There have been plenty of great villains in video games over the years. Now it's time for the VGU crew to name a few of their favorites.
If you’re new to this long-running franchise, we’ve got you covered.
2 and 3, pretty much the only ones i really enjoyed. 1 was amazing for the time but aged quite poorly. 4 has the elephant gun, all i can praise from any entry after 3 lol
Ummmm 3 than stop.
Okay maybe two as well. But yeah probably 3 and then move on.
Far Cry 2. People constantly rant about games now being too easy, holding your hand, having too many unnecessary RPG-lite leveling features, etc. People specifically complain about open world games being too focused on tons of collectibles and "checkmarks" that just waste time.
Far Cry 2 is an answer to all of those complaints. It was made by Ubisoft before they fell into all the traps discussed above (and before they started inserting towers into their games to defog the map). It has respawning enemies, weapons that degrade, and the collectible diamonds are very useful in the game (which you find in a similar way to the way you find shrines in BOTW with a radar system). The map you have is an in game item you pull out while playing, not a pause menu that is unnecessarily detailed. Also the enemy AI and physics are much better than later entries in the series.
It has a mixed reputation because people at the time said it was too hard, the weapon degradation was annoying, and then respawning enemies were annoying. FC2 came out in 2008, so this was before games like Dark Souls and BOTW had come out and made it cool to like these types of features.

Beat it twice; once on PS3, and once a couple of months ago on PS5.
Doesn't Far Cry 2 have some of the things they are talking about here? Diamond hunting, healing, malaria medication?
"Far Cry 3 is a time capsule of what game design was like in the early '00s"
>Came out in 2012
Okay then
If we are going to talk early 2000's game design how about start in the year 2000 with games that are a far cry better than something released 12 years later.
"Chrono Cross, Baldur's Gate II, Diablo II, Dragon Quest VII, Final Fantasy IX, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, along with new intellectual properties such as Deus Ex, Jet Set Radio, Perfect Dark, The Sims and Vagrant Story."
The article names things Ubisoft has shoved into games to dumb them down and then claims we should rush off to play it. Maybe instead look back at it as the death of originality from Ubisoft and gaming in general.
Far Cry 3 & Assassin's Creed VI: Black Flag are 2 of the very best games from Ubisoft. All Ubisoft games since then are all just copying these 2 games.
I love Far Cry 3 but the online is terrible...it's a COD clone to the max.
"“[We wanted to] built a lot of the core loop around that [should to should experience] with booster shots, reviving, battle cries etc. Also, without armored cars it’s hard to build great maps where the driving is satisfying but you aren’t owned by snipers and RPGs. Anyway, excuses excuses. Of course we would have loved to give you the chance to find that out for yourself in MP through the map editor, but there was no time, and for this I apologize.”
Sorry but I think people would of rather had vehicles then a copy of Call of Duty with crappy little gimmicks to make the game easier. Next time listen to what fans want Ubisoft...lets not forget if they added them online then they would of had them on the Map Editor another letdown since it limits peoples creativity.
I hope they patch this in at least and I hope they give us some flying vechiles like Planes/helicopters in the single player, the maps big enough and I mean really...who's going to actually land it properly after you get the parachute/wingsuit.
UBISOFT PLZ Remove Annoying Pop-Ups and bring back The MALARIA
Far Cry 1/Instintcs had such a great multiplayer on the original Xbox its a shame that even 7-8 years later the sequels never improved on the original when it comes about multiplayer.
Ubisoft better focus on making the singleplayer even more enjoyable.
Honestly they should just stop with all this unlocking rewards B.S. for this game. A custom games browser would work miracles, a bare-bones make your map, host your own match, browse through others, would be perfect for this game (even if there's host advantage).
Plus it would make great use of the map editor. I would even call it innovative if it means breaking the mold by going back to old school.
So far i enjoyed far cry 2 a little more but ive only put an hour into singleplayer the multi on fc2 was really fun and the vehicles are missed.
