    How good is FarCry 5 New Dawn

    Let me, just flat out say this. The only way that I had came across Ubisoft, is through their Assassin Creed Game Series. So, I am looking for any other games that might be good that Ubisoft has made.

    It's all opinion. I don't like the AC games. I love Far Cry. I'd suggest watching some game play video of far Cry. New Dawn is a continuation of Far Cry 5. It's best to play FC 5 before New Dawn.

    The majority of people favor Far Cry 3 as #1. Far Cry 4 is my favorite. New Dawn is not a full game. It's more like half of a FC game. That's why it retailed at $39.99 on release instead of $59.99.
    I'd start with FC 3 if I were you. It's probably super cheap. It's so old. It feels pretty clunky and outdated on console compared to Far Cry 4 and beyond. Still worth it and if you are on PC I'm sure it's much better than the crappy job they did on the console port.

    Ubisoft's top franchises that I've played include...

    Assassin's Creed - 100 million
    Splinter Cell - 31 million
    Ghost Recon - 25 million
    Far Cry - 25 million
    Driver - 19 million
    Watch Dogs - 10 million

    The one I got the most replay value out of by far is Ghost Recon Wildlands, very good game.

    New Dawn is pretty good, but it's just a portion of the FC5 map repurposed. It does IMO have better gameplay than FC5 though, and added some new maps for the Expeditions.

    Pokémon sold 311 million units. I wouldn't like that, either.

    The stats were just to clarify popularity among Ubi titles obviously. What shocked me though is Driver outsold Watch Dogs by twice as much.

    Get Far Cry 5 as FCNW story is a continuation of it and the story makes less sense without it.
    I thought at first FCND should be the DLC rather than the mostly unrelated stuff that actually shipped, however with EXPEDITIONS there is a lot to explore and do, not obvious at first so it is a full game in its own right as advertised.
    There is much more in FC5, however, and t like very much some of the original music and like its soundtrack much better than FCNW

    I personally think it rocks! it does not need FC5 first to play it as a stand alone title at all.. but if you know the story of FC5 some things in it that come up story wise.. you will make connections to from FC 5 ..
    FC5 Montana taken over by a cult before a Nuclear disaster.. ND that same area years after that 17 I think.. and after a super bloom and a Mad Max movie bad guy type group are the bad guys this time around..
    but its all opinion.. I have played every FC game since FC1 .. 5 and ND my Fav's

    and ... I did the demo for AC.. I hated the whole concept of the game .. was not even my thing.. so there you go..
    as stated above you should tube game play vids to see what it is like..

    I like how Far Cry music merges with the monologues of the characters!
