I have hated the all Far Crys since 2. 3 and 4 subsequent aweful cut scenes with changed controls were rubbish. They were shot em ups for children where you didn't have to make any effort or thought. I still go back and play a different character in a different decision tree even now when I get sick of everything else. Dumbed down for consoles and gutless video consoles.

You can pretty well avoid too much intrusion of malaria by making sure you get medicine early as possible. Never put it off. You get a heap of chances for diamonds and to increase your reputation when you go to get the medicine.

BTW you don't EVER have to have a jammed weapon. You return to a gunshop and swap your weapon after or before every mission. Never get a jam.

I don't like that I can't decide to be the hero who blows himself up at the end for a change of ending.

3 and 4 could have been pretty good but the stupid animals that should be attcking each other attack you as first choice . A cassorwary and a wild dog will attack each other well before they will attack a human. And the cut scenes with stopped me bothering to continue. The much more closed worlds also got to me compared to FC2. Never finished 3 and got to almost the end of 4 and chucked it.

I loved the FC2 weapons progression and the fact that you could partially engineer which weapons you developed to.

Graphic wise FC2 was good but full of bugs ( like the guy that shoots you from inside the big rock) but 3 and 4 were as well. And the fact that enemies could see you when it was impossible in all of them was a pain. FC4 flying machine that had random ceilings depending on where they didn't want you to go, and the BS flying suit...

Primal should not have been a Far Cry. Stone age weapons...no thanks...

I liked original Far Cry (one) but had so many bugs that never could finish it. I wanted to but was unable to stop it looping near the end.

FC5 has a story line that doesn't appeal to me. I may still give it a go, seeing there is less and less single player games and online isn't a viable option for me ( BF1 and World of Tanks and Sniper 3 are unplayable with 15M download and 20-50k upload speeds.)

But of all the games I have played for years, FC2 is still the on I go back to. A FC2 revisited with upgraded graphics ( it is a dx9 game that will so of run 10), keep the games memory and cpu hungry AI and improve it, keep the single player AND the local own server option that allows more players ( best own server game ever played both coop and individual), Keep all the original prarmeters and add amybe a few weapons, improve the silenced weapon hit power ( silenced weapons are usually more potent not less), And give the enemy a bit more dialogue and you will have a whole new generation of converts.
