A remake of 2 with the QoL of New Dawn would be insanely good

So I’m nearing endgame, have upgraded Prosperity completely, and have put some serious time in regrinding outposts, and I gotta say... I really like New Dawn. It doesn’t have the atmosphere of 5, but holy poo poo is it just so much more enjoyable to play. And the powers, which I thought would be stupid and ill-fitting, add a huge amount of replayability to tackling outposts. Totes satisfied with the buy.

I have not paid good attention to this game, and I didn't get that far in Far Cry 5 but my favourite parts of that game were under Faith's control where you'd randomly end up high as hell with fun visual and audio hallucination effects. Can you still get high as hell in New Dawn and go around causing high saturation chaos?

Am I correct in understanding that The Judge is the character you played in far cry 5 ? That’s dope.

I’m also to u derstsnd that the flowers in the first game turned into a giant tree, likely via radiation, leading to the fruit? That’s a cool story I guess. Who’s Megan? I’m like wondering who he knocked up to make Ethan.

Someone he knew before he moved to Hope County, according to Ethan. She never came there so who knows what their relationship was like.

Oh yeah I looked it up, I was wondering if it was possibly someone you knew in the last game. Would’ve been something. If I just got the super powers how close am I until the end of the story? I like retaking harder forts. And the expeditions. The companions are absolutely stupid and will die all the time every time. Like, one time Judge just literally stood in a loving fire until he died. Which companion are you all using? Maybe I should go find the dog?

Horatio is a loving beast especially when maxed out: He regularly solos gold elites for me at rank 3 outposts. He also rolls around in flowers and naps during downtime; what more can you ask for.

You're 2/3rds through the main story but the meat of the game is all side stuff. I've done 2/19 expeditions and only like 5 outposts by the time I got to there.

I just stand around in the outpost while he finds all the bad guys and destroys them. And then pet him and tell him he's a good boy. A good boy that has murdered hundreds of Highwaymen.

Nana is great if you want to stealth EZ mode Outposts.

Nana has some of the worst commentary, though.

Nana is basically a literal cheat code built into the game Like even more so than Grace was in 5

I do question the decision to gate the super powers behind three incredibly boring missions. I held off on doing the first one because the game hadn't really sent me to that entire half of the map, then after the first one was so boring I did a bunch more other stuff, so by the time I got the powers I was like "well god drat would have been great to have these 10 hours ago"

I'll be honest outside of the double jump I barely used the powers at all

The main storyline is for the most part a bore and the mission design is easily where the smaller budget shows.

I beeline to the super powers because it was the only thing that caught my attention about far cry it made shooting and clearing out all the outpost super fun and I had a couple of really surreal moments like chasing down a slaver vehicle and foot jumping under the hood of the car and blowing off the slavers face through the windshield.

I'm sure I'm sounding a lot more stuck up than I am but I honestly prefer new dawn's no-story to 5's lovely story. The story of new dawn is very clearly "go do outposts and expeditions and build your town up" At some point some things happen such as getting super powers or killing those cool twins but since nothing that happened affected anything in terms of the narrative, or the characters, I consider those incidents more than story. It's honestly kind of brave and I'm surprised by how it works. Ubisoft is failing their way upward until one day they make a far cry game that's their version of Alan Clarke's Elephant, just long scenes of violence presented without commentary that indicts the user simply by choosing to interact with it and by ignoring it's real world inspirations. New dawn is so, so close. The Division 2 might get there if it didn't hide it'self cowardly in politics. Come on, ubi. You have like one franchise that has one thing to say, and it says it pretty well if annually. Let loose with your other ones. Embrace pure, context-less violence. Stop even pretending to care about a narrative, I promise you the resulting game will be an artistic masterpiece. Digital Osmosis fucked around with this message at 15:16 on Mar 12, 2019 |

Thom12255 posted:I hated Far Cry 2 on release after being pretty hyped for it after Crysis came out. Tried it again last week, got into Act 2 and was pretty much done with it with half the game still to finish. It's honestly too much of a bore to enjoy, though the graphics hold up decently well for a decade on. Though the limited memory requirements of that era stand out insanely badly now, the whole map is just a series of corridors with cliffs around to stop you having much freedom. The sequels are much better experiences. The what seems like almost instantly respawning enemies in an area you cleared is super loving annoying in 2 as well, and there is zero stealth cause they spot you anywhere if you get close enough. I think a lot of people have nostalgia glasses when it comes to 2.

Looks like this game is on sale for 50% off. Is this a good buy for someone who played 5, hated the story, forced abductions, and limited weapon selection, and is pretty much just in it for the co-op shenanigans?

I like the expeditions and base building of New Dawn but 5 is the better game. Double jump should be in every game forward though. Somehow.

I didn't mind far cry 5 as much as most people, but it definitely wasn't worth 60 bucks. Getting it on sale would be a decent buy. It has one of the best video game soundtracks ever made, something that was a huge step back in New Dawn.

So I have replayed the Durgesh DLC from Far Cry 4 probably a dozen times in co-op. The learning curve is really steep but it just distills the things I like the most about Far Cry. Going around the world taking over outposts, starting with no items and a small set of skills, improvising with what you have. I think the game is a lot more fun without money and just finding everything instead. Dying is punished pretty severely but the risk makes it more exciting I feel like. Does anyone else feel this way or is it mostly just hated?
