GR: A good cry.
Far Cry 4's Kyrat, the scenic destination of protagonist Ajay Ghale, is both a playground and a slanted microcosm of Tibetan culture, guerrilla warfare, and an authoritarian regime. It's a world where the capriciously sadistic Pagan Min has pushed the diminishing Golden Path resistance to the southern border, where the bounty of mountainous cliffsides come pre-installed with grappling points, where the local wildlife approach and murder civilians on a regular basis, and where the flashing treasure chests littering the landscape hide such wonders as condoms and birth control pills.
The incongruence—a pristine, sacred setting adorned by waterfalls and massive statues to gods and goddesses yet at the same time torn by constant warfare—mostly works in favor of the game. Peering at the carved sky can bring moments of peace and awe where the nearly endless number of firefights do not. The open world has such freedom and verticality that it's almost impossible not to feel invigorated by the sheer geography of Kyrat's natural world.
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
India is a culturally rich and beautiful land which is a perfect setting for a video game. Here are some of the best games set in India.
Since the first game was released in 2004, Far Cry has set the standard on fantastic open-world shooters.
I would put 5 above 6 but agree with the other ratings. Though 6 has more refined gameplay compared to 5 it's lack of a compelling story really does hurt it imo but if you are a gameplay fiend and don't really care about story it makes sense.
Nice review. The game world looks gorgeous.
