Far Cry 4’s Ajay Ghale Is the Ella Enchanted of Video Game Protagonists

GeekParty: "While I haven’t seen everything Far Cry 4 has to offer, I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on its story and characters. The charming, villainous Pagan Min is basically Hans Landa with cooler hair. Reggie and Yogi, Far Cry 4‘s requisite drug-pushers, seem to be unusually fond of R. Kelly.

And Ajay Ghale, the game’s protagonist, is straight out of Ella Enchanted."

I couldn't connect with this world for some reason. I loved far cry3, it felt more alive than FC4 does. Not sure why but I haven't played it at all after about a week.

UnHoly_One3757d ago

I played the crap out of the game, love the gameplay, but I agree that the whole Story and every single character in it is awful compared to FC3.

"While I haven’t seen everything Far Cry 4 has to offer, I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on its story and characters."

Wait....so what you're telling me is you have never seen the story, played the games or experienced Far Cry 4 but you know it well enough to compare it to something else?

This is why gaming journalism is a joke....A bad one too.

You know why I wouldn't say anything about the movie Frozen, let alone do a comparison or review? Because I haven't seen it. How does anyone expect to be taken seriously with this crap?

TheCommentator3757d ago

I've been editing maps since it came out and haven't played the story yet. Love SP maps; it's about time too, since Timesplitters was the last shooter to allow you to do it.

If you do the side quests and find the hidden notes left by ajays dad, it gives a little insight as to why hes a bad ass mofo right out of the gate. I agree though, at least the protagonist in FC3 had reasons to brew up to a cold blooded killer. In Far Cry4, its assumed its in his blood and nature. A real weak way for the writers to show ajays out of the box kick assery. With any luck, maybe Ubisoft will release some sort of Prologue DLC That can explain ajays claim to fame. Rigjt off the bat people seem to recognize him and are enamored at his presence. The game is still fun as hell though if you get past the weak character development. Sort of the same way I feel about Sylvester Stallone in the Expendables. I don't care the back story of how he learned to punch a guys head off.

late but still a good move, oobi

InUrFoxHole14d ago

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

OhReginald15d ago

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

dantesparda15d 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

Profchaos15d ago

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

ETA next century

I_am_Batman14d ago

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

raWfodog15d ago

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

P_Bomb15d ago

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

Yi-Long15d 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_Scum39d 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.

B5R39d 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 .

-Foxtrot426d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor426d 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.

Profchaos426d 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

Demetrius426d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger88426d ago (Edited 426d 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.
