Far Cry Primal = boring, meh

So, I never played a Far Cry (haven't been too impressed with any of Ubisoft's other games apart from Rayman and some of the Prince of Persia games though), what's the big deal?
Title: Re: Far Cry 5 - Reveal May 26
Post by: benjipwns on May 24, 2017, 09:27:35 PM
Far Cry originally was from CryTek and while linear did allow you some relative, especially for the time, freedom for much of the game to tackle enemies however you saw fit. Be it sniping them from afar, going in just blasting, or driving a Jeep over top of them. Crysis basically built off of this where the game is linear but is a bunch of sandbox areas stuck together.

Far Cry stayed as a Ubisoft property though. And with 2 they basically turned it into a crazy open-world FPS where this freedom was truly amped up. 2 had things like propagating fire and weather and day/night cycle that you could use against enemies. (There'd be guys inside during storms at night rather than outside, etc., they'd run from the fire and get alarmed overall, etc.) 3 amped this up and especially into stealth. 4's addition is mainly the location allowing for lots more stuff with the mountains and height being more of a factor than in earlier games. (Also it has a hilarious twist available.)

And then there's 3: Blood Dragon which is all of this but set in a 1980s era low budget dystopian sci-fi action flick. I guess Primal is the same concepts but set in the Stone Age, I haven't played it.

Also a key thing in the world building is that you're basically out in the wild for lots of it, with villages or small little outposts being the largest population centers, you're not in cities like Assassins Creed or whatever.

the setting and enemy is super easy to politicize.

Any dipshit upset that Ubisoft is "making the white people evil" was likely fine killing Africans in FC2 and fictionalized Nepalese in FC4.

Truth be told, this is perfectly in line with past Far Cry games. I mean, if you took Pagan Min from FC4 and made him American and put him in an American setting, he'd probably be a Militia cult leader up in some remote compound in the Rocky mountains.

EDIT: unless you're talking about the actual game mechanics and not the current controversy, pls ignore.

FC3 also polished the hell out of everything and turned minor things that were criticized in FC2 into full blown systems.

Animals die on mere contact with your vehicle, they are rare and there are no predators among them? Well now there are agressive predators everywhere and you can hunt them, turn them into wallets and even sick them on enemies with bait.

In many ways, FC2 is not a game you would expect a major publisher to make. FC3 is in every way a game you would expect a major publisher to make.

It looks sick as fuck. I always wondered how a Far Cry game set in a first-world country would be with all the killing and explosions.

Since I might be the only person who played Far Cry 2, I should mention that like half the African soldiers you fight are white. It was probably the most racially balanced Far Cry game actually and a lot of reviewers/forumites rolled their eyes at how PC it was.

Now Far Cry 3.....while very fun, definitely got into some crazy cultural appropriation territory with you being a white bro who sexualises a very ethnic cult leader who wants you to become their new super saiyan god thing. It had some weird stuff racially.

FC4 was okay. I didn't finish it. I never played FC Primal but your main enemy are the neanderthals which are the essence of whiteness.

I would say Far Cry has been good about letting you shoot people of all background. The Tom Clancy games on the other hand....those developers have a lot of fear of Mexicans.

also there's so many ethnic/gender choices for who you play as with the rest becoming npc mission givers it's like a freakin UN peace keeping mission without the rape but with lots more murder

actually, i think that's one of the plot points that the UN/whoever have totally bailed on the place so they have to rely on mercenaries like you and the others

White guy saviour was a fair accusation, but said cult leader is just using you and ritualistically fucks then murders you in one of the endings. You do have to kill your friends to get that far, though, so many probably never saw it.

The game is nowhere near as clever as the writer wanted to make it out to be in that RPS interview, but that one worked. Well, within the confines of AAA murder simulators, anyway...

But why?

Honest question. The only good one post-FC1 is FC3: Blood Dragon, and that's because they went flat-out ridiculous. FC2 had too many respawning checkpoints. 3 was just boring. I haven't even bothered with 4, Primal because the gameplay just looks the same-y "Ubisoft tower" gameplay that FC3 had. And, as someone that plays the yearly releases of Assassin's Creed: I don't need more of that in my life.

Hopefully 5 is where they radically change it up and jettison the Ubisoft check-list design they have had for a while. I'm not asking for a Crysis (far from it), but go with a land-locked Far Cry: Instincts design would be nice. Being able to bypass enemies and objectives. But my memory on the X-box/console port of Far Cry is fuzzy, so I might be misremembering the ability to skip objectives/checkpoints and get through the game quicker.

Far Cry 3 was really great when it came out, but Far Cry 4 just felt like more of the same but in a different setting. Got about 12-15 hours into it before I got bored and moved on. But I really like what I'm seeing so far of Far Cry 5, looks like encounters are more varied and more tactical, with more and better ways to get things done.

It's still probably gonna have an Ubisoft open-world, though. :-\

Not at all. They're FPS games with a conventional open world structure, with minor unscripted systems on top to give you something to do as you roam. Pick a mission and go do the objective any way you see fit, fend off animals and random patrols on the way, basically. Addictive in their own way (I compulsively stealth cleared every outpost in FC3), but it's more of a list-ticking excercise than it is about making discoveries.

You're not going to find an NPC off the beaten path who gives you a cool quest for a unique weapon. Or even stashes of goodies, really. There is stuff to collect, but it's either money or crafting mats and all of it is clearly marked on your map so you can run down your shopping list. There may be hidden achievement fodder, but I don't remember.

If you want first-person exploration, I can recommend STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat. But then they're not quite Bethesda Fallout free-roam adventures, either. Much more linear than they seem.
Title: Re: Far Cry 5 - Reveal May 26
Post by: benjipwns on March 30, 2018, 03:55:44 PM
The one add onto Rufus' explanation, and minor disagreement about is 2.

2 had some of those to where you could miss lots of them by doing just the given missions, but it was more because I think they scaled back the scope of the plot and just left them in the game more than intentionally designed to be discovered. IIRC, 2 was even supposed to have the ecosystem but all the animals are herbivores because they couldn't get the carnivores from killing off everything else and starving to death and yanked them completely out of the game. Really, a lot of parts that work in 2 that 3+ never improved upon or made actively worse are probably because they were working but unfinished in 2 and they just lopped off all the unfinished connecting parts to release it. One that really sticks out is how much the game explains to you the time system and its importance, and how much it doesn't actually matter. :lol

But as Rufus said, these are more big dumb open worlds that eventually direct you everywhere as part of a checklist more than they are open worlds with a mainline, a secondary sideline and then stuff peppered about that's world building or sorts that you come upon from exploring. It's closer to something like Borderlands's vision of an open world, where you can bypass all kinds of side shit, but it tells you that it's there. (To use a non-Ubisoft example!)

This game is a goddamned buggy mess. Just one example - I saved and logged out last night after I got the Leadership perk. When I logged in this morning I had somehow lost the perk. Missions were still completed, the 6 needed points were still spent, but I didn't have the perk anymore.

Also, as pretty as it is (and it is pretty, makes me want RDR2 even more), Montana is a fucking boring Far Cry setting.  There's nothing exotic about Montana no matter where you live in the world.  I'm already finding myself playing more out of purchase obligation than being actively engaged.

I love Far Cry 5 and its my favorite in the franchise, by far. Friendly AI, enemy AI, it becomes a magnificent clusterfuck that causes the best open world moments this gen. You use shovels as spears, you can command AI to drive or pilot anything, and you dont know what's gonna happen.

The setting is great and cohesive, I remember shit about the map, landmarks.

I love Far Cry 5 and its my favorite in the franchise, by far. Friendly AI, enemy AI, it becomes a magnificent clusterfuck that causes the best open world moments this gen. You use shovels as spears, you can command AI to drive or pilot anything, and you dont know what's gonna happen.

The setting is great and cohesive, I remember shit about the map, landmarks.

I was telling my AI partner to either move, attack, or follow me. That simplicity combined with what they and everything else does is fantastic.

Whoa hoa hoa hoa hoa. How do you tell your partner to drive/fly? That sounds awesome.

If you mark a point on your map, and have your partner set to follow, hopping in anything as a passenger will make the AI drive or fly. I think.

With Liz and the helicopter in that clip I posted, I never told her to fly, the AI followed me using a helicopter that was next to them.  :lol

I was eventually directing her while I was grappled on. Same with telling her to attack the helicopter. I told her to attack the helicopter, fire arrows was an idea she had lol.

I've seen clips of AI partners bailing out as the pilot from helicopters and planes.

I'm really liking it so far. Some of the game design is a bit flakey tho (resistance bars per region are annoyingly low, and being forced into missions based on those bar checkpoints is annoying as well).

Setting feels great tho (I've never been to Montana), gunplay is good, and I really REALLY like the potential of the arcade mode. Plus, the DLC could be a lot of fun when it arrives.

All I can say, is, running and flying around with an all woman squad, murdering hick cultists with shovel spears and thrown baseball bats, while my AI partner is competently murdering them too, is fun as fuck.

Ubisoft would be my favorite big publisher this gen.

There are tailing missions and the combat system is more or less the same, except with classes of weapons to use. You have played it right?

Love hate relationship with FC5 but I enjoyed it enough to get the DLC and buy Assassins Creed Origins during the spring sale.

Pros:
Enjoyed all the sections of Montana. Jacobs region did feel a bit like FC4 with all the grappling.
Ammo switching between semi, burst and full auto.  While gun types are limited this helps change things up.
Constant enemies on the road. They are a cult who has taken over a section of Montana. You escaped from them and are slaughtering them. One would expect this. I see many complain about this but I think it was great. Plus getting on the roadways leads to craziness galore.
Hunting and fishing. I prefer to do it for the money.  Great way to infuse some cash when you are looking to buy "X." I was never a fan of the hunt animals to upgrade things. Using the skill points by finding magazines and unlocking challenges worked well for me.
Prepper Stashes. Loved each of the little puzzles to break into the stash. Easily my favorite new thing.
Music. Loved every bit of it. I could sit at the map screen forever.

and

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnaUjQ7zCzs

Cons:
Story, especially the constant pulling you from the game. Just breaks what little story there is. We can capture you at any time but are not going to kill you.
Ending. I beat it pretty quick and did not have a clue as to what I would be getting into. The alternate ending is even worse. 
Silent player. Kinda expected this when they went with a male and female option with customization.
The guy who sounds like an Indian but looks nothing like one that constantly yaps at you in major fishing sports. Fuck this guy. No I do not want to hear your story.
Weather. It does rain and snow in Montana. I think 3 had some weather but 4 did not.
Postgame. It lets you back into the world to finish stuff up, which based on the ending and some of the post game menu screens come off making you want to sent some hate mail to Ubisoft for such a half assed handling of this. Just revert back to before you started the final confrontation. Easy Peasy.  Nope, not for Ubisoft.

Thankfully I do not prioritize stories in video games, especially open word games. I did not look at any of the notes, once I clicked on them outside of the prepper stash notes. I skipped through every cut scene and have no clue what the first two Faith kidnappings were about since there was no action involved.

I'm at the final confrontation with Joseph. The only interesting area was Faith, and all her segments. I didnt bother completing all the outposts because theres no point. I just run in with my silenced AR and kill everyone without even trying.

The partners make the game stupid easy. Especially the woman with the attack helicopter.

Far Cry 3 is still the best one and they are trying their gosh darn hardest to make an interesting character like Vaas and falling flat every time.

Some are even easier to earn as well (destroy 4 cars at once, destroy 10 planes...)

The only partner I used is Boomer and only when I was hunting. They do make parts of the game too easy. The perk that gives you two specialists at one time is basically God Mode. Outposts were my favorite part of the past few games but they were all far too easy in 5. The majority of the Alarms were out in the open and easily sniped without being spotted. There was only one time I was not able to clear all the alarms w/o being spotted and that was due to a cougar rushing me when I was in stealth mode. Did not help that there were not any Fortresses equivalent to what was in FC4. Hoping we get to see some really good user created Outposts in the Arcade.
