    Awesome game even better than Uncharted 3 which also is quite good action FPS type game. I like the ability to explore a massive island, drive jeeps and fly hang gliders, hunt, craft items and good action. Only frustrating things are hunting is super difficult and some weapons suck like the bow and the shooting action is difficult. The graphics and animation is beautiful and very realistic.

But some of the things that have been added new to this version is weapons (including a bow), side quests, mini games, crafting and animals that you can hunt. Hunting animals is a way to upgrade your weapons and items by crafting the skins of the animals you hunted. The crafting elements works well and is very easy to understand and use (you can also craft from plants for healing and combat purposes). For me the biggest negative for Far Cry 3 is that I didn't fall in love with the single player main characters. But not all characters in game are dull. Some of the NPC characters were interesting. While the multiplayer is very basic and doesn't do anything different than the previous COD does. It does entertain you for awhile but I recommend sticking with single player first. Graphics and sounds are beautiful. Far Cry 3 water elements are one of the best I've seen up to now in any game. Another favorite thing for me was taking over enemy camps by either sneaking in with your stealth like abilities or guns blazing. Other interesting elements to note are, RPG like level ups for your main character and customize weapons. Much more can be said about Far Cry 3 but I will leave that up to you to discover for yourself. If you liked Far Cry 2 than you will enjoy Far Cry 3 even more!… Expand

    I can't even begin to describe how great this game is. Open world to explore, good selection of weapons, animals to hunt, stealth gameplay that works amazingly, and a wingsuit. The plot is decent, nothing to write home about. The gameplay is really fun and fluid. The visuals are some of the best on consoles. The multiplayer is fantastic as well.

    I simply hated FC2 and needless to say that i was sceptic about this one. But the main reasons i hated FC2 were solved in this installation. The endless driving and respawning guard points. Instead FC3 has hostile guard posts that after freed become safe havens and fast travel spots. Brilliant.

It puts a smile on your face. But then again the rest is awesome and Vaas steals the game in terms of character. Great villain, scary and unstable.… Expand

I wouldn't call it linear by any means, It is "open world" but not so open that it is intimidating, the game despite having options made available to veer from the main quest are not so overwhelming that you feel you will never complete them. Farcry 3 allows you to choose just how long you want to spend exploring the island, some days I just dedicated them to removing all those diamonds off my map or making all the red go away! The menu also has this very handy log that lets you know just how much of what you have left before collecting rewards, something that I was very grateful for. The controls aren't wonky or awkward, I personally did not experience any lag or long load times. The visual setting is beautiful and the combat is typical but not in a boring way. It's not a complicated game but it will def keep you engaged in it for periods much longer than you would expect. In it simplicity lies it's genius. It gives you the feel of your own island where you do whatever the hell you feel like doing but not so much that you get distracted from the plot. I thought it was absolutely fantastic, simple, functional, and just generally fun. I have and will continue to recommend this game to my friends. I give it a 10 because I don't feel there is anything to improve on. Game on!… Expand

However, beating out all of those features are the villains, Vaas and Hoyt. They are two of the best villains I have seen in a long time.

All of those are rewarding and fun, there is no sense of having to grid through something just to get to the fun parts of the game, because it's all good.

    The competitive multiplayer, whist not the best is still worth a few hours playing around with. It has some nice features that aren't found in any other games of the genre, but other than that it's rather generic FPS multiplayer that can't compete with the big titles but easily trumps the rest.

    The only negative I have to say about this game is it's Co-op, the idea was there but the time and effort seems not to have been. It's filled with glitches and has a repetitive collections of missions and is easily miss-able. If you feel you need to sit through it to get the trophies (Like I have done) then you will loose a little love for the game, but it's still sits as a solid 10/10 and is 1 of only 3 games that I think earns that.    … Expand

The lighting was good with the trees and grass looking great for such a big game.
    Gameplay wise the bow and arrow was so fun to use in this game. Stealth was my best friend in this game and for some reason I always felt like Rambo when taking on an outpost. Guns felt shaky at times though, where I thought the gameplay took a small hit. The free roam aspect of the game was great in this game just like Far Cry 2. It felt as if they did it better in this game with it being an island though.
    I loved the story in my opinion even though at times I did find myself saying, "Well that was too easy," or "Really, that's all?" Even with that I liked that I actually felt something for the main character's friends and even if the game would let me roam, I didn't want to because in my head there was a time clock for their lives. The main character and villains in this game were written well I think, but the supporting characters...not so much. You will know what I mean at times in the game.

    I would completely recommend buying this game. It's fun and has a great story but if you're looking for great multiplayer I wouldn't play it here.

    Great! 8.5/10

    Far Cry 3 or 4 ? I give 8 to FC3 and 9 to FC4.
    Good graphic, very good story better than FC4. Some news elements for FC4 wich make the game easier and less frustrating (like gyroptère, graplle hook and possibility to re-capture forts.) If you liked FC4 you'll appreciated FC3 and the acting of Vas a very good psychotic bad guy.

The open world is fantastic and fun. I really like this game, though I think the story is decent but some of the characters are good and easy to relate to. Vaas is a fantastic villain. His voice acting is incredible and his writing is some of the best I've ever seen. While the quick time event boss fights were a bit lame, I didn't find them too bad. Also, there's two things I find disappointing about this game. His name is Hoyt Volker. Hoyt replaced Vaas as the main villain halfway through the game and everything just becomes less exciting. The ending, as well, isn't that great. However, I would definitely recommend this game. It's stunning.… Expand

    Multiplayer is split in two parts. There is the (online) coöp multiplayer which also presents a (shallow) story which lets you go through a new campaign with four players. Quite enjoyable overall and good difficulty rating.

Sonido: El dobaje al español es simplemente excelente, de lo mejor que he visto hoy en dia, como habla Vaast, Hoyt o Jason...simplemente genial, el ambiente sonoro de la Isla te hace parecer aue estas en una de verdad, simplemente genial.

Conclusión: El mejor juego del año de largo para mi es Far Cry 3, aunque aun me queda por probar Assassins Creed 3, pero dificil tiene que supere esta obra maestra.

I expected this game to be pretty much the same as Far Cry 4 in terms of gameplay and open world since Far Cry 4 has been criticized quite a lot with being a total 'Far Cry 3 copy' in terms of gameplay. However, Far Cry 3 blew me away. Sure, a lot of things were indeed exactly the same or even a bit worse (since it was an earlier installment in the series of course), but the gameplay just felt great again just like it did with Far Cry 4. Also, the open world big enough to have quite some fun exploring and roaming around. But the thing Far Cry 3 really outshined on was the story. Far Cry 4 really disappointed me with the story but Far Cry 3 did (almost) everything right. The story was fun, exciting and really worth to play through. However, some aspects of the story were pretty vague and never really explained. I also felt they could have ended the game a bit better than they ultimately did but it was still pretty good.
    But then, on my way to the platinum, there was the ultimate fun destroyer: the co-op missions. Not because I don't like co-op in general, but because Far Cry 3's co-op is one of the worst I've ever had to play through. The co-op mission were boring, and when playing online, two of the six mission-trophies glitched on me. When I played them online again up to three times, they kept glitching -_- . Finally I found someone who was willing to play those two mission offline with me which finally granted me the platinum trophy.
    If not for the horrible co-op missions, I would have given Far Cry 3 a 9 for enjoyment. If you still have/want to play Far Cry 3 but don't intend to go for the platinum trophy, please skip the co-op missions :P.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Go and get this game right now, I beg you! It's an amazing game, without a doubt. If you've enjoyed Far Cry 4 or Primal, then this is definitely worth your time. If you're a newcomer to the series, then this is also a great starting point. In this game you play as Jason Brody on vacation at a island with his best friends and two brothers. Pretty great, right? Wrong. This game turns dark fast, as you realize that Jason and his friends have been captured by pirates, and their leader, Vaas, who is a psychopath. You're one brother, who has had military training, then breaks free of his restraints and helps Jason out of his. They then sneak around the pirate camp to try to set their friends free, but that comes to a close as Jason and his brother get spotted. As they're trying to run, Jason's brother gets shot and dies, leaving Jason on his own to survive. Pretty awesome exposition. At the very beginning, Jason is a civilian, a victim of these pirates, but by the end, he is transformed into a ruthless killer who starts to even question himself. And that's what I love of this game, the sense of morality. In Far Cry 4, you just go to Kyrat and start killing people. The main character, Ajay, never questions himself and thinks about who he's killed. But Jason does, and that's what makes this game perfect. By the end, he even goes as far as calling himself a monster. But, with that aside, the game mechanics are also great. The shooting is better as ever, the hunting is good (though not as good as Far Cry Primal's hunting), and the missions are refreshing. As the game goes on, Jason is tasked with trying to save his friends and take down the pirate leader, Vaas, and later Vaas' boss. And the graphics are BEAUTIFUL! They really are. The tropical island setting is very well portrayed through these graphics. Then, there are also two other modes in this game: co-op and multiplayer. In co-op, you can play with up to 4 people as 4 brand new characters who don't appear in the campaign at all, which is a great addition, because you learn a new story. The co-op is very fun to do, especially with friends, because you can have a lot of fun. And the multiplayer is surprisingly good, especially for a game series that has never had a competitive multiplayer mode. It's very fun and refreshing when most competitive multiplayer games these days are just Call of Duty re-skins. This game is worth every penny that they're asking you for it right now, and I can say that you should go buy this game, whether you're a veteran to the series or a newcomer, get this game!… Expand

The weapons selection is pretty good, though not overwhelming. The Desert Eagle model is by far one of the ugliest, it's up there on the ugly gun list together with the Desert Eagle from SoF Payback. Far Cry 2 did the Deagle way better than this. Weapon condition doesn't deteriorate after times, so it makes it more boring than it's predecessor.    … Expand

    Ubisoft bokunu çıkarmadan önce Far cry zevk veren bir oyundu. 3. oyun gerçekten güzel ana kötü Vaas oldukça iyiydi. En sevmediğim yönü boss savaşlarıydı.

    Pros:
    . FC 3 has easily the best protagonist, antagonist, and story in the series, which I know for this series isn't saying much, but the mental and psychological journey that Jason Brody embarks on, transforming him from a clueless nobody to a merciless killer, the way it affects the people around him (as well as his overall chemistry with said characters), not to mention his clashes    Pros:
    . FC 3 has easily the best protagonist, antagonist, and story in the series, which I know for this series isn't saying much, but the mental and psychological journey that Jason Brody embarks on, transforming him from a clueless nobody to a merciless killer, the way it affects the people around him (as well as his overall chemistry with said characters), not to mention his clashes with the charismatic psychopath Vaas is second-to-none compared to the rest of the franchise.
    . A plethora of new ways to take down your enemies, from multi-takedowns, takedowns from above or below, to the introduction of bows, C4, proximity mines, as well as enhanced weapon customisation allows for almost endless mayhem as you feel like a complete badass, tearing through the opposition. The addition of having to hunt or be hunted by a plethora of dangerous wildlife only adds to the chaos and survival.
    . The addition of fast travelling and autosaving makes the game FAR less tedious than FC 2 and is much-welcomed.
    . From hunting the aforementioned animals for skins to upgrade your character, to liberating outposts, to helping out locals with their problems, there is always something to do and there is never a dull moment.
    . The world is still gorgeous 9 years later, and the lore and mystery created by this game makes the Rook Islands one of the series' most interesting maps to explore.

    Cons:
    . Whilst I sing praises about Vaas, his character is very underutilised and killed off in very pathetic fashion before you even reach the last 1/4 of the game, leading to a hunt for the actual villain which feels heavily rushed and not very forfilling due to the high focus on Vaas.
    . The game has a tenancy to swarm you with enemies in certain missions, either in large environments with little cover, or small environments where the terrain can work against you, which is very annoying at times.
    . This version of the game does suffer from framerate issues and small texture issues.

    . Story - 7. 5/10
    . Characters - 7. 5/10
    . Gameplay - 8/10
    . Presentation - 8.5/10

    . Combined Score - 31.5/40
    . Final Score - 8/10    … Expand

    In Far Cry 3 you play as Jason Brody (a normal character with no military experience) as he tries so set his friends free after they were captured by pirates, who are lead by an iconic antagonist called Vaas.

    At first they were all captured while they were skydiving near the Rook Island, but Jason's older brother helped him escape the outpost before the camp was alerted, unfortunately his brother didn't make it. This was the start of Jason's journey to release all his friends and to avenge older brother's death.
    While being on this journey, there is a group of natives of the island who are willing to help you, if you help them liberate the island by taking control over outposts all over the island. Apart from that, there are multiple activities and side quest which you can access after liberating a part of the island. Well, most of them becomes repetitive after some time and you lose interest completing them, but they give you some extra few hours of gameplay.
    Jason will not only learn how to be a warrior, but also how to survive the jungle. By gathering certain plants, you will be able to craft syringes which will amplify you skills, and by hunting and gathering animal skins, you will be able to upgrade yourself so that you can carry more loot, ammo, syringes, etc.
    Following the main storyline after some time you will gain ability to learn more skills, which are represented on a Tatau, which will complete itself after learning all skills. The main story is great, and on my opinion, it can be separated in two parts, every part of the story on a separate island. The first one where you will set you friends free and where you will kill Vaas, and the second one where you will hunt down Hoyt to help Citra avenge his brother Vaas for turning him into a madman.
    Well, apart the great memorable story, there is also a character who stand out above all, and that is Vaas, of course, the crazy maniac who starts talking like a reasonable person and ends the talk by yelling at you and killing someone. He shows only in few cutscenes, but his impact as a character stands out.
    The Rook Island are vast and beautiful, the graphics is amazing, even today. Great amount of weapons, skills, upgrades and activities. The only thing that really shown how old this game is was the barely holding the 30 fps cap while driving and the bottom of the screen tearing while running.

    All in all, for open-world fans this is a must play, within this game you get not only a beautiful world to explore full of mysteries to reveal, but also a great story full of iconic characters.

    Have I ever told you an example of insanity? Well, this game is.    … Expand

    Classic Far Cry. But he's better than all of them. Vaas is an excellent character. The story of your fall on the island makes sense. The last Far Cry, the value of the main character. The island theme is great. If you did not play, you would be very shameful.

    This game was the best game on the ps3 EVER!!

    The story was fantastic and had me immersed The characters were well made and we’re well written

    The world was beautifully made and felt like it was endless.

    The only part I have an issue with is the audio ,but then again this game was made in 2012 so I’ll excuse it.

    Over this game is a 10/10

    Um jogo incrível, com visuais e jogabilidade impressionantes. O sistema de combate permite que você jogue o jogo do seu jeito, A história pode ser forte, mas é facilmente esquecida quando há tanto para fazer e explorar, os gráficos são muito bonitos, tem uma grande variedade de armas e ótima trilha sonora

    With Far Cry 3, players step into the shoes of Jason Brody, a man alone at the edge of the world, stranded on a mysterious tropical island. In this savage paradise where lawlessness and violence are the only sure thing, players dictate how the story unfolds, from the battles they choose to fight to the allies or enemies they make along the way.

    estou aqui em 2022, eu zerei esse jogo incrivel, impossivel dizer algo que eu odiei no jogo só se for a demora pra curar ou o baixo fps porém o baixo fps poucas vezes me atrapalhou, uma pena que a ubisoft não faz jogos tão bons assim

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. (SPOILERs) PERO QUE JUEGAZO no le pongo un 10 solamente porque para ser un juego de 2012 tiene las animaciones de las personas medio que hecho asi nomas (no se le puede bajar mucho por eso porque incluso juegos del 2020 tienen animaciones igual de simples). al de ubisoft que se le haya ocurrido hacer el personaje de vaas montenegro es un GENIO no tiene sentido lo buen personaje que es y re que aparece como mucho 20 minutos en pantalla. el actor de voz de jason otro genio, solamente con su trabajo de voz hizo un personajazo. es increíble como el juego te va lavando la cabeza al mismo tiempo que jason y como empezas medio alejado de la violencia a disfrutar matando cientos si no miles de personas, torturando a tu propio hermano menor. la escena en la que matas a hoyt y jason entra en un transe y cuando vuelve esta absolutamente toda la habitación llena de sangre y cadáveres ?? top 10 momentos del la historia del gaming que queres que te diga… Expand

    I have such great memories about this game. All I can say is that after Vaas, it is kind of stale, which for me does not make it a masterpiece. Still an amazing game though.

    The whole story is pretty intense but the problem is it got a little bit too short for me. You can purchase gun and modify it if your wallet isn't too thin, You can earn money by hunting, racing, minigame reward although it's repeatedly and boring after doing everytime. The soundtrack is personality respective, the car radio is relaxing and the mission soundtrack is high as fxxk.

    REAL SCORE 9.4. A game from 2012 that feels like a nowadays game. The first open world game that I played and one of the best ones. Truly the best of the saga with amazing graphics, combat system, reovolutionary world and mechanics.

    Astonishing game.

    Despite being hampered by a well meaning, but ultimately interfering, plot, Far Cry 3 has evolved into a decadent, playful and exciting title. Be it quality programming, dumb luck or a mixture of them both, the game plunges you into a thick, gloopy world of sugary gameplay, shimmering visuals, intoxicating audio as well as a great deal more. It's long, stupid and buckets of fun - just what you need to burn away the winter blues.

    Far Cry 3 is a terrific and is one of the best games I've played in a long time. Far Cry 3's main draw is the deep and engaging campaign, but the multiplayer modes are also serviceable enough to keep you playing for a long time.
