I cannot believe Ubisoft is reusing all returning weapons for Far Cry 6 again..
Hello Everyone,
I just quickly wanted to express my concerns towards the upcoming weapons in Far Cry 6 and future installments to the developers (again).
The reason I made this thread is to once again, kindly, remind everyone at Ubisoft that we are tired of seeing recycled/returning weapons/gun models from previous entries. We are very worried that Far Cry 6 and future games will have the same weapons/ gun models since prior games.
We would like to see more new weapons that we have not seen in Far Cry games before. For example, a complete fresh list of weapons replacing the old models. However, keeping the essentials like the AK47, 1911 and RPG are viable.
Since Far Cry 3, we have been repeatedly been given the same returning firearms over and over again. This is insanity and very annoying.
There is a ratio with new games that incorporate new and old weapons. This is Usually at 20% returning and 80% new firearms. It varies from game to game. But new weapons are between 60-80%.
The Far Cry games have 15-20% new weapons with every new game. This not enough!
What exactly is meant by this?
Example: Far Cry 3 to Far Cry 4. Every single firearm from FC3 was put into FC4. FC3 had a total of 30 weapons. FC4 had a total of 42. 12 being new additions.
Similar situation with Far Cry 5 weapons, however, we got fewer new additions in comparison to Far Cry 4. Instead, we got more versions of the same firearms. 3 different lengths of the M133 shotgun (which has been in 5 games already). 2 different lengths of the ARC. You get my point.
Day Hay, stated back in 2018 that Far Cry 5 has the most amount of weapons than any previous Far Cry game. This is true and false.
Yes, it has the most amount of weapons. The only problem about that statement is the fact that you have 3 different variations of the same gun. Essentially, copy and paste, done very bad.
Seriously, how stupid do the developers think we are not to notice? This is very cheap.
Let me give you another simple example;
We had the MP5 for the past three main games. It’s milked to death by now. We have seen it enough. Please replace it with something new, like the UMP45 or the P90 (yes it was in Far Cry 1 but that was ages ago).
The same thing with the M133 shotgun. I simply cannot see this thing anymore. Can you replace it with something like the 1897 trench gun? Ithaca 37? Or the Benelli Supernova? There are enough pump action shotguns to choose from. Please!
It is okay to keep essentials and favorites from the series. I mentioned this earlier. An AK47, 1911 and RPG are not a problem. There just shouldn’t be too many returning weapons. The ratio is very crucial with more new and less old.
Our voices are not being heard from anyone at Ubisoft.
Like I said earlier, many people have complained about this matter a lot. Without any success
Please excuse the rant, I‘m a very passionate Far Cry Fan. It’s one of my favorite game franchises. Therefore, I felt obligated to share my thoughts and help this franchise I care for very much. However, I don’t believe Ubisoft will listen to us again.
Stay safe and healthy everyone.
