It's sad how "RPG" has become almost a negative descriptor for a game. I remember when I was growing up, those three letters would make me excited to play a game. Because RPGs would actually be made with those mechanics as the foundation instead of just being slapped on. Now it’s just an easy way to spot if a game is being stretched with filler/to get players to spend more money on a game due to intentional grindy design.

This is inching nearer and nearer into the Just Cause style of gameplay

“Keeping low profile in the capital city”(while firing a minigun

They should make an achievement when you shoot the CD launcher for the first time named "Demonetized"

[legendarycheekymonkey]

Should have called this "things you might need to know but we're not really sure yet."

The only concern I have is that I hope they don't bring back the feature on FC 5 where they forced you to advance the story by magically capturing you once you fill-up a certain meter in each region.

Honest opinion: When I'm shooting somebody with a gun or bow and arrows or meleeing somebody, I don't want enemies to have a health bar and numbers appearing above them


Just make it like Far Cry 3, 4 or 5

FC6: Cockfights

Australian Censors: Ban it, ban it with fire.

The entire video in one phrase: "we dont really know"

[Vypren]

That’s the first game I’m excited about in a long time lol.

I'm really sad that there won't be a map editor.

[pedrol.p.carvalho]

The larger the map, the more bloated the game gets. I just hope that the quest design gets more creative and the AI gets better.

It never bothered me having a quiet, peaceful area after liberating it in Farcry 5. I enjoyed the peace with other activities like hunting, fishing, or simply enjoying the views & ambient sounds. There's more to games than shooting and killing.

The best preview video I’ve seen in a long time. Awesome breakdown, brother.

Yeeah I'll definitely wait. Seems to be a trend for games to not deliver nowadays.

[Niko-brql]

thank god the story is told through cutscenes with a protagonist who talks. I hate the first person perspective with a mute protagonist who doesn't even react to literal murder in front of them.

"What you'll always be doing in a far cry game is clearing out enemy outpost" - Falcon

"What you'll always be doing in an open-world Ubisoft game is clearing out enemy areas"

Let me fix that for you.

It's like they forgot to innovate when it comes to open-world content

[alicevibrant]

I hope there's a breaking bad Easter egg in the game.

I'm not so sure about getting it now that the map editor is gone. For me part of the fun was taking a break from the main game, going into the editor, turning on invincibility and infinite ammo, and then screwing around with everything.
