Jason isn't supposed to be relatable. I know this is a nitpick, But if you thought a spoiled, obnoxious rich kid with super rich friends and a super model girlfriend was supposed to be even remotely relatable, then I think you've misinterpreted the purpose of his character. Especially since his character development has him slowly devolve into a mass murdering sociopath
Exactly what I was thinking.I also can't imagine how they thought the good ending is Jason going back to his rich kid life in South California now that he loves murder and explosions.He couldn't adapt anymore now that all of his talk topics are about that one time he killed 20 people and 6 dogs to give an outpost to a group of island savages who don't even have footwear and are drugged out of their minds.
I related to him more like a adventurous slacker who does not know who he is but has to awaken the warrior within to rescue his friends and family form a dangerous psychopath but when he has to do even more dark shit he becomes dissolution with the warrior lifestyle but in the end he finds out that deep down he is better then that.
Mansen He's supposed to be a really nice guy in real life too! My friend who works for Eurogamer has met him a couple of times and he said he's quite a laugh to be with! :)
+Larry Bundy Jr I would genuinely like to know the creative decision behind that, because it strikes me as very bizarre. The way Vaas is approached and handled, he easily comes across as being the main antagonist of the story and presumably will end up being the "final boss" of the game. The whole act of killing him off at that point came across as a rushed decision or someone from upper management wanting something, because everything there after was far weaker than what had been done up to that point.
Cyanide Blizzard Maybe they thought the story was too short and tacked on the second part, or maybe (and knowing Ubisoft more likely) it was meant to be sold as DLC originally, but they knew they'd get a lot of bad press for it as it is the second half of the game. Would explain why the two parts are so disconnected.
+The Avid Gamer That's the charm of Jason, though. He's a SoCal yuppie piece of shit that you hate playing as, but I'd take that over the indisposed serial killer that Ajay is from the get-go.
Personally I thought Jason was a good character he is just a typical California partier who does not take anything serious until he is forced to do so by vaas. Ajay is kind of bland.
I actually enjoyed all the hundreds of collectibles especially the Japanese letters. They gave you a kind of narrative on what happened in the island earlier. But they could have done so much more with the letters like developing a dedicated quest chain that allows you explore more on the Japanese experiments, just seem like a missed opportunity. Everything else in this game i loved. This was the perfect FPS for me.
"Should I be offended because ? No I shouldn't because it's a video game." This should be some kind of real life EULA where it pops up at birth and you have to agree with it for the rest of your life otherwise... Some people get so easily offended by stupid things in stupid things...
This review definitely convinced me to give this game fourth shot. I'm one of those guys who never made it to the second island lol. You mentioned that the second half is a bit limp, but the missions in the first half were at times very tedious, à la GTA V, though that pot field mission is fucking incredible. The best times to be had in Far Cry 3 are taking over outposts or driving around the island and stumbling into shit, in my opinion.
Far Cry 3 is a timeless masterpiece. On its surface it’s another rescue FPS. But once you start playing, you start going down the same rabbit hole Jason falls into. In the time I’ve played it, I’ve noticed there other important themes: Insanity, addiction, and manipulation. As it was portrayed in Alice in Wonderland, everything was mad, or irrational, even Alice. Both Jason and Alice deny those however and both begin to indulge in the fact they’re the only ones who are in control of their environment. Jason does this by capturing outposts, killing pirates, and taking drugs. Which leads to the theme of addiction. Far Cry 3 is a game self aware, meant to draw in the player. The Rook Islands are said to be a place where you can do anything, much like a video game world. Buck even says, “I’m not playing the bloody game, you are. I’m just a spectator.” Under the influence of drugs, killing, and rituals, he seemingly becomes stronger, and thus becomes addicted to his role as savior of the islands. Of course, he was also easy for Citra and the Rakyat to manipulate. Dennis tells Jason he is special because he was given the Tatau. Citra lures Jason into the promise of power and glory for exacting his revenge of Vaas, and killing Hoyt in the name of the Rakyat. By the end of it all, Jason has become the perfect killing machine, just as Citra and the Rakyat intended. Thus you are left with a choice; save your friends, leave the island, and return to society from whence you came, or kill your friends (cutting you off from the last remnants of society), stay with Citra and let the insanity of the islands consume you entirely. Vaas said to Jason that insanity was doing the exact same thing over and over expecting things to be different. This is exactly what Jason was doing when he decided to continue his killing spree. But by the end of it all, things were barely any different. These make Far Cry 3 in my opinion one of the greatest video games of all time. In short: it’s like watching a movie written by Stanley Kubrick and directed by Michael Bay, and it didn’t suck.
Ubisoft: Do you know the very definition of insanity? Is to do the same thing over and over again expecting the same result. Also Ubisoft: Makes basically the same game over and over again.

+Aedan Clarke BREAKING NEWS. TF2 Has a psychotic Australian Gunman! This is the Most racist thing I have ever seen in my life. Please go shame the developer valve for being so Unpolitcally correct!
love the videos, currently watching your farcry and crysis videos, very happy to see people looking back on games of my youth. will be subbed to see what is coming.
Vaas was the best thing in the series. FC2 is the best mercenary sim out there, and was the most realistic. FC1 was one of xbox's best titles. FC 3 is good fun, but is very video-gamey. It's worst offense was that outposts and their patrols were permanently destroyed, meaning that the once alive feeling island is never dangerous after the first visit. FC2 didn't need any more check points because of its modest size. I play without them, and only a few minutes are added to a mission. FC2 doesn't get the love from players it deserves.
Starting the flamethrower mission and hearing Skrillex and Marley playing had me laugh out loud and will remain one of my favorite gaming moments ever.
I was watching "Better Call Saul" the other day and saw this actor that I couldn't place. It wasn't until about halfway through the first episode that I realized "Hey! That's fucking Vaas!". It's that voice man, it's very recognizable.
Played Far Cry 1 in 2006. I still remember most of the names of the people in it: Jack Carver, Doyle, Valerie, Krieger. I still remember each of the fantastically designed levels by heart. Played Far Cry 3 in early 2015 for 50 hours (according to Steam). Had a lot of fun. Don't remember a thing though.
+civilwarfare101 Awful? Far Cry 3, The Walking Dead, Dishonored, Sleeping Dogs, XCOM, Spec Ops: The Line, Max Payne 3, Borderlands 2. That really doesn't seem like a bad year.
Max Payne I mentioned FC3 in the beginning post. Most of those games are overrated especially Dishonored. I am not forgetting awful games like Resident Evil 6, Ninja Gaiden 3, Hitman Absolution, Silent Hill Downpour, Assassin's Creed 3.
I feel for you man, video games developers always stereotype British people too and get a foreign actor to voice us who assumed we're either all cockney or talk like the queen >.> It's like fucking nails on a chalkboard listening to Cammy talk in Street Fighter IV. But yeah, I've lost count the ties Aussies are either portrayed as either Crocodile Dundee, Alf from Home and Away, Rupert Murdoch or a character out of Mad Max.
It actually does make sense if you miss a shot and they know where you are. Play a pvp multiplayer game. One of the best ways to find someone hiding is to bait them to shoot at you so you can locate their position
I just started a new run of this after discovering my long ago in progress second run was lost when I had to reset my PS3 to factory default a few years ago. (My Internet connection went down during a system update) I'm glad they removed weapon degradation and jamming because Far Cry 2 was one of those games where the gun jam rate was so absurdly high that games where the guns never jam are actually more realistic. I hate how easy it is to take fall damage. I swear sometimes it feels like falling off my kitchen table would be enough to knock Jason down a health bar section or more.
and the lack of healing without syringes and the(good) fire system. and the insane difficulty modes. And even the malaria... Vehicles breaking down before exciting chases occur were a bit of a buzzkill though. Also why couldnt we shoot and drive until far cry 4?
Fa Kenews but master mode is definitely in the same vein of difficulty as 2. Just not quite as difficult, but hard enough you have to change your playstyle.
I really prefer the story in Far Cry 2 over Far Cry 3 or 4 because it's so minimal, yet good as it's almost a Heart of Darkness adaptation. Most of the time you just go, and shoot. That's one of my main gripes with most FPS's these days, as the story feels really tacked on and you dont get invested in it like in classics such as Deus Ex or Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay because it really fucks with the pacing. That's why i really enjoy the Borderlands series, even though people hate the writing (cuck Burch), there's almost no custcenes and everything apart from shooting can be pretty much skipped or is as short as possible. Also, please review Chronicles of Riddick - Escape From Butcher bay, it's a masterpiece.
FC2 has awesome story imo. When jackal asks us what has happened in this country because of us in the last mission; we soon realise that it is us who have destroyed almost everything in the UAC. Think about it. If we had killed jackal, surely some other weapons dealer would have surfaced within a year and do the same things jackal had done. I felt like I was the bad guy and he was good considering i sent him to blow the mountain full of charges and allowing ppl to escape.
Good review, but I strongly disagree with the character development and how you start as a wimp and turn into a killing machine. Before I got to an early story choke point in which he whined about having killed a human being (omg!11), I had slaughtered a few dozen enemies already, the majority with single bullets to the head. The player's skill and the character's should've been a gameplay element notable in the gunplay (like shakey hands to simulate his fear to end life), however, there was nothing of that kind, so I massacred them all. Now that I think of it, perhaps I should not have picked herbs near a crossroads to prevent the endlessly respawning enemy vehicles (with pushover AI on board) from running into me till I got bored and walked away.
I just finished playing FC3 and must say I did enjoy it. As the commentator pointed out, the stealth is very good opposed to the previous ones where I'd be crawling half a mile away from the enemy then all of a sudden you hear the assholes yelling "There he is!!! Get him!!!
I wish Jason's brother lived, even if he just died later. I hate how Jason, literally just a kid on vacation with his friends, picks up a gun, and has no qualms about killing another person. I would of liked to see Jason's brother show him how to defend himself.
I can see why people don't like the story, but for me, I loved it. I guess it has to do with how much you immerse yourself in the environment and the progression, and the playstyle you want to take it.
I got into this game when the commercials came out for Far Cry 4 on the telly. It looked fun but I knew better to just get the last game to see if I liked it at a reduced cost. ^_^ Great review by the way.
I loved vaas and I didn't mind that he died too early, i think they didnt overuse his character which made his moments much more memorable, it felt like a arc ending
One of the most special games I've ever played. Besides Crysis 2, Dead Space 1 & 2, FarCry 2, Bioshock and Dying Light. I hope they'll convert the PC version in an improved and extended version for the Xbox Scorpio. I'd love that a lot. Fans want more Vaas.
FarCry 3 was one of the best FPSs I've ever played. Especially the characters and the voice acting, Vas is a brilliant character, a sort-of likeable violent psychopath, that you hate, but you somehow appreciate at the same time. It was the pinnacle of open world games for me as well (not necessarily the mechanics, but the feel of the world and what you do with it), for example the mission when you set a field of marry jane on fire with a flamer and the dubstep suddenly kicks in, little things like that. Also the fact that you change as you go, by the end you become like Vas, another psychopath killer, just helping the natives instead of being a pirate ... anyway, 10/10 for me : )
The biggest issue is not mentioned: the grinding. You cannot even carry things/money if you don't grind to make increasingly large pouches and ammo containers. It's extremely annoying, almost as much as the atrocious characters/cast.
the transition from Jason-gets-his-ass-kicked to Jason-ass-kicker was in my opinion waaaaaayyyy to fast, at least in terms of his character development he went from "omg, i shot people" to "where's the enemy at, i want to kill stuff" in the span of 1-2 missions, at least thats what it felt like to me...
Good review my only gripes with the game and many people seem to disagree as they hated this is Far cry 2. The game got so boring once you take over all the outpost, I loved at the beginning where you'd be doing a mission to just running around and a enemy patrol would drive past or walk past. this stops once outpost are defeated and makes the game boring, also they should have limited how quickly you can take over radio towers, I did like 3 missions then spent the next couple hours just unlocking towers because I wanted weapons, before a quarter of the game was completed I already had all weapons on Island 1 also farcry 2 had a better weapons system, side arms, main and a special weapon, I felt way OP carrying 4 primary weapons, why have pistols if I could carry 4 rifles or machine guns. and last gripe was the repair tool took up a weapons slot, nothing sucked worse in the game than being stranded with a broken car out in never land with no outpost insight and you have to run for 30 mins. otherwise great game
Ted E Bear You mean the three second animation that happens once every few hours? I still don't get why people hate that so much. If your any good at the game you won't be caught in the open stroking out from malaria, and you won't be jamming your weapons so much. It seems to just be a case of "get good, or go home."
Liam Harris Jamming never bothered me it only happened when you picked up weapons off the ground. The pills were annoying esp when you always strategically run out, it had nothing to do with skill, it was an annoying mechanic which didn't add anything to the game.
Ted E Bear I suppose that the enjoyment of the game was more a matter of perspective than anything else. People were too suprised by such invasive mechanics, while others saw them as reasons to shoot up another base.
I think the guy was relocatable simply because bad stuff happens to the rich and beautiful as well, and then the mentioned motivation changed happened and in the end I was just sympathizing to my protagonist, I think the writers did a very good job in this Far Cry.
I also don't like when you miss a shot it gives enemies kordinates to youre location. but i have read somewhere that ubisoft did this just so that stealth weapons aren't too OP!
This was my favorite FC so far, the gunplay and maps were se enjoyable. And yeah, the "stealth" system was so refined, that you can take over an outpost using an RPG without being detected. Seriously, and its far more effective.
That guy playing Vaas is awesome in better call saul as well. And was one of the only highlights of that silly clones show orphan black or whatever it's called
Unfortunately, it's common sense to take all the damn radio towers, and you can literally accidentally make it where you have to spend all your ammo them restock just so you aren't holding the maximum amount of money and therefore can't loot anything. Which is dumb.
"Should I be offended that 90% of the characters in this game are utter psychopaths? No, I shouldn't, because this is a video game." Wonderfully illustrated the actual meta point that the game makes.
GGG have you ever played "The Thing" game ? what do you think about it ?(from what i read from the wiki, The game seems to be set as a Sequel and endorsed by John Carpenter himself)
+Uber Tiga Yes it was a bit of an underrated gem. But it had one massive flaw where enemies would show up as uninfected on blood tests, then turn into monsters 5 minutes later.
I never said the buddy system was "awful" in Far Cry 2. Nor did I say it's a "bad thing it's gone". The only thing "nice" here is you pulling words out of your ass to make up an argument. Mate.
u put the comment that theres no buddys in your negative section of the review, mate. you also said that the buddy system was useless and makes the missions last much longer. Just face facts mate you stupid kangeroo
The game was fun. But I hated the story campaign. You control this douchebag who miraculously learns how to shoot and hunt and become a perfect assasin in a couple of hours. And your friends never help you. And the dialog...cringe. I forgot how many times I eye-rolled.
Jason isn't supposed to be relatable. I know this is a nitpick, But if you thought a spoiled, obnoxious rich kid with super rich friends and a super model girlfriend was supposed to be even remotely relatable, then I think you've misinterpreted the purpose of his character. Especially since his character development has him slowly devolve into a mass murdering sociopath
Exactly what I was thinking.I also can't imagine how they thought the good ending is Jason going back to his rich kid life in South California now that he loves murder and explosions.He couldn't adapt anymore now that all of his talk topics are about that one time he killed 20 people and 6 dogs to give an outpost to a group of island savages who don't even have footwear and are drugged out of their minds.
Well hopefully he takes his skills to the military or contracting work. That way he hopefully mitigates collateral damage in the future.
He was relatable in a sense that he’s still a normal person without combat training in a fucked up situation and somehow overcoming it
I related to him more like a adventurous slacker who does not know who he is but has to awaken the warrior within to rescue his friends and family form a dangerous psychopath but when he has to do even more dark shit he becomes dissolution with the warrior lifestyle but in the end he finds out that deep down he is better then that.

Also, Vaas dies WAY too early in the story and his South African replacement is a poor imitation.

Would have been better to play as Jason's brother Grant more believable since he was a soldier so actually had combat training.
to be fair, he would have been a killing machine from the start.

Anyone even mildly trained with guns could take on the pirates IMO, the Mercs on the other hand would be a bitch.

But yeah, I've lost count the ties Aussies are either portrayed as either Crocodile Dundee, Alf from Home and Away, Rupert Murdoch or a character out of Mad Max.
Still, not worse than how Indonesians were portrayed in the Uncharted games which was so bad it's hilarious.
It's sort of explained in the collectables and notes that Rook Island had some strange effect of turning people insane over time.
It actually does make sense if you miss a shot and they know where you are. Play a pvp multiplayer game. One of the best ways to find someone hiding is to bait them to shoot at you so you can locate their position
I just started a new run of this after discovering my long ago in progress second run was lost when I had to reset my PS3 to factory default a few years ago. (My Internet connection went down during a system update) I'm glad they removed weapon degradation and jamming because Far Cry 2 was one of those games where the gun jam rate was so absurdly high that games where the guns never jam are actually more realistic. I hate how easy it is to take fall damage. I swear sometimes it feels like falling off my kitchen table would be enough to knock Jason down a health bar section or more.
I missed weapon jamming :/
+Kis Kacor And the buddies...
and the lack of healing without syringes
and the(good) fire system.
and the insane difficulty modes.
And even the malaria...
Vehicles breaking down before exciting chases occur were a bit of a buzzkill though. Also why couldnt we shoot and drive until far cry 4?
Fa Kenews but master mode is definitely in the same vein of difficulty as 2. Just not quite as difficult, but hard enough you have to change your playstyle.
I loved this game, I even liked the story. Jason actually evolved as a character.
I really prefer the story in Far Cry 2 over Far Cry 3 or 4 because it's so minimal, yet good as it's almost a Heart of Darkness adaptation. Most of the time you just go, and shoot. That's one of my main gripes with most FPS's these days, as the story feels really tacked on and you dont get invested in it like in classics such as Deus Ex or Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay because it really fucks with the pacing. That's why i really enjoy the Borderlands series, even though people hate the writing (cuck Burch), there's almost no custcenes and everything apart from shooting can be pretty much skipped or is as short as possible.
Also, please review Chronicles of Riddick - Escape From Butcher bay, it's a masterpiece.
Is it weird that I love Escape From Butcher Bay, but still think Far Cry 2 is absolute shit compared to Far Cry 1 and 3?
FC2 has awesome story imo.
When jackal asks us what has happened in this country because of us in the last mission; we soon realise that it is us who have destroyed almost everything in the UAC. Think about it. If we had killed jackal, surely some other weapons dealer would have surfaced within a year and do the same things jackal had done.
I felt like I was the bad guy and he was good considering i sent him to blow the mountain full of charges and allowing ppl to escape.
If Citra and Hoyt would be killed...would Vaas be better?
Thanks for reigniting my love for fps games my friend, nice to find a channel I enjoy. cheers sonny jim.
"Far cry 3 was released in 2002"
" years later I noticed that tiny mistake in pronunciation there :)
1:04 Far Cry 3 was released in 2012 not 2002.
+Neurotic Wolf Yes I know that.
Gggmanlives its cool, everyone makes mistakes
Good review, but I strongly disagree with the character development and how you start as a wimp and turn into a killing machine. Before I got to an early story choke point in which he whined about having killed a human being (omg!11), I had slaughtered a few dozen enemies already, the majority with single bullets to the head. The player's skill and the character's should've been a gameplay element notable in the gunplay (like shakey hands to simulate his fear to end life), however, there was nothing of that kind, so I massacred them all.
Now that I think of it, perhaps I should not have picked herbs near a crossroads to prevent the endlessly respawning enemy vehicles (with pushover AI on board) from running into me till I got bored and walked away.
still, he's a better character than Ajay.
I just finished playing FC3 and must say I did enjoy it. As the commentator pointed out, the stealth is very good opposed to the previous ones where I'd be crawling half a mile away from the enemy then all of a sudden you hear the assholes yelling "There he is!!! Get him!!!
1:03 ...... ummm not 2002 .... 2012 it was released.
+callum micallef It's 2020
I wish Jason's brother lived, even if he just died later. I hate how Jason, literally just a kid on vacation with his friends, picks up a gun, and has no qualms about killing another person. I would of liked to see Jason's brother show him how to defend himself.
War weazel that guy dennis did it tho
I'm pretty sure in game it's said that grant thought him to shoot I'm not very sure of it but I know for a fact Jason is already a natural with a gun
I can see why people don't like the story, but for me, I loved it. I guess it has to do with how much you immerse yourself in the environment and the progression, and the playstyle you want to take it.
I dunno, I always really liked Hoyt. Second island is great challenge. But I have to say, story missions gameplaywise start to fall apart there.
Wait did he say 2002? Or am I high as fuck probably both
looks great for 2002
it came out in 2012
PureDragonn, it's sarcasm.
I got into this game when the commercials came out for Far Cry 4 on the telly. It looked fun but I knew better to just get the last game to see if I liked it at a reduced cost. ^_^ Great review by the way.
1:06 you mean 2012 not 2002
I loved vaas and I didn't mind that he died too early, i think they didnt overuse his character which made his moments much more memorable, it felt like a arc ending
forgot to mention the co op and multiplayer part
Have you tried playing this with Ziggy's Mod? It makes this a lot tougher and you feel more like some schmuck fighting an army.
One of the most special games I've ever played. Besides Crysis 2, Dead Space 1 & 2, FarCry 2, Bioshock and Dying Light.
I hope they'll convert the PC version in an improved and extended version for the Xbox Scorpio. I'd love that a lot.
Fans want more Vaas.
FarCry 3 was one of the best FPSs I've ever played. Especially the characters and the voice acting, Vas is a brilliant character, a sort-of likeable violent psychopath, that you hate, but you somehow appreciate at the same time. It was the pinnacle of open world games for me as well (not necessarily the mechanics, but the feel of the world and what you do with it), for example the mission when you set a field of marry jane on fire with a flamer and the dubstep suddenly kicks in, little things like that. Also the fact that you change as you go, by the end you become like Vas, another psychopath killer, just helping the natives instead of being a pirate ... anyway, 10/10 for me : )
Kris Rudecki 8 out of 10 for me
just begun this on 360.
Awesome! I hope you have a blast with it. It's good fun and it's great when you have your desired arsenal.
The biggest issue is not mentioned: the grinding. You cannot even carry things/money if you don't grind to make increasingly large pouches and ammo containers. It's extremely annoying, almost as much as the atrocious characters/cast.
the transition from Jason-gets-his-ass-kicked to Jason-ass-kicker was in my opinion waaaaaayyyy to fast, at least in terms of his character development
he went from "omg, i shot people" to "where's the enemy at, i want to kill stuff" in the span of 1-2 missions, at least thats what it felt like to me...
1:05 "Far Cry 3 was released in 2002"
I remember playing this and not knowing that there are crocodiles in it.
Needless to say it scared the shit out of me the first time i encountered it
Good review my only gripes with the game and many people seem to disagree as they hated this is Far cry 2.
The game got so boring once you take over all the outpost, I loved at the beginning where you'd be doing a mission to just running around and a enemy patrol would drive past or walk past.
this stops once outpost are defeated and makes the game boring, also they should have limited how quickly you can take over radio towers, I did like 3 missions then spent the next couple hours just unlocking towers because I wanted weapons, before a quarter of the game was completed I already had all weapons on Island 1
also farcry 2 had a better weapons system, side arms, main and a special weapon, I felt way OP carrying 4 primary weapons, why have pistols if I could carry 4 rifles or machine guns.
and last gripe was the repair tool took up a weapons slot, nothing sucked worse in the game than being stranded with a broken car out in never land with no outpost insight and you have to run for 30 mins.
otherwise great game
FC2 was so good. FC3 was more casual. Typical Ubisoft n
Liam Harris if far cry 2 didn't have malerria I'd still be playing it
Ted E Bear You mean the three second animation that happens once every few hours? I still don't get why people hate that so much. If your any good at the game you won't be caught in the open stroking out from malaria, and you won't be jamming your weapons so much. It seems to just be a case of "get good, or go home."
Liam Harris Jamming never bothered me it only happened when you picked up weapons off the ground.
The pills were annoying esp when you always strategically run out, it had nothing to do with skill, it was an annoying mechanic which didn't add anything to the game.
Ted E Bear I suppose that the enjoyment of the game was more a matter of perspective than anything else. People were too suprised by such invasive mechanics, while others saw them as reasons to shoot up another base.
anyone else notice the black border around every character you see in cutscenes and in gameplay?
1:05 "Far Cry 3 was released in 2002" - Slight goof there. If anything it looks damn good for 2002.
Step aside MGS 2!
I think that you get to second island in last 1/3 of the game, not half. So you get that wingsuit quite late in the game.
i like your reviews as they are as truthful as the actual game :)
I wouldn't say that his transition from sane to insame creeps up on you. It almost kicks you in the face after a few story missions.
I think the guy was relocatable simply because bad stuff happens to the rich and beautiful as well, and then the mentioned motivation changed happened and in the end I was just sympathizing to my protagonist, I think the writers did a very good job in this Far Cry.
Great review man. What part of Australia do you live in?
you didn't even mention the mushroom sequences ??
I also don't like when you miss a shot it gives enemies kordinates to youre location. but i have read somewhere that ubisoft did this just so that stealth weapons aren't too OP!
This was my favorite FC so far, the gunplay and maps were se enjoyable.
And yeah, the "stealth" system was so refined, that you can take over an outpost using an RPG without being detected. Seriously, and its far more effective.
That guy playing Vaas is awesome in better call saul as well. And was one of the only highlights of that silly clones show orphan black or whatever it's called
Dude i saw 2 vids of yours and i immediately sub'd. You are very good and i just though that i should tell. Keep up
Thanks!
Unfortunately, it's common sense to take all the damn radio towers, and you can literally accidentally make it where you have to spend all your ammo them restock just so you aren't holding the maximum amount of money and therefore can't loot anything. Which is dumb.
great videos man 😉 you are the best
"Should I be offended that 90% of the characters in this game are utter psychopaths? No, I shouldn't, because this is a video game."
Wonderfully illustrated the actual meta point that the game makes.
Far cry 3 was released in 2002???
GGG have you ever played "The Thing" game ? what do you think about it ?(from what i read from the wiki, The game seems to be set as a Sequel and endorsed by John Carpenter himself)
+Uber Tiga Yes it was a bit of an underrated gem. But it had one massive flaw where enemies would show up as uninfected on blood tests, then turn into monsters 5 minutes later.
+Gggmanlives your troops also had terrible bladder and stomach issues. So much piss and vomit.
I never knew you could fast travel but now it makes sense
love how he says the buddy system is awful in far cry 2 but then says its abad thing its gone. Real nice mate
I never said the buddy system was "awful" in Far Cry 2. Nor did I say it's a "bad thing it's gone". The only thing "nice" here is you pulling words out of your ass to make up an argument. Mate.
u put the comment that theres no buddys in your negative section of the review, mate. you also said that the buddy system was useless and makes the missions last much longer. Just face facts mate you stupid kangeroo
@@Gggmanlives ur just a below average reviewer whos only popular because you have that bogan aussie accent.
and when I say popular, ur not really cause most people can see through ur shit reviews
HEY GUISE DID YOU NOTICE HE GOT THE YEAR WRONG LOLZZ
2002? hot shit thats like 6 years before far cry 2 and 2 years before far cry 1
1:04 you said 2002 instead of 2012
The game was fun. But I hated the story campaign. You control this douchebag who miraculously learns how to shoot and hunt and become a perfect assasin in a couple of hours. And your friends never help you. And the dialog...cringe. I forgot how many times I eye-rolled.
elguitarTom I disagree. I thought that how the story evolved was incredible
Are you even a human?
I loved the story.
Released in 2002? this game really was ahead of its time
Yeah it's pretty cool how Jason basically becomes Rambo.
