    The first part of the game was great but the second part is rushed as hell, the ending comes out of nowhere and Hoyt is just a downgrade considering that we had Vaas before, even with that the hunting, towers and outpost are fun enough to get you distracted.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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 story is typical and cliche, with various mindless actions and decisions, typical missions to endure enemies or rare, with dreams and magic potions. Vaas is a pretty bad villain and hoyt a little better but still, friends are hateful, like all characters.

    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

    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.

    The story on the other hand is very good, though the way you kill the "bosses" is probably the sh*ttiest ways they could've done it, it's not exciting at all and very boring. I would've preferred an actual cutscene were you cut off Vaas hands and then decapitate him, rather than some weird ass interactive cutscene where you just have to press buttons at the right time, very disappointing. 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

    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.
