I played another bit and I have to say the game is shit. Not "absolute shit" but in the sense of being mediocre, full of those little modern mechanics that get in the way of you and fun and you and challenge.
On hard, the game is very easy and AT THE SAME time frustating. There is NO weapon that you can just fucking click on the enemy and fire (else they become a lot less effective). Between recoil, the necessity of iron sighting EVEN WITH THE FUCKING MINIGUN, having to reload weapons like the minigun and the flamethrower, weird lag after sprinting until you can shoot for some reason- keep in mind that with all this the game is piss easy (someone suggested switching to normal\easy, but then the extreme easiness of the game would still be a problem), but all these little mechanics seem really out of place thematically and just get in the way of some good fun- why can't I just put my fucking crosshair on the enemy and fucking fire? Because then they would have to carefully consider enemy placement and general balance to make the game a challenge, so why the fuck bother, let's give the super badass cyborg protagonist the micheal j fox syndrome and call it a day! (of course any hit to the head is often instantly fatal)
Talking about enemy placement and general game design, the game feels incredibly samey, I think it was the same with the previous far cries- you just assault samey looking bases with samey enemy placement (always in numbers low enough to not pose a challenge) and you roam through a samey island. Samey, samey, samey. I think the developers tried to rely on "emergent" gameplay- instead of having carefully planned battles and carefully positioning enemies - and feels very sandboxy- and for me these are very negative words. It's a game for people who want to make their own fun instead of relying on an already competently done game.
The enemy variety is atrocious, their behavior is clanky to give a chance to even the most retarded console players, the animals are complete unfun shit to fight, the tutorial lady can't shut the fuck up and remind you of shit it just reminded you 10 minutes ago, there is a CRINGe inducing unsolicited line about VIDYA BEING HEALTHY or some shit (I turned down the volume during that speech), really the only great stuff is the music and some of the lines- cutscenes.
WARNING: DON'T EXPECT ANY KIND OF INCLINE FROM THE GAMEPLAY OF THIS TURD, DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE PRESENTATION!
