    На самом деле, игра нормальная, но в ней много недостатков, например графика душная, и ещё графика намного хуже чем в Counter strike: source, я знаю что там мультяшная графика, но зато очень хорошая графика, но почему они хуже сделали в 2012 году чем игра 2012 года? В 4k разрешении игра выглядит как в 1920x1080, а игра выглядит в 1920x1080 как на разрешении 1280x768, игра очень скучная, надо ездить, а если уничтожалась машина, то беги пешком, а если где-то на гор задание, то тебе надо бегать по горам, мыльным горам, с которых ты будешь падать и падать, и фиг ещё найдёшь где задание, потому-что вот я искал одно задание, потом туда залез но она оказалось в пещере, и надо ещё спускаться, почему бы не написали где же задание находиться, хотя игра уникальная, и есть сетевая игра как в far cry 2, только там дают очки, за которые ты в сюжете прокачаешь навок.
    Вывод: Совсем уж и не такая плохая игра, сойдёт, но лучше играть с утра сюжет чем с вечера, потому что ото ты игру пройдешь за 5-6 вечера, это игра уникальная потому что есть всякие навыки, и она прикольная, но есть недостатки, но в игре хорошая русская озвучка, так что 7.5/10    … Expand

    Probably the best Far Cry game in the whole franchise. Love the story, atmosphere, gameplay. For those who need old games for nostalgia, this is one of the best.

    Far cry 3 was released almost 10 years ago now. But with the modern far cry games being so mediocre, how has this one aged.

But with the modern far cry games being so mediocre, how has this one aged.

    Story: The best in the series (at least the best one I've played). Vaas is one of if not the best villain in video game history, however, he dies halfway through the game. The main character at first seems kinda generic but as you play through the game, he gets more insane. The story halfway through kinda gets boring. Overall, Vaas carries Far Cry 3's story and after he dies, the story just kinda gets boring but the first half of the story is so good that I can't rate it any lower than a: 7.8/10

    Gameplay: What you would expect from a semi-modern Far Cry game. The first half is great. Vaas's pirates are really fun to kill and the jungle provides a lot of cover and the jungle is also just really fun to explore. The second half of the game, however, is just average. The jungle is replaced with a vast, open, and kinda boring landscape and the hilarious pirates are replaced with regular old military troops. Overall, its better than the modern far cry games in terms of gameplay but the second half is too disappointing to give it any more than a: 6.5/10

    Graphics: When compared to today's graphics, they still somewhat hold up but also look a bit dated. The environments still look pretty good and give the illusion of a real island that people would live on but the lighting can be weird at times, the models that aren't main characters look straight up bad and NPC animations look kinda **** Overall the graphics look meh for today's standard but I'll be nice because this game came out 9 years ago. 4/10 (when compared to today's graphics) and 8.1/10 (when compared to 2012 graphics)

    Sounds: Horribly bit compressed and low res. Sounds like a game from the 5th generation of consoles. However, music-wise, it's not bad. 2/10

    Overall, Far Cry 3 is my favourite in the series but that's not saying much since there are only 3 good Far Cry games. Far Cry itself mostly relies on gameplay, story and somewhat on graphics so the final score is 7/10.    … Expand

    Far Cry 3 is one of the best games of 2012. I have to recommend Far Cry 3.
    The story is amazing - from the scratch you feel attached to the main character.
    But....if you like great graphics and sound: take FC 5.

    It is like FC4 but with fewer things (takedowns animations, weapons, vehicles, worse graphics, etc).

    Even FC4's story I think is better (I know that is an extremely unpopular opinion). For me Vaz is the most overhyped villain in the videogame industry, he is just a crazy person that isn't even the final boss and appears just a few times in the game, I think it is only 3 times.

    Ubisoftun bokunu çıkarmadan önceki ilk örneği.Eğlenceli oyun outpost ele geçirmek sarıyo aslında oyunun ana mekanikleri mantığı da gayet iyi.Diğer şeylere gelecek olacaksak yan görevler çok kalitesiz,radyo kulesi açma gibi saçma zorunlu olmayan zorunlu etkinlikler de var.Hikayesi de fena değil klişe ama idare ediyor.

    The far edge could never go through to the end (too long and boring). After 10 years, I decided to go through it to the end and what can I say: the first part of the game still brings you up to date, it tells you "I'm exploring the world", but I don't want to do this at all, why?

After 10 years, I decided to go through it to the end and what can I say: the first part of the game still brings you up to date, it tells you "I'm exploring the world", but I don't want to do this at all, why? Because "the world is inanimate!" I thought for a long time that it was "Action with RPG elements", but no - in all stores and Wikipedia the game is listed as just "Action", so I became more loyal to it.

    "game world" / "game mechanics" - the game has been called "cult" by many experts for one of the reasons "open world", but what to do in this open world? Civilian NPCs are extremely rare, civilians in villages are 3-4 people and mostly silent, it is impossible to understand their "TRAGEDY", and just to understand what they are thinking in order to absorb the local world! It can only be seen that the island is with lazy anarchy, where Vasa people are trying to rule, and an aboriginal tribe opposes us against it (there is of course a 3rd party - "mercenaries", but despite their ent (they are also traffickers), they are only on their own separate island), but this war is extremely strange, weak aborigines hold a single village and a local archipelago, and Vasa people come across you at every step, you will kill them -kill-kill, because of this the world seems even more artificial. It seems even more artificial when you, traveling by car, meet an enemy patrol or a car on the opposite path, after you destroy them, another enemy car will pass "purely by accident" in a minute and you will need to destroy them - it all gets boring quickly, you begin to understand that the world is illogical even in the usual game understanding (where on a poor little island there are so many cars, so many people, who are many times more than the local population? Yes, they may be mercenaries, but why are they in such numbers? Rave! Even if it's not nonsense, they can't destroy the remnants of the resistance - doubly nonsense!). Because of all this, I couldn't feel myself in virtual reality, and it didn't work out to explore and enjoy the scenery because of all this. At the same time, the main problem of the game is that the enemies run in bright (red), which looks even more strange and it does not work to immerse themselves in the game!
    "PLOT" - The first part of the plot is normal, the second is boring, but the ending is even philosophical in its own way, not flared.
    But I played through the force, almost fell asleep, but the end even made me think about the general idea of the game, to understand the philosophy of action, but it is here without hidden meanings, but quite pleasant. It is impossible to call this game a "benchmark". How many new far cry did not come out, having the same gameplay, problems - they will not be able to jump to the 3rd part, because far cry 3 was more philosophical than it seems at first glance, but everything is not so rosy at the same time.

    After the passage, the sediment remains inside, which ending you would not choose, but attention is drawn to our choice and I want to understand the meaning of all the savagery of this island, the tragedy of people, but it will not work because: neither communicate with NPCs, nor talk to factions - it is impossible. Alas, the game is average lousy, but also pleasantly surprised me at the end.    … Expand
