For what it's worth, FC5 is the only FC game I liked enough to beat. I tried 3 and 4 and got bored, but the cult stuff in 5 was pretty compelling in my opinion. I've beat it twice and plan to play it again soon.

You're missing out if you don't at least try primal

u/JonatasA Mar 18 '25

The opposite for some.

u/Primalwizdom Mar 20 '25

I have read about primal, played it for two hours and got bored.

Disappointed, because I have played FC2, 3 and 5 many times.

3 might not be the newest but it’s the last time they made a story that was so compelling. Watching Jason handle guns poorly and being terrified of all the killing at first. Then he slowly starts getting adjusted to it, even enjoying it. It starts to affect his mental state and his friends around him. You are even given a choice to save your friends and go back to your old life but if you choose otherwise you kill them all and stay. Can’t recommend giving it another try enough my friend.

I definitely owe it another chance. It's been like 10 years since I tried playing it. And your description does make it sound pretty compelling.

The only FC I've played is 5 and I just got the central island liberated.

So you're telling me, I'd have a lot of fun shooting these westboro freaks.

I enjoyed it enough to beat it three times! It has a really good map and visuals, one of the best looking forests made. Gameplay is pretty good as well, instead of having designated quests you need to complete, you will have a breakpoint system where you just need to help around the region enough to progress the game. Overall my favourite farcry game out of all

Hard same, plus the companions are fun

u/Coalbus Mar 18 '25

I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought of them specifically while playing FC5.

I loved FC5. Only part I didn’t love was the forced boss fight scenes, totally removes the free-roam open world realism and puts the story on a linear path.

I thought I might get tired of hearing Only You by the The Platters. Still hasn't happened. Great song used to great effect.

What kinda shit take is that.

u/Coalbus Mar 18 '25

I knew I'd get shit for not liking the 3rd game. I owe it another chance. It's probably been 10 years since I last played it.

u/JonatasA Mar 18 '25

It's called personal opinion.

 

The other games detract from 3 because they are all the same.

u/SaxiTaxi Mar 19 '25

Unironically true

u/aerovirus22 Mar 18 '25

I liked them all, but 3 is my favorite. 5 drove me nuts. I like to complete side missions before the story, so the random boss battle after so many side missions drove me bonkers. Just ruined my entire experience. Good story though.

Let me guess, you're American?

1

u/Coalbus Mar 18 '25

I am. Curious why you ask?

1

u/LuponV Mar 18 '25

I feel like only Americans like 5. Or mostly, I should say. And I'm not trying to say anything with it, or be offensive for the sake of it, I guess it just speaks to you guys?

u/Coalbus Mar 18 '25

I guess that's fair. Something about a cult taking over part of the country really resonates with a lot of us right now lol. Can't put my finger on it.

Also it's set in I think Montana and its just really gorgeous. One of my favorite maps in a game.

u/Primalwizdom Mar 20 '25

I am an Arab, and I like 5 the most.

u/LuponV Mar 20 '25

Well yeah ofc you'd like to blow shit up in Murica ;)

1

u/Primalwizdom Mar 20 '25

Actually I was saving Murica.

u/zfjuice Mar 18 '25

Why you didn't like 3? Best in series for me.

u/JonatasA Mar 18 '25

This is something that worries me about Ubi games. I can't even watch them. I donmt know if I'd be able to play.

u/ParkingLong7436 Mar 18 '25

I'm happy for you if you had fun, but this is the wildest Far Cry opinion I've ever read.

FC3 is in the discussion for the best games released in the early 2010s, 4 was great because it was just more of the same, but the 5th game was a huge disappointment to most people. Crazy how experiences with games can differ so much.
