What are they doing? Like actually, what goes on in the studio when they make these games? I'm seeing re-used animations and likely some assets, which is good! Fromsoft does this for their souls games, it helps save time and energy instead of recreating something that already exists so they can focus on improving THE GAME, recycling useful stuff. So how is the rest of the game THIS ASS.

NONE of the characters are interesting, I don't feel an ounce of care or empathy for any of them, I actually feel like a seriel killer with how empathetic they make you feel. I rather a silent protag then the un-interesting vanilla paste of;...whatever tf we have now, jesus. There is no hook for the story or a specific character at the very least, no wonder you hear nothing about this game.

The guns remind of Starfield and what bethesda did to their games, They're Pea-shooters at times (The bolt action you get at the start of the game, only takes off a third of the health of a COMMON GRUNT) and it has no long range scope. They added a health bar and hitmarkers and it just feels so....boring, uninteresting, even more Arcady then before. AND THE CHARMS, this is a single player game and they're actually trying to shill cosmetics this bad, not to mention how terrible they look.

Speaking of cosmetics, the images in the stores for these bundles are AI GENERATED, you can't convince me other wise. There's a bundle with a buggy on the beach, just look at it and you'll see how bad it is.

The gameplay is about as Ubisoft as it gets, nothing has changed, they haven't innovated, they've hardly tried something new; "Look guys we removed skills haha and did gadgets, look how different it is" why not just add the gadges AND keep skills so we have a mix of both because as far as innovation goes THATS IT, off rip you're given all 4 weapon slots and now the enemies don't drop guns????? with this goofy chest looting mechanic. and don't get me started on the weapon customisation, my god.

I LOVE open world outpost clearing games, but they do nothing unique with it. There are so many cool ideas, tools, gadgets, locations, everything but nope, it's the same as it's always been the past 8 or so games but just more and more and more WATERED DOWN.

Only thing I was interested in when I saw this game was the tank and a bigger helicopter, the idea that the faction and enemies you fight would have some kind of variety and additions had me excited at the very least. Like imagine being able to grapple onto the aircraft, Skyjack it or fight for control, maybe hijack a tank and rampage...But so far? I'm just feeling bored and tired of this generic ubi-slop

P.s. No map editor? They really did nothing when making this, I feel bad for the devs and hard workers who were told to do this bare-minimum and likely got laid off for it while the brainded exec suit who barked the orders to do so can jump ships to a nice comfy job in another company they can screw over.

GIVE ME THE REINS AND I'LL MAKE A GOOD FAR CRY GAME

I can't recommend. It's so boring..

edit. if the devs are looking at this.

The environment artists did a good job. It needs an update on the AA part, needs native fsr or dlaa support and new dlss and fsr. But the AI is so bad. I'm on a boat this enemy drives a boat straight into me I go onto their boat they just then "spot" me, she goes out of the drivers seat, jumps into the sea and drowns herself. It is not a fun experience when AI is so bad.
Also story doesn't make much sense. It doesn't feel good and cool like in other far cry games.
Doesn't feel like a far cry game. Everything feels forced and soulless...
