    Far Cry? More like this game made me Cry Far away from the keyboard when all those big, burly mercenaries came a runnin' my way.

More like this game made me Cry Far away from the keyboard when all those big, burly mercenaries came a runnin' my way.
    Now that we've dispensed with the need to evaluate my fragile mental state, it's time to look over a game that probably caused half those neuroses. Far Cry is a stealth, FPS mix. I didn't play it when it came out and I never hear anybody talk about this first entry in the franchise, so any witty or knowledgeable statement about its release or culture would be a Far Cry from the truth. And yes, that pun will show up frequently during this review. But despite the praising reviews of this game, it doesn't ever come up in conversation. Especially when compared to its successors. Far Cry 2 is the cult classic, 3 is the one that put the series into the mainstream, and 4 onwards just keep selling based on the success of 3. There's also Primal, but I think to this day that everyone still thinks that one was just an April Fools joke that hasn't been taken off of stores yet. Really letting that one linger, eh Ubisoft?
    I f$*king love the environments in this game!
    I've said it before and I'll say it again; open spaces with oversaturated colours and some real ambience are Gucci on crack. These tropical islands are my dream home. I could even put up with the rampaging monkey demons for a piece of real estate in Far Cry. And this extends into the actual foundations of the gameplay too.
    One of the major selling points of this game is its open, linear design. You traverse individual levels completing objectives from point A - B in a normal linear fashion, however any of the outdoors levels are wildly expansive. You can travel to islands with nothing on them, or follow beaches round to flank enemy camps, or just piss off and swim with some tropical fish. Evil scientists and rampaging monkey demons will probably just fix themselves anyway. That's probably just the way with scientists obsessed with chest day, and bloody bonobos. They have a complicated relationship. But weaving together beautiful world design and liberty in gameplay in this way is just a 1000 yeses in my book. And I wrote a book that simply said yes 1001 times. Best seller too!
    I also love the action set pieces in this game. A fight on a sinking boat, hang gliding over enemy camps, the world's worst turret section, and more can turn a generic shooter into an exciting, interactive action film. Other shooters need to learn this. Gameplay is vital, but context can make that gameplay feel way more investing and fun.
    It is with great sorrow, however, that I must now state that this is where the pros of this game end. Ain't got much of a narrative. It's only orders from other characters followed by a snarky remark by your character. An action movie through and through. Although that was hard to tell since there are no subtitles option in this game, and voices are part of the sound effects volume slider. It's bad enough that the guns are realistically loud so the slider needs to be turned way down to avoid giving yourself instant tinnitus-flavoured ramen. But the voices are already quiet at the top of the slider. Your companions prefer to vaguely and sexily whisper commands in your ear rather than just tell you what's going on. I'm into it, but I'm also very confused. I'm also confused about they just said as well...
    In an attempt to be make their stealth FPS a little more realistic they kinda f&%ked it up, and also forgot to put fun in the game. Yes, it is genuinely interesting that enemies have realistic vision and can spot you sneaking up on them in their peripheral unlike other stealth games. Unfortunately, after that point the game just breaks. Get spotted and all enemies on the map will be alerted. And they have aim tracking too so there's not much use in trying to hide again because I witnessed these people actually f&@king watching me through mountains. Yet a small bush will often confuse and scare a mercenary practically standing on top of you. At least this mercenary army isn't ableist. They take anyone with 20-20 vision, the completely blind AND the omniscient. So proud of these boys trying to murder me right now.
    Gunplay feels pretty bad too. To increase difficulty, they go with the tried and complete horsesh*t method of just bringing in new enemies that are increasingly health spongy. The last few levels also have a reliance on rocket launcher spamming. Yay, I hate both those methods. Those methods really date this game, huh. Remember when games thought rocket spam was legit? Gunplay just feels wrong too. Yes, it's tactical that your accuracy goes up as you crouch and prone. But damn is it no fun in the sections where you do have to keep moving and Jack seems to be holding his gun f&!king sideways! This area is where the game needs the most improvement.
    So besides enemies shooting me from beyond the max render distance, the game was on its way to greatness.
    I actually went Far without Crying out a pun.

    I remember this game blew my mind when I young. One of my fondest memories was when I first experienced Far Cry on a PC gamer demo disk and borrowed it from my mate straight after. Give it a try if you want to see where Far Cry began.

    A stunning graphics presentation, Far Cry tries to hide its fairly average gameplay and laughable storyline behind some admittedly impressive visuals.

    In order to play the game without the AI super soldiers, you need the unofficial patchs or somehow downgrade to patch 1.3

    Now, I remember playing this back in 2004 and thought it was originally a good game, because back then- Far Cry WAS a good game, but the standards have risen considerably over the years and this game shows cleary how low gamers standards was back then.

    Far Cry suffers from a huge amount of general issues which makes the game generally much harder than it really needs to be, such as troop placement being so specific to catch the player out, each mission as such is more about remembering where enemy mercs are; rather than planning a strategic attack- think of MOH; Sniper Alley style gameplay here, its frustrating and needless.

    Then to add further insult to injury, you have to put up with Carver being a complete tool in the gun accuracy department, his accuracy with weapons is excruciating bad, whilst the mercs have near perfect accuracy, this is why there are liberally scattered health packs and armor around because its nearly impossible not to take hits. The accuracy is poor, imagine an artifical spray and pray - the gun cursor is just a 'basic' indicator where the bullets will go, not nessarily where you are pointing. The gun sights offer slightly better accuracy but still, not good enough considering the accuracy of the mercs and traps.

    Even with some much needed mods like FCam; the game is still a huge chore to play and saving after every encounter with mercs is essential- forget using stealth tactics...if you want working stealth, install Far Cry 2 and skip this.

    As for the difficulty, there is honestly very little difference between easy and realistic difficultly - thats how hard this game is; realistic mode is just mostly for masochists who enjoy dying alot, or who have played the game so much they have remembered the exact layout of the merc placements.    … Expand

Nevertheless, Crytek's debut game helped establish the fledgling studio back in 2004, making valuable contributions to the FPS genre alongside other FPS greats like Half-Life 2 and Halo 2, and setting up the formula for Crytek's follow-up spiritual successor, Crysis.

    What made Far Cry stand out 'back-in-the-day' was it's non-linear missions and hybrid gameplay of stealth and action. While it could be frustrating to play because you didn't know exactly where you were getting shot at from in the jungle, Far Cry's maps were fun to explore. On the flipside, Far Cry could be very boring and frustrating to play at times because of how imperfect or imbalanced it was - a trait which Crytek's next game, Crysis, shared. But on the whole, Far Cry is a great 'Golden Era' FPS game that is frequently overlooked and often underappreciated.

    So now every time you play a modern Far Cry game, just remember to remind yourself that Ubisoft has A LOT to thank Crytek for.    … Expand

    It is true. I don't have satisfaction, when i played. I dissapointed. Me unpleasantly play, when me killing anybody enemy, when i ever and ever dead on middle difficulties, when bullets enemies give me so many damage. And why so few medicine and armor? WHY my bullets flying in side, but not in my aim. So big spread, so. ENEMIES. Why they random detect me, i try passed level is steals, but, - "I think i something saw there...", - and begin shooting. Nice. Although sometimes steals working. SOMETIMES.
    Okey, what are you say about story? Story is **** but if gameplay was is good, i don't said that it is bad. Since gameplay is bad, for this reason and story show itself not good light. Throw one more rock in reputation game.
    That's all. I said everything that want said.
    I don't passed this game, because i sincerely couldn't that. Kinda, i passed more half game(i played with girl, which searching our hero). I don't recommended play in this game at +2020. In world have a lot of beautiful games, which you can playing. With interest story and gameplay.
    P.S. And don't need consider me casual **** boy, i passed Doom(2016) on hard difficulties, I got satisfaction from game and love there dead and searching path for wining. I love hard, but don't love foolish hard.

    Story: the story is LAUGHABLY bad , feels like a bad spy movie from the 80s ( and i actually loved it ) the bad guys are clearly bad , the hero reluctant , the woman sexy and "bad ass" at least she would be if he Ai when she follows you was better, And of course the guy behind the computer telling you where to go. its no wonder there was a movie made of this game , and even less of a wonder that the movie is even worst . that being said its awful story is occasionally funny and can be mostly ignored.
    Story: 4/10

    World building: i think this games world is actually not bad despite its story , levels are designed really well, locations are beautiful. little touches like the mercs having nudie mags in their quarters. witch is a small detail that makes them feel like real people even if they are still just nameless henchmen. also there is alot of hang gliders so do they do sight seeing in their down time ?. there is enough enemy variety to show that the people do have different jobs even if they will all shoot at you.
    world building: 6.5/10

    Graphics: the graphics are a little dated but not so dated that it makes you want to play the game. this is due to cryteks skill as graphical designers even if their later game (crysis) has aged better. like i said locations are beautiful. guns look modern and on the back drop of a tropical island makes it feel a little sci fi , the game has a decent visual style even if it isnt super fitting to the setting.
    graphics: 8/10

    game play: the guns in this game feel great and are fun to use , the ragdoll physics have great player input to them and that makes the combat feel more satisfying. The driving also had some pretty good physics to it witch surprised me for a game that was released in 2004 . my gripes with the game are that it has a huge difficulty spike about half way through , when the targens show up ( these creatures that are basically mutants) the basic ones that run at you arnt a problem usually because they go down easy and usually have a lot of time to shoot them, and the ones that jump around might be a little hard to see some times but are no harder than the mercs . the worst ones are the invisible ones witch you need the heat seeking goggles for and the big bullet sponges with automatic rocket launchers witch arnt to hard if they come at you one at a time but there is multiple parts where you have to fight multiple and that is hair pullingly frustrating and those parts stealth is not an option. stealth is also pretty redundant through out the whole game even with the f cam mod.
    I luckily had quick saves because of the aforementioned F cam mod and i really dont think i could have beat the game with out it . i played the game on normal difficulty and i like to think im pretty decent at shooters and i still found that hard i cant imagine what its like on harder difficulty's. That being said i had fun i liked the challenge i wanted to Finnish this game
    gameplay: 7.3/10

    Sound design: music was really good BUT it was back wards The menu music was the best and combat tracks sounded forgettable if they just switched the 2 it would have been fine. voice acting was laughably bad at worst and at best awkward , or at worst awkward and at best laughably bad depending on the scale . and the laughably bad voice acting lends it self well to the laughably bad story so it works to some degree. The sound effects of the guns and explosions and basically all the game play sounds them self are really well done, guns are punchy and that's what you want.
    sound design: 6/10

    4+6.5+8+7.3+6=31.8
    31.8 /5 = 6.36/10
    this game definitely shows its age , especially with its out dated story and game mechanics but graphically its ahead of its time . some may think that a 6/10 is bad but i think even 6/10s are still worth a play and this game was a good start to the franchise as well as for crytek.    … Expand
