Can You Run It?

Nothing really stands out as odd to me. Them recommending an SSD is a bit on the odd side, but I get it. With games getting bigger and modern consoles having an SSD, games are going to start being built around them.
Far Cry 6 still has a lot to prove to me. Nothing I’ve seen has been able to distinguish itself from Far Cry 5. Or 4. Or 3. These games are getting too similar with basically the exact same plotline being re-used for each game. I’m sure it will be a fun game, but I’m not sure it will be worth paying money for if you already have Far Cry 5.
Far Cry 6 is set to launch on October 7 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PS4, PS5, and PC.
