That bit at the end with your righteous fury over Ubisoft shutting down Far Cry 3's co-op and multiplayer servers really resonated with me. I DESPISE how the games industry never bothers to preserve anything and even actively attacks efforts at preservation with lawsuits and C&D notices. So many games over the last 10 or so years have content that's dependent on servers run by the publisher. There's going to be a massive implosion in the future where 10+ years of gaming history just disappears in the blink of an eye.
2014-2017 games are gonna be the first big wave of shutdowns that really hurt, and sadly enough Massive’s baby, Division 1, will likely be the first of them to fall. Keep an eye on the news, Ubisoft shutting down The Crew (2014) will be the first warning sign.
@@brandonmorel2658 That’s different, OW2 is literally just an update disguised as a sequel. I’ve seen Fortnite chapters change more of the game than OW2 did. If it was shut down with no replacement then yeah, it would count.
I remember this campaign vividly, not because it was great but because we had an argument whether a steel barrel should be called a steel drum rather then a steel drum and we had a fallout, most awkward part was that he also invited his sister to play and he went babyrage. Farcry 3 co-op is truly where miracles happen
@@Raycevick Honestly also thought this footage was old when you said at the start to "forgive the usernames". Just feels odd when you see a game forcing you to use legacy usernames.
I played the co op a few times with friends and because we were in middle school and not good enough we didn't get far. I vaguely remember it being pretty hard. I do remember playing it with my older sister, beating the first level or part or whatever and both of us dying to one of the last enemies, being sent back to the beginning and losing all that progress. She rage quit and went to go listen to Justin Bieber in her room. Ah, 2012.
I beat it by turning on a second controller and switching off which one I played. I only had the co-op achievements left in order to 100% the game on Xbox so i grinded through it.
I almost cried with your defense of Daikatana's Co-Op campaign right to exist. This is why I love your videos, Lucas. You always make your research but goes beyond that, reaching the heart of the matter, the core of the game! Keep up the great work, man. I hope I could find your in some Mass Effect 3 multiplayer online match and have a good time! Thanks!
Hey Raycevick can you please review a very old games called "Project IGI" and its sequel " IGI 2 Covert Strike" because a new game in the series called IGI Origins which is expected to release in 2023 so you should play the old games before you ever made a review on the new upcoming game in the series.
The final part hit me hard. There are so many great games you can't play anymore due all of this corporate bullshit. Just today, I see Crysis Trilogy Remastered on Steam new releases (I know they were out for a while) and then I remember that those remasters do not include pretty fun multiplayer that Crysis games had. They decided to cut it out completely instead of reworking it...
Well yes, that’s what happens when you foster a soy face crowd rather than a peoples that holds companies accountable to expected standards. You know, kinda like America itself at this point.
@@billcipher9344 Why not let players run the servers then? Or have a LAN option? Or have peer to peer multiplayer? Any of these would allow multiplayer features to work indefinitely at no ongoing cost to the developer or publisher.
Not only did I play the co-op, I bought several copies of this game on PC to give to my friends specifically to play the co-op with. It was hands down my favorite part of the entire game.
Oof, your rage at Ubisoft's complete disregard for game preservation hit me so hard it got me fuming too, and I've already had flare-ups at it when the news first broke about the shutdown of 15 games at once. Well said Ray and keep up the stellar work! Also, I would fucking KILL for funny moments-type videos of your footage alone or with your friends, because the little snippets we get in these things have me dying every time. Hell, I'd even edit them myself if the quality of the editing between your main videos and these prospect ones wasn't as stark a difference in quality between Far Cry 3's main campaign and the co-op one.
I very vaguely remember this campaign. Never played it myself but I'm pretty sure Achievement Hunter did a full let's play of it back in the day. Good times
Funny that you did this after the Total Overdose, because at that game developer camp in 2012 we had another guestspeaker, the main technical lead for the farcry CO-OP game. She was picked out to head the technical aspect because of her work with DICE on what I think was Bad Company 2. She talked alot about the problems she face when talking to the higher ups in ubisoft because of her gender. She even said her 2nd in command was more respected by the heads because he was a male. But that aside, she requested that we not film her presentation because she simply could not promise herself that she not break any NDA she had signed. But she talked about the struggles with creating the coop mode with non existing netcode and that pressure of ubisoft promising a original campaign, when she had her hands full just getting the main build of Farcry 3 to run in coop. So I think that Ubisoft thought that getting a coop system made and implanted into Dunia 2 was easier. Also that Dev team for the COOP campaign was located in sweden so their work and timeline had to follow Ubisoft Montreals, and getting updated builds was a bureaucratic nightmare. Well I hope she went on to have a nice career. PS. This was the last speaker you can make a video for me to tell about my game dev camp trip, because the 3rd and last speaker was the main dev for unity game engine
My brain literally just exploded because after all those years and after beating this game so many times, I had absolutely no idea that the co-op mode was its own standalone story. What the fuck lol
@@javartan I honestly can't even remember if the co-op option was even there in the menu. My memory is a bit fuzzy so I may be confusing it with Far Cry 4, but I vaguely remember it being there in the main menu but I just never clicked on it because I wasn't interested lol.
The greatest challenge facing gaming right now is preservation. If gaming is going to be taken seriously as an art form, it needs to solve the issue of how to preserve experiences for both people who have experienced them in the past and for future generations.
I love how you are talking as if the art is the multiplayer. The multiplayer was clearly tagged on as incentive to get people to play the solo campaign - which is where the value is
@@sonice9020 For this game I agree but im general there are fantastic multiplayer experiences out there that deserve to be preserved but are inevitably going to be lost to time.
I feel like I'm having a massive case of the Mandela Effect because Far Cry 3 was a game I did everything in all the way to 100% and got the platinum trophy on. I have 0 memory of there ever being a 4 player co-op campaign.
Far Cry 3's campaign is amazing, no doubt, but I have fond memories of my friends and I playing the co-op campaign more than the main game. Rolling through the whole campaign with flare guns has the same space in my heart as the ending of Jason's story.
You're absolutely, 100% correct. An artist should be able to look back on their work years, or decades after it's created. There is no reason for them not to be able to do so.
Raycevick videos are one of the few I switch off my ad blocker because they deserve that ad revenue. Every single video is astonishing, the level of detail and thought that go in to them is insane, truly Ray is a master of his craft.
What a shitty flex. You're an asshole if you use ad block. Plain and simple. All content creators put in effort. You shouldn't have that right to decide who's worthy and who isn't if you still watch anyway. What a colossal douche.
Fantastic video, Raycevick! The word choice in your scripts is always so creative and interesting! Also, that "we don't need that when we're printing money" part at 1:18 was unexpected, but really funny
@@techzone1552 yeah, not to repeat the same point just about everyone else has made but things started to go down hill about the time ray left. Nothing against him wanting to go his own way and honestly his own content has been great. Bout died laughing watching him do his cursed halo playthrough
I played this COOP locally with my then 8 year old niece, we also played Borderlands. It was funny hearing her yell out "I need ammo" every now and then, and revive me. Man, time flies.
@@Raycevick ...I genuinely can't remember if Riptide was that bad or not. I remember Dead Island 1 being fun as hell but trying to remember Riptide is like... a fog. OH! Wait I remember the uh... a concert? You distracted the zombies with a concert? ...Is that really all I can remember?
this video came up the DAY after I thought about this co-op mode for the first time in years, I didn’t own many games growing up so this was one of the few things I had that my friends and I could play together.
Its crazy how this happens at time. I was thinking about the possibility of a crisis core remaster and low and behold there was a legit trailer a few days later.
Unexpected morning alarm in a Raycevick video. It's the only alarm I can still listen to and jam to, it's impossible to hate and it's always woken me up; never slept through one
My respect for you was already pretty high, but now that I know your favorite anime is Black Lagoon? Incredible, I can’t even measure it now. Kakeguri is pretty damn great too, if I ever get a gambling addiction I’ll blame it on that. Great video too! I always loved Farcry 3, even though I never got to try the co-op. It’s a shame it’s not around more.
Horde modes in video games are just something special, probably cause barely any AAA games make them anymore, they peaked with Reach Firefight and MW3 Survival Mode
Whenever video game preservation comes up I always have to mention Army of Two: The 40th Day Absolutely incredible game that did everything the first one did but better. Completely unlisted and unplayable unless you have the original physical copy and the original console for it. At some point those copies and those consoles will fade and noone will ever remember one of the best coop games to ever exist.
My siblings and I used to play Far Cry 2 multiplayer against each other, and it was only possible back then cuz of the LAN feature since we were pretty poor. And, man, the memories will forever live on. Thank you for adding that final message!!!
I hate the trend of cutting out multiplayer systems (or, really, anything) in games. I liked XCOM 2's multiplayer before it was shut down... but only on Windows and only by removing the button in the menu. You can literally just select the beta branch in Steam, copy the menu files + exe, revert to the latest patch, paste them in, and play it. Happening to other visual media as well, I remember a recent scandal about a bunch of content leaving streaming services and becoming legally unwatchable as a result.
I feel like I manifested this video. Yesterday I was catching up and rewatching some of your videos, and I've been bouncing between farcry 3 and 4 for the past few days.
I remember playing this game with my childhood best friend, we couldn't beat it past the fourth level because we got sick of the aforementioned bugs and imbalance on hard difficulty, thanks for the nostalgia trip, Ray. Hoping you are doing well.
For the part about kill-cams, I really like how Max Payne 3 had police shooting targets that showed where on the body someone had been shot. It wasn't particularly useful, but it was very good aesthetically.
Man, my only knowledge of this campaign was watching Achievement Hunter play it years ago. I only remember Ray getting eaten by dogs on several occasions and Jack getting run over twice by the same jeep.
I didn't know this co-op campaign was gone but thinking about it I never heard anything about it, I remember trying it out with my dad but we didn't get far
God I remember this co-op campaign I never finished it, I kept getting stuck in the cycle of only being able to play up to the train section over and over again, only playing with randoms anytime I booted up the game. I completely forgot about it until now, and I'm reluctant to thank you for reminding me.
I loved playing this with my friends locally lol also, can't you still play it locally? on the original x360 and ps3? its also less buggy than the online footage you showed here
I hate how cheap they were by gutting the multiplayer in the remaster for no reason. There’s really no reason it couldn’t save your data to local storage instead of online? I had so much fun injecting up syringes, gunning down hundreds with the dhsk, experimenting with decoded guns, dancing the Macarena, and when we killed the captain we celebrated. I think I got a fair bit of enjoyment from the different environments such as beaches and caverns because I’m easily entertained. I didn’t really see that many glitches but I got a crazy one in pvp where I became completely bulletproof and apparently invisible so I started stabbing people and it levelled up my gun.
I remember wanting to love FC3 coop splitscreen. The biggest problem was how buggy the mode was and how repetitive it became. Got to the last mission, but idk if we even beat it
Another mastapiece, Mr Vick. I haven't really had an opinion on the topic of game services shutting down as I've yet to be personally affected by it happening. If there is one that I should have cared about then I guess I don't even know that it's gone. But as you say, that doesn't make it right. Thanks for provoking some thought in me and we can only hope that it also touches someone who has the power to influence these kinds of decisions

This just drilled up a ton of memories, I remember playing this with my brother when I was younger. Those box-carrying sections were BRUTAL.
Whenever video game preservation comes up I always have to mention Army of Two: The 40th Day
Absolutely incredible game that did everything the first one did but better.
Completely unlisted and unplayable unless you have the original physical copy and the original console for it.
At some point those copies and those consoles will fade and noone will ever remember one of the best coop games to ever exist.
My siblings and I used to play Far Cry 2 multiplayer against each other, and it was only possible back then cuz of the LAN feature since we were pretty poor. And, man, the memories will forever live on. Thank you for adding that final message!!!
I hate the trend of cutting out multiplayer systems (or, really, anything) in games. I liked XCOM 2's multiplayer before it was shut down... but only on Windows and only by removing the button in the menu. You can literally just select the beta branch in Steam, copy the menu files + exe, revert to the latest patch, paste them in, and play it.
Happening to other visual media as well, I remember a recent scandal about a bunch of content leaving streaming services and becoming legally unwatchable as a result.
I've never played Far Cry, but super happy you were able to preserve this experience in a video!
I feel like I manifested this video.
Yesterday I was catching up and rewatching some of your videos, and I've been bouncing between farcry 3 and 4 for the past few days.
0:40 Alright Raycevick, wasn't expecting to be reminded of TF2's abandonment, but here we are! I'm sulking in a bucket of chicken now...
I remember playing this game with my childhood best friend, we couldn't beat it past the fourth level because we got sick of the aforementioned bugs and imbalance on hard difficulty, thanks for the nostalgia trip, Ray. Hoping you are doing well.
For the part about kill-cams, I really like how Max Payne 3 had police shooting targets that showed where on the body someone had been shot.
It wasn't particularly useful, but it was very good aesthetically.
I totally forgot that there were coop missions in Far Cry 3, I just remembered making Hamachi servers with the boys and having a blast.
Spec Ops The Line saying “we’ve got these things too 😢” is so fucking good
Man, my only knowledge of this campaign was watching Achievement Hunter play it years ago. I only remember Ray getting eaten by dogs on several occasions and Jack getting run over twice by the same jeep.
Good times 😂.
Goes to show how Let’s Plays can bring fun to an otherwise repetitive and boring game experience.
This video was not what I expected. Great one again, Ray!
I didn't know this co-op campaign was gone but thinking about it I never heard anything about it, I remember trying it out with my dad but we didn't get far
God I remember this co-op campaign
I never finished it, I kept getting stuck in the cycle of only being able to play up to the train section over and over again, only playing with randoms anytime I booted up the game. I completely forgot about it until now, and I'm reluctant to thank you for reminding me.
I remember renting far cry 3 when I came out and trying this out and…yeah what a strange thing it was
Anyone else remember the Achievement Hunter lets play in the FC3 co-op campaign? God damn those were hilarious.
I loved playing this with my friends locally lol
also, can't you still play it locally? on the original x360 and ps3? its also less buggy than the online footage you showed here
Your music choices are insane. Driv3r instant nostalgia, thanks.
I only remember this because Achievement Hunter did a playthrough back when they were good
That was the one where Ray kept on getting attacked by dogs
I hate how cheap they were by gutting the multiplayer in the remaster for no reason. There’s really no reason it couldn’t save your data to local storage instead of online?
I had so much fun injecting up syringes, gunning down hundreds with the dhsk, experimenting with decoded guns, dancing the Macarena, and when we killed the captain we celebrated. I think I got a fair bit of enjoyment from the different environments such as beaches and caverns because I’m easily entertained. I didn’t really see that many glitches but I got a crazy one in pvp where I became completely bulletproof and apparently invisible so I started stabbing people and it levelled up my gun.
... and DON'T wanna play
@@Ender11037 *and DONT want to play, dingleberry*
Fun fact you can still play this on PS3, it’s required for the platinum trophy to beat the co/op missions. On PS3 you can to do it split screen.
I remember wanting to love FC3 coop splitscreen.
The biggest problem was how buggy the mode was and how repetitive it became. Got to the last mission, but idk if we even beat it
so glad this content is being made and spreading this message!
I love how you wrap up the video it was really good.
Bless the guy who asked about Valkyria Chronicles, I will love to see you cover the series
I just watched some of your older videos and your voice hasn't changed that much
Your videos are always worth the wait
1:25 super unexpected to hear the Planet Eudora theme from Ratchet & Clank.
Great, now I've got ANOTHER game to revisit from my childhood.
Just wanna say, god bless you putting Run the Jewels as a track in this video. I love you for that
Ayeeeeee, you've got good taste!
Reminds me of the quote "I strongly disagree with what you have said, but I will strongly defend your right to say it"
Love the Cyberpunk Edgerunners OST in this video!
studying and watching this masterpiece at the same time, peak performance rn
24:30 Wasn't expecting to hear Permanent Vacation today. What a pleasant surprise!
oooooh, and a WET soundtrack choon around the 30:00 mark. Props for stellar music choice @raycevick
i actually fondly remember the co-op campaign from achievement hunters videos back in the day
I have so many good clips of just how absurdly broken this mode is, sucks that it cant be played anymore though.
42 minutes of perfect editing please.
thank you.
I laughed so much at the morning alarm bit in the credits, because that used to be my morning alarm as well
You can still play the co-op campaign on the 360 version which is also backwards compatible, I've played and completed it this year
Another mastapiece, Mr Vick. I haven't really had an opinion on the topic of game services shutting down as I've yet to be personally affected by it happening. If there is one that I should have cared about then I guess I don't even know that it's gone. But as you say, that doesn't make it right. Thanks for provoking some thought in me and we can only hope that it also touches someone who has the power to influence these kinds of decisions
13:22 that was the most emotion i have ever heard in a video from you
