"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."
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.
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
