Atleast they stayed in character with Pagan's ending. He was really like "I don't know what the fuck you expect me to do now. Take Kyrat, it's yours now, I'll piss off."
@@hebrewgoldman2697 I shot Min at that end cinematic in his Palace. I didn't think the game would let me do that! I even brought the rocket launcher to blow him up in his helicopter.
I once scouted a whole base and was ready to attack until the enemies got all aggro for some reason, I looked at the other side of the camp and a random Rhino had shown up and was like "Fuck these guys in particular" and it was so cool to watch the game sort of react to itself Edit: I also got credit for taking the place undetected after killing one dude
If at the beginning of the game, if you don't move for fifteen minutes, Min will come back, you will scatter your mom's ashes and you just won the game
isaac garris It's absolutely true. Search "far cry 4 alternate ending". I actually prefer it to the "real" endings, because it actually makes sense. A slightly unhinged dictator captures you and takes you to his house, do you A) join a guerrilla resistance movement, strap yourself with as many guns and explosives as you can carry and go to town, or B) just sit tight and hope it all works out?
Fuck Yobs deadliest thing in the game I survived wave after wave in the arena guys with machine guns, body armor, flamethrowers, tigers, bears, elephants, no problem honey badger shows up I'm dead
I learned the hard way why you don’t use incendiaries on a honey badger. It won’t kill or stun lock the beastie line it did everything else, no it just means the immortal chittering demon weasel can set YOU on fire before killing you.
My number one complaint I had with this game, and this may be somewhat subjective, is that after every single main story mission, the person you didn't agree with on how to go about the mission traps you in a room for 5 minutes to scream at you about why they were right, you are an idiot, and everything is now ruined. There's no chance to defend your actions, no input from the other character you did back up, you just have to sit there and be screamed at for taking what you decided was the most morally correct action. I hated it. It felt like my character's agency was being totally undermined, since the game effectively decided that every single choice was the wrong one.
+Klishar122 The Pagan ending would be fine if the game would actually have the balls to let you ride this helicoper attack on the rebels and maybe end the game after the attack on the base. But i guess you cant make a game where you play for the ruthless dictator.
+Aegis270 Yeah, it was really frustrating to listen to Sabal's bullshit arguments all the time without being able to counter them: "Our traditions are important to our identity, Ajay! You are a disappointment to your father, Ajay! Worshiping little girls and slaughtering non-believers is perfectly fine, Ajay! Traditions, Ajay! Traditions!"
I started pretending the main character in Far Cry 4 was actually a CIA android from the future, based on the fact that we only have his word that he's actually here for the whole mum's ashes deal, the weird visual glitches my AMD video card caused that I dismissed as HIS video card glitches (to preserve my sanity), the fact that he can tag enemies, the HUD, the fact that like the previous games he only ever takes damage to his left forearm (it's clearly a patch of synthetic skin to show off in case someone accuses him of being a cyborg), and that I unlocked what was absolutely Robocop's gun from the future.
IIRC, the "wait for Pagan to come back" ending is considered the canon ending, since all other endings just screw things up worse no matter what you do.
I would have sided with Pagan faster than Amita and Sabal could blink. They can keep their stupid morals to themselves. I would have just sat down, stayed where I was, and enjoyed the Crab Rangoon until Pagan got back if I had the option.
Yeah. I cycled through the comments and found that out. Still though, I didn't sit for 15 minutes. Also, that ending (the real ending for me) was awesome. Pagan is just a cool dude all around.
kotekzot yeah but unfortunately the game ends. Would have been awesome if instead of being an easter egg ending it would be an actual beginning and then you could go around Kyrat stomping out the remains of the Golden Path.
Neenjah Rammus I gotta ask, why are so many people interested in siding with the unidimensional children cartoon-tier villain? I mean, I like him as well, especially considering he makes the game feel "lighter" and more fun. But come on, am I over empathizing when I feel unable to side with a character that is leeching off a whole country, making everyone's lives poor and miserable for no real reason? To be honest, the character feels completely incompetent to me. He's supposed to have conquered a country from the inside, meaning he'd need to be clever and charismatic. Instead, we see a narcissistic men who can't really do anything to stop the Mighty Foreigner Who Just Arrived from single-handedly conquering all of his territory. And that's not to mention the ABSOLUTELY unnecessary level of "evilness" he employs to... what, acquire wealth? Come on, you don't need slave labor when you have fucking taxes for everything. At first this shit sounded so unreal that I thought maybe the game was set in the middle of last century or something. He could be ungodly rich and still at least pretend to give people everything they need, so the rebels would be a lot weaker. Same goes for Yuma, who was supposed to be super smart and pragmatic but for no fucking reason just let the situation escalate to a point of no return. God, this must have been one of the worst written games I've ever played. And I'm very easy to please.
Far Cry 4 highlights my main problem with open world game lately. Basically you're a kid sitting in a huge sandbox with way too many toys, and no idea where to start. The kicker being the toys are all different colors of the same bucket and shovel. In this case you also look to the side to see there are many other sandboxes that look exactly like yours with the names Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs plastered on the side. You have the fast and beautiful worlds, but they are populated by things to do that amount to absolutely nothing. So you find your self just sweeping away at the map until you eventually get to 100% completion.
Suruga Kanbaru about the whole "so many toys, no idea where to start" thing: Skyrim does the same thing, and look how good that game was. I don't get the problem of being lost in the world. It just sucks you in more.
Daemeon 93 Ya it certainly does. There is something special about Oblivion and Skyrim though. Not sure if I could put my finger on it exactly but it does it well. Probably because in Elder Scrolls you have the map littered with dungeons. Each dungeon may reuse textures but the layouts are all different. Most of them usually end with a breadcrumb trail that takes you onto the next area as well. I think that's what missing from some open world games though. A sense of purpose. "I'm going in this cave to grab this heirloom sword and kill this Bandit leader. " feels better than going to liberate bad dude camp 3/10.
Suruga Kanbaru I played Saints Row IV and it felt like what Yahtzee described. Doing the missions and finding clusters felt like doing it just so it's done. That's the same thing motivating me to finish short boring games or play for another 5 minutes to unlock a last silly achievement I'm missing... that can't be a good sign for gameplay. In some way games like Saints Row IV feel like one of the old "200 games in 1" packages. You can do 200 things but none of them feel polished enough to be fun. If I have the choice between playing 200 different low-quality Mario clones or a single good game I'd pick the latter. Seriously, the amount of times Saints Row IV tried to be something else than simply Saints Row is staggering: Why am I racing around firewalls? Why am I climbing towers? Why am I suddenly playing an Endless Runner game? And most importantly: Why doesn't this have any purpose except some number of "mission of type X completed" going up by 1?
by the way, when the last pagan min cutscene ended I immediately thought what would happen If I killed him? and immediately blew up the helicopter, and making the king is dead appear in pink letters.
They could've had you try to escape Kyrat in the beginning after meeting Pegan Min and you get stopped by Pegan Min on the way out and the rebels save you so you fight for them knowing its your only way out. That would've made more sense then, meh lets kill cause yolo.
TheKrigeron I heard the monkeys that throw there own shit are more intelligent. It was the Daily Mail, so that article was just them trying to justify what they do.
The most satisfying ending is when you wait for Pagan Min to get back when you're still at the dining table in my opinion. Short but pretty damn satisfying.
CapnTates Yeah and at the end of the cut scene he's all like "Well did you get that out of your system?, good now let's go shoot some fucking guns" lol i laughed my ass off. I think Pagan Min was a very good villain.
Tom Swift Definitely I think an "evil" option would have made the game a true sequel. And not "just another ending" besides the "in game" CIA agent didn't care about continuity, so why should we?
That works too. Pagan's regime was awful, but the golden path isn't much better. Given how much Pagan likes you, it'd be no large stretch for Ajay to become king one day.
I miss the ending credits and quips that are in the Escapist's websites ZP videos "Additionally, 'smack on bum and close door in face' is a good way to deal with Jehovah's Witnesses"
"Oh no! Don't go to the next mission yet! One of your strongholds is under attack!" "Oh no! What will happen if I don't help out?" "Oh no! Fuck all!" "Oh no! Probably leave it then."
I honestly preferred Pagan Min to Vaas the Arse. While both are pretty damn strong villains, Pagan Min is a bit less obviously villainous. Vaas is just a psychopath that does psychopathic things because he's a psychopath, but Pagan Min can almost be seen as a pseudo good guy in Far Cry 4 (especially considering the secret ending).
From a narrative standpoint, I think I agree, but I have to admit that Vaas is just much more entertaining when he's on screen. I adore Micheal Mando's performance. Pagan is strong too, but not quite as fun.
Like Yahtzee said, his parents sounded like much more interesting characters, so i'm personally hoping for a prequel/prologue type of DLC from that time.
From what I've heard there will be a sequel to Blood Dragon, whether it will have the title Far Cry 4 in it, I don't know, but Blood Dragon was successful and loved enough to warrant a sequel to it.
He didnt tear far cry 3 in part, he sad that some small parts was bad. You can admit some parts are bad and still love a game. When i play i always go, WTF that makes no sense, or well this part sucks and still i like most of my games
*** Spoiler Alert Ahead *** 5:26 - I think that was the whole point of the story: what was the point of all that killing? What, to liberate the country? Pagan Min was going to hand it over to you on a silver platter, seeing as how you were his stepson. So in the end, yeah, the smart thing to do is just sit at the start and wait for Pagan to come back for you.
thickterranarmor so to proof your point you brought a review made by an asshat who is about as relevant to gaming as Michel bay is relevant to good movies?
The secret ending where you wait when Pagan Min tells you to wait is fun though. Similar to the actual ending except with zero violence. Sounds boring but funny if you do that right after playing through the entire game first.
Not sure cause it takes less than 2 hours to get that so you could get that secret ending and since it's more fulfilling than the rest just stop there and then get a Steam refund and be better off with both time and money!
Finally. I've been reading reviews and I don't see many people acknowledging the inferior story and characters, in comparison to FC3. I know many people had issues with FC3's story, but it hit the basic bullet points by giving purpose to the character (survival at first, then rescue, then revenge, and among all that, becoming this tribal warrior while being guided/manipulated by Citra - depending on interpretation) . In FC4, I had to struggle to suspend my disbelief and just kept going through the motions. I actually like the ending and I appreciate the original writing that ties the beginning to the end, but that's just two cutscenes worth of content; everything in between is kinda meh. The gameplay's fine though, so it's still a fun game to play, but if someone had to pick between the two, I'd recommend FC3 instead.
Jonathan Sotelo I forgot about that. Guess that was kinda silly. I guess suddenly going into a drug induced euphoric killing mode is like a deus ex machine.
Yeah, that was a little too convenient but I wouldn't call it a plot hole since we don't see what REALLY happens. Btw, you could also interpret those moments as supernatural in nature which would explain Jason's unlikely success. I believe the game doesn't force one particular interpretation of the story on the player.
***** Okay, okay, we get it. They made the game all meta and shit so all the hipsters who see it for what it is can tip their fedora hats at each other in acknowledgement. Who cares? Some of us like a little more context to mindless killing via a good story and we're sorry for that.
***** Point is, who says video games can't have good stories? Criticizing Far Cry 4's story as being inferior to 3's is legitimate. And trying to break the fourth wall isn't edgy, it's kind of overdone so I'm not impressed.
You know what bothers me about far cry 4? The fact that "No animals seem to be interested in your bait" did not become a meme. It's such an obvious thing that everyone missed!
To be honest I didn't get into FC 3 arc because of the way the "storytelling" was hammer down our throat with way to much enthusiasm. The sandbox on the other hand, pure joy!
Callum Morgan yea one of the things I liked about farcry3 was Brody vocalizing how fucked up everything is. FC4 you start out. I'm not a soldier, but I do like murdering the shit out of everything, I mean you start off with a knife and mission 1 is killing everybody. mission 1 in FC3 was run for your life they are shooting at me....
Far and away the best ending is the secret one which, funnily enough, accomplishes the main character's goals in less than half-an-hour while not requiring you to actually play the game.
I'm not making fun of the escapist or anything, but I do think it's funny that this channel is now basically "zero punctuation" and "more zero punctuation". Yahtzee has two channels now. Whee.
I really preferred the multiple island set up over the continous jungle. It allowed me to basically sweep an island and just keep an eye on the water for gunboats. Now like Zahtzee said the animals are almost to numerous. And because of the set up they can spawn across the map and theoretically walk to you and attack you. Obviously this didn't happen, I hope but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised because I seriously could never find good sniping spots that i didn't get attacked by some animal regardless of how much time I spent clearing out the area of animals.
Im so glad he addressed the whole Ajay doesn't transform or develop like Jason did thing cause it pissed me off at the end when Pagen brought up the whole are you a psycho thing and I thought that line woulda been awesome in far cry 3 if they used it then, whereas Ajay just picked up a gun and was a baddass with zero military background experience and can use every vehicle in the game with no bother when he may not even have something like a flight license or practise at climbing mountains with a hook.
Best moment so far was shooting a captive elephant in the ass with an arrow and watching it freak out and fling all the bad guys about until I won the base. Good times.
Min, is in that club of villains we all kind of wish that we could have teamed up with rather than oppose throughout most of the game and/or movie. This exclusive club also includes: The Major from Hellsing, Loki from Avengers, Jack from Borderlands, and Hazama from Blazeblue... just to name a few.
God damnit Benny, You shoot me in the head and leave me for dead, but I survive. I track you down and tell you I'm friendly and wanna team up and you send a hit squad after me. I kill the hit squad, tell you that I genuinely forgive you, and you still runoff to Caesar. I come to The Fort and Caesar offers me you on a silver platter, I refuse to kill you, kill Caesar, his guards, his entire military force outside of his tent, and everybody at the entrance instead, and tell you you're free, and even offer to help you take over, and you walk off the scene, leaving me high-and-dry. God damnit Benny. I just wanna be friends.
I wonder if yahtzee found the hidden ending where you don't even need to play the game. Just be a good dinner guest and you are allowed to leave peacefully. Really puts the whole struggle into perspective and makes you into a dick.
Not sure if you are aware of this Yahtzee but you can actually skip the whole game by simply sitting and waiting for Pagan to just show back up at the dinner table. Everything you do in he game is ultimately pointless.
End Text Jokes: "Never stops crying Smack on the bum and close door in the face is a proven method for keeping Jehovah's witnesses away Petition to rename 'honey badger' to 'wasabi mongoose'."
Min is awesome, all you have to do is follow one easy request and you save yourself (in game) weeks of near death shenanigans. I think I would have preferred it if by doing that you actually got to join Min's forces though.
I liked Fc4 playing right now actually I just wish the,main bad guy was more present and I wish they make it a little more intresting to struggle like fc2 with rhe plot style of fc3 that would be epic
I really don't think being similar to the previous game is a bad thing, since Far Cry 3 was awesome. Far Cry 4 is its predecessor with a few new things added, which is just fine by me, since I know I'll be having a blast just like I did in Far Cry 3. And right now, I definitely am! But I do agree that the story is inferior to the last, to the point where it actually bothers me a little. I don't feel motivated to fight with the Golden Path against Pagan. Rather, I'm just going along with it. But what really bugs me is how much of a fucking doormat Ajay is. He just goes along with what people say, doing what people tell him to do. This really shows when I'm forced to choose between Amita or Sabal for the next mission, because if I choose one, I get scolded by the other for not siding with them. I decided to side with Amita for the first mission, but after being scolded by Sabal, I actually felt bad because I let people die, and I can understand why he's so emotional over it. But for the next mission, I chose to side with Sabal and burn down the drug fields rather than take them, which is what Amita wanted me to do. And when she scolded me for that, I didn't buy any of it. I felt that she was mad at me ONLY because I didn't side with her. Again, I could understand Sabal being angry with me for letting people die, but when Amita started giving me lip, I just wanted to step in and be like, "Look bitch, I'm sorry I took away your opportunity to get high, but there's no reason to be THIS upset over it. Get over yourself!" But no, Ajay just remains mostly silent and takes her verbal beatings. With all of that said, it's still an awesome game. I'm having just as much fun as I did with Far Cry 3, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Finally, thank you. It was so annoying to just hear her whine about drugs, like that's all that mattered. Who wouldn't choose to save lives(Other than Ajay)?
You are trapped there, like in far cry 3. You are rescued by the people you help, and without eliminating the enemies, you won't be able to get out. You also want to find out more about your mother and father, and much of the plot is unraveling their past. I found that many of the side characters were well done and clearly defined, and the Shangri la missions were as interesting as they were beautiful.
2:10 you can actually do this in game. If in the very starting mission in the villains house, he will ask you to wait for a minute while he does something. You would usually take this opportunity to run away but if you actually wait there in game, like he asked you, he will spread your ashes and you will go home and the game will end. This means you can finish the game in about 10 minutes
I can say with full confidence that in all my time on TH-cam, no video subtitle has resonated with more than the _F**k Eagles_ subtitle for this video. #TheFeels
Let's go back to Vaas. He was underexplored and clearly has a backstory worth revisiting. There could be an entire Far Cry where you play as a young Vaas, climbing the ranks of his pirate gang and making the transition into a ruthless lunatic. It'd be great to claim all the land that Jason Brody will years later take back. Vas's transition from youthful innocence to murderous lunacy would essentially be following the same path that Jason Brody did, but with a totally different outcome ("Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?") Start it off with Citra and Vaas's parents being killed by a pirate gang. During the raid Vaas makes his first kill protecting Citra from being taken away to be made a slave. In seeking revenge for his parents' death, Vaas anonymously joins the same pirate gang that killed his parents and climbs the ranks to get at the people that murdered his parents. As he climbs the ranks, the thirst for revenge fades away and he descends into a power fantasy that changes him into a monster.
I want a Far Cry game where you play as the evil dictator. You can build outposts wherever you like, and then fight alongside your NPC soldiers to defend them against the rebels. Add an optional human opponent to lead the rebels, and you could have player generated, large scale epic battles going on, all from a first person perspective.
I actually enjoyd a lot fo Far Cry 4, it did less for the Characters than Far Cry 3, but it was more atmospheric, presented with you with more tactical options, and it didn`t take itself too seriously. Perhaps the main difference between Ghale and Broody is that AJay seems to possess more of a moral compass and his motivations are a li`bit purar than the one`s Jason had: He is mostly driven for the love he had of his mother, bu at the same time uncovers more uncomfortable truths about her and her Father (in fact the least symphathetic character of them all in FC4 is Ishwari): By the end the end you can decide whether his love her is still strong enough to cooperate with the main baddie to fulfill her last wish or if despise for Pagan`s brutal regime warrants inmediate termination (or even soemthing in between) . FC3 is a story about how a person can change , FC34 is more of story of whether person allows to be changed.
Seems they took notes on this in Far Cry 5 and avoided the criticism of Pagan Minh disappearing for the whole game by having the villains interrupt your fun every 20 minutes for a blisteringly shit character moment. Faith, John and the other one can all try to fallate a bollard.
Over halv way through the game (dragging it out by doing as much side missions and such as possible) and I can't say anything else than this is spot on, on every point.
You know, I considered buying the game on Steam, playing through it up until the dinner scene with Pagan Min, waiting for him to come back and take me to scatter my mom's ashes for the secret ending, then writing a snarky review treating the game as if that's literally the entire thing and getting a refund because I'd be well under 2 hours. I'd still give it a thumbs up but call it a "crab rangoon simulator". I didn't end up doing it because I couldn't be fucked going to the effort when I knew nobody would appreciate the joke anyway.
As with all conflicts, the problem here was lack of communication. The guard shot the bus instead of stopping it, Pagan got mad, Ghale got scared. And afterwards, why didn't he just ask 'So, Uncle Pagan, what or where is Lakshmana? These idiots don't want to tell me.'
You can avoid the eagles if you learn the audio cue for when they are diving to attack; just run and slide and you should avoid it. By using this method I have made many eagles crash into walls and if I'm honest it just does not get old hearing them squawk and flap off in a predatory huff.
I find these zero punctuation COMEDIC reviews to be very different from all other reviews. It's good to see why a very popular game is also bad, while still being successful. I don't have this game, but i feel that it would not last long. But while it lasts, it would be fun, I imagine. This happened to me with Shadow of Mordor, getting too easy halfway through the game. Far Cry 4 apparently has the same problem. I by no means necessarily use these videos as research, but i will not buy this game for similar reasons as (the narrator) mentions. btw, great video.
I actually got into Far Cry 4 more than the third. To me personally Rook Island seemed like it had just sort of materialized from the ether like a creature of Greek Myth. Sure it had some history behind it but I could never really say "I can imagine this being a place where people would reasonably want to live before the Imperial Japanese Army and pirates showed up and fucked everything up.", it always seemed like it had always been a backwater dump that no sensible person would ever want to stay on. Meanwhile while I walked my way through Kyrat (I play these games with self imposed codes to increase immersion, one of which was "I don't steal people's cars, that would be rude") and saw the humble farm folk continuing to till their fields despite the rebellion I thought "Gee, I imagine that this was a quaint and homely place before all of the shit hit the fan. It sucks for these simple people trying to go about their days that all of this brother on brother murdering is happening." It just had a bunch of little things like random NPCs carrying grain from one village to the next or the abandoned and defiled temples dotting the land that clearly had so recently been loved before the troubles that got me immersed into Far Cry 4 despite the weaknesses of it. Far Cry 3, while I perfectly admit to having a superior story, didn't immerse me in its world as much because I never felt that killing all of the dudes in red shirts would actually improve anything. Also the two faction leaders both made solid points and I applaud the game for not just having them be "Colonel Murder Slaughter Killington III" and "Presidente Nice Mcsweety-kins puppy kisser" respectively, with both having genuine agendas that reasonable people could see the logic of.
My first thought when I saw this video was of that scene in The Big Lebowski where he was in the cab listening to some music and said "I hate the fucken Eagles man." , and proceeded to immediately get tossed out of the cab by the cab driver in an unsavory manner.
Atleast they stayed in character with Pagan's ending. He was really like "I don't know what the fuck you expect me to do now. Take Kyrat, it's yours now, I'll piss off."
Who tf would shoot Min though?
Remaining Patriot *quietly slides out of the room* I'll... uh... I'll just be goin now
@@hebrewgoldman2697 I shot Min at that end cinematic in his Palace. I didn't think the game would let me do that! I even brought the rocket launcher to blow him up in his helicopter.
I heard an eagle scream and turned around only to witness it flying off carrying a goat.
I saw one lift a fully grown boar......... Umm Ubisoft, that's not how eagles work :p
F#ck YEAGH!
I even saw one that carried mr angry whiskers away logic
Like Yahtzee says. Those fucking birds don’t give one predatory shit.
I once scouted a whole base and was ready to attack until the enemies got all aggro for some reason, I looked at the other side of the camp and a random Rhino had shown up and was like "Fuck these guys in particular" and it was so cool to watch the game sort of react to itself
Edit: I also got credit for taking the place undetected after killing one dude
If at the beginning of the game, if you don't move for fifteen minutes, Min will come back, you will scatter your mom's ashes and you just won the game
Is this true, cause if so, that would be amazing.
a
isaac garris It's absolutely true. Search "far cry 4 alternate ending". I actually prefer it to the "real" endings, because it actually makes sense. A slightly unhinged dictator captures you and takes you to his house, do you A) join a guerrilla resistance movement, strap yourself with as many guns and explosives as you can carry and go to town, or B) just sit tight and hope it all works out?
I'm looking it up now, you've got me in anticipation! I can't wait to see this!
Update: holy. Shit. it's real! Thank you for this! Almost worth the $65 (plus tax).
this game would suddenly make SO MUCH more sense if the golden path followed every mission request with 'would you kindly?'
Eagles are the primary predators of goats, ninjas, and Ajay Ghales.
the honey badgers were more intimidating than any fortress or dictator
Joey Ray and took more damage than a freaking bear.
Adam Martin BROTHER???
Fuck Yobs deadliest thing in the game I survived wave after wave in the arena guys with machine guns, body armor, flamethrowers, tigers, bears, elephants, no problem honey badger shows up I'm dead
I learned the hard way why you don’t use incendiaries on a honey badger. It won’t kill or stun lock the beastie line it did everything else, no it just means the immortal chittering demon weasel can set YOU on fire before killing you.
My number one complaint I had with this game, and this may be somewhat subjective, is that after every single main story mission, the person you didn't agree with on how to go about the mission traps you in a room for 5 minutes to scream at you about why they were right, you are an idiot, and everything is now ruined.
There's no chance to defend your actions, no input from the other character you did back up, you just have to sit there and be screamed at for taking what you decided was the most morally correct action.
I hated it. It felt like my character's agency was being totally undermined, since the game effectively decided that every single choice was the wrong one.
That's why it makes more sense just hang at the starting area until Pagan comes back.
+Aegis270 It's like an internet argument.
+Klishar122 The Pagan ending would be fine if the game would actually have the balls to let you ride this helicoper attack on the rebels and maybe end the game after the attack on the base. But i guess you cant make a game where you play for the ruthless dictator.

Yeah, it was really frustrating to listen to Sabal's bullshit arguments all the time without being able to counter them: "Our traditions are important to our identity, Ajay! You are a disappointment to your father, Ajay! Worshiping little girls and slaughtering non-believers is perfectly fine, Ajay! Traditions, Ajay! Traditions!"
hawlitakerful Actually, you could make such a game. The developer just needs to have a set of balls.
I like how Yahtzee's temporary eyepatch keeps changing eyes.
I started pretending the main character in Far Cry 4 was actually a CIA android from the future, based on the fact that we only have his word that he's actually here for the whole mum's ashes deal, the weird visual glitches my AMD video card caused that I dismissed as HIS video card glitches (to preserve my sanity), the fact that he can tag enemies, the HUD, the fact that like the previous games he only ever takes damage to his left forearm (it's clearly a patch of synthetic skin to show off in case someone accuses him of being a cyborg), and that I unlocked what was absolutely Robocop's gun from the future.
Cody Hanna That's actually pretty cool though...
IIRC, the "wait for Pagan to come back" ending is considered the canon ending, since all other endings just screw things up worse no matter what you do.
I would have sided with Pagan faster than Amita and Sabal could blink. They can keep their stupid morals to themselves. I would have just sat down, stayed where I was, and enjoyed the Crab Rangoon until Pagan got back if I had the option.
You do have that option.
Yeah. I cycled through the comments and found that out. Still though, I didn't sit for 15 minutes.
Also, that ending (the real ending for me) was awesome. Pagan is just a cool dude all around.
*****
one of the many reasons I never believed a word she spoke.
kotekzot yeah but unfortunately the game ends. Would have been awesome if instead of being an easter egg ending it would be an actual beginning and then you could go around Kyrat stomping out the remains of the Golden Path.
Neenjah Rammus I gotta ask, why are so many people interested in siding with the unidimensional children cartoon-tier villain? I mean, I like him as well, especially considering he makes the game feel "lighter" and more fun. But come on, am I over empathizing when I feel unable to side with a character that is leeching off a whole country, making everyone's lives poor and miserable for no real reason?
To be honest, the character feels completely incompetent to me. He's supposed to have conquered a country from the inside, meaning he'd need to be clever and charismatic. Instead, we see a narcissistic men who can't really do anything to stop the Mighty Foreigner Who Just Arrived from single-handedly conquering all of his territory. And that's not to mention the ABSOLUTELY unnecessary level of "evilness" he employs to... what, acquire wealth? Come on, you don't need slave labor when you have fucking taxes for everything. At first this shit sounded so unreal that I thought maybe the game was set in the middle of last century or something. He could be ungodly rich and still at least pretend to give people everything they need, so the rebels would be a lot weaker. Same goes for Yuma, who was supposed to be super smart and pragmatic but for no fucking reason just let the situation escalate to a point of no return.
God, this must have been one of the worst written games I've ever played. And I'm very easy to please.
Far Cry 4 highlights my main problem with open world game lately. Basically you're a kid sitting in a huge sandbox with way too many toys, and no idea where to start. The kicker being the toys are all different colors of the same bucket and shovel. In this case you also look to the side to see there are many other sandboxes that look exactly like yours with the names Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs plastered on the side.
You have the fast and beautiful worlds, but they are populated by things to do that amount to absolutely nothing. So you find your self just sweeping away at the map until you eventually get to 100% completion.
I completely agree with this statement
Suruga Kanbaru about the whole "so many toys, no idea where to start" thing:
Skyrim does the same thing, and look how good that game was. I don't get the problem of being lost in the world. It just sucks you in more.
Daemeon 93 Ya it certainly does. There is something special about Oblivion and Skyrim though. Not sure if I could put my finger on it exactly but it does it well. Probably because in Elder Scrolls you have the map littered with dungeons. Each dungeon may reuse textures but the layouts are all different.
Most of them usually end with a breadcrumb trail that takes you onto the next area as well. I think that's what missing from some open world games though. A sense of purpose.
"I'm going in this cave to grab this heirloom sword and kill this Bandit leader. " feels better than going to liberate bad dude camp 3/10.
You are absolutely, indisputably, 100% correct. I could literally not agree more with you.
Suruga Kanbaru I played Saints Row IV and it felt like what Yahtzee described. Doing the missions and finding clusters felt like doing it just so it's done. That's the same thing motivating me to finish short boring games or play for another 5 minutes to unlock a last silly achievement I'm missing... that can't be a good sign for gameplay.
In some way games like Saints Row IV feel like one of the old "200 games in 1" packages. You can do 200 things but none of them feel polished enough to be fun. If I have the choice between playing 200 different low-quality Mario clones or a single good game I'd pick the latter. Seriously, the amount of times Saints Row IV tried to be something else than simply Saints Row is staggering: Why am I racing around firewalls? Why am I climbing towers? Why am I suddenly playing an Endless Runner game?
And most importantly: Why doesn't this have any purpose except some number of "mission of type X completed" going up by 1?
this is one of the games where i like that antagonist more than than people who trys to kill him
by the way, when the last pagan min cutscene ended I immediately thought what would happen If I killed him? and immediately blew up the helicopter, and making the king is dead appear in pink letters.
+Uncle Jack I did the same
OH YEAH! **high fives**
True That! ☺
for once a triple A game anticipated you doing something!
They could've had you try to escape Kyrat in the beginning after meeting Pegan Min and you get stopped by Pegan Min on the way out and the rebels save you so you fight for them knowing its your only way out. That would've made more sense then, meh lets kill cause yolo.
TheKrigeron I heard the monkeys that throw there own shit are more intelligent. It was the Daily Mail, so that article was just them trying to justify what they do.
The most satisfying ending is when you wait for Pagan Min to get back when you're still at the dining table in my opinion. Short but pretty damn satisfying.
CapnTates
Yeah and at the end of the cut scene he's all like "Well did you get that out of your system?, good now let's go shoot some fucking guns" lol i laughed my ass off. I think Pagan Min was a very good villain.
I just wanted to help Pagan Min, so much more interesting then the damn Golden Path.
Tom Swift
Definitely I think an "evil" option would have made the game a true sequel. And not "just another ending" besides the "in game" CIA agent didn't care about continuity, so why should we?
My only problem with this game is the whole "protagonist's motivation" thing. Yahtzee explained it pretty well.
That and... the "choice" system was garbage. Man, if I'd have the option to join Pagan Min, now _that_ would have been interesting.
Greatkingrat88 Who WOULDN'T join Pagan Min?
IKR? The idea of making Kyrat a better place from the inside, instead of joining these fanatics...
Greatkingrat88 You misspelled "band of morally bankrupt idiots."
That works too. Pagan's regime was awful, but the golden path isn't much better. Given how much Pagan likes you, it'd be no large stretch for Ajay to become king one day.
I miss the ending credits and quips that are in the Escapist's websites ZP videos
"Additionally, 'smack on bum and close door in face' is a good way to deal with Jehovah's Witnesses"
"Oh no! Don't go to the next mission yet! One of your strongholds is under attack!"
"Oh no! What will happen if I don't help out?"
"Oh no! Fuck all!"
"Oh no! Probably leave it then."
I honestly preferred Pagan Min to Vaas the Arse.
While both are pretty damn strong villains, Pagan Min is a bit less obviously villainous.
Vaas is just a psychopath that does psychopathic things because he's a psychopath, but Pagan Min can almost be seen as a pseudo good guy in Far Cry 4 (especially considering the secret ending).
From a narrative standpoint, I think I agree, but I have to admit that Vaas is just much more entertaining when he's on screen. I adore Micheal Mando's performance. Pagan is strong too, but not quite as fun.
@@Necroskull388 i dunno theres something to be said about a complete Psychopath wanting to be your best friend because he once hooked up with your mom
The ending you get by staying at the tabel in the beginning seems a much more logical reaction that an actual human being would have
I bought my friends an elephant for their room.
They said 'Thanks.'
I said 'Don't mention it.'
**Slow Clap**
Kerosene Drinker BOO
I hope it was whiter than Lil Dicky in a mime getup just so I can imagine the sarcasm wafting through that word, "Thanks."
That took me way to long.
And the most dissapointing thing?
No Far Cry 4: Blood Dragon 2.
Oh, come on, Ubi Soft!
Ya just make the elephants triceratops
I'm kinda hoping they'll make a DLC that's an alt history that starts when you don't try to escape from Pagan Min's palace at the start of the game.
Like Yahtzee said, his parents sounded like much more interesting characters, so i'm personally hoping for a prequel/prologue type of DLC from that time.
From what I've heard there will be a sequel to Blood Dragon, whether it will have the title Far Cry 4 in it, I don't know, but Blood Dragon was successful and loved enough to warrant a sequel to it.
***** No, that's EXACTLY what I'm talking about - a game that continues WHERE THAT left off!
I love how he'll completely tear apart a game, and then in the sequel video, talk about the first game like it was flawless.
Actually if you watched his review on FC3 then you should have gotten the idea that he enjoyed it quite a bit.
He actually gave Far Cry 3 a pretty decent rating.
He said he like farcry 3 even with its flaws
You must be new here. :D
He didnt tear far cry 3 in part, he sad that some small parts was bad. You can admit some parts are bad and still love a game. When i play i always go, WTF that makes no sense, or well this part sucks and still i like most of my games
*** Spoiler Alert Ahead ***
5:26 - I think that was the whole point of the story: what was the point of all that killing? What, to liberate the country? Pagan Min was going to hand it over to you on a silver platter, seeing as how you were his stepson.
So in the end, yeah, the smart thing to do is just sit at the start and wait for Pagan to come back for you.
except spec ops the line did it waaay better
Mostafa Shahin Very true. Ubisoft has been having a lot of issues in the story department lately, I've noticed.
thickterranarmor like what?
***** far cry never made you regret joining said militia.
thickterranarmor so to proof your point you brought a review made by an asshat who is about as relevant to gaming as Michel bay is relevant to good movies?
The secret ending where you wait when Pagan Min tells you to wait is fun though. Similar to the actual ending except with zero violence. Sounds boring but funny if you do that right after playing through the entire game first.
Not sure cause it takes less than 2 hours to get that so you could get that secret ending and since it's more fulfilling than the rest just stop there and then get a Steam refund and be better off with both time and money!
Eagles in far cry 4 = cliff racers from morrowind
***** saint juib, use his title!
Finally. I've been reading reviews and I don't see many people acknowledging the inferior story and characters, in comparison to FC3. I know many people had issues with FC3's story, but it hit the basic bullet points by giving purpose to the character (survival at first, then rescue, then revenge, and among all that, becoming this tribal warrior while being guided/manipulated by Citra - depending on interpretation) . In FC4, I had to struggle to suspend my disbelief and just kept going through the motions. I actually like the ending and I appreciate the original writing that ties the beginning to the end, but that's just two cutscenes worth of content; everything in between is kinda meh. The gameplay's fine though, so it's still a fun game to play, but if someone had to pick between the two, I'd recommend FC3 instead.
I liked 3's story a lot. It was memorable, well written and well acted.
Jonathan Sotelo I forgot about that. Guess that was kinda silly. I guess suddenly going into a drug induced euphoric killing mode is like a deus ex machine.
Yeah, that was a little too convenient but I wouldn't call it a plot hole since we don't see what REALLY happens. Btw, you could also interpret those moments as supernatural in nature which would explain Jason's unlikely success. I believe the game doesn't force one particular interpretation of the story on the player.
***** Okay, okay, we get it. They made the game all meta and shit so all the hipsters who see it for what it is can tip their fedora hats at each other in acknowledgement. Who cares? Some of us like a little more context to mindless killing via a good story and we're sorry for that.
***** Point is, who says video games can't have good stories? Criticizing Far Cry 4's story as being inferior to 3's is legitimate. And trying to break the fourth wall isn't edgy, it's kind of overdone so I'm not impressed.
You know what bothers me about far cry 4?
The fact that "No animals seem to be interested in your bait" did not become a meme. It's such an obvious thing that everyone missed!
Me included :p Damn!
Animals won't take da bait m8.
To be honest I didn't get into FC 3 arc because of the way the "storytelling" was hammer down our throat with way to much enthusiasm. The sandbox on the other hand, pure joy!
"Far Cry 4". Or, more accurately, "Far Cry 3, 2"
Callum Morgan maybe if it were made by square enix
Far Cry III-2
Far Cry III-2 A Realm Reborn
Far CryIII and knuckles
Callum Morgan yea one of the things I liked about farcry3 was Brody vocalizing how fucked up everything is. FC4 you start out. I'm not a soldier, but I do like murdering the shit out of everything, I mean you start off with a knife and mission 1 is killing everybody. mission 1 in FC3 was run for your life they are shooting at me....
Far and away the best ending is the secret one which, funnily enough, accomplishes the main character's goals in less than half-an-hour while not requiring you to actually play the game.
That's why I carry around a silenced smg with a massive mag.
I would pay for shirt that said, "Which of your eyeballs would you say was least necessary?"
I'm not making fun of the escapist or anything, but I do think it's funny that this channel is now basically "zero punctuation" and "more zero punctuation". Yahtzee has two channels now. Whee.
That's because Yahtzee is king and escapist knows it. (^.^)d
*****
no because everybody else who is worthwhile left, 1st extra credit left, then Jim sterling left.
It'd suck if Movie Bob left as well.
Will Ferrous
Yeah but I can still watch jim which is great but doesn't make Yahtzee any less king lol.
Will Ferrous Where's MovieBob been, anyway?!
Jizz Fudgsickle
he got moved to a movie focused channel, "escapist movie" i think? didnt check, prolly wrong,
"What's up motherf*ckers!? The elephant in the room is that you're all dead." Brilliant.
I really preferred the multiple island set up over the continous jungle. It allowed me to basically sweep an island and just keep an eye on the water for gunboats. Now like Zahtzee said the animals are almost to numerous. And because of the set up they can spawn across the map and theoretically walk to you and attack you. Obviously this didn't happen, I hope but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised because I seriously could never find good sniping spots that i didn't get attacked by some animal regardless of how much time I spent clearing out the area of animals.
Im so glad he addressed the whole Ajay doesn't transform or develop like Jason did thing cause it pissed me off at the end when Pagen brought up the whole are you a psycho thing and I thought that line woulda been awesome in far cry 3 if they used it then, whereas Ajay just picked up a gun and was a baddass with zero military background experience and can use every vehicle in the game with no bother when he may not even have something like a flight license or practise at climbing mountains with a hook.
I’m pretty sure his mother trained him.
Honestly. My favorite part of the game is the secret ending. Where shit actually rocks.
you've actually gotten this game spot on once again.. thats why i keep coming back here. fucking eagles man
The wolves/dogs are more dangerous than the soldiers/pirates in the series. Makes you wonder how they havent been wiped out by now :P
Been waiting for this review a while now!
Best moment so far was shooting a captive elephant in the ass with an arrow and watching it freak out and fling all the bad guys about until I won the base. Good times.
In all honesty this was a game I bought as a "I'm pissed as fuck I need to shoot the hell out of things in a fun way." game.
Min, is in that club of villains we all kind of wish that we could have teamed up with rather than oppose throughout most of the game and/or movie. This exclusive club also includes: The Major from Hellsing, Loki from Avengers, Jack from Borderlands, and Hazama from Blazeblue... just to name a few.
God damnit Benny, You shoot me in the head and leave me for dead, but I survive.
I track you down and tell you I'm friendly and wanna team up and you send a hit squad after me.
I kill the hit squad, tell you that I genuinely forgive you, and you still runoff to Caesar.
I come to The Fort and Caesar offers me you on a silver platter, I refuse to kill you, kill Caesar, his guards, his entire military force outside of his tent, and everybody at the entrance instead, and tell you you're free, and even offer to help you take over, and you walk off the scene, leaving me high-and-dry.
God damnit Benny. I just wanna be friends.
Loki? nah, he's weak.
I wonder if yahtzee found the hidden ending where you don't even need to play the game. Just be a good dinner guest and you are allowed to leave peacefully. Really puts the whole struggle into perspective and makes you into a dick.
Not sure if you are aware of this Yahtzee but you can actually skip the whole game by simply sitting and waiting for Pagan to just show back up at the dinner table. Everything you do in he game is ultimately pointless.
I would pay Yahtzee to say "WHATS UP MOTHER-FUCKERS" every time he starts speaking.
The 15 minute ending is the best.
"The strongholds might as well just bend over and ask for it gently." Call me immature, but that shit is too hilarious!
If only every video game review were this blunt, to the point, cheeky, and generally British.
End Text Jokes:
"Never stops crying

Petition to rename 'honey badger' to 'wasabi mongoose'."
The secret ending was pretty clever though. That got me pretty good.
Min is awesome, all you have to do is follow one easy request and you save yourself (in game) weeks of near death shenanigans. I think I would have preferred it if by doing that you actually got to join Min's forces though.
I liked Fc4 playing right now actually I just wish the,main bad guy was more present and I wish they make it a little more intresting to struggle like fc2 with rhe plot style of fc3 that would be epic
Thank you for expressing every emotion that I've felt play this game!
I really don't think being similar to the previous game is a bad thing, since Far Cry 3 was awesome. Far Cry 4 is its predecessor with a few new things added, which is just fine by me, since I know I'll be having a blast just like I did in Far Cry 3. And right now, I definitely am!
But I do agree that the story is inferior to the last, to the point where it actually bothers me a little. I don't feel motivated to fight with the Golden Path against Pagan. Rather, I'm just going along with it.
But what really bugs me is how much of a fucking doormat Ajay is. He just goes along with what people say, doing what people tell him to do. This really shows when I'm forced to choose between Amita or Sabal for the next mission, because if I choose one, I get scolded by the other for not siding with them. I decided to side with Amita for the first mission, but after being scolded by Sabal, I actually felt bad because I let people die, and I can understand why he's so emotional over it. But for the next mission, I chose to side with Sabal and burn down the drug fields rather than take them, which is what Amita wanted me to do. And when she scolded me for that, I didn't buy any of it. I felt that she was mad at me ONLY because I didn't side with her. Again, I could understand Sabal being angry with me for letting people die, but when Amita started giving me lip, I just wanted to step in and be like, "Look bitch, I'm sorry I took away your opportunity to get high, but there's no reason to be THIS upset over it. Get over yourself!" But no, Ajay just remains mostly silent and takes her verbal beatings.
With all of that said, it's still an awesome game. I'm having just as much fun as I did with Far Cry 3, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Finally, thank you. It was so annoying to just hear her whine about drugs, like that's all that mattered. Who wouldn't choose to save lives(Other than Ajay)?
"In the end, kinda pointless." You cheeky fuck, I actually laughed out loud.
By far your best review yet
0:50 The four-player tag team of me, Colonel Tusky, Stripy McBigteeth and Florence, the fully upgraded sniper rifle.
3:58
HAHAHAHAHA!!! THAT'S why I love this minimalist approach to presentation that Yahtzee uses. Had me rolling!
The special light machine gun you get after unlocking all the tower things is the most op thing I have ever seen
You are trapped there, like in far cry 3. You are rescued by the people you help, and without eliminating the enemies, you won't be able to get out. You also want to find out more about your mother and father, and much of the plot is unraveling their past. I found that many of the side characters were well done and clearly defined, and the Shangri la missions were as interesting as they were beautiful.
The bit about the elephant was comedy platinum. XD
2:10 you can actually do this in game. If in the very starting mission in the villains house, he will ask you to wait for a minute while he does something. You would usually take this opportunity to run away but if you actually wait there in game, like he asked you, he will spread your ashes and you will go home and the game will end. This means you can finish the game in about 10 minutes
Wasn't gonna play this, but you mentioned the smacks in the bum - totally hyped now.
I can say with full confidence that in all my time on TH-cam, no video subtitle has resonated with more than the _F**k Eagles_ subtitle for this video. #TheFeels
Let's go back to Vaas. He was underexplored and clearly has a backstory worth revisiting. There could be an entire Far Cry where you play as a young Vaas, climbing the ranks of his pirate gang and making the transition into a ruthless lunatic. It'd be great to claim all the land that Jason Brody will years later take back. Vas's transition from youthful innocence to murderous lunacy would essentially be following the same path that Jason Brody did, but with a totally different outcome ("Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?")
Start it off with Citra and Vaas's parents being killed by a pirate gang. During the raid Vaas makes his first kill protecting Citra from being taken away to be made a slave. In seeking revenge for his parents' death, Vaas anonymously joins the same pirate gang that killed his parents and climbs the ranks to get at the people that murdered his parents. As he climbs the ranks, the thirst for revenge fades away and he descends into a power fantasy that changes him into a monster.
Ajay is not inexperienced nor is he American. He was born in Kyrat and was in the US Army.
I just found this guy tonight, I have watched a few vidoes, and I have never laughed so much at 3 in the morning as I have tonight.
I want a Far Cry game where you play as the evil dictator. You can build outposts wherever you like, and then fight alongside your NPC soldiers to defend them against the rebels. Add an optional human opponent to lead the rebels, and you could have player generated, large scale epic battles going on, all from a first person perspective.
+Jarret Xu that'd be a clusterfuck
"The elephant in the room is that you're all fucking dead!" 😂🤣
I actually enjoyd a lot fo Far Cry 4, it did less for the Characters than Far Cry 3, but it was more atmospheric, presented with you with more tactical options, and it didn`t take itself too seriously. Perhaps the main difference between Ghale and Broody is that AJay seems to possess more of a moral compass and his motivations are a li`bit purar than the one`s Jason had: He is mostly driven for the love he had of his mother, bu at the same time uncovers more uncomfortable truths about her and her Father (in fact the least symphathetic character of them all in FC4 is Ishwari): By the end the end you can decide whether his love her is still strong enough to cooperate with the main baddie to fulfill her last wish or if despise for Pagan`s brutal regime warrants inmediate termination (or even soemthing in between) .
FC3 is a story about how a person can change , FC34 is more of story of whether person allows to be changed.
Ajay doesn't have to spread his mothers ashes, he's supposed spread his fathers.
Watching this at .75 speed is fucking fantastic. It sounds like he's drunk but completely sober at the same time and things end up even funnier 🤣
the 4 player tag team is definitely all you need
Seems they took notes on this in Far Cry 5 and avoided the criticism of Pagan Minh disappearing for the whole game by having the villains interrupt your fun every 20 minutes for a blisteringly shit character moment.
Faith, John and the other one can all try to fallate a bollard.
Never played it myself, but I gotta give the game major props for at least 1 thing:
That secret ending though.
Over halv way through the game (dragging it out by doing as much side missions and such as possible) and I can't say anything else than this is spot on, on every point.
Lightning struck twice like somebody held both ends of a d-cell battery
You know, I considered buying the game on Steam, playing through it up until the dinner scene with Pagan Min, waiting for him to come back and take me to scatter my mom's ashes for the secret ending, then writing a snarky review treating the game as if that's literally the entire thing and getting a refund because I'd be well under 2 hours. I'd still give it a thumbs up but call it a "crab rangoon simulator". I didn't end up doing it because I couldn't be fucked going to the effort when I knew nobody would appreciate the joke anyway.
I like the ending that makes the game super short much better.
As with all conflicts, the problem here was lack of communication. The guard shot the bus instead of stopping it, Pagan got mad, Ghale got scared.
And afterwards, why didn't he just ask 'So, Uncle Pagan, what or where is Lakshmana? These idiots don't want to tell me.'
I watch these videos to deflate my hype balloons about new games haha.
1:25-1:30 I have never realised how true this is.
You can avoid the eagles if you learn the audio cue for when they are diving to attack; just run and slide and you should avoid it. By using this method I have made many eagles crash into walls and if I'm honest it just does not get old hearing them squawk and flap off in a predatory huff.
I've never seen review like the one before. Its kind a great and artistic. Good job mate. I just subscribed.
The way the main character is described makes him sound like exactly the kind of person Hotline Miami was speaking out against.
I love that game but he dose make some good points, especially about the silent sniper thing
2-3 was a nice jump from visuals and gameplay. completely agree this is more of like an expansion for far cry 3..
Friendship is Magic
It's a good thing I'm not the only one who likes Jason Brody as a protagonist.
Why did i see harambe and weapons in the same picture? Foreshadowing?
I find these zero punctuation COMEDIC reviews to be very different from all other reviews. It's good to see why a very popular game is also bad, while still being successful. I don't have this game, but i feel that it would not last long. But while it lasts, it would be fun, I imagine. This happened to me with Shadow of Mordor, getting too easy halfway through the game. Far Cry 4 apparently has the same problem. I by no means necessarily use these videos as research, but i will not buy this game for similar reasons as (the narrator) mentions.
btw, great video.
I actually got into Far Cry 4 more than the third. To me personally Rook Island seemed like it had just sort of materialized from the ether like a creature of Greek Myth. Sure it had some history behind it but I could never really say "I can imagine this being a place where people would reasonably want to live before the Imperial Japanese Army and pirates showed up and fucked everything up.", it always seemed like it had always been a backwater dump that no sensible person would ever want to stay on. Meanwhile while I walked my way through Kyrat (I play these games with self imposed codes to increase immersion, one of which was "I don't steal people's cars, that would be rude") and saw the humble farm folk continuing to till their fields despite the rebellion I thought "Gee, I imagine that this was a quaint and homely place before all of the shit hit the fan. It sucks for these simple people trying to go about their days that all of this brother on brother murdering is happening." It just had a bunch of little things like random NPCs carrying grain from one village to the next or the abandoned and defiled temples dotting the land that clearly had so recently been loved before the troubles that got me immersed into Far Cry 4 despite the weaknesses of it. Far Cry 3, while I perfectly admit to having a superior story, didn't immerse me in its world as much because I never felt that killing all of the dudes in red shirts would actually improve anything. Also the two faction leaders both made solid points and I applaud the game for not just having them be "Colonel Murder Slaughter Killington III" and "Presidente Nice Mcsweety-kins puppy kisser" respectively, with both having genuine agendas that reasonable people could see the logic of.
They added that should I stay or should I go song at the beginning and end so it was all alright to me
I feel like the title of this video could be the title of the next Blood Dragon game. Far Cry 4: Fuck Eagles.
Best review of far cry 4 ever, you totaly read my mind.
"My leg disappearing into a wolf" xD
This is the only game Iv beaten on max difficulty in less then 30 mins.
I'm in stitches... "With enough drugs to occupy Amy Whinehouse for a Sunday afternoon"... LOL"
My first thought when I saw this video was of that scene in The Big Lebowski where he was in the cab listening to some music and said "I hate the fucken Eagles man." , and proceeded to immediately get tossed out of the cab by the cab driver in an unsavory manner.
There are theories that Ajay is a crime lord from america, which explains him being heartless.
