Far Cry New Dawn Review "Buy, Wait for Sale, Rent, Never Touch?" 

Good, I only watch IGN reviews just to have a laugh.

to be fair, most people probably just go to igns website for the review.

ACG speaks the truth. He never gets it wrong.

Still disappointed on them not reviewing the kingdom hearts 3.

@@Jbucher1992 Found the employee of IGN, go pedal your lies & bias reviews elsewhere.

I know right.

Piercings and tattoos have been around a lot longer than antibiotics lol

@@DMKA94 Doesn't mean they were a good idea back then either.

Raw crushed garlic is still a powerful antibiotic to this day. Alcohol or steam are still the best way to sterilize....

Haha yeah, not the best idea

Iattacku so true lol it’s sad i miss the days of far cry 1-3

Granted this is a story expansion.

Ubisoft has left the chat

Just make 1 game in 2/3 years. And make it great.

I actually enjoy that they make so much ac games

Yeah, FC4 was a snore fest, FC Primal was extremely lame and I didn't even try FC5 and I'm not going to. Nothing new, same old shyte. FC2 and FC3 were the best in my opinion as FC2 was a huge improvement on FC and FC3 was a bigger improvement still. They stuck with the FC3 formula since 2012 now and it's getting boring.

Yasha I thought you were going to say it’s time to Dual lol

I would love a Far Cry: Secundar, a story during the building of pyramids, but survival type, and not COD type. However, I would welcome more a different game, like Far Cry rpg type in outer space. They could totally make it, but hard to say how successfull they would be.

It was time for Far Cry to take a break after FC 3. That was the last time the game has truly changed. From FC 1's cheesy dialogue and terrible shooting to roaming through Africa fighting against bush fires and malaria in FC 2 with its degrading weapons to the excellent FC 3 with its great villain, cool gun play, and - for the time - more or less innovative open world gameplay. The problem was when they simply repeated the FC 3 formula in FC 4...and then in FC 5...and now FC ND. But they made all those things that weren't super fun about FC 3 (the grindy aspect) even more irritating over the years. There's barely anything new here. You could recreate those games in the FC 3 engine with some modding and have a similar experience. And, well, then there was FC P...which was basically the same again, only without actually understandable voice acting and without guns. It's just like AC and any other Ubisoft game...stick to the same formula and wait till people are so fed up with your rehashed content that you basically HAVE to do something different the next time. But AC is already back on track to being the repetitive thing it was before...just now with different mechanics.

@@BabysitterSky It is for us. But a yearly release means they cannot create a great game. FC3 took almost 4 years to develop

Precisely why I dont like rpg leveling mechanics

Oh tf is an open world arcade shooter >somewhat realistic? Do you mean because these are humans firing mostly modern guns?

don't you know nuclear fallout give you bullet to the face powers?

Far cry has never been realistic.. far cry 2 is the only game that has come close to that. Rest are Michael Bay fest

@@BabysitterSky there is immersion and there is realism. bullet sponges break both. and yes, some people play games for realism.

Good review, but how people can be ok with going to generic base#452 and liberating for the rebels for 8 straight years is beyond me. I played 3 and loved it then I played farcry 4 and had to push myself to finish it because it's the EXACT SAME GAME. I've never made that mistake again, and after watching the gameplay of each following title I'm extremely glad I saved my money.

Watching some of the trailers for it too "With the new farcry there's a whole new approach to competing objectives look here as we show you how you can take over this base by going in stealthy and aslo you can go in guns blazing as well." do you think I have Alzheimer's Ubisoft? We've been doing this same shit for years.

Dude, I dont know if you read this ACG but there is a RU-vidr called SolidSpawn who is stealing your style and format and passing it off as his own. You should report him to the higher ups. Just letting you know as I like your stuff.

But but but it's got nice pink bits!

there was nothing godly about FarCry 3

The irony is that it's a carbon copy of farcry 3 which came out a decade ago.

Far Cry 3 is not godly by any means There was literally no driving force in the story and the two main villains were bitchy pirates College kids sky dive into lands they shouldn’t tread and one of them just so happens to be some Rambo pumped hardass with an itch to kill? Please

What is so good about Far Cry 3? Everyone says Vaas is the best, but you kill Vaas a little over a third of the way through the story. People don’t even remember Hoyt really. Citra is fine, but does not really show how she is a warrior, despite being leader of the Rakyat. It was a game that had you climbing radio towers, which was boring then as it was in Far Cry 4. The map was not really that great in terms of exploration, partly because it was divided through the center. It is island, with a few ruins and shack towns. The only reason Far Cry 3 gets praise is because of its story and its UI/upgrade systems.

Just feels like Far Cry is dead, Primal was the only unique one that may be the best Stone Age game ever made idk.. I really enjoyed it and as did Karak

I miss the days of FC 2

All Ubisoft games are like that now.

@@thechannelthatactuallydoes2866 primal was ass

We need to maximise market penetration and turn the players into payers. Substance and soul gets in the way of all that, friendo. Praise be to divine shareholders, may they reign eternal!

probably why the far cry 2 writer left them.

All games are designed to be inoffensive doofus... but hopping on a hate train sure is fun. Hell far cry 5 had more controversial subject material than just about any game in recent memory

And who do you them to offend. Hmm let me guess.

And in the process their games are an offensive to anyone with a brain and gaming as a whole.

I dunno, it is kinda worrying they seem to want to convince their audience nuclear war is no big deal.

my thanks

Played a bit of farcry 5 because I heard everyone saying it was different than all the other ones. Ha what a fucking Joke go to generic base #452 kill everyone there base liberated. Rince and repeat its like I'm fucking working when I play a Ubisoft game.

Hit the nail on the head there, friend.

Hey bitch, microtransactions are optional, call of duty is the only company that bullies and forces you to buy the microtransactions, everyone else calls it optional!!!

OP is on point. Except about the FC5 thing, story was shyte imo. The only way to win? Don’t play the game.

@@BabysitterSky did you not play or hear about Assassins Creed Odyssey? Or Origins? W/e the newest one is

Same. Exodus is coming out tomorrow for chrissake. I ain't got time for this mediocre shite.

@@Jesse__H Ikr Can't wait for exodus

I'm gonna buy it, but i respect your opinion.

Im buying it and metro exodux for xbox, far cry primal was the best then far cry 3 was 2nd best gamr in the trilogy

Ill pick it up but for a 10ner

is it because you like the color pink *that* much or...?

@@xman777b No, it just feels different and i like the outpost system

Agreed they didn't really take the time to understand the story you kept getting hints throughout the game people kept telling you ."have you ever considered that Joseph seed may be right" and it turns out in the end he was right the apocalypse was coming he didn't cause it.

That makes me wonder, who nuked the US?

@@pugpolice4323 probably North Korea

Pugpolice, good question. I assume there was a gigantic nuclear war, considering the whole world ended. But who started it is hard to say.

Pugpolice You can hear news on the radio, and based on that I'm guessing Russia.

His valentine's to us

Now only if he actually finished the games he reviewed

That is exactly what I said as I was getting into the car today - I was jesus man, take a rest!

These reviews have both probably been ready for a number of days and were both released after the review embargo was lifted. Not that it isn’t an incredible effort nonetheless.

2 big games releasing same day not a challenge for him

Im on the fence for new dawn, but holy shit if its new dawn or rage 2 for you, RAGE 2 ALL THE WAY NO CONTEST. You can tell itll be similar to doom, a tier above new dawn

Same

I might sound Cynical but I dont have any faith in Rage 2. If it's good it will be a surprise but I'm not holding my breath.

Metro Exodus comes out the same day as Far Cry New Dawn, the 15th, that’s tomorrow. No competition I’ll be getting Metro and it’s clearly the better post apocalyptic game. I Loved Metro 2033 and Last Light, I’m really looking forward to playing Exodus.

@@danielhoward2325 Yeah sorry bud once you've run down a linear hall and shoot at bad guys from 2004-2014 you get so fucking bored of that shit you can't play it ever again.

Because they dont really "milk" there IPs. They just produce content which is debately good or bad. Like the only series that could be called milked that ubisoft owns in AC[which they've completely redone] and far cry. Everything else is pretty fucking nice. If you still wanna be on the diminishing hate on ubisoft hate train then go ahead though I can't really stop you

@@foxt.5043 I really liked Child of light from them, but that's it, they've been pretty average on their releases otherwise :/

For Honor is really good tough , people just like to hate it because of its shitty launch but now the game is fantastic

@@maskedvalerian1095 I dont even know what child of light is. That must be one of there lesser known games? I kind of disagree. I liked for honor, siege, origins, oddysey, and division quite a bit. Less siege though. I haven't played far cry before it always looked kind of boring to me.

@@foxt.5043 Yep, turn based RPG, really underrated. Oddysey is decent but have to say Ubisoft is mediocrity otherwise.

buy far cry 3 for about a fiver then and lose yourself whilst saving 15 notes at the same time.

agree

Cool story bro

@@stevenewsom3269 Are you upset somebody doesn't like your game?

DITTO! The FC games have become a prime example of how NOT to do Open World games.

Why does it feel like such a chore to complete Ubisoft games these days? I never felt this during AC 1-4 or FC 2-3 (only FC games I've played)

Haha don't forget the Microtransactions for this DLC single player game

FC5 was the first game i ever bought a season pass for.. Dont think I'll ever do it again. If this was in it, i probably woulda been satisfied tho.

Needless to say.. I'm definitely not spending 40 more dollars for something that shoulda been included.

@@lifeimitatingdeath3608 should have been included in what you fucking moron? Do You people not realize that it cost money to make this shit like millions of dollars and you're mad because they didn't include 100 or more dollars worth of video game on a $60 disc.

@@davidmcguire6043 You find it acceptable that someone pays over 100$ for a game that is has copies about 70% of the core mechanics of a game released 8 years ago, then they release a reskin of the same map with different textures, hardly good character writing and charge 50$ for it again AND add microtransactions?

Austin J farcry 3 was amazing and felt new enough from farcry 2. Farcry 4cand 5 was a complete rehash it was retarded. Get a new engine, new animations conplwtely, a good character with dialogue, new mechanics.

These are the kind of idiots we have to put up with.

@@custardgannet4836 literally reuses fc5s map same thing they pulled with far cry primal, Ubisoft uses the taco Bell approach when it comes to their games

@@johnmarstonlives Why are you doing this sir? Why are you so mad at me?

@@custardgannet4836 because it looks like you're defending Ubisoft for releasing the same game for 10 years. It's worse than fucking call of duty was.

I actually got ending without the Nuke. My ending had me driving off just to have that possession song come over the radio, which, obviously, had me kill everyone in the car, I assume.

Yep, he was right all along and the koreans sent the first nuke. It's part of the story yet very few people picked up on it

Daniel DeVito Pretty sure the Nuke still happens though, you just don’t see it in that ending

lol

Hey even Battlefield 5 from EA has all maps and weapon DLC completely free Ubisoft charges for DLC season pass and puts consemtic Microtransactions for a mainly single player game.

It’s really easy to unlock the content though.

Just use a trainer and you're golden

They went full ea with AC odyssey already

I liked it quite a bit too. Same with 4 havent played primal though

@@SuperMicklovin primal sucks. It's really boring and there are too many side stories

Loved FC5, love this.

Wanna sell 5?

Why would you play the exact same game on 2 consoles?

YES.That seems to be reduced a lot..but some lone bastard keeps stealing my vehicles! When I go 50 metres from it, I know it's a freindly Npc most the time. Seem to get more wild animal attacks than patrolling soldiers. In farcry 5 would get lots of attention after destroying a vehicle at an intersection and end up with 10 burnt out vehicles blocking the road in the next 10 minutes. Annoying it is. Uses all your ammo when your on your way to do something else. They reduced this in new dawn. Allrhiugh I only played 3-4 hours so far. So far there I seem to see soldiers roaming, before they see me (except for wild animal surprises which are sudden) less road patrols, road presence is mainly random fuel/prisoner transports.

it does happen

Well, they said they're not releasing an assassin's creed game in 2019 so we better hope that Ghost Of Tsushima comes out this year.

Are you sure you want that setting forever destroyed for you? They already did an "okay" game with FC5... next up: shitfests. It happened before...

Linus Newman in first person

Just get Sekiro.

@@TheKueiJin Every game world they did so far was at least enjoyable, most were good. So I doubt that this would destroy the setting. It would have definitely quite a lot of potential. After all there were a lot of huge battles and the country was unified. In general quite an interesting period with lots of important political developments and also the arrival of guns.

Jon I am not sure what’s going on with is it to deal with Mad Max

Not too thrilled about playing the exact same game for 8 straight years either.

conkerlive101 I liked Far cry 5 but I think the next Far Cry game should of been four or five years in development look at Far Cry 3 for example that game took awhile to make and Vas was amazing

@@mitchell3725 you can have a great villain but if your gameplay is just as generic as always the games gonna suck. Farcry 3 was amazing because it was unique and never been done before but they haven't changed that formula once in 8 years.

Joseph isnt the villain in this one though. I hope not at least.

Shouldn't be long after nobody buys this but Ubisoft couldn't pay me to play the exact same game as farcry 3 for the 5th time.

By that time it will be buried by so many better games.

After 5 I wouldn't pay 10 turds for this piece of shit.

I’m buying it for $15 on psn today.

You won't regret playing it.

Didn't realise Insta was big on the post apocalypse scene

Far Cry Instagram 😂🤣 spot on !

The irony is that Metro is another hallway shooter we've all played over 20 times. How are you not bored of doing the exact same thing for over a decade?

Kevin Strom lmao fine buy new dawn instead of Exodus it’ll be your fucking loss not ours! 😭😭😭

conkerlive101 the hilarious part is that the actual components of metro vary drastically from the usual hallway shooter so you clearly have no clue what you’re talking about

Not many people will buy it, guarantee.

Hahahahhaha

If you think of it another way.. Ubi helping your life out by making you avoid their shittier games.

Ubisoft is so far up it’s own ass with those messages about violence, and they think they’re so clever for it. Spec Ops already did all this and in a much better way.

Ah that would rock

Yeah farcry 3 and that's it.

@Java Monsoon imagine paying 50$ for a new gun and the chance to liberate generic fort #452 for the rebels

@Java Monsoon The person is only making a point that the game is redundant and mundane - as is the series for quite awhile now. You don't have to flex your video game resume to make a point. It makes you seem reductive and pretentious. I'm sure that the person won't be buying the game so saying "don't buy it, vote with your wallet" is unnecessary. You've clearly played a lot of things, sure. You're also fine with repetitive titles, sure. You could have just said, "You know what? I'm of the opposing side whom are fine with how the current Far Cry series is. I'll be sure to enjoy this." But to be honest, kudos to you for playing a lot of different genres. Many people stick to their one of two. It's nice to see those who venture into many things.

@@tooblind1731 Your statement 100%. No one seems to be able to casually or constructively disagree anymore. EDIT: Saying "no one" is a bit overdramatic, more like "not many".

@Java Monsoon To be honest I already knew you were going to argue against me using the word repetitve. As with any hobby or anything in general - that word can be thrown all over loosely. My personal qualm with Far Cry or with Ubisoft in general, is that they really are pushing open world games out. That being barren open world games that barely differ from one another aside from theme. The thing about repetition is good game play loop. I too would argue against repetition (I suppose you can somewhat consider me a hypocrite) because I love the hell out of Killing Floor 2 and the EDF series. Hundreds nearing thousands of hours in both. And once you get to that point the only difference is guns or mods. So, essentially it comes down to what is worth it. We've been seeing this kind of Far Cry for many many years now with barely any changes. Then the first big change we see is a lite rpg touch to it. I personally don't mind if they change it drastically. Like what happened to the Zelda series with Breath of the Wild. I would need something bigger than just a bland story, edgy theme, and different guns/characters that essentially the same as before. You make a point about iterations basically having quality of life changes. While I'd agree - the game series I personally play don't just have that. An example of a series of love would be the Yakuza series. There's a bunch more than fixing the jank in that. Also I have dabbled being a trucker and spin tires so I can understand that. I would even argue those games have much more redeeming qualities than this Far Cry, ha. Dry joke aside, I get it. There are gamers who whine too much when changes are made or when there isn't change. Those people aside - it still doesn't change the fact that Far Cry has yet to change in a meaningful way to earn its iteration. More of the same is fine but it can't literally be more of the same, if that makes sense. Appreciate the civil reply nonetheless.

Even blood dragon was boring as shit. The farcry gameplay loop died a decade ago.

overrated bull crap

lol - the map and world does remind me of a paint ball game. I don't care all that much for the map but the gameplay is really good.

I really like the style of the world

Holiday season this year or early 2020.

@@eternalfps3124 hope so

It’s a completely different looking map.

Far Cry New Yawn

SHANTIN CRYP Deadass

Seeing as far cry 5 was absolutely amazing a little bit of reskinning means it's reskin awesome

Metro is a really good game however it is limited with the open world but the scenery is the best I’ve ever seen

it would not unless the receivers were EMP hardened in the game world. And they are not. They are phones. Normal Nokia

Basically after seeing the success of turning Assassins creed into an RPG it seems like they’re turning this into a full blown RPG next. Just wait till the next numbered titles, gurantee it will be like AC Origins.

So...Borderlands...

Diree yep. I just want a stealth game dude. Like the last AC I played was syndicate. I’m not into an RPG AC game. I feel like if they make another Splinter Cell they will just fuck it up making it online only or some shit. But god I miss Sam Fisher and sneaking around.

what bullet sponges mean? i don't know

PlatinumYuri its another bullshit way of gaming companys to say they can guarantee so many hours of gameplay for your money. Lazy programming!!!!

That's pretty much been the standard ever since Far Cry became a free roaming game. Which is why the first one is still the better one, it had a narrative and left you in a semi open world. You can roam all you want in the level, but you have a goal at the end of it. But with these? They give you the illusion of it, and in comparison, the narrative is complete garbage.

Nothing brutal about it. Simple fact.

Are you serious? Farcry 3 came out almost a decade ago and your just realising now that they haven't changed a damn thing in all those years.

Same man, I loved Far cry 3 and still liked Far cry 4 but i found FC5 incredibly boring and sold it after completing first region, it just lost some spark and was utterly boring.

They got rid of malaria. Malaria and broken weapons made the 2nd game 10/10.

The crafting for one... Why the hell did they remove that??

Face full of eyes has brilliant examinations on the far cry games, particularly far cry 2, helped me really understand, and put words to, the things I felt playing that game as a wee egg

In some ways I agree but what game franchise hasn't? Battlefield is not fun any more to me. People raved about GTA5 and RDR 2 but I thought GTA5 was linear and not fun. RDR2 was just boring to me. Both games looked great but there was no fun for me. For some reason I didn't have as much fun with FC4. FC5 & ND are lacking in originality but both are a lot of fun IMO.

Play Far Cry 2 as well.

@@TheKueiJin i did and i like it but still FC3 is best. But sure fc2 is better than 5 and this dlc

And it was not even that good

Loved FC3 and then I kind of lost interest in the series. I played FC4 but I couldn't get into it, I skipped FC5 as it looked boring and I'm definitely skipping this pink turd.

@@ValHazzard yeah you're not missing anything just play metro

ya in many ways it does

agreed

Lucian Stoicescu Far cry V is better then 3 in almost every way. Nostalgia factor is why everyone loves 3.

@@123abc8027 lol seriously??? Better in gameplay but FC3 had better villains better story . And FC5 deleted many animations which is a dumbass decision. It also doesnt explain about the character of the protagonist. A fixed protagonist is better than customisable ones.

agreed its odd

A must play? Not to old school fans no.

Majestic Beardsman Blood Dragon was unique and good, this is shit

@Majestic Beardsman Blood Dragon was a stand alone DLC/expansion and it was AMAZING. It's the one exception, and one worth mentioning.

As opposed to any other game put out lol Every game is designed to be a cash grab
