      My favorites are 2 and 3, I replay them both occasionally. 4 was OK. 5 was garbage. Haven’t played 6.

      • FC2 because of the kind of “horror” element being thrown into a oppressive and immersive open world.
      • FC3 because of the gameplay overhaul and the brilliant storytelling.

        2 was a bit repeptitive and rough around the edges for me, but still a ground breaking game.

        3 is my favorite, also one of my all time top games, though I haven’t replayed a while.

        4 is just 3+ in my opinion, so good but not unique.

        I was surprised that I liked 5, I expected not to.

        6 is quite bad, you are not missing anything.

      I guess I should play it then (and 2, judging by the replies). The only one I’ve played is 4, which has some really fun gameplay, and one of my favorite villains ever, Pagan Min. I didn’t care much at all for the overall conflict or most of the other characters. What kept me going was taking out the outposts, climbing the towers (until it got repetitive), hunting, and flying around in that dinky little helicopter.

      Guess I gotta replay that one too now…

    Cool, FC3 doesn’t even launch on my PC because my CPU core count is too high.

      Funnily enough, this is the type of issues proton solves beautifully and transparently on linux, making it a great gaming platform in general but particularly so for aging video games! If you own this game on steam, just launching it on linux should work out of the box.

    I still remember playing this game, after purchasing it on Steam, then it launched uPlay to start the game. And randomly drops connection during playing to uPlay, not saving any progress, shutting down my game. Steam was still online, everything else worked.

    After two minutes uPlay logged back in, so I restarted from last save, lost like 30 minutes of unsaved stuff. So I get to it, and whatdoyaknow, it drops AGAIN.

    Uninstalled the game, and never bought anything from Ubisoft ever again.

    Fuck that company. And I still love Prince of Persia Warrior Within.

    The definition of insanity: continuing to run your game company horribly and expecting different results.

    The only FarCry game I ever played is FarCry 3: Blood Dragon DLC, that was launched as a separate game later on Xbox 360. Good memories. :-) If that counts as FarCry 3, then I agree, its the best game in the series. wink
