My header might seem a bit sensational, but my question is that, only cosmetics downgrade should be considered as downgrades? what about game logic? Following video is comparison between farcry 2 and farcry 5, basically Duniya engine v1 to whatever duniya engine version is at, in Farcry 5.  Now I do have to admit i remember playing farcry 2 and getting annoyed by all these system, specially that damn malaria. but watching this video now i feel the trade off between interactive environment in favor of pretty graphics is not in any way an upgrade. 

what do you guys think? 

Crowbcat is brutal man.... but love his videos.

Yeah me too ! one of my favourite channels on youtube. 

His Super Real Mario Odyssey video is one of the best things i have ever saw and it always cracks me up. xD

What do i think ? i think Ubisoft is crap and they have been since 2008. Every game from them is boring and mediocre.

I like the Splinter Cell games, and I actually enjoyed Watch Dogs myself.

Let's just say I've enjoyed every Far Cry game I've played but hate this one. It doesn't matter what you do, the game is constantly interrupting. The AI is just random and chaotic, making the whole experience midless, unless you're a equally as mindless.

Jesus man. I forgot how advanced FC2 was back in the day, and comparing it to the latest FC game, bloody hell.



This is why I'm not as hyped for AAA titles these days, because they pull up the fluff pieces here and there, while leaving the rest of the game soulless and mechanically inferior to other past games.

I should really go back and play some FC2, which doesn't require Uplay.

! Interesting stuff. Have not played either, but agree that the reactive environment in FC2 looks much more appealing than the static environment in FC5.

It isn't really shocking, the environement detail was also FC2's selling point. The fire/Details in FC2 were fun for a few hours but after some time it became boring.

They showed it at E3 back then https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfSBHJRU9_Q basically to show of what the engine can do but people seem to not care about it while playing the game.

i agree all that interactivity will be fun for few hours, but imo FC2 story was no funny to play.. and i assume it was the first game on duniya engine.. so with a better story and more refined AI behaviors helps elevates the experience even higher. Its just a shame duniya engine had so much potential but ubisoft wanted multiple trimmed down engines.
