One of the reasons (one of a few) that FC5 was disappointing to me, was the new health system.
The regenerating health system was ridiculous. It’s like you were wolverine. In fact it was so aggressive it made it almost impossible to be killed.
I hate regenerating health in games. It’s so arcadey and cheesy.
I prefer health kits, it’s more immersive and forces you to play a more considered approach.
I really hope they ditched the regenerating health — any moderators care to confirm?
What I enjoyed about that system is that you could in effect tailor the difficulty of previous FAR CRY games to your preference.
FC4 and PRIMAL I just rolled with 2 health bars total. Pitch perfect!
FC5 was too easy, due to the health regen, that and a lot of enemies went down with a single shot, and there wasn’t many enemies in outposts, about 5 a piece.
Health kits better than regenerating health because it ends in the worst possible moment!And it makes the game more exciting and alive. Opens more opportunities for crafting. There should be different types of health kits, from easy to strong. Sometimes it seems that developers team was infiltrated by saboteurs, whose task is to undermine the game from inside.
By the way......what about making combinatory health system in the future? Very slow regenerating health + health kits. If you don't like "two hours" regeneration - use kits, if you don't like kits - wait for regeneration. Why not to have a doctor in our squad?! Doctor ( fighter with medical skills) may heal us also.
