r/farcry

I played my first FC game last year (Far Cry 4) on Series X and loved it! I especially loved the DLC to finish the game.
I hadn't planned on playing FC3 because it was like 720p30 on consoles and FC4 at 1080p60 was the minimum res I'd play any game (60fps is my target fps).
But then a few months back, Ubisoft put out an update to get FC3 to 1440p60 so it's actually higher res than FC4!

Anyway, I bought it for $9 (didn't include the Blood Dragon but I will buy that when I'm done the main game).

I'm about 35 hours into the game, and still have barely done the main story (just ran into Willis Huntley and now being prompted to go light up some fields) and only have about 1/2 the map opened up with the towers. I'm playing on Master difficulty and it's still not that hard, but nice enough. I tend to open the towers outposts and then clear the map in the area that is directly related to the part of the story line I'm in before proceeding to the next part of the map/story. The game says I'm 49% finished so I will probably be in the 60+ hours before I finish.

But my favourite part of this game is just exploring! And I don't use Fast Travel most of the time: if I want to get somewhere, I find a vehicle,boat or walk. There is something about this map I prefer over FC4, maybe it's the fact that the island is surrounded by water (obviously) and you can get on a boat and go out and drive around.

I'm shocked that this game is only 16GB too. There is so much detail and so many hidden places to find.

My only minor quibbles are the super narrow FOV with no slider (which I somewhat get used to after a week but wish they'd added a slider in the recent updates) and almost wish MAYBE it was a bit harder. I'm playing on Master and haven't any troubles... but I do play a stealth game as I love stealth... so enemies are usually dead before they know I'm around. LOL. I've pretty much maxed out my wallet, ammo pouches etc and I don't need to loot anybody because my wallet is always full. I wish the game was a bit more stingy with $ and loot.

But yeah, LOVE this game! I still have FC5 and 6 (Oh I guess Primal), but I was wondering if there are other games out there like Far Cry?

Oh and one final question: "WHO'S THE MAN?!"

Does anyone else find it funny that Far Cry games follow the exact same formula every time?

I finished FC5 twice because its so fn good. Now im on PS5 and purchased the FC5/New Dawn bundle to play FC5 again, lol. But got really, i mean, REALLY curious about New Dawn because its a continuation of FC5.

'Dunno, probably skipped New Dawn because for me personally, the ending of FC5 was perfect. It didnt need a continuation. Im probably very early in New Dawn but its nothing compared to FC5. I love how the map looks but everything else feels so weak. Im not sure about this "weapon tier system". A super early side mission at the very beginning of the game, very close to the outpost had a purple bosslike enemy, like, wtf?

Hopefully there will be a lot of Joseph content in the game.

Random question but is it weird that i feel sorry for paul after we catch him and bring him to the golden path. I know hes a horrible person being the turtorer of Pegan Min and how he likes to kill the people of kayrat but he loves his family and he gets so desprete to see and talk to his family. And for some reason it hurts me everytime i take him to the golden path to be torcured and killed.

For me it was the definition and how tarun matara is made.

How do you guys playing it on modern hardware? I'm currently trying to play it but it keep crashing every 5 - 10 minutes, i try every tips on older forums and using Multi-Fixer but nothing worked. I also notice that if i'm tune down the graphic settings i could play for longer (around 15 or 30 minutes). If anyone can help i'm really appreciated.

I need to destroy a pagans wrath to get the heavy beatdown skill, I can’t see any on my map, does anybody know how they are triggered or are they just completely random?
