FC5 was very interesting, but I definitely lost interest after that.
I think 5 is my overall favorite from the series but 4 is probably the most "far cry" of all the far cry games. I really did not enjoy New Dawn or 6 at all. I actually had to force myself to finish 6. I kept starting it and losing interest after like an hour. I went back and played 4 and 5 again after I beat 6 just because I felt like I needed to wash out the bad taste 6 had left in my mouth.
4 is what got me into the series! I agree it fit most with the previous titles. Good on you for finishing the game. I played a couple hours and never opened it again.
You didn't miss out on much. I think 3,4 and 5 is the perfect "trilogy" of far cry games. I love 2 and blood dragon, but they just aren't the same as those 3 strong games.
I liked New Dawn more than I thought I would, played coop.
Really? The coop was the most frustrating part. Only the host can get the super powers? You gotta play the whole game basically twice on both people's saves in order for everyone to have super powers. That's just lame and poorly designed coop.
It didn't bother me I was just sightseeing old FC5 locations and shooting bad guys.
5 was cool but I think I got whiplash from how hard the ludo narrative dissonance hit me. At this point I don't even think they realize why FC3 was so well received (which a snarky french games journalist was already joking about when it came out)
