Big problem with the new Far Cry games, the tagging makes combat way too easy, HUD is too cluttered.

You do know you can shut off most if not all of the HUD in the options/interface menu? Granted the Ubi default HUD has a tremendous amount of "fruit salad" (colorful glowing ****) in it, but credit to 'em for letting us turn it off!
Indeed. Very baffled by the OP.
I've always bemoaned Ubi for forcing HUD on players, especially the interactive prompts, but with Primal they finally started to show signs of listening, and thankfully went the whole hog with FC5 and allowed the disabling of everything (practically)
No HUD should be default with the stupid non-realistic options of seeing enemies through buildings as an option to switch on for the hard of playing people.
I watched the video. ......actually skimmed through it since I couldn't handle anymore of the profanity laced rant but I'm still wondering, what's your point? Most of this stuff you're talking about can be disabled. I don't care for a lot of the hand holding features but that's why I turn them off. It was the same deal in GRW where (thankfully) you also had the ability to choose what you wanted displayed on the HUD.
Personally, I don;t mind such features being included in a game as long as I have the ability to turn them off. Some folks like them, I don't. ......simple as that (no rant required).
I do hope he returns to reply, because I'd really like to know too.
Not watched video, but if he's talking about FC5 only then I don't get it. If he's referring to previous FC games then I'm with him all the way, because there was a ****load you couldn't turn off in all the other FC games.
First, I used normal level with HUD to get acquainted with the game more or less. And the game seemed too easy. Than I switched off all HUD and changed the game to hard level. And now.....I swear - There is no problem with difficulty at all!:D There is another problem - how not to die! Enemies everywhere now...... roads are teeming with enemies. Safer to move along the roadside...but bears and wolves are waiting for you there. Enemies are more dangerous in the forest thickets. It's rather difficult to see them in the bushes or behind the foliage. And thank god, they are not in camouflage! Two bullets....and I see my falling body from above!
It should be toned down by default because people don't even realize how much their experience is dumbed down by these defaults. My point on AI is a big one, the AI seems dumb when everything is telegraphed and are unable to hide or flank.
If some profantiy gets you clutching your pearls I suggest you go back to your Convent and abandon us sinners.
We are talking about some features that are hacks for other games, and you don't think this dumbs things down?
