Far Cry 6 - soap opera continues, this time in Cuba

[DeepOcean]

Don't see the point of it, look like a remake of Far Cry 3, they even have a torching of a drug plantation mission.

Every Ubisoft game since Watch Dogs 2 and Far Cry 3 now has to be "quirky", including Riders' Republic.

A whole playlist here. I'm still trying to figure out what the gimmick will be this time.

99% of that was running around collecting shit and looking at maps and UI screens.

Will Kalypso release a Farcry 6 themed DLC?

 

[ferratilis]

Look at the road lol. And the running animations of soldiers, even bigger lol

Here is 3 hours of gameplay for anyone who cares.

"The player takes the role of a local Yaran named Dani Rojas, a former soldier in the Yaran armed forces turned guerrilla soldier fighting for freedom who attempts to restore their nation to its former glory."

Meh. Thought we'd play as the antagonist's son. At least I'm assuming that they'll have 'branching' paths akin to Far Cry 4, perhaps with the protagonist mentoring the aforementioned kid to lead the country in this or that direction.

 

[Morgoth]

All this talent wasted on such a stupid, excuse me, quirky, game.

Is it still a bland ass game about finding radio towers and crafting shit?

I can confirm the developers are Ubisoft, yes.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

takes place on the fictional Caribbean island of Yara, which is inspired by Cuba and described as "the largest Far Cry playground to date" and "a tropical paradise frozen in time". It is ruled by "El Presidente" Antón Castillo (Giancarlo Esposito), a fascist dictator

Khavari's family had experienced the Iranian Revolution in the late 1970s, eventually having fled to Canada, and using these experiences, those from Cuba, and from other research that Ubisoft had done, he wanted Far Cry 6 to have a story "about the conditions that lead to the rise of fascism in a nation, the costs of imperialism, forced labor, the need for free-and-fair elections, LGBTQ+ rights, and more."

Cuba

Iranian revolution

Fascist

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

fascist is the new nazist.

 

[Morgoth]

Same graphics as the predecessor, twice the hardware hunger.

Next-Gen!

And I've just found out that, besides a meme ending a la FC4, this game has only one ending.

I just wanna shoot Gus Fring in the face.

The question is, is it worth paying $60 just for that?

 

[Owl]

Performance is actually reasonable.
Raytracing options seem pointless - the performance hit is relatively small, but so is the visual difference between rt off ultra and rt on.
Enabling raytracing will also eat your vram like crazy.

If you really have to get it, just pay $15 for the Uplay+ subscription, shoot him in the face and be done with it. It's a game you play once and forget about it, anyway.

Just print out a picture and throw something at it. Use the $60 for something you'll enjoy.

I can't claim to really be a fan of the Far Cry games, but they could be moderately fun when I turned my brain off for them though. I think the lack of any sort of skill tree might limit my sense of progression, however, which was the only thing that even helped keep the games kind of interesting.

The last Far Cry game I enjoyed was Primal in survival mode and Blood Dragon. I got this for free with my 6900XT and I'm having quite a bit of fun with it. Didn't enjoy FC3. The setting in FC6 is way better than the other games. Runs on my machine really well and looks fantastic. Unfortunately the combat AI is pretty shit but that doesn't really matter since I'm going full stealth and would be wiping these guys out anyways.

The gear looks pretty cool.

How long until it comes to Steam tho? 6 months? 1 year?

never ever unless the Steam Deck/SteamOS 3.0 is a huge success. They've been exclusive to uPlay and using the Epic Games Store as a secondary storefront for a long time.
