    far cry 5 was a good game new dawn is so meh

    Ok so i was pretty happy with a new far cry game i loved fc5 and played it to death,

    FC5 was fun a little wacky and i loved that,what i dont like about new dawn is how its just a DLC amount of content pretending to be a new game.
    Lets face facts hear if we remove the need to upgrade the base and the harder enemy's and animals and just stick to the main missions you could probably finish FCND in about 5-10 hours.

    Things i hate about FCND

    1, the class levels, why is this even in far cry its a fps not a rpg
    2, upgrades, ok im not against this per say im against the pointless grind in a game that isnt really more than a DLC amount of content
    3, something i hated about fc5 and is still in fcnd was animals that seem to just spawn next to you not fun

    I cant see why so much was changed from the original game,FC5 had all the basics covered and you guys decided to reinvent the wheel and personally came back with a triangle instead,
    Story wise FC5 was fantastic except the endings they were basic poop but i will forgive that, Failing that it was a good game,story was fun,fps side was pretty on point and content was fun.

    So I shouldn't get it then? As well, price is ridiculous here in Australia what with the low dollar.

    They need to work on their villains. They have become a little laughable. Bashing someone's head in with a skid-lid does not make them scary the same as you killing and butchering 50469 baddies doesn't make you scary.

    I don't understand people saying 'it's a dlc length' which is obviously not true. The dlcs take a couple of hours. New Dawn is 20 or 30 hours.

    I feel the oposite ... Far Cry 5 was so meh and this feels so good ... shame it is not as big a game as FC5 ...
    I agree the violently vivid pink is meh though.

    Definitely not as good as fc5, a few elements are cool, but, very limited in replay. Expeditions are best thing in game, but no ethanol in rewards. 2 stars, overall. Ubisoft is losing me, I want FUN, not lame morality lessons and yakking on about religion. I personally think J. Seed was a totally stupid antagonist, now we are forced to be his buddy!!?? I wanted to KILL HIM. HE IS SCUM. Not cool.

    25: Outfit rewards as a 'chance' (artificially elongating the length of an otherwise short game)
    26: Twins mouth movements weird like vetriloquist dummies
    27: Sharky in game but cant use him as GFH
    28: Most outposts and buildings (etc) have pointlessly confusing (and bizzare) layouts...
    29: ...and all the wooden ones look like they are designed by IKEA.
