8.5

IGN: Far Cry 4 Review

IGN: "The Himalayan country of Kyrat is a place of myth, faith, secrets, lies, and beauty, and it's one of the best-realized locations I've ever explored in a video game. Kyrat is a colossal, dense, visually diverse place that feels lived in, torn up, and ancient. Far Cry 4 capitalizes on every available strength to make it an amazing open world for first-person action and adventure, while failing repeatedly in creating enjoyable characters within it."

8.5 is pretty good. I actually think IGN gave a game a proper score for once.

I don't have a lot of issue with their scoring, maybe they gave watchdogs a bit too high and alien isolation a bit too low but apart from that, meh.

I haven't played LBP3 yet as i am saving it for the holidays so don't know about that one yet.

turdburgler10803817d ago

I'd game fly LBP3 to test it out before you buy. It's getting lots of mixed reviews when I look at metacritic.

martinezjesus19933817d ago

I am a big lbp fan and the low score didnt bother me, its the ridiculous reasons and inconsistencies. If you are gonna dock alot of points from one game for being buggy, why dont you do that for all of them?? The too much water just set it over the top for me

ABizzel13817d ago

The thing is to find someone who reviews games that has a similar taste to you.

Mitch, Colin, Brian, are the only guys at IGN I trust when it comes to reviews, because they're generally unbiased regardless of the game (Colin is a PS fan, but he's still fair).

Everyone else I don't really compare, but I like some of them as people / personalities.

trywizardo3817d ago

good review , glad to hear that the MP is good for once :D

Rickgrimes953817d ago

The multiplayer is really awesome actually first time playing I went 18-2 felt badass

rivencleft3817d ago

So excited to play this, loved Far Cry 3 and this one looks much better, glad it received a decent score, was a bit worried with all the bugs/glitches surrounding Ubisoft titles right now. Going to play GTA V tonight, Far Cry 4 tomorrow, awesome month of games.

Kingdomcome2473817d ago

I'm kind of tight on money right now with shortened hours at work while finishing up the semester at school. I can only comfortably afford one game right now. I loved Far Cry 3, but I want to get into RPGs and Dragon Age looks great. Dragon Age will have way more content, but I wonder if there's a steep learning curve in games like that. I'm torn. Any input guys?

late but still a good move, oobi

InUrFoxHole1d 17h ago

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

OhReginald2d ago

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

dantesparda2d 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

Profchaos1d 22h ago

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

ETA next century

I_am_Batman1d 13h ago

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

raWfodog2d ago

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

P_Bomb2d ago

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

Yi-Long2d 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_Scum26d 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.

B5R26d 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.

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 .

-Foxtrot413d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor412d 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.

Profchaos413d 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

Demetrius413d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger88413d ago (Edited 413d 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.
