Far Cry 3 is out and it is awesome. From a good and enjoyable story, to amazing characters and to thrilling gameplay, Far Cry 3 is easily one of the best games of the 2012. With an initial delay from its original release date to a time so late within the year, that it seemed like Far Cry 3 would be horrible. To our surprise though, that time was used correctly and in the end we received a great game. Right now Far Cry 3 is sitting at a 91% on metacritic with about 1.43mm sold to date.
Though for all the things that Far Cry 3 does correct, which is a ton of things, there are a couple of aspects that need to be addressed. So lets take a look at what those areas are.
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.
TheGamer Writes "Far Cry 3 is a time capsule of what game design was like in the early '00s"
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.
Yes Far Cry 3 was awesome, but the endings were lacking in well an ending, So far cry 4 should give that :)
"Story Co-Op"
No, it got a seperate co-op camapaign that should be enough, can we please just keep it single player focused in the campaign
For me it has to be a bigger map...bigger the better I say
I would like planes and helicopters to come into it and other vehicles in the game to find as easter eggs.
I'm not worried about it. I'm sure they'll come up with some great stuff. Farcry 3 is outstanding.
How about making a proper continued story for the FarCry1? You know, the game that started this all and that was fking awesome, except every other FarCry game after that had absolutely nothing to do with the first FarCry game other than just stealing its name for sales?
Snow. Make it somewhere with lots of snow and ice.
