Summary
Although Ubisoft has yet to officially announceFar Cry 7 , plenty of rumor have circulated circumvent the next entry in the long - running first - soul shooter series , from speculation that theAcademy Award - winning actor Cillian Murphycould be regard - which was soon debunked - to reports it could be taking place in Korea . There ’s one rumour I really desire is n’t true , however , and that ’s that the game may have a time limit .
Ever since CryTec ’s originalFar Cryon PC , most of the mainline form of address in the serial publication have had subject - mankind maps to explore that have taken the series across the ball , include the the like ofFar Cry 2 ’s depiction of Africa , Far Cry 4 ’s Himilayan location , or the American state of Montana inFar exclaim 5 . As time travel on , the games did feature more feature that had become synonymous with Ubisoft ’s other open - world games , withFar Cry 3having histrion climbing towers to unlock portions of the mathematical function , much as they ’d have to in anAssassin ’s Creedtitle , but largely , there were plenty of side activities that made exploring these different locations finger worthwhile .
Though Ubisoft has been criticized for reprocess the same gameplay , dinosaurs shooting laser and tyrannical cult loss leader always keep it fresh .

A Time Limit May Be Immersive, But It Kills Exploration
Open World Games Should Be Made To Be Explored
TheGame Rantarticle that first fetch the time limit rumor to my care did repoint out that such a feature could makeFar Cry 7feel more immersive , adding a sense of urgency to the form of address . While I ’d agree that such a mechanic was perfectly implemented in a serial likeDead Risingwhere if a thespian did n’t act quickly enough , fiber would decease because they ’d become overwhelmed by zombie hordes - or in the fount ofDead Rising 2 , could become a zombie when not give the medicinal drug Zombrex on metre - this made me want to rush across the map to get to them in time , when present with a vast open - universe mathematical function , you desire to explore it , not hotfoot through it .
Even two of my preferent game , Batman : Arkham CityandCyberpunk 2077 , which both had a sense of urgency to their write up withArkham City ’s looming " Protocol 10 " orV ’s deteriorating health inCyberpunk 2077 , had the good sense to put that aside and let players explore their open worlds at their own pace . Sure , occasionally , Hugo Strange would blare a countdown annunciation over the speakers of Arkham City when explore , or five would pass on out at the end of a account mission and wake up to severalise another type - usually Johnny Silverhand - how rough they were feel , butthese did n’t actually impact the gameplay , and I quite happily took my time complete as many of the side missions as I want before taking on the next part of the storey .
There was only one delegation inCyberpunk 2077 , " Riders On The Storm , " that had a time limit , as player must rescue the Aldecado drawing card Saul . If players do n’t answer the call to help do this within 24 in - plot hours , it can lock them out of one of the game ’s questlines and ending .
The idea thatFar Cry 7could push player through its story feel bizarre to me because I would cease a playthrough intuitive feeling like I ’d only seen a fraction of what the game has to extend . New Game Plus and the option to play back the story could remedy this if there was some kind of RPG - esque mechanic where option had meaning and could result in different outcomes , but I ca n’t avail but feel like if there ’s a time limit , the game will be pushing me into certain scenarios regardless and it would just be a loop of letdown as once again I wonder what else there is out there that I could have done instead .
Also , a lot hinges on the tale itself . If the narrative is disappointing , I ’ll in all probability put down the game after one playthrough and not bother to waste my meter replaying it to see how much there is . consider the price of stake these days , especially with mostly digital release where we ca n’t just trade in copies once we ’re done , that just feels like a waste .
Ubisoft ’s long - running FPS Far Cry dealership can be confusing for the uninitiate to first enter into , but these are the best titles to start with .
A Time Limit Would Essentially Bring Back The Worst Part Of Far Cry 5
I Was Often Frustrated When I Was Forced By The Game To Continue The Story
A metre limit point would also get back my least pet part ofFar Cry 5but make it so much worse . To be clear , I enjoyedFar Cry 5overall . Its standard pressure was impressively eerie , and its character were piquant , and I really desire to search more of its world . Unfortunately , on many occasion , as I ’d be carrying out a undertaking , the filmdom would fade to nigrify dead , and I ’d be confronted with one of the Seed family unit members , thrust me into a tale missionary work . While , yes , the theme was that I was in their soil and there was an intimidate flavor thatthe herculean cultcould get their hands on my reference at any time , I found myself moan more often than not when this encounter .
This was surely the case if I was on my mode to carry out a side activity because I want to get a specific kind of reward , like unlock one of the companions , orif the mark was further out from a immobile travel tip and I knew I ’d have to pass a while catch back to it once the obligatory mission was out of the way . Although , to be fairish , as far as companions were worry , once I got Cheeseburger the bear , I did tend to apply them the most just because I revel seeing the carnage of sending a bear into an enemy encampment unfold . Peaches the mountain Leo was a close second if I want a more stealthy approach , though .
Regardless , being pulled out from an natural process I ’d be after out was no less frustrating , specially when I actualize the game was labour me toward an ending before I ’d had the fortune to in full research what it had to proffer . Fortunately , Ubisoft seemed to leave this idea behind withFar shout 5 ’s unmediated continuation , the post - apocalypticFar Cry : New Dawn , and thesomewhat more groundedFar Cry 6 , so I am hoping that the rumored clip limit inFar Cry 7- which I reckon would be likeFar Cry 5 ’s mandatory floor missions but so much worse - does n’t total to fruition , so I can actually explore all of whatever Din Land the series takes us to next .
