Farcry 4 Review | Gamespot

Gamespot - "Like the terrain if depicts, Far Cry 4 travels both high and low, representing the good, the bad, and ugly of video games all at once. It's awesome and messy and dumb and fun and annoying and gross and beautiful. Take any given adjective in your vocabulary, and chances are, it will in some way describe Far Cry 4."

This seems kinda low for a Farcry game. I liked Farcry 3. The bad guy is badass batshit crazy LOL.

tlougotg3819d ago

Opinions are just that, i really didnt like FARCRY3 at all which is why i wont be picking this one up. With FARCRy3 i fell for the hype and i regretted it. The online was also atrocious and looked nothing like the videos UBISOFT passed off as console which was obviously high end pcs.

Double Toasted3819d ago

Why are you here? Move along, you're clogging up the airwaves.

On topic: GameSpot...still trolling hard.

CoTton_MoUtH3819d ago

Exactly why I felt this was rent sub par online only games worth buying and keeping GTA V and LBP3

Unspoken3819d ago

Far Cry 3 was a much needed change over FC 2 but it was nothing like the first one. Best one in the series in my opinion. Then again it was made by crytek and much more tacticle then the simple theme park which is FC3. This looks to be more of the same.

radler3819d ago

Yeah, FaryCry 3 was terrible. The open world was utterly dull and lacking in character with the only real thing to do being to assault the same boring outposts populated by the exact same single type of enemy over and over again. I'm not surprised that FarCry 4 is the exact same thing but with different graphics.

mikeslemonade3818d ago

Farcry is boring. Only casual gamers like farcry.

Grap3818d ago

^^
yes becz teh coll of dewdy is for hardcore players.

Its the Kevin guy who reviewed games like Last Of Us and other good games low scores. I don't take him seriously.

noctis_lumia3819d ago

wrong it was that nintendo fanboy named tom mcshea who did the TLOU review and gave it 8/10

kevin van ord is probably the ONLY good reviewer left on gamespot atm

The 10th Rider3819d ago (Edited 3819d ago )

Tom mcshea gave skyward sword a 7.5/10... I don't see him as a fanboy, I just don't trust his reviews. Gamespot's reviews tend to be hit or miss.

BiggerBoss3819d ago

@noctis it clearly says in the article: "Author- Kevin Van Ord"

Tex1173819d ago

When its all said and done when a new release comes out, reading reviews, and then playing the game...I almost always end up with the same opinion as Kevin and about the same personal score.

Maxor3819d ago (Edited 3819d ago )

I don't take fanboys seriously either. The great thing about Kevin V is that he's super critical and doesn't hand out 10 and 9 because of the hype. I prefer his reviews simply because they let me know that Gamespot isn't being bought anymore...I'm looking at you IGN.

As for this review, it's dead on. Farcry 4 isn't the same techincal jump as Black Flag to Unity. It's more like Farcry 3.5 remastered in a new setting. But the biggest problem with Farcry 4 is that it doesn't have Vaas.

frezhblunts3818d ago

shut up noctis, lol nintendo makes good games and you can't take a good review obv!

TheWatercooler3819d ago (Edited 3819d ago )

Review score seems a bit low. I've pre ordered anyway. Looks good and a lot of the other scores have been good.

@TheJackson.

Sorry I mean't this score. I've edited my comment

TheJacksonRGN3819d ago

The PS4 version is at 86/100 right now. That's high.

poor_cus_of_games3819d ago

If you enjoyed the 3rd one you will love this one. It is similar but also loads more to do with a lot more animals to hunt and vehicles.

purpleblau3819d ago

too low. i'm enjoying very bit of it. 8 at least.

NarooN3819d ago

What a world we live in today, where somehow 7/10 is a low score. It's like anything lower than an 8 is all "horrible" to you guys. For what it's worth, a 5 or 6 would be "Average", and many sites outright state that. 7 would be above average, or "Good", etc. I'm not sure why everyone expects every AAA game to be some revolution in gaming or something.

dragon823819d ago

Exactly!! If every game got a 8 or 9 than there wouldn't be a point in doing reviews. This is a 10 point scale people. A 7/10 score is a very good game.

This is how I see it:

0-1 = Unplayable
2-3 = Works but is just plain bad
4-5 = Average
6-7 = Above average
8-9 = Amazing
10 = Perfect (Very rare score)

Svinya3819d ago

Dragon - No games are perfect, so there is no perfect scores. 10 just means it's so good, that any faults are easily overlooked.

aLucidMind3819d ago

@Pixie.
Correct. Technically, a 10 should be classified as a Gem. It has flaws but it is a game that is or should be sought after due to it being one of those games all of it's particular type should be measured to.

Assassingamer1363819d ago

The fact you don't even know Vaas makes me think you never played it.

frezhblunts3818d ago

Well I agree on the review, great graphics but seems like the third far cry plus ubi pushed it out so they probably rushed it too like unity

supergravity3818d ago

It is low, now I've only been playing since 11 last nite but I'm having a freak'n BLAST. I can't see it being a 7 right now feels more like a 9 although I'm 4 hrs in and not complete. I haven't even tried MP yet, but you know at this point I already feel like I got my $ worth. To me thats the answer.

dasbeer883819d ago

I wouldn't mind if Gamespot closed down soon. Their glory days back in the early 2000s are long gone.

Str8Chaos743819d ago

Yep it sucks now. Especially the site layout. I laughed at their Alien isolation Review, kid basically gave it a low score because it was hard.

jmac533819d ago

I give Gamespot a 7 out of 10.

d_g3819d ago

@jmac53

will thumbs up that's a good Review

mushroomwig3819d ago

Two very different type of games, what's your point?

midnight_233819d ago

Actually when you think about it, they are kind of similar games to each other now with the addition of fps in gta. If one gets them both, in a way one is getting two open world fps games. They both provide that experience now.

Link2DaFutcha3818d ago

@midnight_23 But when you ACTUALLY think about it, they are completely different games. Unless the similarity stems from them both being games that exist, in which case yes, totally the same.

Picking up both today, can't wait. Gamesgiving is upon us!

Walker3819d ago

Gamespot is not a valid source for game reviews anymore

JoGam3819d ago

Agreed. I don't trust their scores. Out of all the game Ive played that they scored I didn't agree with them. Found that the scores were too low for what I thought.

late but still a good move, oobi

InUrFoxHole2d ago

Seriously, it's great to see devs add things to older games.

OhReginald3d ago

Sony....you're really letting ubisoft out of all all companies to out class you??? Give us the bloondborne 60 fps patch....ffs

dantesparda3d ago

I second this (Bloodborne 60fps) plus damn, Ubisoft, you're doing great but now the last thing I want youi to do is mae Far Cry Primal 60fps and AC Unity

Profchaos2d ago

Everytime someone asks for a bloodborne patch it gets delayed 1 day.

ETA next century

I_am_Batman2d ago

They know it's gonna cost them sales of the inevitable Remake that'll probably come around the PS6 launch.

raWfodog3d ago

Good news for when, or If, I ever play it. It’s waaay down on my backlog list lol.

P_Bomb3d ago

I like these 60fps patches. Hoping they’ll do Ghost Recon Wildlands someday.

Yi-Long3d ago

Kudos to Ubisoft for once again going back to older titles and then offering a nice upgrade for free. I know the company gets a lot of criticism, in quite a few cases understandable and justified, but in this area of contintued post-launch support for their SP games, they deserve some credit.

Ubisoft Removes Nudity in Silent Far Cry 4 Update (New Info: Changes Reverted)

Update: Ubisoft has acknowledged that the Japanese version of the game, which includes regional censorship, was mistakenly released globally. The company says it has reverted these changes in the game's worldwide branch.

Ubisoft has quietly removed nudity from Far Cry 4 in a recent update, sparking speculation about Tencent’s growing influence on the publisher.

You can murder, mame, and viciously attack people, but anything that deals with showing a body in a natural state whether for titillation or narrative, is some truly terrible thing. We are so weird with our puritan thought process. Feed our bloodlust and fuel our enjoyment for entertainment of simulating acts of harm and murder, but god forbid you see digitized TnA. It will never make sense to me.

Rebel_Scum27d ago

tbh even if they did remove it, it doesnt matter. I dont even remember when there was nudity in the game. If it was there it was so inconsequential.

B5R27d ago

Agreed. It absolutely makes no sense

Also, even though Ubisoft reverted the changes that removed nudity, there's the bigger issue of developers being able to make large changes to the game you paid for whenever they want.

Kassanova0727d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Stellar Blade comes to mind. This is why buying physical is the way to go.

Played and enjoyed Far Cry, Far Cry 3 and 4 campaigns .

-Foxtrot414d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor414d ago

Yeah, 4 was good, was hard choosing which Golden Dawn member to side with, when they were both pieces of sh!t.
I've beaten all the main entries except 2 and 6, ended up uninstalling 6 to download something else instead.

Profchaos414d ago

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

Demetrius414d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger88414d ago (Edited 414d ago )

Same here, I don't know why these games get so much hate. I've thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them, with only a couple of exceptions. I wish they'd hurry up and announce Far Cry 7. The only thing I'm concerned about is the rumoured time limit.
