However, Far Cry 3 is at least an FPS open world game (not a Third Person Shooter) and it has an awesome villain, trippy plot and some gameplay features that elevates it above the monolithic scrap heap of forgettable AAA titles out there to something that's actually worth playing.

I loved how the game makes you work for the tools you need for a proper loadout & stealth approach. On the downside, I hated the forced hunting parts of the game, even thou they favor exploration they made me pass a lot of time doing things I dont like to get the tools I needed like weapon holsters. Its a great game and an amazing experience that shooter & engaging story telling fans cant miss :) Expand

    For me, however, it goes on for a bit too long. There are some missions that feel like they're just in to fill the gaps. The open-world isn't at all the main focus of the game, even though it was done well. It even has some RPG elements that give it a unique flavor.

    It is definitely a staple in the industry and a classic to say the least, but it fails to go on my top of all time list due to it inevitably feeling a bit bland as you progress through the game. It is excellent at what it does, but outside of a wide array of mechanics, it doesn't do all that much.

    After the disappointment I had with Far Cry 2, I decided to bet on Far Cry 3. I can say that there was a significant improvement in the story, but whoever has played the whole series, knows that the history of the games in the series, is not the strong point of the franchise. The boss of Far Cry 3, in my opinion, is the best of all!

    You are tasked to hunt an animal. You are required to use a bow. It takes you 2 seconds to fire a charged shot with minimal damage, and equal time to heal yourself for minimal health. The target needs one second to swipe you twice which could kill you instantly. Great balance as always ubisoft.

How can someone become a pirate killing warrior without any training nor experience? This character would be better done with some past military practices or survival experience. The gunplay compared to the recent installments was not as smooth but for a 2012 game is really impressive. Just Cause 4 failed to achieve what Far Cry 3 did. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. “Masterpiece”. The first word that comes to my mind when I want to describe the game is “masterpiece”. I am going to be honest with you – at first it can feel like another first-person shooter, without a doubt a great one, but not special one. That was the feeling I had until the last 15 hours of the game (it took me 46 hours to complete the game – not only the main storyline but all the sidequests too (well, almost all)). The game simply gets better by every hour you play. Throughout the walkthrough I was sure I am going to rate the title 9/10 top. In Far Cry 3 I didn’t see the scale and deepness games need in order to be rated 10 out of 10. Something was missing. I didn’t even liked that much the idea of gathering and crafting at first until I literally spent about 7 hours just hunting and crafting myself a bigger syringe kit, wallet, rucksack, whatever. What once was missing was found in the second part of the game - at some point a thought “it is a masterpiece” struck me and haven’t let me go since then.
    For some reason I always considered myself to be a fan of FarCry franchise though the only game I had ever played was FarCry 1 which obviously has barely anything to do with the other games of the series. I remember how unforgivable the original FarCry game was and what amount of stress it was causing me about 10 years ago but nonetheless I loved it. I am not gonna lie – FarCry 3 is a much easier game but nonetheless it didn’t fail to take me back to the good old times when I had to restart the same mission time and time again trying different tactics and implementing different strategies – every Outpost was like a chess game for me where I have to deal with whatever figures that are present on the desk.
    The storyline definitely is the main reason FarCry 3 belongs to one of the best games ever made. In a weird way the changes that happen to Jason Broody’s mentality and persona happen to you as well. Every character you meet is interesting and alive. Though Vaas is the only one who got to mainstream and basically transcended the game, he is not the only one who is worth your attention.
    I have to say a couple of words about the technical side of FarCry 3 – it is gorgeous. Even without great storyline, let it be a simple open world game it still would shine. The island doesn’t look realistic – it looks better than reality itself. It goes beyond realism and brings us a place which very easily can be mistaken with a paradise. Sound design is often a forgotten aspect when players try to describe a game so let’s not repeat this mistake. It is the first game when I was in awe in regards to how detailed the sound is. I will give you one example which really impressed me: as you get out of water you hear water dripping from your wet clothes. And such attention to details is present in everything.
    I could go on and on for a long time about what makes this game great but I think it is time to point out its downsides. For me the game has only one major downside which I would change if I had a chance to (attention: SPOILERS!): the way Jason Broody kills Vaas and Hoys simply doesn’t feel satisfying and “real” (especially Vaas’s killing). It is hard to explain but you expect more from a fight with your main foe. At least they could make it harder.

Character development system is rarther simple, but nice enough - I do not expect more from the shooter. Side activities are repeteable and over time become more and more boring. Especially the inventory development system is annoying.
    Far Cry 3 create a new scheme, which was repeted in other games of the series. Personally I found Far Cry 4 more succeed, but being honest we must notice, that most of ideas and mechanics were used yet in 2012.

I used to consider this one of my favorites for a long time, but as I've played through it again, and again, and again, I have come to notice the serious flaws it carries. Starting from storytelling, it's laughable. They've created a somewhat iconic hollywood style story, which at the times was popular, but it misses the mark with plotholes, and failure to deliver anything the player would care about. Coming to the end of it, it's only positive parts had been some of the entertaining missions, and the world you experienced while at it. I never became too fond of the cast, neither could feel anything if something happened to them. It's incredibly frustrating, considering there are also so many good things to Far Cry 3. Visually, it's stunning, even for today's standards. It's something I couldn't get tired of, exploring the islands and finding secrets, more and more pirates and eventually ways to progress the story. Gameplay was something that made me feel, rather mixed about. There's lot of detail missing, and same goes to the overall game quality, over the previous installment, but for the ways of killing and moving yourself around, it's gone too simple, repetitive and easily exploitable. There is no real difficulty here. I'm personally not particularly good at videogames, but this one just feels, odd. You aren't punished enough, ever, neither challenged. I have to hand it to them, it's addicting at times, due to the smooth flow of the gameplay, which I did end up finding a positive together with the diverse arsenal, but it's not the mature thing that it should have been. Other points, such as audio and amount of content, and the state of the port, only reinforce my feelings towards this one not being the masterpiece people let it out to be. They aren't bad, but just not good enough for me not to consider this game average. I strongly believe it's that, and wouldn't recommend playing it. There are better alternatives out there, even on this franchise. Expand

Ohhh, the guns are so fun to use. The driving is a little wonky, some of the npc voicelines sound like they were recorded through a wall of cotton candy, and there's a weird sensation of white saviour to the narrative - but that last one is probably intentional.

    Stealth, stabbing, tigers, incredible amounts of violence and psychoactive drugs, and even the occasional **** - Far Cry 3 has got it all, AND a ranting spaniard with a mohawk.

    After the simplified and boring Far Cry 2, I said to myself, I will never try another Ubisoft made Far Cry game again. But then, Far Cry 3 was released and got such exceptionally high scores across the board, that I just had to try it out and see what's really going on.

    After the simplified and boring Far Cry 2, I said to myself, I will never try another Ubisoft made Far Cry game again. But then, Far Cry 3 was released and got such exceptionally high scores across the board, that I just had to try it out and see what's really going on.

    Far Cry 3 looks similar to Far Cry 2. There are some improvements, but the reality is, it doesn't look exceptionally good for a 2012 game. Once again, everything in the distance is out of focus due to some strange reason and there's some sort of haze in the air at all times. Ubisoft Montreal did learn something from their mistakes though, AI is a little bit better this time around, dead enemies do not resurrect constantly anymore, and they finally added a story to the game, which isn't even all that bad to be honest. They also added some innovative elements that weren't in the previous game, like hunting, crafting and upgrading abilities. Guns are OK and you are actually free to roam the map, or at least half of the map at a time.

    However, under the surface, we are looking at a barely improved Far Cry 2. Ubisoft Montreal managed to blow it yet again with shallow execution. Hunting is little more than a short minigame, since all you do here is kill a couple of each animal and you are able to craft all the items there are to craft. The money system is just as broken as it's incredibly easy to accumulate large amounts of cash, and there's nothing worthwhile available to buy with it, except for weapons. But wait, you get those for free anyway, with the help of another useless minigame, called switching on the radio towers. I found myself doing only three things the entire time, liberating outposts, switching on the radio towers and doing the main story missions, which are mostly too long and, with a few exceptions, not very well designed.

    Now that I've seen it, I have no idea why this game got anything but mediocre scores. I can see someone potentially enjoying Far Cry 3 as a mindless sandbox playground, but then again, there are better options for that on the market, such as the Just Cause trilogy or Grand Theft Auto games.

    I recommend the game with all my heart, who loves this game for a very long time.

    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.

Одной из первых я выбрал именно Far Cry 3. Я очень много хорошего слышал о ней, но поиграть и пройти никак не было времени и желания. По началу вообще не заходило, играл по часу в день заставляя себя силой,не мог понять механики прокачки и тд. пока не решил разобраться во всем этом и игра заиграла совсем другими красками, по итогу мне хватило менее двух дней, чтобы пройти ее полностью. Из плюсов это сюжет за исключением того, что Вас постоянно ловит тебя и никак не может убить, в какой-то момент это конечно доходит до абсурда, из любой веревки, ловушки наш герой по итогу выбирается. Очень понравилась сама боевка, обилие транспорта на дорогах, неплохой арсенал оружия и его модификаций. Открытый мир выглядит тоже очень круто, он живой, с врагами, дикими животными, змеями, пещерами и тд. Я продолжил играть даже после того, как прошел основной сюжет, чтобы освободить все посты и пройти дополнительные миссии. Как вы поняли завис я в игре часов на 100 так точно. За Саундтрек отдельный респект, это просто рай для ушей. Теперь из минусов, не смотря на крутую проработку часто встречаться косяки, то машина застрянет в текстурах, то еще что-то. Очень напрягало то,что постоянно приходилось лезть на вышки для того, чтобы открыть часть карты, при этом подъем разработчик старался сделать максимально сложным, сама идея хорошая, но можно было бы и сократить их количество. Что касается постов противника, то это отличная идея, единственное, что, как только в мои руки попала снайперская винтовка любой пост стал для меня максимально простым, почему враги узнал о том, что где-то из далека их потихоньку убивают не могут включить сирену, пока не обнаружат тебя? Это так и осталось для меня загадкой. Да и искусственный интеллект тоже не самый лучший, порой чувствуешь себя Рэмбо. Но в целом игра 2012 года, которая оставила столько эмоций и воспоминаний, особенно миссия с поджогом наркотиков, просто потрясающе. Но если бы не баги и провалы с текстурами, которые опускают тебя на землю и напоминают о том, что это компьютерная игра поставил бы крепкую 9, а так только 8 Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You are Jason Brody, a guy who likes to party and sniff drugs, but they travel into a island where Jason slowly turns insane, and the reprensentation of that is also shown perfectly.

    The gameplay is fine, You can do these badass undetected outpost liberation with your glider takedowns then rushing in and killing the rest, that's badass. They added this cover mechanic which I just discovered like half-way into the game, but using it now like half of the firefights I'm in. I wish that they added more mechanics into the game.

    The enemy AI is just independent, comparing it to FC2's AI, and in FC2 you notice that soldiers care for each other, and during in a firefight they get them out of the area and start healing them. While in FC3 the AI would just leave their dying buddies alone. I understand that killing Jason would recieve them riches but won't they just have enough sympathy to just help their dying buddies? No?

    The world design is really boring, The enviornment looks cool yes. But is it really needed to have half of your equipment that you really need that could've just been in the Skill Tree needs to be crafted? Hunting is also boring because you'll just end up sitting there waiting for animals that appear in your screen. The animal hunting areas are poorly set properly in areas of the map, It makes the place looks really claustrophobic when hunting for a goat or a Tiger. The only place where I could relax at is killing Bull Sharks at the ocean.

    The stealth mechanic in this game had been focused than the rest of the mechanics (except for story of course.) Also the drag takedown skill is a joke, because I could just kill someone in real life and drag them without having to learn this in school, Jason knows how to run, pick up, and setup traps so how the hell does he not know how to drag enemies? It really doesn't make sense. Anyway for the stealth mechanic, It had been done perfectly, where distractions are sometimes important when trying to move past them, or trying to seperate them from the guy you are targetting.

    I gave this game a 7 because on how boring it is, There's no birds chirping and I have to download a enchanced audio from Nexus Mods just to get it to not be boring. For FC2 there's this music that you hear throughout the game, and on FC3 is just really quiet. Instead of Ubisoft making the gameplay even more perfect, They decided to make it a boring grind. The game is unrewarding, and the only thing it's good at is story, visuals, and mechanics.

With great gameplay running on a smooth and nice engine, Far Cry 2 was great. The sequel to Far Cry 2 was a very interesting take on the series that stayed around for a while. Far Cry 3 is a first person open world exploration game that puts you in the shoes of a college boy by the name of Jason Brody, where him and his other friends take a trip to Rook Islands for a vacation. Little do they know is that their is a group of terrorists called the Rakyat. Jason and his brother (And everyone else) are captured and are planned to be executed, but Jason escapes. Unfortunately, Jason's brother is shot and killed in the process. Then, it's your job to find all of your friends and escape from Rook Island. So, lets get down to business.

    The game is great overall, taking place in a tropical environment rather than Africa. The game runs on the Dunia engine and has a more of a bright and almost cartoony look. The gun selection is completely different from the previous installments; unlocking guns by switching beacon towers on rather than doing a mission. The guns are more modern and can now have attachments, varying between guns. The prominence of gun skins makes your arsenal better too. The map is much larger, and has more things to do in your spare time when you're not playing the main story. Hunting, exploring, Base Conquering, Beacon Towers, Treasure Hunting, Crafting, Harvesting, Upgrading, etc. The game has plenty to do, and there is always something new to do. The new upgrading mechanic is great. You earn upgrade points when leveling up, causing you to get tatoos on your body. The crafting mechanic is very cool too. This allows you to use your salvaged parts from animals you've skinned and the plants you've harvested to help you get better capacity, more guns, and healing and buffing syringes. The map is very large, allowing you to explore pretty much all of it from the beginning. Attacking and taking over beacon towers allows you to see more of the map in your start menu, allowing you to raid bases, see caves and treasure, and see where animals roam. Raiding bases allows you to do side missions and hunting missions, which rewards money and rare supplies. There are a few bad things about this game though. First off, the gun selection is solid, but it lacks in quantity, there is not much to choose from. There is also the game constantly reminding you to play the story, with notifications in the corner of the screen every 10 minutes. The Rakyat soldiers are everywhere, causing you to get shot or completely stopped in some cases, forcing you to kill them, which isn't bad, but when it happens more often than it needs to be, it gets annoying. Overall, the game is a solid 8 in my book. The game is great to try if you have the time. The game is very cheap, and you can get it in a pack, consisting of Far Cry 2, Far Cry 3, and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, all for $19.99 USD. So if you have the chance, definitely buy the game, it's a very great game that can keep you hooked for months.

    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.

    The story and gameplay is incredibly realistic, and the game doesn't pull any punches in trying to keep it realistic. Firing isn't your everyday point-and-click; recoil is realistic and enemies don't take 20 shots to kill. You aren't restricted by cheesy mechanics like only being able to use

    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.

But 3 hit a sweet spot and alot of people love far cry 3 and its easy to see why . even far cry is trying to be far cry again and although every far cry game has done well in sales and critical praise none quite as high as 3.

    Story: the story is interesting its about adrian brody , stranded on an island "paradise" on a trip with a group of his friends and brothers when they get captured by a group of pirates for ransom. you escape with your brother only to have him get shot at the end of the escape. but the interesting part of the story is the duality of it. there is 2 sides or brody , the side that wants to go home safe and sound and the side that wants to live a warriors life and is getting use to the violence witch ends in a choice the player has to make and when i first played fc3 it took me by surprise. i cant get away without talking about vaas a great example of a great performance elevating not only a character but a game. from the stories iv heard vaas wasn't even gonna be in the game until they seen Micheal mandos audition and the devs were hooked. but this added to the duality of the game vaas being a foil to brody making mandos character elevate the game.
    Story 9/10

    World building: a little bit of a disappointment but world building is important all of the far cry games have been stand alone and far cry 3 is not much difference despite having a character carry over to the next few games almost all the world building is done by the environment and not by the lore and i guess to me i prefer lore over cool locations but good world building needs both not just 1.
    world building: 6/10

    Graphics: although this game is just now starting to show its age it still looks great the bright colours contrasts well will the violence. a lot of of the world building is done through its environment and with such a beautiful environment it makes taking in the world easier. the vacation esque style also adds to the duality of the game even the games ui keeps the duality in mind. far cry 3 looks better than some games that come out these days.
    graphics 9/10

    Game play: all of my gripes with far cry 2 have been ironed out in far cry 3 , i do have some gripes about fc3 but they feel nit picky (except for climbing towers to unlock the map that's just tedious ubisoft stop that) shooting feels excellent on every gun witch makes it exciting to unlock new guns
    the skills and perks are really fun , and alot of the change yup the game play a lot. witch made it extra fun to unlock perks , progressing in this game was FUN this game is fun i donno what else to say to do it justice.
    Gameplay 9.5/10

    Sound design: some great and mediocre voice acting performances. and some cool use of licensed music but not much of the rest of the sound track is memorable. guns sound punchy but a lot of them sound a little too similar but different enough i guess everything else in the game was given such a level of detail but the music and sounds fell a little flat for me.
    Sound design: 6.5/10

    9+6+9+9.5+6.5= 40
    40/5=8/10

    Far cry 3 i a great game and an important game for shooters. far cry 3 set a standard much like call of duty 4 before it and now each series is trying its best to recapture its former glory.

    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.

    Interressanter Shooter mit einer spannenden Story, der leider an manchen Stellen etwas repetetiv wird.

    I was gonna score this game 8/10, but I can't forgive its save system, because I just *hate* check points! Well, sometimes check points can be tolerable, but this game isn't that case.

    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]
