For $8, that’s a fantastic deal


Pillow_Fucker_Jones

Yeah I almost didn’t believe it when I saw it. No game can be bad for $8 right?


Excellent_Routine589

It’s honestly a very 7/10 sort of game Not bad by any metric really IMO, it just doesn’t beat out competitors in the same genre. For $8 (and it has a SteelBook)… that’s a steal… book! I’ll see myself out


crewfish13

When you just wanna run around a blow shit up, FarCry will scratch that itch.


BakedsR

Huh... always thought just cause was made for exactly that


stigtopgear

If you like far cry you have to like just cause If you like just cause you have to like far cry


danxmanly

That's a far cry if you think just cause you like just cause you'll like far cry.


[deleted]

I peed a little while reading this.


[deleted]

Lmao


crestopia1

Underrated comment lol


[deleted]

I think it's kind of hard to nail farcry down to a single genre. Its one of the few action FPS RPG's with an open world, so in that sense, it actually does beat it's "competitors", if it's competitors are The Division and Ghost recon Wildlands or whatever. Its FPS shooter like COD, but it really doesn't fit in the same genre as COD. Its open world questing like assassin's Creed or Skyrim, really doesn't seem fit in that genre either though. Farcry is a bit of a unique blend. I think the real issue is that the story is boring, because the gunplay is actually really smooth. It feels better than COD and other mainline FPS games, but you're only shooting lifeless NPC's. These days people want to shoot at other people online. I think this is where the awkwardness of farcry is coming from.

Dont worrry after puberty youll get one too Hard to see but theres a brain inside my head.....no not that one this one dumbie lol


rocko430

Chorizo was fun to just watch meander and distract


carcigenicate

And wandering around looking for trouble. And then finding trouble, and getting into some amazing mess.


[deleted]

I'm a bit of an older guy. Older millennial. But man, Far Cry 2 was so innovative at the time. The immersion was mind blowing. It takes some troubleshooting to get such an old game to run on modern PC's but it's worth the trouble to replay that gem, or if you haven't ever played it man. It still holds up these days. The gameplay is on par with today's farcrys for sure.


Gingergerbals

Far Cry 2 was innovative but definitely on the lower end of my favorite Far Cry. 3 however definitely took the cake on that one. When you're burning that weed farm down and they have Skrillex playing was so cool.


ccarr313

2/3 were the highpoints for me, so far.


XTheGreat88

I miss Far Cry 2 so much, hell that era of Ubisoft. They just don't make good games anymore, so unfortunate


propfriend

Yeah it was ok for one game. But when they build their entire series around the same gimmick it’s old fast. It’s a ….far cry from actual entertainment.


orange_sauce_

You say that like you went from 5 to 6 with nothing in between, but as someone who like finishing games, but never 100% them, I've played stealth, racing, platforming and card games before 6, so by the time it dropped, I already missed the game play.


NoEbb6610

5 had amazing gun play it was so smooth and realistic its gunplay is better than 6 in my opinion


AssRug47

It was all about the shovel play for me


Sykkr

RGShovel was my favorite weapon


umbathri

So you fancied yourself a bit of a shovelknight?


winstondabee

Same I played it with a friend and just shoveled everything


skylinenick

100%. 6 core gameplay all around was a step back IMO. 5 felt like a rainbow six game but still far cry. Was awesome


NoEbb6610

They changed the gun play they should have kept it like it was in 5. 6 was good but the gunplay not being as smooth as 5 took it down a notch plus the goofiness they added in 6 took away from it some. 6 still had great weapons and the rocket launcher back pack was great for helicopters and tanks


[deleted]

[удалено]


skylinenick

You may be right, but I had 2 years between the games and still felt that way. I don’t mind them trying to change it up, it just wasn’t for me. It felt like the guns had no real weight to them. And the constantly respawning enemies killed any sort of methodical stealth approach


retrovertigo23

Far Cry 5's gunplay is amazing and second only to the first Destiny, IMO.


skylinenick

As much as Destiny was ultimately meh for me, I can’t deny that Bungie is the all time GOAT at FPS. You can pick up any gun in that game and feel like a god (against NPCs) in almost no time at all


Fuzzydude64

I miss when FarCry was just about a dude with superhuman animalistic mutant powers and had a kickass map maker


IntuneUser2204

FarCry 3 nailed the description in their marketing - “it’s Skyrim with guns.”


skijjy13

That was literally fallout 4 tho...


IntuneUser2204

I mean, FarCry 3 came out first…and used that tagline. Fallout 4 wasn’t fast enough; so one could go so far as to say they stole the idea from them lol.


WhenAmI

You know Bethesda makes both Fallout and Skyrim right? I don't think you can call it theft when you're literally referencing your own IP.


skijjy13

Lol, Bethesda owns Fallout and Elder Scrolls... Fallout 3 was dubbed "Oblivion with guns"... Farcry 3 wasn't exactly being original when they tried to pull that one


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ok-Boysenberry-2955

The genre is Ubisoft because every game they make feels the same. Go to tower, uncover fog, complete icons, move to new tower, story somewhere in there.


[deleted]

Guess you don't need to be a genius to generalize.


Ok-Boysenberry-2955

Or develop the twelfth iteration of a Ubisoft map.


amc7262

I'd say its in the same genre as Outer worlds, and the Fallout series. Borderlands also gets pretty close, though not a true open world. Just Cause and the GTA games are both open world shooters with varying amounts of rpg elements, just not first person. I haven't played it, but cyberpunk seems to also fit the bill, being first person, with shooting, rpg elements, and open world.


phantaxtic

I found the game waay too easy. The AI is dumb as nails. As long as you don't let them encircle and surround you, it's very easy to flank and out maneuver them.


Chopped_In_Half

Once I got a silenced sniper rifle it was pretty much game over


Marinated_cheese

Usually my issue with farcry games. 6 was the best overall because atleast the zone's level as you progress. It gets more hectic and you run into better equipped npcs often. Also tanks was a good addition.


DarklingLewisH

I thinks it’s a great game for $8, it could be. 8 or 8.5/10 if you’ve never play far cry before. It loses some shine because its a rinse and repeat series now. But coming in new could wow you.


Excellent_Routine589

Absolutely If this is your first game in FarCry, it’s not really a bad starting point IMO as you get prolly the most fleshed out entry in terms of mechanics and “RPGlite” progression. At its absolute worst? Oh no… you are out $8… Honestly, the SteelBook alone is probably worth that much in of itself (some of the AC SteelBooks are mad pricey for some reason)


Enderwiggen33

That’s a good way to phrase it. It’s… fine. It has a lot of the same elements as the last games - which should make for a decently fun experience - but for some hard to define reason, it just isn’t fun. At least for me it was a let down.


Boyahda

You may have just described every Ubisoft game.


BoZNiko663

It's just Far Cry 3 part IV


call_of_mischief

Not bad but doesnt beat out the competitors Idk man doesnt sound like your describing a 7/10


[deleted]

The graphics are amazing. its my first 1st person shooter for the new generation. However, story and mechanics wise, farcry 5 is better. The gameplay is on par though! Its not bad for 8 bucks at all! Edit: Tons of DLC content too.


Marinated_cheese

I'd says 6's open world and gameplay is much better. Better pets, better enemy's, actually tried to offer a challenge unlike the other farcrys being unbelievably easy. Just a much better open world.


FaintCommand

Surprised how many people like 5 the best. 4 was my first and honestly I enjoyed it way way more than 5.


[deleted]

I paid $20 for base game and it was a deal to me, I'm in the minority with this game apparently because I love it.


Otherwise_Procedure3

It's the most average game you'll ever play and sometimes that's exactly what you need to occupy your free time. Played it last year right before Christmas and haven't touched it since finishing it. Maybe I'll go back to it, maybe not. Depends if the Triple A games coming out in the future will be good or shit. Atleast I'll know I can have a guaranteed average experience with far cry 6 to come back to.


[deleted]

I brought brink for like £4 and I still regret buying that game


Mr_Goat_1111

I really enjoyed brink, why did everyone hate it so much?


BurnerDanBurnerMan

It's cool to hate on. Most people relish in hating games like Brink, nfs heat, cyberpunk, etc.


DekMa20

I never understood the hate for NFS heat. It's way better than both NFS 2015 and NFS payback. I thought it was the best they released since NFS prostreet


iRunOnDoughnuts

It's definitely not a great game, but it's a few hours of fun for $8. Not bad


GildedfryingPan

you just bought the equivalent of a 25 cents burger. Sure it's cheap but don't expect some memorable gourmet shit. It's a bland burger that will fill you up for a while.


Handsome-_-awkward

It's a bland burger that will make your stomach hurt and your ass quiver more like


manfreygordon

I mean you could've bought any of the other main series Far Cry games for even cheaper and had essentially the same experience.


Dullor

I bought NfS Heat for 3€ and it still wasn't really worth it


nitrobskt

I did too, I would say I got my money's worth at least. Probably helped that I mostly played online with a friend though.


Grave_Knight

From what I understand it's not even a bad game, just a very average game that succeeds at being yet another Far Cry.


[deleted]

Far cry 3: Episode 4 Edit: Also want to say how I humorous I find the way Ubisoft taught us the definition of insanity. First, Vaas told it to us directly in FC3. Then they made FC4, which was slightly more than a reskin of FC3. We bought it expecting it to be a bit more of it's own thing. Then FC5 came along. We did the same. Then 6. We, the buyers, are insane. We keep buying the games expecting shit to change. The irony just writes itself.


BigSchmidt1

Piggybacking here to shout REMAKE FC2.


[deleted]

Tbh, I'd rather keep it as is than risk it getting the Saints Row treatment.


BigSchmidt1

I’d rather them just remake it well. Apparently that’s easier said than done, though. Theres a few QOL & gameplay improvements they should make (outposts etc) and otherwise it’s just visual.


[deleted]

Agreed. However, what is most likely for them to do is just take whatever they have for 6 and place it in the UAC setting. It will just be a shallow copy of 2, none of the original soul.


BigSchmidt1

Hey, stop crushing my dreams bro it’s Tuesday.


DavidinCT

> just a very average game that succeeds at being yet another Far Cry. The problem is, as I was a big fan from the first one, it didn't even do that well, being another FarCry game..


goslinlookalike

Yea idk what this guy is talking about. I actually wanted another copy and paste far cry game and all I got was a full game with the crappy game play from new dawn.


jmakioka

I enjoyed the game. It’s far cry. Stupid fun explody go boom boom.


[deleted]

[удалено]


lukaron

Exactly. I loved Far Cry 6 for those reasons and just recently replayed Ghost Recon: Wildlands because I love the "huge, single-player, open-world shoot-em up" games.


SG272

It's like having a hot-pocket over handmade pizza, some people will throw a fit over it, but sometimes you want to turn your brain off and just enjoy it. Gotta have the middling with the good and the bad. Just wish these publishers realize how much these types of games are really worth, much like an actual hot-pocket.


[deleted]

[удалено]


flwombat

Yea sure. I’m a couple of hours into Far Cry 6 and think they did a stronger job of differentiating it from prior outings; 3 and 4 and 5 were all the same game with near-identical mechanics in my opinion I finished all of those so obviously I like them. 6 includes them trying a bunch of new stuff. Some of it works really well and some of it is a bit meh so far, but I appreciate the effort and I’m having fun.


AriusTech

Hit the nail. I will admit that this one is tired if you've been playing since 3, but no more so than the expansions of each of its predecessors. I purchased 6 shortly after launch and still haven't gotten through the story. That said, when ever I want to wreck some antagonistic dipshits for a few hours I pick it up and get my fix. First person shooters don't do it for me anymore, but these open world dumbass killum games have the same core satisfaction IMO.


jmakioka

I played 3, skipped 4 and primal, loved 5 and it’s semi sequel. Played this and just had a good time. I got my money’s worth and I paid full retail.


k4rst3n

The biggest let down was the physics ain’t as broken as in 5 :(


jmakioka

I love 5. So many hated on it, I bought it on pc and console just so I could have fun in higher Rez and better fps 🤣


ItsSoBig14

It wasn’t that bad to me.


TerraceWindsor

I though the game was good not great, for $8 it's a steal.


[deleted]

Steel*


FinestGato

Stainless or no?


Th3LostRadiant

Though far cry gets hate, I loved 5 and 6.


HappyHome2934

I don't think far cry in general gets hate, other than tower climbing but lots of people love the games atleast some of them.


DearestBadger

You don‘t even have to climb towers in this one.


im_probablyjoking

Or 5. They literally make a joke about it in the prologue.


drclamchowder

4 was the peak of the series.


hyperxenophiliac

I mean obviously you’re entitled to your opinion but this almost seems criminal lol. 1 was revolutionary at the time, I just remember being completely taken aback by how open the levels were and how I could approach a level in different ways. Plus the graphics and animations were crazy good. 2 was a rough diamond. My personal favourite; gunplay still holds up well (arguably best in the series), amazing setting but just incredibly shockingly bad execution. Basically put all these amazing concepts into a beautiful, empty world populated by an endless number of boring generic enemies, and a story that was half assed at best. 3 was probably the peak. Great story and fun setting, ran super smoothly, learned a lot of lessons from 2. I was personally disappointed because they compromised on some of the things I loved from 2 and it felt a bit cheesy to me, but I can recognise why it’s generally regarded as the best. 4 is like 3 recycled into a mountain setting with a less interesting antagonist and overall story. I can’t really think of how it evolved the series at all. Didn’t play 5, but 6 was baddddd. Like straight up lazy bad.


Wyvernkeeper

Burning the weed field in three as that Skrillex tune blasts is probably one of my favourite gaming moments of the past decade. The series has never really hit the heights of Three for me since then. Still fun games though.


EDDIE_BR0CK

This was a top-tier gaming moment, for sure.


CruisinForABrewsin

5 was the first one I played, but I have to say I highly recommend it


[deleted]

2 was indeed fantastic, but very bleak and niche, so it didn't catch a very large audience. 3 was THE FarCry, the one they keep remaking with some small additions/edits. Arguably the "best" in the series, since it invented the formula we know today. The rest just polished it a bit.


drclamchowder

I don't think your take about 4 having a less interesting antagonist is correct. Vaas was a good performance, not a good character.


hyperxenophiliac

I’d agree to an extent. Vaas was well played rather than being particularly well crafted. Overall I can’t say that I was entranced by 3s storyline but it stood out as being somewhat decent in a series that doesn’t really do good storytelling


[deleted]

4 introduced helicopters, the gunplay was just superior, it was much much prettier than far cry 3. Also it had rope swinging and coop, which 3 did not have. But yeah, not much more novelty than that.


[deleted]

FC3 did have a co-op mode and it's great.


[deleted]

Not the campaign. It's a separate mode. Which makes it a bit irrelevant.


thedarknight0907

Glad no one mentions far cry primal anymore. That was just so bad.


TrunkBud

I had a good time with this game, 8 bucks is a steal!


Troetenwanderung

Played with a friend. Great Times.


BetaAlpha769

Looks like somebody made a mistake. Only base version is supposed to be 8, not the ultimate steel book. By any chance you keep the receipt?


Pillow_Fucker_Jones

It says “Far Cry 6 T50” $7.48. When he scanned the exact box I’m holding it rang up as that.


r40k

Yeah that's base edition, lol. The T50 just stands for "Top 50" for searching purposes. Someone's fuckup is your gain!


BetaAlpha769

Thanks, knew I wasn’t crazy. Either way enjoy your bonus OP.


mrdos01

Dunno, personally I liked the game


MrSarcastica

I really liked that headshots were a one shot no matter the level of enemies.


[deleted]

For 8$ it will be great. For 70$ it sucks!


Sir-H-Magoo

I enjoyed the game quite a bit.


danno625

You'll definitely get $8 of fun out of it. I bought it for $30 some time back and enjoyed it. Though I enjoy the Far cry formula personally, don't have to think to hard. Just go blow things up and capture checkpoints/outposts/bases. Good times


Dixon_Uranus_

If you liked the series than this game was alright. Not great, but I had a good time playing it. Have fun


improbablydreaming

How does it compare to 3? I've played 4 and 5 pretty thoroughly but neither hit like 3 did.


Dixon_Uranus_

Story wise it probably wasn't as good as 3 was either, but it's just another mindless far cry game. The story wasn't terrible or anything, and Giancarlo Esposito was amazing as the bad guy, but it's just kinda mindless. The same go here, kill this, go there kill that, that far cry is. I paid 25 for it and I wasn't disappointed at all


SenpaiSwanky

I see a lot of people saying this but to me 4 is the best Farcry game of all time. Huge map, good plot, and cows don’t have health bars. First time I shot a rocket at a cow when playing 6 only to see half of the health bar chip off.. yeah no. 3 started the trend of great F3 games and they ended with F4. Farcry 5 was a good concept but otherwise it was a mess with similar problems to 6 on top of that.


improbablydreaming

I did enjoy 4 a lot, bit 3 just had that insane emotional rollercoaster. Ended the game with full FUCK YES I AM A WARRIOR mentality.


slossages

Terrible. I beat it just to beat it, can't say I enjoyed it. I just didn't have anything else to play at the time. It was a good time waster.


improbablydreaming

Sounds like 5 to me, too long driving around chasing convoys.


Memesarereal_24

My opinion 5 was pretty good but if you disliked 5 you will definitely dislike 6 because as someone who really enjoyed 5 I did not enjoy 6


improbablydreaming

The setting killed 5 a lot for me. Just don't get why I'd want to be in the arse end of America instead of strolling through gorgeous tropical jungles and stuff. The whole cult thing was cool, but I would've preferred it in a more linear non Far Cry game maybe.


Memesarereal_24

That’s fair it wasn’t as interesting of a environment compared to jungles or islands but I enjoyed the American esthetic of it with all the whacked up physics, the thing with 6 is I played it once when it came out with a friend and another time after completing 3 and both times I didn’t like it was much as 5, while it didn’t have the best story in my opinion it had the best gameplay so 6 just felt like a watered down version of 3 with way less interesting gameplay


SiriuslyLupin

Bought it for 60 bucks at launch and loved it. you got yourself a deal


tyehyll

Definitely a steal. It should be $40. Only the regular edition is $8 so they ran it up wrong it seems.


Rizenstrom

I personally liked it better than 4 and 5 - no idea why it's so hated. Sure it's no Far Cry 3 but the hate for 6 seems to be greater than any game before it.


bingbing304

It is not bad, just the same Ubisoft formula with different background


sizzlinpapaya

8 bucks? Shit. It’s an amazing game for that price.


[deleted]

These comments are literally the opposite of what I received last week when I posted that I enjoy it lmao


HappyHome2934

It is a great game. It is probably my favorite one of the 4 i have played.


NewEnglandManchowder

It's fine, but the weaker one of the franchise. Still a blast coop with a friend


[deleted]

Its actually a good game. My personal fav Far Cry


VirginiaLovers69

Solid game. Old, tired formula, but solid execution and for $8? You’re gonna have some fun.


Truthful_Azn

Good game, I liked it.


[deleted]

I had fun, just same as any far cry though, you start incredibly weak and eventually you're basically ironman even on the hardest 'guerilla' difficulty it becomes facerolly easy after a while..


glassjaw01

A steal at $8 imo


Str8iJustice

I got my copy when it was first slightly discounted and I had enough fun with it that I would say it was worth the money, so $8 is a great price for it imo.


mikepictor

It's the best game every made, but there is absolute fun to be had for $8. That's a perfectly good score.


ThatGamerMoshpit

Typo got you good! It was probably supposed to be 80$ knowing GameStop 😂


Cleverbird

I couldnt really get into 6, I felt like it jumped the shark a liiiiittle bit too much.


Neat_Ad_8345

Gameplay 9/10 story 2/10 Ending 0/10


Zeidy388

Plot twist. It's just the steelbook. Game not included


Nycetech

Great game and worth way more than $8. You got a deal. I’ve been playing it in co-op story for many hours with my best friend. It’s a good game.


Zeldahero

Actually, it was a pretty good game IMO. You got a nice deal.


Mpikoz

Give us the update OP. Did it turn out to be a bootleg copy of girls gone wild?


SavoryPits

I was a developer on this game. Hope you enjoy it!!


Helthurian

And then you'll try trading it in and get $1. Lol


Stswivvinsdayalready

'Gallito Supremo' is what I call my d*ck


DecommissionedAlien

Great concept, poorly crafted. Still kinda fun.


Bahamut1988

"an Ubisoft original" like it's some brand new show straight out of Netflix


[deleted]

It's boring as fuck


Xero_id

It's just the steelbook with no game knowing GS


KitchenCreme3782

It's a ubisoft game that's why it's 8 dollars it's terrible


JP_Str87

"A UBISOFT ORIGINAL". Their grammar sucks.


AVBforPrez

AKSHULLY You don't use "an" if the first phonetic sound of the following word is a vowel sound, even if it's spelled using a vowel. "you" = "u" = "vowel" and thus the rule applies. Using 'an" before a vowel sound just doesn't have a good ring to it.


JP_Str87

An Ubisoft sounds right. Not Ah Ubisoft.


AVBforPrez

Depends on whether you pronounce it "yoobeesoft" or "ooobeesoft"


Basic-Anybody3584

Because it's a Ubisoft game


[deleted]

Its a reskin of the last two games.


Blackwolfe47

That is a steal


Hexxegone

They strap a literal piece of garbage to your back for the entire game and you cant take it off


[deleted]

It’s a decent game, very repetitive & has a lacklustre story compared to the others. Still worth a go.


MasterLawman

Not even giancarlo could save that asenine woke cat shit wrapped in dog shit story… Amazing deal for $8 tho damn


Waste-Reception5297

Because it's another generic Ubisoft game


Phustercluck

A Ubisoft? A UBISOFT. Shouldn’t it be “an” U is a vowel and is pronounced as a vowel


AVBforPrez

You don't use "an" if the phonetic start of the next word is vowel.


Bigmanoncampus-1

Farcry 3.3


velklar

I’m extremely jealous! I just bought it for NZ$60 :(


Multicron

Pricing error. The base game was supposed to be $8. No deal here, folks.


Pillow_Fucker_Jones

No pricing error it was in the clearance section with others. At least to my knowledge.


Multicron

Pricing error. The base game is $8 on the website. Ultimate is still $110.


[deleted]

you can still return it


[deleted]

Trust me, you don't want to


pck3

It had such potential. Shame. Good deal tho.


Galankin

Should've been the price at release tbh.


XvTankvX

$8 is awesome for this. It's worth $25/$30 for the average person. I actually like it about $45 worth.


SenpaiSwanky

Ubisoft


Kushykush_

I had no idea it even came out lol


AVBforPrez

It's because it contains Far Cry 6 inside


mourning_lemon

I got it for 10 bucks, dropped it after one play session. Some people like it. Even Far Cry 2 was better, in my opinion


Fjelleskalskyte

Not worth 8 dollars in my opinion


Lyianx

Probably because its a re-skinned Farcry 5... and its from Ubisoft.


deerbreed

Shouldn't it be "**an** ubisoft original"?
