    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.

    I personally like this game more than the 3 one. Maybe its story isn't as interesting as the previous entry in the series but it's still a very strong compact narrative. The gameplay on the other hand is where this game really shines from its predecessor. It takes everything from 3 and improves upon it. I also have a soft spot for anything close to the Himalayas.

Game takes place in outstanding, remarkable Kyriat. Graphics looks way better than Far Cry 3, technological develop is noticeable on every step. Also audio binding was worth admiring. Pagan Min is in no way worse than memorable Vaas from the previous game. Story is good enough, important choices meanwhile are quite simple and limited, but it does not bother. There is huge number of side activities, which are more interesting and varied than in 2012, but few of them are ridiculous. Sometimes the content is too repeteable, which artificially makes game bigger.
    Nevertheless discovering great, open world in Far Cry 4 with the improved gameplay was really fun. Excellent shooter - not everywhere you are able to shoot to a hippo, drive over one opponent and sneak to kill another one.    … Expand

    Despite the fact that Far Cry 4 is just Far Cry 3, with a new story and a new location, the atmosphere of this game is one of the most memorable of all the games I've played, making me perceive the reused elements from Far Cry 3 not necessarily as a lack of imagination, but as a preservation of quality.

    - Gameplay -
    If you loved Far Cry 3's gameplay, you can experience it all again and more in Far Cry 4. Open world, hunting, crafting, gliding, stealthing, shooting, outpost liberating, tower climbing, it's all there. Carry out a mission however you like. You want to kill them all with a rocket launcher, go ahead. Want to stealth through it with a bow and arrows, be my guest. I personally loved the hunting and crafting system in Far Cry 4. The upgrades you could get felt very useful in many stealth and combat situations. Hence, it gave me a lot of incentive to go out of my way and hunt that rare animal. It felt satisfying.

    Out of all the stealth games I've played, the Far Cry series definitely has my favourite enemy detection meter. It doesn't fill up too fast or too slow, it gives you just enough time to jump into cover if they catch a glimpse of you. This allows you to continue stealth combat, instead of being forced into an all out brawl. But at the same time, the game doesn't let you just run loose and not get detected. If you're too braise, you'll be rightfully spotted out. The system feels fair.

    You can choose from a range of vehicles just like Far Cry 3. Though not too many new ones, but you can ride an elephant and ram into people. And probably one of the most amusing things is back. Watching enemies or allies getting attacked by random animals. Eagles are my favorite.

    - Narrative -
    The story and characters has to be what brought my rating from an 7 to a 9. AJ Ghale is a protagonist you want to fight for. He's bringing his mother's ashes back to her homeland, but there's much to discover about his origins through this journey. You uncover bits and pieces of AJ's family's past, and the influence his parents had there. It's all still a big mystery, until the very end. The game has you thinking one thing, but the ending completely turns it upside down. It's also how they presented it. In an instant, WITHOUT words, all your questions are answered. I've seen my fair share of plot twists in movies and games, but this has to be one of the best. Once I opened that door, it all made sense. I literally just sat there in my chair, not moving my character, for a good 5 minutes reflecting on every major dialogue throughout the game, and how it all made sense, the moment I opened this door. It was a surreal feeling. There's also an alternate ending which allows you to complete the game in less than 15 mins. It's amusing to say the least.

    - Visual & Sound -
    Another very strong aspect about Far Cry. The visuals. The lush atmosphere. The detailed environment. Instead of tropical islands this time, you're out in the mountains and peaks. Animals and people are very interactive. Though I feel the devs reused too many of the same models for the allies and enemies, they literally all look the same. Like I swear I just killed this enemy, now he's strolling around as a civillian in a village, what?

    - Replay value -
    There are plenty of side missions, forts, and treasures to loot after your first play through, assuming you didn't get everything along the way.

    Thanks for reading.    … Expand

    One of my favorite games of all time.

    It is a fun game. The gameplay and the story are awesome. The story for me is 10/10. The main story follows Ajay Ghale, a young Kyrati-American, as he is caught in a civil war involving Kyrat's Royal Army, controlled by tyrannical king Pagan Min, and a rebel movement called the Golden Path. And there are many plot twists and different finals, but    One of my favorite games of all time.

And there are many plot twists and different finals, but I think the best part was to choose between Annita and Sabal. The final is really interesting either way and it is one of the few games I really liked the story.

    The gameplay is also incredible, the player has so many takedowns options and they all are fun and simple to execute as every game should be. It is sensational trying to invade an enemy base just to try to kill everyone with takedowns, it is the best part of the game. Also, I really love the healings animation.

    Also, I've played Far Cry 3 and I like way more the 4. I think pretty much all things were improved, even the story I think the 4 is better.    … Expand

Крафт сумок лично мне показался маленьким ибо я в первой четверти выкачивал все сумки на 3 уровень и просто бегал по аванпостам в поисках заданий “Недели моды Кирата” или как-то так.

    Pagan Min nimmt während der Story die ganze Zeit Kontakt zu einem auf und ist dabei immer sehr höflich aber natürlich gestört. In dem DLC Escape from Prison oder wie das auch immer heißt gibt er dir auch Anweisungen wie du gegen seine eigenen Leute überlebst, schon ziemlich cool. Neben den 32 Story-Missionen kann man auch 24 Außenposten einnehmen, welche einem weitere Nebenaktivitäten freischalten, das sind so Aufgaben wie Attentate, jemanden heimlich killen oder mit einer bestimmten Waffe, etwas mit einer bestimmten Waffe jagen, woraus man sich dann Stufe 4/4 von seinem Waffengurt etc. freischalten kann, Bomben entschärfen, wenn man bemerkt wird, schalten sie sie scharf und man hat nur noch 15 Sekunden pro Bombe (ist eig immer schaffbar), Propagandazentren zerstören oder Geiseln befreien, da geht es um Taktik, erstmal alle aufdecken, dann die auf erhöhten Positionen ausschalten und dann auf den Rest draufstürmen oder von hinten einen Takedown durchführen. Ich hab diese Missionen so gut wie alle mit der Predator gemacht (schallgedämpfte Sniper). Dazu gibt es auch 17 Glockentürme, die ich auf der erste Map-Hälfte alle bestiegen bin, aber ich der zweiten alle mit einem Gyrokopter abgeflogen bin und immer ganz oben geparkt habe, ja das einparken ist etwas tricky und er ist mir zum Glück erst beim 17. Glockenturm runtergefallen, weil die Rotoren diesmal nicht aufhören wollte, bis der Holzbalken endlich platz macht. Dazu noch 4 Festungen, welche geschwächt werden, wenn ihr jeweils 25% der Story abgeschlossen habt, es gibt quasi 4 hohe Tiere in diesem Spiel, welchen die Festungen gehören, die machten mir besonders viel Spaß einzunehmen.

    Es gibt auch noch bunte Buchstaben auf der Map, das orange L ist ein durchgeknallter "Priester" mir fällt das richtige Wort gerade nicht ein, aber er möchte seine Sünden wieder reinwaschen und lässt einen Blutdiamanten und Waffen sammeln, in dem man sich irgendwo reinkämpft, einen Haufen Gegner killt und sich wieder rauskämpft und dabei einen Haufen Gegner killt. Dann gibt es Yogi & Reaggie, zwei Kiffer die bei dir im Garten wohnen und dich immer mal wieder ziehn lassen, worauf du nackt und auf Drogen über die Map läufst, um diene Ausrüstung wieder zu erlangen, macht es verdammt viel Spaß. Das erste Mal, wenn man sie antrifft zählt nicht zu derer Reihe, das gehört zu Shangri La. Da gelangt man nach Shangri La und 5 Tanka Stücke zu beschaffen und kämpft gegen Dämonen, um Sangri La zu verteidigen, auch interessant aber nach dem Fluggedöns hatte ich darauf keinen Bock mehr (benutzt dafür unbedingt einen Controller! Fahren kann man auch mit Maus & Tastatur sehr gut aber mit den Controller ist auch das nochmal besser, wo wir gerade beim Controller sind, ihr braucht ihn, um mit LT ein Seil runterrutschen zu können, für die Tastatur gibt es KEINE Belegung dafür, ihr könnt nur das Seil lösen und dann seid ihr tod!) Es gibt auch noch das blaue H, das sind Hurk-Aufgaben und ist wohl DLC, kann man ganz normal wie L, Y und Shangri La während bzw. zwischen der Kampange gespielt werden, Hurk macht mit Yogi & Reaggie am meisten Spaß, der steckt immer in Schwierigkeiten und verpackt es so, als sei er erst fast in Schwierigkeiten bzw, könnte in welche hinein geraten und dann rettet ihr ihn oder er bittet euch was zu beschaffen, dann findet ihr es und ups, auf einmal sind da sehr viele Gegner, die das auch haben wollten, macht wirklich Spaß! Von diesen Charakter-Missionen gibt es übrigens immer 4, manchmal 5, wobei das erste Mal dann nur einen Kennenlernen mit ihnen ist.

    Natürlich gibt es auch wieder Sammelbares, Propagandaposter (150) die man, wenn man drankommt mit E abreißen oder wenn man nicht dran kommt mit einen Molotow abbrennen kann, Mani-Mühlen (30) die man drehen kann, dafür gibts auch Kharma, man kann da Level 8 erreichen, um eine bestimmte einzigartige Waffe zu bekommen (das sind die besten Waffen, die haben bestimmte Aufsätze wie einen Schalldämpfer etc.), Bücher (20) einsammeln oder Mörder Masken (80) einsammeln oder zerstören.

    Über das DLC Escape from Prison oder wie auch immer das heißt müssen wir nicht wirklich drüber reden, man startet auf einem Turm und hat 30 Minuten Zeit die Exfiltrationszone zu erreichen, wo man den Helikopter mit dem man dann entkommt 10 Minuten lang beschützen muss, mit Waffen, die man auf dem Weg zur Exfiltrationszone gesammelt hat, man kann diese erlangen, in dem man Außenposten einnimmt oder eine Aktivität macht, wie eine Attentats-Mission, dann wird einem auch etwas Zeit wieder gut geschrieben, man kann auch Poster von der Wand abreißen, welches einem z.b. eine Minute gibt.    … Expand

    As for the game itself: it's the same style of gameplay as Far Cry 3, only with more polished game systems and a more fully realised world... pretty much EXACTLY what I'd hoped it would be.

    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 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

    2014 continues to be the year of terribly optimised AAA PC games, especially from Ubisoft, and sadly Far Cry 4 is no different.

    I cannot honestly fault the game itself in terms of gameplay, story arch and what it's trying to do (except to point out the valid criticism that this should be called Far Cry 3.5, as there's little to no innovation over the previous title on show here.

But that's not necessarily a bad thing, as Far Cry 3 was excellent and if ain't broke, why fix it?)

    But you can get all that good stuff in the title, but if it has severe frame rate dips no matter what you do and has a default mouse and keyboard set up that is nigh on unplayable, alongside an FOV issue that actively encourages motion sickness, then you're gimping your game right off the bat.

    I really don't know what it is about Ubisoft and releasing games for PC that appear unfinished and untested, but it appears to be a trend that needs to be stopped. Ubisoft in particular have all the skill and ingredients necessary to make flawless, blockbuster titles with the raw materials the AC and Far Cry (and to a lesser extent, the potential in Watch_Dogs) franchises have, but they're shooting themselves in the foot time and time again.

    But enough of the negative, as they are technical faults that should have an easy fix - this is a very enjoyable title that is worth your money and time, which is more than can be said for Unity. If you have a back catalogue of games to play through, you can probably wait till this goes on sale as it's not a "must play immediately" kind of game in terms of multiplayer etc. but definitely add it to your FPS/Action purchase list.    … Expand

    Very good game. Big open world, I don't remember such big sandbox since first Crysis. But to be honest its the only thing that makes this game good. If only this world were smaller I wouldnt reccomend this game. Oh, and graphics. Yes, and graphics which is amazing. To summarize: if you like sandbox shooters you might enjoy it. If you need plot, general idea, some real villain, quests, youVery good game. Big open world, I don't remember such big sandbox since first Crysis.

    Anyone complaining about the FOV has pirated the game.
    The game runs smooth on PC, but optimization could've been done better. The PCSS is a bit broken after the latest update. Game controls work very well, never felt like Ajay did anything i didn't want him to.

    Co-op is less fun than expected. You aren't allowed to take on Campaign missions with a friend, which is a bit of a disappointment. The co-op mode is very limited. To few side quests and outputs.

    Overall, i'd rate this game 8-8.5. Story is a bit meh, but the side activities, open world and the game mechanics make up for it. It's just plain fun to play.

    well, here it is - my personal "most anticipated game of 2014" - and it is basically what I have expected somehow...

    yes, everything is EXACTLY THE SAME, apart from the graphics (which they really amped up this time around).

    you might stop reading here...

    do not misunderstand me, I find FC4 to be a truely well made game.
    it is fun to play, the story is superbly written and the characters, especially antagonist "King Min", are very well developed characters you will love to hate... though, I have to say that "Min" is no "Vas".
    I am not too far into the main-story, so I can only suspect that the main quest will turn out to be nice this time around again - BUT, make no mistake, FC4 has literally NO INNOVATION, NOT THE LEAST BIT OF "NEW", NO NEW MECHANICS OR WAYS OF PLAYING YOUR GAME...

    FC4 IS JUST "MORE OF THE SAME" - or as vendors in Thailand used to announce their cheap counterfeit things: "same same ... (but different)!" - I will gladly admit that I kinda MISS something, a tiny little bit of "new", something fresh and innovative.
    instead, Ubisoft wanted to play it absolutely safe -. and they could, for FC3 is an almost perfect open-world FPS.

    the whole concept did NOT have to be completely re-invented (as IS the case with the "Assassin's Creed" series), however, I am sure that most gamers (like myself) would have appreciated "something" fresh... not talking about some game-changing mechanics, but anything that we hadn't seen in FC before.

    but, we've basically got this "Far Cry 3" CLONE ... which isn't exactly a bad thing.

    FC3 I have rated 10/10
    FC4 I rate 8/10 - because it could have been "more" and Ubisoft simply didn't have the "cojones" to change the tiniest bit...

    from a technical viewpoint I have to remark, even with older GPU like mine (Radeon 5870) you can get this game to run with STABLE 30 FPS!
    (what I want to tell you is, the game runs on older hardware - IF you know how to "tweak" your settings - though, it absolutely should be enjoyed on a nicer graphics-card than my old piece) ;)
    but, given that the only "innovation" or even difference in FC4 is the extremely nice graphics, you most definitely should play this game on a good GPU, to at least enjoy the only thing "new" and "better" compared to FC3.

    comming to think of it... Ubisoft seems to HATE any "changes" to their franchises!
    that is the simple reason for why "Assassin's Creed Unity" is the "Same **** Different Game" crap it had been from the beginning.
    (oh how I wish for the consumers to "vote with their wallets" and finally stopping to buy the BORING BULL**** this AC franchise had become!)    … 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.

    The PC version of Far Cry 4 suffers of some optimization issues, but is still the best looking and performing one.

    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]
