"Far Cry 3 doesn’t tell you how to do things; it just points you in the right direction and lets you decide how to get there, and how to get things done.
It’s a faithful formula that’s certain to please not only fans of the Far Cry series, but fans of the FPS genre looking for a change in scenery from futuristic warfare and cyborg warriors."
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.
Really surprised at how fun this game is! First open world game in forever that I'm actually ignoring the main story.
Best game of the year to me and one of the best this gen. Just today i was wandering around near a river when i saw a dude just casually walking by. I start walking towards him and then BAM out of nowhere a crocodile grabs him and the dude disappears in the water and i just thought: WTF was that!? That right there is gaming moment that i will remember for many years to come.
just finished the single player campaign and I have to say it was quite the "trip" ... bravo FC3
Agreed,best game this year and possibly this gen in my opinion. I was silently taking a base from afar with my sniper,had two heavys left so thought I'd take them out with my knife now I unlocked that skill, get near and bam a bloody leopard grabs me and kills me before I can pull out my assault rifle. Moments like that make this game so special
I'm stunned how great fc3 is.
I was fully ready to dismiss mp....haven't tried co-op yet.
But mp is slick. It's not blowing doors or anything....but very good.
Back to sp:
I got chased by a leopard for what seemed like miles. (I ran out of ammo in the middle of a fire fight I was winning....stupid leopard decided no you don't!) So....I make to a river and was going to dive in....I of course get grabbed by a croc! Scares this sh!t out of me!
I struggle and get ready to die by the leopard waiting fur me....instead he decides the croc is the better bet!!!! Wtf! Lol
I ran like the wind. Looked back and the they were still dancing. Lol
