This game is strange without the knife as a melee weapon. In a future update or dlc, there should be a machete, kuhrki, or combat knife melee weapon. It would would the same as a normal melee weapon, like a baseball bat. The far cry series is based on the machete/blades weapon melee, and the takedowns are much better and more brutal. Jacob seed is holding one in a loading screen, so that could be a starting point for ideas.
What are the odds the automated "take downs" (get close enough...see screen prompt..press button...rinse and repeat) and the "skills menu system" (accumulate skills automatically by moving through the story arc instead of actually developing ability to perform challenging movements and attacks) will be dropped from future releases? Remember the running slide in Far Cry 2...or the ability to attack enemies with a machete anywhere on the body? These are features in the game you had to practice to become skilled at doing. In all releases since FC3 the player has no way to develop real game playing skills. How is that fun? Same thing with seeing through obstacles to fight enemies. How is that a challenge?Originally Posted by UbiFrostX Go to original post
I think these are legitimate questions without malice towards Ubisoft. I just want to understand the mind set behind the decisions to make the game so easy.
Fingers cross for the knife! That would be very cool.Originally Posted by scrapser Go to original post
Scrapster: I totally agree with you. I like the game to be as challenging as possible. To Ubi's credit, they did listen to the community back in the Far Cry 3 days on the points of the detection meter, enemy tagging, mini map, etc. and since then have made those abilities optional. You can can switch them off in the gameplay menu. I hope that helps. Game on!

I would love that!! A baseball bat is OK, but the knife was awesome!
Knife takedown is very controversial issue for the game! Shall we cut people or not?! Without knife takedown in Far Cry 5 developers drove themselves into the trap! There will be no knife takedown in Far Cry 6 also......I'll explain why! If there will be knife takedown in Far Cry 6, and we will cut people again.......gamers all over the world will ask themselves - we cut people in Far Cry 3, Far Cry 4, in Far Cry 6.....but why we didn't cut people in Far Cry 5? Why? Because they were americans? We can cut people from Pacific Islands, we can cut Nepal, Tibeth people, we can cut Far Cry 6 location people.....but only not americans? Why so? Is it some kind of racism, exceptionalism.....or what? People will ask this question! And developers are in trap. No answer! Only one answer - no more knife takedowns and cutting people at all. Otherwise developers will have to admit - " americans can't be cut....but people from other world locations can". Think about it, developers!
Not more. Just knives or blades of some sort. I have yet to see any requests for anything other than sharp weapons.Originally Posted by UbiFrostX Go to original post
