To start off I will be picking up Far Cry 4 once I'm finished with Dragon Age Inquisition but the fact that I would rather spend my time doing multiple play throughs than pick up a "brand new" game does say something about Ubisoft.
[u]The Weapons[/u]
When it comes to guns I am an absolute gun nut. I love seeing new types of weapons especially new assault rifles that haven't been featured in games before it and I even go so far as to enjoy different variants of the same (Like a Daniel Defense M4V1 compared to a standard Colt M4A1). Now imagine my distaste when I looked at the weapons list. 90% of the weapons were in Far Cry 3 and 100% of the assault rifles were in Far Cry 3 with almost no difference in the gun models. And even the signature weapons like the Bushman have returned. Seriously Ubisoft? Hell the AK-47 and the Goblin(P416 in Far Cry 3/4) in Watch Dogs have the exact same models as in Far Cry! Did you decide to annualize your weapon models because it would have cost more to make new weapon models?
[u]The Gameplay[/u]
It's the same as Far Cry 3. Everything down to character speed, weapon swap animations, sprint animations, and climbing animations. Trying to save money again Ubisoft? Lord knows that you need it after all the money you bring in off of Assassins Creed every year in fact you even gave us two this year.
[u]The Story[/u]
Now I haven't experienced the story but just like Far Cry 3 the back drop makes absolutely no sense and your main character isn't even remotely believable. How does this man know how to ride, elephants fly helicopters and perfectly control a wingsuit?
[u]The Crafting system[/u]
You didn't listen to any criticism over your crafting system that's essentially padding. Why do I have to kill 8 animals to increase the amount of cash I can hold? It's a stupid mechanic that hurts the game that I hated in Far Cry 3 because of how excessive it got and it's excessive in this game as well from just what I looked at.
tl;dr: Far Cry 4 is the quality of a game that I expect from something that has been annualized because the game has already given off an annualized feel from just research alone but this game was released two years after Far Cry 3.
