I'm not going to get around to playing this for months, but Youtube is very pushy with videos and I'm vaguely interested. Does this game also have the hyper aggressive cliff racer wildlife 3 and 4 did?

Pwnstar posted:After you beat the game there will be a new system called Insurgency where the baddies will take over a certain area of the map, flipping all the checkpoints and forts etc and you get fancy rewards for taking it back. It cycles to a new area weekly(?) I believe. Oh neat can you repeat it during the week or is it a one and done deal?

RE: Graphics - I think there's something going on where some people are getting low-LOD textures for some reason because playing at 4K with a mix of high/ultra and no HD textures and the game looks pretty good, with the possible exception of the outfits which don't really look great. But everything else has been fine with normal gameplay. I'll admit I haven't been going around looking for bad textures because I'm having too much fun raising mayhem, so maybe I'm just not seeing it. But I feel like there's some janky bug with that.

I've been playing at 1440p ultra settings with the HD texture pack, and there's been no major performance problems or any bad-looking textures. The biggest issue is an under-utilization of both my CPU (5600x) and GPU (3080 ti). The game doesn't seem programmed to push high-end hardware very hard. I don't remember how FC5 looked and I don't have it installed, so I can't speak to how this compares to that.

My issue isn't with the textures themselves, it's like the AA or texture filtering or something.  I'm doing this mission where you have to burn the plants and I was standing here looking at the fields changing settings around to see if I could make that stuff look clearer and it always looks like a weird jaggedy mess. Maybe it's unrealistic expectations because I'm also playing Red Dead 2 with DLSS where you can see clear across the plains to spot a deer hiding in the brush but I need to mess around with the settings some more I guess.

Combat Pretzel posted:I presume you mean surprise attacks in the most inconvenient moments? If so, yeah, and it's loving annoying. I forgot how it was in the other games, but in FC5 it was a single instance of an animal. In FC6, it seems to be multiple. Wildhogs come in three, crocs in two, etc., and you'll be wasting plenty of your ammo, because the machete seems to do barely gently caress all on these. Ok, if I was on the fence previously, then I no longer am. Gonna sit this one out. Animal attacks are super annoying.

explosivo posted:My issue isn't with the textures themselves, it's like the AA or texture filtering or something. TAA + CAS looks reasonably good to my eyes, though there's still a weird jumble of clarity and blurriness with this game. Digital Foundry uploaded their tech analysis today, and they found that a lot of special effects are rendered at a quarter resolution, which might be contributing to that odd mixed look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WghfGVJ5AaI Also, I recommend that people looking for a bit of extra performance turn on FidelityFX Super Resolution. FC6 has what might be the best FSR implementation so far. FSR is usually considered DLSS's uglier step sibling, but Ultra Quality FSR might actually look better than native resolution with TAA and no CAS in this title. (at least at 1440p and 4K.) It may also assist in reducing VRAM usage if you're hitting the cap with your card, since lower source render res = lower vram usage. Even if you're not using FSR though, you should turn on CAS. It helps a lot in combating the blurriness that TAA generates. (in case people don't know what these weirdly named settings are, FidelityFX Super Resolution is a technique that turns a lower-res image into a higher-res one, to give you better frame rates over running at native resolution. It looks surprisingly good in this game. It has both an upscaling algorithm and an image sharpening algorithm. CAS is just image sharpening on its own.)

Note that you have to re-enable FidelityFX Super Resolution every game restart, for me the setting doesn't stick in FC6.

shortspecialbus posted: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. Still at 300 for me and apparently now Ubi are saying the bonus credits are a mistake so who knows.

I know the thrown weapons are a minor thing to most but I liked being able to toss grenades and You can get different backpacks, right now I'm running around with this one  Paired up with the rifle I got in the same quest, I can see and shoot through walls when I activate its power. This includes vehicles and the drivers thereof.  Also you do a lot of your old leveling up and setting skills and whatnot through the backpack system. Set your gadgets (throwing knives, grenades, etc), then you have little mods that let you carry more of a type of ammo, take less types of damage, etc I kinda wish you could take it off in cutscenes sometimes, but oh well

Phetz posted:The bad guys from Far Cry 5 honestly aren't very MAGA besides being fascistic and vaguely christian. They're just kind of a bland, cult-flavored organization whose actions begin and end with Joseph Seed, who himself doesn't seem to have much of an ideology beyond his own sob story and a bunch of biblical rambling. There's very little to them, and the way they turn out in New Dawn is a lot more interesting. yeah this. i wish they had gone weird about the cult. like make them kinda have weird belief poo poo from The Apocryphal Gospels. i get what they are trying to do and i like the direction they go but idk five was dry.

They're like a small fraction of what they were in 4 with endless eagles. You get attacked occasionally, but it's like once every half hour unless you count the army dogs. 4 was seriously bonkers with that poo poo. This one is really just annoying coyotes sometimes, and I feel like I haven't even seen those in some time. The warthogs are uncommon unless you're looking for them, as are jaguars or whatever they are. There are surely plenty of valid reasons to skip this, but it's not like it's Far Cry 6: When Animals Attack! or anything.

Thanks for this, I think the quarter resolution thing kinda accounts for what my issue with this is. I need to temper my expectations and realize it's not going to be perfect because it's probably the engine more than anything.

In the 10 hours I've played so far it's happened 3 times. And I was near water so a croc attack kinda made sense. Also you can get a shotgun that shoots incendiary rounds fairly early, from one of the lighthouses, and that takes care of them pretty quick.

I知 enjoying this as a general gently caress around game, with one major bone to pick - is it really necessary that as soon as one soldier spots you, like 10 motherfuckers spawn from under every bush and tree? It痴 ridiculous.

I feel like the weapons balancing at least is mostly right in this game compared to 5, as I'm at least constantly changing my weapons and config vs. stick with the same silenced AR/deagle/bow/sniper set in the last one. a lot of that can probably be attributed to correctly nerfing silencers

Are the mouse controls for the helicopters in far cry 6 just broken or is there something I'm missing. It's impossible to do minor adjustments or aim at things easily. It feels like the game is constantly resetting the turn. Particularly in the X axis. Also the tanks have their own problems, they seem to have no ability to turn on the spot, and just rocket forward after a huge delay when you push forward. Most of the rest of the vehicles seem fine and do what you expect, so it's just really weird. Do they behave better with a controller?

It's all still just cartoonish caricatures though, both for the dictatorship and the rebels. I don't really mind that, except it's super jarring when Ubisoft is trying to tell such a serious story with these cartoonish elements as a backdrop. They should either drop the cartoonish depictions of LatAm guerrillas and go full grit, or go full Just Cause instead and drop any pretenses about this being a serious story (which is what I think they should do)
