After what happened with XDefiant, I am sunsetting playthroughs on some Ubisoft titles I feel contributed to the death of that game. This game series as much as I enjoyed 3 and want to play the others, didn't help with gamer burnout.

Read moreFar Cry 6 is Worth Playing at least once if you've played any of the past games. The story and the setting are actually really good, and I liked how the story turned out. the reason I gave it a 3 out of 5 is because Far Cry games are a reskin of the previous game with minor changes to the story. The way they capture the Hispanic/Latina culture was interesting in a good way. One of the things that annoyed me is the music selection, the songs were nice, but I wish they would have added more or given you the ability to add songs via some app process similar to GTA online. Easy work around is to turn off the music and play your own though. After you play the game and beat it, they give you a little extended play by expounding on the military of the dictator still being relevant, this was a nice add on for those who want to stick around for a little while. Honestly, I would love to see Far Cry 7 just to see what story they make, at this point that what I look forward to is just the new atmosphere and refreshed story they tell. Worth playing just be prepared to kill any and everything.

After 3 or so hours with Far Cry 6 I'm finally off the 'tutorial' island and exploring the main map. I've had fun with almost every Far Cry game I've played since FC2, the social political themes are really interesting, the characters are usually great, and the environments are gorgeous. I'm loving the Cuban inspired culture that's shining through the game too. The voice acting work is fantastic. I should probably switch to Spanish if there's an option in the audio settings!
FC6 is no different to its predecessors in many respects. This time around we make a return to the jungle-like environments last seen in FC3 and it's as beautiful as ever. Fire spread is still here, pulling bullets out of your arms is still a thing, and brutal melee takedowns have stuck around too. There's leaders to take down, vehicles to drive, and inevitably some involvement with drugs.
I always enjoy the discussion that Far Cry brings up via its narrative. This time around dictatorships, oppression, manipulation, and importantly the power of people working together as a collective.
Some minor things that have annoyed me so far is how enemies are a bit bullet spongey. The addition of ammo types and enemy weaknesses also complicates matters a bit and personally I'm not a fan of it. There's also the addition of supremos which are Powerful weapons with abilities that I'm yet to even bother using. Another small thing is how harvesting animals isn't an animation anymore, it's done automatically which could be a positive or a negative depend on your preference. Seems like I can no longer throw meat either to attract predators which I'm a bit sad about. Used to amuse myself by throwing meat at my co-op friend and watch as a bear ran up behind them... But yes animals are here in all their glory, always impressed by FC wide variety of fauna
Speaking of co-op I haven't tried it out yet but I suspect this is where the game will shine! Viva libertad!

So, Amazon Luna just launched in Canada and it turns out you can import your Ubisoft Connect library to Luna and play your games through that! Tried out Far Cry 6 for a bit via their Mac app & it's about as good as Google Stadia was. A pretty good option for those who miss Stadia if it's available in your region & you can get behind the channel model (or if you just have Amazon Prime & a shit ton of games on Ubisoft Connect)! Not something I'd use all the time, but definitely nice to have if I want to play some Far Cry, Ghost Recon or Assassin's Creed during my commute!
Note that if you bought an Ubisoft game on Steam, it won't show up here (ex: I have Rainbow Six Siege & The Division on Steam and those were no shows when I linked my Ubisoft account to Luna). Ubisoft games purchased on the Epic Games Store seem to work fine though (ex: I have Far Cry 6 & the recent Ghost Recon games on EGS and those showed up on Luna just fine).

Getting loot for following a small dog around is too cute. 10/10 would fetch quest again.

Stealth gameplay without quick saving is fundamentally unsound. Punishing careful melee takedowns by forcing you to redo the entire encounter, even the scouting, after failing once is not fun or engaging. I know the stealth approach is ultimately optional, but it's my preferred playstyle in theory. I just can't stand being asked to replay content. It's a video game pet …

I know the stealth approach is ultimately optional, but it's my preferred playstyle in theory. I just can't stand being asked to replay content. It's a video game pet peeve. Hair trigger failure states are the reason I can't get into Metal Gear Solid. I think the more "intelligent" AI makes the core gameplay loop more annoying than it has been in previous games. The only thing saving this from being the worst modern Far Cry is the fact that Primal exists.

Read moreWhy the hell would I want to play as Joseph Seed in DLC for Far Cry 6? Vaas makes a tiny bit of sense, but only barely. Ubisoft is really n this weird kick where their DLC doesn't expand the base game, it's just a way to sell smaller self contained games. Which conceptually appeals to me because I hate bloated games, and I like weird experiments. But Ubi is really saving me from a lot of what feels like unappealing content. None of the DLC for Immortals: Fenyx Rising seemed too interesting, nor does the DLC for Far Cry 5 (Vietnam, Mars and Zombies?) and playing as three of the antagonists from previous games simply feels ill-fitted to the story and experience of Far Cry 6. Makes my life easier because there are no on-disc versions of the DLC, so don't feel like I'm really missing out.

What is with Ubisoft’s desire to turn every game they make into a Game as a Service?

After completing the game I’m faced with a new weekly activity, recapturing checkpoints and military outposts from insurgents. I’m told that every week insurgents capture a region and I then have to liberated everything all over again. And this nets me a currency I can spend on a limited slate of items, that are naturally on timed rotation. God damn contemporary AAA gaming sucks. The majority of the time I enjoy completing a game and moving on. I’m not here for an endless cycle of repetition.

Not that I’m surprised by all the bugs, but the latest is a Ui bug that pops up every once in a while that results in the mouse pointer completely disappearing making it impossible to select items in the menu or even accept missions. Like many other bugs, closing and restarting the game is required.
