  • Far Cry 6 lacks the elements that make a Far Cry game interesting. It's a soulless open world with lots of nonsense and a cluttered map that makes one question Ubisoft's intentions. I'll explain why Far Cry 6 didn't feel like a Far Cry Game in this video.

      Indeed, gameplay was always more important in those games, but at least they always had a decent story with meaningful stuff. However, Far Cry 6 throws all of that stuff out the second it lets you play the game sadly. Also, I believe that Far Cry 4 made everything good about Far Cry 3 even better and it's a stronger entry in the series in general.

    I didn’t have a problem with Anton’s lack of representation, he’s running the country and doesn’t have time to chase me down. But having Admiral Benitez was dumb, they try to portray a FASCIST REGIME that has a WOMAN in charge of the entire navy. What I didn’t like about this game was that it’s clearly trying to be a commentary on Cuba, but they swapped communism with fascism yet didn’t even do a convincing job of portraying fascism. Anton’s FASCIST regime is somehow so progressive that they’re perfectly fine with having a WOMAN as their Admiral of their entire navy, but they draw a line at trans people existing. Ubisoft doesn’t know what fascism is

There’s also this dune buggy thing that a transform into a plane that’s extremely fun to drive. There’s this one companion that’s like a black Panther that’s straight up overpowered and the best one in the game.

    The reason Castillo barely knows Danny exists and focuses on Clara is the whole "Girl Power to the Max" thing Ubisoft has been stuck on since Assassins Creed Odyssey. They had to make Clara the star of the show to make sure that whatever gender the players chose(and they damn well knew what gender the vast majority would choose), an Ultimate Girlboss would be the real star of the story.

    • @TheCrimsonRevenger
      @TheCrimsonRevenger 8 днів тому +8

      @@TruePhoque Makes sense that Antoine would have a focus on every faction leader but Dany. Each of the other factions were all lead by a girlboss too. Except for the one that was split between girlboss and transboss. The farmers were all about setting up the blade chick as the girlboss star, and the Matanzas faction was the girlboss/transboss duo. And by far the worst, most non-sensical quest chain of the game.
      The only one I liked because at least it had comedy was El Tigre's faction....so naturally they killed him off so we could focus on the Zoomer Squad lead by...you guessed it. Another girlboss. And of course Tigre's team got taken over by the cranky geriatric girlboss.
      Ironic that the Tigre quest line killed the only girl in the whole damn game that I found genuinely likable.
      Typical Ubisoft playbook for the last decade. They were gonnas make abso-damn-sure that whatever gender choice the players made, the girls...even the girl with a mustache...were gonna be driving the story.
      Can you think of another reason why Dani seemed so unimportant to Castillo for most of the game?
      Awesome female protagonists are not new to gamers but these cringe AF girlbosses? I'm over it. It's to a point now where I just assume any female on screen...especially if it's Ubisoft...is gonna be the cringiest girlboss who ever girlbossed a girlboss. These clowns ruining gaming are even retroactively breaking once-great heroines like Lara Croft.
      The gaming industry layoffs are not a problem. They're a solution. But we still got years ahead of us before any semblance of normalcy and quality returns.

    Here’s what I didn’t like about it. 1. The RPG mechanics. I don’t want a leveling system or gun levels or any of that crap I just want to use what I like without worrying about what level gear it is an effectiveness on enemies, 2. I thought the backpack weapons were lowkey lame. 3. The fact there was a whole city in the open world and you couldn’t really do much in it like take vehicles and aircraft in 4. The removal of far cry arcade. 5. The graphics in my opinion look worse than far cry 5. 6. The story was kind of forgettable which is a crime when you have Giancarlo as your main villain. 7. The gameplay felt clunky. If I had to guess I think it’s from the rpg mechanics whereas far cry 5 was much smoother. And 8. I think the open world was kind of forgettable and I didn’t really need a central hub area. Also I guess 9. A lot of the gear and weapons were lame anyway.
    One positive thing I have to say is the stranger things dlc was kind of cool. I just wish we got to fight more enemies from the show in it. But I had a good time with that expansion.

    I had only three issues with it: the fact that when you ran out of ammo you couldn’t pick up the last bad guy’s gun and keep shooting, the fact that you in a town, equipped with a grappling hook, couldn’t grappel on to all the hundreds of railings and rooftops that littered the game and that they missed the opportunity to let the player take advantage of the fact that little chorizo brought tools with him.
    The fact that the map was large and not completely jampacked seemed reasonable since it was a country this time instead of that small region that was Kyrat which was supposed to be an entire country.
    I also think games sometimes need to evolve in more than just graphic and FC6 was not the best game in the series but hopefully they take with them what did work and let go of what didn’t.

    • @TruePhoque

      These are some interesting things you brought up. I totally agree with you on the gun problem. Like, why can't Dani, a guerilla, pick up weapons from ground? Wasn't Juan screaming the alphabet of being a guerilla fighter from the beginning of the game?
      And the grapple hook reminded me of how clunky the "supposed" parkour mechanic of the game is which forces the player to jump and grab ledges from certain angles... Sometimes doing those mini platformer missions where you have to follow the treasure route could become extremely painful... So yeah, they really should have utilized the grapple hook more than just using it in convenient locations.

Ultimately this was a cook game...I love cruising around Yara listening to spanish music even thought i have no clue what the songs about...i loved the "Informant" latin remake song though....But its safe to say "Far Cry 3" is the pharoah of the series......

    I decided to come back to this because i have another gripe with this game. Yes, the alternate ending is the better ending, but I'm gonna get more political about it. The mental gymnastics to justify why America is no better than Yara pissed me off as an American. There's people that are willing to risk their lives to get here, and those lucky ones that do make it are the most hardworking goodhearted patriotic people you will find. Saying that America is no better than some fictional fascist shithole country is a slap in the face to all our immigrants, especially all those who fled the Castro regime in Cuba (especially the ones who have died along the journey), Venezuelans and all the other Latinos, the Haitians, Africans, Iranians, Ukrainians, the Afghan interpreters that are still trying to get here but are trapped by the Taliban. Stocking grocery store shelves in a free country is so much better than living in a shithole dictatorship.
    A better way to make the decision to stay harder would've been an appeal to Dani's ego. Clara could've told Dani "sure, you could puss out and run to America, but you'll be a nobody there. If you stay and fight, you'll become part of Yaran history and be remembered forever." Putting it that way, its harder to say no to. Or they could've kept the lore of the previous two games going and America isn't an option to flee to given the whole nuke thing.

    I, a fan of the series and buyer of ALL prior FarCry Games since 1, til FarCry 5 and all its SideGames in the series, was a sucker for these. But the RPG Elements, omg how do i explainz it simply....
    A bullet in the head should kill my target... not the small or heavy armor on certain weapontypes, at moonlight, when wear XY Armor from the shop....
    The gameplay of the game suffered from creative directions...
    and im not nearly blind enough, to see Ubisoft trying to use Big Names in the movie villain theme in newest games, to downplay the gameissues...
    Edit, after i watched more of the video:
    FarCry 6 is the worse version of JustCause Game Series ...

      Hey thanks for watching the video! I totally agree with you and just like yourself, I played and enjoyed every single entry in the series (I thought Primal was one of the best games in the series, although it sits in a different league compared to the mainline games). The (not so) recent trend of making everything RPG hurt this game in an unimaginable way. I like the idea of having multiple ammo types, but they should have implemented the mechanic better... I'd actually use them against trucks, tanks, and choppers and not soldiers if it was a more thoughtful mechanic! This game has so much lost potential that it's just baffling to think about it...

    By biggest gripe with the game was how lackluster and bland it was. When I heard it was set in fictional Cuba I was really excited. There’s not many rpg’s there that are set in the Caribbeans, let alone Cuba so I was super intrigued and interested in where the story could go and the content that would be added. Not to my surprise. I was let down. I won’t get into the story because there’s already dozens of videos rightfully criticizing the game but I would like to point out the mishandling of potential and straight up shitty add ons and “expansions” for the game. I would have loved to see dlc that focused around the traditions and hobbies of the Cuban people. Farming (feeding cattle, planting crops, cleaning a barn), more additions to fishing, total customization on the cars (build one from the ground up) boxing, having boxing rings set up around the map and facing other fighters on your way to becoming a champion (similar to Cyberpunks fighting quests), the potential was right there… They completely missed on the expansions too. Instead of the two we got we should’ve gotten a Soviet style add on where Anton is allowing them to set up nuclear sights all around the map and you have to sabotage and uncover a sinister motive for his plans. Another could’ve been a “what if” scenario where Dani joins the FND and you have to take part in raids and shootouts with the rebels and destroy there operations and networks from the ground up.

    Honestly i bought this game approx. a year ago cuz it was on sale for like $8 and i didnt watch any reviews or anything, played it for like 3 missions and honestly got so bored and uninstalled the game
    I know some people will think its an unfair judgement but being used to far cry 3 and 4 which imo was the prime era and what far cry is really about, this felt like a very generic shooter game with an annoyingly large map (especially at the beginning of the game)
    And for some reason stealth was pretty difficult, maybe this is a skill issue on my part, however the entire bullet sponge concept was so noticeable and put me off the game so much
    I know its impossible, but i wish they bring back that far cry 3-4 style, but obviously corporate greed and modern business practice in game dev industry wont allow for this, its sad because you can say this about any AAA+ studio game in the world, or any game owned by a big investment group even if it were a small studio originally

I wish the next Far Cry fixes these issues and give us a real taste of Far Cry...

I'm a sniper girl, so imagine my dismay when I headshot an enemy and he doesn't go down do to the stupid ammo weakness bs they put in the game. Also, there is no incentive to go in stealth because the enemy AI is so dumbed down that you can just go in like Rambo and kill everyone with no sense of danger. Then there are times when an enemy is alone, you headshot him but then you get spawnless enemies showing up that spawn out of thin air. WTF!!! and if that's not enough, Ubisoft throws a fucking animal attack in every 100 meters.

      i almost feel like ubisoft has intentionally abandoned the writing of good games. in 2012/2013 they would make AC IV black flag and far cry 3, which along with being very well made were also well written. recently i've been playing the newer AC games and i've noticed something i noticed with far cry -- in the last 10 years or so, the games have had a clear and steady decline in writing quality. it must be a consious decision by ubisoft, because far cry new dawn and 6 just feel like i'm watching someones first attempt at writing a narrative.
      imagine far cry 3 without a story campaign. you just spawn on an island with outposts and wild animals, but no incentive to do anything -- no reason or reward for anything at all. far cry 6's story is so weak, it feels esentially the same. the libertad, anton castillo, that rap group, the rich american, the media lady -- they mean nothing, they offer no reward, no incentive, no depth to the game.
      your breakdown of anton castillo and some other elements of the story (too many characters, empty characters, conflicting tone, etc) show me that you've noticed these things yourself. i really think that in terms of the game mechanics, ubisoft isn't necessarily moving in the wrong direction, they're trying out new things, trying to find out what works and what doesn't. if there were genuine characters or a story/atmosphere that worked, this current phase would at least have some sort of spark life to it.

While story concepts, storytelling, and characters are actually important, they wouldn't determine (at least for me) that whether a game is fun or not... after all it's the gameplay that makes the entire thing stay fun. Instead, if a game tries to tell you that: "Hey look, I know I have 50 different mechanics, it's best for you to avoid all of them and only use 2". That's when a game becomes hard to recommend. If FC6 didn't try to sabotage itself this hard, I'd have enjoyed it much more actually even with its map size and current state of story.

    Great review! I completely agree with your points about Far Cry 6. The lack of a memorable villain and the disjointed world really made it hard to stay engaged. Giancarlo Esposito's performance was fantastic, but it felt wasted. The RPG mechanics felt out of place and took away from the core Far Cry experience. One thing I also noticed was the repetitive mission structure; it felt like there was little variety in objectives, which made the game feel like a grind at times. I also missed the immersive, darker atmosphere of the earlier games. Here's hoping Ubisoft takes the feedback and brings the series back to its roots in the next installment. Keep up the awesome content!

    People needs to understand the realistic idea far cry 6 wants to reach . The villain isn't some of military members or an insane bandit .. in far cry 6 it's someone to be called a president or the king of Yara political character that cannot follow you or even care about your behaviour.. but you still need to reach their neck . Antón Castillo as a dictator represents a systemic threat rather than a singular charismatic foe. The idea is to experience the struggle against an oppressive regime not a deranged individual.
    Whether this approach resonates with players depends on their preference. Some might miss the up-close-and-personal encounters with a central antagonist, but others might appreciate the more grounded portrayal of a dictator and the fight against a system.
    That's the resistance idea far cry 6 wants you to experience. By what reason.. idk
