"Far Cry® 6 will never be released on Steam." Well look who came crawling back?

I was having an "okay" time with the game, and then Ubisoft Connect butted in, closed my session, and then my saves were deleted. Eat ass, Ubisoft.

Far Cry 3: Nacho from Better Call Saul is the antagonist
Far Cry 6: Gus from Breaking Bad is the antagonist
I wouldn't mind having Heisenberg in Far Cry 9

We meet again Ubisoft launcher. You have been in my life for quite awhile now and we have become bitter enemies. One day I hope you are defeated and I never see you again. Can Farcry 7 have the end-game part be where us players band together and storm Ubisoft HQ and find the person/persons responsible for this god awful launcher? That would be a nice concept.

Oh sorry.. yeah the game is alright. Worth a play-through. Don't pay full price though.

Full review: AlexTECPlayz Reviews (due to the character limit imposed here, compared to a discussion post description character limit)

Review score: 6/10

TL;DR - Far Cry 6 is the perfect slop to play for dozens of hours, with no emotion or depth. It's sadly the most marketable Far Cry game content-wise to date.

With almost 200 hours under my belt, I can still play the game endlessly, but I will never feel anything worthwhile. It's just another mediocre game with the same overused Ubisoft formula, now with some additional useless, half-baked features, story, motifs, characters and poor game design. It can be FUN, but only because everything is so silly and stupid.

The series as a whole was never very good, and none of the games would get a score higher than 7/10 from me, but Far Cry 6 is a new low, a 'far cry' from what the series was supposed to be. I was actually hyped for this game, because I like the game's themes and ideas about fascism, the soundtrack, some of the cinematics and trailers, Giancarlo Esposito's performance and typefaces used. This is a disappointment.

Advice: If you want to play the game, ALWAYS buy it on sale, and ALWAYS buy the standard or deluxe edition. The DLCs are not worth any amount of money.

Ubisoft's Chris Early spoke out against Valve's PC digital store, Steam, saying its business model is "unrealistic." He added, "It doesn't reflect where the world is today in terms of game distribution."Welcome back to the realistic current world ubisoft.Think twice for next upcoming games.

Thanks to Epic games and ubisoft connect players for beta testing game for 2 years.

I will NEVER buy a game on Epic game store

Last chance to look at me Hector

Fun game with good story, but I can't recommend it.

This game has a ton of outfits, weapons, and vehicles locked behind hundreds of dollars worth of micro transactions.

Why is there this much content pay walled in a single player game?

It has a lot of positive qualities, but I lean more towards not recommending it. While the shooting gameplay, graphics, and sound have improved over previous entries, the spectacle wears off and the game gets repetitive and boring towards the end and feels a bit too long. Also, I didn't really like the side characters that much.

Likes
+ Much improved graphics over previous entries.
+ Guns continue to get better. There are more different types of guns and they sound and feel better than ever (except the resolver weapons, I don't really find them appealing, they feel like clown weapons)
+ I liked the music in the game, it covered genres I don't listen too much but it fits the setting quite well and adds to the immersion.
+ The protagonist isn't so much a player insert anymore, they are someone with their own personality, which I felt added to the game a bit more.
+ You can use more variety of weapons and gear, swapping freely between loadouts at any time.
+ Enjoyed this one entertaining side quest that is kind of a self contained survival horror section that apparently ties into Stranger things.

Dislikes
- Gear replaces perk points. No more sense of character progression outside of the gear and weapons you acquire. If you want to maximize your resources you need to tediously swap gear to ones that increase the amount of stuff you pickup anytime you are looting. And in general, If you want to use the gear you pickup youll need to be swapping to it so even when you acquire new gear you may not even end up using it since constantly swapping out gear is annoying and interrupts the action constantly. I would say 80% of the loot I scavenged for on the map ended up completely unused. So this really discourages exploring and finding loot.
- Didn't care for the resolver backpack or weapons. Every one I tried just felt bad to use. Unresponsive, awkward, or weak. I wish they'd stop including these , for lack of a better term, clown weapons, in the far cry series.
- Picking up things seems more finnicky.
- Camp building subsystem seems mostly a waste of time/ 75% of the things you can build seemed pointless since I didn't care about hunting, fishing, or the bandido mission stuff.
- Didn't really HATE any of the characters, but didn't really like any either. Some of them were a bit annoying. I just don't think the character dialogue in this game is really for me, can't speak for anyone else though. I think it just boils down to a more serious tone. I don't have a problem AT ALL with the more diverse cast, it's just the personalities of the characters.
- Travel is more annoying than it has ever been in this series. This is a BIG issue because as you probably know, map traversal makes up like 80% of gameplay time in this series. And the map is larger, which futther compounds it. Furthermore, the stuff you can get by exploring the map is just gear which as mentioned above, you will end up using maybe 15% of. So you'll quickly learn that its a waste of time to explore the map, which used to be fun in previous games. It just takes too darn long to get anywhere and your reward is usually a slap in the face with a cruddy piece of gear you'll never use.

First of all summoning your car is really tedious and annoying. You have to go to menu, request it, wait for it to drive up, wait for the driver to get out, then finally you can start driving. On the plus side you can summon it anwhere. Unfortunately, there are many areas in the game not accessible by car. You are meant to use these "guerilla paths" on horseback, and the map pathfinding doesnt go along them. So you'll often be tabbing back and forth between map and game, and switching between car and horseback. Oftentimes I ended up just running on foot so I wouldn't have to bother checking the map, waiting for a car, or finding a horse.

You can fly, helicopter or airdrop with a wingsuit from certain locations but depending on how much you've taken over, you may not have a close point. Further, you have to take out anti air cannons if they cover the area. So you keep asking yourself if its worth it to go out your way to take out the anti air or if you should just go on the ground. I would say its often not worth it. The materials you can get from anti air sites are only for resolver gear which IMO sucks.
The end result for me was a lot of tedious running on foot and checking the map because it honestly seemed faster than dealing with all the variety of different options.

The environments are nice to look at, but I feel this tedium of traversal gets in the way of that rather than accentuating it.
- Exploring the map to find good loot is a prominent aspect of this series but is abysmally bad in this. The loot just sucks and it takes too long to get around.
- Godawful airpline flight controls on keyboard. Inexcusably bad considering they nailed it on FC5 and new dawn.
- There are all these shiny new guns but there are no incentives to really use them all. In previous games, you used different guns to complete challenges, but there are no such systems in this game so you end up investing a lot in a few guns and wishing you had the resources to try out different ones.
- Overall its just too long for me. All of the above issues are compounded by the length. They'd be more forgivable otherwise. If those issues were fixed, or if the story or characters were more interesting I wouldn't mind it as much, but it feels almost double the length of FC5/New Dawn and those felt perfect from a length perspective. I was rushing the main quest after I got through the first 2 sub-areas because it just started to get really same-y.
- To make the combat harder they make the enemies dodge and weave around a lot mroe and it looks ridiculous and inhuman and is just annoying. In some cases I saw enemies literally sliding along the ground with no animation just to evade my crosshairs.
- Didn't really care for the ending. Didn't really feel worth it.

Since I was burnt out by the end of the MQ I didn't mess around with the weekly postgame stuff.

If they didn't make the map traversal so sucky I would've enjoyed my time with it a lot more
