Far cry 2 was the best game. Far cry 3 had the best story. It’s not because of Vaas, but because of how wild the situation is in rook island in general and the web of abuse that made the plot much more interesting.

>Far cry 3 had the best story
On paper, but Far Cry 3 has that common issue of video games where story is a thing that happens in cutscenes in between gameplay segments. Like Far Cry 2 themes of morality, nihilism, violence and imperialism are so deeply intertwined with gameplay, it is not afraid of making player miserable to get the point across. Interchangeable factions, pointless missions, respawning outposts, random malaria attacks, unhelpful allies, all serves a narrative purpose.
Far Cry 3 similarly deals with themes of violence, civilisation and savagery, and transformation, but the gameplay is just generic action man shooting bad guys and picking collectibles.

Yeah, FC2 was absolutely the best game, the formula became stale starting from FC3

FC 2 is fire, but it's really annoying how many enemy outposts there are, and how enemies don't stop showing up after you kill all of the enemies of an outpost. You can't walk a meter without getting shot from every direction, it's so annoying…

And also, it's so weird how characters deliver their lines in FC 2. They talk really fast and in a robotic manner. I found it really hard to pay attention to what they're saying because of how weird they talk, and then suddenly I have no idea what they're talking about. I have no idea what's up with the voice acting in FC 2.

I don’t think the game has too many outposts. The developers just don’t do a lot to encourage the player to fully explore the map

>>41014
On average you have to pass through one or two outposts on a way to a mission. Planning the safest route to your objective is part of the game.

>>41016
No. Far cry 2 has a massive map and the devs don’t encourage the player to explore any of it. You can choose to ignore nearly all the outposts pretty easily unless it’s a requirement to complete a specific mission.

>>41017
There are diamonds and tapes scattered around. And the map might be big, but most of it is basically made out of wide tunnels. If there is nothing you need in the outpost, then yes, you should ignore it.

OP, why do you think that far cry 5 is the best game

>>40920
My favorite is the one with the dictator who's actually your dad

Pagan was really charismatic, but I still hate him as a person for what he did

>>41035
It's the tightest mechanically, is the most accessible for a series newcomer, and has the best expansions, a la Hours of Darkness. Arcade is very good too. Main character doesn't talk. To each their own, sure, but he's objectively right.

>>41059
I'm still mad they didn't do a second campaign where you join him and fuck shit up.

Once you get a helicopter with machine guns, or machine guns in general, the game becomes the easiest far cry to date.
There was not a single interesting character in it, but is set in America so maybe its supposed to be that way.
FC3 and FC4 are the last good modern far crime games, everything else tried to revive the vass archetype and failed miserably to the point of having him come back in FC6, another garbage FC.

FC4 had the best gameplay and map

I only remember Clutch Nixon and he isn't even in the game, just mentioned
