From there characters became caricatures and systems became systemic as Far Cry 4 and Far Cry Primal were generic, throwaway games full of endless checklists of boring, hapless tasks. It was small enough that you didn’t need vehicles to get around and ‘liberating’ outposts with murder sprees, stealth, and any number of approaches felt a lot like the ‘immersive simulation’ experience of Deus Ex but clearly geared towards the formula established between Assassin’s Creed entries and Crysis‘ expansion of the Far Cry formula. Far Cry 5 “AThe third game in the series was one of the first open-world first person shooters that did everything right in terms of a reasonably coherent, but simple, plot with a compelling main story and plenty of dumb things to do in between. My thoughts on the game amount to silly complaining so feel free to scroll right past it. So, say goodbye to the prospect of me ever reviewing South Park: Fractured But Whole, Mass Effect: Andromeda, Metro 2033, Monster Hunter World, and most surprisingly Far Cry 5. Empowered by the ultimate power of slashing FEZ, Hitman: Absolution, and Pillars of Eternity from my ‘to do’ list I’ve made some bolder moves towards giving up, moving on and being more selective with my time. In breaking the completionist habit, the root of the problem in terms of my backlog of video games, I have to consciously fight a need to finish terrible experiences that aren’t fun or worth my time.Īs such earlier this month I dropped several games from my final list and stopped holding onto the 25-30 or so Playstation 4/PC games that I wanted to go back and get achievements in. It is important to take stock of your video game experience every 1-2 hours and ask yourself “Am I having fun?”, “Is this gameplay worth my time?” and most importantly “Do I need to finish this?” I stuck with Assassin’s Creed: Origins earlier this year perhaps out of love for Ancient Egypt and more likely out of a severely misaligned need to be a completionist. I would however like to suggest that most all Ubisoft games aren’t worth playing at all. Look folks we all have our rough days, weeks, months, and years and I’m not about to suggest that all video games are a waste of time, because they’re fun. This includes updates on reviews I’m writing, games I’m looking forward to, thoughts I’ve had, and things I’ve purchased. Here I’ll generally update my progress in any and all games I’ve touched in the past 2-4 weeks.
