I wish the devs of LITERALLY EVERY VIDEOGAME MADE AFTER FARCRY3 had a look at this image and text
jesus christ I'm so fricking tired of playing FarCry3 over and over again
it's the 'james cameron' problem where something gets popular because it was well executed and then everybody tries to cargo cult what it did differently without really understanding that it wasn't good because of something subversive it was good because it did something well. so people try and figure out what it did differently and it becomes a standardized archetype that is no longer subversive at all. like how a sequel where the bad guy comes back but there's more than one of them, or where the bad guy comes back as a good guy, is not a novelty anymore because everyone poorly copied the first time james cameron did it. its like how the matrix was completely different from anything anybody had ever seen and now sunglasses, trenchcoats, and dual wielding guns are standard action movie stuff
and much like the james cameron problem we aren't talking about high art, we're talking about basic b***h consumer entertainment. you don't have to have the veneer of artistry to make something good, but the people who are badly cargo culting the well executed shit are the people who care the most about "artistry" because they don't know a damn thing about why its good or not.
far cry 3 was kind of boring and shit but it was successful because it had a compelling bad guy. video games generally didn't have a single bad guy you were fighting over the course of the game before far cry 3, i mean there was robot hitler in a castle somewhere but that's not the same thing as having the antagonist personally antagonize you over the course of the game. like, bioshock? system shock before that? that's borderline niche, it's standard fare now but at one point it was kind of a novelty and far cry 3 is still the successful thing that everyone is copying until they see the next successful thing to copy
why did redditors suck this guy's dick so hard? >DUDE LE DEFINITION OF INSANITY LMAO >cutscene "villain" >couldn't even kill the doped up protagonist >his sister ends up becoming the final antagonist
You could remove him from the game and nothing would change
>playing RPG >get quest to kill rats in someone's basement >turns out... THE RATS ARE HER PETS AND THEYRE BEING KILLED BY MOUNTAIN LIONS!!! >okay now go kill the mountain lions
I would've rather just killed the rats honestly
Yes it is, the guy tells you she has a problem with rats in her basement and sounds all annoyed by it. Then you visit the woman and she has a line like "Yes, I have the problem with rats in basement" and then when you ask about it she goes "YES RATS IN MY BASEMENT ARE BEING KILLED THEY RE MY PETS PLEASE SAVE THEM!!!" I just played it a week ago.
Far Cry went to shit after the first game
really sad
an April Fool's joke turned out better than every main game since
>ubishit
the first one wasnt even good, bro.
fc2 was really mature and different (and technically close to crysis 1). Think about it as the Gta4 of the FC series.
I hate when games do this because it basically gives the fanboys a strawman to deflect legitimate complaints
I'm glad Michael Mando made it, good for him.
Literally the cringiest character in the game that only appeals to reddit tourists.
Of course thats to be expected from a loser like yourself.
Cope redditor
Vaas was fricking great, because his character and behaviour fit the story, MC and narrative
If you want to see a cringe character look at GTAV Trevor
>vinceposter
>shit opinion
every time
same he’s a cool guy
FRICK VINCE FOR KILLING THE BEST CHARACTER IN HIS "NOTHING HAPPENS EVERY EPISODE" SERIES
His career is over, he won't be getting more roles after BCS. Back to video games for him.
He was the Scorpion tease in the post-credits scene for Spider-Man Homecoming and that went absolutely nowhere kek.

These days a good vidya being released is subverting expectations.
They're just like us.

that's not even subverting expectations, they tell you to talk to her first and she explains the whole thing
Yes it is, the guy tells you she has a problem with rats in her basement and sounds all annoyed by it. Then you visit the woman and she has a line like "Yes, I have the problem with rats in basement" and then when you ask about it she goes "YES RATS IN MY BASEMENT ARE BEING KILLED THEY RE MY PETS PLEASE SAVE THEM!!!"
