I don't undertand how game developers screw up graphics settings up time and again. FC6 is poisoning my eyes with depth of field that apparently can't be disabled atm. Why does this even exist? Some people like having half the screen full of blurry poo poo? Why? e: seriously though, just loving... why?

I ruthlessly disable every depth-of-field motion-blur chromatic-aberration film-grain vignetting option I can lay my hands on, and it really pisses me off when it won't let me. My eyes are poo poo enough already in real life, why should I want to add all the flaws of a lensed camera on top?

Au Revoir Shosanna posted:Anyone know if it's possible to earn the store credits in-game? Or is it real money only? Usually the game gives you like 300, which isn't enough to buy really anything meaningfully. There has never been a way to earn that specific currency in-game besides what you're gifted for getting off of tutorial island. Theoretically people who preordered were *supposed* to get 2300, but that seems to either not be working, or it won't come for a week, or some such nonsense. Nobody's really clear on it and Ubisoft is either saying that no such thing was promised, and then when their own web page shows it, are saying it may take 2 weeks to arrive or some such. Honestly the cosmetics and weapons in this game that cost real money don't look worth getting for the most part. I'm a big dumb dumb and love cosmetics so I always buy the stupid expensive edition, and the only outfit I really like is the Miami Vice-style suit. Although I will say the croc hunter gun is really good to use. The rest seems very meh at best. Edit - Re: Credits: Mine showed up today, I now have 2600 credits without buying anything. So, the 300 credits you get for getting off the island, and the "medium pack" preorder bonus, which works out to 2300 credits. So, people may want to check for this. ssb fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Oct 9, 2021 |

Yep, I subscribed to the more expensive tier for a single month because I want to try out Stadia. Playing Far Cry 6 on PC, of course, because I'm not playing at 30 FPS on Stadia. But I think I'll check out Valhalla on the service, just to see how it is.

This is probably because I'm dumb, but it may also be because the ending of FC5 was dumb. Did the US government nuke the cultists, or did they nuke themselves as some kind of dead-man switch / "rapture"? I know the cult had possession of at least one US nuclear missile silo. By that point I was so annoyed with the story that I didn't think too much about it and just uninstalled.

The length of Valhalla really frustrated me and I never finished it past like the fifth region. I was very sad because otherwise it would’ve been a great game. I have a family member who hasn’t ever really played video games, but really likes Norse mythology stuff. She got super sucked into Valhalla and before she knew it was 100%’ing it. She was hunting down literally everything. She finally finished it, at the 149 hour mark. She was more angry than anything at the stupid reward for some collectible eden video clip puzzle and overall the very unrewarding main story ending. I felt bad for her. That’s so many hours.

Fame Douglas posted:The US was in some kind of conflict, with tensions ratcheting up more and more I never picked up on this, despite spending around 30 hours with the game. I'd read that there are some in-game radio broadcasts that allude to happenings in the world, but I guess I mentally tuned them out as unimportant. Somehow I find that even more disappointing than my two theories.

WhiteHowler posted:Oh. Huh. I specifically listened for them in my second playthrough and heard them, although I realized I must have heard a bunch of them in my first playthrough and didn't really consider them much more than background filler at the time. My understanding is that China nuked them rather than the other theories. It was dumb no matter who did it though. I enjoyed the game enough to play it twice, but the ending wasn't particularly good no matter how you look at it. The effective ending in 4 also sucked in its own way, where you feel like a shithead no matter who you help. Far Cry games have bad endings I guess, but the core gameplay still hooks me.

I love the idea that it was just Montana and New Dawn still happened, like right over the mountain range some lady is drinking a Jamba Juice while shopping at the lady foot locker for a new set of vans that will slim her waist and the whole reason that ND is post apoc is because nobody gives a poo poo about Montana.

Far Cry doesn't have a recurring story / metaplot like the Assassin's Creed games do but there is a recurring characters who absolutely mention stuff that went down in previous games-- the CIA dude, Huntley. It's like, a tiny and completely insignificant thing but Far Cries 3, 4, and 5 are quite clearly, according to the text, all set in the same world. I've got no problem ditching that, or being like "sure they are but the ending of 5 was dumb and never happened" but it's just not correct to say the games don't fit together. Does anyone know what counts as a checkpoint in this game? I'm super unclear about what will give me a fast travel point if I murder everyone in it and what won't.

FND bases are the big proper outposts, they're marked with big flags on the map as you discover them. A good way to get checkpoints though is to build the hideout network at a campsite and buy all the hideout maps from there, each one is a fast travel point.

The surprising thing is that Clint Hocking recently came out and said that the antagonist of 2, The Jackal, is Jack Carver. The protagonist of Far Cry 1. The one with genetically enhanced supersoldier monkeys and is schlocky as all hell. Far Cry 2 is referenced numerous times in 4 and 5 especially. The Far Cry universe is fuckin' weird and I think the less you try to take the games seriously and treat it as a weird acid trip murder vacation in parody land, the better your reaction to the games will be.

There's no universe, just because they have some nods to the other games in each one doesn't mean they're doing any kind of "shared world" or continuing storyline. It's pretty obvious they're all independently written. And Far Cry 1 and 2 weren't even by the same development studio, the continuation of Far Cry 1 is Crysis because Ubisoft owned the brand name.

The Jackal's texture and model files in Far Cry 2 were literally named jackcarver even at release. Different developers or not, it was clearly an idea being bounced around during the development of 2.

Fame Douglas posted:FidelityFX Super Resolution (DLSS) resets to "Off" every time I reload the game. Pretty annoying. There were also some heavy implications/hints in FC5 that the cult triggered the apocalypse themselves by launching a nuke that people found by digging into the game's locations, lore, and doing some deductive reasoning about the final boss fight where the cult leader starts ranting about how we've triggered Armageddon by trying to bring him to justice after we refuse to back down in trying to enforce the law on a bunch of hyper authoritarian cultist nutcases that murder anyone not in their in group. The theory is that that's why we see a nuke go off in the ending. That was the cult itself nuking Hope County or a hallucination as your subconscious tried to tell you what was really going on. The way the magical hallucinogenic drugs works could have meant that it was a shared group hallucination brought on by the cult leaders rant to trick the US into starting a nuclear war. Basically, a case of cultists doubling down on their beliefs after they were proven wrong that the apocalypse wasn't going to happen on it's own and they weren't the chosen people. Which is entirely accurate to how cults work and fits Far Cry's over the top critique of things. Meaning that in any scenario it's still the usual downer ending FC games have. Nothing you do mattered in the long run, aside from helping a few people survive that almost certainly wouldn't have otherwise. Even if you walk away at the start and get the secret ending the cult's managed to infiltrate at least one nuclear missile silo so they'll push things to the point that they boil over by launching a nuke to trigger MAD protocols once they're ready for the apocalypse. All you did by staying and fighting them was buy everyone a bit more time and make sure that the cult didn't emerge into the new post apocalyptic world as an organized superpower. Which I suppose is at least somewhat of a bittersweet ending bordering on being a downer. FC6 might have retconned that however. gently caress that game if they did. Having it just be a deus ex nukes drop thing where the cultists were right all along is bullshit. Archonex fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Oct 8, 2021 |
