For people with different taste I can understand ranking 2 higher though, but it needs modding because vanilla is maximum cancer with the instant respawning outposts and whatnot
2 = 5 > 4 > primal > 3 > 1 > blood dragon > new dawn > 6. Not played instincts.

Developers don’t have the balls anymore. A mercenary game set in Africa with branching storylines and quests mixed with whacky and ambitious mechanics ala Boiling Point would be turbokino.

I don't enjoy many Ubisoft games but there's something about Far Cry 5 I love. The atmosphere, the music, the cast, it's great. I've played through it four or five times.

You mean a score set by people who play cod during the peak of its popularity and didn't like when other games didn't play the same.
1>2>6>Primal>4>3>New Dawn>5>Blood Dragon
In 6 they really put every good aspect from before together nicely, map and missions has tons of variety, making builds/loadouts is meaningful rather than being overpowered, antagonist, world building and setting finally makes sense from the player/revolution pov. Great thematic commentary about zoomers, millenials and boomers. Highly underrated
1, 2 and Primal are different from the bunch but very robust, have great maps and great fights.
5 is great (kinda) but the phasing is absolutely terrible.

Jesus Christ, these visions and hallucinations got insanely boring after Faith's region. John's region was the best because there were no hallucinations, no drugging, John was right there in front of you and chasing him on the plane was fun.

I like how in 2 as the game progresses the enemies get more and more terrified of you by reputation alone. Their chatter changes from stuff like "you don't stand a chance!" to comments like "he's coming for us! get to cover!" with a panicked voice.

FC2 gets better the higher the difficulty. You can't just go balls out yolo and instead have to use the stealth system to separate enemies from each other and eliminate them one-by-one.
Also mods that give npcs more diverse weapons becomes terrifying when some dude jumps out of a bush and runs at you with a flamethrower.

wasn't stealth super broken in fc2? You could shoot a mortar into an outpost (super based btw, I fucking LOVE mortars in games) and all the niggers would instantly lock on you. I'm not sure if mods fix that or not

No, the stealth works - it just that enemies have a fairly realistic sight and sound range. If you break line of sight with them and move around they spread out to find you, not magically converge on a moving target. What people expect stealth to be is invisibility mode even when firing loud guns, which is what it was changed to in 3. If you stand still and take repeated shots no shit someone is going to home in on your position.
The stealth suit upgrade does reduce enemy vision but its not a night and day effect.

I'm almost certain enemies had magic awareness when I played vanilla and I hated it, basically I could understand a sniper rifle, even if silened (I don't remember if you could do silenced sniper rifles) would still be audible enough for enemies to have an idea of where you are, but I'm pretty certain I would just thump a mortar round and I'd start getting shot at from half a mile away.
Either way I'm almost sure the issue was gone when I replayed it with mods, or at least it was powerful cope+placebo.

Do yourself a favour and turn of the excessive Hud elements, radar, enemy icons etc. (HEY! Stop looking at the map again!) Get some varied weapons, and go raise a guerrilla war in the jungle. Yes, the story is fine on its own but the real gist is finding locations, loot and trying to raise odds for survival and fighting a war without the game holding your hand.
Open world isn't really open if you're being constantly spoon-fed and lead on like a donkey.

This is a problem with every Far Cry from 3 onwards though. The games aren't designed to be HUDless diagetic ludo like FC2 is, you don't have the tools to not get loss if you disable the minimap, radar, enemy icons, etc and the games aren't balanced around being played like that either. Only FC2 really is, that's why it's so fun.

I mean burning weed to dubstep is a genuine improvement and any game that lacks it will be worse than the one that has it

The game just couldn't fucking chill. Changing most of the games bad design decisions for FC3 is what made the series a hit.

gun jams are a non issue desu
you always have enough ammo with your bought guns to not really deal with that shit
same with malaria, it's just an once every two hours kind of thing
>jeep runs you over
be stealthy
>animal attack
welcome to the jungle
the game is both chill and it's not. it just tries its best to not turn into another drive into le quest marker and do the goody thing:D:D game

FC2 is a soul test. The people who don't see it as a deeply religious experience that could only be enhanced with some modern takes (better gunplay and a more realistic driving model, mostly, also certain things like a sleep/hunger/thirst meter with more illnesses than malaria to deal with) are doomed to be NPCs forever.

That's green hell not far cry. This isn't survival sim slop it's an action game about exploring your moral compass.

You can tell someone is shit at videogames because they got filtered by farcry 2, probably on normal difficulty, and say it's shit. Meanwhile I beat it on Infamous redux and think it's the best in the series.

NPCs with shotguns are so fucking dangerous on hardcore or infamous. The game playing shotguns straight (as in, they have actual range) unsurprisingly makes them incredibly lethal.

did not play primal or the xbox spin-offs but that's what i believe
5 sucks but it works, 2 is kind of shit but 1 is genuinely terrible (HL2 and DOOM 3 mog it when it comes to first person tech demos that aged terribly)

Can I just say that Far Cry 4 had a perfect gameplay but godawful story and characters? Pagan Min is the only cool character:
>Yuma
Had potential but ultimately just was Aguirre in Nepal (also not enough screentime)
>LePleur was basically
MUH DAUGHTER, literally the whole character. I kid you not 90% of his lines were about his daughter
>Noor
Couldn't care less about her
>Amita and Sabal
Oh my God both of them suck cock. Sabal is an insecure pedo boomer, Amita is a junkie libcuck and both of them openly become new dictators if you support either of them, Ajay being a wet napkin of a protag without own opinion doesn't help. I would unironically side with Pagan Min if I had the chance (I don't mean the secret ending, I mean play for his faction)
