    Pretty Soulless
    Far Cry 6 is a 20 hour ffirst person shooter where you play as either male or female version of Dani Rojas because ubisoft cant commit to a story.. and this is ultimately Far Cry 6’s downfall, at first I was in love with Far Cry 6, having a Far Cry 3 feel.. the beginning island was so detailed and memorable, Iwas having a blas doing the beginning missions, and then the game opened up about 3 hours or so in and wow did it feel like the soul left the body of this game.. here your goal is to take down el president Anton Castillo, and much like the previous far cry game, to get to him you have to take down targets around him to expose him for an attack.. however unlike Far Cry 5, nothing o nyour journey to take him down stood out…
    Far Cry 6 reminding me a lot of Just cause 3, in that while youre in this massive world, everything felt pretty cookie cutter generic.. and unlike just cause 3 the weapons weren’t crazy enough to keep fully entertained and there weren’t great story pieces pulling me through… just the same stuff over and over again, get to the spot on the map, deal with checkpoint along the way, take them over for future fast travl points, get back to the mission, kill all the people there.. thankfully youll unlock pets such as a crocodile or puppy to help along the way to attack and distract, but kill all the nemies, or find a key card so you can enter a building to throw a switch, or kill al the enemies and hack a computer which is just you guarding It while a percentage meter fills, over and over and over.. again no great story piece or story telling within the actual campaign except maybe couple of times.. really exposing the games bloat, I felt like I was doing side missions through most of the campaign.. I know box numbers are imorptant to people spending 60 to 70 dollars on a game, I get that.. but I would prefer and epic 12 hours over a mediocre repetitive 20.. I would even be fine having to level up to unlock those story missions and feel an urge to liberate the island and find weapons, if the grind didn’t feel obnoxious and get in the way of my play… maybe I have to capture a certain amount of enemy bases… if that means I get some story missions with some effort rather than feel like an algorithm developed the game.. Ill take it…
    Overall Far Cry 6 had its moments that made me laugh or moments of me actually having fun, but for the most part I felt lke I was just going through the motions of a soulless shooter, chasing credits rather than chasing the next epic event around the next corner..
    Far Cry 6 is a good shooter, it is brimming with things to do and weapons to find, you can even play with friends… but wow does this game do nothing memorable.

    -no more looting enemies, walk over them and get the items, same counts for animals (makes me lose a bit of connection with the character).

    Instead, walking somewhere now feels a bit boring, no plants to loot, no skillpoints to be found. The only thing you can find that is worth something or gives you a boost is gear. And most of the time the gear you find is worse than what you already got.
    The feeling of accomplishment and progression just isn't there. That is what I personally really want in a game like this.

    Sadly the cutscenes are at 30fps (in 2021?!)

    On the positive:

    -World design is great

    -Graphics are great.

    -A few little things got attention (like the maincharacter singing along with music, npc having funny dialogue together etc.)

    -I can imagine the setting is great for a lot of people (sort of Cuba)

What seems really lame too is they have them all swearing left and right to look cool or something. Doesn't work. AI is atrocious too. Doesn't matter if you're spotted pull out the LMG and shoot everything. Rinse repeat for 100 hours. Not sure If I'll finish let alone go for that platinum but so far it feels like I'm at a job making myself turn the game on and try to get immersed.

    The game is beautiful and the gameplay is solid. The storyline and the characters are so boring and have 0 depth. The writing is lazy and woke as is most of Ubisoft’s games. It’s a cookie cutter game that Ubisoft churns out for its franchises. It would be nice to see some innovations from Ubisoft. Also the story for micro transactions is a bad joke.

    If you have played Far Cry 3, 4, or 5, then you know what to expect from FC6. For me this is an insulting disappointment of recycled content, themes and storylines.

For me this is an insulting disappointment of recycled content, themes and storylines.

    The graphics of FC6 would be impressive on a PS4, but on a PS5 they just look bland and rushed. When you look off into the oceanic sunset it is a very pleasant sight, but character models and landscapes remain stiff and look recycled from the PS4 era. I give them kudos for having accessibility options, but this isn't really a game I recommend accessing.

    The gameplay of FC6 is practically unchanged from previous iterations. This is what bewildered me most and caused me to give up after a few hours - it's the same formula we've seen not just in 3/4/5 but also in New Dawn and Primal. You are washed up on an island and must side with the underdogs to overthrow a tyrant by recruiting allies and taking over his empire area by area until he's weakened enough to kill. We've seen this with Pagan, Seed and now the antagonist appears to be Gus from Breaking Bad. Very tiresome.

    You face the same old missions - recruit an ally by doing x for him. Take over bases and reclaim enemy outposts. There is a 'new' gameplay element as you can now build up your bases. I say 'new' because we've seen this already in Primal and games like Fallout 4 from 2015 have shown us these mundane mechanics long ago.

    The only thing FC6 seems to evolve into the next-gen are microtransactions and live services. It's not long before you are presented with pay-to-win options. I was given 300 credits and bought a unique shotgun that was actually quite powerful, but then again drug dealers are notorious for hooking victims by giving them a free sample, so shame on Ubisoft for this bullcrap addictive and exploitative model.

    The gameplay itself feels a bit rough. Controls are not fluid and responsive. It seems FC6 can't decide what it wants to be, as you are given the option of stealth or all-guns-blazing, but really each option feels imperfect, like FC6 is being a jack-of-all-trades. I've always been frustrated by driving in FC due to being stuck in first-person POV. Enemies are constantly spawning around you and even on beginner difficulties it becomes a nuisance rather than a challenge.

    Finally we come to the story. Like I said above, this absolute cookie-cutter factory-recycled Ubisoft trash. The good news it's very easy to understand as it's the same story format as previous FC games; big bad guy owns most of the and and you have to take it back by force, bit by bit. By this point Far Cry will soon be prescribed for insomnia. They got Gus from Breaking Bad as the bad guy but I feel sorry for him as the actor was probably led to believe he'd be in a decent game.

    So, overall Far Cry 6 is the same recycled, microtransaction-riddled rubbish we have seen multiple times before. Very little imagination or creativity has been allowed to flow into the game and I feel bad for the developers who probably have great ideas quashed by Ubisoft each time a new FC game is being developed. Fortunately I bought this for £50 and traded it back into CeX today for £40 and I won't be alone.    … Expand

    60% of this game consists of Trans/gay/Lesbian politics, pretty much shoehorned into it to the point you wouldn't even think you were playing Far Cry . Something Ubisoft kept very quiet because they knew it would effect sales. Im all for the LGBTQ community but this was a joke.

    Full of Black Lives Matter and anti white propaganda for some reason

    Positives;
    If you play with a friend it can be kinda fun

Same thing with people who say graphics are trash this is pure trolling here. Fc5 almost look like **** graphically compared to this one. Anyway that's a nonsense that come often with some haters when they dislike a game they close their
    eyes to the good aspects of the game which isn't my case.

    I want to apologize first for my bad english. English isn't my primary languages so I'll try to do my best.

    Here's the good :

    I play the game on my ps5 on a 1080p tv and the graphics are so insane. Textures and particules of rocks, tree's, water, walls, ground, grass, cars are just totally insane and a huge step forward the 5 which had already great graphics. Lightning effects are also incredible the sun effects is just insane. All the details in the environments are much more important and numerous than the 5 that mean there's way more tree's, rocks, shrubs and the ground is more detailed with so much more sands, little rocks or garbages and all the details of what's in the nature. Underneath the water it's much more filled, much more different fish and corals by example. It's simple the environment and graphics makes you forget it's a game and makes you believe you're in a real nature. No far cry or open world ever had graphics and details like that. Not even rdr2 or ghost of Tsushima not even close. Make side by side comparison and look the number of details very close you'll see by yourself. One bad thing's about the visuals is the fire every fire effects like when you shoot or explosion are atrocious it's VERY cartoony and doesn't fit at all with all the other extremely impressive visuals of the game.

    Sounds effects are also very impressive. In fc5 sounds of weapons when shooting we're bad, now they improved that aspect a lot. You also finally hear correctly bullet impact on ennemies which makes the shooting much more fun and satisfying. There's also a little more blood when killing ennemies. The haptic feedback on PS5 controller is very well used in that game and makes even better the shooting. When driving a car also the haptic feels VERY satisfying. The only bad aspect for the sounds are explosion.

    Now the bad :

    The worst flaw of that game is the possibility of changing weapons everywhere. In previous far cry and even ghost recon breakpoint you needed to be in a shop or special place to change weapons. Now you no longer need to be in a shop or base you can carry 50 weapons on you if you want. Admit it please it's suck si deeply badly and makes the game less realistic and more like the division which is not suppose to be like that in a far cry game who is more focused on realism than a game like the division. The other problem with that is the fact that it is more easier. It makes the game so easy. I previous far cry you had to deal with the weapon you had on you when facing danger that was challenging now if I got a problem because ennemies are too powerful by example well I just need to take another type of weapon and continue to fight instead of forcing me to play well, be cautious and deal with my only 4 weapons, now I can play like **** and it's ok I just need to get another weapon in my loadout if I'm in serious problem. The goal of carrying only 4 weapons on me is to make the game more realism adventurous and challenging. Now that thing is gone.

    The other major flaw of the game is that you can now have access to bullet VERY easily. You just need to fast travel at any place who got a resolver workbench and allllllllll your weapons will get full ammo without any cost. You can also call a car anytime like in Mafia 3 and the car will be there in 3 seconds and you can take ammo there too. So no need to work hard to get ammo no need to kills animals sells their fur to get money and buying ammo no need to search for ammo no need to kills ennemies to get ammo cuz you have access too easily now. It was a major thing in previous far cry you needed the search in wilderness in that hostile nature to get ammo or thing's to sell to get money's then getting ammo. It's part of what makes far cry a far cry, this little survival aspect of having no more ammo and having no choice but venture yourself into that hostile nature to search for everything that could give you ammo. Weapons were also more expensive.

    Thing is, I like Ubisoft they make so great games. I'm a huge fan and it hurts me cuz the only thing I wanted is to love this game and when I saw the stunning graphics lightning and sounds effects, shooting mechanics I wanted even more to love the game so the deception hurts me even more.    … Expand

The protagonist does not have any depth, the villain is as usual as in previous Far Cry games. Ubisoft should've already discontinued this game series, either put some things unfamiliar and try new things or put an end to it. It's so repetitive.… Expand

    The world looks amazing, and perhaps more so than any other Far Cry to date. Yet if graphics alone were all a game would need Anthem would have been a smashing success.

After playing for hours I began to see they watered down the sense of progression with your character. You do craft things, but it is via recipes you already have in some big drop down list. I was expecting a very inventive, improvised, and clever use of weapon crafting with what was improvised but yet you magically make weapons out of depleted uranium that offer up a different twist in how you can fight enemies. Yet, it feels tacked onto the game since you could technically ignore the Resolver (various versions of hand weapons that do unique things like spray enemies with chemicals or shoot nails), and the Supremo (a backpack that fire rocket, emits an EMP, and more) systems added and still play like you did the other Far Cry games.

    The story while interesting as well seems to divide the game into three sections of the map each with their own potential allies you need to work with to eventually earn their allegiance to join your cause. While the characters are fun and their stories interesting it feels disjointed and doesn't seem to come together well enough. For me currently it feels more like a chore to do these three areas than an enjoyable experience that could have perhaps been better interwoven into the overall story better.

    In the end if you want more raiding of forts via whatever machinations you wish to employ, fishing, hunting, and seeking out hidden treasures via simple environment puzzles you'll like the game. But if you were expecting something revolutionary... well this isn't it oddly enough.    … Expand

    I loved the first Far Cry for all its cringe gaming moments. I sort of enjoyed Far Cry 2 and more so appreciated what they were trying to accomplish. Far Cry 3 and 4 were greatness. Far Cry 5 I didn't expect to love but did.

    After the last entry I just knew Far Cry 6 was going to be as entertaining as 5 but in a tropical climate. Boy was I wrong. This game is so boring and everything is washed out. How is a tropical location washed out and boring? I cannot really put my trigger on it but it is. I have tried to like FC6 so many times and just cannot push myself to play it. With so much to do and explore why does this game put me in a coma?    … Expand

    Ubisoft's signature franchises continue to deliver on what the fans have come to expect and Far Cry 6 is no exception. A sprawling sandbox with tons to do and perfect escapism for a few hours… a few tens of hours. Fans of the series or Ubisoft's style, in general, will want to pick this one up, those who haven't ever clicked with them will find nothing new here to change their mind, with only a few changes that just do not push the boat out or move away from the formulaic. Most exciting though, is the upcoming DLC: a season pass that promises to give players a whole different experience. Stepping into the shoes of the villains of the previous games, starting with Vaas. Stay with us here at Cubed3, where we'll be covering it soon.

    The new episode of the Far Cry series really tries a lot to find new ways how to enjoy the game, and at the same time it relies on the unattainable depth that the charismatic Giancarlo Esposito was supposed to give to the game. Instead, players again receive a disparate mishmash that is increasingly moving away from both the original Far Cry idea and the Just Cause sandbox.

    If I’m being honest, my frustrations with the marketing’s focus on the worst caricatures of Latinx people made me brace myself for a racist triple-A experience full of gross clichés and awkward attempts to be apolitical. Instead, I was surprised to find that more thought than I expected was put into its depiction of Latinx people. Although it isn’t perfect — those cringeworthy lines! The grind of finding gear! — it’s better than what I initially expected, and that counts for something.
