    Seriously I hate killing any animals as long as it does not attack hence I always skipped all the animal hunt (maps) in Far Cry
    Or you know, it could play more like a videogame and take a bit more than that, but I understand the allure the path of least resistance has for most players. It certainly took more than was realistic to take down rhinos and bigger beasts in FC4... Hunting and killing wildlife has become a fairly core component to the FC series, and honestly the step away from it in FC5 was sort of to it's detriment. I missed it being more necessary. Unlocking my holsters & capacity upgrades via perks was dull, I'd have rather had to gather elk and wolverine pelts to increase my grenade capacity than just spend a perk point I found in a bunker, gee, how exciting... The wildlife and animals used to have reason to be there beyond simply being set dressing, and I think it'd be better for the game if that were the case again in FC6.

    My job is to protect wildlife and if you d met me, you d probably consider that I m an extremely dedicated person to my job. I did stuff no one wanted to do because it was going to take a physical and psychological toll on the doer, yet i considered it needed to be done. I m against hunting in most of its forms (I grew up in a tribe for some times so I won t blame people with no resources at all hunting for food with sticks and bows).

    Yet i have fun hunting animals in games, especially Far Cry that does show a great diversity of overwise poorly known creatures. Sure you got to kill those but it s a game. It s just meant to have fun. In reality I d surely not engage a whole group of men armed to the teeth but in a game I d happily run towards them with a dynamite stick.

    WildCassowary, very good that you're protecting nature.

    But you're considering nature, more, in terms of specialist.
    Developers should consider nature more in terms of the Game and gameplay.

    Imagine, nature in the game as 100% simulator!
    I don't think you'll like it.

    Developers should find ballance between reality and gameplay.
    Otherwise game will be boring.
    That's why some exaggerration is necessary.

    Animals are more aggressive, attacking you more often, dying not from one bullet and so on.
    The main thing here - is not to overdo it.

    Overdoing - is a problem.


    By the way, very good that there will be horses in Far Cry 6.
    Good that developers have grown up to this.
    It's a progress.

    I see cities and horses as step forward.

    It will let Far Cry to dethrone Assassin's Creed from Ubisoft's pedestal, in the future.
    Such game as Far Cry, with its nature, characters, modern day shooter - must be on the top.


    And horses open the door to Far Cry Western.
    I think "Must Have" for one of the games.
    It can be something like Primal or big game.....but it must be.

    Assassin's Creed Western would be parody on RDR2.
    But Far Cry Western is another story.


    1st person, South Western nature, villains, Far Cry style and good story will make a memorable Far Cry Western....

    I talked about my job mostly to explain my point of view towards hunting in games (answering to last comment).

    I m not much a fan of the perspective of a Far West Cry. And problem is, most of the planet has already been explored in terms of original locales (even Mars!), asides from Europe (hope not) and the Arctic (not really original). I d rather go for mutants like the first one or dinosaurs.

    The franchise itself is known for throwing players into exotic places filled with uncommon nature and cultures (I guess that s why 5 had gathered some mixed feelings on the setting). I m hoping for a FC6 (and DLC) with special environment that makes it differ from the rest.

    Apparently, the early guess was right since the optional steelbook covers confirm the fighting chicken and the leather jacket wearing crocodile as Fangs for hire.

    Fighting rooster is very good.

    Those who were attacked by a rooster in the childhood probably still remember how scary it was.


    What do I like about roosters......their absolute fearlessness!

    No matter how big you are!
    No matter how strong you are!
    No matter how many you are!

    Rooster is a symbol of absolute Courage!

    Desperation, hesitation, hopelessness are not about rooster.

    Rooster can kick out and chase a dog, a human, a cow.......everyone he dislikes.

    It would be good if we were attacked by a rooster in the game, before having it as a friend for hire.
    We should experience his wrath on our skin! As an enemy.

    He is faster than a turkey in FC5.
    He can fly up a bit when attacking.

    Our vulnerable parts of the body are - eyes and crown of the head.
    Pecking there might be lethal.

    Let us feel how fast and reckless can be a bird!


    Why not to make one of the roosters looking like Vaas, for instance?!
    With the similar haircut.


    After FC5 turkeys - FC6 roosters will be on point.
    Good passing the baton....

    Well, considering todays ecology-friendly trends, I think it could be really interesting to actually avoid killing animals - let's say there could be a limited population of each species, and some kind of corelation between theese populations - some kind of a simple foodchain.

    Other thing - I know that Ubi do their best to recreate animals, I'd simply like to point some differences between eopards (asian and african panthers) and jaguars (american panthers):

    1. Spots: leopards have spots without dots inside, smaller and less dense. Jaguars - larger spots, dots inside, denser:

    leopard


    jaguar


    2. Size - Jaguars have shorter legs and tail, and are more muscular than leopards.

    3. Diet - both cats eat meat. Both are capable of taking their prey with twice of their own mass to a tree to feed calmly. Jaguars are the top of a foodchain in both americas, they hunt for large mammals like cattle. There were situations of jaguars hunting for kaymans and giant snakes as well.

    4. Melanism (black fur) genes are dominating genes for cats. This means black panthers are quite common, but albino ones are extremely rare.

    There is one more thing - jaguars, as well as tigers, are good swimmers and do not avoid water. This wasn't present in previous games, but could add some adrenaline to gameplay.

    Sloths are so slow.......

    May be there will be some sloths on drugs - Super Fast!

    SPEEDY SLOTH.

    Everyone is used to them being slow.
    And Voila - Energizer!


    Drug effect ends and its again - as usual.....

    Sloths spend most of their time on trees, so to make sense of their presence, they should be able to climb. Otherwise theese living teddy bears acting only as a prey for predators - well, for me it would be a waste of resources. But if they could occur in the game with tree climbing ability, we could get some interesting results. Both - big cats and eagle harpies hunt for sloths. First of them tries to climb and pull the sloth down. The second acts like an eagle - it grabs a sloth while flying by.
