There's a menu option for that, centered crosshair or offset. You can pick whatever.

Well I have mixed feelings after 2h into the game.
There is basically little to no innovation compared to previous titles, as anyone could expect.
The gunplay is not satisfying - enemy AI runs right into you without even spotting where you are, so that you can stealth execute them without requiring an effort to approach them.
The story makes no fucking sense whatsover. A religious sect right in the middle of the US and noone can fucking do anything about it? Come on, even the narcos in Widlands were more believable than that...
I strongly suggest to wait for a 50% sale in 3 month, as the game is nothing new and will quickly get boring and repetitve.

At least Ubi did a good job with the AC franchise with the refreshing Origins title. Unfortunately the FC franchise has remained the same old crap everyone already experienced with FC3.

It's a shame that the good ol' Ziggy doesn't seem to be tinkering with Far Cry anymore, he'd be able to remove some of the Ubisillines from this "new" version and improve at least some of its junky bits. I remember that his mod for FC3 was an absolute must, it added proper challenge, removed most of the visual derp and rebalanced the entire thing, I would have never been able to enjoy the game without it back then.

I eventually finished FC4 too, but between the fatigue of doing the exact same thing over and over and the so-so vanilla experience I can't really say that I had a good time with it (the previous happy Blood Dragon romp on the other hand worked well for me thanks to the smaller scope and full-arcade-no-fucks-given mode). Then there was the flabby Primal starring one-button-tamer Tarzanator, such an odd beast. The Survival mode made it more bearable, but when there's chronical lack of challenge, the melee system is so simplistic and Ubiworld standing there with its formulaic fluff there isn't much left.

Will play this one too one day (if only for the sandbox-y chaos and religious nutjobs Razz), though judging from the video(s) it's evident that the signature stale Ubirecycling, bad AI and art of filling the map with hundreds of colorful tasks and copy-pasta activities like a derp Baroque painting are there in all their glory.
This series needs a massive overhaul so badly, but since the new entry will likely sell like hotcakes I doubt it will ever happen. Not that a potential overhaul would be able to do miracles anyway (we'd have to remove Ubisoft entirely in order to achieve that Cool Face), but still.

No reason for Ubilol to change anything, as long as enough Lemmings are buying their lazy-job games.

I think the main problem here is that after 3 we had FC4 and primal which were almost the same.
If this came out after the 3rd, it would feel really fresh, but this way its like an analog clock where you stare at the minute pointer but it just wont move, or maybe it did?

Dunia is a old engine by now, Anvil had a few tuneups from Assassin's Creed to Origins (Origins is quite a rework from Unity and Syndicate too from what I can tell at least.) but Far Cry has kept to less expansive changes although they have reworked large parts of the engine since Far Cry 2 although a lot of stuff from that game is still found here so there's some legacy bits remaining.

For this game they made a physically based material lighting system and make use of photogrammetry for environmental texture assets although as a result other props look fairly low res and lack detail and the same goes for character models. Smile

No GameWorks extras here either, shadows are a variant of PCSS but that's about it and then AMD seem to be keeping for having textures at no more than 4 GB of VRAM usage plus 16-bit precision shaders rather than 32-bit for the rapid packed math feature in Vega allowing for processing 2x 16-bit shaders together which yields around a 5 - 10% performance gain somewhere around there. (Selectively used to lessen impact on shader quality and errors but still a reduction in quality though how noticeable is hard to tell, water apparently uses it but the water system is also updated a bit from previous games.)

Terrain and LOD such as pop-in suffer a lot as well, more densely populated terrain but less view distance for it so in the distance things look a bit static or barren as a result.


What else? oh yeah there might be a high-res texture pack DLC going by things in the game files and the config file but whether this is future content or a legacy remnant from Far Cry Primal remains to be seen.


EDIT: Some mechanics are still also not up to the level of detail found in Far Cry 2 either such as vegetation physics and the fire propagation system although some of these might be for balance reasons.

None of the games have had the same fire system but it would be kinda overpowered I suppose to just toss a molotov and see everything in the vicinity burn and while sped up I don't think any of the games also had regrowing vegetation after using fire or high caliber bullets though branches on trees grew out again in a few seconds so it looked pretty silly although it was a neat touch.

Right? What's up with this self-satisfied back-patting because people like a franchise. If UBISOFT isn't interested in innovating with their franchises there are plenty of developers offering something new. It's like, you're shocked that a AAA developer isn't trying to tweak a winning formula too much, and the folks here enjoying/excited about the game are the foolish ones.
