This is one of the games ever made.
Indeed it is. It is a game.
Definitely the game ever made
It’s quite the game.
The game was made.

Vaas is right all along.
Spot on man , good pick up
Ironic isn’t it.
Well played for noticing that tho.
He was a prophet, telling us of the journey we were destined to be on with this franchise
Dont cry
@@adamjensen_2027 Far Cry.
It's insane how much work goes into making a product we already have
Correction: a product we had in 2012...
Well I mean people complaint about sports games being copy pasted and then buy COD every year
@@NotThatJonesShow gamers arent the most intelligent people. Cut us some slack
Yep, Ubisoft has an army creating Interesting high quality stuff, just to make it somehow feel bland
@@NotThatJonesShow I mean people buy new COD games bc multiplayer stops getting updated after 3-5 years. Besides a different story and presentation palette swap there's no reason to chose one Far Cry over the others
Imagine dumping a whole 7.62 "soft round" mag on an enemy and they survive because they have a metal helmet
Imagine playing a video game and expecting real life results... This "ain't yo hood yo". It's just a game. ;)
@@kolz4ever1980 he is referring to the shit ammo mechanics where you can use armor piercing rounds to one shot an enemy with a helmet, but if you use them on an enemy without a helmet it takes two shots. And the opposite with the soft target rounds. Its a shit game mechanic.
@@thecomedian5933 eh then just shoot them more or use the right ammo. Crying about it is just over thinking a video game.
@@thecomedian5933 That’s not true at all armour piercing rounds regardless of the enemy will always one shot kill them unless you get unlucky. Blast ammo also destroys helmets after a couple of shoots but in my 15 hours of playing I’ve never had trouble using armour piercing rounds on non armoured enemies.
@@kolz4ever1980 bitching and complaining about even small things is what usually leads to fixes, patches, updates, nerfs, buffs etc.
I get what you're trying to say but if your mentality is "it's something small and dumb, who gives af" then why do you care about others giving af? Lol
Far Cry is the quintessential “wait for a Steam sale” game series.
Yeah far cry games are a solid 15-30 dollar buy tbh
I always wait for the 7,49€ sale that happens after two or so years :)
I hope it will come to steam
also you could always just kinda pirate it
@@dr.chungusphd108 i got far cry 5 for 10 bucks in instant gaming and primal for 5😐
I feel dumb only now realizing that GMan makes all the characters in his thumbnails smile really hard. I don't play the games he reviews so i always thought that was the official box art
Your comment made my day
Would have been better if it was
Wow, such lack of judgment
How could you be so dumb? Just keeedeeeeeng...
l fucking mao
Imagine a Far Cry game in Australia. I mean Australia practically already is Real Life Far Cry so it’s perfect
Its called tasmania
Give Mad Max a shot
@@axelastori484 I said all of Australia not just Western Sidney
Agreed dude, a Far Cry game set in Australia would be very interesting
With Tassy Tigers
The game just feels like another Far Cry game, trying nothing really new and recycling the old stuff while also taking out mechanics and progression that felt rewarding.
In the same fashion of COD
Is bullet penetration through thin still not a thing?
Loved it in FC2 and FC3 but then they got rid of it, and I’ve been wondering why ever since
@Freesmart We don't. I probably will never buy a new far cry ever again. We just want our franchise back. Instead of having this wannabe of just cause, and other games. We want it to have the old far cry identity, instead of this new one. Far cry was more then just some villian on an island somewhere. Now the only reason you know a far cry game is a far cry game is because you have the exact same stuff as previous entries. So what is the problem then? The way they bring it all together changes the game drastically. It is like they don't understand what made far cry far cry to begin with. What's worse it seems they don't care. I hope you could at least understand why we want something we love back. Especially when it can still go places. I played 5, and it isn't far cry. Why even have it. It feels like it was meant as a multi-player game to begin with, and not single player. It doesn't even do that well, and ends up being mediocre all around. Why bother making it like that? Instead they should have just made it an offshoot of the franchise, so that they could just more heavily focus on the crazy shit.
@Freesmart are you butthurt uh? poor thing
Gabriel Almeida Alvez You sound butthurt
It is actually impressive how much I do not give a crap about far cry anymore.
That's me with new games, new shows, new movies.... just sad lol
I have Far Cry 2, 3, 4, 5 and Primal installed on my PC right now. But this SJW cringe fest will not take up any space on my two SSD's. Forgot Blood Dragon, I have it installed.
@@wulfone5961 gamer moment
@@wulfone5961 Seriously? You SJWs are always the bloody same: blaming politics on a video game.
@@wulfone5961 "sJwS!!!" dude go out side and touch some grass
Its really upsetting to hear that the UI has taken a turn for the worst. I loved farcry 5's use of a compass instead of a minimap. A lot of that games UI was really really clean
The compass sucked wym
Oh my god the UI please cry more
@drunkenn1nja - This game is oversimplified, generic, fps trash. Glad I cancelled my pre-order. New Dawn was pretty bad, too. Why you acting like this shit game is actually any good? The backpack crap is beyond stupid + no permanent character upgrades! I'd have been pissed if I'd have bought this entry. Graphics aren't everything, Jr.
Far Cry 2 was the best Far Cry game because everything felt organic. The map was an actual map. Everything we get now is dumbed down for dumbasses.
I HATE health bars.. Hope we can turn em off
Still can't believe they took out the skill system. Was expecting them to expand on it greatly. Not flat out remove it and replace it with the gear crap
Fr fr certain gear to do knife or handgun takedown.
I think they should've had it about the size of 5, not too much but something to keep track of to unlock.
@@rosdos100 I just started playing Far Cry 5 for the first time not too long ago after replaying 3 and 4 and the only thing I don't like is how they removed the really cool looking knife takedowns, the ability to move a corpse after the knife takedown by moving back and finding an area where enemies won't find the person you killed, and the mute protagonist compared to the last two games.
@@SerpentSupremacy I agree the knife takedowns were cool but i think they made it a point the protagonist is LE so that would be wild but considering the situation shouldn't be. I don't think hiding bodies was ever a real game changer since i never did it in the other games. I just wished they would've switched the Deputy and the Marshal's titles because it would've made sense for you to be an outsider in that place.
it's a new game. they won't eternally keep the same stuff
Far Cry 2 and 3 will always be the absolute best for me. 2 is unique, nails the aesthetic of a civil war and 3 created the perfect blend for the formula of story telling and action, each release after that just feels like a 3 remake and the creativity just sort of runs dry
Far Cry 3 also had a powerful message, it explores what happens to a human being stripped down to its basic animal instincts, much like Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket
Far Cry 2 perfectly portrayed the cynical use of ideologies for your own gain, the illusion of choice (US two-party system, one of the characters even quoted US politician directly). The only good characters are the journalist (symbol of following the truth at all costs and staying in touch with reality), the underground (humanitarianism) and Jackal who frequently quoted Friedrich Nietzsche (symbol of how moral nihilism is more intellectually honest - truthful - than ideological hypocrisy). You feel alienated throughout the whole game, and The Truth is your only friend in the end. You'd like to think that staying loyal to an ideology is a good thing, but that's a far cry from reality. You know that the writing is good when you can use the title itself when interpreting the story.
Far Cry 1 was the best for me. Very good for it's time.
@@blueorange9067 Sadly it seems to always get overlooked
@@Mitchisable true, I still play it even today. Multiplayer is alive as well. Graphics still looks great maxed out. Not gonna' lie
Ubisoft needs to stop letting their algorithm create games and get their humans doing it again
Their algorithm is a group of money men. Same group is responsible for all the crappy reboot movies and sequels of the last eight years. Might even be the same firm, like Black Rock, Silver Lake, KKR, etc.
Its just what sum humans do when they have alot of money coming in without having to spend too much they no longer are desperate for money an therefore never listen to fans or make an original game ever again
@@ronan8834 Game developers follow money. Fans demand rehashes. Developers vomit out rehashes.
There can be true sequels (those that fundamentally improve the first game), but most AAA titles are variations on what already works, as game development is expensive so they can't take too big risks. Otherwise bankrupcies can happen.
The problem with that is Ubisoft current 'humans' are pink-haired feminists.
@@stribs311 ughh, it's the opposite there Misogynistic
New Tropico game looks crazy.
You meant a new Just Cause game, right?
@@giorgialadashvili4771 it's more just cause as you destroy stuff.
@@aryabratsahoo7474 But it still got some tropico vibes.
Speaking of which what happened to tropico? Will there be tropico 7?
Easy mistake bro, this is Port Royale
if they wanted to have it be a personal story, they shouldve had us play as a grown up diego fighting for the revolution and have all the anton scenes be flashbacks
You fixed the game
jesus christ NO , no more flashbacks please , its overdone
That actually sounds kinda cool
Big agree. I prefer Diego to literally any other character in this game. El Tigre and Anton himself being the only exceptions. He's a great character with the best story and a huge missed opportunity. I bet ubisoft will save him for game 2 far cries from now.
Hey dude, i like your art
4:06 "You can't have plot elements dealing with torture, kidnapping, and genocide along with scenes with people wearing wacky things on their head and make bizarre non-sequitur jokes all the time."
Metal Gear Franchise: "Am I a Joke to You?"
MGS did it WELL, this does not.
..metal gear?
Yeah but metal gear actually had... Y'know... Passion behind it.
@@michaelpowers671 exactly.
Th difference is they knew when it was appropriate most of the time. for instance ground zeros had you sneak into a CIA black site against US marines and you get to see what they do (for instance they bolted Chico feet so he couldn’t run and there’s a tape where you can hear Paz getting tortured) but they let the jokey content on the extras because well it would ruin the whole atmosphere that way set up
Two things that always go well together: GManLives and FPS games
Didn't expect to see you in the comments LNG
Yes sir! Also love your videos
You mean GGGManLives.
Hey LNG!
I concur, no one expects LNG
That's the thing about Ubi sandbox games: their refusal to commit to either stealth or action seriously hurts their game design. Their broad play to please everyone always ends up pleasing no one.
You can do stealth and action at the same time? You don't have to choose only one.
Yeah, to dedicate a sandbox game to the concept of one or the other would hurt the game more. It's their lack of expansion and decisiveness on what they'd like to convey through their stories.
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 Except you should? I can’t imagine Doom Eternal having a stealth mode.
@@kingsleycy3450 well doom is just a bad game to work with stealth. How about Sekiro, Horizon Zero Dawn and Ghost of Tsushima. You dont have to focus on just 1.
Why ain’t no complaining about no progression systems
"weird and random deaths" You literally drove over a land mine you can even hear the beeping hahaha 22:43
That's more or less a perception problem
was bout to say you can even see it on the ground
He highlights view of the mine in the last few seconds before the backers credits.
Bloopers just add a touch of class to the video dude, like the entry of the super shotty from Doom 2. Keep it up 👌
the reason there is no skill system and those things are tied to armor pieces ( which are no permanent upgrades ) is that it is ubisoft. permanent upgrades can only be sold once in the microtransaction shop.... clothes on the other hand...
My thoughts exactly.
Very dissapointing to see skill points taken out. Grinding for skill points is a huge part of what made FC5 so good.
I think we can all see the series' in-game progression getting more and more convoluted to allow for microtransactions.
Oh it all makes sense now. There's no possible other reason for such a dumb change.
It's not long before game companies start to make skip level tokens.
Bingo. It's the main reason these games are joining the "RPG/Looter" crowd. Just so they can sell you more shit. It's borderline evil and is making me real fucking cynical.
@@MisterButterfingers yes
I start off loving these games,, but soon get bored.
I think if they cut out a lot of the fluff, made it a bit bit more dark and gritty, they would be much better
After farcry 3 its all the same game with different maps and better graphics ...even the stories are dull
Starting to feel like they should make a level based game just make each level pretty expansive and interactive no more open world
And maybe if they stopped doing the stupid drug trip mission in every damn game.
Dark and gritty .. like ur mum
Yeah, it's a clown show... for kids
Btw the electric rifle is used to disable tanks and all vehicles in one hit, I think it also lets you hijack them
I swear GMAN videos are some of the only content that can still hold my information-overload -addled brain's attention for the entire length.
I like the aesthetic, but I really hate how every game needs enemy healthbars and levels now. If it's not an MMORPG or MMOFPS, the game should just let you shoot guns at enemies without having to worry about HP.
This is what made Far Cry 2 feel so gritty and heavy. Gunplay felt realistic, enemies reacted to you shooting them, bullets felt like bullets and less like polite suggestions for the enemies to lower their health a bit, enemies would drag comrades into cover if they got shot and got incapacitated.
Idunno, it just felt a lot more real.
Edit: My dummy dumb dumb brain meant Far Cry 2, not Far Cry 3.
I have no problem if it's like these latest Far Cry games, shoot some bullets and done! If it becomes Destiny or Anthem I don't like it as much...
Far cry 2 was much more gritty and then far cry 3.
Thats why i allways played the map editor with one shot kills me and one shot the enemy made it so much better
Far Cry 4 is 3 but with more difficult enemies in later areas.
The health bars are optional you can just turn them off and you can kill the guys like you normally do on other far cry its not like new dawn you can still stealth kill and headshot if you want
Nothing can ever top Far Cry 3 for me. Watching Jason's social dysfunction was so much more interesting than anything else Ubisoft has done since.
The story was meh. Far cry 2 felt more in tune with real world problem
That and vaas is the best villain that made the rest of the latest villains
@@destroyerarmor2846 "show don't Tell" Far Cry 2 suffers this problem. Far Cry 3 doesn't. It's like Comparing Halo to Destiny, Destiny have deeper mechanics but Halo pinned down the "Show don't Tell" aspect of story telling perfectly like Far Cry 3 does. Lectures... are not... story telling. But a crazy dude who murdered my brother in front of my eyes? that's story telling, because it *Shows* me things.
@@whatayaDO543 The protagonist were douchebag rich kids in far cry 3. Didn't care much. I miss the gun jamming mechanics too and medicine taking, that must have been too much for casual gamers who just want to point, click shoot
@@destroyerarmor2846 cool story bro, but I don't care, Call of duty suffers an opposite problem with it's SBMM, catering only to hardcore nuts leaving casuals behind, everyone have their problems, I'm just telling you what makes writing... Interesting. Would you rather have a Teacher LECTURE you a story? or would you (like most NORMAL people) rather watch an awesome movie that doesn't bore you to death? We pick movie every time. It's Basic psychology. Far Cry 2's lectures are just not interesting. People like to be *shown* things.
Spot on about the weapons. As soon as i got on the main island i went to the arsenal menu and found a "unique" m4 gun that was on the docks in the main city. I used that entire gun through the rest of my play through since it was a silenced gun with armor piercing ammo and it was a 1 shot kill to any enemy for the rest of the game.
That's kinda the problem because
It makes you not wanna use the other guns because the best gun can beat them all so what's the point ? I found a balance in older games where the weaker guns have more ammo so it's good for killing some enemies and the stronger weapons have almost no ammo and you have to refill in other places like safe houses but incredibly strong for so many uses
Remember in far cry 2 when you get betrayed by whatever faction you’re working for at the time, and you fall off a truck filled with corpses on its way to a mass grave?
Why can’t we just have serious, gritty, and gripping stories in far cry games anymore?
So, FC5 wasn't gritty enough for you?.. maybe you just get used to it...
@@Mud_AleX
Far cry5 is a friendship slaugther dream until the endings.
Ehh don't know how I feel about a far cry game that uses rng loots to make the player stronger rather than skills. I think adding skills adds more replayability and creativity in each playthrough.
They would need to seriously bump up the difficulty for that to happen. Currently the enemies don't have much recourse once the player finds a grenade launcher.
Yeah there is no need to change that system.
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 uhh, yea it does need to be changed, its generic now.
@@nmartell1007 Skill system was great and doesn't need changing. Kill enemies and earn xp.
At least it’s a step up from whatever New Dawn was. It’s not bad, it’s not good, but at the end of the day, if it’s fun, it’s fun.
Ubisoft "humor" never worked for me. Not in Far Cry New Dawn, not in AC Odyssey, not in Watch Dogs 2. It is what obnoxious teens think is funny.
oh back in watch dogs 2 it was actually funny because it was so stupid but since then it just became the standard way of writing everything that is marketet at "young" people
@@matteoziegler7632 No it wasn't funny in wd2. It was never funny in wd2.
GenZ humor ;-)
Yeah I hate Ubisoft’s humor. It’s down right CRINGE
@kshamwhizzle it's "how do you do fellow youths"
One thing that stressed me out a lot with this game is the coop friendship circle of doom. Having to stay within a certain radius of each other. Its legit smaller than most of the bases, feels like you're joined at the hip. Takes away so many sandboxy options, you can't approach from different angles, cant have one person being overwatch with a sniper or providing air support with a plane. Not without being within 200 meters of each other, which feels tiny. Can't have one person go find a vehicle and the other work crowd control in bad situations, or persue an objective if the other is pinned down.
The game just doesn't feel like its been designed very well for coop, feels more like a lazy addition they implemented at the end.
That mixed with the weird rpg elements like enemies having health bars, levels and being bullet sponges really killed our excitement for it within a few hours. :(
What’s funny is this is the same company that made Ghost Recon Wildlands, where you could go as far as you wanted on a insanely large map. That game was actually great for a coop experience. Story was decent enough you keep you going through it and gameplay was fun. I played coop with my friend and we had a great time with Wildlands but pretty much hated Far Cry 6.
I wonder if they updated it as I normally complain about this stuff but I can remember saying to my buddy that its nice that you can actually create some breathing room between you both. I thought it was a respectable radius.
@@click8708 i don't remember having that problem in far cry 5 either, it's strange
@@folx2733 It's actually larger than it was in the 5th one, at least now. Not sure how it was when the game first came out though.

Hey, great Review! Ive played it trough and love the paradise feeling
The, like you call it, "huge gasgun looking thing" in 21:19 is for Vehicles. Never used it, but in the Description it says, that you can take down Helicopters, Tanks and so on.
I asked myself why it has coppercoils and read it. First I tought it was a Railgun.
A Railgun would be nice tho
Despite being decent throughout the 2 things that stood out to me was that the game tries too hard to throw in looter shooter menus and mechanics (which is killing open world games) and the fact that Dani and Castillo have basically no interactions whatsoever. He doesn't even know Dani exists, that really kills the felling you're attacking him.
19:34 "Take that M1 Garand for instance..." **Proceeds to show M14**
That hurt my gun nut soul, but I still love your content Gman
cant blame him it kind of looks like a M1 garand with a mag and a scope
I'm glad I'm not the only one who was hurt 😅.
To be fair he's Australian
@@justsomeguywithtb2953 But the Garand is known for one thing, the ping because of the stripper clip, mag feed guns don't use stripper clips
@@nickrustyson8124 i mean there was m1 garand with mags but they werent as common (but im not sure of it so correct me if im wrong)

Your outro music is awesome - sounds like a theme to a Mercenaries game we never got.
Spot on review. You took the words out of my mouth.
I loved this game. Especially the part where you cry far 6 times. That was epic. Really made you feel like a person.

by the gods, we live in one
I've never cried so far or so many since I was birthed. Simply amaze.
@@solutionless123 why did you say that Im literally shaking and crying rn
LET'S GO BRANDON!
I'm over it. I'm not invested in this in any way. I could literally fire up any of the previous Far Cry games and have the same Far Cry experience that is on dispay here. I appreciate your detailed review though and have to agree, this series needs to really shake things up if they are even remotely into the idea of a FC7.
Apparently, Jason Schreier already knows what Far Cry 7 is going to be and said something along the lines of "it's going to be a big departure from what we currently have".
They need to do a time travel game to the Cretaceous period with fully destructible environments, like a T Red knocking down trees etc.
I think it's pretty good dude which I gotta say they added in some assassin's creed climbing mechanics where you can practically shimmy across ledges and get into postion to do a ledge takedown on guards which overall for me this far cry is actually really refreshing plus they brought back Boomer from far cry 5 which was a surprise to me man but I can't wait to play the DLCs for the 3 main villains
@@bustanut5501 Far cry 7 is going to be a battleroyale.
It doesn't even look much better.
Olsuso you get from a treasure hunt combination. He is the best attack amigo he one shots when ambushing. If you upgrade him all the way he can scare soldiers and becomes invincible after going below a certain amount of health
I really wish they'd catch the hints and blend the elements back in that made Farcry 2 and 3 so good. FC2 was a lot more hardcore with its navigation, and vehicles were often a valuable resource in certain areas that could cause problems if you lost it- plus the exploration and open-world factor of FC2 was pretty good, they didn't hold your hand and you could progress the story at your own pace and your choices mattered somewhat- that being said, it was still flawed in some respects, but I will hold a special place for FC2. Speaking of FC3, although some might not agree, it was a lot of fun hunting particularly dangerous animals and having to get creative so you could upgrade your stuff. If they could blend some of the (well done) hardcore aspects of FC2 with some of the progression system of FC3, that'd probably make for an above-decent Farcry game.
Regardless, it just seems like they're grasping at straws with how to spice up their game and are just throwing new stuff in without much thought to try and draw new people in. If they make an FC7, it's gonna have to be radically different in a lot of areas to hold my attention... the outposts system is so outdated and boring, it would be really cool if they would update this most of all as it's one of the more sorely boring parts of the FC series since FC3.
The story man. Political critique of two-party systems, the illusion of choice, ideological hypocrisy, selfless vs. selfish altruism, intellectual honesty and truthfulness behind moral nihilism. Far Cry 2 was made in times when corporate psychopaths weren't aware that their employees were trashing on them covertly via story telling. They hire dumb storywriters these days to keep people asleep, most people don't know how to interpret stories anyway.
Can't wait to play the same game I played 8 years ago
at least take time to change the location and stuff not like GTA5 since it's the same game
@@gamersforlife1294 I mean GTA 5 is the last GTA game that came out so I don't get your point. Far Cry is release almost yearly and is the exact same every time just with a different location. Nothing about the gameplay changes whatsoever.
@@jimboc669 true
Hey, Far Cry 4 made a lot of improvements over 3 and is a much better game imo. So... 7 years, not 8.
@@jimboc669 reminds me of cod fuck that's not good
The fact that ubisoft brought back a non silent protagonist and healing animations kind of sums up what they are doing.
Basically , they are bringing old mechanics/things to bring the old players back, and the season pass is an example of that
Except the crafting mechanics and casual difficulty are antithetical to 1 and 2's design.
Then you have the game store with weapons and clothing you pay for.
Yeaaaahh it's not bringing anyone back. It didn't bring me back to play far cry 6. Especially with those mediocre season passes. Just release the full game. Its sad that we live in a day in age where we have to pay more to play a little more of the same thing. It's weird. It's likely why I don't buy Ubisoft games anymore.
They’re garbage at their jobs so they’re reusing old shit
@@anikan2000
The balance team for their multiplayer is even more garbage, and by that i mean the rainbow six balance team
The panther you get once you finish a particular treasure hunt that is split into three different treasure hunts
13:26 Gman’s phone going off during reviews never fails to make me laugh.
The animations are still the same after almost ten years.
Why create new animations, when you can save money and re use them
I am pissed at ak 47 reloading particulary.
@Lucky It's not about fixing it its about updating it...
@Lucky amazing profile picture 👌🏼
It's the same engine the've been using for 12 years lmao
I kinda wish they would go back to a Far Cry 2 style of game with a more grounded story and realistic mechanics (also bring the insane fire mechanics back please)
I'm not going back to jammed weapons, I just can't
@@guilhermehank4938 I can
@@talpatv512 That idea was cool at first but my god did it get annoying
@@guilhermehank4938 that's something i loved about Far Cry 2. if one of my weapons broke mid fight i would scoure the are for another replacement, which would break after a short while anyway, but it made the gameplay just that much more challenging and got my heart racing on several ocations! something the later Far Cry games has failed misserably at doing other than some missions that are just fucking stupid and buggy, which made me angry if anything.
with the constantly jamming ak47? a gun known for absolute reliability in worst conditions? lel and the long boring travels were dumb aswell.
the most effective way to clear enemy bases was to lay a fire and just wait because the ai didnt run from fire and just happily burned to death.
yeah masterpiece
Been keeping up your videos since Prey (2006) reviews, congratulations on the 500K! :D
I can’t be the only one who would love a gman video on his thought about breaking bad. Brilliant show
I'm just an outsider looking in, but it looks like Farcry is very slowly moving towards Just Cause.
It's an all but nothing game
At least just cause 3 seemed more fun. Destructible environment, creative use of all your tools, mediocre side activities, amazingly different enemy outpost/fortresses.
@@cpt.battlecock5264 Well, while I personally think Just Cause 2 is the better game, I can still tell they tried to change it up a bit with the wing suit, boosters and as you said more impressive destructible environment. When I play Just Cause 3 it doesn't feel like I'm playing Just Cause 2.5(can't speak for Just Cause 4) but when I'm playing Far Cry 4 and 5 it feels like I'm playing Far Cry 3.5 with a different story.
Not actually "slowly". Far Cry 5 was pretty normal, and realistic game, like GTA or Watch Dogs (1 and 2), but 6 is literally just like a cheap Just Cause knock off. They're moving towards it quickly.
@@TheBloopers30 Yea JC3 was very underwhelming to me and I don't know why
Maybe this game is fun, but i hate the overall direction they take with this series. I hate the art direction, humor, characters and etc.
Sadly we never will get a game with the realistic aproach of Far Cry 2 or the 80's action movie style of Blood Dragon.
The worst part of Far Cry 2 is after you complete it on Infamous, you will forever be disappointed by every FPS you play ever again.
@@Mortablunt This is exactly how i feel.
I feel like Stalker is a much more superior game, buggy yes but to me Far Cry 2 is an inferior version of Stalker. At least Far Cry 3 is doing it's own thing that felt original.
@@nerdycookiegirl8423 I don't know why people hold FC3 in such esteem, every FC game since is a - albeit small - improvement/update on it.
@@jackjude because it doesn't feel lazy, there is ... a LOT of animations for BOTH NPCs and First person. Far Cry 2's first person animations are cool... but it's NPCs? Super dated, compared that to Crysis Warhead and Red Faction Guerilla that same year in 2008... omg Red Faction... Red Faction make Far Cry 2 look like a lame physics mod in comparison.
8:25
Fun fact, at the end of that mission in Far Cry 6 the character makes a callback to the 3 mission. Dani saying that this "Felt familiar" after you escape the plantation
Oluso is the panther you didn't get. It's stealth companion like Boom Boom that one shot kills in stealth mode and disintigrates the body so it cannot be found. Oluso also comes with a stealth supremo, stealth gear, and a gun that shoots through walls. So yeah, that's the stealthiest set of everything you can get. Though the gun doesn't have a silencer, it's one shot kill so it's great for rushing missions.
09:09 glad we Italians explained something to a 'Strayan. It's indeed a Spanish cover of an Italian resistance song.
Seems like another "made-by-committee" game.
Reminds me of the “made by committee” firearms, it’s always a mixed bag
Just like any other current Ubisoft game, sadly.
@@JWalters388 Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Valhalla, Watch Dogs Legion, and now this. Ubisoft hasn't made an amazing game in quite a long time.

For anyone watching this video 10 months later I recommend you play 100% stealth and treat it like as soon as you are spotted you die.
It helps bring a ton of challenge and by the end it’s super fun like when I took down the two boats with nothing but a bow and arrow and some throwing knives.
I played Far Cry 5's new game Plus Infamous Difficulty.
And I completed 3/4 of the game (Jacob>Faith>And then alittle of John) without the Detection Meter.
The game essentially became Arma 3's base game single player. And if I wasnt maintaining 100% stealth. Or met them with OVEREHELMING AND ALL ENCOMPASSING Violence. I would get shredded in 3 shots (all guns are Automatic MGs.)
Then I realized that the "Reward" was an Outfit the Shitty Launcher gave me at the start. ("Rook" outfit) that now is Devalued because EVERYONE else has it.
I reccomend this. But please just play with the Detection Meter.
Yeah, but that takes the fun out of it. What I love is having the option of stealth or loud and proud, in 6 it really feels like stealth is just forced, and though it's challenging, it gets long and boring. Sometimes you just wanna pop in with a helicopter and go blasting.
Great video buddy!
If I see health bars in a farcry game, I'm already not convinced.
Thank god there's an option to turn them off
@@svn-zq5rv well thats nice, but the games still been deigned as an RPG instead of a story driven fps and survival game.
@@svn-zq5rv You can also do that in new dawn?
Did that change the overall gameplay?
NO!
Same. Also: objective markers floating in the sky & seeing people through walls like you're the Predator lol
@@ouroldhouse3674
Yeah, the drugs and tattoo's that allowed you to see shit through walls was fine; but being a core mechanic? Hell no--.

So... the plot of Unreal?
Dude just invented Unreal
Sounds better than this to me anyway

(10:28) Firing the RPG at the big oil tank reminded me of a level from BLACK. It's on Game Pass, I'd recommend playing it instead lol.
I just want to know how you make the characters on your thumbnails smile so sincerely.
"This is a well optimized game, I played it with my 3080TI, I7 10700K and 64GB RAM PC"
This doesn't mean it's optimized well, it just means it runs well on a reall high end PC, which doesn't mean fuck all, because if it runs like shit in a spec like that then the game is not functional, so it's the minimum effort for a game to run well on a PC like that. If someone wants to talk about optimization they should test the game on multiple specs, because without it you saying it is well optimized means nothing.
Finally someone with more than one brain cell. A game running on the highest end pc doesn't mean jack shit. Midrange gamers always get the short end of stick when it comes to optimization
Hope GMan sees this and changes the whole "optimization" part of the reviews
It would be neat if he could somehow get ahold of even just a 1080 ti or thereabouts; something middle of the road to see how it runs on that. It would certainly give a way bigger chunk of his audience a more accurate idea
lol k
For real. It’s like him saying his custom tailor made shirt fits him perfectly so it should fit everyone else
A Far Cry: Blood Dragon sequel would be legendary
I honestly don't think they could make another one.
@@koroplays3200 Blood dragon was a DLC and honestly, it played through it's strengths. But I think a lot of iconic references were already used up in the first
We can't expect God to do all the work Naaah, Blood Dragon is one of a kind. Don't ruin it with a sequel. Just make fun of a different era or something.
....So what? Far Cry: Obsidian Sands? Instead of dragons, its a dune ripoff with some mummy curses, filled with truck sized cybernetic scorpions and pyramids that makes obligatory sky beam that must be stopped. And some prince of persia references to generate hype.
@@Disissid19 nah... Still got the movies Megaforce, Metal Storm: The Destruction of Jared Syn and The Wraith to exploit.
4:46 I actually had to mute my game there. That song was beyond shite. I put on Metallica, put my head down and got through that atrocity of a mission.
That outro song amazing
15:44 I know "laser pointer guns" is a meme/joke in casual fps games but holy shit. He's shooting full auto with no actual recoil
His gun has the high level no horizontal/vertical recoil mod attached to it. That gun without it has more recoil.
@@allisoncornell4378 it looks more like he activated "minimal" on how much your screen is allowed to rattle

Yeah why would you remove that? It's classic fc system that needs no changing.
By the way, that Oluso companion is in a cave treasure hunt. On the starting island you should come across a note that tells you where to go
The plantation sequence happens in 3 4 and its kinda like one mission in 5 and now 6, they really like that one

Lets be honest, if they did take risk with the series the gaming community would just complain and say " it's not like farcry anymore" and dismiss it.
@@mrwillard95 it would depend on how they execute it. People enjoyed Blood Dragon and it was a risk.
'It's an Ubisoft game' - My thorough and in depth Far Cry 6 review.
Honestly though, The setting of 6 is a huge boon for me. Never expected anything more then a paint by numbers Far Cry game, which equates to good, dumb fun for me personally, but being a fan of the whole 'banana republic' setting in games like Just Cause and Tropico.adds just enough of an edge for me to keep me keen on this one.
I agree. I never thought the far cry games were particularly ground breaking (certainly not in story, although 3 was pretty good), I’ve always enjoyed far cry games for the fun, mindless action. Yeah, it would of course be nice if they actually polished things more and made more compelling stories, but I’ve grown to look at far cry games as games about having fun with the different vehicles and guns and not so much about caring about the story.
@@lakerfan0243 they were groundbreaking (especially 3)
@@AceticTWO ehhh, agree to disagree I guess. 3 was definitely great but I’m not sure it was a huge groundbreaking game (at least in terms of story). Sure the open world and stuff may have been special, but the story wasn’t (although Vas was a great villain)
Yeah me too plus there's some new climbing mechanics where now you can shimmy across ledges and peek while hanging on a ledge which is a great new mechanic and basically adds some assassin's creed type vibes to it.

Just bought the 3 4 and 5 bundle. I'm so pumped, never played 5
Far Cry 2 is the undisputed pinnacle of the series. I thoroughly enjoyed the shift to more casual gameplay in Far Cry 3 because of the god tier writing and premise for me. Again, for me, my humble opinion. There’s really no “bad” games in the main series. But there’re only so many things you can do in this formula before you’ve seen it all.
Undisputed would mean that everybody holds it in the top regard, That title of ‘undisputed pinnacle’ would go to far cry 3 off of what I heard
@@nibbanibba5064 undisputed in this context was defined by me clearly saying “my humble opinion”. Meaning “I can’t dispute to myself that there’s a better title.”
@@nibbanibba5064 nah Far cry 3 had a linear approach despite giving the illusion of open world. Far cry 2 your a madman and even a lot of the games mechanics were better than in far cry 3
Blood Dragon 2 cof cof
Malaria is the pinnacle
Far Cry 2 was great because due to malaria and gun jamming the game reminded the player that they are still vulnerable and they are only human.
Legit sighed as I saw the footage of another mission where you burn crops with a flamethrower.
Me too. Just pathetic from Ubisoft. Copy-pasted, playing it safe garbage that I’ve come to expect from them.

The series has to get serious real serious , this weird and comical route has to stop .
looking at ubis other upcoming games I really doubt it will. such shitty comedy and just being as obnoxious as possible trying to appeal to gen z. they are so out of touch its crazy
I wish we got something like Far Cry 2. It has that real oppressive and grinding atmosphere. No fun allowed, but in a good way.

exactly,where are the more serious characters at? clearly an excess of both steroid machos and weed smoking hippies makes games look ridiculous,they are fun to look at for 10 minutes but I think characters should be more...yknow normal,not walking stereotypes,but meh whatever it's just a silly game where you burn weed I guess
@@falco5148 yeah, like in FC3, 4, and 5 most characters were normal, but then they had a few stereotypes for fun. Like that over the top American guy who always used huge machine guns. Or the guy who you fly in a plane with in FC3.

If farcry had more destructible environments then it would be the perfect substitute for just cause.
Far Cr as a series kinda peaked for me with Far Cry3 ( and far cry 5 to some extent in terms of setting). The rest of the games now feel like a reskinned Far Cry 3 2.0 now with some rpg mechanics, steampunk weapons and Ubisoft's cringe marketing.

Having a much better time with this one than I expected. Figured it'd be too similar to previous entries, and it is, but it's refined just enough while keeping that same fun formulae we're all used to.
Goofiness and hardcore torture. That classic sociopathic Far Cry formula. It's almost as if Ubisoft is run by truly awful human beings.
It's absurd.
"It's almost as if Ubisoft is run by truly awful human beings."
Well that's one way to describe the French.
They are French
It can be pulled off well too.
They TRY to make the player laugh, the entire point is to make the character saying it laugh, think of the same vain as Vaas.
That combo really doesn't sit well with me. Some anime also have this weird fetish with violence.
I quite like violent media when done well! But goofy + intimate violence doesn't work for me at all.
I think a lot of us have just outgrown Far Cry at this point. What started out as semi-serious and gritty has evolved into gimicky siliness that's been copy-pasted for nearly a decade. Maybe one day we'll see The Jackal return, and a more serious tone with him.
Maybe in far cry 7
Agreed. Copy-pasted, paint by numbers rubbish that’s been thrown together by a bunch of out of touch zoomers. Listen to the dialogue and writing in Ubisoft games; it’s so cringeworthy.
This is why Far Cry 2 will alway be my favorite. Dark, gritty, realistic. None of the forced comedic relief, none of the Michael Bay splosions n stuff. Not to mention the top notch fire physics and the asthetics.
Man jackal has so much scope for expansion and depth as a character. I really get pissed off at ubisoft just taking a look at farcry 2 and just going "nope miss me with that shit" just because it made less money.
@@Saved-by-Grace Far Cry 3 is better than 2 in my opinion. In terms of gameplay, and overall story, etc.
I am liking the Far Cry series. I've been playing them in a backwards order. I finished 5, and 4, now I'm playing 3 (classic edition) I'm really liking 3, (besides some of the vehicles getting crazy on me when I'm driving.) and I just got Far Cry 6. Excited to play this one. Since I'm on a binge with these games. These games are a nice pick up and play type of game. I really enjoy the fact That with my busy life, when I am amble to play, I feel a sense of accomplishment with the progress I made and a sense of enjoyment from the time I had playing.

Did anyone ever tell Ubisoft the definition of insanity?
Insanity...is...releasing the exact same fucking game, over and over again, expecting shit to change.
That is crazy.
I want to know exactly how many franchises change their signature gameplay with each new entry. With every new entry in any franchise, u either get a new protagonist or a new setting (sometimes not even that. For eg:- Horizon Zero Dawn). Every GTA game is just a bigger map with beautiful graphics and yet almost everyone .... to GTA 5. How was GTA V different from GTA 4. Infact with each new entry, the gameplay in rockstar games becomes more and more frustatingly linear and yet I dont see people crying about that. This is hypocrisy. It is like we have set higher expectations for Ubisoft than other gaming companies. Why is Ubisoft put through a tougher test compared to other developers?
@@sparshbansal6624 Not a single one, people just like to bitch. Far Cry, Cod, BF, CS, NFS, FH, GTA, every single fucking mmorpg to ever exist. It's all the same. And it's all just as fun. Id be dissapointed if Far Cry suddenly changed into something different, because Far Cry is Far Cry and not something else...
@@sparshbansal6624 GTA 5 compared to 4 was a massive technological jump. It was arguably a masterpiece when it came out in 2013 because it was one of the only open world games to offer such a fleshed out and well told story while providing the player with so many side tasks that were actually enjoyable, paired with it's excellent writing. The story, gameplay and overall design was objectively better. There was also a 5 year time gap between the 2. Far Cry however remains the same every single iteration, the graphics improve slightly, the design philosophies remain almost exactly the same year after year after year. It's oversaturated, and all that changes is the location and the gimmicky villain. The stories are always half assed, and the writing is never as fleshed out as it should be. If you've played Far Cry 3, you've played them all. The games are a lazy cash grab for a developer that has run out of ideas. Horizon Zero dawn is carried by it's story and builds up intrigue, you want to know everything that has happened in the world it sets up.
@@owlish_hotel The difference is the other games aren't released in a yearly basis like Far Cry has been in the past. The devs actually take time to improve the aspects of their games that they feel players are interested in. Far Cry remains the same, with every single release. Bland repetitive gameplay paired with a bland uninteresting story. All that changes is the setting.
