I hope the Blood Dragon gets a proper sequel this time
I kinda hope they go back to a more gritty and realistic theme like they had going on with FC2. I wouldn't mind a Blood Dragon sequel though, I feel like there's a lot of potential.
That would be awesome!
I've recently played a bit of FarCry 6 since its on PS+ Extra and...honestly, I don't get who these games are made for these days. There's a veneer of absurdity and seriousness but it doesn't fully commit to either, while having the typical overstuffed Ubisoft open-world. Ends up not going into either the military shooter direction or the goofy, zany shooter direction or in any other direction. It just kinda is, like a fatty, filling but ultimately bland fast food.
So yea, a reinvention would be good, but I at this point I believe Ubisoft games are their own genre, for better or for worse.
I would guess they're made for people who really really like Far Cry 3, because the gameplay loops do not appear to have fundamentally changed since that game came out in 2012.
Unfortunately, no. I used to love Ubi games, played every single one following the formula because they're fun and get cheap fast.
But in recent memory, all of their games have tried to shove annoying gimmicks in and take away from what made the games enjoyable. Far Cry 6 was one of the least bad ones, but games like New Dawn, Breakpoint, and WD Legion are disasters that have driven me off.
The series could definitely use a refresh

I really enjoyed what I played of Primal, and I hope they do more historic ones like it. One set during the Dark Ages would be sweet.
