This game is better than Far Cry 6

[Fomin]

If you have played previous Far Cry games, you will be badly disappointed by Far Cry 6 which is little more than an asset flip with features hacked out and predatory 'live-service" elements forced in.

In previous games, you could play Arcade Mode and even make your own maps. Now this feature has been removed to make "resource packs" more attractive.

In previous games, you had a skill tree which allowed you to level up and unlock new skills like more grenades, auto-repair vehicles, more resistance to fire, etc. by playing the game. Now those skills are instead granted by wearing special gear, purchased in the cash shop for real money.

Speaking of which. Far Cry 6 has FOUR different currencies and of course the most useful is "Far Cry credits" which can ONLY be obtained by buying awkwardly-sized bundles of them with real money.

Far Cry 6 is a predatory Skinner-box "live-service" made from bits and pieces of earlier Far Cry games stitched together with microtransactions. No wonder they made it exclusive to EPIC and the Ubisoft store. If it were on Steam, the user-reviews would be brutal.

Theres really no point in comparing Ubisoft with itself. Far Cry 6 is just 5, which is just New Dawn, 4, Primal, 3. They are all the same repetitive game that hasnt evolved at all.

No there is a difference because Far Cry 5 had skill points and an Arcade mode where you could literally build your own maps.

Now the arcade mode and the ability to build your own maps have been removed (probably to push DLC and microtransactions) and instead of earning skill points ALL of your skills are now just granted by the equipment you wear... equipment which you can buy via microtransactions.

It's changed from an open world game with some live service elements to a predatory, pay-to-win live-service game with varied gameplay and character development removed to push bought power.

That just says its gotten worse, not that it was ever not a grind-fest.

Problem with Ubisoft open worlds is that they go for quantity over quality. And even then most of that quantity is copy pasted, like attacking bases.

They could make something amazing if they took development time to focus on quality instead of releasing for the sake of releasing.

Yes it's gotten worse. That's the point. All your criticisms of ubiconic open worlds are valid but this version is still better than what came after.

A lot of games are better then FC6. I had high hopes for a better game then it turned out to be. Also the fact they refused to release it on steam.

Elden Ring/BOTW are boring sword swinging RPGs that appeal to those people. FC6 does open world shooter the best since it has guns and the most vehicles and variety out of all open world shooter games. Swinging swords and casting OP spells is a snoozefest, I'm here because I like using guns and vehicles not be immersed in a fake edgy fantasy world.

Far Cry 6 is a hug downgrade from Far Cry 5. The Supremo is basically an "I win" button, Arcade mode and the ability to create your own maps has been cut out, and you no longer earn skills by playing the game. Instead of a skill tree, Far Cry 6 has a cash shop full of gear which simply grants all the skills you used to earn in the skill tree by actually playing the game.

Far Cry 6 is just a cynical hub for microtransactions. That's why they don't dare release it on a platform with user-reviews.

Replaceing the Skill tree with Gear that grants skills is one of the dumbest things I seen in a Far Cry Game

The big brain move isnt saying 3 was the best, but saying they all aged incredibly poorly.

3 just gets a pass for being first.

Other than forced progression parts yeah I'd agree with that.

The reason they did it is to push people to buy the gear in the cash shop. They basically just made the game more pay-to-win.

Far cry 6 is utter garbage. You get a ridiculous crocodile pet and rocket launcher on your back immediately. That's just the start of it. It's basically a 'just cause' game with a try hard story minus the cool movement and explosions. The best far cry games are 1, 2 and 3. They go downhill very fast from there.

[Fomin]

I had problems with Far Cry 5 but Far Cry 6 is one of the most cynical and downright evil games I have ever played. Every aspect of gameplay is cut back and sabotaged by devs who literally want you to pay to skip the gameplay AFTER buying the game.

After playing Far Cry 5, I hoped Far Cry 6 would be better. After experiencing the incredibly insidious "dark patterns" engineered into Far Cry 6, I want Ubisoft to shut down and never make another game again.

The thing I really hated about FC6 was that they replaced perks (/skill tree) with "gear". Which means you can only have like 3-4 perks active at any time.

Also, the story, setting and character design were very poor too in FC6. Making the overall experience boring, with nothing to motivate the player.

[mike.gp]

I actually paid full price on ubisoft store day of release after reading the misleading positive review from pc gamer. I played it for about 10 hours, uninstalled will never play or buy another far cry game again (unless they go back to a FC2/3 theme/quality). The last good far cry game was FC3. Everything about far cry 6 was annoying and disappointing.
