Best times with my dad before he died. We were prom dress shopping for my sister and my dad and me were bored as hell. There was a GameStop across the street and he bought it for me. We knew my mom definitely wouldn’t like me having it so he took it and hid it under his seat. After that we got Chick Fil A and he got me anything I wanted. When we got home we left it in the car and went to bed. We woke up to play it together for about 13 hours straight. Best time ever. It was also the best jacksepticye series too 🙂

Without a doubt, this has been the most amazing Far Cry game. 30 hours in, taking my time, still have not completed my first playthrough. One of the best games I have ever played.
And I hate that this guy said there is no back story to these guys that just annoyed me. This guy obviously didn’t play through the whole game 100% and listen to the dialogue.
This game is one of the most underrated in the entire FC series. It definitely has its faults, but there's just something so...dare I say, "primal" about it.
I was an avid FC fan but skipped out on this one and got it on sale for $7 on Steam a few weeks ago. I’m loving it so far! Once you upgrade some skills the game really starts to shine. Having a pet Sabertooth Tiger is EPIC!
A lot of people may not remember. Years ago Ubisoft sent people surveys after Farcry 4,and ask. If they could pick the next Farcry, where would it be? The choices was Wild West, Outer Space, Primal/Cavemen,and a few others. Primal won.
I completed Far Cry Primal 100% a week a ago and it is one of my favorite games of all time! ♥️ I wish they would release a sequel to it in the near future.
This was actually really fun to play, I really enjoy it. Not to be a history nerd but 10000 years ago tribal warfare would've been the case and was a huge contributor for migration to different parts of the world. They're not dumb, we built upon what they've achieved (tools, housings, communities) but maybe we took it for granted, they were the foundation of human civilistion. Why do we start war in history, for leadership, land and resources. Some people were not native of a certain region and that causes war not to mention the cannibal tribe were probably neanderthals, an entirely different species.
You literally answered your own comment "Why do we start war? Land and resources". Tribal war, maybe not like in Primal, but in general, has been a common thing during the early stages of humanity. This is proven by countless bone finds. The stoneage man "ötzi" from present day Austria/Italy has literally been hunted down and killed by someone as his injuries have proven. The Neanderthals have been wiped out by Humans.
The eerie warm comforting feeling of the game brings this kind of zen relaxation for me. The utter realization that this is what Earth was like before, fresh air, gold atmosphere, green everywhere. An almost accurate simulation.
Absolutely my friend! Primal is the closest feeling/experience we’ll ever get to how things were in the Stone Age! But I feel Ubisoft really got it right with their research and honestly of course some things are going to be fictional for a video game standard, but as a big time nerd for this period on Earth, I think it’s 99.9% accurate on how things looked and the human race acted!
@@mattia3843 maybe? I'm guessing "TLOU2" is "The Last of Us 2", which I'm afraid I never played. Is there a similar plot point in that game or something like that?
@@mattia3843 I see. It's not an intentional reference. Roshani looked pissed at the end of FCP, and all the kids wind up hanging out at his shelter at the end. I just figured it was a matter of time before Roshani got tired of "commandering" the fields, and start an uprising with his child army.
If you go into it thinking of it as a caveman game not a far cry game, it’s amazing. This was the first far cry game I played and I went into thinking “oooo caveman smash other caveman with club” and I wasn’t disappointed.
I played it when it came out, it was actually the first far cry game I played believe it or not, and I'll just say I was blown away, I never played a game just like this, this whole concept! It had me hooked, I was so hooked I actually touched every aspect of the map, I did like everything you could and collected SO much, I just loved it I promise you it's worth it, I'm personally picky, but this was just dope.
I bought this game right after Christmas when Steam had a sale - was not disappointed - have done the story line once, now just trying to complete the caves and rest of the collectibles - loved the teaser after the credits - was hoping for a sequel
@@xbrandon yes and it's glorious. It adds an energy bar that slowly empties, and forces you to go back to a camp and rest periodically. You can keep it up longer by eating. A simple change but a very fitting one.
Survivor mode is perfectly executed in Primal, to the point where it's left me wishing for a version of Survivor mode to be integrated into every Far Cry game. Certain things about Primal are tailor-made for a good Survival mode, and it would be a challenge to work that into a modern world Far Cry, but there is still so much potential to make Far Cry games more immersive. Primal's Survivor mode is one of the best balances of fun action-y seamless gameplay with the friction and consequence of 'Surviving' and it really is so immersive.
The game is a masterpiece. I was prejudiced before I played it, I thought it'd be boring without modern weapons, but I was so wrong. I agree with some things pointed out in the video, but man, every second spent on collecting resources and crafting is worth spending just for the unique atmosphere. You really can feel it is 10 000 years ago and it is an amazing experience. Also taming different beasts and actually playing with them by your side is really fun. All beasts have different special abilities and you can find them really helpful. I just finished it the other day and I'm planning to go through it again some time next year. A sensational game!
Primal was the most immersive game from the series for me and was the most fun to play. The 10000 bc setting is exactly what the far cry template needed to fill the gaps of coherence so the story and characters felt excellent and in place. Tribal survival was exactly what youd expect to lead them. The story and game is pleasantly short so you're in the discovering phase most of the time and I felt no grinding. The primitive weapons actually gave me so much more than expected variety and possibilities that close to the end I was worried there wont be enough game left for me to do it all. Oh and its a bit more satisfyingly gory which was apparently something i was missing in the other games. :)
Ull, Takkar and Batari's social chemistry actually have some pretty profound origins that lead up into fc5 primarily, but all of the fc games in general. I may even say they're the most important villains in the series.
I hear the “why doesn’t everyone get along” argument for this game a lot. (I can’t remember how to spell the tribe names) Both enemy tribes have a way of life that actively endangers our tribe. The cannibal tribe actively hunts the good tribe and the fire tribe enslaves the good tribe. They did this because our tribe was divided so, takkar had to gather his people together to destroy the two bigger tribes and secure the good tribes survival.
The udam(cannibal people) are also expanding from the north as they're **almost entirely wiped out** and they have almost no other option than expansion, and unfortunately for the weenjia(good guys) they go about it violently. They aren't really evil, so much as desperate and at the end of their rope. The izila(fire) are just batshit crazy though, and also sacrifice many weenjia is rituals to appease a sun god
A little late here, I love your videos and your thoughts. This game to me was for some ofd reason one of the best games I’ve ever played mainly because of the setting made me feel like I was playing an entirely new type of game. I haven’t felt like that since Gears of War 1, Assassins Creed 1 or even something like skate 3 in terms of skateboarding games. Those games changed the way I felt about gaming entirely and even though the story isn’t amazing I didn’t expect it to be because of the setting but I truly felt like a caveman. Maybe it’s because of my lower expectation that I love those game so much.
I bypassed Primal initially because no guns or vehicles 12,000 years ago. That was a mistake. It's the most immersive game I've played and a masterpiece IMO. Strong storyline. Recapture the land of Oros from the 2 occupying tribes building your own tribe along the way.
If you want to play extra "immersive", turn off the reticle, detection meter, minimap, enemy tags, limit what you can craft, so no carrying 5 spears, 24 arrows, and 4 clubs. Also don't use the owl, and only tame canines. The game becomes much more challenging and perhaps tedious to some, but I enjoyed the torture >:D
I turn off minimap, detection meter, enemy tags, not using owl. Keep the reticle. leave the limits as per the game. The game became fun for me without being too challenging or tedious. No minimap is great for exploration.
I enjoyed FCP more than i should've I'm afraid. I explored every inch of the map and let me tell you, i really took my time with it cause i didn't want the game to end. Hopefully they'll release it for VR one day.
Literally just get it I finished it and it has a great story plot and the bad guys do have a background story to them also the animal taming in the game is so cool you feel like they are your actual pet and it feels like you have a actual bond with them too it’s so worth it and the animals aren’t that broken most that was happening was you couldn’t call it across the water 😭
First and foremost, get it on sale. Secondly, it’s really really fun! Probably the best far cry ever. Why? Well you know the whole system of capturing bases, in a game without guns this works best here. The landscape is the most amazing I’ve ever seen. You can tame animals, and upgrade your weapons. The game just works perfectly for the “far cry” formula, I really wish they make a medieval Far Cry just like primal.
@@Caspar_17 Far cry 5 has the best gameplay tho and thats what matters the most to me...also i liked FC5 story more than FC3 FC5 has a much more complex story
It's entirely untrue that people 12,000 years ago "weren't the smartest bunch" as you said. I haven't played Primal but if that's the way the game portrays them then that's sad. They were anatomically modern humans, and they were anatomically modern for literally tens of thousands of years before this game takes place. They may have actually been more "intelligent" however you want to define that as Cro Magnons had a slightly larger brain volume than modern Europeans do today. ALSO--- I recommend not using some punk ass little journalist website for your source on paleolithic lifespan. Firstly, the average is more like 35, not 25. Secondly the average is EXTREMELY misleading. This is basically statistics 101. Infant and small child mortality rates were much higher, so you have a lot of dead infants which dramatically bring down the AVERAGE life expectancy. The majority of those that made it into adulthood were living well into their 40s, 50s and 60s. Some were even older. TLDR; they weren't less or more intelligent than we are today, at all. And theyre genetically the same as modern sapiens. Also your figure on lifespan is wildly misleading. Sorry, not sorry.
Why even say sorry. That the problem with people today they are either too agressive with everyone or too quick to take back what they said or did with a ´sorry’. Just stick to what you believe. If you are sorry, then your are sorry, if you’re not then don’t say it.... I’m not sorry.
It all comes down to a bias to inflate ones own knowledge to be better than those of the past. I often think of the Roman legions that had the ability to chop down forests and construct new siege towers, ladders, large walls, and battering rams on the battlefield in a matter of days. A skill set that most modern people would find as impossible and daunting.
Far cry primal is absolutely without a doubt the best far cry game ever made to date as well as one of the greatest, most imaginative and ambitious video games in recent times period. The simplistic storyline is tremendously refreshing and an accurate representation of the probable conflicts between early agrarian and pre-agrarian Indo European societies. This game easily stands with The elder scrolls five Skyrim as potentially one of the greatest video games in all of human history.
In far cry history PRIMAL is the best, the creativity how they set up during 10000 bc, stealth takedowns were amazing,the beasts like sabretooth were fantastic AND EVEN UBISOFT MADE THEIR OWN LANGUAGE 👌👌👌🔥🔥
I remember buying this when I got my first good PC , the world was just stunning to me , It was the first time I ever got to play something good , it's 100% worth the price and it's such very underrated game.
It's my favorite Far Cry. I remember how skeptical I was of the setting (no guns, no vehicles, wtf is this Far Cry at all?), but it turned out to be one of the best games I ever played.
I just got this game because it was on sale and it’s by far the best game I’ve played in a long time. Probably since I played Fallout 3 the first time when it came out years ago and that’s saying a lot. I have a really short attention span for games as an adult, especially big, open world games and RPG’s. Even though those used to be my favorite games but anyways, this game is a really great game. I’ve heard some mixed reviews about it but steam had mostly good reviews and I’m absolutely addicted to it. I guess if you’re coming from Far cry as a fan, it might have seemed odd but i don’t have any attachment to the series. I played the first and second one and thought they were good but nothing that blew me away but Primal has really drawn me in and it could be the atmosphere honestly. I really like the time period the game takes place in and I love exploring the wilderness. I find myself getting lost more in side quests and exploration more than the actual game’s main story, which is good BTW but the game is very addicting. I only wish I played it when it came out but I never had a next gen console. Wait for it to go on sale again or go to g2a website and get a steam code if you got a pc. It’s worth every penny IMO, if you’re into adventure games in big, open world sandboxes.
i just love this game, one of the best primitive stealth game I loved. honestly I started on farcry 5 which I completed 100% then with an ongoing gameplay on New dawn... love this 2 game. then I kept going back to Primal because I just love the feeling of using primitive tools in stealth kills and also I love taming wild animals!
So I guess I should at least try it for a few hours. It´s already bought and maybe the game pleases me. I love your new style. It´s great. It´s funny, but the viewers get useful info as well. Keep it!
I love my survival games and iv had this since it came out. I got about 40% though it and deleted it for space. Went more than a year without playing it. Rdownloaded it and suddenly its got a survival mode. I delete my save to play survival mode. And im thoroughly enjoying it. the risk vs reward is much greater and resources are actually usefull.
As somebody who has studied ancient history and this era specifically, it really appeals to me and I still play it today, with it remaining one of my fave games ever. I guess if you don't understand history, this time especially, its just another time piece open world game.
The language spoken in primal is actually 3 languages! Although 2 of them are very similar these being udam and wenja. They are all reconstructions of Proto-indo-european, wenja and udam are reconstructions that are different from izilla because they were reconstructed to be a little bit older than izilla and Proto-indo-european and they are by far the languages that are farther from our own Indo-European languages since they are "older" (only from a linguistic point of view). Izilla on the other hand is very similar to normal Proto-indo-european! If you really listen to the languages and read them online you can even understand some words and sometimes full on sentences depending on what languages you speak which is very cool!(there is a blog that the developers made that explains how they reconstructed it and where you can learn how to speak them)
Far Cry Primal is the very first Far Cry game I've ever played, so naturally, it's going to have a place in my heart. Sure, obviously, it's not a perfect game - not just from a story and character perspective, but also from a prehistory perspective - but damn it, I had an absolute blast playing it.

I bought it when it released, just started playing it today. I've ran out games to play so I've been playing Ubisoft stuff. Played through the Ghost Recon stuff, now I'm playing Far Cry, have Assassin's Creed up next.
As someone that didn’t play the far cry games as they came out I started with 5. It is nice to get to see the progression in game development as I play the older games. I played 5 then new dawn 4 just finished 3. Now I am working on primal before 6 comes out and I really like primal. 3 was good but lacking in the over all story. 4 was better but the map has way to much stuff in it if you buy the maps and pagen was not in the game enough my opinion.
yes definitly! i've always wanted this game since it came out but couldn't get it bcs i didn't have nextgen console or pc. now i can finally play it and it's totally worth it!
As much as you mention the protagonist not having a personality or any dialog, I think you'd love FC Blood Dragon! I think I remember you saying you hadn't played it, in another video. I've played everything FC... multiple times, and this is my favorite of the in-betweener games.
It’s still a beautiful looking game. I agree with the melee combat, it should’ve been a bit deeper considering you’re using spears and clubs predominantly. The gathering part where you have to stop and hold E isn’t really a big deal as you can just hold E as you’re running past anything or dead bodies and it’ll still pick them up without having to stop
About only 4% of your viewers being subscribed, I personally only look up reviews on games I'm thinking of buying. I usually click the first video that is under 10 minutes long. When I'm watching game reviews, I'm also browsing eBay. Right now I'm considering Primal and Outer Worlds
I disagree with almost all of your comments that were negative. I guess it’s a matter of opinion, but I thought this game was awesome. I have been playing it for two weeks and it is my first time playing a far cry game. So I have no basis for comparison with the other titles. I love the open world aspect very similar to Skyrim, only the enemies and monsters don’t level with you. It makes you stay in your lane. I do wish there were more secret locations or special items you could discover in the open map.
@parvusimia 922 Why is it that every time someone makes a very negative review of Primal, they get almost everything wrong. The videos are literally full of errors and bad faith comparisons.
Dude it was the most unique because of not having guns And when you say that you sound like the average cod fan. But not having guns, that’s what made it fun and your intellect of the story was the same as a fucking Udam club warrior there was an actual story to this and the gathering was for the surviving aspect and hardly a chore unless you were on survivor mode it feels like you skipped most of the cutscenes (which by the way we’re pretty fucking good) Don’t get me wrong combat could have been better yes but the whole idea of this game in my opinion especially if you’ve ever played on perma death (or at least the whole game on expert) is what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. you gain More strength and craft better weapons and adapt to the harsh environment of this time period where you are obviously not the top of the food chain just yet
I honestly loved far cry primal. It’s the far cry that gave me the most memories. My most memorable is when I was hunting so I was using hunter vision. I kept hearing this cracking noise and lo and behold I was being stalked by a jaguar. Mf was just crouched slowly walking towards me. Scared the shit out of me. Seeing my blood fang single handedly take down a mammoth and seeing my other tames doing takedowns always awestruck me too
This was my favorite game of all time. Just can't stop replaying it. The only other Farcry game I've played is 5, and Primal is way better than that. I highly recommend it.
Primal was probably my favorite of the far cry series. I mean it has no guns! That was actually a selling point to me.... Every game now days has guns...so yeah its not a rinse and repeat of every other boring game out there, so it made it refreshing for me!
i got this game in 2016 but i never made time to finish it i was busy playing other games (mkx, nba2k, and dragonball xenoverse) also handled some life situations but now im thinking of redownloading it i cant wait to play this again 💯 i enjoyed the wildlife aspect of it
I've never played a Far Cry game and have no interest, but I bought Primal because of the setting and I love it. The only real annoying things are that you get spotted really fast and sometimes your new pet will walk off a cliff and die...not great in hardcore where if the pet dies it's dead, no recalling it to you.
Playing this in 2021 ok 4k on video projector. The world is fantastic and refreshing, graphics are gorgeous despite the aging engine. Yeah some defaults but it's defiantly a good game if taken on sales. Honestly doing a game in prehistoric times was a good idea. Maybe a better engine, better ideas would make a perfect Primal 2.
Yeah, so the life expectancy was really low back then, so people had to have children at a young age to survive as a whole, which explains why women in the 1500’s married really young.
Life expectancy was so low because so many died so young. Once you got through the difficulties of birth and early childhood, your chances to live a long life were much higher.
I've actually gotten more and more interested in playing Primal throughout the years. Funny how you released this video on the exact moment I'm thinking of finally playing it.
Just try it. It’s worth the $60 but I’d buy it from CDkeys. It’s always on sale there. They sell to you as a corporation so it goes through PayPal. 100% legit. I love it. 3 is my favorite followed by 2 then 4 and then 5. (:
@@morganc.m1830 I know it’s 29.99 we all know that. I said it’s worth the $60 any other game runs. That’s my point.

@@splork8016 also less carry ability and more dangerous nights
Survivor mode is perfectly executed in Primal, to the point where it's left me wishing for a version of Survivor mode to be integrated into every Far Cry game. Certain things about Primal are tailor-made for a good Survival mode, and it would be a challenge to work that into a modern world Far Cry, but there is still so much potential to make Far Cry games more immersive. Primal's Survivor mode is one of the best balances of fun action-y seamless gameplay with the friction and consequence of 'Surviving' and it really is so immersive.

Been really enjoying the more comedic tone of the recent reviews.
The game is a masterpiece. I was prejudiced before I played it, I thought it'd be boring without modern weapons, but I was so wrong. I agree with some things pointed out in the video, but man, every second spent on collecting resources and crafting is worth spending just for the unique atmosphere. You really can feel it is 10 000 years ago and it is an amazing experience. Also taming different beasts and actually playing with them by your side is really fun. All beasts have different special abilities and you can find them really helpful. I just finished it the other day and I'm planning to go through it again some time next year. A sensational game!
This is what maturing as a gamer looks like
2016 or 2021,it remains a really amazing game
I replayed Primal last year and I forgot how much I loved it. I'd love it if they made another Primal spinoff
Bro you didnt pay attention to the story line very well it seems...
Primal was the most immersive game from the series for me and was the most fun to play. The 10000 bc setting is exactly what the far cry template needed to fill the gaps of coherence so the story and characters felt excellent and in place. Tribal survival was exactly what youd expect to lead them. The story and game is pleasantly short so you're in the discovering phase most of the time and I felt no grinding. The primitive weapons actually gave me so much more than expected variety and possibilities that close to the end I was worried there wont be enough game left for me to do it all. Oh and its a bit more satisfyingly gory which was apparently something i was missing in the other games. :)
Ull, Takkar and Batari's social chemistry actually have some pretty profound origins that lead up into fc5 primarily, but all of the fc games in general. I may even say they're the most important villains in the series.
?
I’ve completed this game like 30 times and I never get bored of it
ELECTR00 you are my man👌
@@dav123burs6 🤝🤝🤝
i am planing buy this its really good ?
Since the game came out I’ve been doing a yearly replay, and I’ve enjoyed it each and every time.
Look I'm not saying it's a masterpiece but do people understand the balls it takes to make a game like this and have it turn out good!
I hear the “why doesn’t everyone get along” argument for this game a lot. (I can’t remember how to spell the tribe names) Both enemy tribes have a way of life that actively endangers our tribe. The cannibal tribe actively hunts the good tribe and the fire tribe enslaves the good tribe. They did this because our tribe was divided so, takkar had to gather his people together to destroy the two bigger tribes and secure the good tribes survival.
The udam(cannibal people) are also expanding from the north as they're **almost entirely wiped out** and they have almost no other option than expansion, and unfortunately for the weenjia(good guys) they go about it violently. They aren't really evil, so much as desperate and at the end of their rope.
The izila(fire) are just batshit crazy though, and also sacrifice many weenjia is rituals to appease a sun god
A little late here, I love your videos and your thoughts. This game to me was for some ofd reason one of the best games I’ve ever played mainly because of the setting made me feel like I was playing an entirely new type of game. I haven’t felt like that since Gears of War 1, Assassins Creed 1 or even something like skate 3 in terms of skateboarding games. Those games changed the way I felt about gaming entirely and even though the story isn’t amazing I didn’t expect it to be because of the setting but I truly felt like a caveman. Maybe it’s because of my lower expectation that I love those game so much.
The music and exploration atmosphere is amazing
All your comments convinced me to buy it just right now.
I bypassed Primal initially because no guns or vehicles 12,000 years ago. That was a mistake. It's the most immersive game I've played and a masterpiece IMO. Strong storyline. Recapture the land of Oros from the 2 occupying tribes building your own tribe along the way.
If you want to play extra "immersive", turn off the reticle, detection meter, minimap, enemy tags, limit what you can craft, so no carrying 5 spears, 24 arrows, and 4 clubs. Also don't use the owl, and only tame canines. The game becomes much more challenging and perhaps tedious to some, but I enjoyed the torture >:D
some people enjoy CBT, that doesn't mean it's a good idea
I turn off minimap, detection meter, enemy tags, not using owl.
Keep the reticle. leave the limits as per the game.
The game became fun for me without being too challenging or tedious. No minimap is great for exploration.
One of the most underrated games I’ve ever played.
I enjoyed FCP more than i should've I'm afraid. I explored every inch of the map and let me tell you, i really took my time with it cause i didn't want the game to end. Hopefully they'll release it for VR one day.
Oh, that lit up my gaming boner. FC Primal in VR would be superb!
Literally just get it I finished it and it has a great story plot and the bad guys do have a background story to them also the animal taming in the game is so cool you feel like they are your actual pet and it feels like you have a actual bond with them too it’s so worth it and the animals aren’t that broken most that was happening was you couldn’t call it across the water 😭
I’ve been considering getting this game cause I like the whole primal age games so ty
Get it! You won’t regret it! ♥️💪🏼
dont get it it is terrible buy one of the mafia games, they are great
First and foremost, get it on sale. Secondly, it’s really really fun! Probably the best far cry ever. Why? Well you know the whole system of capturing bases, in a game without guns this works best here. The landscape is the most amazing I’ve ever seen. You can tame animals, and upgrade your weapons. The game just works perfectly for the “far cry” formula, I really wish they make a medieval Far Cry just like primal.
@@soliderarmatang5664 Far Cry 3 is the best, great protagonist, great villain, great open world
@@Caspar_17 Far cry 5 has the best gameplay tho and thats what matters the most to me...also i liked FC5 story more than FC3 FC5 has a much more complex story
I'm in lockdown in NZ and I've downloaded this again. It's an absolute gem 🤙🏾I played it many years ago and it has a special place in my heart
It's entirely untrue that people 12,000 years ago "weren't the smartest bunch" as you said. I haven't played Primal but if that's the way the game portrays them then that's sad. They were anatomically modern humans, and they were anatomically modern for literally tens of thousands of years before this game takes place. They may have actually been more "intelligent" however you want to define that as Cro Magnons had a slightly larger brain volume than modern Europeans do today.
ALSO--- I recommend not using some punk ass little journalist website for your source on paleolithic lifespan. Firstly, the average is more like 35, not 25. Secondly the average is EXTREMELY misleading. This is basically statistics 101. Infant and small child mortality rates were much higher, so you have a lot of dead infants which dramatically bring down the AVERAGE life expectancy. The majority of those that made it into adulthood were living well into their 40s, 50s and 60s. Some were even older.
TLDR; they weren't less or more intelligent than we are today, at all. And theyre genetically the same as modern sapiens. Also your figure on lifespan is wildly misleading. Sorry, not sorry.
This needed to be said
They were smart they survived 99% of things trying eat or crush them with just wood and stone
We couldn't
survive last 2 days lost in woods lolol
Why even say sorry. That the problem with people today they are either too agressive with everyone or too quick to take back what they said or did with a ´sorry’. Just stick to what you believe. If you are sorry, then your are sorry, if you’re not then don’t say it.... I’m not sorry.
It all comes down to a bias to inflate ones own knowledge to be better than those of the past.
I often think of the Roman legions that had the ability to chop down forests and construct new siege towers, ladders, large walls, and battering rams on the battlefield in a matter of days.
A skill set that most modern people would find as impossible and daunting.
I wish the game was longer. i fell inlove with this game ever since i got it.
I have been playing far cry primal for years, every time I start a new game it feels like the first time. Great game!
Far cry primal is absolutely without a doubt the best far cry game ever made to date as well as one of the greatest, most imaginative and ambitious video games in recent times period. The simplistic storyline is tremendously refreshing and an accurate representation of the probable conflicts between early agrarian and pre-agrarian Indo European societies. This game easily stands with The elder scrolls five Skyrim as potentially one of the greatest video games in all of human history.
Agree
Agreed. I’ve been playing since early 2017 and still come back and replay the game :)
Picked up and started playing for the first time yesterday, the game is so much fun and feels so fresh 😃👌
Bro i bought today and will try it 👌🏽
@@Matze707 enjoy 😊
In far cry history PRIMAL is the best, the creativity how they set up during 10000 bc, stealth takedowns were amazing,the beasts like sabretooth were fantastic AND EVEN UBISOFT MADE THEIR OWN LANGUAGE 👌👌👌🔥🔥
They didn't actually make their own language, it's a dialect of indo-european
I remember buying this when I got my first good PC , the world was just stunning to me , It was the first time I ever got to play something good , it's 100% worth the price and it's such very underrated game.
It's my favorite Far Cry. I remember how skeptical I was of the setting (no guns, no vehicles, wtf is this Far Cry at all?), but it turned out to be one of the best games I ever played.
Why would you even think that?
@@bigdick4090ti It's beautiful and it's wild.
I just got this game because it was on sale and it’s by far the best game I’ve played in a long time. Probably since I played Fallout 3 the first time when it came out years ago and that’s saying a lot.
I have a really short attention span for games as an adult, especially big, open world games and RPG’s. Even though those used to be my favorite games but anyways, this game is a really great game. I’ve heard some mixed reviews about it but steam had mostly good reviews and I’m absolutely addicted to it.
I guess if you’re coming from Far cry as a fan, it might have seemed odd but i don’t have any attachment to the series. I played the first and second one and thought they were good but nothing that blew me away but Primal has really drawn me in and it could be the atmosphere honestly.
I really like the time period the game takes place in and I love exploring the wilderness. I find myself getting lost more in side quests and exploration more than the actual game’s main story, which is good BTW but the game is very addicting. I only wish I played it when it came out but I never had a next gen console.
Wait for it to go on sale again or go to g2a website and get a steam code if you got a pc. It’s worth every penny IMO, if you’re into adventure games in big, open world sandboxes.
I enjoyed it for the scenery. Some locations are truly amazing.
The caves however are incredibly annoying. Finding the paintings became a shore.
I agree. I love the game but finding the cave paintings to 100% it is a chore toward the end.
i just love this game, one of the best primitive stealth game I loved. honestly I started on farcry 5 which I completed 100% then with an ongoing gameplay on New dawn... love this 2 game. then I kept going back to Primal because I just love the feeling of using primitive tools in stealth kills and also I love taming wild animals!
You can tame my animal
So I guess I should at least try it for a few hours. It´s already bought and maybe the game pleases me. I love your new style. It´s great. It´s funny, but the viewers get useful info as well. Keep it!
My favourite game of all time, and hoping for a sequel
I love my survival games and iv had this since it came out. I got about 40% though it and deleted it for space.
Went more than a year without playing it.
Rdownloaded it and suddenly its got a survival mode.
I delete my save to play survival mode.
And im thoroughly enjoying it.
the risk vs reward is much greater and resources are actually usefull.
As somebody who has studied ancient history and this era specifically, it really appeals to me and I still play it today, with it remaining one of my fave games ever. I guess if you don't understand history, this time especially, its just another time piece open world game.
ABOUT TO REPLAY THIS GAME FOR MY CHANNEL HYPED 💯😎
The language spoken in primal is actually 3 languages! Although 2 of them are very similar these being udam and wenja. They are all reconstructions of Proto-indo-european, wenja and udam are reconstructions that are different from izilla because they were reconstructed to be a little bit older than izilla and Proto-indo-european and they are by far the languages that are farther from our own Indo-European languages since they are "older" (only from a linguistic point of view). Izilla on the other hand is very similar to normal Proto-indo-european! If you really listen to the languages and read them online you can even understand some words and sometimes full on sentences depending on what languages you speak which is very cool!(there is a blog that the developers made that explains how they reconstructed it and where you can learn how to speak them)
Far Cry Primal is the very first Far Cry game I've ever played, so naturally, it's going to have a place in my heart. Sure, obviously, it's not a perfect game - not just from a story and character perspective, but also from a prehistory perspective - but damn it, I had an absolute blast playing it.

this game’s a masterpiece. I played it when it came out and kinda want to revisit it
I bought it when it released, just started playing it today.
I've ran out games to play so I've been playing Ubisoft stuff. Played through the Ghost Recon stuff, now I'm playing Far Cry, have Assassin's Creed up next.
As someone that didn’t play the far cry games as they came out I started with 5. It is nice to get to see the progression in game development as I play the older games. I played 5 then new dawn 4 just finished 3. Now I am working on primal before 6 comes out and I really like primal. 3 was good but lacking in the over all story. 4 was better but the map has way to much stuff in it if you buy the maps and pagen was not in the game enough my opinion.
“3 was good but lacking in the over all story” did we play the same game?
yes definitly! i've always wanted this game since it came out but couldn't get it bcs i didn't have nextgen console or pc. now i can finally play it and it's totally worth it!
How does it look, and run, on the PS5?
And I subscribed 🍻
As much as you mention the protagonist not having a personality or any dialog, I think you'd love FC Blood Dragon! I think I remember you saying you hadn't played it, in another video. I've played everything FC... multiple times, and this is my favorite of the in-betweener games.
This was my second favorite game in the series.
Man, really love how you edit your videos, love it. This is the way. I subscribed today 👍🏼.
This is one of those games people hate for no reason yet the game itself is very enjoyable
It’s still a beautiful looking game. I agree with the melee combat, it should’ve been a bit deeper considering you’re using spears and clubs predominantly. The gathering part where you have to stop and hold E isn’t really a big deal as you can just hold E as you’re running past anything or dead bodies and it’ll still pick them up without having to stop
The character identified as "Bacatari" is "Batari" (BA-ta-ri).
AA or AAA?
@@JPEG0812 I just got the joke! HA!
About only 4% of your viewers being subscribed, I personally only look up reviews on games I'm thinking of buying. I usually click the first video that is under 10 minutes long. When I'm watching game reviews, I'm also browsing eBay.
Right now I'm considering Primal and Outer Worlds
Imo they should have made this game a franchise and not a Far Cry, could have been a good survival game
Totally agree however this game does far cry better than any far cry game so I can see why they did it this way
I disagree with almost all of your comments that were negative. I guess it’s a matter of opinion, but I thought this game was awesome. I have been playing it for two weeks and it is my first time playing a far cry game. So I have no basis for comparison with the other titles. I love the open world aspect very similar to Skyrim, only the enemies and monsters don’t level with you. It makes you stay in your lane. I do wish there were more secret locations or special items you could discover in the open map.
@parvusimia 922 Why is it that every time someone makes a very negative review of Primal, they get almost everything wrong. The videos are literally full of errors and bad faith comparisons.
I requested it in the discord months ago and you did it wow.
same
If you think about it they’re not supposed to have development, it’s just rivals in a time of survival and that’s what makes this game fun
Great review... hilarious commentary 😂👍
Hey man this content was really fun, laughed during all the small yokes. Keep it up.
Dude it was the most unique because of not having guns And when you say that you sound like the average cod fan. But not having guns, that’s what made it fun and your intellect of the story was the same as a fucking Udam club warrior there was an actual story to this and the gathering was for the surviving aspect and hardly a chore unless you were on survivor mode it feels like you skipped most of the cutscenes (which by the way we’re pretty fucking good) Don’t get me wrong combat could have been better yes but the whole idea of this game in my opinion especially if you’ve ever played on perma death (or at least the whole game on expert) is what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. you gain More strength and craft better weapons and adapt to the harsh environment of this time period where you are obviously not the top of the food chain just yet
Far cry is literally based on gunplay, a far cry with out guns is not far cry
But the entire point of far cry is the gunplay......
@blast it was ALWAYS built around realistic gunplay. That was like 80% of the fun
@blast Far cry gameplay is only about guns
@blast it's like having a battlefield game and then making it medieval
I honestly loved far cry primal. It’s the far cry that gave me the most memories. My most memorable is when I was hunting so I was using hunter vision. I kept hearing this cracking noise and lo and behold I was being stalked by a jaguar. Mf was just crouched slowly walking towards me. Scared the shit out of me. Seeing my blood fang single handedly take down a mammoth and seeing my other tames doing takedowns always awestruck me too
How is it possible for you reviews to get better every time lol? Loving the comedic reviews!
This was my favorite game of all time. Just can't stop replaying it. The only other Farcry game I've played is 5, and Primal is way better than that. I highly recommend it.
Primal was probably my favorite of the far cry series. I mean it has no guns! That was actually a selling point to me.... Every game now days has guns...so yeah its not a rinse and repeat of every other boring game out there, so it made it refreshing for me!
Thank God I discovered your channel, such a great place :D You almost have the same gaming taste as me
My first platinum so it will always have a special place in my memories.
i got this game in 2016 but i never made time to finish it i was busy playing other games (mkx, nba2k, and dragonball xenoverse) also handled some life situations but now im thinking of redownloading it i cant wait to play this again 💯 i enjoyed the wildlife aspect of it
Personally I disagree with alot that was said in this review for example the story I think was fine and I liked takkar as a protagonist
I've never played a Far Cry game and have no interest, but I bought Primal because of the setting and I love it.
The only real annoying things are that you get spotted really fast and sometimes your new pet will walk off a cliff and die...not great in hardcore where if the pet dies it's dead, no recalling it to you.
Playing this in 2021 ok 4k on video projector. The world is fantastic and refreshing, graphics are gorgeous despite the aging engine. Yeah some defaults but it's defiantly a good game if taken on sales. Honestly doing a game in prehistoric times was a good idea. Maybe a better engine, better ideas would make a perfect Primal 2.
Great game, sometimes you don't need explosions, guns, hardware and tech ,less is more ,an immersive world you can lose yourself in
I will subscribe because your videos are far better then some of them game reviewers but not perfect but still for what it is its solid 💪💪💪
Yeah, so the life expectancy was really low back then, so people had to have children at a young age to survive as a whole, which explains why women in the 1500’s married really young.
Life expectancy was so low because so many died so young. Once you got through the difficulties of birth and early childhood, your chances to live a long life were much higher.
