Why the gently caress do I start drowning underwater after 10 seconds? TEN SECONDS.


Otherwise, I love this game.

Holy poo poo Philly is annoying. I hate try-hard wacky character's more than the more common try-hard edgelord ones.

Other than that, game owns. Best Far Cry since 3 (though I'm judging that by how 3 was at the time - I'm guessing it hasn't aged well)

I don't know if I'm google searching it wrong, but how do you refill ammo for your Supremo weapons? Like the flamethrower and shield/shotgun? Do you have to return to a base to do it?

The big ammo crates (the ones you have to use manually) fully refill your ammo, including resolvers and gadgets.

Super enjoying this game so far, level 12 now and it's so nice to be able to just spend a couple hours clearing out different bases and such without being railroaded into the story.

My favorite thing in fc5 was prepper stashes tho and while the treasure hunts in this are also a shitload of fun I wish there were like ten times as many lol

Also just noticed that your cantina buff duration pauses in-menu which is nice, lots of qol stuff like that in this after 5 like auto-looting enemies/animals which saves so much drat time and giving you so many skills upfront vs the skill tree

Far Cry 6: Game's dope. Best one in a while, for sure. I agree that it really needs to add loadouts though.

Kinda sorta Far Cry-adjacent: the newly released remasters of Crysis 2 and 3 are currently 30% off on the US playstation store ($20.99 each instead of $29.99).

3 hasnt aged well at all on so many levels. vass is just a well acted weird rear end in a top hat with a possibly hosed up backstory if you read between the lines and the other villians are Dickhead Afrikaner crime lord or Gay rapist man. plus lots of weird problatic poo poo plus the lovely endings and the writer being a weird hack. plus more importantly. the gameplay and mechanics don't hold up.




i think 4 holds up the best because the villian is actually likable but scary, the gameplay loop is fun. its somewhat cynical but most of the characters are solid.

I really like this game. Best Far Cry game in a long time

I very, very rarely buy full price AAA games. For some reason, I guess I had a bad day at work and was kinda drunk or something and I just decided I wanted to buy this one. Great decision luckily because it owns. It's a bit like Far Cry 3 or 4 except way better imo. More features, better gameplay, more fun in general.

I was pretty ready to poo poo on it since I'm not a big ubisoft fan but gently caress, they did a good job


yeah, i am actually enjoying it right now. i am doing random side missions with the murder rooster and murdering dozens of fascists'. i do with helicopters were easier to shoot down but whatever.

I was actually wondering why Dani is canonically a dog person. I chalked it up to "trying to give the protagonist some character traits" but an in-joke about the actor is pretty funny too.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

Speaking of wacky guns there are two of them I really like so far. The one that fires an entire 4th of July’s worth of mortar fireworks at a target (exploding like fireworks) and the one that looks like a giant potato cannon that shoots a timed sticky bomb. As the enemy AI starts trotting out more and more crazy armored units, I start trotting out more and more explosions.

Fyi that fireworks gun has an alt fire that just fires one rocket at a time. Depends if you ads or not, like the flamethrower.

Why are the textures in this game so horrible lol. I'm playing on a 3080 with everything on Ultra and some of these materials and flames are like sub-PS3 quality, that's with all the HD texture stuff installed. Can this be fixed at all?

Fire, as well as most special effects, only render at quarter resolution, so it looks super pixelated and janky.

It's a bug with the ultra textures as far as I can tell. A bunch of them don't load properly and go to their low counterparts. High setting looks pretty good though.

Digital foundry mentioned this as a known issue. Disable the high res pack for now if you're on a 3080 with "only" 10GB Video memory instead of the 11 GB required.

The main gun shop is the guerilla garrison you build at one of your camps.

Most guns are found in crates.

There’s one on Libertad island near the boat spawn point, and taking over a military target also seems to always add a vendor there.

But those guns aren’t really worth it. The best way is to get the HQ expansion that sells guns and upgrade that.

Juan has his own store back on the starter island, you can access the store at bases that you have taken over. The vendors have a shopping cart icon. All guns except the special "resolver" guns can be found in crates in the game.
These are the "Libertad" and "FND" crates. The actual weapon crates give you unique versions of weapons. The unique weapons come with pre-set mods that can't be changed. You can find regular versions of all the unique guns that you can modify how you want.

I've been running around for what feels too long with babby's first revolutionary military surplus guns. I did a story mission and found an LMG in a base. I hope I start finding cooler poo poo soon. Like I got the tostador from the story mission but man these flamethrowers feel bad to fire. Turok 2 nailed how flamethrowers should feel like 20 years ago, why can't more games imitate that
Also this game sure does chug for being a PS5 game.

Just check your map for crates, you'll be swimming in guns before you know it.
