    Despite the very style of the game and the atmosphere, this part is very weak in this franchise. A bad plot, dull gameplay that does not add anything new, the graphics are disgusting in places, and additions to this game are just needed for a tick

    Do not buy this game!!! Buy Far Cry 5 or 3 instead. This game is literally a carbon copy of Far Cry 5, made worse because of no perks, no crafting, and only suits giving you power. Also, do not buy the "deluxe edition" it doesn't come with the Vaas, Joseph, or Pagan dlc it just gives you useless suits and reskins of guns you already have.

    Desastroso

    Ubisoft la verdad se merece un premio con este juego, ha logrado lo imposible, hacer que un Far Cry sea aburrido y tedioso. Los gráficos son lo único que escapa en el juego, de ahí que le ponga un 1.

    Ubisoft la verdad se merece un premio con este juego, ha logrado lo imposible, hacer que un Far Cry sea aburrido y tedioso.

    Los gráficos son lo único que escapa en el juego, de ahí que le ponga un 1.

    El resto es una mierda: - Historia: Un 0, desastrosa, muchísimos personajes secundarios que no aportan nada a la historia, son tantos que no conectan contigo, ninguno es memorable o realmente importante. Ademas van de graciosillos y no tienen puta gracia, son una mezcla de niñatos, progres, guais. Encima te intentan contar una historia supuestamente seria que no cuaja porque en la siguiente cinematica hay algun personaje aliado haciendo chistes chorras. Jamás había odiado tanto a mis aliados y jamás había deseado que se murieran y me dejaran en paz. Además la historia es que es mala... osea... hay un dictador fascista que anteriormente derrocó a un dictador comunista y ahora la historia trata de que hay que derrocar al fascista para poner en su lugar a un puñado de niñatos odiosos progres guais graciosillos. Además Ubisoft, como siempre va de progre, pues hace un juego donde ha de triunfar el asqueroso Comunismo, honestamente me quedo con el dictador fascista. - Los enemigos tienen barra de vida, han convertido a Far Cry en un The Division. Se han cargado lo bueno de un Far Cry, ponerte en lo alto de un risco encima de un campamento con un rifle de francotirador con silenciador y empezar a matar enemigos con disparos en la cabeza para rematar al resto con bajas en sigilo cuerpo a cuerpo y así conquistar el puesto sin ser detectado y sin que salte la alarma. Eso ya no existe porque ahora los enemigos son esponjas de balas, no podrás matar a nadie de un disparo a la cabeza porque ahora tienen barra de vida. Además para colmo no hay miras de francotirador decentes, casi no tienen alcance y la que mas alcance tiene es una casera le pintaron una cruz roja en medio y que no te deja apuntar bien. - Ya no hay habilidades, ahora tienes que buscar piezas de armaduras y eso es lo que hace que tu personaje evolucione. Otro clon de The Division. - La caza ya no sirve para nada. Antes se cazaba para mejorar el equipo, tener mas capacidad de munición o más capacidad para guardar dinero. Ahora solo se caza para vender pieles. Y el dinero te sobra. Osea que cazar no sirve de nada. - Las armas y las mochilas de cohetes son una mierda, joder con todas las armas guapas que hay en este mundo y hay que usar una pistola que lanza CD o un rifle hecho de tuberias de desagües de mierda - El villano está totalmente desaprovechado, casi no interactuas con el, es como un ente lejano que sientes que pertenece a otro juego. En resumen, el peor Far Cry con diferencia, una auténtica mierda asquerosa y repulsiva que ojala nunca hubiera existido.    … Expand

    Senza il doppiaggio italiano questo titolo ha perso tantissimo. I dialoghi in lingua madre sono pessimi sembra che leggano il foglio. Adoravo Farcry 4 e 5 e non vedevo l'ora di giocare anche questo capitolo ma non si può ascoltare. Eppure in lingua mi son giocato tutto Red Dead Redemption 2 ed è tutta un'altra cosa.

Giancarlo gives a good villain performance as too many he is the main selling point of the game, he is on the cover, he's in a bunch of ads promoting it, and yet he is only in the game for less than an hour. In a game that has a 22-hour campaign, for your main selling point to be in it for almost a fraction of that time is inexcusable. The game also throws in so many characters that get minimal time to show their personalities which is Ubisoft's half-assed attempt to make people care about characters so they can kill them off for shock value. If you are looking for an FPS with more variety and a better story that came out this year, go play Halo Infinite, it is very flawed but it does a much better job at creating a fun game with a story on par with this game.… Expand

    Why do we have powerful new consoles if the devs are lazy and don't implement the same features as in the PC Version? A fov slider and maybe a head bobbing option should be standard for any new game coming out on the new consoles. I guess Ubisoft does the bare minimum. This is my score for you because I cannot play the game on my console with that FOV.

    After burning out hard on Assassin's Creed Valhalla to the point where I never finished it due to the overwhelming tedium, I was hesitant about Far Cry 6. I waited for early Black Friday sales to even venture into this game and, honestly, the only reason I had any interest was due to Giancarlo Esposito. I should have stuck to my gut and avoided the game entirely.

    My issues with the game    After burning out hard on Assassin's Creed Valhalla to the point where I never finished it due to the overwhelming tedium, I was hesitant about Far Cry 6. I waited for early Black Friday sales to even venture into this game and, honestly, the only reason I had any interest was due to Giancarlo Esposito. I should have stuck to my gut and avoided the game entirely.

    My issues with the game can be broken down into four categories:

    1) It's the same, tired, Ubisoft open world formula they haven't changed in decades that is easily 80-90% fluff content and only 10% main story. Collect-a-thons litter the map and an endless stream of pointless side quests flood your quest log. Strongholds to raid, chests to find, checkpoints to take over, same crap, different day. The main story line is the same as every other modern AAA Ubisoft open world as well: Go to location, find a reluctant group of possible allies, defeat area lieutenants until you unlock the final area captain, defeat the captain, go to a new area and repeat. Yawn. It's the same snoozefest that made me burn out of Valhalla and, surprise, I'm already bored to tears with FC6. The only thing Ubisoft has offered in their modern games is are massive maps but bigger is not always better.

    2) Braindead AI and an extremely aggressive respawning system. Enemy an ally AI in this game are so daft it hurts my brain. You might be trying to sneak into an area but some Libertad ally decides to run ahead like Leeroy Jenkins, blowing your cover. Enemies are so stupid you can snipe one from a safe distance and it will cause all the remaining enemies in the area to *run to the general location of the guy you just sniped*, and then mill about in a predictable path, making it easy to just shoot them all without detection. But then the respawn issue rears its ugly head. Remember the issue with police in Cyberpunk just randomly appearing? Respawns in this game are almost that bad. Attempting to liberate prisoners from the Castillo Zoo, I sniped guards and watched as new guards would appear 2-3 meters away from the one I *just* killed. Clear out a guardpost, walk about 20 meters away, turn around, and the guardpost is fully respawned again. The spawn system is ridiculous and destroys any fun of clearing out a spot and then leisurely searching it for items or collectables. Making this issue worse is the fact that, to compensate for terrible AI, all enemies have god aim in close quarters. In an open fire fight, they NEVER miss even as they run around like beheaded chickens. It's not fun to have enemies randomly respawn in behind you and begin lighting you up before you can even react to figure out where the shots are coming from.

    3) Changing the skill perks to gear perks, and the constant need to change ammo types for enemy vulnerabilities. These two changes ruin the flow of the game as it forces you to continually go into the menus to change gear or find workbenches to change ammo types. You easily end up spending as much, if not more, time in the menus than you do exploring or playing. Need fire proof gear for a certain area, into the menus to switch your clothes. Need armor piercing rounds for a guardhouse or checkpoint? Find a workbench, and sit in the menus. This also causes a problem of having a ridiculous amount of workbenches out in the world. I've found random workbenches out in the middle of the jungle and swamp, just sitting there out of place because players almost constantly need to have access to one. Why we can't just craft ammo and change on the fly is beyond me. These changes make the game feel even MORE tedious.

    4) A complete lack of Giancarlo Esposito. Despite all the marketing material and his face plastered on the game case, Esposito's "Anton Castillo" character appears extremely rarely and usually only in very limited cutscenes. Compare this to nearly every other mainline Far Cry game where the main villain often repeatedly shows up to antagonize the player. Castillo feels remarkably absent. In many ways, the game fails to build him as the overbearing fascist leader it portrays him to be and, at times, almost makes him a sympathetic character. There's more effort put into making his sub-bosses seem more villainous. The main star of the game is MIA for the vast majority of the game.

    I can already tell this is going to end up just like Valhalla where I put it down and just never go back to it until I decide to get rid of it entirely. This formula is played out and the changes they made to try to refresh it (changing skill trees to gear perks) only made the game less enjoyable. Far Cry 3 still stands as the best Far Cry game to ever come from Ubisoft. Everything after has been a poor copy paste. Albeit with fantastic graphics and eye catching setpieces. But staring out at the pretty vistas of Yara, or Hope County, or Kyrat can only carry a game so far.

    I cannot recommend this game, not even as open world 'junk food'.    … Expand

Far Cry 6 follows the same formula as 5, with 3 areas that have 3 unexciting and otherwise insignificant bosses followed by a fourth ultimate boss. Giancarlo Esposito’s performance as Anton Castillo was fantastic but the maniacal dictator appears so little that he may as well not be in the game. The game play is a simple rehash of other games, with tanks. The weapons are silly and regularly left me asking “Why?”. The supremos or backpack weapons, are one of the dumbest ideas ever brought to video games. Not only are they highly unrealistic, but are more of a hassle than they are useful. The absence of a traditional skill tree is a huge miss for Ubisoft, skills are now attached to your equipment meaning that different skills are locked behind weapons or clothing that you may not even use otherwise. After all of this, after putting up with the lack of any real story, and the abundance of cliché characters you may be expecting a surprise ending like far cry 5’s nuclear winter. You would be wrong. In the end, Far Cry 6 isn’t a disaster, but the series has turned into Ubisoft’s Madden.… Expand

    The latest entry in the Far Cry series brought many little joys, great performance by Giancarlo Esposito and beautiful tropical environments. Alas, it is annoying and disappointing in too many aspects. The story should have been approached more seriously, Yara is not a believable world and some of its areas are empty, while the gameplay suffers from copy-pasted assets and bugs that shouldn’t pollute a game from such an experienced developer. Overall, Far Cry 6 is a letdown. [12/2021, p.26]

    This feels like a far more honest take on what Far Cry is to most people: a joyful, chaotic toybox. There’s room for improvement – the questionable Latin American representation, for a start – but there’s no doubt this is something of an awakening for the series, exploring ideas I’m excited to see refined in iterations to come. In particular, doing away with the cumbersome pretence of political salvation leaves you free to pick and choose your own adventure, whether that’s toppling Castillo or just being crowned Gran Primo champion. Like Yara, Far Cry 6 is brimming with potential – you just have to step up and shape it.
