    Did you play any of the other far cry titles or was that your first? Because in a vacuum I could see 6 being fun, but when you go into 6 expecting a game like the other far cry titles it really fell short.

        That’s makes a ton of sense then. Well I would highly recommend 3, 4 and 5 as well, but those games might end up tainting your memory of 6. Or who knows maybe playing 6 first will make you not really like the other ones.

        If you were only going to play one other far cry game I would recommend 5 as it’s the most recent title while also still feeling like a “proper” far cry game.

          Far cry went down hill after blood dragon. It was already repeat of 3 but the theme carried hard but also was lower priced standalone…

          Everything after? No thanks.

            Really? 4 is pretty much regarded as the best one by most fer cry people.

            When I made a survey on the far cry subreddit the top 3 games were 5, 4 and 3 was in third place lol.

              4 went hard on all the map clutter IMO. The setting was alright and villain was just too close to feeling like they’re trying to capture Vaas lightning in a bottle type so unfortunately it bounced off me. Which is a shame, as it probably would have been the superior game in 3 didn’t happen and was fresh in my memory.

              I admit, it is a “me” problem.

                Nah man that’s totally fine. Enjoyment in video games is very subjective.

                I hated far cry primal but many people love it.

            I played it for an hour at a friend’s house. I hated it.

            For a game with no guns the melee system is going to get a lot of use. It’s incredibly basic and boring. The ranges weapons didn’t appeal to me.

            I never bought it for myself or played itore than that.
