I never actually played 4 or Primal but 4 is just 3 with a few extra bells and whistles and Primal is enough of its own thing to be its own thing. Farcry 3 is just Ubisoft Game: The Game.

Nah, it's got some decent bells and whistles.

4 is great.
The further into the game you get, the less fun it is. And the ending wasnt great

The forced capture segments and auto-completing missions were awful.

Far Cry 5 was fucking awful all around, though.

Bells and whistles don't mean crap when they force you into story missions every time you do something, and once you beat the game all enemies disappear.

4 is the best one IMO. 1 is the weakest, which is honestly to be expected

Far Cry 5 is actually made worse by the improvements they did make because it's in such a terrible map with terrible progression.

The gunplay is the best it has been. I feel like the companion system is great even if the companions themselves were annoying as fuck. I'd love to see that system in a Far Cry 2 remake with the mercenary buddies.

But then, the map is the most boring it has ever been. I also felt the planes, helicopter and weaponized vehicles took away from the game. The vehicles should be primarily for traversal, not combat.

5 is absolute ass. Game is completely broken and game progression is terribly handled. Whoever thought force locking you into progressing the story by randomly drugging you was a good idea is a dumbass

Far Cry 5 is the perfect example of some dipshit video game writer who takes his work too fucking seriously being given too much focus on the game.

The whole game is just weird as a whole and feels so disjointed and disconnected. The side missions are pretty goofy for the most part, all of the side characters and companions are goofy caricatures and stereotypes. Then you get to the main missions and it's got this somber, serious tone that just feels completely out of place with the rest of the game.

I'd almost think that there were two different development teams that had almost no contact with each other, except that the entire games progression is tied into forcing you into these horrible main missions so someone had the power to be like "this shit is most important"

I saw an interview with one of the writers (maybe the head writer?) and he said his inspiration for the story was him seeing someone holding a "the end is near" sign and thinking he might be right. Between that and the dumbass Trump pee tape mission it pretty much cements the game as being some TDS fueled clusterfuck.

Also the ending was the biggest piece of dogshit I've seen in a while. I still can't tell if it was just the main writer being a TDS afflicted moron or if it was simply meant to try and sell their shitty DLC-esque side game that they were clearly working on in tandem.

It sucks cause there's some real groundwork for some great gameplay, but the entire package goes out of it's way to make it damn near impossible to find.

It's certainly better than with 4 where you get drugged and two British t***s mess with your head and/or try to sell you into slavery

As opposed to the enemies disappearing while you're playing the game like Farcry 3?

3 is so friggin' overrated seriously. A lot of the side activities are either these weird out-of-place simulation exercises or two minute long side quests where you just get started and then it's over (like the plane crash one is burned into my fudging memory, as well as the one about the guy's wife cheating on him).

Every game is better than 3 in some way.

I enjoyed FC 4 most out of the 5. Didn't play Primal - No guns, no Far Cry.

I thought Primal was better than 5, and still manages to feel like a Far Cry IMO. Plus the whole beastmaster aspect of it is awesome

It's kinda like Saints Row 4 in that you really have to be in it for the stupid, otherwise it's not great

Yeah, the side quests were complete ass. Some of the most gamey stuff I've ever played and you just repeated the same four or five things for every outpost you liberated.

Being the first to copy things doesn't excuse it from copying. I've been saying for years it's just an FPS version of Assassin's Creed and people thought I was crazy until Farcry 4 and Watch Dogs came out and were also just reskinned Assassin's Creed.
