yeah i enjoyed watchdogs too, its a shame that ubisoft made poor decision of showing the gameplay with those sky high leveled of graphics, made it an instant punching bag, but overall its a good game.. also some assassins creed games are good

I hope that devs start putting more focus on physics and AI next gen, because I don't want another ride of slightly prettier scenes (while other scenes are toned down visually, because not all devs make every single piece looking pretty) and dumb AI, while lacking any physics. 

The mid 2000's was all about creating impressive engines that in some ways wouldn't be matched for a long time.

Personally I've wanted to buy Far Cry 2 for a while because it's kind of the awkward middle child, you always hear about how weird the first game is and how great 3 is and how repetitive 4 onwards is but 2 is rarely talked about. It looks a lot more realistic which is really appealing, but people seem to think it's kind of mediocre.

Anyways, there's some important context that is always taken out of most of Crowbcat's videos :

"How FC2 holds up 10 years later. FC5 has its own attention to details that FC2 doesn't have, this comparison doesn't mean FC5 has nothing to show."

He's not really trying to be a dick for no reason.

We do have few games putting focus on physics and mechanics related to it, like Zelda for example, with it's items and how said items can affect the world (like setting a forest on fire, grass reacting to your footsteps, grass being cut, chopping down trees, arrows on fire being put out the moment they touch water etc).

We also have Conan Exiles, which has some nice Nvidia tech, with the sand in that game reacting a lot like real sand, where you sift your feet through it, as well as seeing the sand sift around a captive you drag through the desert.

Then of course there's this:

5 is easily one of the laziest Far Cry's and game ever from ubisoft

They're not trying to impress anyone with Farcry 5 or make these small immersive details to draw players into the world because it's a design by committee open world game of an old established franchise.

All of Ubisoft game are very similar to each other and they're designed to be a disposable products. That doesn't necessarily mean they're bad or the old Ubisoft games like Farcry 2 are better. There's just no passion behind their games anymore and non of them having any lasting impact.

Sadly, most people don't read the descriptions.

Far Cry 5 is a much better game and I hate click-bait headlines like this.

we need Far Cry 2 Remastered

Some of the mechanics are undeniably superior in Far Cry 2 like the destruction physics but having Malaria wasn't very fun and gun jamming is absolute BS since military grade weapons hardly have feeding failures when there is usually good quality ammunition and magazines featured with it ...
