In real life AP rounds go through things meaning they don't cause as much carnage. Hollow points or soft tips break on impact so they cause greater cavitations inside the fleshy mass they find themselves, but against armor or concrete they almost bounce off. That's the basic explanation for a video game balancing feature.
That all makes sense, but in the game armour piercing rounds do less damage to the chaps wearing jogging bottoms and vests than they do to the guys covered in metal plating. That doesn't make sense, right?
@@borangedunn Yeah, Whitelight has pointed out pretty well in his review that weapon and ammo type balancing against different targets is quite weird/flawed.
@@borangedunn The premise is AP ammo will RL pass through flesh undeformed looking for something harder than bone to penetrate. Once it passes through thin metal or ceramic plate the bullet is misshapen and will spawl & tumble causing more damage to the gooey, soft center. But YMMV depending on the bullet hardness and the composition of the armor. If you could "tune" the bullet & weapon to the specific armor you're dealing with you could achieve optimum performance but you'd wind up with a video game with ammo approaching the complexity of Escape from Tarkov.
@@borangedunn In real life ap bullets will rip right through a person causing one long clean tube wound, yes that is still fatal but less so than a soft point bullet that will tumble and break apart inside the target shredding and goring potentially more organs and causing greater damage. This is actually one of the reasons that hollow points were invented. Regular full metal jacket rounds weren't damaging enough to be considered "man stopping" particularly if they were hopped up on a lot of drugs
Yes, but. A AP round to the face is likely to kill you almost as effectively as a softpoint, or hollowpoint to the the face. If it took a extra round or to the the upper torso, that would be fine. But the game exaggerates the difference to the point of lunacy.
Short little addition to the armor piercing/regular bullets. 'Regular' bullets are made from lead usually jacketed with a thin layer of copper. That means when they hit a target they mushroom to do maximum damage. Armor piercing bullets have either a hard core or are solid. That way they don’t mushroom when piercing armor. But when hitting soft materials the just rip clean through doing fat less damage than regular bullets.
My biggest disappointment in this game was Esperanza; i liked the little urban combat we got in this game, but the heavily restricted city environment with vehicle restrictions really sucked. I understand why they designed it this way, I just hope FC7 gives us a full, proper urban zone with outposts, treasure hunts, etc.
I found hanging out at any captured checkpoint was a recipe for endless combat. They weren't trying to recapture but just mindlessly crossing enemy territory which became an ammo depleting exercise with little reward. Fast travel and boogie out quickly with whatever reason brought you there to begin with. :P
You can change the look of what you're wearing while keeping the effect of a different item by inspecting it and then selecting change appearance, It took me a bit to find it as well but the feature is there.
Am I the only whose favorite map is Montana from FC5? It’s so surreal to me to be driving around in modern day America. And the scenery is beautiful. I live in the PNW which is only a handful of hours away from Montana and Idaho. So I’ve been to both locations and they’re all beautiful. They did a great job recreating that environment. Imo tropical jungles are boring. 10000s of games are set in jungles. Very few are set within modern day civilizations. And very few of those games are set in America. I’m tired of jungles
Entertainment in general becomes tainted when association between the Art is paired with anything. As it happens more and more, it also becomes easier to ignore that aspect although it will always remain a footnote on the bottom of our experience.
I like your Just Cause comparison. Overall I enjoyed 6, but I did have a few issues: 1) The game is way to easy. FC games usually have you start out weak, but this game gives you one of the best guns right off as well as a giant missile launcher. The nail-gun-thing is easy to get and has tons of ammo, is silenced, one-shots enemies in the head, and can stun-lock them. I FC3 I was scared of a group of 5 dudes...in FC6 I wasn't even bothered by 5 tanks. 2) I don't think Castillo's people come off as a threat...they are the government and have a full army, but they are never threatening to the rebel group that's made of like 10 kids. Why don't they ever notice that their checkpoints are being taken over by the rebels? Libertad even flies a giant flag to let the government know that they are there! The bad guy not immediately killing you made sense in previous games due to a lack of infrastructure and whatnot, but not here. 3) The DJ couple you have to recruit are annoying and way too emotionally unstable to have anywhere near any operation. It seems like being a good guerilla requires lots of discipline and willingness to sacrifice and follow orders and they can do none of these things. Props to Ubisoft for giving us some trans representation and also reminding us that transfolks can also be insufferable losers, just like everyone else.
hey i just wanted to say i really enjoyed your viewpoint on this title. i enjoyed a lot of parts of far cry 6, and i think it’s a fairly decent title. the world is absolutely gorgeous, there are so many different gear and attachment choices, and the treasure hunts still being included from 5 have so much cool lore and stories to find. i wish they fleshed out the story a bit more, though. it’s not my favorite far cry, but it’s a pretty solid game to me. i recently started a new playthrough on guerrilla mode and the difficulty makes it really fun
Vaas is alive, BTW. As much or as little sense that makes. The voice scene after the credits isn't actually the only time he is featured in FC6. He is also in a proper cutscene - drunk, sleeping in a bar. He is older in that cutscene than in FC3 and his look actually matches how he looks when you finish the FC6 Vaas DLC. Unfortunately, there is a catch: the cutscene featuring Vaas was tied to a Stranger Things crossover mission which has since been removed from the game because the license has run out.
"Also subscribe to the channel for.... unrelated reasons" Hmmmmmm "good soldiers follow orders" subbed Edit: Also that's not Easy Pete, it's is alter ego "Hard Peter"
I heard a Joseph Smith not corrected to 'Seed' so I know when a mistake is 'not' a mistake. Yes, I saw what both Creator and Ubisoft did there. Yes, I referred to Dunn as the 'creator'. :D
I would personally put Primal ahead of FC4, besides that I completely agree with your ranking. This video series has been a treat, and FC is a consistently good and fun IP. I'm about to start FC6 this week. TLDR: Thank you for your time and effort.
And thank you for those kind words! Your check's in the post. And as I said, I think Primal is excellent, but I think it's different enough from the regular Far Cry style that it would be hard to recommend to someone who just finish FC3 and wanted some more of that.
You didn't talk about the Guerrilla difficulty mode. Far Cry 6 is good but the AP rounds and the fact that you can swap your loadout on the fly breaks the 'tactical aspect' of the combat
I still remember vividly rage quiting after a random Bear mauled me in Far Cry 3. 😆 - But for me that's what Far Cry is. Crazy stuff happening to you as you just make your way through the world. That is what differentiates Far Cry open worlds from any other Ubisoft open world - The wildlife and enemies are (at least at the beginning) genuinely dangerous.
@naldormight6420 it is, but the rate you get attacked by wildlife in some FCs is just a bit too much for me personally. On top of that they decided a stupid honey badger can take a billion bullets. It is just annoying.
I liked the setting. Disliked half the characters. The story was meh. It couldn't decide if it wanted to be serious and gritty or daft and light-hearted. The ammo system was dumb, and the clothes giving perks were dumb. The amigo system was dumbed down, and much like you, I haven't felt the need to go and find the others. There was a lack of as you said...chaos. yhw gane is too scripted, too barebones and just not interesting enough to play without turning off at least half my brain. Ubisoft games have begun (started with oddessy and was taken to new heights in Valhalla) suffering from bloat for the sake of bloat. I personally can't keep my interest in this setting for 70+ hrs. Ubisoft has joined EA/BIOWARE, Bethesda, and a few other devs in becoming no buys or wait for massive sales/Gamepass. Love the review, love the channel, and can't wait for more.
I agree that recent games from the big publishers have been lacklustre, and that's clearly down to them being afraid to take risks and wanting to appeal to as many people as possible, resulting in a watered down, broad experience that has some appeal to many but is exciting to no one. Games from big publishers can't take a risk by doing something new, so their only option is to go bigger.
@borangedunn I understand why they make the games the way they do. It's vanilla cake, it's not exciting but it will appeal to the largest crowd. I'm not really seeking a niche experience, but I am expecting to be WOW'ed for the price they want me to pay. I used to love FC, Assassin's creed, etc. But more and more, they rely on bloat, gimmicks, and OTT "fun." As you said, it's a bit like Just cause, but I expect that humour and silliness from JC. Not so much FC. For me, the process should start with the story. Lock down your story and go from their. Dark and gritty? Have some light-hearted, even tender moments. Light and fluffy? Go for it, go daft, funny OTT. But FC6 tries yo go for both and misses. The story on paper is serious. On screen, it left me scratching my head. Characters are dumb, too young (I know I sound old, but teens running a rebellion?...yeah, no.) To inexperienced a character dies during a party and then one or two missions later they through a party in their memory which os also crashed by the army??...I mean it just pulls me out of the experience because I can't sympathise. Empathise with characters that dumb. If all you want to do is switch off your brain and shoot stuff....its an OK game. But it's not worth the price point when there are more games that are better to play while not thinking. I'm glad you enjoyed it as I get that games aren't a one size fits all.
I was soo exited to play Far Cry 6, after i watched your FarCry series and was left so disappointed, that i had to deinstall the game after it was getting harder to push myself keep playing.
I think there is a transmog system in the game. It doesn’t solve the issue with the abilities. But at least you don’t have to look dumb while using it.
@@dmer-zy3rb you're right that the concept is similar but I feel the execution is very different. Far Cry much more closely resembles Crysis than it does any Far Cry game, but Far Cry 2 seems much more closely related to what had now become of the series. Far Cry 1 is a good game, but not one I would recommend to someone who has played, for example, Far Cry 4 and wants to know which entry to play next.
@@borangedunn honestly i love Far Cry 1 (even more than two) mostly because 1 has MUCH better designed and impressive looking levels than 2s tube levels. And the open worlds might be cool, but for a shooter nothing can beat those open, large dedicated levels that only 1 has.
Bro im dying to see a new far cry, hopefully going back to its gritty roots of 2 and the story of 3. Also anothrt hour talking about this disappointing game is a win
Really? After all the tone they have taken, the engine they still kept using, microtransactions, the wokeness you are still dy1ng? It means more trash for the series. GOD HOW CAN YOU BE SO BLIND?!!!!!!!
Thanks for another entertaining and thorough video. I think Whitenoise in their video pointed out that FC6 was just easier overall than other Far Cry games? The detection meter is slower to fill overall, you're more over-powered and, for a supposed Gorilla outfit, the fact that you can respawn cars whenever you need is kinda immersion breaking. I think FC 3 & 4 are enough Far Cry for me personally, but I have enjoyed your perspective on the series.
I've deliberatley not watched any videos on FC6 to avoid other people's opinions influencing my playthrough, but you're not the first to mention Whitenoise, so I'll have to give their video a watch!
Far Cry 6 - where the silent protagonist is finally united with buddies whom can't talk - WAIT! Now the protagonist talks? Caramba! Mission accomplished! Overall the games have done their best to remain independent of each other as convoluted stories overlap convoluted systems creating post modern art in motion. It keeps me busy in a world of busy work doing things how I want when it let's me, and knowing I don't have to care about any of the NPC's tends to make them more endearing. New Game Plus is always welcome, turning a 30 hour slog into a 10 hour mass murder spree in the name of freedom.
Seems a common theme - missed opportunity - that is both understandable yet disappointing. One needs to commit to 'living' in these worlds or scour the internet beyond reason with modern games to see it all personally.
1:01:36 I think the only really controversial part of the ranking is putting Far Cry 2 so far up. 😆 Shows how much presentation, artistic vision and a compelling story can elevate a game. - My ranking would be: Far Cry 3 and 4 share first place, Blood Dragon, Far Cry 2 and Far Cry 5 last. That one did just not click.
I'm with ya, but armour piercing rounds will not do more damage than a soft target round, assuming the same caliber. An FMJ, full metal jacket, round will just punch a hole, whether it be through a hardened surface or just soft meat. An Anti-Personnel round is designed to split into fragments upon impact, but it will never punch through an armored surface, but if all it does impact is meat, it will do devastating damage. This should be common knowledge. Have you never played games like World of Warships or Tanks? Armor-Piercing rounds in WoW will only specifically work against a highly armored ship like a Battleship because there is the problem of over-penetration, where the round just makes a clean hole doing very little actual damage. 🙄
Nah since launch I was always a fan of 6 (well if where being completely honest I have the same first name as the protag so I felt like I was in the game 💀)
I get that. For my 10th birthday I got given a copy of Full Throttle, where the main character is a biker gang leader who had the same name as me. Best game ever.
Years later still one of the- worst far cry's ever made...hate the wokeness, hate the tone, hate everything about this game. Well maybe not the setting. That's all.
*I was super disappointed in how empty the main city was and how awful the writing was 👎 I knew very early on that it was a game I would beat once and never touch it again* 😍
It seems many people whom Review/Essay on games forget the beginning tends to get the best treatment because of people whom Review/Essay games. It's a self fulfilling prophesy. We notice it with mention of getting the 'best' weapons or in this case - Supremo's - early on. I find every Far Cry has something to offer a person whom likes games in general with my personal favorites being leaning towards newer as technology advances. I had Pong in the 60's so nostalgia isn't the bait some would like it to be.
Ngl everytime fem Dani started singing I locked tf in & sang too 😂. I aint been so attracted to a character since Citra (who looks like Skin Diamond 😏). Its a fun game but I stopped playing for some reason. I cant remember but it mightve been cause it has multiplayer trophies & that killed my want to play cause if i cant platinum it solo i tend to hate the game 🤷🏿♂️ (Dead Island 2 im looking specifically at u). But no FC game has touched FC3 for me personally. U cant beat a gator hiding in this small pool sized hole of water killing a man fishing as i turned my back to walk away, that catching my attention enough for me to go investigate this npc just vanishing into thin air & all I heard was a slight splash... 👀 fucc.. SPLASH - GATOR ROLL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 shit terrified me & gave me the best memory & laugh for many years.
Oh hell yeah, one full hour of my favorite British guy talking about video games

Far Cry 6 is the definition of "here's all the things we cut from watch dogs legion and threw it into a far cry game"
It's good thing to reuse some ideas you cut from the games but not every game
"Bulletproof alarms force you to expose yourself to turn them off, kind of like you with your missus."
An absolutely savage throwaway line!

Danke schon!
FINALLY SOME RECOGNITION! Im calling my Mum, she'll be so proud
I really enjoy hearing someone actually approach these games in good faith and not just immediately saying its all bad because Ubisoft
There's a lot of grey between "absolute trash" and "goat", and I like to think it's worth appreciating.

I mean the far cry games have generally been easy on let's say the medium difficulty. Even people calling Far Cry 2 hardcore, wasn't that hard.
You can refill ammo from enemy bodies by just walking over them.
Man, another banger of a video. Although I am probably the most excited for the farming simulator tier list
I'd need to save up for some sort of farmers hat before I can properly tackle that series!

Actually you do loot ammo from enemies, but its automatic, you just have to get close to their corpse.

It's brought up a few times that Dani is former Yaran special forces, so that might be part of it. But yeah it is a bit weird.

5, 4, Primal, Blood Dragon , 3 , 6. Not played others.
Which way is that order? Is 5 the top or bottom?

Overall the games have done their best to remain independent of each other as convoluted stories overlap convoluted systems creating post modern art in motion. It keeps me busy in a world of busy work doing things how I want when it let's me, and knowing I don't have to care about any of the NPC's tends to make them more endearing. New Game Plus is always welcome, turning a 30 hour slog into a 10 hour mass murder spree in the name of freedom.
i mean the ammo system is kinda weird but truth be told i just played with armor piercing rounds through the entire game
also: changing appearance from armor works now, which doesnt make the clothing system less annoying, but at least i get to look cool

Waiting on a mom joke . . . .
Now you can finally play ubisofts latest FC game: Avatar Frontiers of Pandora
Yes, my quantum computer is on order. :P
so you skipped the Chorizo DLC "The Vanishing"... you should try it ;)
Seems a common theme - missed opportunity - that is both understandable yet disappointing. One needs to commit to 'living' in these worlds or scour the internet beyond reason with modern games to see it all personally.
1:01:36 I think the only really controversial part of the ranking is putting Far Cry 2 so far up. 😆
Shows how much presentation, artistic vision and a compelling story can elevate a game.

My ranking would be: Far Cry 3 and 4 share first place, Blood Dragon, Far Cry 2 and Far Cry 5 last. That one did just not click.
I'm with ya, but armour piercing rounds will not do more damage than a soft target round, assuming the same caliber. An FMJ, full metal jacket, round will just punch a hole, whether it be through a hardened surface or just soft meat. An Anti-Personnel round is designed to split into fragments upon impact, but it will never punch through an armored surface, but if all it does impact is meat, it will do devastating damage. This should be common knowledge. Have you never played games like World of Warships or Tanks? Armor-Piercing rounds in WoW will only specifically work against a highly armored ship like a Battleship because there is the problem of over-penetration, where the round just makes a clean hole doing very little actual damage. 🙄
Nah since launch I was always a fan of 6 (well if where being completely honest I have the same first name as the protag so I felt like I was in the game 💀)
I get that. For my 10th birthday I got given a copy of Full Throttle, where the main character is a biker gang leader who had the same name as me. Best game ever.
There seems to be something wrong with the enemy AI.
What?! No you crazy? Absolutely perfect, excellent AI. How can you not like this?
I wish the game had civilian factions that were pro government, make it more of a civil war with more of a gray zone.
Years later still one of the-
worst far cry's ever made...hate the wokeness, hate the tone, hate everything about this game. Well maybe not the setting. That's all.
Bro, please do far fry instincts, its practically a new game compared to far cry 1
5 is the the second last for me, just above New Dawn. I finished it but it was a chore..
Top three I think are 4 > 3 > 6
Best dlc in the series
It perfected the repeatable content for progression he feared for the main game(s).
200 iq tier list
I think your decimal point needs to go to the left a space or two
*I was super disappointed in how empty the main city was and how awful the writing was 👎 I knew very early on that it was a game I would beat once and never touch it again* 😍
They could set modern far cry in the middle American nation at this current poltical time
Dico and Bam
Far Cry 2 is my least favorite mainline entry. I can't say of the whole series since I haven't yet played Primal or New Dawn.
24:17 *empathize …. Sorry
Replay with the male dani .. much better
To be honest with ya I think far cry 6 is much better than far cry 5
It seems many people whom Review/Essay on games forget the beginning tends to get the best treatment because of people whom Review/Essay games. It's a self fulfilling prophesy. We notice it with mention of getting the 'best' weapons or in this case - Supremo's - early on. I find every Far Cry has something to offer a person whom likes games in general with my personal favorites being leaning towards newer as technology advances. I had Pong in the 60's so nostalgia isn't the bait some would like it to be.
shoutouts should be at the end of a video or not at all. in the middle is just cringe
Mate this entire channel is cringe, haven't you been paying attention?
What a 🤡.
Nah sorry but it nothing like just cause and it is the worst far cry game so far
i disliked how annoying the characters where
A comment
Nah dis game sucks play farcry 123 blood dragon, or just cause 123
Far cry 6 is poop hated it!
Ngl everytime fem Dani started singing I locked tf in & sang too 😂.
I aint been so attracted to a character since Citra (who looks like Skin Diamond 😏). Its a fun game but I stopped playing for some reason.
I cant remember but it mightve been cause it has multiplayer trophies & that killed my want to play cause if i cant platinum it solo i tend to hate the game 🤷🏿♂️ (Dead Island 2 im looking specifically at u).
But no FC game has touched FC3 for me personally. U cant beat a gator hiding in this small pool sized hole of water killing a man fishing as i turned my back to walk away, that catching my attention enough for me to go investigate this npc just vanishing into thin air & all I heard was a slight splash... 👀 fucc.. SPLASH - GATOR ROLL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 shit terrified me & gave me the best memory & laugh for many years.
