Working my way into the main island and man, there are a lot of systems and things to do in this game. Not a bad thing! So far all the characters I've interacted with seem a step up from previous Far Cry games, where characters were either totally forgettable or downright obnoxious. The game overall feels like a definite upgrade from FC5, having a lot of fun. I think my only complaint so far is fall damage seems really extreme. There's probably a hat or something somewhere that mitigates it.

I agree about the fall damage, though it does make me laugh when you heal yourself after taking fall damage by re-setting your inexplicably broken ring finger. Wasn't there some kind of crouch when you land to roll out mechanic in one of the previous far cry's or am I thinking of Dying Light?

I am about 12~ hours in and at this point I have no idea how all the reviews got so caught up in all the ammo stuff. Unless you have a very specific goal in mind, make all rounds armour piercing ones, period. They have literally no downside, and have the upside of chewing up armoured people. Its not like "soft" targets dont get killed in a few bullets anyways. All the other ammo types give up something for their benefit, so if you just wanna play "normal" just use AP for everything. Have had exactly zero issue since I figured that out. For vehicles you can use a dedicated weapon with explosive rounds/get dynamite upgrade from your backpack, and all the resolver weapons are pretty insane and can beat up vehicles pretty easy as well. Also the 1887 sawed off starter shotgun is really good and im still using it religiously. You can tell a shooter is good if they have a good shotgun.

Yeah I am headshotting even "soft" targets just fine with ap rounds, really not much of an issue.

Wear an item of clothing that refunds headshots and the tiny 4-round magazine won't make a difference. Keep a shotgun or machine gun or something in a secondary slot for panic mode if you gently caress up. The sniper rifles are poo poo, though, and not really worth using unless you're really far away and can chance it not killing them.

So far the two dedicated sniper rifles I've found had absurdly slow projectile velocity and drop making them all but useless. I'm still using the basic MS16 rifle with ACOG for sniping and it's working fine for now. There should also be a toggle to Hide Supremo like you can hide your head armor.

Im only a few hours in but some quick observations. The quick ending was pretty cool. How the hell are these guerrillas still alive? They have blue arrows just pointing the way to all their hideouts. This poo poo should be over before brunch.

I was mediocre on FC 4, 5 and New Dawn, but finished them all because I dunno theres always something kind of cathartic about this type of game. The gun play also always delivers. So far, I think FC6 is significantly better than the previous games. Im playing on PS5, just got to the main world, and Im free flowing from place to place in between missions and feeling pretty awesome in big gun fights. The mobility and shooting is quite good and I feel I can rush around from cover to cover, zig zag through buildings, flank, etc and really close in kill the enemies. Its definitely a break away from the priors, where silenced bow/sniper action before going hot was pretty much mandatory to deal with the onslaught of ads. Something about the weapons being built out of literal guerrilla junk and the heavier focus on close-mid distance fighting makes this a lot more fun. The world, characters, female Dani, all I really dig. I like it so much more than FC5s setting and characters. Female Dani hums to herself while riding horseback, or sings along in the car, so many little things that flesh her out. The voice lines for some of the plot might feel basic but poo poo, they have to say a lot of this stuff as basic as possible to make sure people understand it. That speech from Carla though, about wanting to be feared? Holy poo poo that was a strong moment. The graphics arent amazing, they are very good and the world is extremely rich in detail and variety, but in comparison to BF2042 graphics, or some of the other native PS5 engines.. there is a sharpness and newness thats a bit missed. This often feels like a heavily pumped up TLOU engine instead of a Unreal 5 engine. If you like Far Cry even a bit, yeah this is more of it, but in a good way. A very fun and good way with tons of exploration (pays off richly, I have a few unique weapons already that really own hard), and definitely the most complex crafting/upgrade system to date for the series. So which of the 4 starting backpacks or resolver weapons do you all think is best to purchase first? The defender and EMP ones seem good, so does the crossbow. I have heard some say the rocket launcher is basically mandatory because theres so many enemy helicopters, which was a let down for them, you all feel thats the case?

You need some way of taking care of helicopters. That could be a machinegun. The crossbow is effective, but you can't recover the harpoons meaning it has limited ammo. Note that buying a Supremo backpack will also unlock a unique grenade type. Molotov for the rocket backpack, EMP for the emp backpack, etc.

Also a headshot is always a guaranteed kill with the bow unlike other weapons. *edit* I religiously used the bow in other games, but not so much in this game more because of the "flavour". I want more big explodey stuff since its it gives more of a rebel feel.

Bow has always been a kill on chest shot which is the reason people would take it over a sniper. Now it's headshot only but lots of thing kill on headshots so there isn't really a reason to take a bow.

Grenade launchers make short work of helicopters. Otherwise youll just have to use your default Rocket backpack, just make sure youve mopped up any ground troops before you let it rip

VanillaGorilla posted:Im 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? Its ridiculous. Yeah that's annoying. I thought it was because of a base having a lieutenant still around but it happens out on the road too.

Theres a unique gold shorty shotgun on the starting island with a scope and incendiary rounds and its baller as gently caress for close in work. Theres also a treasure chest n a tiny island on that island that can be opened with a key from chorizos quests that has a very good assault rifle. But the craziest Ive gotten so far is the unique handheld machine pistol that has such a high fire rate its recoil is atrocious, but if the rounds hit a a vehicle they become explosive burst rounds. Just tears cars and trucks wide open in a shower of sparks and fire.

What ammo do people favour for shotguns? The "shotgun shells" one that appears to be slugs apparently reduces damage by a ton? Should I install Buckshot, and how does that differ from the basic ammo?

I've basically just been using the m14 with the silencer for everything. Pop pop! Dead Fascist! Though is there a way to tell if a soldier is an informant or do I just have to walk up to every one without a gun and see if it lets me bribe them? Also i turned my mini map off by accident and I cannot figure out what key brings it back, there's none bound in the settings.

The bribe-able soldiers should have that black diamond with an exclamation point icon over their heads, like the guerillas who tell you where to find AA guns and whatnot. As for the minimap, I think you turn it back on in the HUD settings.

Is there any need to do hunting now? My previous experience with FarCry 3-5 is to spend a good portion of the early game hunting to make backpacks. Is it just to trade for materials you can find while running around or do they provide unique supplies? I'm thinking of turning on enemy outlines in the accessibility options as I'm having a real hard time seeing and distinguishing them from the scenary and civilians. Is it just me finding that?

That incendiary shotgun owns, I'm having a lot of fun with th weapon variation in this, especially compared to 5. I just had a song play on a car radio and the pc sang along with it and then kept singing it for a bit when I hopped out, that was a really cool touch. e] I also have a hella hard time spotting enemies in foliage, I usually just go full Nam style and unload a bunch of mg or shotgun into the general area

Unless I'm missing something the trading interface only lets you sell 1 of something or all of it at once. If you have a huge stockpile of 1000 gasoline or so and want to sell 200 units at $3 per unit, you have to sit and sell it one at a time and you have to hold down the sell button each time. When back in the game, the UI will then scroll through those individual $3 sales and play the sound effect for getting money 200 times.shortspecialbus posted:My biggest complaint is that it takes 3-4 rpg rounds to bring down the bigger rocket copters. Obnoxious. Try the Zeusito, one of the Resolver weapons you can buy from Juan for uranium. Charged lightning cannon that's downed every helicopter I've come across in one shot. Not sure if it's doing enough damage to destroy them of it it's just disabling them but either way they fall out of the sky and explode.
