Far Cry Primal Review - Sticks And Stones Will Break Your Bones
- Thread starter Fanghawk
- Start date
Wonder if we are going to see more games in this setting now, given the thread of "Follow the Leader" in AAA Gaming.
Still, might want to check this out now, though if there was ever a time to do a sequel to Far Cry: Blood Dragon, this would be the time.
Seriously, I hope I wasn't the only one thinking how this game would look with 80s Neon and Lasers XD

I've been hearing a lot of mixed things. It seems like the gimmick would wear off pretty quickly to me. I get the sense the novelty of being in the stone age would last about the length of a downloadable game, but I'm not sure it can carry a whole product.
Its not a reboot, its just another one in the franchise. Every Far Cry game so far has been different from the previous one, but with a huge amount of copy-paste in engine and mechanics since 3.Barbas said:
I predict that if this (and the upcoming Horizon: Zero Dawn) sells well, we'll see a swell of prehistoric settings.Diablo1099 said:
I doubt anyone is claiming this is realistic. It's HYPER stylised. Basically fantasy. Am I seeing 'bee grenades' from that screenshot? Sabertooth skull helmet?slo said:
I don't see why not, it really depends on if you like this stuff to begin with. I could spend hours in a sandbox survival primitive world. It was definitely a brave move though.Dango said:
So, never then?Barbas said:
I'm not sure Primal should be such a huge surprise after Blood Dragon. Whoever at Ubisoft is in charge of Far Cry clearly has more stomach for out there concepts than most. Although I wonder if Primal is worth the full price they're releasing it at. ?55 is a lot if the game wears thin before the end.
i dont know. i really disliked the first farcry game. skipped out on part 2 because of that, then so many talk positive about 3 and it did look like a fun title, but after quarter through, i started to lose fun and in the end i just rushed to the end. had no fun at all. blood dragon indeed looked like some crazy 80s style shooter so i got it, but again, fun at the beginning but lost it pretty quickly that i rushed to the end again.
so i guess this will be the same again for this title. better keep my fingers of it. i dont know why but the farcry franchise just isnt growing on me.

I don't see how eloquent cavemen can be less silly sounding than simple cavemen. Ooh eloquent cavemen sounds like a great name for a band! *Scribbles in notepad*Digi7 said:
I may end up buying this game for my PS4 if it doesn't require Uplay one way or another.
The fact that you can tame animals is pretty awesome if you ask me.

Let what go? I'm just excited for another great game recommended by the highly trusted staff at the escapist!SKBPinkie said:
Can you tame a mammoth in it?
From the disappointed comments I'm already reading about the game, you may be closer to the mark than you think with that. The game appears to be an overpriced retread that brings little to the table in terms of new elements and is missing some of the old ones that made Far Cry 4 entertaining, like the co-op. I don't think it's Dragon Age 2 bad, but anyone looking for Blood Dragon may be thoroughly let down.Broslinger said:
No radio towers, but there is a low-tech equivalent. Also shackled to uPlay.
