For a moment I thought you were going to reference Far Cry 2 or STALKER. Now those games are truly boring.

Far cry 5 took stale far cry formula and put it into most boring and bland setting that is unfun to explore.

Far cry 2 was immersive game compare to it.

@ghosts4ever: You're not from the US, I love Montana yet never been. Better than Far Cry 4's setting by far.

Its not the worst. Every Ass Creed IS the most boring of this generation (with the newest ghost recon). At least FC5 has a nice setting and reasonably good villain going for it.

Far Cry 2 flopped hard. The same cannot be said about Far Cry 5. Far Cry 2 was painfully boring and that boredom was shared by many gamers, thus the reason it flopped. Your taste in gaming is simply not shared by the masses no matter how often your spam it.

While FC5 was okayish I'd stick to New Dawn cause that expansion was so much fun, it puts FC5 to shame. But hey, free is free, so you shouldn't be complaining in the matter of speaking.

All Ubi open world games have been boring since AC1, but i have to say they are getting better: no more towers, less checklist side stuff, etc. FC5 and the last 2 AC games actually have a more organic exploration system, which for me is an improvement.

One of the best shooters this gen ( not saying much though) so would definitely recommend everyone to give it a spin!

its saying much because Doom and Doom Eternal are 2 of among the greatest FPS of all time.

Far Cry 5 on other hand is pretty bad.

Towers were replaced by a hawk/any other bird/drone.

Far Cry 5 was OK. I enjoyed the setting, was like going to visit an unknown part of the world. The ending was super cool.

Could have been much better if it wasn't the same old Unisoft formula and if it had something to say considering the setting. Unfortunately we are in an age where snowflakes left and right get offended by everything and everything has to be as bland and spineless as possible.

To me, New Dawn feels like a totally new game and it is much much better than FC5, the PC settings are improve, the game itself feels like its Borderlands for its cute bright colors in the grass, buildings, and guns. The story was so much better. It had interesting characters with actual personal motivations that were integrated into one big story instead of 3 small boring ones. The mission structures, every mission including the side quests felt unique. I don't remember once doing the same objective twice in FC5.

New Dawn felt like the classic FC3 experience. Linear missions, each with a great cutscene. As far as villains goes, FC5 villains were a hell of a lot more developed and interesting, the Twins were just full of cliches but still okay to say the least.

Edit: I only paid half price for it from CDKey at the time and never full price. I think it's still on sale if you want to try it out for yourself. It was $40 at the time of release.

It probably will seem boring if you've played the previous titles. I played the free weekend, got my fill of a couple hours of the whole Far Cry open world outpost attack thing and then uninstalled

Mad Max, Just Cause 3, Farcry 4, NFS Payback, Dragon Age Inquisition.

There's some of the ones I have played this generation that were too boring for me to complete.

Far Cry 3 is probably the worst example of their checklist formula, not to mention that it ran at 20fps on consoles, with pop in and screen tearing everywhere.....curiously people loved that game!

4 is the first and only Far Cry I've played. I like it just fine. It does suffer from open-world-itis, but I think if you aren't a Far Cry junky for whom this is your 53rd game it's perfectly fine and not nearly so stale. Cool setting, and I like the emergent gameplay with the wildlife. I'm sure similar can be said for 5

I was actually OK with the....I don't know, social representation? in the game. Whatever you want to call it.

When I heard it was taking place in Montana, I was like "Oh boy, a French company is going to depict rednecks. This is going to be interesting" but I thought they did a good job. They showed a lot of patriotic Americans--not nationalists, not Trump voters--and depicted that region of the country well. Game hunting, fishing, outdoorsmanship, and all that stuff.

I get really alienated by SJW's and social commentary and I was not alienated at all by FC 5

The difference is a game not made with gameplay being the core focus but focused on trivial shit that could not make up for the shitiness of the game. 😎

gameplay in far cry 3 to onwards,

tag enemies, see through walls, arrow show where enemies are.

in Far cry 2, your weapon jam that give you challenge and immersion, you have map on hand and dont tag enemies there and they can hide behind bushes. far cry 3 is casual dumbed down game and then it got copy and paste till far cry 5.

far cry 2 also never interrupt for cutscene and never have QTE elements there. neither painfully unskipabble long cutscene.

Interesting. In my opinion, nothing has changed, they even wen't full ******* with Ghost Recon Breakpoint, and that's one of their recent open world games. This company doesn't get it at all.

I'm currently playing days gone and I'm not enjoying it so far. I will give it a couple of more hours before making a proper judgement as I'm only like 5 hours in.

We went from Far Cry 2 and 5 to Far Cry 3. Last I checked the conversation was about Far Cry 5 and 2. I can't even recall Far Cry 3. Far Cry 2 failed. All of this immersion that you speak of, didn't impress gamers enough to make it not a flop. The game was forgotten, except for folks like you who believe it was a great game.

And yeah Far Cry V felt pretty devided when it had three locations with three different family members. These games feel padded out sometimes.

Some of you people should just stick to linear crap. You seem to not like open world games and spent an inordinate amount of time whinging about them even though they are very popular.

RDR2 has one of the deepest worlds in gaming. The level of interaction is bar none.

If you call the gameplay boring, that's your call.

But the world itself? Hell nawh

of course if you prefer easy games where you tag enemies.

STALKER is real FPS that neither interrupt you and also exploring zone never being tedious or boring like one in Far cry.

Thats the difference between Ghost games and other games. Ghost games are very hardcore and challenging and never interrupt you for having cutscene after cutscene.

Totally this fully agree. RDR2 is a slow burn open-world game which in turn makes it the best western game around and because of it, the level interaction design is hell of a better then the typical Ubi open world were all used to. Comparing RDR2 to any FC games is an insult to RDR2.

Oh, I thought the post was about the Mafia series. Can't believe a studio is stupid enough to make a remake/remaster of a trash series
