Far Cry is a 2004 first-person shooter game developed by Crytek and published by Ubisoft. It is the first installment in the Far Cry franchise. Set on a mysterious tropical archipelago, the game follows Jack Carver, a former American special operations forces operative, as he searches for journalist Valerie Constantine, who accompanied him to the islands but went missing after their boat was destroyed by mercenaries. As Jack explores the islands, he begins to discover the horrific genetic experiments being conducted on the local wildlife and must confront the mad scientist behind them.
The game was the first to use Crytek's CryEngine, and was designed as an open-ended first-person shooter, though it lacks most of the freedom its successors would offer to the player. While players can freely explore the game's world like in later Far Cry titles, they are most often discouraged from doing so due to the linear structure of missions and the lack of side content. Despite this, the gameplay formula established in Far Cry-placing the player in a foreign environment occupied by enemy forces where they must use various weapons and tools, as well as their surroundings to overcome any threat-would prove essential in defining the series' identity going forward.
Far Cry was released for Microsoft Windows in March 2004 to generally positive reviews, being praised for its visuals, gameplay mechanics, and the level of freedom given to players. The game was also a commercial success, selling over 730,000 units within four months of release and over 2.5 million units in its lifetime. The success of Far Cry led to a series of standalone sequels developed by Ubisoft, starting with Far Cry 2 in 2008. A remake of the game with a different storyline and new mechanics, Far Cry Instincts, was released for the Xbox in 2005, and for the Xbox 360 in 2006 as part of the Far Cry Instincts: Predator compilation. A loose film adaptation was released in 2008. The original version of Far Cry, updated with HD graphics, was re-released under the title Far Cry Classic for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2014.

Why does it have so low views, your in-depth overview is amazing, you revived my nostalgia for this game, I remember being fascinated by it's innovative physics and HUUGE levels.

I love far cry 2, i know its controversial but its so imersive.

[@nyandeyanen3]

I think if I had stumbled across this game back in the day when my experience with shooters was basically nothing but Battlefield 1942-Vietnam-2 it could've become one of my favorites

[@scalz420]

boiling point came out in 2005 and had helis, boats, planes, cars, trunkspace, leave car running, 600sq/km map, hundreds of sidequests

[@PoserDisposer161]

Far Cry 2 is my fav. It's the most unique,realistic,most detailed,replayable,dark, immersive one with the best ai and fantastic gunplay. There is no other game like Far Cry 2.

[@davidhehir7378]

I don’t know how to explain in but everything you say and do makes sense

[@Skakid789]

Openly says, "fuck those games I'm not playing them." For far cry instincts. --- the game where you actually do get to become primal and stalk your prey. Hence the advertisements

[@RainbowPh0enix]

Really love the peppered in quips and jokes - I’ll just be vibing to the music and chill retrospective and then BAM, 10/10 one liner 😂

[@NevadaCowboy576]

Ayy, let’s go, I knew you would do this eventually

[@TheGamingDefinition]

Absolutely fantastic watch from start to finish. I started with Far Cry 2 & always wondered what the first one was like, now I know!

[@MegaJamesbo]

Nice work! The TV app rules, even if I had to type this comment on my phone 😂

[@enricofermi3471]

You can kind of save manually through developer console (key "~") by typing /save_game, and the name of the save file, for example "/save_game sv".

Subbed and liked! :-)

I played Far Cry 1 a few years after release, when my PC caught up with requirements to watch the ocean and lush jungles in all their glory. I loved every second of it. Mostly due to visual fidelity as at the time I thought that this is as good looking as it possibly can get. Funny, right now I can't see what exactly I was so impressed with.

[@jayceneal5273]

there are quicksaves, you just have to enable it in a cfg file iirc

Hey I liked Unity😥

[@Azmania3000]

Everything is trash after 3

Far Cry 1 is my personal favorite of the entire series. I believe that if it were to release today as an indie title under a different name, it would be praised as one of the most refreshing shooters released within the last 5 years. It's only real downfall is its slow movement speed. If that we're fixed, the boomer shooter fans would go absolutely nuts over it. Playing aggressively on the medium difficulty is a great time from end to end. There are some stinker moments admittedly, but they are for more excusable than the bad levels of OTHER recent games
