I personally think the antagonists are the stars of the game rather than the protagonist. The Jackal in FC2, Vaas in FC3, Pagan Min in FC4 and the Seed family in FC5, all of them superbly designed and voice acted.I have played all in the series right from FC1 except New Dawn & Primal
FC5 is an excellent game with lots of new features and story plot. FC4 created the base for the game and FC5 enhanced it to next level.
I hope FC6 is another improvement down the line. But I am sure the Story won't disappoint.
I played it with a friend during free uplay+ trial last year. Otherwise surely not as good as other FC games.Tried new dawn but stopped playing after i was about an hour into the game. The pronounced "sameness" of the last few far cry titles really put me off playing them.
Honestly, I got bored with FC2 after an hour or so, same with Skyrim & Fallout 4. FC3 felt great & made me a fan of the franchise, though never felt like playing Primal.IMO FC2 is the best. FC3 was good only because of Vaas's acting, beyond that the game was pretty meh. FC4 was relatively okay and I found FC5 boring in the beginning but I kind of warmed up to it when I discovered that you could fly planes and dogfight enemy planes.
Same thing here with me but I played Far Cry Primal, Far Cry 3 & 4 other than these I didn't play the newest ones.I haven't played Blood Dragon, Primal, New Dawn or any of these spin-offs. Otherwise I have played every Far Cry game till date. Still I don't consider myself a Far Cry fan. I don't love it or hate it, it just is.
This is just like Just Cause Series.I lost Far Cry series at Far Cry 5 Too booring imo but this looks good.
Crytek sold the rights to Ubisoft. So, Crytek cannot make another Far Cry game even if they wanted.In my opinion the best game in this series was far cry 1 made by crytek. In those days it was mind blowing gameplay and graphics. I think crytek should again take charge and make a reboot of far cry 1. Far cry was original brainchild of crytek.
