Many years ago me and an old friend co-op’ed Ghost Recon Wildlands, hands down a great game minus the third person perspective, soon after we moved on to Far Cry 5, it felt familiar, like GRWL but published, less outrageous pop in anyway since feeling burned by Stalker 2 I’ve put a couple of hours back into Far Cry 5 and honestly its still great, looks good, runs amazingly with a game loop thats fairly casual. I have however noticed some bits have changed, the cash shop for one is somewhat front and centre, the added guns and skins and cars look silly af, there is also DLC (I have get to delve into that) anyway I find myself surprised that Far Cry 5 lacks mods, anyway I’m wondering why is there so few, Far Cry 5 would make for a solid base for similar concepts like Anomaly, or Fallout London where they overhaul the story to make something for old players to cling on to.
It might be obvious but I don’t play many UniSoft titles, the ones I have played have already been mentioned (fc5, GRWL) and I can imagine people rolling their eyes thinking “another UniSoft game” and if that’s the case is there another entry to the franchise with high level modding?
Also I’m glossing abit, its my only experience of a the franchise I’m sure if I played them all I’d be as sick of the loop as everyone else. Anyway what’s everyone’s thoughts on fc5, the franchise in general, favourite entry and the modding scene for fc, will we witness the death of UniSoft?
https://discord.gg/farcry-modding-846424998888734731 this discord community it also has a website but there’s far more mods on here including all the ones that are on the website so this is the best place to link
edit: after looking there’s now a website where you can search through those discord mods but it still links back to the discord to download them https://mods.farcry.info/ but it might make browsing a bit easier
Ubisoft has never been a mod-friendly publisher, and none of their titles support modding to any extent that I’m aware of. The mods that exist for it are pretty limited in nature (i.e. they modify existing values and textures, and don’t really expand the game afaik). I like FarCry 2, 3, 5, New Dawn, and 6, but the series has definitely written itself into a corner. Removing the guns makes it not work (e.g. Primal), but they’ve literally ended their timeline with 5 and New Dawn, and 6 just makes it feel like they don’t know where to go and are doing offshoots. 6 felt more like Just Cause than Far Cry, to me.
Far cry 2 had the best fire and foliage. It lives rent free in my head lol. Only downside was the constant patrols trying to mess you up.
Thats fair I’ve heard good things for the first two Far Cry’s. Once I’ve played through the dlc of 5 I will probs go and check another entry in the franchise. What are you thoughts on Blood Dragon? And also cheers your informed response, it makes sense so few mods exist.
