    Far cry 3 is a very good game. Far cry 4 is far cry 3 with updated mechanics. Only an idiot tell that far cry 4 is a copy of far cry 3. If you have ps3, ps4, Xbox 360, xone or a good pc, then buy this game.

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

    Far Cry 4 is the fourth major installment in the well known and well established FPS series. The game sticks to the tried Far Cry formula being set in an exotic place, this time in the Himalayas.

As does everything in this game, the graphics is very nice. The game font is also very likeable. The music does not stand out, but it is decent enough. As for the story, it felt like there was not much of it. But it was not bad, if somewhat predictable. The alternative / secret ending is a nice touch. The combat is not very diverse, despite the big number of available weapons, some of which are seriously overpowered. The game sadly suffers from a number of seemingly insignificant bugs (getting stuck), but it can get really annoying. 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.

    All in all, I expected to have more fun. Final verdict: 64 %    … Expand

    Another Far Cry game that captures most of what I want in a video game.

    What I enjoyed: * The rich, well-written story, and many memorable characters. The story is one of my favorites in any game. * Voice acting. Really great all around, and I enjoyed it as much or more than voice acting in any other game I've ever played. * Combat * Platforming * Vehicles * Weapons * Stealth and    Another Far Cry game that captures most of what I want in a video game.

    What I enjoyed:
    * The rich, well-written story, and many memorable characters. The story is one of my favorites in any game.
    * Voice acting. Really great all around, and I enjoyed it as much or more than voice acting in any other game I've ever played.
    * Combat
    * Platforming
    * Vehicles
    * Weapons
    * Stealth and takedowns
    * Many ways to capture outposts
    * Sniping
    * Many missions find a satisfying balance between appropriate difficulty and urgency
    * Pagan Min, Ravi Ray Rana, and Reggie & Yogi had me laughing throughout the game. Pagan Min's TV broadcast, in particular, had me howling.
    * This can also be annoying (I also listed it as something I don't enjoy) but the complete and utter chaos that can just randomly occur literally ANYWHERE in Kyrat can also be highly entertaining. You might encounter a bear fight, eagle attack, gunboat, several enemy patrols, and a Karma event all at once. You can see how this might become annoying after a while when you're just trying to move around the map, but it can also be completely hilarious.

    What I didn't enjoy:
    * The amount of time it takes to load or reload your game. This can be almost unbearable if you need to redo an area several times.
    * Too many random encounters. This is mostly remedied by getting the 87 shotgun early in the game, and by vehicles and fast travel, but it can still be annoying if you need to run somewhere. I recall one spot where the entire area was just littered with dozens of animal and guard bodies, it looked like a post-apocalypse and all I was trying to do was run from point A to point B.
    * Accidentally swapping guns when I want to loot a body. When you kill an enemy, they drop their gun. You then have the option to HOLD (E) pick up their gun, which drops your current one, or also (E) loot the body. I did this so many times. Why hold E? Why not just tap it and get a loot screen with the gun and body loot all together in one place like a normal game? It's just such a weird design decision to mess up since so many games have done it right in the past.
    * In general, I did not like the Shangri La levels. I like the look and idea of Sangri La, but they are poorly executed. All your weapons are swapped out for a basic Shangri La bow which isn't all that fun to use. They also have some gimmick you have to figure out like "perform a takedown on this guy 3 times," only it doesn't tell you to do it 3 times, it only tells you once, so I was sitting there shooting him over and over with the bow for no reason. The core combat is so fun and satisfying, it's just a total letdown to swap out all your favorite guns for some basic bow and do clunky, gimmicky combat instead. I would just skip the atrocious Superman 64 flying level altogether.
    * A few special events irritated me like Jalendu Temple where I kill all guards and destroyed all 4 alarms without being detected and reinforcements were still called in. Who exactly called them in, and how? Everyone was dead, and all the alarms were disabled.
    * They didn't let us have Kyrat Fashion Week? SERIOUSLY? I was looking forward to that almost as much as ridding Kyrat of Pagan Min. BOO!

    Special:
    * Interface - There are a LOT of buttons in this game because there are so many things you can do. This can be frustrating at first, but it feels very good when you get used to everything. I also found it pretty easy to get lost on the keyboard at critical moments and hit the wrong key, but this was mostly remedied with practice. After getting used to all the keys, I really love the default layout.

    Overall:
    Far Cry 4 is a classic and a personal favorite of mine with a few slight blemishes I'm not willing to knock off a star for since the game is so amazing.    … 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.

Так же не обошлось без багов: порой не работает радио, либо пропадает GPS. Что касается сюжета, то он не особо увлекательный. Желания убивать главного антагониста нет, кроме того, он является единственным хоть сколько-то интересным персонажем в игре, остальные не вызывают особой симпатии или антипатии - они просто есть, ну и ладно. Я полностью прошел сюжетную кампанию, достиг прохождения на 90%, но проходить до сотни нет никакой мотивации, т.к. уже после середины игры можно найти мало чего интересного и нового, все уже приелось. В целом, если человек играл в far cry 3, вряд ли он найдет в этой игре много чего нового, но людям, которые только начинают знакомство с серией, она в принципе может понравится, тут все зависит от личных предпочтений каждого.… Expand

    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 - 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

    Good game overall but put in comparison with the 3rd installment it falls rather low. The good: Great graphics, superb setting, main storyline was enough to keep me going, rather good somewhat tactical AI. The BAD: Very repetitive, side quests rather uninteresting with pretty thin character layouts.

    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]
