Why FarCry4 is a bad game.

[Lill-Rogge]

Okey so this will hit FC fanboys right in the heart and I'm sure that hate will come right at me. BUT! Don't you see how overrated this game is?! I mean, come on! Sure it's fun to libirate outposts, take over belltowers and breach and take over "very hard" fortresses (which is really easy if you ask me) But doesn't it seem really familiar? Of course it do! Because you've done it before!! IN FARCRY 3!!
It's the SAME game?! Just another environment... Same guns, same type of people, same npc logic, same everything! Farcry 3 was better, it was al new then and had more epic scenes! I had a blast playing farcry3 but sadly, not in farcry4... It seemed just like easy money to them...

I don't know about you. But FC4 isn't that fun.

No kidding! Isn't the only thing that matters is how much one enjoys playing it? Why should I care what anybody else thinks?

Did the OP expect them to make "far cry" 4 a tower defense game or something? Ofcourse its going to be somewhat similar.. thats what effing sequels are all about!

Well, Played farcry 1 in my younger days. But when the second game came out it blasted your argument pretty bad... Just saying... :(

And for you others fanboys who hate me because MY opinion?? I didn't say that everybody need to have the same opinion as me. So stop criticizing me and have an argument like an adult. I said that the game was to familiar as the one before. As I said, same sounds and everything. Therefore the game is not that fun! As TURI said:

"the bad part was the price of a game you payed to replay.
done the game, the missions even felt the same, the drug field? running and shooting the scientist on drugs (did it in far cry 3 with the main villian), the betray your "friend"

It's sad that ubisoft can make pretty much the same game and get so much money out of it...

How many Call of Duty games are there now? How many Maddens?

The story has some moments ( Amita and Sabal defending two different visions was actually well done ). I laugh at Ubisoft's ridiculous PC Leftist agenda. It is as subtle as an elephant and clearly, the writers lack the maturity or experience to create something believable.

They assumed the problem would be fixed by using a colored main character instead of a white one. They can't even understand that the problem is having a foreign character save the day. If you go the Dances With Wolves route, at least try to show the good and the bad in this culture.

I guess exploiting topless girls is progressive and empowering to women. As always, they barely spend time making their characters interesting ( though their design and voice acting is really good ). They pretend they want to give you a cinematic experience, but except for crappy framerates, Ubisoft doesn't know how to create three dimensional characters.

I can't forget the use of drugs as a cheap mission design gimmick ( I hoped I could shoot those two stoners at one point ), to avoid real story telling ( like some cheap Deux Ex Machina ). Furthermore, the Shangri-La missions were running like total crap compared to the game.

The vilain is barely used, and even if Troy Baker is doing a great job as usual, their excuse to justify some binary choices are ridiculous. like the end with Pagan Min telling you you can either shoot him or bury your mom with him... after all that happened... seriously guys? that's one big suspension of disbelief here...

And of course, it is the usual Ubisoft rince and repeat, copy pasted missions until you drown in their unimaginative boring game design.

Is it bad? Not really though, since it has the Far Cry fun that makes you come back to it but there is a huge difference between a title you have fun with and a fun experience you endure because of lazy game design and mission design...

Nota Bene: the fact the game was plagued with SLI issues, stuttering, graphics issues ( even on a single card ) didn't help. It can be gorgeous but of course, looks nothing like the bullshots shown on Steam. And, the fact Ubisoft used a launch trailer in first person using global illumination to simulate gameplay is another way to lie to customers ( I'm sure a couple of them fell for it assuming it was gameplay ).

I have to admit far cry 4 is fun. but has a crappy mechanic system for sneaking and damage feedback on enemies. on some outposts that really made me feel like I was game raging is the ones with mortars. snipe few guys out without getting spotted. guy freaks out not knowing were I am, runs to the mortars and fires exactly were I am and magically kills me. they all don't know were I am. most of the action is one sided as well with the enemies. aimbot snipers and hunters with 200% accuracy. go all out bunny sniping against these mofo npc's. and they still hit me every time even though I am moving lots lol npc's are OP on everything on this game. I love the game and it is fun once you get on the good side of it. STORY: like what made me laugh out loud litterally!! is that I got a headshot on a guy getting out of a car at a outpost at 30 feet away with the mini auto crossbow, hits him, blows my cover by spotting me and then dies from a headshot 5 seconds later. extreme delay on death? lol did that ever happen to anyone or something simular? another glitch that I ran into is one of the fortress's I got 99% of the guys and 2/3 alarms xD I was running up to the alarm to melee it, guy magically goes from 20 feet from it to flesh up to it instantly and alarm goes off lol almost flawless take over!!. I restarted by comitting sideways lol plus trying to snipe some npc's and they just know a bullet is coming for their heads and they duck at the last split second and bullet misses. and everytime I try to get a clear shot on some of them they start to move more than usual compared not looking at them. what are thee odds?

I didn't think much of FC4 either, but calling it a bad game is going a bit far. Ride To Hell is a bad game, that new Afro Samurai game that was pulled off of Steam was a bad game, etc. I would say that FC4 is lazily made game since it recycles a lot of the previous game with adding a few new, mostly gimmicky, features and a lackluster story with very bland protaganist. That being said, I still think it is a decent game, even quite fun since it's just more of FC3 (which I did enjoy very much), and I think most people would atleast agree to that.

i agree its not as good as FC3, because it really is the same damn game. but i disagree its not a good game...its honestly about what i expected after fc3s success, but i dont think you can do it again. next release will have to be a change of pace a la fc1-fc2 or fc2-fc3.

Hahaha lol, its been 7 years now and ubisoft are still doing their copy/paste ♥♥♥♥, with all their IPs: farcry. AC, Watchdogs. Ubisoft is never gonna change, and neither is their games

Well we are buying em so , it is partly our fault.

Same game every 3 years, playing the same game from the same company, expecting any chnages,
the definition of insanity.

wow someone went digging for an old post

[Swifty404]

For me FC 4 is better then FC 3 BUT the only thing that's better is the story from FC 3. The story in FC 4 is bad.

idk man. i really like fc3 so experiencing it again in a new setting is a win in my book and the graphics are better so that's always a plus

In this case I'm gonna play FC3 to the end
Btw got it for free not so long ago

"It's the same shooting and stealthing with different visuals" is something you could say on some level for every FPS since Wolfenstein 3D. Obviously its better when we get significant engine updates like with Far Cry 5, but at the end of the day you're buying a Far Cry game to play more Far Cry. If you don't want to, don't buy it.

I did the uninstall after sleeping with a dream which felt like i am still ingame but i did not known it.
