    Seems like an unpopular opinion but I actually like the Far Cry formula. It’s the same gameplay loop with different maps and weapons and that’s all I really ask for because I know what I’m getting is something that I know I enjoyed and will enjoy. I don’t play Far Cry to experience some innovative gameplay, there’s other games I look to for that.

    I already wasn’t a fan of the changes to Far Cry 6 and these changes don’t seem like a Far Cry game anymore so I’m a bit disappointed if these are true.

      There’s literally dozens of us! I for one loved far cry 5. 6 I really didn’t like because of the whole home built attachments/guns stuff since I’m a gun nerd and love using real guns and sights in games. Definitely not crazy about this news.

      The biggest thing I didn’t like about 6 was not being able to get into the final boss’s city by air, even after he was dead. Felt really limiting and like the game wasn’t finished.

    Bring back Far Cry 2 you cowards!

    You set out to accomplish something and everything goes wrong.

    Also Far Cry 5 is the worst entry, overrated, and Far Cry 6 is overhated.

      I bought Far Cry 2 for $5 at a Blockbuster going out of business. Didn’t play it for about a month, when I gave it to a friend who had a playstation.

      We didn’t expect the absolute masterpiece.

    Something a lot of people miss (and actually Far Cry 6 forgot/discarded) is most Far Cry games end with a very deconstructive and sad message towards the violence you’ve achieved through the game.

    They tend to miss since people that care about writing skip these games. I’m curious what they could do with it though.

    Thank god.

    I was so disappointed at the mechanics they brought in with FarCry 3. The ability to tag an enemy and have them be visible through walls until they’re dead is ridiculous. I was horrified when I saw it repeated in 4, and then realized it was a permanent part of the franchise.

    FarCry 2 is one of my favorite games.
