Does it get better?

[Fifteen]

I have made it past "tutorial island" and have played a few missions at the airfield.

The story is so bad and cringey, the dialogue unnecessary and constant -- why am I learning so much about these side-characters so early, I haven't earned that degree of familiarity yet! And it's so boring and unnecessary. You expect me to remember all that exposition dump?

The stealth is terrible -- as if I have to use the dumb Supremo system. I can take over some military bases yet others I cannot, despite being right next door to each other. Not to mention how badly designed these areas are. Why do I have to throw a limited amount of baseballs instead of just a rock? Why do I have to replenish my "gears" instead of just buying hand grenades? It seems I have to use the Supremo system instead of a sniper rifle to take down a helicopter. Am I missing something? I feel like I am.

The game is still giving me tutorial island type introductions to things that should have been introduced on tutorial island.

The direction in the story is not all that great. I know generally what I'm supposed to be doing, but the stakes are poor. There is no tension or urgency to taking on the boss. Everything is a cut scene. I don't even know the personal reason why the main character decided to stay and fight beyond the standard "bad guy must go down".

But all this is so early in the game. I can't believe the play through has been so disagreeable this early in the game that I want to quit and delete it. Does it get better?

I don't want to slog through the whole thing if this is what it's going to be like. I can't even find much side content which I liked to do in the previous games before doing the next major mission. It was difficult just to get through the first few airfield missions. This was not the case with the previous games.

Please tell me it gets better. I spent 3 days downloading this on a super slow internet connection expecting it to be as fun as the other Far Cry games. I want to play another cool, good Far Cry game.

No, sorry, but it depends on who you ask.

I found the amount of wokeness in the story to be over the top, and with so much of it appearing in games these days was it only annoying and I did not enjoy it. If the past Far Cry titles let me imagine being an accidental hero on a path of revenge, did Far Cry 6 make me feel more like a psychopathic babysitter turned tool, doing the wet work for a bunch of teenage snowflakes and elderly weirdos. The story was just a lot of nonsense to me.

The mechanics do get a bit easier, but beware it is also a bit on the dumb side. So you can take down helicopters with EMP weapons. Once you get a bow and EMP arrows can you drop them and half the time the pilot will then jump out. You can even stop tanks and hijack them with said bow and arrow. Just make nothing of the physics as a tank is the most massive Faraday cage imaginable. To stop them with an EMP arrow, well, try not to think about it ...

The ammo in this game is not a problem. Any workbench, of which there are many and just about everywhere, will replenish everything. Not exactly the shortage you would expect for an uprising rebellion and not very challenging, but just go with it and do not think about it.

The open world part of this game is fun but it's bogged down by the worst quest design and content gating of all the Far Cry games.

I quit playing soon after leaving the tutorial island. I got bored. I had also heard that the villain is barely in the game and lost interest completely.

You'll have to spice stuff up yourself if you find the game boring. Pick a theme. Bow and arrow/machete? Hitman agent 47? Try pets. Can forget supremos and use an rpg, etc... Supremos are op.

This game is so bad. I gave it another go and nothing has improved. =( I've chosen to simply delete it from my library. I can't understand what enjoyment anyone is getting out of it. But to each their own.

It seems that the game was released before it was finished since things in the trailer are missing. So you're basically dumped on a roof with no clear directions, and then you are sent to the rather dull tutorial island. On the mainland there is little difference in the beginning, but once you progress in the game your reputation builds up and things get more interesting. The enemy gets stronger, when you i.e. are in a firefight random strangers come help you, and you get access to more vehicles. Some special weapons are really powerful, there are Easter eggs, and your "upgraded" companions can do funny things. In the beginning there is a lot of grinding, but as you unlock everything you'll have a pretty funny open world game.

There's a spooky bunker quest. Not the pet one.

Treat it as a B movie and you won't be disappointed.

Got suckered in to buying two copies, it was my own fault, I followed the puppy. Lowering the bar this much will certainly make me look the other way with following releases.
