RedDevil757 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I've tried to get into this series twice now but a long time ago (the first two games) and just didn't like it. I've continued to hear good about the series so I'm here to ask which is the best to start with? This one? I hear the 3rd is good. But PS3 or PS4 version if that's the case. This will be the 3rd and final chance this series gets ? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomed_Gary Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 3 is my favorite Far Cry game other than Blood Dragon. After 3 they get pretty samey, but each one is bigger and there's more and more stuff to do. I found 5 to be a little overwhelming there was so much. For me, 3 had the right balance of map size, stuff to do, and story beats. I can't recommend you a version of 3 as I played it on 360 way back when it first came out, but if the PS3 version is at all comparable I'd say it holds up pretty well.

LoveInHell Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Far Cry 3 on the PS4. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakebit10 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I would start with 3. Maybe even get the PS4 version and you won't have to worry about co op. Than Blood Dragon would be good for a follow up. After that it is a toss up. You could go in order and play 4 than 5 and New Dawn with Primal last. Primal was my least favorite out of those and I like New Dawn better than 5 but there is things in New Dawn that refer back to 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far Cry 5 is my favorite game of the series, but I don't think many people are sharing my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah I loved primal, its my favourite followed by New Dawn. 4 just felt the same as 3. 5 got stale towards the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cckerberos Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Another vote for the PS4 version of Far Cry 3. They essentially rebooted the series with the third game and it plays very differently from the first two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guilty of forgetting Primal. That one doesn't go into the samey Far Cry Game slot at all. Not my cup of tea, but I respect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco-001 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Far Cry 3 is now an old game. Played it recently again and my memories (on PS3) were more positive then when I played it again on the PS4. Play FC 4, 5 or try New Dawn maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charizarzar Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Only one I haven’t played is Primal but I second starting with 3. It’s not essential to start with the first one as most of the games don’t tie into each other and it has a very different feel. 2 has its perks but isn’t as user friendly for beginners to the series.

Crispy_Oglop Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I loved Primal for the setting, Far Cry 3 for the villain and Far Cry 5 for the utterly ballsy ending it had. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1andonly654 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I'd say 3 is the best, it has an amazing villain and while cheesy, the story actually makes you feel a bit of that "descent into madness" so to speak. 4 is a reskin of 3 in my opinion. Weirdly, New Dawn is a safe choice in terms of pure gameplay, just enough of Far Cry to be fun, not enough to make you bored. Also, Blood Dragon. It's different and specific, kind of a spin off but if you like action movies from the 80s and 90s and have a sense of humor, you'll love it.

ImMagnetz Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 3 was the first game I played in the series and it's still my favourite. PS3 or PS4 version doesn't really matter, it's the same game. Although the PS4 trophy list doesn't require you to do the half a dozen co-op missions in order to get the plat, so I'd say go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
