, right? If not, get on it ASAP.

Also Far Cry 2 was my favorite, but of the newer ones, FC3 was the best for me. I hated Primal, idk why.
