Far Cry: New Dawn

This is definitely not FC6 anyway. It's more like the primal release a few years ago. Likely didn't take effort to release and it's more like an expansion for FC5 hence they're not charging full price.

Zero-Cool · 14-02-2019 4:15pm

Kind of what I expected, will wait for sale.

Its more Far Cry with less story bollix.

Its out on PC if you live in NZ.

Dcully · 14-02-2019 6:54pm

I watched that ACG review, first thing that struck me is he was running the game with damage numbers off.
Seems crazy as its one of the new features and really immersive for an rpg game, this is touted as rpg light so i dont get why he done so.

Should make a Far Cry where your character is an animal. They could call it Primal.

Do you not find it really slow starting when you get into a vehicle? it takes ages too speed up and get going?

They could go a bit quicker, but it isin't a real huge issue for me.

I'm enjoying the game. Night skies are beautiful.

Lone Stone · 17-02-2019 7:37pm

I can't finish the rye mission because the plane is too slow

1 - do you have an elite controller who's buttons sensitivity can be adjusted? This can cause slow driving in games.

2 - are you on PS4? Try changing the drive button from R2 to R1, any difference?

Friends playing this on PC are raving about the expeditions at endgame after you complete the average campaign.
Yer man mac from worth a buy saying the same thing, its all about expeditions it seems.

nah no way, it's good but not a full price game if your on pc you can get it for like 23-26 euro over at cd keys

dreamers75 · 20-02-2019 5:49pm

No not worth 50 but if you have a like minded buddy, its well worth 25 for coop fun.

The expeditions(Hard standalone Coop missions) are brilliant but there needs to be more of them a lot more of them, if more came i would think its worth it.

Also if you playing your buddies game and its the hostage mission, shoot the hostage

I'm really interested in it, looks a lot more fun than FC 5. I have Trials Rising 2 in the next couple of weeks and then Division 2 after that so I'm good for the time being, will wait for a sale on this. I was reading about their expeditions yesterday. 1x1 km maps outside the main map to do missions. One they spoke about was they Alcatraz. They recreated the prison island and then put their own take on what it would look like after a nuclear explosion. They said expeditions like this will be in locations across the world giving players a different taste than Hope County. Sounds like a nice touch.

Alcatraz. Last time I went there was in Watch_Dogs 2.

Anyway, I did two expiditions so far. One was in Florida and the other in Arizona. I was on top form for the Florida one, not so good on the Arizona one.

that was a really really short story for a far cry game. But i enjoyed it felt more like a story dlc for the last game.

that's pretty funny, what do you have to do for the trophy?Playing a lot of battlefield v at the moment so getting killed by enemies I haven't seen has me very au fait with the rage quit mechanics. stomping down the stairs yelling f**k is not a good look for me

Press r3 and you go into a kinda anger mode and you have too punch 10 fella's before the bar runs out, it runs out too fast and there are not enough enemies around.

I had the same before. Just got it now after upgrading fist damage and Eden's Touch ten times each. Was really easy on Level 3 Signal Hill then.

Speaking of trophies, anyone that could help me boost the Co-op trophy?

15-30 hours according to the internet, but that's probably not a bad thing. Couldn't finish 4 or 5.

That's a fine length, 4 and 5 were way too long. Never finished 4 and 5 became a slog by the last 3rd. Cool, might give this a go then.

Sephiroth_dude · 18-07-2019 3:35pm

Could be completed is 10-15 hours I'd say.

Traded in AC Odyssey and got this, very happy with my choice. Only early on but loving the stealthing, treasure hunting, base fixing and quad biking. Mad to get stuck into more.

The prepper stashes are oddly the best part of the game.

Capturing and releasing the bases and the repeatable excursions give the game a bit more length. Worth getting the bases to level 3 for the materials you get.

Aw boo, especially as I came across a red bike and sidecar in the world and it looks like now i'm stuck with the rusty form anytime I spawn it, not cool Ubi. Other than that, loving it. I got a free gold double barrel sawn off from the ubi store that I've been wrecking people with and I never use a sawn off in shooters.

I have a question about upgrading versus crafting for anyone that knows:
Does upgrading simply add damage to the weapon? Or does it also change the tier? So for instance could I upgrade an epic (purple) into a master (gold) weapon?

It adds damage you can keep upgrading after the highest tier. As long as you have the mats.

But tbh once you reach a certain part and acquire a certain item, you wont bother with most weapons.

Really loving the game. Even the enemy spawning which initially irritated me has become more than welcome because enemies are target practice for the various weapon challenges. I did find myself crafting weapons lower than I could just for the sake of completing those challenges though but still have most of my weapons at master tier at least. I prefer Far Cry 5 only marginally simply because I think the story presentation in that game was better whereas New Dawn is more about gameplay. It's actually kind of sad looking at ruins that used to be thriving locations. It speaks to how well crafted the world of Hope County was that I remembered many of the locations from the photograph side mission.

btw also got the infamous Anger Management trophy and it's every bit as annoying as people say it is. Why is takedown, melee and eden wrath all on R3? Clearly, that's not a smart idea for obvious reasons. In the end I did it on a low level expedition mission where I made myself get caught and waited for the A.I. to spawn and gather together. It was so awkward and contrived.

Worse.trophy.EVER!
