Game was never worth full price. Somewhat repetitive and mostly a time waster. Hard to believe they were still selling the game at full price recently.
But can't complain if it's free.
Far Cry has always been a guilty pleasure and I love open world shooters. I racked up 80 hours in Far Cry 5 and 62 hours in New Dawn.
Hopefully Far Cry 6 doesn't suck. I'm all in for a 100+ hours game.
It's fun for a few hours, but gets repetitive since you end up going back to places you already explored. Didn't have many issues, bugs, etc.
I did finish the base game, but skipped the DLC. More or less a cash grab.
Using a cheaper Creative AE-5 sound card. Sounds miles better than any onboard junk. Onboard audio has come a long way, but still not good enough for my ears.
The only motherboard brand I had a major issue with was ABIT. Some of their boards had corrupt BIOSes or were DOA. That was in the mid to late 90s.
I don't miss those days trying to fix the problem and hours wasted. But you sometimes came away with a solution.
Most of the games mentioned would get a pass from game publishers nowadays.
Would love to see another F.E.A.R. or Max Payne, but those game franchises are probably dead.
While it's very old now, Far Cry 1 had some really wicked AI. Not the best in the series, but still playable.
Far Cry 3 is still my favorite. Primal, Far Cry 5 and New Dawn were pretty meh. Blood Dragon was a blast and I wanted a sequel.
Outlast is going multiplayer. They also added a solo player experience.

Played it almost daily between 2004 and 2007. Joined a clan (XTO) and was an above average player. One on one was always a blast if said server was mostly dead.
Getting too old for fast shooters now.
Once they get they latency issues sorted it will end up being the industry standard. With Steam getting onboard, streaming games will eventually be the norm. If you have data caps then it sucks for you.
