Okay so I spent all of maybe 40 seconds just looking through some of the General Topic posts and I see things like; Where Do I Find Rhinos? and Whats the main characters name? So I would like to start off by saying I am not one of these stupid *** trolls that are looking for attention. This is going to be a one time post for me and I have no intent what so ever of ever coming back and reading this. So if you, the reader wants to troll someone go some where else.
Everything Wrong In Farcry 4
(lets begin)
- Looks like a re-skin of Farcry 3 - Everything is pretty much the Exact Same thing! I mean seriously you guys couldn't bother to put in new guns? Like a UMP4 or UMP9 or an UZI or a P90 how about giving the p146 the name M4A1 and slap a under-barrel on it with a 203gp round on it. You guys at UbiSoft must not have put any thought into this game at all and just reused 80% of the same exact code you used in FarCry3. For god sakes man you still have the same sniper rifle from Farcry 1 in there! when are you going to realize No Body uses the SVD it is got to be one of the worst possible guns!
- Guns - the way that you limited what can be put on the guns as attachments is just ridiculous! The only way to make this game playable on a Scale of 0-to-worth it is by getting a modded patch.dat like FC4Attachments mod, Which you should have built into the game in the first place!
- Mods - As in no mods support at all! yeah F u guys for that one. Seriously who makes PC games with out incorporating their community's ability to make it better!? I mean have you seen what some of these community members can do? Its by far better work than anything UbiSoft as pushed out.
- Patch's and Releases - You guys seriously need to work on How you implement patch's Theres nothing worse than sitting around for 2-3 hours waiting on a 1200Mb file to download while your getting 200Kb/s Without a Clear and Visible Link To the Patch Notes! You make us dig around on your ****ing website while we are trying to download. Can you say Short Sighted?
- Graphics - Most of the Graphics look great There are some weird anomalies that happen when your using MSAA2x or higher with HBAO+ or even SSMA But if you Turn off AA completely its fine and you dont get some weird Residual burn in of people faces So Great Work on Fine Tuning That One! (can you tell that was sarcasm?) Also View Distance - Would have been great to be able to fog or cloud up some of the view to decrease the FPS hit on some of the wide angle shots. Also you guys posted Screen Shots and it looked like they were in 4k so thanks for not giving us that option either.
- I would have personally like to see more Weapon Slots this time something like Two Side arms, being able to dual wield side arms say like the m79 and the d2 shortgun would be great just remove the ability to ADS (boom) Left mouse triggers left hand Right Mouse triggers Right hand. Sont get whats so hard about that idea, how about a permanent Bow Slot/Auto Cross as well that way you never have to leave home without one of the Very Best weapons in the entire game. Basically you should have been able to get to the point where you have Two side arms (one on each leg) a Main Weapon (clip strapped to the front chest), an Explosive weapon (strapped the the lower back/thigh) A Sniper rifle (shoulder slung) and the bow (opposite should slung over neck to secure). and than eventually you get to the big and bad *** gun like a M4A1 which would be like the P146 / Bushman, Silenced, Under Barrel 203(40mm)round, ACOG w/ top mounted Reflex sight and bringing this gun up T swaps between the two zooms Pressing the same key you normally would to bring the gun up in the first place switches to the 203 (40mm) launcher.
- Being able to swap attachments on the Fly. Yeah that would have been really nice to see, to be able to swap attachments based on situation like in Crysis. Look that up if you dont know what Crysis is btw.
- Lack of communication ability in Coop mode. a built in VOIP that works in COOP would be great.
Well im off to go and try to re-mod this game after this latest patch totally wrecked my patch.dat file all over again.
Yes, I agree it's largely a FC3 reskin and the patches are too big for download on slower connections - Ubi must think everyone got unlimited data allowance and time for download.
I am short of deleting this game coz it's (guidance) generally confusing, maps are not really always showing where to go and some missions are too hard to survive even on "normal" difficulty - I hate excessive starting over n over again. Then there is a distinct lag of combat responsiveness (keyboard) killing you sooner than you can recharge health etc.
This game is no fun, it's fume!
my2cents
1. It actually does have a lot of new weapons that Far Cry 3 didn't You seem to predicate your entire "reskin copy" claim on weapons alone, and in reality, they just didn't add ones YOU wanted.
2. Far Cry 3 also limited attachments on a lot of weapons. There are mods to use any attachment on any weapon for both Far Cry 3 & 4.
3. As mentioned, there ARE mods, just no official modding tools. There IS however an sp map editor, so it's not true that there is zero mod support.
4. This is purely Uplay vs Steam. Steam updates much faster than that. Next time go Steam. Pretty much everyone knows Uplay is one of the worst game distribution systems in existence.
5. I play on a 7970 and don't experience this flaw you claim is the game. If you're on Nvidia, it could be driver related. And many very distant objects like the Himalayas actually are appropriately compensated graphically for performance. Adding clouds and fog wouldn't improve performance, unless they were fake and static. I'd rather have it as is.
6. This is a tactical shooter more than an arcade shooter. We won't likely see Doom scale arsenals being toted around, and I feel that's for the better. Even Far Cry 1 as arcade as it was had 4 weapon slots.
7. More cheap sarcasm, seriously? You could have tacked this onto point 2 or 6, but suffice it to say you like to be petty about your preferring a very arcade style of game. Making such changes at trading posts makes you strategize ahead, and adds to the realism of keeping gun optics and magazines secured from the elements. Crysis has always been a more sci fi experience than Far Cry and caters more to convenience than tactical realism. Where did that get CryTek? Their Crysis series started out as an interesting tactical shooter and devolved into an easy boring affair where it's all about the suit and nothing but the suit, so help me God mode. Go play Crysis then, it's probably more your speed.
There are quite a lot of people still having much fun with the game. Your 2 cents doesn't add up to much but an obvious, biased preference for simple arcade shooters. I'm glad they resist such suggestions.
Actually FC3/4 are exactly the same genre being tactical shooters..Originally Posted by Frag_Maniac Go to original post
FC4 is just an overcooked version of FC3! I could list annoyances like tightly timed missions and so on.
a game should stay a game.. meh, I will continue stumbling through FC4 with little weapons but with FC4 the "fun" is clearly overdone!
This is IMHO!
Your lack of attention to detail appears equivalent to his.Originally Posted by Butcherbird59 Go to original post
I was not comparing Far Cry 4 to 3 in saying that. I was comparing both FC3 & 4 to two of his points where he was asking for more weapon slots and being able to carry any attachment in the field and swap them out whenever you please.
This is not supposed to be a carry everything with you game, and THAT is arcade vs tactical, get it? In tactical games you generally pick your loadout at the start of the mission, and it generally doesn't involve an unrealistic amount of weapons. Quite frankly even carrying 3 long weapons at once is pushing it on the realism end for a tactical shooter.
In reality Far Cry has always been somewhere in between arcade and tactical, but it certainly doesn't need to be any more arcade. That would totally ruin it.
