For myself, Runescape was a good supplement for learning English at a young age. I hope that this game will help more Italians to learn English and open new opportunities for them in life. Well done, Ubi.… Expand

    J'en ai tellement marre, far cry 5 m'avait déjà énormément déçu et la c'est encore pire.
    Je suis a 15h de jeu et j'ai vraiment l'impression que le jeu avait un potentiel de malade mais comme d'habitude avec Ubi leurs jeux sont de reskin des 3 anciens far cry.
    Ils savent faire des mondes beau et cohérent par contre pour le reste c'est le néant, Ubi c'est la chute libre, triste.

    Don't buy this on ubisoft connect.
    Cant play the game i payed for as ubisoft connect is a horrendous **** launcher. Eventhough the game is probably fun if you can play it, It is part of how i experience a game launch. Not being able to play or with a unreliable launcher adds to how you experience playing a game. Namely frustration and time wasted lmao.

    NEVER IN MY LIFE I thought I could say that a far cry game is a huge disaster cuz far cry 3 4 5 and primal we're such great games.

    People that say the game is trash cuz it's nothing new are wrong cuz it's the total contrary the game is trash cuz it's too different from other far cry and they took away many aspects that made previous far cry good. Same thing with people who say graphics    NEVER IN MY LIFE I thought I could say that a far cry game is a huge disaster cuz far cry 3 4 5 and primal we're such great games.

    People that say the game is trash cuz it's nothing new are wrong cuz it's the total contrary the game is trash cuz it's too different from other far cry and they took away many aspects that made previous far cry good. 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 gameplay is basic, with the hostile AI making stormtroopers look good on the "Action Mode" difficulty. Voice lines often end up missing, evidenced by the subtitles appearing but no dialogue can be heard. Textures often don't match with the geometry of objects, with bullets or enemies often clipping inside objects. The only redeeming feature is Guapo, the starting 'Amigo' companion who is a crocodile wearing a shirt.

    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

    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.
