I hated Far Cry 5 and didn't like Far Cry 4 but I am absolutely loving Far Cry 6 and it's ray traced goodness. It's Far Cry but everything feels better to me, especially the map/world design/exploration.
That's good to know. I'm anxious to play 6 in that it reminds me a bit of New Dawn with the crazy looking weapons but brings us back to the tropics. I'm just wondering if I should get now or wait for upgrade. Anyone try it on on a 1070? Obviously I won't get that Ray Tracing goodness...
You might, it's not an RTX-exclusive implementation (obviously, being sponsored by AMD) and they put some fairly tight restrictions in place to keep it performant. It's not at all like Cyberpunk or Control where the entire scene is built from that and looks super realistic, they just used a little bit here and there to add some more detail. The reflections are still primarily screen-space (complete with all the ugly artifacts from people or objects obscuring them), and the change in shadows is almost unnoticeable because the range on them is so short. It's 2021 and AAA games still have their shadows popping in and out of existence around 50 feet away from you... The game looks decent overall, better than 5, but the generational leap hasn't happened yet. Not that I held much hope for that, with the game also shipping for PS4 and Xbone, but the ray-tracing usage disappointed me. They were just ticking a checkbox there.
You might have to play around with the settings because I found having even Ultra Quality Super Resolution or Adaptive Resolution turned on really messes with the quality of the graphics. Pushing the resolution scaling up and keeping everything set to Ultra looks amazing! I mean, it's a light and day difference with all of the bells and whistles and without any AI rendering assistance. Pushed to the max settings the game looks just as good as Cyberpunk in Ultra w raytracing.

"Sam never left, I'm still here," Ironside said. "Well, I don't know if you guys want to talk about this or not, but I got cancer and I thought I was actually going to die and I had 60-65% of not making it, I had prostate and bowel cancer and some others. I tried to walk away and put it in good hands and just walk away," Ironside worked as a consultant on Blacklist and helped Johnson play Fisher.

Essentially, Ubisoft makes the same game with different window dressing. It's the same formula over and over again and its become unwelcome, at least to me. I didn't buy FC6. Why? I've already played the game when it was called Far Cry543. The last AC game I bought was Origins and it was a total shitshow with gimmicky, gated areas and make-work side shit that was unbelievably underwhelming. Everything I read about Odyssey and Valhalla states its the same thing there, too. So why bother? Watch_Dogs even cratered. I bought Legion on the strength of Watch_Dogs 2. That was a giant fucking mistake. Legions is a shallow, fetid, steaming pile of shit. I won't be buying another Watch_Dogs game from them ever again.
I'm sure their titles generate eleventy hojillion dollars and I'm just an old man yelling at the clouds.

Ubisoft needs to just stop right now. Everything with exception of AC Vahalla has been sub-par, or as I call it "Work From Home" quality. Re-gather the troops in the office, and put some quality into their games. Quality not quantity.
