Why was this game so satisfying. I just couldn't get into Far Cry 4

far cry 4 had way too much verticality and the world seemed very lazily put together

>going against your friends you risked your life for to get some gross pussy

>implying it wasn't to avoid the boring normie life

>Not going full native

dunno, seemed like the game had led up to killing your friends.

Plus they were fucking annoying cunts.

>more relatable protagonist
>better setting
>felt more fresh
4 plays exactly the same just with a more boring skin and the villain is recycled too

why on earth would I kill my friends for some crazy LITERAL RAPIST (why didn't the SJWs hop on that) bitch

I wish that the "stay on the island" ending wasn't so clearly the bad end. It seemed like the game was leading up to staying on the island, but if you choose to it's just "you murder your friends and then get murdered"

I know, but still, it looks nice and the world is pretty big. When i think about the game I want to play it, then I install it and just get bored. Maybe it's just too similar.

fc4 was a carbon copy in a new locale

Far cry 3 had pretty fun multiplayer too. Those custom maps gave the game life that those single player customs in 4 failed to do, most were pure garbage.

>>more relatable protagonist
what? I loved FC3 but the protagonist was one of the most awful parts and I definitely don't think he was relatable

He had a character arc at least, one of the few vidya characters where their slaughter actually affects them mentally

too bad you dont have much "life" left after that

>reminder that these were the ideas for Far Cry 5 but we got Primal instead

I meant that he is a generic guy stranding on an island with his friends which is easier to self insert

>he really thinks Primal wasn't just DLC of FC4 sold as a full priced game.

You almost immediately get what you deserve, so it's fine.

you mean to goddamn tell me that they can essentially make a ground breaking jurassic park game and they wont? Fuck. Me.

None of those could be good while retaining the Far Cry name.

Probably the last time we got attractive women by a western dev.

ALL I WANNA DO IS

You can be damn sure Primal was already in development when they released that poll.

ayy fucking lmao buddy. Just stop posting

> Not liking Jason Bourne
what the fuck man

The vampire one could be damn interesting if they didn't half ass it
>if human side: defend cities/outposts from vampires and seek out their lairs
>if vampire side: attack cities/outposts during the night or wreck other vampire covens

One of the things I like in the Far Cry games is to sneak around and take out outposts without getting detected. Playing as an vampire stalking faggot humans during the night could be fun.

Playing as human would require you to use traps and weapons more efficient to take down vampires or mow down hordes of stupid ghouls the vampires send in as fodder in bigger battles.

I just want another Far Cry set in africa, the bush war setting was perfect, the execution wasn't

for a retard Sup Forumslock crossposter I'm surprised you didnt post the blond.

>Amita
>not Bhadra

sry, I should've posted Evie

better soundtrack and characters and setting

Far cry 3 was fun as hell but i would have changed this

>keep Vaas as main villain and dont kill him in the middle of the game
>Vaas fight is a real fight, and not a dreamy bullshit
>protagonist and his friends arent rich dudebros
>more endings, not just "bad" and good ending
And there.

The intro for me was fucking brutal, i actually feared the pirates, but then it went downhill.

Vietnam or Peru would've been fucking perfect

>Make an interesting and incredibly well played villain
>Kill him off mid-game
Bravo Ubisoft

Because it's fucking retarded but in a fun way and Vaas has a killer VA.

>Anything about that
>Attractive
I would be less disgusted with you if you were gay.

Farcry game with zombies
Dead island?

>tfw you could have had Far Cry: Jurrassic Park

fuck i havent even played far cry 4 or primal due to how generic and boring they look. far cry 3 was such a blast though.

I didn't get how it was a difficult choice at all.
I think since the character development felt rushed as hell from "oh my god I just killed a pig" to mass murdering guards in like 3 hours. I didn't feel very invested in the natives at all.

>Those eyes
>Those lips
Stop it boner, this is illegal.

...

I played like 30% of 4 and Primal and they do indeed get boring extremely quick but I also finished 3 and loved it

>There hasn't been a good Far Cry game since Instincts

Open world is SHIT

Every fucking open world game is the samey, copy pasted tower in a base bullshit

Go back to wide, linear levels goddamnit

comforting to see there are others out there who loved far cry 3 but had trouble staying interested in far cry 4, feels less bad mang

i think some of my favorite parts of far cry 3 were the missions that were just platforming through ancient ruins for that creepy rapist dude. so atmospheric and shit. fuck i loved far cry 3.

God she was so fucking hot

>platforming through ancient ruins for that creepy rapist dude

Those were great. They really nailed that character

>instincts
>good

I meant the others are shit too but damn dude

that's a fucking memepic if I have ever seen one

It work both ways. I played Far Cry 4 first and I just can't get into 3. Blood Dragon was good shit though

HIS NAME IS BUCK

>we could have had a decent Far Cry 5 by now if they hadn't picked the absolute worst choice off that list and then fucked it further by removing dinosaurs

Fuck Ubisoft, jesus christ

I'd have taken zombies over that garbage

bullshit. A generic guy would not be capable of even performing half the shit the MC did without some extensive training.

The story would have made much more since if the main character and his brother were switched. It's much more logical to play as the well trained military vet who wants to exact revenge for his defenseless civilian brothers death.

Any sense of reality flew right out the fucking window as soon as I realized this guy who's taking on armies of pirates, tribals and vicious tigers is a 20 something trust fund babby college student who's never even picked up a gun before.
And why the fuck was some random white guy from an american city destined to be "the chosen one" of an entire island of people with the magical tribal tattoos of bullshit?

AND HE LIKES TO FUCK

What's wrong with her tits

who woundn't want to join John Cena?

The entire map looks the same except the very small 1/5th maybe where the leaves are all red.

Where the fuck was my snowy areas contingent with the regular map and not that other bullshit

>almost every idea is massively better than what we actually got
>we could have had a goodamn vietnam game, vampire hunting, or a full fledged Blood Dragon sequel, but instead we get a reskinned Far Cry 4 with Dinosaurs

I haven't played any far cries, do you need uplay for any of them? I tend to avoid ubis but they look fun to dick around in

Yes

>NO VEIT FUCKING NAM FARCRY
WHHHYYY

>Vampire Vietnam
Eh Blood+ wasn't that good an anime.

>nulara not attractive nor made by western devs
kys

She's not

Does theme really matter when they make every game feel exactly the same?

While Far Cry 4 vs Primal has a very different setting and theme it behaves like the same type of game through and through. I can't exactly explain it but it's deeply unsatisfying for me at least.

>Vietnam Far Cry
>It Ain't Me starts playing through the intro

You know this would happen

I want a tie-in for Jurassic World 2.

>Song deeply rooted with the Vietnam theme
>People now hate it when it starts playing

Just float with it, it's inevitable.

Fuck, I think I'm in love and she's not even real.

>Vampires
>Vietnam
>cocaine trafficking

Most of those would be way better as new IP. You would ruin it by having to shoehorn it into Far Cry mechanics.

>vietnam
>climb medium tree to unlock the map

Not that user, but I feel the same way.
Ubisoft keeps adding licensed music into their games, and I'm just not about that. It ain't me.
IT AIIINN'T MEEEEE. I AIN'T NO SENATOR'S SON.

Making anything but Blood Dragon 2 was the wrong move.

Blood dragon was funny at parts but they took it too far as well.

Gameplay wise it was not great and does not seem like they thought about it for more than 5 minutes.

People give Primal a lot of shit but it was a fucking Far Cry set during the fucking stone-age.

It was a test and the mere fact they had the balls to do it is worthy of praise.

The same goes with how Siege and Division was shit but are both good games after actually listening to people bitching.

>we could have had Vietnam or Western Far Cry
Wtf i hate ubisoft now

I replayed FC3 early last year and then picked up and beat FC4 over the Winter.

The way I see it:
>Far Cry 4 was quite literally just more of the same, but with a higher degree of polish for the most part. The gameplay loop was the same, the openworld structure was largely the same, the character progression and gunplay was very similar, etc.
This means its quite possible to that you simply were looking for more than it offered.
>Far Cry 3 had a more visually interesting setting, even if the fidelity of it was overall lower. FC4 does give you a bit of the commando-innawoods feel with its outdoorsy mountainous locale, but its just not the same as rushing about a small cluster of tropical islands popping in and out of the sparse jungle to have frantic firefights with pirates.
Some prefer the former, others the latter.
>The storyline was much more serious overall, and - lets be real - you're on Sup Forums. The feminist, marxist, and anti-colonial elements (even if most were later subverted) quite possibly rubbed you the wrong way in a political sense, as opposed to FC3's more universal story of a rich dudebro realising he really fucking loves killing and the rather poorly done meta-commentary which is easy to ignore.
So yeah, that the structure, setting, and story which could all cause issues.

Personally I think I preferred everything in it aside from the side-characters, setting, and lack of interesting setpieces in comparison to FC3. The fact it largely felt like it was just reiterating on ideas from it but without the campy humour (e.g. burning the opium fields in 4 vs burning the weed fields in 3) also kinda sucked if I'm being honest.

Also, these games really fucking need a proper radio system ala GTA. The few hints of Indian/Pakistani/Nepalese music you get in 4 are all great and if there were more mixed in with some classic western pop and rock songs like the soundtrack used it'd make for great driving music.

There was obviously a supernatural element to the story.
>get glowing magic tattoos
>main character slips into peyote coma and goes on bloody rampages, including massacring a room of armed soldiers with his bare hands

>going back home to live the rest of your life as a schnook, eating noodles with ketchup

I'd choose the life and death of Colonel Kurtz any day of the week, twice on Sunday

Honestly while I admire Ubisoft for how ballsy they're being lately with what games they release and how hard they're trying to pivot away from being the Second Great Satan of Gaming I am sorta pissed Primal was a full-game instead of an expac and we're likely not seeing another Far Cry until 2018/9 now.

But yeah everyone post what you'd love to see in a new Far Cry game for the setting.

>Post-apocalyptic Mad Max Fury Road style setting but with more cobbled together gunbortions made out of like six different firearms and with a lot of customisation. Also, shitloads of races and arena style events - plus maybe ride customisation.
>Literally just Jurassic Park. Small resort island, bunch of dinosaurs escape during a terror attack to try kidnap the scientists and steal their valuable research, and now you gotta resecure the various towns and visitor centres while hunting down the bastards responsible and avoiding getting chomped.
>Korean War or possibly a return to Africa of some sort.

I know that feel bro

Dude Mad Max game is already a collectathon like Far Cry but with cars instead of guns and Bamham instead of sneaking

Yeah but Bamham combat is fucking trash and I really like shooting shit.

Really though it could have still been my GOTY if it went the extra step and ripped off Shadow of Mordor for the Nemesis system

Considering they both are WB games it's weird they didn't do just that

They really need to realize the potential of the map creation system and update all of that firstly. Like the mission and multiplayer map creation would be great if they had assets not from the main game, get character and scenery up to timesplitters levels.

>both love interests are negresses

I was entirely disappointed when the blonde haired, blue eyed girl you saved first wasn't the love interest.

Nigga that girl white as snow.

>brown hair
>brown eyes
>white

Nice try, anglo.

oh that song is from the trolls movie.

It definitely isn't niggress tier anywho

The nemesis just seems hard to put into other games. It worked in Shadows of Mordor because of how you can't really die.

>No spaghetti western Far Cry

Now all I know is sadness.

+1

I literally couldn't put FC3 down.

Made it to the (assuming first) Shangri-La part of 4 and never touched it again.

I blame the locale (less varied and harder to navigate) and a generally less-interesting plot and cast.

Far Cry 2
>perfect, aside from repetitive nature and lack of color saturation

Far Cry 3
>obnoxious from beginning to end, unlikable characters

Far Cry 4
>pretty fun, unlikable faction leaders, obnoxious libtard radio dj

When will we get a new and improved Far Cry 2? I want to go back to tearing shit up in Africa minus all the cookie cutter shit modern Ubisoft makes in all of their games. I have an ember of hope because Ubisoft is releasing For Honor which not only looks fun, but is unique and not their typical "climb towers to unlock shit and HUUUUR CHECK OUT OUR TRENDY CULTURAL MARXIST SOCIAL COMMENTARY!"

Shangri La is cliche and required for anything to do with Asia in games. I knew to expect it, but it bored the crap out of me too. It infuriated me because I ran into a bug where completing the second Shangri La mission caused my game to crash before autosaving back in the normal game world. I got around it by completing some side quests before going back to that second mission.

>spaghetti western Far Cry
WHY?! WHY GOD WHY DID THEY NOT DO THIS?!!!

NOOOOOOOO

Gotcha, but to clarify, Shangri-La isn't what made me drop it. That first mission is just around the point I lost all interest.

This thread made me go back and watch all of the Vaas cutscenes on Youtube, after which I decided to watch all of the Minh ones.

I realized I only made it to one - the intro/palace. If I did see the second one (or more), I certainly don't remember it, which has got to say something.

Far Cry 4 is fun for having the most overpowered gun I've ever seen in a vidya
>accurate as a sniper rifle
>amazing rate of fire
>doesn't slow you down too much
>blows up vehicles in a second
>insane dmg
>lots of ammo
>not too long reaload

That thing was so much fun, dirty, cheating fun

>he didn't like vaas
fag

>yfw longinus in fc 4 is kouassi prosper from fc 2 after having survived assassination by main character, finding God, and traveling to collect all the conflict diamonds he spread around the world

And he's such a dick in 2 that I would always assassinate him at Goka Falls with a handgun shot to the head.
