It's basically a Ubisoft game, isn't it?
I played Far Cry 4 like two weeks ago.. and a lot of the gameplay seems very similar.. that's not a bad thing per se, just an observation..
The setting/environment is what make this game shine.
Well, the enemy detection indicator is straight out of Far Cry, so there's that. I didn't see much else that reminded me specifically of Far Cry. Lots of things reminded me of other open-world games, but that's the nature of open-world games at this point -- they all remind us of each other.
I watched the rest of the presentation, and it was good. They presented the game perfectly -- low key in tone, no hyperbole, just a straightforward coverage of what gamers care about -- exploration, the world, the combat, and a few extras. Nicely done.
I look forward to hearing more. I haven't genuinely enjoyed a game for about two years, so I'm hoping this will bring me back.
