Hello Everyone,
I just quickly wanted to express my concerns towards the upcoming weapons in Far Cry 6 and future installments to the developers (again).
The reason I made this thread is to once again, kindly, remind everyone at Ubisoft that we are tired of seeing recycled/returning weapons/gun models from previous entries. We are very worried that Far Cry 6 and future games will have the same weapons/ gun models since prior games.
We would like to see more new weapons that we have not seen in Far Cry games before. For example, a complete fresh list of weapons replacing the old models. However, keeping the essentials like the AK47, 1911 and RPG are viable.
Since Far Cry 3, we have been repeatedly been given the same returning firearms over and over again. This is insanity and very annoying.
There is a ratio with new games that incorporate new and old weapons. This is Usually at 20% returning and 80% new firearms. It varies from game to game. But new weapons are between 60-80%.
The Far Cry games have 15-20% new weapons with every new game. This not enough!
What exactly is meant by this?
Example: Far Cry 3 to Far Cry 4. Every single firearm from FC3 was put into FC4. FC3 had a total of 30 weapons. FC4 had a total of 42. 12 being new additions.
Similar situation with Far Cry 5 weapons, however, we got fewer new additions in comparison to Far Cry 4. Instead, we got more versions of the same firearms. 3 different lengths of the M133 shotgun (which has been in 5 games already). 2 different lengths of the ARC. You get my point.
Day Hay, stated back in 2018 that Far Cry 5 has the most amount of weapons than any previous Far Cry game. This is true and false.
Yes, it has the most amount of weapons. The only problem about that statement is the fact that you have 3 different variations of the same gun. Essentially, copy and paste, done very bad.
Seriously, how stupid do the developers think we are not to notice? This is very cheap.
Let me give you another simple example;
We had the MP5 for the past three main games. It’s milked to death by now. We have seen it enough. Please replace it with something new, like the UMP45 or the P90 (yes it was in Far Cry 1 but that was ages ago).
The same thing with the M133 shotgun. I simply cannot see this thing anymore. Can you replace it with something like the 1897 trench gun? Ithaca 37? Or the Benelli Supernova? There are enough pump action shotguns to choose from. Please!
It is okay to keep essentials and favorites from the series. I mentioned this earlier. An AK47, 1911 and RPG are not a problem. There just shouldn’t be too many returning weapons. The ratio is very crucial with more new and less old.
Our voices are not being heard from anyone at Ubisoft.
Like I said earlier, many people have complained about this matter a lot. Without any success
Please excuse the rant, I‘m a very passionate Far Cry Fan. It’s one of my favorite game franchises. Therefore, I felt obligated to share my thoughts and help this franchise I care for very much. However, I don’t believe Ubisoft will listen to us again.
Stay safe and healthy everyone.
the weapons we will use in this game are also a worry of mine we have seen that some weapons will return and this is expected i never think the entire selection will be replaced from one game to next i am more worried that we will only see new weapon in form of the makeshift that they have spoken about it seem to be a focus of the game to use these home made weapons like nail guns with scopes and mufflers for barrels i am hopeing that we still get some new additions to the regular weapons also and the screenshot showing the fal has given me hope but i want there to be a few more new regular guns also
This is not even a valid criticism especially if these weapons exist in real life and they are common in a lot of countries. I suppose like every other modern day or historical first person shooter out there are recycling weapons then? According to your logic, Ubisoft might as well invent fictional weapons like we're playing Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon all over again. Far Cry 2 takes place in Africa, Far Cry 1 and Far Cry 3 takes place in the tropical islands, Far Cry 4 takes place in the Himalayas, and Far Cry 5 takes place in the United States. AK47s can be found in all of these locations in real life.
Recycle is not the correct word to use. Good grief. I get what you are saying but I wouldn't use the word recycle if I were you. Expanding is good, but it sounds like you are suggesting they should abandon these weapons.
@KrayZee
Listen, it’s quite clear you have not played many Far Cry games otherwise you wouldn’t be writing that essay. I would highly suggest you start playing Far Cry 3-5 in order to get an understanding.
Valid criticism? You must be new here. Since Far Cry 4 community members have been complaining and criticizing the developers for these practices. What practices? Copy and paste. Which is a common practice at Ubisoft.
Stay Healthy everyone!
It's quite clear you never played Far Cry 1, Far Cry Instincts, Far Cry Instincts Evolution, Far Cry Instincts Predator or even Far Cry 2. I played all of the Far Cry games except Far Cry Vengeance on the Wii and the Arcade Cabinet 'Paradise Lost'. I bet you never even heard of those games at all, have you? These games have the weapons you have suggested and it's very clear you are not a game developer or designer in any way. Your choice of words is very revealing how much you understand very little of how designing video games even work. "Copying and pasting"? Are you serious? Does it look like we have pirates in Mount Everest in Far Cry 4? Does it look like we have the Royal Army from Far Cry 4 in Far Cry 5's Montana? Does it look like we have Eden's Gate cultists in Far Cry 6? Do we have neanderthals running around with clubs in any other Far Cry game besides Primal?Originally Posted by Argonaut_Knight Go to original post
Yes, I certainly must be new here since I joined the Ubisoft forum since December 2005.
You literally wrote "I cannot believe Ubisoft is recycling AGAIN all weapons for Far Cry 6" and "STOP RECYCLING OLD WEAPONS" for two different thread titles. That's not a pleasant thing to casually read and yet you're telling me I should relax. Exactly how is that a valid concern that is upsetting you so much that you need to write it on all caps? That's a simple question you can't even answer. Exactly what is wrong with it? Isn't it better to keep these existing weapons and expand on it? You're writing complaints as if you are suggesting they should be completely gone for good for future installments. If they really are 'copying and pasting' as you yourself have claimed, they would literally use the exact same model with the exact same animations with the exact same sound effects. That's not even the case here.Originally Posted by Argonaut_Knight Go to original post
