Far Cry 3 was both a blessing and a curse. Why hasn’t Ubisoft been able to top it?
-
Because ubi looks at money, not feedback so in their book they have topped it since the other farcrys outsold it.
-
After Far Cry 2 I completely gave up on the series. Am I really missing out?
-
give 3 a shot, still my favorite and holds up perfectly fine even today
-
If you’ve played any ubishit style openworld game you’ve played FC3
-
FC3 actually has a coherent story
-
Which would be great if it wasn’t contained in an ubishit style openworld game.
-
2 was open world, you know?
-
Not ubishit style
-
2 was a Ubisoft game, so yes it was.
-
FC3 is the formula every ubisoft game has copied since. The kind with a million useless side objectives you follow on the minimap and check off a list. We both know that’s not remotely what FC2 was like and that you know exactly what I’m talking about.

Meds

The side objectives in 3 were fun tho, it didn’t feel like mindless clutter with a blinking spot you have to go to

If you play 3 you will be satisfied and won’t need to play the following 3 games which is the exact same shit
-
You should play 3 and Blood Dragon if you want more but after that just stop.
-
2 is by far the worst overall game in the series. But every game after 3 is pretty much a copy-paste of 3 with varying results.
-
2 has it’s problems but it’s actually a pretty good game if you give it a chance.
-
-
no lol, it’s busywork with shoehorned in stealth and shit. Exactly like every other open world/zoomer game.
-
Play 3 and forget about the rest.
-
-
Blood dragon was better.
Deal with it. -
>a blessing
fuck no -
The main character’s progression in 3 was great.
I like how you went from californian faggot frat boy to bloodlusted predator/rambo supersoldier over the course of the story.
I still like 4, 5 and 6 as well, but for the next one they need to come back to this kind of character.-
>Jason is mid twenties with a receding hairline
Why does this keep happening?-
>This is a receding hairline according to Americans
He just pulled his hair up

You may get your wish, since 6 sets up Vaas’ return-
>since 6 sets up Vaas’ return
What? Is this real?
Can you tell me more without spoiling too much if possible?-
It’s just a DLC where you play as Far Cry villains
-
Oh, so it’s shit then, the DLC look like shitty die and retry shit, thanks for hyping me up for nothing.
-
-
Based, but they have to bring back Jason one way or another though
-
Okay but why would anyone care? Did you not just see the commie propaganda fest that was FC6?
-
It’s just a reference don’t read too much into it
-
Yeah, they bothered contacting Michael Mando just for nothing lol.
Pretty sure he’s gonna come back as a villain in a next Far Cry game, there is only so much things you can do regarding psychopathic and egocentric villains anyway.
Unless they do a Far Cry set in an Afghanistan-like country, or in Siberia, now that would be nice.-
Yeah, technically we didn’t even see him die, we just had a weird dream sequence
-

The DLCs look like fucking fever dream challenge packs, dumb fucking melanoid.
What happens in the post-credits scene is canon, since Juan really is a glowmelanoid.-

Didn’t ask for your opinion when there are official descriptions available. -
not an opinion, it’s a fact

Don’t care. Didn’t ask. -

kek sure bud.
still a fact though. -
It’s not a fever dream retard.

It is quite literally, all a fever dream, lol.

didn’t notice it, it felt like the usual
>omg i killed somebody this is awful
>5 mins later
>guns down literally anything without flinching
shit that literally every game does-
Gameplay wise sure, but story wise it was fun seeing Jason becoming more confident and larping as a native from the island.
-
I remember that you start off weak then you level up and get tattoos (meta for skill points) then the fellowships start respecting you and treat you as their god
-
Yeah you’re right, they should have made it a movie game instead where you don’t get to kill anyone or do what you want until it makes sense and every kill is a cutscene where the character cries afterwards.
>LUDONARRATIVE DISSONANCE MAN-
why are you upset by the truth? why is telling this game has the emotional depth of a puddle so upseting to you?
is this your first ever game? you should take off the nostalgia goggles than m8

Yeah, Tomb Raider 2013 was the same way.

5 was better

It was mediocre, and every game after was also mediocre.
-
>you are not a revolutionary
>you are a molestation victim and probably a child molester -
it was a reddit meme, victim of viral marketing, take away vaas and you have just another far cry
-
>just another far cry
I mean it was the first of its kind and there’s a reason every ubi game since has just been a rehash. It sure wasn’t anything like 1 and 2-
>It sure wasn’t anything like 1 and 2
fair enough, it introduced some elements of its own kind, and holy fuck why do ubi try to shove a vaas wannabe in every game post 3?
>pagan min
>joseph seed
>anton castillo-
Pagan and Seed were fantastic.
Gus Fring is the worst antagonist in the series, as he’s just a mustache twirling dictator and nothing else-
they are just ok, should vaas hasnt existed they would have been phenomenal, but that not being the case they end up being compared and at least from my opinion vaas did it better
-
Yeah but Vaas was an actual villain piece of shit.
Pagan Min was literally an anti-villain, I mean in the story the dude is the MC’s stepdad, and all throughout the game he tries to reach to you.-
that I understand, my problem is, every far cry post 2 villain is basically baby’s first anarcho-authoritanism, once you realize their motivation is "whatever it takes to do x" they stop being interesting
-
-
-
That’s on the writers. They had one of the greatest actors of our generation and the only thing they did with him was basically have him die to ensure Yara is forever fucked.
-
-
Because Vaas was a god-tier villain and one of people’s biggest complaints about FC3 is that he gets replaced by Hoyt who’s far less interesting.
Because FarCry 3 was an homage to a specific era: the era of early 2000s beachkino. This was a specific time in mainstream culture where island aesthetics and the themes of esotericism, limits of the psyche, and aquarian philosophies hit their maximal limit (and it was propelled by the late 90s existentialist films like The Matrix, Truman Show, Existenz, The Thirteenth Floor, etc…).
Great psychological dramas centred on islands were created in the early 2000s and FarCry 3 was basically a celebration of that style.
Is it me or was 2012-2014 something of a brief renaissance for games that focused on being psychological dramas and/or mindfuckery in general?

All Far Cry games after 1 are shit.
Only Far Cry 1 is based. -

They did, with Far Cry 4 which is better in every single department -

absolutely based take

Because they got the nod and went full new world order, watch as the go down with the rest of their cult.
-
why do you guys love overrating this game so much?
the only memorable thing about it was vaas and he’s just
>le whacky whacko murderer joker wannabe who spews one liners before killing somebody-
It also had a fun formula of sandbox outpost clearing with the ability to make your own play style. A formula so solid that people have been copying it for almost a decade now (see MGSV, Ghost of Tsushima, every Ubisoft game since etc.)
You can bitch about towers and collectibles, but clearing outposts is fun.
-
4 and 5 are better games overall
-
Those didn’t invent the formula though. They simply refined it. 3 is one of the most influential games of the past decade on the industry as a whole by comparison.
-
-
-
The game was one of the first open world sandbox shooters and definitely one of the best games of the era. The vibrant island setting was also a really nice change from the prevalent middle eastern brown and gray.

>world is empty outside of main missions and like 5 alt missions only
>second island was clearly rushed and unfinished
>all the good guys are booooring
>main character has the choice of killing his friends WHEN THE ENTIRE GAME REVOLVES AROUND SAVING THEM
>looting is garbage meant to waste your time
>you don’t kill any boss in a real fightthose are only a few of its flaws
-
>>main character has the choice of killing his friends
It was unironically a good thing-
it would make sense if you realized your friends were poopyholes or something, but it’s literally
>DUDE PUSSY OR FRIENDS LMAO-
The games story is a deconstruction of masculinity and the white savior trope in videogames. It is meant to be stupid.
-
-
-
>main character has the choice of killing his friends WHEN THE ENTIRE GAME REVOLVES AROUND SAVING THEM
You missed the point of Jason’s arc if you don’t understand why they gave you this choice in the end.As for the other criticisms, it’s true that the boss fights were weak and that the second region felt rushed, but future entries rectified these issues.
One nice word I’ll give the bosses was how trippy they were, which really sells the idea of Jason gradually going insane as the game progresses.
-
>You missed the point of Jason’s arc
saving his friends and his brother?
you know killing them shits on the entire premise of the game rightI’m just saying people who think 3 is the best game are fucking retarded
-
>you know killing them shits on the entire premise of the game right
The game entire premise is Jason’s descent to madness, and the game offers you the choice so no.-
I never understand WHY he’s "going mad" supposedly. Killing a bunch of shitty brown people on an island that want nothing more than to kill you? Sounds like a pretty great time, honestly.
-
Because civilisation can never match the thrills offered by fighting for survival. There’s a reason war veterans have a really hard time adjusting to civilian life.
-
>Killing a bunch of shitty brown people on an island that want nothing more than to kill you? Sounds like a pretty great time, honestly.
That’s the thing. At first he does it for survival and saving his friends, and as the story progresses he begins to like it, his relationship with his friends starts to strain.
Plus he was being indoctrinated by Citra into becoming the Rakyat’s legendary godlike warrior.
Also taking hallucinogenic tribal drugs on a daily basis doesn’t help.-
>That’s the thing. At first he does it for survival and saving his friends, and as the story progresses he begins to like it, his relationship with his friends starts to strain.
it really doesn’t-
It really does though, you sure you played the game?
-
you’re literally on your way to escaping the island on the last mission and the fellowship sabotages your escape and kills the doctor who is also one of your friends
the whole becoming a "warrior" is shoehorned in at the end -
>the whole becoming a "warrior" is shoehorned in at the end
lol no it’s not
the becoming a warrior thing starts as soon as the melanoid dennis saves you from drowning at the start of the game
-
-
-
-
it literally doesn’t make sense you make that choice after the fellowship sabotages your escape at the end of the game
you’re literally on saving your friends for 99% of the game and in the end they say
>haha wouldn’t it be funny if you shat on everything you did during the game?!?!?
-
-
>you know killing them shits on the entire premise of the game right
point being jason is actually having the time of his life being a fucking psycho and that last decision of killing his friends is cutting every contact with civilization and embracing the chaos-
I always felt that Jason killing his friends and getting killed himself after impregnating Citra was the most appropriate ending to the story. He gives into the chaos and is ultimately devoured by the chaos— It feels very poetic. Plus, Citra being a literal black widow is very heavily foreshadowed throughout the game.
-
>I always felt that Jason killing his friends and getting killed himself after impregnating Citra was the most appropriate ending to the story.
uhhh no?
you literally do everything in the game to save your friends and your brother

So what? A list of pro and con list is not an accurate way to assess fun. Videogames are a mosaic experience.
-
-
-
-
the game that sadly invented ubishit open world, but as a game itself it’s actually still very solid, at least it feels like this was made by people who cared. And then there’s Blood Dragon which is soul incarnate
-
4 and 5 were better in gameplay
-
-
I’m so disappointed with FC6 story. I was actually hyped after I thought the kiddo castillo was kiddo Vaas.
-
Far Cry 2 would have probably been the best in the series if the stealth wasn’t dogshit and malaria and gun jamming was less annoying.
As it stands, the best games in the series are 3 and 5.
-
>Mijo, the difference between a buck and a slave, it can be hard to see. But it’s there. A true slave understands that loyalty to his master is key to survival. Not justice. Not love. Not even freedom. Bucks love to be the outcasts. They are addicted to their selfish perversions, chaos, lies. Like wild negros. But bucks can be broken. They can work the cotton field. And if a buck refuses to break, like Trayvon here, like Clara Garcia, like Libertad…then we must put them down.
How did they get away with this?-
its not racism if a white isnt the offender

4 > 3 > 5 > primal > 6 > new dawn

you are missing out, blood dagon is far cry 3 on cocaine

overrated
>grind for more weapon slots
>grind for more ammo pockets
>grind for more grenade pockets
>grind for bigger wallet
>grind for more grind
you are forced too grind first couple of hours before you can comfortably play without dumb fake restrictionsperk tree is random, some perks are useless in the late game but could be very usefull in th early
guns that you can buy are inferior to those that are given to you for free as a reward for avanposts and towers
also no balls on the writers to make a legitimate ending for staying, it needs to be "evil" and end with protag death, such a letdown
-
You don’t have to grind at all you spastic

this game awakened my jungle fever

It’s nostalgia. People grew up on this game.
You may not believe me but it’s been 10 years. No, seriously.
