I like these games. I do. But at the same time I don’t. They’re repetitive in the gameplay and it gets stale to the point where I never finish them.

Along with the Assassins Creed series, they have sucked me in and don’t deliver enough to maintain my business, yet a couple of months after a release when I see them go on sale the end up in my collection.

I’m hoping this news will end in an awesome game that I’m obviously going to buy and that I will actually finish, for once

Agree. I'm playing Far Cry 6 and somehow got the feeling it's even slightly worse (more stupid) than the 5th entry.

The map is filled to the brim with NPCs and animals, yet I've rarely witnessed such a dead world. Not a single NPC has a purpose or life. Cars outside the render distance disappear from the game too: turn around and that vehicle is gone like in those 1980's video games. Turn around again: new NPC.

Finished a checkpoint / road block: your car is gone Baddies reappear in enemy areas although I just cleared it out. Such a lack of persistence is almost an offense.

Not one car that doesn't sound their horn at me because they think I'm trying to ram them off the road. Arcade games from decades ago were less dumb.
