So........did they completely change up the game or something? Because this seems alot different for some reason.
 
So, is this game good? Kinda reminds me of Star Wars Outlaws in terms of a sorta redemption ark.
I only played the game at release so I don't know if the gameplay got better with updates, but the story is deadly boring. So much that I couldn't finish it.

It's beautiful tho so there's that but once the "wow" factor is over, there's nothing interesting left. If you play on PC take Ubi+ so at least you can try other games.
 
James Cameron is like one of the only people on Earth that legit intimidates me. Dude has zero fucks to give. Dude would BE Vegeta if he had the power, lol. I believe James Cameron would threaten to destroy the Earth if he had power over us. The only thing holding James Cameron back is him obtaining power.

I'm not a fan of Avatar. I saw someone criticizing it and he responded, and I'm paraphrasing, that basically all the money the movies had made would disagree with their assessment.

This man does not give a fuck.

So when I say I have not played this game yet, it's because I'm intimated by a man who broke the world record for deepest solo dive ever before he filmed Avatar.

I'll kick his butt in 1v1 irl.
 
They added 3rd person mode 6 months ago.
Huh? It wasn't available until this update. They added it internally but not for playing with.

I loaded my save again today to see third person in action and it's a game changer.

This game on ps5 pro using amd fsr3 over pssr in quality 60fps mode is stunning. Top 3 best looking console games easily.

Animations and traversing the world in third person felt like what this game was missing.

I'm in the middle of BG3 and DoS2 side by side so I'm not going to add this into my current rotation yet but will be next on my docket.

Is this a free expansion? TLDW . . . I grabbed this game from the bargain bin.
Nope. They had a season 1 pass with two expansions of content, and this new one is a $25 expansion I believe related to the new movie coming out. Same factions parts of the world etc?
 
I've been playing since the 3rd person update they did a few weeks ago with a buddy co-op. I gotta admit, I like it quite a bit. It is a stunning game, mechanically it's pretty safe and follows a familiar Far Cry formula, but it puts a lot more emphasis on gathering and crafting, which thematically fit pretty well with the franchise. I'm not quite done with the main story, but it seems pretty boring and trite in general, doesn't diminish the fun I'm having with the game. There's something pretty magical in traversing across giant trees, waiting for the right time of day and weather condition to harvest a plant while avoiding predators and RDA on the forest floor. It's a cool time. They nailed the art direction and technology.

Way better than I was wanting to give it credit for and I'm glad I picked it up. Looking forward to getting to the dlc's and then eventually From the Ashes content.
 
I bought the game at launch and while I had fun in the 15-20 hours I spent with it, the game just felt like something was missing. I couldn't quite place what I was feeling. Maybe this third person update, of which I was not aware, will give me that little bit of motivation to wrap up the play through. I usually restart new games if I invested significant time on a run but did not finish. Once I get everything flowing good and a grasp of what I am doing and where the story is going, I will drop my new run and pick back up with the original play through and then make an effort to complete the game, unless its a situation where my new run is looking optimal compared to the previous play time.
