Far Cry 3 was a great game for a variety of reasons, but what really made it amazing was the awesome villain Vaas and the amazing performance the voice actor did with him. He was terrifying and unforgettable and easily stole the show of Far Cry 3. So, how is Far Cry 4’s villain, Pagan Min, going to compete?
Far Cry debuted on March 23, 2004, meaning that next week, it will have been 20 years since Jack Carver first washed up on the shore of a tropical paradise teeming with hostile mercenaries.
I'd love a far cry pack with the original PC game (not the half assed port on ps360) instincts, predator even a port of far cry 2 to modern consoles back when these games had their own identity and weren't far cry 3 cut and pastel
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.
Can't wait.
I suppose you could say that he is 'vaastly' different!
I like that Ubisoft puts cool and interesting villains in their FarCry games and wish we would see more "big" villains which return in new games like Handsome Jack in that Borderlands Pre-Sequel.
Miss the times of superb villain /antagonist designs like Bowser in the Mario games which is so good that it is not getting boring even after 20 games
Hopefully killing him isn't a series of QTEs..... That was the only disappointing part of FC3. Whatever happened to legendary boss fights?
Vaas was definitely one of the best characters there has ever been in gaming. From the admittedly very little I've seen of Min, the 2 don't compare, not even remotely close. Min just seems like a bit of an annoying camp flamboyant emo so far. Not found him interested at all, in fact a little off putting so far.
