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.
One thing I dont like is that fire is alot harder to get going with a flare, Molotov or fire arrow than in the second game, which was my favourite part of it.
I guess you could argue that the jungle is alot greener and therefore harder to burn, but I dont think fun should be sacrificed for realism.
Yes a bush will still burn if you let loose with a flamethrower, but the other methods I mentioned just arent reliable enough. Sometimes they just wither out, not giving you the distraction you were going for.
And why cant I just have a lighter, not taking up a weapon slot, and always at the ready. I mean, just how am I lighting these arrows and molotov's. I must have one, yet I cant just light anything at any time.
Still loving the game though, thats just my little peeve.
PS, you should be able to drag bodies in any game that has such a good stealth element.
Picking my copy up in the morn, took tomorrow night off
I may try singleplayer tonight its just so daunting have not been botherd im too lazy lol,co op has been a blast wish the whole game was co op.
This game is simply amazing. Many people seem to be disappointed with the MP. They forget MP is not the main focus of FarCry 3. You play it for the SP.
I completed it lastnight and guys you won't be disappointed I thought it was a little slow at the biggining but once that's out of the way you will have a great time and don't forget to upgrade you packs because the game will be a little harder if you don't.
