  • I would argue that the radio tower stuff bleeding in from Assassins Creed already messed up the formula that Far Cry 2 was building on. I do admit Far Cry 3 had some cool points, but overall it’s where in my view the series took a step in the wrong direction.

    Latter titles doubled down on making combat less meaningful, exploration just like any other Ubi title, and realistic animations, AI and physics thrown out the window in favor of cheap mechanics

    Like, in Far Cry 2 enemies would try to heal their wounded or mercy kill them, in Far Cry 5 a baddie hover his hands above a body to revive their mate.

    Nah, it’s the Brits who say " we apologise for any strong language you may have heard" even if it was only one word because of Ofcom. I can’t find any good data because search engines are glorified news machines now not finding anything older, but this has been a thing for public broadcasts for a while.

    I just want the functionality organized in some predictable way and leave me some place to work in

    Then customize it. If you’re using Office, it should even be transferred between devices. This is exactly why you can customize it: so you can make your type of work your focus.

    I’m not here to defend MS or anything, but I can’t help pointing out the answer right in front of you.
