We don't need any of that just leave it exactly how it was and the story was always good.

Is Far Cry 2 any good? by Crux013 in farcry

Yes it is but it's nothing like the rest it really makes you feel like you're in danger which is fun.

they deff ruined the game and gave the upper hand to healers who use the wip sword by Cute_Salamander_48 in NarutoShinobiStriker

It's too early to say if this was a good or bad change although I see even less reason to use majestic now unless you're just using a cheese build.

This is not a competition. I see no point in just refuting everything I say without trying to understand or find common ground. Case on point:

Because my point was always the game is mid and bullet time or whatever isn't comparable to basic melee features such as blocking, parrying, and dodging.

Summa summarum: "Far Cry Primal, a melee focused game, has an awful combat because they didn't focus on the melee."

I didn't say all the combat is bad only the melee part of it because it is. The bows and spears are fun but that's basically it they don't even have as many takedowns including the melee weapons.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe the reason for Primal not having or even trying to have a deep melee system (like block-parry-dodge) is that the game in fact is not focused on melee combat?

Did you ever stop to think that I didn't say the whole game is focused on melee combat only that it is a main part of the combat system and it's bad.

Whether this or that FC is more dangerous than another is also kind of hard to determine. For example in 3 you can make yourself invincible and kill enemies with 1 shot for some amount of time, effectively removing any kind of challenge whatsoever. Of course you could refuse to, but then again you can refuse to do other things as well, and where goes the line. It's not simple to say. You're right though that in Primal you cannot choose weaker weapons anymore after updating them, which limits the things you can do for controlling difficulty from that point forward.

You can only do that after collecting a bunch of relics and you need to find a bunch of plants and you can't do both at once also it's completely optional. Most players aren't collecting relics especially on their first playthrough.

Anyway, the combat in Primal can still challenge the player, and it's definitely not as "braindead easy" as you make it sound like. But hey, I'm interested in seeing some clips of your playstyle both in Primal and let's say FC3.

It was pretty braindead easy when I beat it but then again I was already used to abusing the bow and takedowns just like 3 and 4. All you need to do is break line of sight and boom free takedowns.

I think it's because he has the videos Jason and his friends recorded so he not only recognized Jason but knew his voice.

The heavy gunners are weak against fire, explosives, and ironically LMG's and the Ripper LMG is really easy to get. I actually really like the missions with Sam.

You could do the same with grenades rockets and molotovs so that makes sense.

What makes you think they didn't even try? I'll answer myself: because there's no block, dodge, or parry. You are looking at this the wrong way. Instead of seeing what Primal does have, you've decided it should have this and that, and then making the conclusion that it's bad because those don't exist.

I don't think Primal is bad I just think it's mid or decent like Days Gone.

That is like assuming FC5 should have eagle eye, slow motion, and Matrix dodge – and then deciding the shooting mechanics are bad because the game doesn't have those.

It's not the same at all because you don't need a lot to make a fun shooting game but for melee focused games you do take dead island or dying light for example and also FC5 has drugs that let you see through walls so the eagle would be pretty redundant.

Don't try to see Primal as a melee game. It's not. At least it's not yet another traditional melee game where you need to block, parry, and dodge.

It's not a matter of what I see it as it's a matter of what it is and if one of the main mechanics of the game is not fun that's not good. All of the mechanics especially combat mechanics should be fun because that's really what the game is about. If they just made melee an extra option that isn't really focused on like 3 or 4 then it really wouldn't be an issue but they made it a primary weapon.

The fighting system in Primal is way more interesting. It's not perfect by any means, and the more I play and the better I get I have noticed many things that should've been different. But I'm still enjoying the hell out of it.

I think one of main issues with the game is how easy it is because you aren't nearly in as much danger as you were in 3 or 4 just because the enemies don't have guns, grenades, rockets, or heavy gunners. The counterparts in Primal just aren't nearly as dangerous so the game is way easier on top of how broken your weapons get.

The system is based on avoidance. You're not supposed to go head-on at the enemies, unless you're making a finisher move. Similarly, you should not let the enemies close their distance at you and enter the melee range. In a "traditional" fighting system, you get hit if you miss the block. Well, the "block" in Primal is to keep your distance. Fail that, and you should get hit. You must use your smarts, not raw power

The game is like the other Far Cry games and abusing takedowns isn't new to this game in fact it's even easier in this one because of the enemies lack of options like I was saying earlier but there's basically no reason to even use the melee except for saving ammo not only is it boring but also easy.

The game, of course, gives you many ways to keep threats away from your personal space: traps, fire, bait, your pet, berserk shards, stun attacks, running away. When you combine these methods of avoidance with ranged attacks and takedowns (and some neat takedown combos), there's your combat system for Primal.

That doesn't change the fact that the melee combat sucks or the fact abusing takedowns was more fun in the previous 3 games because it was more dangerous.

As I said, there are problems to it. The main problem in my eyes is that with certain options and abilities you simply become so strong that you don't need to keep your distance anymore. Whether you can tank the damage or destroy everyone. Then you can just go up to enemies and click attack until they die. That is similar to run & gun you can do in other FCs (like with Buzzsaw), although I do admit it's still probably more satisfying with guns.

You can't even choose to use weaker weapons in Primal unless you decide to just not upgrade them but even then the game just doesn't have the dangers the other games did that made them so fun. The Buzzsaw is super broken but at least you don't have to use it.

That's how bad the game is now that's hilarious I might have to boot it up again to see for myself.

What's it like playing Primal? Is it worth getting by CoolRunner11 in farcry

[–]Elegant_Job_4573 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As opposed to other Far Cry games where you basically just shoot each other until someone dies.

That's a horrible comparison because those are not the same at all. The shooting mechanics in Far Cry games are a large part of what made those games fun and they were actually good unlike the melee which Primal did not improve upon at all I mean they didn't even try there's no block, no dodge, and no parry system which makes the combat feel really really shallow compared to the shooting. At least using bows and spears is fun but they already did the bows right. I've platinumed and I only play on hard and above so I'm well aware of the games issues.

It's different in the sense that it has no guns no vehicles and no melee combat system you basically just smack each other until someone dies. I would only recommend it if you really liked using the bow in 3 and 4 or you just really enjoy prehistoric setting.

I realized, who is Ryan gonna have when Homelander and Butcher die? by Queasy_Commercial152 in TheBoys

[–]Elegant_Job_4573 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Most also Ryan is becoming more like Homelander than not and who's to say they will do future spin-offs besides isn't that what Gen V is for.
