Far Cry 6

Fire away, will be a day one for me

I understood that reference /hands over $10

Most of the reviews are good, 8+ and so on. There are a few that complain that it's just another Far Cry game like they were surprised, like somehow they are still hoping for a totally new take on a proven formula just because they had enough of it ... to them I say if you want a game that's not built on the Far Cry formula then go and buy a game that is not the 6th installment in the Far Cry series (or 9-10th if we count the spinoffs).

It's like buying a ticket to Fast and Furious 9 and being affronted because there's too many car chases in it.

I wish you could just highlight what you want to quote.

I haven't looked into the game at all but the cockfighting caught my eye in your post just had a quick youtube and it kind of looks like a fun albeit shallow little mini game, the puns on old fighting videogames and how the cocks look is well played.

A big thumbs up from me to Ubisoft. I was supposed to get my physical copy of the game yesterday and it never arrived. Same situation today. So a short time ago, Ubisoft sent me an e-mail with a code for the full game. Very nice!

Just picked up a copy, will be playing it later. Had to trade in Scarlet Nexus as it had dropped from 40 to 30 trade in, and with the level 3 bonus I got the standard PS5 edition for 32. I couldn't get into 4 or 5, so I'm not expecting myself to love this, but at least I'll get more on trade in than I've paid for it so...

Well, it certainly is more Far Cry. Stunning location and I'm still only on the first island. Map looks huge. Acting is good. Picked male Dani and so far voice acting is pretty solid. Like the little bits like singing or whistling along to songs, but the music is starting to grate, hopefully more variations will be available once I'm on the main island.

To be honest, it's not doing anything new, but this feels the most solid so far. I'll stick with it for a while at least.

Why in the **** does the PS5 disk version need the 37gb HD Texture update? Surely that should have been on the disk?

So, it's the PS4 version with fancier graphics then. It's still not bad, played a small bit there before work and got to the main Island. It's so big....

I might enable that myself, as it is I have to be relatively near something for the little o to pop up above something I can loot, and even then I nearly need to be standing on top of the thing to pick it up, often having to crouch to pick stuff up off the ground. An auto pickup, like the ammo, would have been better. Crapped myself earlier when I learned that O turns your horse around 180, wasn't expecting it and thought I was being thrown off.

On the main Island but won't get to play it for a while again. It seems to have the right level of fun right now, something which I think a lot of people overlook in a game. It's still Far Cry, but it's possibly the most polished so far. Did a mission on the first Island where you burn tobacco plants. Not half as fun as the Kicking the Hornets Nest from 3, but at least Dani referenced it!

so annoying not being able pause cut scenes . herself start talking to me during them and i no way pausing the game or herself 😂

played a hour the opening tutorials in these games are fair annoying . after that i loved the story and world is beautiful . map seems massive . just feels more the same doesn't help me i only finished 5 about 3 weeks ago

Game keeps quitting to desktop randomly, very annoying.

Oh my god I want a paraplegic dachshund!

Fix for random CTD is download the HD texture pack, 0 crashes since I got that.

I found a big disparity between the in-game VRAM usage estimation and actual usage. At one point the game menu told me my options would use about 6.5GB and actual monitored usage was over 13GB (Afterburner OSD). I know some of that is caching but from everything I've seen on the description for this issue that matters. E.g. while the actual on-screen processing might just require that 6.5GB the engine stops trying to load the HD textures too quickly when they aren't pulled from cache and just leaves the low res versions. If that is the case then it's something they should be able to tweak, though with more noticable pop-in.

Coop is hilarious, in general you just go around the map fcuking **** up and furthering the hosts games.

In special ops you have to find an item, extract the item but also keep it from overheating (it will make sense) using water fountains around the map, enemies are much more aware and agressive in this mode. Mongoose took 2 of us out as I was cooling the item and he got me from behind. No vehicles in the 1st one of these Dino park.

Would recomend completing the Triada treasure hunts there are 3 and you get something cool from it. It starts on the starting island about 100m east of the base. Oluwa Cave.

Opening the scouting network gives you the wingsuit, this game tells you feck all about its systems.

Supremos dictate your throwing weapons C4, grenades knives etc:

I am using the supremo from the Triada cave along with the gun you get for obvious reasons ;)
