    Просто редизайн фар края 3 но хуже.
    Сюжет мне не понравился он скучнее и тупее чем в 3 части.
    Кооператив лучше, НО в основную сюжетку нельзя пройти в двоем. А потанцеал был вытащить игру хорошим кооперативом, с прораброткой Гейла и Хёрка. Голос гг Аджайла Гейла в русской локализации в диалогах и катсценах почти не слышно, как будто его специально занизили. В общем ознакомиться можно    Просто редизайн фар края 3 но хуже.

    I admire the art design and the atmosphere, but the game design in this game is just pure ass.

Oh, you wanna be stealthy and take your opponents from above? Well you can't, because we only made SOME of the buildings climbable, so you never know which one of them you can use to your advantage. Oh, you wanna take your time and plan ahead? Well, eff what you want - we're adding a stupid timer on this mission that makes absolutely no sense. I was collecting supplies for the rebels, two packages in total, and nobody rushed me, I could take a whole week to collect them if I wanted to. However, once you get a final package all of a sudden a timer appears, and you only have like two minutes to deliver the goods. Like, seriously, WTF? On the surface, game wants to look like a completely open-ended experience, yet in reality it acts like the most linear shooter possible.

    Super frustrated. I really wanted to like this game, 'cause I like the scenery, the graphics, the voiceover, but the gameplay is so freakin' jarring. Far Cry 4 is the equivalent of a friend handling you a big candy in a pretty wrapper and running off with a smirk, only for you to find out there's a rock inside instead of a candy.    … Expand

    this towers stuff is so fking bad. When you trying again and again like fifteen times to jump on blue ropes place and falling down you get this feel that game is so fkin bad that you just cant finish it. And its not only towers stuff its in every second this game. There so many little bugs that makes u mad i cant count.

    WTF. What a hot mess. This is just as bad as FC 2. I thought they would never make that mistake again, but they did. FC 3 was much better, it had a story and structure. Half the time in this game you don't know what you should do next. When you get some of the missions there is no info on what you should do next. What a waste. Last Far Cry or Ubisoft game for me.

    Far Cry 4 is a lengthy open world game that is filled with unnecessary side quests at every turn and enough little things to collect that make you want to only play the game in small parts. What really drove home the Negative review would be that Far Cry 4 remains to much of the previous games and does not deliver enough new content or new game mechanisms to stand out.

    Far Cry 3 came out in 2012, Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon came out in April of 2013. Followed by Far Cry 4 in November of 2014. Far Cry 4 is basically a copy paste Far Cry 3 in a different part of the world with a uninteresting main character and the usual "crazy" evil villain. The only difference between the games is the increase in the dangers of the wildlife.
    The game is bloated with sup-par content in side missions that you can easily justify not doing. You can obtain all the levels and currency needed by just doing the meat of the game and collecting items. Play Far Cry 3, Skip Far Cry 4.    … Expand

    PC port is pretty garbage (a Ubisoft trademark). Constant stuttering and hitching on the lowest setting - even on a high speed SSD coupled with a (more than) capable GPU.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dieses Spiel ist in meinen Augen nichts anderes als Far Cry 3.5 !
    Die selbe Engine, nahezu identische Grafik, dasselbe Gameplay ... aber eine triste und langweilige Welt ohne wirklich überzeugende Ortschaften, sowie eine unlogische Story die an keinem Punkt zu überzeugen weiß !
    Eigentlich freute ich mich auf den Titel, denn vorherigen spielte ich sehr lang und sehr gern.
    Doch da dieser Teil nichts eigenes und besonderes hatte, sondern sich lediglich wie ein schlechtes Addon zum Vollpreis spielte war es schnell für mich aus.
    Der fairness halber gab ich diesem Spiel bis zum bitteren Ende die Chance mich zu überzeugen, nicht nur das es schon eine halbe Qual war es durchzuspielen, nein, das Ende ist so extrem entäuschend das es sich schon garnicht erst gelohnt hat.
    Far Cry 4 ist ein solider Titel, wie es schon Far Cry 3 war, gute Grafik und gutes Gameplay sind zu erwarten.
    Doch bei so einem Spiel ist die Story das wichtigste um mich im Bann zuhalten.
    Das hat man hier definitiv nicht geschafft, leider hat mich Teil 4 genauso entäuscht wie Teil 2, jetzt kann man nur positiv auf Teil 5 der Serie blicken und hoffen das es wieder besser wird. =)
    Wem die Story nicht groß interessiert, der kann auch gerne zu FC4 greifen, vorrausgesetzt ihm hat FC3 auch schon gefallen, ansonsten würde ich empfehlen mit Teil 3 der Reihe anzufangen.

    I can't play a hour over. This game is constantly shut-down.

    I think there is a problem with the awareness range of the enemy. I can't see enemy, but I hit a shot. This is more terrible than a boring story, and animal encounter.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've never played such a buggy mess before... Screen goes black when you start the game, crtl + tab twice fixes it, the same happens when you go from the options to the main menu. When I turn on Fullscreen, leave options (of course it goes black), its back to windowed mode...
    The aiming with mouse is horrible, playing wth a 360 cntroller works, but it hasn't enough buttons for all actions.
    Sometimes you take damage, when you fall down 1 Meter...

    And now to the worst...
    The game sometimes doesn't notice you progressing!
    Right at the beginning, at the first bell tower you get the grapple. I took the grapple, but the game somehow didn't notice this, the grapple was gone and i couldnt use it, because the game didn#t notice that i took it...
    OK... start again... Took the grapple again, worked, climbed up the tower and destroyed the radio thing, nothing happened, current quest is to destroy this thing... game didnt notice, that i destroyed it...
    Ok... start again... 2 times, the third time the game noticed, that i destroyed the thing!
    Good quest complete. I saved the game and closed it.
    After a few hours I started FC4 again. In game I was standing in front of the Grapple, bell tower mission still active!!! Didn't save my progress... I now have given up trying to play this buggy mess...

    And btw you are forced to download Uplay and have an account to play FC4. Steam and Uplay must be running in the background for FC4 to "work"...

    Far Cry 4 takes the best bits of Far Cry 3, puts a new spin on them and drops its troubling racial politics and constrained mission design. The story and characters a bit more lightweight, but the core remains the same. Overall, this is a leaner, meaner Ubi-style open world experience and the best iteration on the franchise.

    With Far Cry 4 you get what you loved in Far Cry 3 - improved and with some innovations. Playability is great, but it will force you to think of the state of the game industry and everlasting urge of producers to cannibalize their own titles. [Issue#248]
