FC2 was perfect.

I tried Far Cry only a few years after it came out and didn’t like it a lot. Far Cry 2 never even drew my attention. I liked Far Cry 3 so much I 100%ed it, but it left me so burnt out on the Ubisoft open world formula that I didn’t even bother with any followup besides Blood Dragon.

The first one, the only one made by CryTek. Some of the others might have some good moments, but none of them have gameplay that’s comparable to the first one.

I have played 3-6. I enjoyed 5 the most followed by 3. 6 was probably the worst, but mostly because I hated the ammo gating mechanic

I enjoyed 4 a lot

Far cry 2. I love the grim Merc in the Africa vibes. 3 was something new and was pretty good but everything else feels like 3 with extra shit and new coat of paint

Far cry 3, the game that made me fall in love with pc gaming and I can’t play it because I need to disable E-cores. I paid for the E cores and im gonna use them.

Far Cry 2. Came out when I was 13, kinda just imprinted on me. Every sequel after has been a bit, meh in comparison.

Far Cry 4 wouldve been the best if they actually made a full playthrough for joining Pagan Min in the beginning.

Farcry 3 the best in the hole timeline its the thing that it can possible be to you when you skydiving the wrong place😂

I havent played 1,2 or 6.
I think my order of preference was 3 > 4 > 5
3 was phenomenal, absolutely stunning and fun. I dont have a single bad word about it.
4 was good, but felt a little lack luster/forgettable.
5 felt longer (mostly due to the cutscenes), I wasnt a huge fan of the premise to move the story (just complete missions, side quests, etc in a zone until a bar fills up to trigger a main story plotline).
I did 5 entirely in coop and it felt janky, the vehicles sucked ass autodrive would constantly activate even when turned off.
That being said 5 was scenic, the gunplay was fun, and the story at least was better than 4.
I also played blood dragon, but I dont think i’d toss it in the mix, felt gimmicky although fun, I dont remember it much.

4, it was the only one i liked, but i guess once you play one you’ve played them all

4 for me. I still haven’t got around to playing 6!

3 was most memorable, 4 was most fun.

Call me nostalgic, but Far Cry: instincts and Far Cry Instincts predator.
Shit was wild and fun, and I’m tired of people forgetting it.
FC2 was fantastic as well.

3 has the best story by far

3 obviously, its the best one, it has the best history and its the most optimized comparing to all the others. I tried to play the 5 but i couldnt finish it, i got bored in the mid, the missions seems to be all the same, just like what happened to farcry 2

You should remove FC1 otherwise there is only 1 possible answer.
I liked 3 and 5. The cut scenes were kinda lengthy in 5, but other than that I enjoyed it.
1 was great. But i didn’t had a pc to play it above 480p 30fps back in the day. together with crisis it where the games.
Naver played 2.
I got 3 with my gpu. Loved that game.
4 was a bit short. It had a long short cut so i got to the wc when i came back it was rolling the credits.
5 had a great vibe, early on. After 40% or so it was a shovel simulation.
6 wasn’t that interested so i didn’t buy it.
