I thought far cry 6 was good.

[–] Majorllama@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Was 6 the only Far Cry game you've played? Because I've played all the far cry games and 6 is one of my lowest ranked games from the series personally. I'm curious why you liked 6.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It was a large open map rpg with a well polished UI. Decent story, cool aesthetics. Wasn't groundbreaking awesomeness, but we can't all be FNV. What's not to love?

[–] Majorllama@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Did you play any of the other far cry titles or was that your first? Because in a vacuum I could see 6 being fun, but when you go into 6 expecting a game like the other far cry titles it really fell short.

That's makes a ton of sense then. Well I would highly recommend 3, 4 and 5 as well, but those games might end up tainting your memory of 6. Or who knows maybe playing 6 first will make you not really like the other ones.

If you were only going to play one other far cry game I would recommend 5 as it's the most recent title while also still feeling like a "proper" far cry game.

Far cry went down hill after blood dragon. It was already repeat of 3 but the theme carried hard but also was lower priced standalone...

Everything after? No thanks.

[–] Majorllama@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Really? 4 is pretty much regarded as the best one by most fer cry people.

When I made a survey on the far cry subreddit the top 3 games were 5, 4 and 3 was in third place lol.

[–] Paddzr@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

4 went hard on all the map clutter IMO. The setting was alright and villain was just too close to feeling like they're trying to capture Vaas lightning in a bottle type so unfortunately it bounced off me. Which is a shame, as it probably would have been the superior game in 3 didn't happen and was fresh in my memory.

I admit, it is a "me" problem.

Nah man that's totally fine. Enjoyment in video games is very subjective.

I hated far cry primal but many people love it.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You ever try that primal one?

[–] Majorllama@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I played it for an hour at a friend's house. I hated it.

For a game with no guns the melee system is going to get a lot of use. It's incredibly basic and boring. The ranges weapons didn't appeal to me.

I never bought it for myself or played itore than that.
