CVG:Go!" the native islander says to you. "Return to me once you have mastered the jungle." "Wait, what does that mean?" Jason Brody replies. It means, as you'll soon discover, 25 hours of death-rolling in a crocodile's maw and impaling unstable mercenaries with a sniper-sights-equipped bow and arrow.
Following a series of repetitive games, a formulaic approach, and a disappointing last entry, the Far Cry series has been run into the ground.
The trouble with most criticisms of this franchise is that they insist Far Cry 3 was the best game, but the things they claim to hate about the franchise are all the elements that 3 introduced.
Ubisoft gets a lot of hate for their content filling of maps. Personally I enjoy the mechanic when i play an open world game I like revealing hte entire map and doing all the side mission stuff before i go into main missions. Far Cry and the RPG AC maps where a joy to play.
Far Cry 2 was soo unique ... it was ahead of its time and is often misunderstood (thank you Clint Hocking, can't wait for his next game Assassins Creed Hexe)
(yes, FC2 was a departure from from FC1, so in strictest sense, Crysis 1 & 3 are the truer successors)
I actually enjoyed Far Cry 5 and New Dawn. Far Cry 6 was a joke. It was a step backwards in every way. That was probably the worst Far Cry I have ever played.
Far Cry 3, an open-world masterpiece that redefined the series. Gameplay and storyline makes it a timeless classic that still inspires today.
It's gotta be Far Cry 2 for me, the feeling of that game I'm still yet to find again, just everything about it, I'd kill for a remaster, I'd even be happy with just a bump in resolution and frame rate, occasionally go back to it, think I'm gunna have to do just that now 😂
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.
Game of the Year, for sure !
Looks & sounds amazing. The only detraction I've read in any of the reviews seem to be about the game's slightly unoriginal but perfectly adequate multi-player component (which includes a MP map-editor on all platforms, may I add).
I had initially feared that Ubisoft had put this on the back-burner to make way for AC3, but Far Cry 3 has apparently risen to it's hype & surpassed it!
Looks like we have a new GOTY contender.
Could be, I enjoyed far cry 2 but I never finished because it was waaaay too long.
Pc all the way on this 1.
