Far Cry 6 has been announced and will star Giancarlo Esposito, the main villain from Breaking Bad. Giancarlo was one of the best parts of Breaking Bad, so I am really excited to see him in Far Cry 6.
There isn't a lot known about Far Cry 6 outside of the main villain and the fact it will be released in February 2021. There is however one thing we do know that is kind of disappointing, 4K support will only be on the Xbox and not on the PlayStation. As a PlayStation owner, this really sucks, but I will be getting it on PC so it doesn't affect me, it is just disappointing.
Since a lot of Far Cry 6 isn't really known, I want to tell you why Far Cry is such a great series.
I didn't play Far Cry 1 or 2, they were too old for me to really get into it, so I started with Far Cry 3. Far Cry is a massive open-world game with an amazing unique story in each release. Far Cry games involve a lot of animals as you are forced to hunt to upgrade your gear like ammo pouches and quivers.
While animals are not a big deal in most games, in Far Cry they can be brutal. It is very easy to be taken by surprise when attacking an enemy camp only to have a tiger hit you from behind.
Far Cry has tons of weapons allowing you to choose your playstyle and loadout. Most will always carry a bow for when hunting animals and taking out outposts in stealth. I tend to prefer a mix of silenced weaponry and tactical ARs. Most games I tend to focus on no-kill stealth gameplay but Far Cry is just much more with some gunplay.
One unique feature of Far Cry is being able to call in support to take out hard targets. I don't typically use this feature, but it is fun to call in reinforcements and have them assist you in taking over a busy outpost.
Far Cry has fantastic villains that are flamboyant and intense. I'd even go so far to say Far Cry has some of the best villains in gaming.
Far Cry 3
Far Cry 4
Far Cry 5
Each of these has a deep story behind them and you are forced to make game-changing decisions throughout the game.
Far Cry is loaded with vehicles you can drive around the huge landscape, often while taking fire.
If you haven't tried Far Cry, you can likely get Far Cry 3 cheap on your favorite platform and give it a go. It will likely take you by surprise at how good it is, especially the story and atmosphere.
Really excited to see Giancarlo Esposito in Far Cry 6 and the epic story they put him in.
