From a preview: it's supposed to be the biggest FC map yet and sounds like in the city, you won't be able to liberate areas the traditional FC way of just taking over a base. like you'll have to assassinate some higher up first, or do some sabotage. it's an UBI "fantasy" after all, but the whimsical elements sound a bit out of place

Ubisoft really loves those superlatives and shared game mechanics. It's more off-putting to me, I didn't buy Valhalla because after Origins and Odyssey already being way too long, I didn't want to spend another 100 hours in Assassin's Creed. The "assassinate yourself through the ranks" system sounds like it's lifted from the past three AC games as well.

One thing that will be a nice improvement is the ability to holster your weapon while out in the world to avoid conflict. No more constant enemy spam when you're just trying to explore.

Is Far cry 4 worth playing? I didn’t like 5 due to the near constant enemy spam, though I do have New Dawn.

I mean if the actual design and resources currently dedicated to the gun combat went into it too, though. Not even stealth, necessarily, like, given the routine castrophony of the writing, a walking simulator with leisure activities and exploration tasks would be more appealing.

Everything looks kind of cool but I'm pretty burned out on Far Cry specifically, and to some extent on Ubisoft open world games more generally. I don't think there's any way I'm buying at full price even if the buzz is better than 5, so realistically I'll probably sign up for Ubisoft+ for a month and play however long I stay interested, whether that ultimately means beating it or not. I don't think DLC in this series has ever really felt essential anyway.

The previews mention a previous revolution in 1967 to presumably take out the original Batista analogue, but then I guess that guy just got replaced with Batista 2: Esposito? idk how that makes sense but i guess it's good he isn't a cheap Castro imitation at least, though it does beg the question why the country ended up cut off from the rest of the world if it didn't go communist

Kind of sad that we'll never get another Far Cry game with the no-bullshit, no-wackiness atmosphere of 2, but this still might bring me back to the series - played 3 to death several times, 4 a couple but it felt like 3 redux, and 5 on didn't appeal for some reason. If I can get a PS5 before October, all the better. (I've also wanted to visit Cuba for years.)

Far Cry 2 was very much the opposite of "no-bullshit", what a horrible game. Constantly attacking enemies, respawning checkpints, absolutely no stealth system, the malaria attacks. Just terrible all-around. And let's not even think of the weird sped-up voice acting (to save on disk space)

Someday Ubisoft will figure out how to make an open world game that is not a mountain checklist of samey chores and will have the courage to just let their world be with stuff to stumble upon.

I don’t get the criticism. The latest AC had a ton of encounters in the open world that were really different (and sometimes funny, like Smack My Bishop). Not necessarily on par with RDR, but I still find myself in the same routine: Head across the map to do a main mission, get distracted by three side missions and a couple of world events, and three hours later no closer to the main mission I set out to do. When that happens, I know I’m enjoying the game.

Payndz posted:No-bullshit in the sense that the story took itself seriously (yeah, it had some... issues with its game design decisions). It had a great doomy atmosphere that the later games lost with their inevitable wacky NPCs and drug-trip missions. this. it was actually dark and hosed up without getting in your face and making weird faces and popping drugs. like it does a good job at showing the country is basicaly getting hosed by every angle and all the factions are just looters with differen acronyms and all their soldiers are foreign mercs who are just sitting around and lootting the place and whenever you do a mission, you make the country worse. 6 won't be that obviously but id like to see it more like 4 and 2 then 3 and 5.

4 definitely hit that balance pretty well where the deeper you get into the story the more you realise everyone sucks and there are no easy right / wrong choices. 2 did a similar thing where you slowly realise you and all your merc friends who dropped into this third world country to take advantage of a civil war are actually maybe the bad guys and not exactly here to save the day.

I haven’t gotten to see the gameplay footage yet- I’m guessing weapon degradation isn’t back? I actually liked that in 2, when you’d run out of ammo and pick up a dropped gun and have it jam at the worst possible time.

And even AC:V which went out of its way to talk about how they'd done all this cool stuff to make the world more stumble-able still made maps full of icons and the early part of the game was *still* "Hey Eivor, here is GAMEPLAY SYSTEM. We need you to stop the flow of play and GAMEPLAY SYSTEM. You'll have many opportunities to GAMEPLAY SYSTEM, so keep a look out." I get that designing games with compelling organic exploration is hard and most players will absolutely not notice things, so the designers have my sympathies. And maybe I have rose colored glasses about Far Cry 1 but my memory of it is being dropped in an island and needing to figure things out on my own instead of being dropped off in an amusement park with defined activities.
