    Far Cry 4 - продолжение одного из главных хитов 2012 года. В третьей части нам предоставили отработанную механику, открытый мир и разнообразные активности. Одной из важнейших составляющих Far Cry 3 являлся сюжет. Давайте узнаем, смогли ли Ubisoft повторить успех своего главного хита?

    Завязка сюжета по своей структуре аналогична третьей и последующим частям серии. Главный герой Аджай Гейл попадает на вражескую территорию, наполненную не только блокпостами и деревеньками, а ещё и опасным животным миром и различными биомами. В течение игры протагонисту предстоит узнать историю, связанную с ним кровными узами, а также выбрать судьбу родной страны - Кирата.

    Но не всё так просто в сюжете. Некая изюминка и недоговорённость сохранились. И в конце концов вы задумаетесь, кто ваш друг, а кто враг. Это достигается тем, что характеры персонажей, в том числе и харизматичного главного злодея Пейгана Мина, не лежат на ладони, а требуют глубокого анализа.

    Игровой процесс же не изменился с предыдущей части, но оброс массой и некоторыми нововведениями. К примеру, на горы и уступы теперь можно подниматься при помощи крюка-кошки. Арсенал вооружения стал намного богаче и интереснее.

    Открытый мир изменился. Стало больше вершин и непроходимых мест. Благо для такого рода препятствий разработчики припасли вертолёт. Побочные задания стали интереснее. Теперь за некоторыми стоят новые персонажи, сами цели изменились. Каскадёрские гонки, битвы на арене, ловля экзотических животных - всё это ждёт вас в Кирате.

    Сюжетная кампания также хороша. Есть разнообразные миссии, можно делать выборы на чью сторону встать, что в итоге приведёт к изменению некоторых целей. Дополнение "Побег из Дургеша" позволяет вам проверить навыки боя, а в "Долине Йети" выживут лишь самые отмороженные.

    После прохождения основной кампании, как было сказано выше, можно прибегнуть к официальным DLC. Кроме этого, доступны сетевые режимы и пользовательские карты, на которых можно провести много часов интересного геймплея.

    Четвёртая часть серии "Far Cry" не смогла стать такой же шедевральной, как третья, в основном из-за более приземлённого сюжета, которому не хватает глубины и загадочности. В остальном же это отличный боевик, который закономерно развил механики, заложенные в Far Cry 3.    … Expand

    Overall, Far Cry 4 is a good game. But i am quite frustrated with the fact that this easily could have been a solid 10/10.

    Let's start with the good: The story is not bad, the characters are great (especially Pagan, Sabal, and Amita), and the strongest part of the game is without a doubt the setting.

    Kyrat is such a fun place to explore! Kyrat is based on Nepal and brings it's own culture, religion, mountains and landscapes.

    It doesn't just sound good paper, it actually works extremely well in the game.
    You get to experience it yourself through all the side content this game has to bring (which is enormous).

    you can find and destroy masks of a demon carved by cultists, "Mani Wheels" to spin, Propaganda posters to take down, and all of this side content really makes Kyrat feel alive with it's own special culture and traditions. And combine that with the beautiful graphics, the great atmosphere and fitting (if forgettable) music, all of that together makes Kyrat one of the best settings i ever got to experience in a video game.

    The gameplay is good for the most part, it easily could have been better in my opinion, and this brings me to the only reason this game in not a 10/10.

    This game is a technical mess. It has a decent amount of bugs. Rhinos can literally hit you again right after they make you fall on your ass (which was DEFINITELY not supposed to happen, trust me. It's not a feature, it's a bug), when you hide an enemy's corpse in a corner it is almost guranteed to get stuck in a wall and hover like he got nailed to the wall with a hammer, and some side missions were annoyed with the fact that they only got to be completed once, so they demanded the player to complete them again.

    If there weren't so many frustrating bugs and this game wasn't a mess, i would have given it a 10/10 without a doubt, but unfortunately that's not the case here.    … Expand

    The animals tended to be out of control as well. People wandering around tended to get randomly attacked by up to 3 different animals as well. You can hear them so often yelling about a different animal like it was 'Short Bus to the Zoo Day'.

    The combat is decent and challenging. The weapons are satisfying to use. The scenarios are both diverse and fun. There are also fun situations that you find yourself in. Amazing music. The Bombay Royale is just epic! Those Reggie and Yogi quests just rock it!

    Despite all the issues with aspects to this game, the epic qualities pull it to a level of being one of the best. Far Cry 3 was a very different game in so many ways. Those people thinking that it is "The same" have no feel. I would give this game a 9.4...but the closest to that is a 9. Well done!    … Expand

    This game is a lot of fun, but it's pretty much an expansion pack to Far Cry 3 in terms of capturing outposts, guns and collectables. The story builds up into something that could have potential but leaves you wanting at the end, no matter what 'story path' you take, if you can even call it that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Far Cry 4 >>> Far Cry 3.

    I'm going to go against the grain of the 'User' reviews here because this is my game of the decade (2010's).
    The mainstream trend are the people that cry out that this game is ''FC 3.5''. This could not be any less accurate. The facts are that it's a totally different storyline (and wow, what an Epic stage you are set here). Far-Cry 3 appears to be aimed at teens, Far Cry 4 is the far more understanding, grown-up affair.

    I disliked the wannabe-edgy, tightly-wound cliched plot of FC3. I liked the 'voodoo slant' it had, it by no means is 'bad' but it's just basically another drug baron fest with the usual ''characters'' all macho burly men and blabla yea whatever. ''Avenge you slain brother/sister''. ''Oh, your friend's getting tortured by generic-villain X, avenge!!'' Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Never heard those before!

    But hey, these sort of easy-cheap 'stories' and 'characters' sell, don't they?

    Far Cry 4 is civil war. The setting is incredible; there's no deep ''jungle warfare'' or trenches or boring tactics here: instead Kyrat is open, mountainous with tonnes of nooks and crannies (where the sidequests take place).

    It's an Open-World playground where your meaning has actual severe weighting on a nation. Kyrat is distinct, and has the token 'Far Cry oddities' in the lore of the legends; hallucinogenic tripfests that manifest themselves in the game's side-quests.

    These are weird, trippy and an amazing experience that have a neat 'boss' battle tossed in normally at the end. You encounter the ancient lore and history of the region 1st hand in this 'zone'. Strange versions of tigers, a Masked-maniac ancient assassin, even a Yeti!

    Not the silly stage where you're teleported into a small dark-room totally unexplained to engage in a boring weird fight between a drug baron wielding a knife that makes 0 sense. Is it the 'dagger' doing that? It's never explained anyway. Try using a proper sword Far Cry 3 xD

    Anyway; this gives you many weapons; knives, AR's, MG's and RL's. You ride a neat makeshift scrapyard influenced min-copter that is surprisingly efficient.

    The neat thing is; at the 'turning point' of the game, you have to pledge allegiance with one of the 3 'leaders'. And this is the amazing part; none of them are really ''Good''. There's no ''avenge the bad guyyy!1'' here; this is an uneasy, unsettling fork in your life-story to own a whole region, your own country.

    What does FC3 give you? Nothing. There's an option to kill all your friends anyway which is stupid and flies in the face of the so called ''avenge your brother'' narrative they want to push. What's that all about? Makes 0 sense. You're just given the choice and what's your reward; FC3 shows you no ''Aztec Pyramid of Gold'' or a whole armory of the most badass weapons to rule the island with (for the bad guy ending). It's pointless.

    FC4 gives you a Nation with post side quests to perk your tools POST-GAME. It's absolutely satisfying and to also know, you have a very powerful ally you sided with who is now BENEATH YOU in serving you.

    At least these aren't your friends but killing one of Amita, Subhal or Pagan still leaves you with a weird, uneasy feeling.

    None of them are designed ''ugly''. Subhal looks like your best m8 dude. Pagan has amazing tastes in suits and Amita is the 'treasured girl'. But all have blood on their hands, it almost frustrates you but then you suddenly realise - what is power?

    You realise the maturity in knowing, owning a Nation, total power - you're never totally 'clean'. Yet, you have so much power. Kids waxing on FC3's ''avenge himm!!!'' simpleton story just will not understand the meaning behind civil war.

    I could go on about the actual gameplay mechanic, the details of the wildlife but honestly, it'd fill 2 pages. The game of course is not 'perfect perfect'; you will find a few 'expected' Open-world flaws such as the story being just 'too loose' for some and enemy AI can be poor. And on normal settings, it's just too easy, with too many perks and abilities to re-gain your health even mid-battle!

    Inquisitive, thought-provoking, trippy, mature - with a playground of riches, wildlife and oddities to discover all beneath your 2 feet. Glorious!    … Expand

    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

Same goes for certain intended mechanics and characters (disappearing vehicles, potheads). The microtransactions are present and so is the SJW crap to a certain degree. DLCs are decent enough, but overpriced as usual.

    Farcry 4 is sort of a pre-cursor to Farcry 5, with a better environment and to some extent , better guns – yes I really liked some of the odd guns on here. The world is bigger, actually more interesting and certainly has a lot more pick ups and collectables, which does help to branch out the actual experience -(though the collectables are worthless on their own). The story does workFarcry 4 is sort of a pre-cursor to Farcry 5, with a better environment and to some extent , better guns – yes I really liked some of the odd guns on here. The world is bigger, actually more interesting and certainly has a lot more pick ups and collectables, which does help to branch out the actual experience -(though the collectables are worthless on their own). The story does work ok, but I would say this benefits with more immersion than Farcry 5 – the game feels 'deeper'. (yes 'deeper' for a Farcry game, Ha!, I mean it :) )

    Farcry 5 is better with regard to structuring in the story and generally feeling more fluid in general and is certainly not a lesser game mind you... Oh not to mention given the Dunia engine is improved over this , which I have mentioned about at the bottom of this review... Dunia here is VERY rough around the edges.

    Stealth works and the outpost system has been improved from the previous game(you can fight larger ones called fortresses and replay them (something I resented not being able to do in Farcry 3)).

    Story wise ; the Environment of 'Kyat' is very interesting to see, both in the way the oppressive world occurs, as well as the religious bits that are added to it. I found the Oriental thing that goes with this was great. To some extent I would say some creativity has been applied here. Its a shame that the overall 'take out' is not substantial (of what the game wants to say, rather than what actually happened.). The story does however take some time to 'get' and the initial impressions are quite confounding. ( although your ' rude plus one' has just been tortured and you have just narrowly escaped having picked up guns and just started off, as you do, stealth killing and shooting people)

    It's also refreshing to see that what you would have imagined when first playing the game is dis-spelled closer to the end, In-all: most characters are perceived as quite human. And although certain characters hint at having their darker sides, it is only as you choose a faction at the end that you see their real nature.

    In saying that combat in Farcry is FARCRY. You like shooting people in the face and tracking around and not getting caught ? Farcry is for you, not to mention stealing cars and running people over and then being chased and shot at... This game can get just as chaotic as any other and its what make Farcry GREAT!

    Additionally to this, I did like hunting – it did have a certain competence and patience to it, yet was not too hard – it was rewarding and made me feel like a Bowss. Not sure about fishing though – but its good to have it there

    What's more, stealth is very solid. If you liked Creeping around and not getting caught on Dishonoured or Metal Gear, then this is the game for you! Creeping around, knife killing and take down-killing, without being noticed is very comprehensive on this game, made better by the fact that you can replay those outpost attacks (and there are larger ones called fortresses too).

    Oh did I mention the Wingsuit???!! I know they robbed it from Just cause, but man is it satisfying to just fly down to a mission or climb up a mountain and then fly all the way down to town – the wing suit is great!( if not for the bugs :P)

    The perk tree system is completely missable and the need to loot later in the game expires, this is a shame, though without both, Farcry would become much simpler – so for what they are, they help the game become better.

    Multiplayer is worth playing to explore and just play the game with freinds, but you WONT be able to play any missions at all,only the lesser 'doing quests' and exploring . All progress, like on Farcry 5 is locked to the host only, and the guest only receives the experience that they gain.

    NOTE: Yes so if you want to play Farcry with a friend, Farcry 5 is a better choice.

    The worst aspect of Farcry 4 is the engine – there is not a lot to hate about Farcry 4, - but this is the most frustrating. Here are a few examples - but take this away with you, Farcry 4 feels like its testing the 'Dunia' engine, so Farcry 5 seems to not experience the same issues, so lets just say these problems have been acknowledged, at least in the next iteration of the game.
    -Jumping often starts wing suit
    -interactions with objects often take 5 seconds to begin
    -Interactions with said objects that are close to each other get confused
    -Stealth system is petty and hive minded    … Expand

    Subjectively for me the third and fourth parts are in one place according to the interest, atmosphere and study of the World, 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. But since I liked this story too, I will give the third part a highest rating, and to this part almost highest.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. while it does nothing different or better than it's predecessor, the setting and antagonist makes it far more enjoyable (for me) then far cry 3.
    Pagan Min is perhaps the series best villain to date. he's charismatic, a bit unhinged but also conflicted.
    he loved your(ajay's) mother, hated your father and so it leaves him with mixed feelings about you. over the course of the story you learn the truth about the events that lead up to far cry 4's time period. you also discover that your father was as much of a villian as pagan is.
    So, here's the deal; your father knew that pagan had the hots for his wife(your mom) and so he sends her to seduce him. too bad for your father they had a child together, a girl, your half sister. in a rage your father kills the girl and your mother kills him and takes you and flees to america before the resistance kill you both for the loss of their leader. the loss of his daughter kind pushes pagan over the edge.

    over the course of the game it becomes clear that pagan doesn't want you dead, and depending on certain choices you make, you'll find this out for sure. for a far cry game, there's a surprising amount of nuance to the story. it's definitely worth a buy if you liked far cry 3, but felt voss was a bit one noted.    … Expand

    I'm not sure why everyone is bashing this game. The game is a decent improvement from its predecessor, and the ability to fly and turn on autopilot for vehicles is a total time-saver. The Shangri-La missions were very unique and a nice breath of fresh air from most open world games.

    People are saying that this game's a carbon copy of its predecessor, but what did they expect? Obviously    I'm not sure why everyone is bashing this game. The game is a decent improvement from its predecessor, and the ability to fly and turn on autopilot for vehicles is a total time-saver. The Shangri-La missions were very unique and a nice breath of fresh air from most open world games.

    People are saying that this game's a carbon copy of its predecessor, but what did they expect? Obviously the game isn't going to differ by much. It's really difficult to improve a game that's already really well done. There are some elements of Far Cry 4 that were balanced better than its predecessor and feel less gimmicky.

    The graphics are just amazing, and the optimization is significantly better than FC3 and Blood Dragon. I did experience some technical issues with the game, though. I noticed that if I alt-tabbed for too long and then returned back, the mouse would lock up unless I restarted the game. For those who multitask like me, this can be troublesome to deal with.

    Also, when I tried to play the game with a controller, all of the key mappings were wrong and there was no way to fix it. It seems to be a known issue. That isn't a big deal if you use the mouse and keyboard, but for those who game with a controller, it will be frustrating.

    Another thing I'll add is that the story was really random and uncanny. In FC3 and BD, you're given a great introduction to a character and a conflict that you really harmonize with. In FC4, you don't really care about the character or what he does. You just go through a bunch of strange missions that don't make any sense.

    The gameplay was improved enough to balance out the overall weak story and help it get a score of 8, but that's about it. It's more like a 7.5, since there are things to like about the game, and also things that aren't as likable. Overall though, I'm content with Far Cry 4, and I enjoyed the Shangri-La missions.

    THE SYRINGE MISSION DLC
    This DLC gives you a taste of the Himalayas map before you actually to those missions. It wasn't particularly long, but it was an interesting little adventure. I wouldn't front the cost of the Season Pass just for it, though. Score: 6/10

    THE BLOOD RUBY DLC
    This DLC mission was very similar to The Syringe Mission, but just in a different context. It wasn't particularly long, and it felt a little too straightforward. Score: 6/10

    HURK'S REDEMPTION DLC
    A set of three missions. The first one was easy, short, and not at all memorable. The second one was funny since you could ride an elephant, but that's pretty much it. The third mission was boring and a bit glitchy. Overall, I just didn't like the character Hurk. It was pretty mindnumbing to watch his cutscenes. Score: 5/10

    THE YAK FARM DLC
    In this DLC, the final fight was challenging, and wasn't a cakewalk like the rest of the game. Although the overall mission was short and simple, it was better than the other DLC missions. Score: 7/10

    VALLEY OF THE YETIS DLC
    This DLC was really enjoyable to play. It wasn't some cheap single mission thing like the previous ones; it was a full-fledged extra map with its own set of missions. The balancing leaves some room to be desired (the Yetis being too strong and the weapons being super weak), but overall the DLC was fun and challenging to play. Score: 8/10    … Expand

    Far cry 4 is is a great follow up to the much lavished far cry 3 improving on alot of things but not really doing anything differently, but i think if you make lots of little improvements to games over sequels it will still make good games . the pokemon franchise has been doing this for years and has worked for that series. but dose it work for far cry ?

    Story: far cry 4 follows the story of Ajay Galle a what seems to be an american college student whos mom passed away and is trying to spread his mothers ashes where she grew up. only to find out where she grew up is under the tyranical rule of pagen min an ex triad revolutionary who took over the country of kyrat and turned it into his personal play thing. but has a surprising amount of loyalty from his subjects, now i have to give special mention to troy baker as he seen what Micheal mando did and then put his own spin on things and that created pagen min. Ajay is then thrust into a war between pagen and the golden path who he finds out his biological father started and has to chose between sabal ( a religious fanatic who wants to marry off little girls and just the worst of the relgious traditions) or Amita ( who wants to turn the whole country into a heroin farm ) so nither choices are good but i still went with Amita the first time cause at least she has some smarts but sabal cares more about his people and this dynamic will lead to a clash down the road where one will end up in hiding or dead but its up to you WHO. the story telling on display here is far more refinded than far cry 3 , the duality is still there withj the tiger and the elephant skill trees , and the choosing of amita and sabal is essentially choosing between your mother and your father as well as makeing pagen min some one who actually came between your parents uhm marriage ? i dont think its explicit said ajays parents are were married but lets assume, pagen was in love with your mom and so for the most of the game he wants you on his side and trys to change your mind ( poorly but he trys)
    Story:8.5/10

    World building: Agent willis huntly , is al i have to say for world building , hes been in every game main game since 3 and his satirical patriotism is always a treat. but besides him there isnt much that connects the games this may keep the franchise from getting stale and its ability to reinvent it self but fallout dose that any ways and look how incredible that games lore is. i know the world building is not the point of this game but i think it could have done a little better. other than that its just pagen doing bad things and the golden path doing good things, so its serviceable.
    World building: 6/10

    Graphics: there is not a single far cry game with bad graphics, far cry 4 has alot of graphical improvements over 3 , clearer picture , shadows and lighting are excellent and the textures and models are crisp, ajay actually has cloths and you can see the cloths and isnt just running around in atee shiort and shorts carrying 4 full sized guns ( although hes still carrying and impractical amount of equipment) , cars look better inside heaving a lot of detail and there is more variety of them. this game looks great and is definitly an improvement on 3.
    Graphics : 9.5/10

    Game play: far cry 4 is formulaic , its a little to much like 3 Witch in the long run im ok with because it game them time to focus more on other avenues like story graphics , locations and sound design. BUT far cry 4 i like to think of the csi new york to far cry 3's csi miami. both good shows and entertaining but different enough . there is more side missions though so they didnt forget to add extra stuff, but the missions arnt what make far cry memorable, every incarnation of far cry the most important thing to it is the guns , how they jerk when you shoot , how your charcter reloads m the models them selves , well far cry 4 takes all the guns from 3 and adds another 20 on top of that and its addicting to try every one and its this simple fact that makes the game feel like dlc rather than a sequel , along with the missions being basically the same. but this game still makes you feel like an action movie hero with a large sandbox and thats all i want out of far cry games , if they continue to do this i will always buy the next far cry game.
    Gameplay: 8.5/10

    Sound design: the most improved part of this game , and it probably went completely unnoticed for most people, the guns still have the same punchy ness BUT the explosions sound incredible , voice acting was elevated haveing alot more stand out performances and more memorable characters . the music was made in a style that fit the games setting as well similar to 3 but done better.
    Sound design: 8/10

    8.5+6+9.5+8.5+8= 40.5
    40.5/5= 8.1/10

    far cry 4 is not a much better game than 3 BUT still adds enough that it is even if its slightly. its easy to see why people think this should have been dlc but its just a slightly improved game.    … Expand

So FC4 being just a mission pack to FC3 doesn't bother me. The new things are welcome, I like the elephants, I like the small helicopter we can travel with. This is cool stuff. What I don't like is the story and the main villain. I actually love Pagan Min, but I don't like what happens in the game. The story is clearly wrong, we're the bad guys here. No matter who we choose (the pedophile or the drug kingpin) we're f***ed. And I know that there's a secret option at the beginning where we can wait and we just fly off with Pagan having fun, but that's not enough. Also, I'm aware that later in the game we can spare Pagin life, but still that's not enough. There should have been a third option, siding with Pagan and that's missing from the game. The first time, I played this game and was slowly discovering, that I'm supporting the wrong guys was annoying me. The game didn't gave me fun, because I was on the wrong side of the conflict. F**k rebels, I want to join Pagan and cast down a sea of fire upon these **** But that's not the choice here and that's why FC4 in my memory became a bad experience. Shame. Big shame.

More depth in story, and side missions shangri-la where amazing imo, the AI was better than on fc5 , (bit weird though). Also what i liked more is that you have to work to get better weapons, on 5 I got the best sniper-gun right away from start, spoiled the game a bit imo.

    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.

From the graphics to the UI they improved on 3 by quite some!

    What you might like:
    * A lot of activities to play around in, many optional unless you have to have absolutely every weapon in the game.
    * Unexpected world events that will sometimes make you laugh (and cry at other times when things don't go in your favour)
    * Co-op, user created maps (some of the outposts are absolutely brilliant), varied gameplay elements that round it up just beautifully (standard races, "danger" races as I call them that have you race in dangerous conditions all while switching vehicles to keep the adrenaline pumping), arena combat pitting you against NPC's and wild animals (and against each other), etc.
    * Some fun sequences that will mix things up in areas that look and behave differently to the standard game world...

    What you might not like:
    * Some appear to dislike the story enough to give it a fairly low rating. Sure it's not the best story I've encountered in a game but I honestly don't have it weigh as heavily as the other elements that make a game fun.
    * There are still un-skippable cut-scenes in this one and even after letting a few years pass between replays I found them rather annoying to have to sit through again when I just wanted to get on with the action.
    * A world littered with collectables. This can get pretty long in the tooth having all of these little icons just prompting you to collect them especially when combined with the hunting required to upgrade some vital elements (more weapons, more ammo, larger backpack to carry around stuff, etc.).

    Conclusion:
    * It's a fun game that I've had an absolute blast re-playing again especially while waiting for Far Cry 5. Sure nothing will ever make me pre-order a game ever again but this one will be watched very closely after release to see how the review scores pan out.    … Expand

    I have very much enjoyed playing Far Cry, Far Cry 2 and 3. Far Cry 4 is very much based on the gameplay of its predecessor, but it suffers from serious bugs. This is the only game to be crashing on my PC, causing very frequent loss of progress. No patches available from the publisher/developer, so I gave up.

    Far Cry 4 a graphic is like Far Cry 3 ,
    the story seems almost continuous .
    In my opinion it was not very exciting as the last.
    The mobs are too a bit ' too repetitive

    Graphics are extremely beautiful and the landscapes are so stunning, the Himalayas are truly amazing in this game, a breathtaking experience. The freedom, the greatness, everything is really impressive. I also liked the animations they are very well done.

    The game in a nutshell is a huge, wild, open world sandbox. With tons of side missions, an arena to compete (I had a blast there, it was very challenging and you can use your smartphone with arena master to create your own encounters, try them and share them with the community, which I really enjoyed).

    With so many places to discover and explore, collectibles and secrets to find, a rich culture for Kyrat, some eccentric NPCs, lots of freedom, real time events, a wild, dangerous and sometimes overwhelming (yet pretty) wildlife, I’m sure you will have a great time exploring Kyrat.
    I loved the combat system, it has a lot of action, explosions, gun fights, but also stealthy assaults, you can even ride elephants to kill your enemies in very creative ways. Land vehicles are ok, flying is really fun and sometimes challenging (I wish you could fly a bit higher sometimes). As for the story it’s all right.

    An essential if you loved FC3 and a great game if it’s your first FC. FC4 is a fun game that you shouldn't miss.
    The only downside is coop, I found coop really weak and it’s a shame you can’t play the campaign missions in this way, just a bunch of side quest missions which can be fun at first, but gets old and repetitive soon enough and it’s a two player only mode… coop in FC3 was way, way better than this. Consider FC4 a single player game, coop feels like a waste here. This is my only complaint.    … Expand

    This game has a serious case of shoving **** down your throat... After I started a main quest, a ****ty side quest defend this type of crap was near me and the game prompted me to go there. Ubisoft has had this problem for year. Useless and repetitive side stuff to distract you from the main quest. No. Please, no. It's enough.

    There are some good and bad things about the game:

    Good: gunplay, graphics, possibilities of open world, duration...
    Bad things: too similar to FC3. Its like a DLC...

    Anyway, its a very decent game. Give it a try!

    Let’s start with what I liked about this game
    1. Co-op mode cause it’s fun to take bases with friends, and if you want to say **** it and charge headlong into a base and trip all the alarms it’s good to have some cover (grenade launcher optional). It’s not the best co-op but it’s so much better than the “co-op” from the last game I had to make mention of it.
    2. The buzzer, it’s just fun    Let’s start with what I liked about this game

Co-op mode cause it’s fun to take bases with friends, and if you want to say **** it and charge headlong into a base and trip all the alarms it’s good to have some cover (grenade launcher optional). It’s not the best co-op but it’s so much better than the “co-op” from the last game I had to make mention of it.
    2. The buzzer, it’s just fun to rain death on enemies and it makes backtracking more bearable.
    3. Min is awesome, most interesting person in game, unfortunately that’s also a down side
    4. The first secret ending

    Things I don’t like as follows
    1. My Nivida card works great with this game, and while my AMD card gets high fps it had some stuttering issues, which I could fix but caused me to take a slight hit to graphics and not everyone would be able to fix this.
    2. To restrained, ok so far cry 3 and 4 you play someone who kills more people than the plague, and with very little prodding I may add, but when people poison you, drug you, or otherwise perform any action that a normal person would at least consider shooting them over you never do anything to them, there’s no option to and you can’t accuse the PC character of restraint.
    3. No good reason to stay in the country, I’m sure your mom would forgive you not fighting a war single handedly just to spread her ashes and no normal sane person would have done so.
    4. Ending is **** aside from the secret ending, the other endings to this game suck, I thought the last game was lacking in this regard but those endings were gold compared to this.
    5. Only likeable characters are Bhadra and Min, and chances are they both die, I was twenty minutes into this game and wanted to swap sides and work for Min, and then Bhadra is ether killed or enslaved as a holy figurehead.
    6. Double DRM, ok so I bought this through steam which is DRM but I also have to run Uplay to play this game which is also DRM, and so I have steam and its overlays and Uplay nagging me to use its overlays, no thanks I only need the one set you don’t have to ask me everything I launch the game, I’m fine with UBI wanting their own DRM and at least they are not dicks like EA and pull all their games from every other distro to try and make you use a ****y game crashing P.O.S., and it looks much better than it used to, in a few more years I may like Uplay, but you gotta know if I can buy your game through other sources I don’t need your notifications and overlays and nagging me about them or making them necessary to parts of games doesn’t win you points, if I don’t want to use the steam overlays I turn them off and never get bothered about them again and can do so on a by game basis please follow suit.
    7. Co-op mode buggy, and doesn’t allows you to play campaign sections together.
    8. **** weapon, why do people build games like this you end up with a small number of good guns and a ton of guns no one will ever use because there’s always a better gun in that class, if pistol A. and pistol B. are the same but pistol B. has a higher attack and they are about the same price why even put pistol A. in the game
    9. Parts of the game obviously cut like fashion week, this is just something that happens games have development constraints to time and such and there’s nothing to be done but they couldn’t even change the game dialogue to have it make since you still move on like it’s going to happen and the npc just isn’t there when you get there leaving only a note would have felt better if they could have gotten the voice actor to do a line say sorry to run or something, paper note is so obvious it hurts.
    10. Drug trips, ok I LOVED the drug tripping sessions in FC3 they made since to the story, they were fun and colorful and you were never really sure what you did while they happened and that was great, its easier to understand the PC’s transformation while under the influence of hallucinogens but it feels like it’s in FC 4 just cause it was popular in FC3 and stands out like a sore thumb from the game rather than fitting in and always broke my immersion except maybe at the prison.
    11. Most importantly no feelings, far cry 3 had the feels man, I hated Vaas for killing my brother, I got mad at npc’s and was happy when saving my friends the only thing far cry 4 made me fell was sad I was on the rebel side.
    12. I want to work for Min, out of everyone that could run Kyrat he is the least evil, most likeable person at the end of the game I ended up killing the rebel I sided with and wishing I could find Min and bring him back.    … Expand

The controls were fluid and I never once felt like I died from bad control. What I don't like is the healing system. Having to hit ctrl to heal was monotonous. If I didn't have a healing syringe i was stuck waiting behind a wall waiting for the slow healing animation to finish. After running out and killing a few enemy I was stuck behind a wall again healing. Driving cars around Kyrat is fun and its fun to listen to the radio and hear what they say. The stealth parts were the worst as you had to very slowly crouch evrywhere and stop for a minute to wait for a guy to turn around and kill him. It slows the game down so much that it makes me not want to play. On the otherhand, parts where you and the golden path charge bases is always fun and gets your adrenaline going. Pagen Min is a great antagonist as he's fun to watch/listen to when he's there, I wish he talked more in the story than he did. Amita and Sabal are forgettable characters and I personally didn't like either of them. There are many missions that are available like yogi and Reggie were you get high and run for a few minutes then it's done or Hurk where you have to collect these monkey statues (my favorite) and Willis which is are the worst missions. The most dislikable character and some of the hardest and unfair missions in the game. The Golden path missions are very fun and had the most action. Whether your in Kyrat, Shangri La, or the Himalayas it looks amazing!!! The ending was a little disappointing but the atmosphere of the game was great. The crafting system worked well, even though I didn't use it much it was very useful when I did. The different skills you can learn add to the experience (The extra Health bar is the best in my opinion). Overall Far Cry 4 is a great experience, is it the best game of 2014? No, but it is a great game to the Far Cry franchise and made me want a Far Cry 5. Anyone can have fun with this game as there is something for everyone. Far Cry 4 receives a 8.2/10.… Expand

    To be honest it is very repetitive once you do each thing a few times the game really does not have much to keep it super interesting.

    The stealth mode, combined with an open-world and a co-op option is the strongest point of the game, and a treasure full of funtime,    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Many complain that Far Cry 4 is just a Far Cry 3 reskin, but it's because it worked before, and it works now. The scenery is beautiful, the crafting is fun, the additional objectives are great. The main storyline is good. I think it is better than Far Cry 3. And oh, it may be debatable, but Pagan Min is far better than Vaas. I actually wanted to work with Pagan. Not a perfect game, but very enjoyable for me.… Expand

    It has no significant difference with FarCry3. But cmon, it's FarCry. Breathtaking graphic with "FarCry" things and symbolic story about how people's desire really are. i had such a quality time playing this game.

Basically, I loved the addition of Fortresses, and the endless repetitive/samey side-missions were still addictive. But, what on earth is going on with the texture pop-ins, even on a Titan X! Music, fantastic, and seriously great animals. I reckon for the next one it should be Vietnam, but with a twist that deep in some Viet Cong jungle there is a dinosaur cave that accidentally gets discovered :)… Expand

    Open world, freedom to go almost anywhere and approach problems for many different angles, many weapons and upgrades and a protagonist that is not a total douche (Far Cry 3)

    However the game is maybe a little too much like Far Cry 3. Mechanics, exploration and especially the feeling has not changed much. The snowy tibet landscape feels a lot more crowded than i d like it to.

    However the game is maybe a little too much like Far Cry 3. Mechanics, exploration and especially the feeling has not changed much. The snowy tibet landscape feels a lot more crowded than i d like it to. I was expecting ... well, an environment that is admittedly not so suited for a game ... that is vast areas of not much more than landscape with sparse hotspots. Instead the whole world feels not much different from the Island of Far Cry 3 in terms of infrastructure.
    The AI has not made great leaps forward - and while the enemies are not too shabby once alarmed, they seem to value their life a lot less than they should - resulting in the typical getting-mowed-down-by-i-am-not-a-soldier-protagonist ... in the hundreds.

    Vehicles offer a nice change of pace but the program is not really optimized for them - or so it feels.

    Now - what about the main aspect of the game... is it fun and does the fun last?

    Yes - it is fun. The compromise of gradually unlocking the world, story and sidemissions will keep a player playing and offers a lot of well spent fun time.
    Like Far Cry 3 however - the action becomes easier and easier especially when the player keeps doing every little sidemission prior to advancing to storymissions.

    The UI is well done, the graphics are better than Far Cry 3, which still holds up well today in terms of looks. I should express my ... surprise about the optimization. It runs very well on even mid range computers - that is.. if you can get it running in the first place.

    loading times are rather long but excusable for such a world

    If there had not been a Far Cry 3 ... this game would totally justify a 10/10 rating in my opinion...

    Lets be honest though... since it copies most of Far Cry 3... improves it significantly but still copies most of it... it is an 8/10 for me. A great game - a better protagonist, an antagonist that is not as memorable as the one from Far Cry 3 (but i can live with that trade)

    What is left once the campaign is done....

    not much that other games cannot do much much better - and the open world does not invite much for keeping playing. It does however invite for another playthrough after some time.    … Expand

    Two weak areas in the game are game play and balance.
    Game play is extremely fun at first, but over time it becomes more like quest to finish then addictive play. Even though new tasks or characters are introduced frequently, the essence of the missions remains the same, which makes it dull. I would say I would not consider replaying this game after done the first time.

I would say I would not consider replaying this game after done the first time.

    In terms of balance, this is where I think most the weakness in game play originates from. I played on hardest setting. AI is actually descent, and tends to perform well in most scenarios. They tend to be very aggressive and offensive, and will also independently use heavy weapons and equipment if available in the area. The problem is player’s fire power and its availability. In the beginning, the game seems to be very challenging, but after player acquires heavy rifles, no scenarios or opponents offer any challenge. This essentially turns the game into running and gunning; where most fun is obtained in the ways one perform the “gunning” part.

    Graphics sounds and animations are probably the strongest areas in the game.
    Graphics is realistic looking. Most all objects are HD textures, which only few areas looking more like console quality textures. Overall graphics is decently optimized, and allow even the lower generation of HW to run it with what I would describe as very good visual quality with acceptable FPS. Latest VGA Hw can also do some latest graphical settings such as fur, tessellation, etc.. Animations in play and in the movies are very rich and expressive, which add to the overall immersion. Sounds are very high quality, with nearly all actions having some kind of unique sounds. Overall, the game is graphically very impressive.
    Other consideration: I have not played FC3, but based on the experience with FC4, I would probably wait until I have nothing better to do before trying it.    … Expand

    It is honestly an OK game. The world is pretty brilliant and is fun to run around in, but the shooting is very mainstream and some parts of the game are unappealing, especially the barricades that prevent you from moving to new areas. It would have been better with a grittier feel and less "Call of Duty" feeling. I would rather play Far Cry 2 instead.

    Mis sensaciones sobre este juego las voy a resumir así: llevo más de 30 horas jugadas y aún no he detectado síntomas de aburrimiento.

    Coincido en la crítica principal, es un far cry 3.5, pero la verdad, con un mundo nuevo tan grande poco me importa. A veces me he tirado 2 o 3 horas solamente volando con el buzzer y explorando nuevas localizaciones, de las más de 200 que hay. ¿La    Mis sensaciones sobre este juego las voy a resumir así: llevo más de 30 horas jugadas y aún no he detectado síntomas de aburrimiento.

    ¿La historia? Bueno bastante clásica, pero suficiente para acompañar al resto de cosas que se pueden hacer (tomar puestos, defenderlos, tomar campanarios (ya cansa un poco el Assassin's style), cazar animalillos, escalar cumbres, asaltar fortalezas, etc etc.).

    En fin, un juego para que el busque acción desenfadada en un mundo gigantesto. Puro liberador de adrenalina con el mogollón de armas del que dispones.    … Expand

    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"...

    Don't buy this!    … Expand

    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]
