Far Cry 4 review round-up: Ubisoft's sequel earns mountains of praise - CVG US
little early to have final opinions I think...
Gotta disagree with you on that one, Riddick. on the contrary, when publishers withhold their games from review prior to release day, it's generally because they expect reviews to hurt their sales. If they're handing out the game a week or more in advance, it shows they have confidence in their product.If the game wasn't released yet then most of "journalistic" reviews are bought.
Wait for comments from actual gamers.
What I'm worried about is Ubisoft making this series an annual franchise. I loved 3 and blood Dragon but I don't want to see it go that way.
I read a review somewhere which says it's pretty much Far Cry 3 except a different setting. It's apparently also not a new generation game so the graphics are probably the same. I'm not complaining. far Cry 3 was good fun.
I can't see how this can be a "bought" reviewer.
Spoiler:crafting is the same
hunting is the same(elephants, rhinos, snow leopards and eagles are new)(you have to kill them to craft some gear )
you get a wingsuit
vehicles are the same(although you use the left analog stick for driving and steering) plot is very similar,
outposts are the same
bad guys and good guys look very similar(red outfit bad guys, blue and yellow good guys)
it still has the knife guys and the molotov guys
buying/selling is the same(they threw in traveling vendors you can meet in random spots)
Spoiler:It feels very much like Far Cry 3, and the developers even said they thought about making 3.5 and then decided to start fresh with 4, I guess they did actually make Far Cry 3.5).
Some new stuff is there but not much, you get this grapple tool for climbing certain areas and some new weapons, you can ride elephants and there are new enemies like the hunters, that use bows and wolves to attack you
I see your point.
I gotta say I'm not a big Ubisoft fan as they seem more keen on making a quick buck than developing an awesome product.
I mean FFS, instead of releasing half a dozen half baked assassins's creed games, they should take a page out of rockstar' book and properly develop a high quality product like the GTA stuff.
You don't see a GTA, MGS or naughty dog game every year for good reason.
Good games take time to make. Lots of time.
Yeah thats why I love their games, they put a LOT of time and effort into making good games, while others only care about maximizing profit(Ubisoft and EA being the biggest culprits of that and whoever makes COD)
Any verdicts on this?
