Dec 5, 2013This game was absolutely amazing there was a beautiful environment large crafting system wide selection of weaponry there were only a few bad things such as occasionally bad A.I the game got a bit TOO easy but that didn't spoil my love of this flawless game. I highly recommend this game!
-
Sep 12, 2015Great Graphics, Tons of action and side missions but most importantly, a beautiful open world you can explore freely. I have hundreds of hours in this game and can honestly say that its a winner.

Feb 20, 2014As 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.

May 28, 2014Graphics: 10 Sound: 9.0 Gameplay: 9.0 Fun/Story: 9.2
Much better than far cry 2. It´s quality is like the first one and and these are good news. Graphics are amazing. -
Sep 16, 2014An amazing game, really fun to play, and with outstanding graphics. The controls are really enjoyable, and the history has some flaws, but Vaas character is simply one of the best villains of all game history.
-
Nov 16, 2018A great game. Perfect graphics, great gameplay, exciting battles, good ai, decent story, lots of content, lots of weapon and crafting, huge map.
If I make a little criticism: characters might have been a bit deeper, and a mature atmosphere would be better with a little bir less bullet-hell style. -
Jun 2, 2022Far Cry 3 is an excellent videogame and a necessary evolution of the franchise.

Aug 12, 2014I was expecting a lot from this game and that is what i got. Good graphics, not heavy for the PC, nice controls, nice story, all.
Single player mode is great (maybe too easy?), feels like you are in a movie. Story is really involved.
Co-op mode is a great addition as well.
I really recommend it. -

Sep 10, 2015Okay this game is amazing probably in my top 10 this year. The visuals are great the game play great even the characters are great.This a game i would have even bought on release.
-
Oct 16, 2014For me it's one of my favourite games. It was awesome. Do you still remember all of these hereos in this game? Yes I do. Great soundrack anyway. Huge map, You can play it your own way. You play it how long you want. Great graphic. I really glad that I could try this game.
-
Oct 23, 2014This game really set the bar high for any possible successors. Took the best things from Far Cry 2 and improved on it. Ubisoft really listened to their fan base. Played this game 3 times and I'm still going.
-
Nov 28, 2014Despite not being a large first person action guy, i found this game very enjoyable and well worth the minimal amount i paid. Plenty to do and great mission variation. Thoroughly recommended and looking forward to playing number 4 :)

Mar 14, 2016This 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.
-
Apr 12, 2016GOOD: 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. -

Jun 2, 2017Far Cry 3 is a great game. The story is very good because you are just an average Joe on vacation. The game then turns you into a crazed killer. The villain was very well portrayed. The outposts were fun to destroy. The great game play and a great story make this game a must play.
-
Nov 23, 2020great story telling, solid driving and moving mechanics, the tattoo system is fun. Personally this is the best far cry game that i ever played
-
Jun 30, 2016Beautiful scenery, interesting and unique characters, exciting and non-repetitive plot, good range of weapons, endless amount of things to do besides the main story, fun gameplay such as killing the animals and performing take downs on enemies... idk man i could go on forever this game is great :P

Sep 3, 2017I had really fun playing Far Cry 3, just 1 Point less because some side-activities, often side missions or collecting relicts, feel so senseless and timewasting, otherwise hunting, exploring and crafting is really fun.
-
Apr 7, 2018Um dos melhores vilões que eu já vi em um jogo. Far cry às vezes é repetitivo, mas isso não incomoda tanto quando a única coisa que você quer é atirar e explodir.

Oct 29, 2018Far 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.
-
Jan 20, 2019Far 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!
-
May 17, 2019Welcome 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. -
Nov 30, 2022İşte abi oyun dediğin böyle olmalı. Tuttu diye 55 tanesini yaptılar ama cidden 55 tanesi de bunun yarısı kadar iyi olmadı. Bunu tekrar açıp oynarım ama 5. oyunu tekrar hayatta açmam.

Nov 10, 2019Замечательная игра для средних пк и ноутбуков или устройств 2011+.Сюжет относительно хорош,так как мы знаем что сюжет этой серии не блещет.Но сам геймплей,графика и др.просто на высоте)))

Dec 8, 2019The basic Far Cry concept, but with the right quantity of insanity.
Vaas is one of the best villains of all time - CHANGE MY MIND. -

Feb 8, 2021I love this game so much it's such a big game with so much action and is by far the best far cry game in its six games. Vaas is a great villain with his sad backstory it's kinda hard not to feel bad for him. There is so much to do on the island and the characters are even better. You should definitely pick this game up if you're into the far cry games.
-
Feb 22, 2021Passed several times, a pleasant ending, but you need to remove the parents. DON'T REPEAT MY MISTAKES! ) Nice graphics, good plot, interesting to capture outposts, nice live open world, what could be better?
-
Mar 18, 2023my favorite far cry game to date. Its just something about this vibe at the island. Story was great and Vaas was even better. One of my favorite villains of all time. Sidequests are interesting and just overall gameplay is good for its time. Kinda reminds me a little bit of LOST

Jun 11, 2022Melhor Far Cry que joguei, sem dúvidas. Vaz é um vilão perfeito. O jogo tem uma dinâmica ótima e muito marcante. Sistema de upgrade é justo e muito bom. O mundo aberto também é sensacional. O jogo te obriga a caçar para poder upar habilidades quase que fundamentais para progedir e isso é muito bom.
