Ubisoft surprised us during her event Ubisoft Forward a few days ago, by unveiling the Far Cry 6 game where the game was shown in an interesting and exciting way, through a cinematic presentation that is said to be befitting of giant company games such as Ubisoft, and made the players eagerly await them.
But do not forget that the series witnessed a significant deterioration in its disappointing sales during the last parts of the series, whether the main or subsidiary parts, the last of which was the title of Far Cry New Dawn, which received a disappointing evaluation from users on the Metacritic website with 3.7 out of 10 points.
Many fans of the series are afraid of the repetition of the mistakes that occurred in the previous parts, which began to appear mostly from the fourth part of the series, and I do not hide from you that I personally love the series and are afraid of that and do not rule out falling into it again, so what are those things that affected me The series' popularity and low sales, and its players do not wish to return?
Designing random environments
There is a wisdom that many know, and it is (not all that glitters gold) and in Far Cry is not all that is huge good, and I do not know if I can communicate my idea, so Far Cry's worlds are relatively large where the company boasts about the magnitude of the world and exploration part by part, but suffers Among many things, it might make repairing it a more enjoyable experience and boredom away from it.
Few details and neglect of some areas of the map.
Randomness in design, despite the beauty of the game’s designs in general, but sometimes you find buildings attached or scattered in an unplanned manner, the plateaus are attached in an uninterrupted manner, and the distribution of trees and forests where you sometimes feel that the developer was doing (copy-paste) only, in order to complete His mission and preparing for the next part.
Finally, the great variation in graphics quality between regions.
Anecdotal story is better than its predecessors
The first part of the game's story was characterized by classicism and simplicity, and because it was a completely new experience for the players, you rarely find a player who mentions the events of the first part's story badly, while the second part (the best for me), which was politics, gangs and African gold, was a pivotal role in his events that were characterized by ambiguity and multiplicity Its ends.
As there is no happy ending or a sad ending, but all ends feel real, and the real end remains inspired by the player's imagination, so it seems that the initial presentation that was issued to the game during the last Ubisoft event gave some indications that the sixth part of the game, returned to the roots The series specifically to the second part of it, especially with the presence of those political events, worlds and peoples absent from the international scene.
In-game purchases
The greed that afflicted companies recently has become a haggling that haunts a lot of players in a big way. It is not possible to have weapons and some tools that are present, developed and ready in advance within the game, then you can only use them by purchasing points, so did the player purchase the game in full or not? Games are missing?
You can even develop your full skills by purchasing the Boost, which makes you outperform all your enemies from the start of the game. I think it is best to stop completely from exploiting players in order to increase irrational profits.
The character of the evil hero
Far Cry relied precisely from the release of the third to the final main part of the game on the charisma of the evil character who manipulates your psyche and provokes your anger to the extreme, such as the psychologically disturbed character of Vaas montenegro.
Canadian actor Michael Mando who represented Vaas was able to win the award for best new actor in 2013, through his role in Farcry 3, this work certainly helped him to reserve a place for him in the famous series Better Call Saul, one of my best series and that emerged from the most successful series Breaking Bad.
And up to the fifth part, we have the personal figure of Joseph Seed, the religious inspirer and the spiritual father, who I personally considered not to have the effect and charisma required, especially his many annoying conversations and the amount of inconsistencies and irrationalities that we have seen in this part.
As an example of my words, Vaas montenegro's personality from the third part, which was chosen based on the imagination of the director of the game, was not a well-known hero on the level or the artistic scene, where he succeeded in embodying a character who is the deepest in workmanship, creativity and spontaneity (evil) if you will, without flattering or loose In performing the role.
Unfortunately, the Vaas character was the first and last in its quality, and after that Ubisoft tried to exploit the success of the idea and choose a new villain for its fourth part, and here everyone began to notice the signs of decline gradually, by choosing the personality of Pagan, which he considered personally and considered by many players, one of the worst evil characters ever in History of the series.
Today, in Far Cry 6, they are promised a real and well-known character, which is the ideal known to all, Giancarlo Esposito, who appears to be alone to bear the banner of the game’s success in its sixth part or its failure.
Frequent and random side tasks
The fifth part of the game reached a peak in repetition and the side missions were dispersed with the main story tasks in an unprecedented manner, so we can say more precisely that the characteristic of randomness was overshadowed in it so that you will feel many times and during the game, that everything inside the game without studying and checking the amount Interferences that will happen to you from time to time, and starting with the issuance of the fourth part, there is no longer any meaning for side missions within the game, which unfortunately makes you feel that they were randomly placed without interconnection, even in a simple way with the main story of the game.
At the end of this report, I would like to say that I am one of the biggest fans of this series, and I really wish to return it through the sixth part Far Cry 6 with full force and perfection, and with revolutionary ideas that suit the new generation of home entertainment devices ..
It is reported that Far Cry 6 game will be released on February 18 next year 2021 on the devices of the current and next generation and personal computer
