I know it's my favorite and not by a small margin. And that's saying something because my other favorite shooters include Mass Effect and Bioshock. If I could only play one of these 3 amazing franchises for the rest of my life I pick Far Cry w/o a moments hesitation. A fact made even more impressive by the fact that I consider ME3 to be the best game ever made final 15 minutes be damned (You're my hero Marauder Shields). The incredible times I've had in FCIP and FC2 MP will always overshadow my very low opinions of the company that makes them. Every single one of the FC console games I've played through multiple times and I rarely finish a game once. I really really love these games, especially the FC3 campaign. My love for this franchise is why I'm so passionate about them getting FC4 right.
How about you guys? Is this your favorite shooter franchise? If not what is? And for the record CoD is a completely legit answer. Don't be afraid to love the games you love for whatever the heck reason you want.
It all depends what kind of player you are or what you look for in a game. I think FC4 will be nice to play and due to the editor will hopefully give many more creativity and fun hours to play. Is it the best fps for me? No it is not. I already know I will like The Division better. I also liked the Crysis games, but only on SP. Most MP is crap anyway to my opinion as it is often nothing more than running around like crazy, hopping like a rabbit and shoot at anything that moves with the biggest gun you can find. Al of which to me sounds very boring. But of course that is just my opinion.
Im drawn to far cry games because of the map editor. but i spend most of my multiplayer time on battlefield games. http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4...46878/xbox360/
It is at the top.
I like Crysis a lot too.
I like the other "sci-fi" shooters like Bioshock, Halo, Fallout, and Mass Effect too.
Gotta have me some sci-fi in my shooters, but Far Cry manages to get my attention without a lot of it.
I tried Assassin's Creed. I loved the ACIVBF setting ... reminded me of FC3. I just really missed modern weapons.
Recently, however, I have found Borderlands (Borderlands 2 specifically), and I really like that shooter model a lot ... a whole lot. I am going to be all over the Pre-Sequel release next week.
I enjoyed the Bioshock games but still feel the first was the best and possibly most difficult. Each one was so different from the other.
Loved the Halo Games but went off Halo MP after the 2nd one however COOP was always great and the story always draws you in.
Half Life is another game I really enjoyed that had an excellent story, just wish the new one would get some info if it ever comes out.
So many games I like, Far Cry Instincts was the first game I ever played online and will always have a place somewhere special for me and Predator I thought had the best MP modes and Maps from all the Far Cry games made so far so it will be interesting to see what FC4 Brings, as ALS said the Editor for us on Consoles is that magic that so many games don't have.
Fallout is my favorite franchise so I'll have to go with that, but Far Cry is probably second. Deus Ex, Borderlands and Bioshock are close behind. I enjoy shooters, but my collection is pretty limited to those franchises. If I am to throw rail gun shooters in there, House of The Dead takes the bait.
