So
Is it any good?
>>
Fuck no.

No. It's literally Far Cry 3.75
>>
It's an ok mod for Far cry 3, assuming you get it for free.
>>
Ive never played a fc game, worth it for new players?

If you want to play Farcry get 3, it's the best one

More Farcry 3, except you play as a Hunter from Farcry 4, and it looks like Turok with no dinosaurs

WRONG.

Here is the correct opinion on FC games

Blood Dragon > 1 > 3 > 2 > 4 > Primal

>>329263225
it's a stripped down farcry game, so no
>>
I beat farcry 3 and blood dragon 3 days ago and started farcry 4 yesterday. It's way better than both of those. Blood dragon is great for the comedy but its the same gameplay. 4 has way more stuff to do, nicer world, more refined everything. Definitely getting Primal when it's on a humble bundle
>>
>>329263881
Blood Dragon is too short, and i'm sure he won't be interested in 1 or 2, as they're pretty old and boring for new players

This. I can't take a game seriously if even the guys who made the game think the whole thing is a fucking joke.

Don't get me wrong i fucking love Blood Dragon but the people who unironically think it's better than Far Cry 3 think like 12 year olds, but that guy went beyond, he put FC 1 before FC 3

Beat BD last night. How bout that ending huh? Seems ripe for a sequel
>>
I think they did pretty well with what few weapons they have. The animals are pretty cool too. I like how they do shit like react to fire and the pure desnity of animals makes for constant random generated encounters. The story is really shit though so keep that in mind. If you think far cry 4 would be alright without a story then primal might interest you.
The whole taking animals thing is a refreshing aspect though lots of them are just upgraded version of the same animal. Wolf --> white wolf --> rare striped wolf. Also no matter what you will probably end up using the saber tooth tiger end game which is stupid one is obviously superior to the rest. And why the fuck can I ride a brown bear but not the two stronger and bigger bears? It makes no sense.
>>
>>329263881
4 is objectively better than 3 because it's just 3 with a few more things. The fact it followed 3 is what hurts it
>>
>listening to giant bomb talk about the game and building up the village etc
>actually get more interested
>then they talk about how it's packed with tons of tedious bullshit and barely an plot and feels like a blood dragon they decided to stretch into a full game
Went from half chub to flacks real quick

It's 3rd on steam's top seller list and on the PSN store it got a 5/5 stars AND a 15% discount.
plenty of ''normies'' bought it

Imagine WoD garrisons, but you have to collect things

It does feel a little half assed in times with the game mechanics. The owl is awkward and poorly implimented, I think I would rather have had a persistant hawk friend that flew around and could be used to target people at a distance. Being able to control a large animal as well as a hawk while fighting would have increased the variety a bit. More weapons would have been possible, too. Slings? Different size spears and javelins? Flint knives? Boomerangs? Pocket sand? Literally throwing a snake at someone? Different handling clubs and axes?

Think about how Chronicles of Riddick did melee combat with clubs and knives way back then, so much better.
>>
>>329274806
Not him but I have my doubts. It sucks having to fight a mammoth as is, having a bunch of mammoths on sterioids who can outrun you seems like it'd suck and limit combat to your pet commands and dino riding. Plus I'd think bigger animals would mean a less dense animal population which honestly was one of the best aspect of the games. So I guess it depends on how many types of little dinosaurs they can find to cram in and reserve the big ones for boss fights

>>329275624
It would be cool to have a land of the lost type expansion where you find some ancient blocked off passageway leading to a new map filled with dinosaurs, giant birds, predatory plants and crazy monkey people. They could write it off as a Blood Dragon like non-serious expansion.
>>
>>329264563
There was no meme's in blood dragon. Sure there were references to things, mainly from the 80's since that was the fucking meta setting, but no memes. Learn the fucking word
>>
>>329275375
They do have a sling and there are two different types of clubs, as well as flint throwing knives.
I don't think the owl was necessarly meant to be used as a main form of combat. It is used for recon/stealth builds to cause a bit of havoc and break up the large groups of enemies so you can pick them off. There's a reason the owls attack is on an 80 second cool down, but you're right, the mechanics were clunky as fuck.

Farcy 2 was a fantastic game if you aren't a filthy casual. Still my favorite in the series even with its flaws.

>>
>>329276091
It was a good game. 3 improved on it though by tenfold, except I liked the fire mechanic in 2 better
>>
>>329276079
Ah, I haven't gotten that far yet. I am enjoying it though, but like Farcry 2 I have to make my own fun. I turned all the HUD elements off and basically stumble through the game using landmarks and the big map to find my way to objectives.
>>
Reminder that they didn't bother modeling any unique animals to the time period that weren't easy reskins.
>>
>>329276429
That's definitely the way to go. If you want to keep it challenging don't spec into the melee resistance on the bottom left when it becomes available. Its game breakingly good.
And don't use too strong of a beast because eventually it keeps almost all predators away just by being near you. It's more fun to actually have to use fire to scare away predators.
>>
>>329263561
Free? I thought it had denuvo?
>>
>>329276294
I hate most of the changes. I preferred the minimalist HUD over the array of floating icons that broke any sense of emmersion. Radio towers made the game feel even more arcadey. Even the increased mobility and ease of travel just made the vehicles useless and took away any sense of desperation when you broke down behind enemy lines.
>>
>>329276448
Yeah, I'm not an expert on the era, but weren't there like giant rhino horse things and massive sloth beasts? What about gigantic Emu raptor things?
>>
>>329276448
That's infuriating. The animals would be the best part of that.

Okay list but

>>
>>329275739

I enjoy both.

That being said, where the fuck is my PC version of Instincts? It was more linear than Far Cry but it was actually a better game.
