    As a fat gay dad, I really enjoyed this game. The weapons are varied and the stealth is well realised. You can run over wildlife in this game. No penises or obese women.

    This game is a masterpiece. I'm not a big fan of shooters, but this one... well, after long day at work I sit to this game and I just have FUN. A lot of great fun. This is a briliant mix of relaxing shooting and funny exploring. Always something to do. Many nice weapons, very good graphic, nice story. Many options which absorb You totally. This game is a MUST HAVE for everyone who like a good fun.

    Shooters besides open-world games should be taken somewhat 50 hours usually from me to involve over an experience. Far Cry 3 doesn't seem so much like 'fictional'-- [Impressive] Far Cry 3 nails to 'reality', 'Fun' rather than 'fiction' which is most likely joy and valid to anyone.

    because the game has a good plot and a beautiful graphics similar to Crysis 3.
    I have rated this game on 9 because I saw some bugs for example: when I was
    bitten by shark, protagonist began to pull the bullet out of the hand. Another
    reason why you must play this game, it is the antagonist Vaas Montenegro
    (leader of the pirates). He is cruel and unpredictable also he is always
    swearing. Despite small disadvantages the game is interesting and very colorful.    … Expand

Some people claim that halfway through the game, it loses its pacing, but for me personally, I think that all the characters are strong enough to keep on carrying the story forward in an engaging fashion, and even if they don't, then the gameplay always feels novel as you experiment with the wide range of guns, takedown techniques, and playstyles to become the ultimate hunter.… Expand

I fell over and went unconscious for a few minutes the first time I climbed the radio tower in the starters zone. Also, the game has a pretty good story. It's a bit cliché, yes,but all the characters are likable,or hateable depending.

    With all that nonsense outta the way,let's get into gameplay. It's amazing. It's vastly improved over the previous iterations,but that's not really the thing here. Jason can wield any number of rifles,snottys, RPGs,or even a bow if you so desire, and each one is unique and satisfying. Shooting and stabbing your way through enemies is great,top. But that's not the draw. The draw here is freedom. With the exeption of a few missions,you take on missions however you desire. Grab an RPG,C4, and a LMG, and play Rambo. Go through the bushes with a silent sniper. Grab a bow. Play how you want.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jason Brody was never meant to be a killer, from the moment player’s step into his shoes Jason is scared and horror stricken as he watches his brother murder to try and liberate them from the pirates. Soon afterwards his brother is murdered by Vaas, the pirate leader who’s kidnapped his friends and family, alone and frightened Jason is taken in by the villagers who call this island home after narrowly escaping from the pirates.
    The tone of Far Cry 3 is set now, the game is dark and bleak, making players reconsider their own morals on violence. Jason doesn’t start off right away as wanting revenge, he simply wants to save his younger brother Riley and his friends. The power he feels every time he takes down an enemy is intoxicating, he enjoys it. An insecure young man now finds himself with a purpose, even telling another shell shocked friend that killing feels “like winning”.
    The game immerses you instantly, with splendid voice acting, Vaas gets inside the player’s head, questioning the insanity and futileness of never being able to kill the player. Through hallucinations and cut scenes the players discover the chill inducing similarities between Jason and Vaas. Causing the question to arise of whether or not the choices Jason makes can be considered morally right. The game brings forth the question, how far are you willing to go for those you care for? And what kind of person will you be after making those decisions?
    This lead to the moral dilemma of whether to go mass killing sprees to take over pirate bases, this is not necessary to further the plotline but is incredibly helpful to the player. Providing experience the more people that Jason kills the better he becomes earning experiences that can be used to buy upgrades to better handle weapons and fight. The bases also provide places for the player to sell goods and buy more supplies to further them along, taking over more bases also allows for new weapons to be unlocked that are incredibly powerful.
    Loss of control is the central theme moving the story along, from seeing the unhinged Vaas snapping at Jason and falling over the edge into insanity. Jason’s friends are shown to be unhinged or having completely lost it after days of torture. Jason is no exception from this, the man who once whimpered at the idea of someone being killed has now come to enjoy the slaughter, and it feels like winning after all.
    Not only for Jason but for the player as well, as Jason is developed and his transition from average civilian to ruthless killer, the player transitions with him. As the player progresses they can find ways they are most comfortable with in order to gain the most experience as well as having the game become easier as they upgrade. Being able to shoot open pens to have locked up tigers and bears attack pirates for you and allow you to take over the bases quicker can be a thrilling experience. The opportunity to cause raw chaos is invigorating, and why not throw in a Molotov while the base is in a panic? Nothing quite as fear inducing as a flaming bear coming right for your face. Feels like winning indeed.
    Far Cry 3 is a first person shooter that treats its characters and player for what they are, people with consciousness and their own moral standing. Should mass shooter games really be this enjoyable? Should the amount of violence and chaos seen be so naturally addictive to create? Maybe not, but it is.    … Expand

    Every now and then, I get an urge to play a good single player FPS. Far Cry has tended to be one of the more challenging, pretty, story-rich, and eccentric single player experiences I've encountered in an FPS. Far Cry 3 did not disappoint in this regard.

Far Cry has tended to be one of the more challenging, pretty, story-rich, and eccentric single player experiences I've encountered in an FPS. Far Cry 3 did not disappoint in this regard.

    After Ubisoft took over development from Crytek after the first Far Cry, the series has taken a decidedly Assassin's Creed (AC hereinafter) feel in terms of how information is presented to the player, as well as how the world is revealed to the player. This means a classic AC map interface wherein all of the "stuff" you can do in the game is hidden until you scale tall radio towers (AC: climb tall buildings), fix the radio (AC: look around to see where everything is), and use a zip-line to alight safely back to the ground (AC: jump off tower into bale of hay). At this point, all activities you can partake in are available to you on the map. Once you head out to actually DO activities, the classic Far Cry feel returns. Reasonably challenging enemies that are much more challenging when you run in and try to gun everyone to death (this very well may result in death, in fact it's likely). If you did that in Far Cry (1) you were likely toast.

    The environment is a beautiful lush jungle atmosphere with small-to-large villages scattered throughout. There's no way you'll be able to see where everyone you must take out is without doing a little bit of scouting first. THEN, after you've scouted everyone, then maybe you can run and gun successfully, mainly thank in part to the mark that remains on the top of the head of scouted enemies. One other thing to mention, enemies won't let you just sit in cover. They will flank you. They will be aggressive. Running around and using different cover and flanking them yourself is recommended! Oh, and uh, if you've never played a Far Cry before, enjoy the wildlife! They make things very interesting! Especially when they show up while you are trying to take over an encampment/village. And eat you.

    Now, I said story-rich...don't take that to mean Pulitzer Prize winning writing. I just meant that this isn't your now-typical 5 hour Call of Duty campaign where you know nothing about the protagonist and those that surround him other than their battle skills. The story is pretty over-the-top, but that's part of the fun. Far Cry never takes itself too seriously and makes the player feel like a badass without making them feel too invincible. The music direction by Brian Tyler is pretty much spot on with some gems thrown in there...think very different types of music put in basically what are the perfect spots. They all fit so well and only added to my personal experience. I especially loved post-rock tracks.

    With all the Steam sales Far Cry 3 has seen, I'm willing to bet many of you have already picked it up, and maybe even played it. But for those of you who have not purchased it, it is a solid buy for $30 and an absolute steal at anything $20 and under. If you already own it and it's sitting in your library uninstalled, then I recommend installing it and taking it for a spin. Personally, the experience was very fun and worth the time I spent playing (approx 30-40 hours, closer to 40 and I didn't do every last thing in the game).    … Expand

    Far Cry 3 is the ultimate power fantasy, and I mean this as a compliment. Yeah, lots of games let you take back strongholds with bazookas and flamethrowers, but few offer an experience as smooth as Far Cry's. Combat is the perfect balance between stealth and firefighting, letting you sneak behind bushes or aim explosives at everything in sight. The hunting side quests are also a ton of fun.

    2) Fall damage is retarded. I'm not even joking when I say it's possible to lose 1/3 of your health by falling 5 feet. Fortunately, health syringes are easy to make, so it's just annoying. It doesn't really break the game or make it too hard.
    3) The button to loot enemies and the button to switch guns should not be the same button. I end up dropping my weapon and picking up some crap weapon because I was staring at the guy's left leg instead of his right leg when holding the E key.

But something I disappointed about the game that the Stealth Mechanics is not important, because you can go combat at anytime and you are hard to die. It is possible to kill an entire army of pirates with a knife in combat state.… Expand

    Tiene una gran jugabilidad, es más aunque el manejo de los coches sea bastante malo, te diviertes conduciéndolos, después respecto al modo historia, he de decir que se desarrolla muy bien su trama ya que te va consiguiendo enganchar poco a poco y cuando menos te lo espera se acaba con un grandioso final, porque ese tiroteo con esa pedazo de música te motiva mucho, eso si también tiene puntos negativos y para mi el más grande es cada batalla cuerpo a cuerpo las cuales aun siendo muy importantes solo consisten en una serie de quick time events, pero a pesar de este fallo la historia sigue siendo muy divertida.
    Cuando te pones a capturar el primer campamento te sientes libre ya que puedes entrar por cualquier lado al campamento y con todas las posibilidades que tienes de capturarlo, desde ir sigiloso o ir con toda tu artillería disparando a cualquier cosa que se mueva, eso si me parece muy bien que se premie más al sigilo que a la locura.
    También puedes capturar una serie de torres las cuales al destruir un aparato que estará situado arriba del todo te completará un trozo de mapa, estas torres aunque no muy difícil de llegar a la cima, según vas avanzando en la historia te das cuenta de que cada vez tienes que pensar más que tienes que hacer para subir un piso más y eso es una cosa que creo que le falta a cualquier campaña de un shooter, a lo que yo denomino "momento puzle".
    También he probado los otros dos modos de juego, el modo cooperativo, el cual me parece que está bastante bien y más al jugar con amigos; pero creo que el modo multijugador sobra ya que es una copia de todos los shooters actuales mal hecha.
    En conclusión he de decir que Far Cry 3 es un juegazo el cual recomiendo a cualquiera (excepto si lo único que quieres jugar es el modo multijugador).    … Expand

    This game blew me away! I didn't expect to love it so much! Great characters, great story, great variety, and I can still go back to replay this, it's so fun! Vaas is one the greatest villains in any video game I've ever played! And the story is really emotional and deep, and Jason's whole trans-formative arc is epic. Only loses a point due to a rubbish co-op campaign, otherwise, perfect 10.

    GOOD: Very entertaining game, fun to play, nice graphics, nice quality overall, like the tower/camp structure, variate approach to objectives (be creative).
    BAD: Too easy, sometime map feels empty in some areas, animals are a little to hard to kill xD, boss fights not very inspired.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game absolutely cool, everyone knew this. But is everything whether so good? Let me tell about bad side game.
    I think developers who made this product, as told in Russia, - Beginning for health, ended for dying. Scenarios was good, if not one but. In the end, i felling something tired writers and developers, it is start near history of Sam. I seem that they don't have force ending game and they just fast release game, kinda tried take that, although that not able to take. In general, i don't like scene killed Hoy and Vaas. Take knife and kill them, when in first case, you stayed in house Hoy, where a lot of his security and in second case, Vaas stiks in your hurt knife and... you don't die. Why?
    These moments come me to though, that whole history in game it is just dream main hero Jason's. How still we can explain this situations? Remember, how Citra give sleep Jason's, when just blowing dust in his face, then when he wake up, he already keep knife directly at throat her girlfriend. It is be a few drug.
    Okey, we understood this. But that there with end history? All end very chaotically. I chose save my friend, and after Citra dead. CITRA dead! And what happened with our team? Nothing us let go home. Weird.
    Talking about skills, i have last level still before end game, far from end game. But okey, i do all tasks and collect many different trash, which give me exp. Knew, i real give satisfaction from this, before i had last level. Then me lose interest collect these things, and do more, then need.

    Now, i flow compliments. I love this game, really love. I complete this game for three days, opened all maps, performed all side quest and take all outposts. More satisfaction, i don't long ago. This place, this island were made genius people, it very beautiful and biggest. Gameplay marvelous. Graphic super. Scenarios good. Characters interested. In general, really cool game.
    But, sorta, you ask me, why marks 8. And i answered you, - because game wasn't exciting and fascinated from beginning to end. In the end i a little bored and i don;t have desire continue this game after passed. I like this world, but live there i don't want. How was in borderlands 2 (I understand that is bad compare, but anyway). Sorta, this game don't set this purpose, okey, then it deserve this marks.

    Thanks for reading. Good luck.    … Expand

    1 – GENERAL

    Far Cry 3 is an open world FPS created by Ubisoft. It shares lots of the traditional Ubisoft game mechanics like climbing a tower to reveal part of the map, or having the chance to explore to know more about the story of the Island. Speaking about story, the plot of the game is not the best I've seen, at best is solid, but we forgive all its faults when we see that    1 – GENERAL

    Far Cry 3 is an open world FPS created by Ubisoft. It shares lots of the traditional Ubisoft game mechanics like climbing a tower to reveal part of the map, or having the chance to explore to know more about the story of the Island.

    Speaking about story, the plot of the game is not the best I've seen, at best is solid, but we forgive all its faults when we see that characters are well built and one of the villains is probably one of the all time greatest in videogames. Resumed, you are on vacations on an Island with your friends and you are caught by pirates. If you want to know more, just play the game.

    Graphics still old even from today's standards, but I've experienced a lot of framedrops after a nVidia update, later partially solved, but I still suffer from unexpected framedrops when driving vehicles. The world is not as beautiful as in Ghost Recon Wildlands, but is still very enjoyable to watch.

    Sound effects are well set together, but the NPCs have just a little amount of voicelines, so we spend most game listening to the same ones. The music is atmospheric, and it always sets a good mood for gunfights, despite that it changes when every NPC is dead, so we know when we can stop paying attention.

    2 – GAMEPLAY

    Most of the game fights are satisfying, guns are properly balanced and they all feel different and fun to play. We have to loot corpses and boxes to gather money to buy and upgrade weapons, but after a while they all become free at shops, so all money is only important until a certain part of the game, after that it just become useless.

    Most times you can approach a mission from more than one angle, and that's rewarding. Sometimes a mission has a small difficulty spike, nothing to worry about, but you end up going by trial and error, and eventually you end up doing the mission with just brute force.

    There's tons to explore in the islands, and also a lot to search and find. Interestingly enough the map is not packed full of repetitive missions that we have to do in order to develop our skills. I've mostly just done the main story and some sidequests, and I still progressed at a good pace. It took me about 20h to finish the story, I think that a completionist can take another 30h from the game, or even more, so the balance between story and repetitive sidequests seems to me spot on. Way better than actual games. Now is not common to say this, but thumbs up Ubisoft!

    3 – CONCLUSION

    I have three major problems with this game:

    Its peak is not the ending, but the killing of the firs villain;

    The best moments of the game are QTE, and that ruins the fun;

    Both endings are not very inspired.

    There's still some funny bugs, but none of those ruins the experience, they are just fun.

    Multiplayer is still active, even more than lawbreakers, but is not very interesting.

    So, do I recommend the game? OFC, it's a great game, that worth's the current full price, but is so easy to find it in a sale, that I recommend you to wait a bit of one of those.    … Expand

    As my first try into the Far Cry series, I found the open world elements extremely inviting and finding it very easy to become lost in the game itself as an adventurer. I'm not much a fan of the story, but found myself immersed within the environment. The game is truly unique and is worth a try to anyone thinking about it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Una aventura que nos hace sentir precisamente lo que pretende, sentir el miedo contra unos piratas e ir evolucionando a medida que pasa el tiempo y adquirimos habilidades.
    Con un villano muy característico haciendo uso de la locura y los trastornos psicológicos al mas puro estilo del Joker.
    Un mundo abierto muy nutrido de animales a los que cazar y con un gran número de enemigos a abatir que desafortunadamente disminuyen en el mapa a medida que capturamos campamentos, capturas cuyas recompensas en xp aumentan si aplicamos un factor sigilo a la operación, lo que evita que el juego sea un caos total, a menos que uno lo desee y entre a "saco" con un lanzallamas y un puñado de granadas.
    Como en la mayoría de juegos las misiones secundarías de caza, ayuda a miembros de la IA o misiones de busca y captura no son lo mas divertido del juego aunque en la mayoría de las veces no son solo excusas para alargar el tiempo jugable, si no que nos ayudarán a conseguir objetos exclusivos de esas misiones para mejorar nuestro equipo, aunque si nuestro propósito es divertirnos, el juego está repleto de lugares donde podemos ganar dinero en pequeños minijuegos tales como timbas de poker, lanzamiento de cuchillos o practicar la puntería con aves.
    Las posibilidades que ofrece a la hora de realizar cualquier tipo de acción son prácticamente infinitas, desde despistar enemigos con piedras a liberar a animales salvajes para que nos hagan el "trabajo sucio" pasando por una amplia gama de armas que están diseñadas para cada una de las situaciones pero que a la hora de matar piratas podemos usar de todas las formas polivalentes que se nos ocurran.
    La historia se desarrolla de una forma excepcional haciéndonos sentir perdidos o confusos cuando entramos a un templo ancestral o de repente conocemos a un viejo loco adicto a consumir sustancias alucinógenas. Nos hace sentir esa frustración de que Vaas (el villano) va siempre un paso por delante de nosotros y eso nos hace estar deseosos de llegar al siguiente nivel para ver en esa ocasión podemos cogerle desprevenido . Este juego tiene dos finales, los cuales desde mi punto de vista se podrían haber mejorado o incluso dar por terminada la historia en un punto anterior, aunque entiendo la decisión de poner esos dos finales ya que nuestro personaje sufre tal evolución, que pasa de ser un loco adolescente a un auténtico asesino de piratas.
    El multijugador no es un call of duty, pero tampoco creo que pretenda serlo, ya que utiliza habilidades y tiene un poco mas de importancia el juego táctico y calmado, en definitiva es una parte del juego que nos hace disfrutar y jugar con nuevas armas y accesorios cuando ya hemos exprimido el modo de un solo jugador.
    El modo cooperativo online es el que veo mas verde, lo veo bien para jugar con amigos pero no para jugar con gente desconocida ya que es muy importante el trabajo en equipo, las armas de tus compañero y el rol que coge cada uno en la misión, ademas a esto se le suma un pequeño número de misiones coop.
    Los aspectos mas resaltables del juego par mí son la inmersión en el personaje, la libertad que te ofrece el mapa y una linea de dificultad mas o menos ascendente ya que siempre tienes que estar atento a tu vida y las medicinas pero sobre todo el toque de locura que tiene este juego y que tanto nos gusta, el cual alcanza su punto álgido cuando tenemos que destrozar una plantación de marihuana y solo disponemos de un lanzallamas y un poco de música de Skrillex para quemar el recinto y llevarnos una buena fumada como recompensa.
    Los puntos negativos no tienen una gran relevancia en el juego pero aun así no está mal decir que el mapa de habilidades realmente no aporta al rol que vamos desempeñar ya que las podemos adquirir todas. La otra pega que tiene el juego es que a veces la inteligencia artificial puede resultar un poco mecánica, pero es entendible teniendo en cuenta el año de salida.

    Para mí un INDISPENSABLE en tu estantería si tienes una ps3/xbox 360/pc y el mejor de su saga.    … Expand

I picked this up in a buy one get two free GameStop deal back a few years ago for PS3 and fell in love with the gameplay. I am reviewing the PC version because not too long back I replayed this on Steam and it was just as good if not better than my first go around.

    This is an example of a story-based, first person, open world, shooter done to near perfection. The graphics look great even by today's standards. The atmosphere is brilliant. You feel like you are a part of the island. I was so interested that I want to learn more about the culture and the conflict that was taking place. Speaking of conflict. I like to keep my reviews spoiler free but I am just going to say the main antagonist Vaas is probably going to go down as my favorite video game villains of all time. Very generous selection of weapons and vehicles. Almost all the weapons have upgrades and different attachments to collect. I really fell in love with the base capturing system where you gain outposts by taking out all the enemies in the nearby area. Not only do you have to worry about enemy patrols and but you also can be randomly attacked by an assortment of indigenous animals. I found all the hunting and captain killing side missions to be very satisfying. I also really liked finding the relics placed around the games very multilayered map and dead soldiers journal entries as they helped you get a better understanding of the history of the island.

    There are a few small things that did keep this from being a 10 in my opinion. Don't get me wrong the story is fine and as I said I loved Vaas but I was a little underwhelmed with the conclusion and was also a bit confused about the tone it was trying to present. I also think the voice acting could have been a little better and more believable but by no means was it terrible. Also, the AI was good but at times would make odd choices in the way they would attack and react to your presence. Especially when you took out an alarm. Lacked consistent logic.

    Overall I have to give this game a 9/10 Excellent. My criticisms are minor as they did not stop me from enjoying what was presented. There are very few games that I genuinely wanted to play a second time and 100% both times on two different platforms.    … Expand

    You aren't restricted by cheesy mechanics like only being able to use specific weapons and the like. What you loot or kill is what you can use.

    (Sure, the game favours the player by adding in some conveniences to make it easier to play, but if it was too realistic, it would probably turn frustrating and boring since you'd have to resort too much on stealth. And considering the scale of the game, that would be too much work for little reward.)

    I think I have found myself a favourite shooter franchise.    … Expand

    Nice game with great island. Good story, even if at the end appears too long. Atmosphere is great. Not bad.

    It's the best ubisoft game ever if you ask me.
    it's open world, action, creative, kinda fantasy, survival, pretty much it has everything to deserve 10 out of 10

    This game is the best of the Far Cry franchise. Gameplay, skill tree via tatoo, and the Vaas... all of it made it the most memorable game i played in 2013

    One of my FAVORITE game. Great combat and shooting physics. Graphics are good too. The most badass villain of all time, VASS, did a great job in making the game addictive.

    Definitivamente melhor jogo da franquia, roda em computadores mais fracos, bem otimizado, gráficos lindos mesmo no low, jogabilidade e mecânicas ótimas, mapa gigante, diversas variedades de missões e ótima história.
    Provavelmente um dos melhores jogos que eu já joguei.

    One of the genre definer of action open world games.
    This game has been a foundation for open world games made by ubisoft and other developers.
    Gameplay is really good.
    Story and characters are really good.

    Far Cry 3 is one of the best open world games out there, the story is pretty good and its fun to progress through the game and story. There are a ton of things to do in the open world, but the multiplayer isn't great at all. I played the multiplayer with a couple of friends and it becomes tiring after a while. Overall Far Cry 3 is easily the best game in the series.

    Лучшая часть серии (ИМХО), много раз перепроходил, никогда не надоедает.
    Разумеется найдутся люди, которые будут негативно относится ко всем высоки оценкам этой игре, но мне всё равно, они меня не переубедят.

    The game's madness is probably its most appealing part. There's a lot of crazy in it, but it's not absurd, and the story is understandable and enjoyable.

    Although I liked the fourth part in my own way, and subjectively for me, the third and fourth are in one place according to the interest, atmosphere and study of the open world of the game. But objectively I agree that the third part is the best in the series, since it's story is the strongest and interesting from all the parts of the game.

    Far Cry 3 is a great game. This is pumping, hunting, survival and more. Interesting dialogues and characters. You feel the pain of archery or stabbing. The only thing that is bad in this game is the outposts, which are all the same, they are all the same, I, on the difficult level of the game, passed all the outposts with only 1 gun. In general, the game is a masterpiece!

    Welcome to the Jungle.

    Far Cry 3 created a standard for modern open world action games that is still hard to match.
    This games strong points are its exceptional graphics for its time, great storytelling with memorable characters, open world activities like radio towers, outposts and fun minigames. Highly recommended experience for everyone who has not experienced this gem yet.

    Far Cry 3 is a classic shooter at its core, but there are various RPG mechanics, skills and upgrades under the hood. It’s a fabulous playing ground and one can but marvel at the wondrous ways the various elements interact with each other. [January 2013]

    Tighter and more accessible than Far Cry 2, the third outing is a master class in open world shooting. [Feb 2013, p.59]
