This is VERY boring.
I tought that the topic of this game was about exploring tropical places or forrest areas. Seems like we are very far from that so what's going on? (This is a retorical question, it's Ubi making mess on another IP)
I just saw the reveal trailer, we are in the US and the bad guys are some religious crazy fanatics. I thought that they were going to finally extend on the survival elements and instead they are just doing random stuff with the IP. I just hope that map makers will be able to make MP maps.
The only one left is Splinter Cell, I hope they won't mess that up as well. (I have no hopes)
Sure, but like I was saying the themes of this game already kills my interest.Originally Posted by Viragoxv535 Go to original post
nothing new about the setting. Was clear since days.Originally Posted by StrayDog_RR Go to original post
And still we don't know how gameplay has been changed.
Fishing and hunting confirmed so far.
You could hunt in the past 2 main games, but it was nonsense after upgrading your equipment OFC, it could've worked if the games had survival elements too bad they didn't so you basically had useless stuff in your backpack that you could sell for gaining useless money since you had weapons for free thanks to hijacking towers. I hope that they at least made some evolution on that.
If you think it looks boring, don't buy it. No game is for everyone.
There are lots of games that aren't for me, but I don't bash them or the developers, because I recognise objectively that they are good games, enjoyed by many people, just not my cup of tea.
If this game isn't for you, move along.
That doesn't mean I'm not free to share my thoughts. So thanks for you post. You can move along now.Originally Posted by mistados Go to original post
I HATE when people say "this game isn't for you" when you've been with the franchise for a while. Those who were with the franchise since the first few games are the reason the franchise is alive and I'll say this much, I think I speak for quite a few when I say I felt ignored and unwanted during the develoment of FC3 and 4.
However I think both FC3 and 4 nailed the location themes of the franchise and I feel this one does as well. FC locations are exotic and beautiful locations and I think they've continued that trend beautifully here.
To the OP if you thought the topic of the game was about certain locations, then you simply got the wrong idea. You may well have based your supposition on seeing the content from earlier games but then you could argue that Primal doesn't belong if we thought FC games were about guns. To me FC games are about overcoming a bigger enemy in a hostile environment... maybe I'm wrong but just because I think one way and you think another... it doesn't make either of us right and Ubisoft doesn't have to listen to either of us....
Mistados put it very well .... even though you may have taken exception to how he worded his last sentence... wasting time on negativity is pointless. You're entitled to your view, vent if it makes you feel better. Those of us who enjoy FC games for what they are, not for what we think they should be, will still enjoy it.
The reason for your disappointment though is because of your own expectations, I think that is an important thing for you to realize. There are going to be plenty of forests in this game, I'd wager that will probably be the majority of the land mass actually, but because you seem to think that FC is supposed to be specifically about tropical places, of course you're going to be disappointed. Ubi hasn't been beholden to tropical locales since FC2, which is good, because if every one was about tropical locations, now that would be boring, imagine if FC2/3/4 AND now 5 were all about tropical locations? talk about copy & paste.Originally Posted by StrayDog_RR Go to original post
You thought they would extend the survival elements, but far cry is not a survival game akin to day z or the like, so that was another thing that you wanted that didn't happen so now you're bummed about the game as a whole. having to maintain sleep, hunger & thirst bars or whatever doesn't sound like a lot of fun, i don't know what sort of survival elements you wanted exactly but especially considering that the game is modern and that has been known for a while now the expectation of them in this game should've died with the knowledge of it's setting really... Living in MT i have never been on the brink of death because of not having food to eat, it just doens't make sense in modern america....
So if you take stock of everything this game is doing that you don't like and then realize that it's because of your own specific desires I think it should (if you've a modicum of self-awareness & logic) become clear that you're disappointment is self inflicted and that faulting Ubisoft for the direction they've chosen is misguided.
