    I love this game! Far cry 3 was one of my favorite games but then Far cry 4 comes out! I would recommend this game to anyone. I like the fact that you can attack fortresses and eventually stop enemies from retaking outposts.

    Briefly, UBISOFT always delivers i'm playing it on PS3 and honestly it's an awesome product, and this proves that PS3 is still a performant consol unlike what they said about it in the Shadow of mordor Review that PS3 is weak for next Gen games, i always say PRO IS PRO and UBISOFT is a PRO company indeed.

    All these negative reviews are a mystery to me. I found Far Cry 4 to be a big step up from its predecessor.
    It uses all the good mechanics from Far Cry 3 and adds in more weapons, side quests, odd jobs and much more. The setting of Kyrat, is the best Far Cry landscape to me, locations are interesting, and getting around is a lot more fun as you can use a grapple to scale walls and    All these negative reviews are a mystery to me.

The setting of Kyrat, is the best Far Cry landscape to me, locations are interesting, and getting around is a lot more fun as you can use a grapple to scale walls and mountains, different types of vehicles are available including the Buzzer (a basic gyrocopter). The main villain, Pagan Min, is awesome, calm and collective with ruthless ideals that he is not afraid to carry out. Not quite Vaas, but definitely my preferred antagonist. This is basically Far Cry 3 but everything is done better.
    Overall a great game with a very interesting storyline that some may find better or worse than Far Cry 3.
    Didn't experience any frame rate issues although the odd lag pops in rarely but understandable due to the immense scale of the map.

    Gameplay: 9/10, could have been more side missions (plenty of activities but too repetitive).
    Graphics: 8/10, graphics are on par if not a little better than Far Cry 3, very good for current gen.
    Storyline: 8.5/10, great storyline that most will love, but some will shunt when comparing to Far Cry 3.
    For PS3 this is an amazing game that everyone must give a go at some point regardless if you've played any others.    … Expand

    One of my favorite franchise. It is easy to play, even for non professionnal gamers. The story was much more intense in the 3rd opus but the India setting is really great. The solo campaign is well balanced. And the animals are bringing something fun !

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished playing Farcry 4 and I can't understand why it reviewed so high. I gave it 4/10 because: the environment was beautiful and player friendly, minimizing falls and no lag. Indeed Bethseda can learn a great deal from that. Also, the Buzzers were cool getting me to far off places in little time, but i hated that they would disappear when I went exploring nearby. There were too many unnecessary animal attacks and karma event skirmishes. The Tiger perks were awful and the vehicles handled poorly. Why do I ahve to liberate so many bell towers and outposts to get good weapons. The treasure chests and inflated sale price of items broke immersion and made the game feel arcade like.I wanted to see fully customizable weapons, a better civil war storyline with more emphasis on storytelling between Badra, Ajay, Sabal and Amita. I hated the ending where some idiot developer tried to seem cleaver and do a 'mind **** plot twist with Mohan Gale, Ishwari Gale and Pagan Min. I find it impossible to believe that Ishwari the co-founder of the Golden Path and former Tarun Matara would betray her ideals and fall in love with a bloodthirsty, drug dealer like Pagan Min and have a love child. What's the message there Ubisoft? Evil prevails against good , or drug dealers are cool, or how about the one I got. Eject the disc and forget about the game and don't EVER buy another Farcry game. Farcry has always been **** with story telling, they could learn a lot from Fallout: New Vegas. How about handcrafted dungeons like Skyrim, or Skyrim's excellent HUD for open world exploration. How about a civil war storyline where you can side with Amita or Sabal or Badra or do things to further Ajay's interests. How about a much better explanation for the Mohan Gale/Ishwari Gale/Pagan Min situation. How about an altitude perk for the buzzers and rocket mods. How about a better reward for defeating the Rakshasa in Shangri La than a few XP points and an item storage system. I wanted a path where Ajay would become King of Kyrat and how about some payback for that **** Willis. Come on Ubisoft we the gamer who bought your product feel cheated by your half assed RPG and demand an update to fix it.… Expand

    Performs well on PS3. The glitches are fun at worst.

    If you're not familiar with Far Cry 3, it can be described as a shooter game about taking over territories. Those territories can be forts, villages, radio towers and so on. The radio towers are slightly puzzle influenced, but it's nothing mindbending. The campaign is relatively varied, with stealth and epic action and some surprises.    Performs well on PS3.

    Online multiplayer works well too, and I easily found a coop buddy with a microphone so we could take some forts together. Overall, coop was a good time, and the campaign was as epic as you'd expect from an AAA game.

    The open-world map did not seem too well laid out. Travel time felt like a chore much of the time, side activities were spread out pretty thin on the huge map, and the radio was not as entertaining as the one in the GTA series. If you are out of other options, and you have a thing for open-world action, Far Cry 4 would appeal quite a lot. Just don't expect something new.

    Extra point awarded for a cross-gen title that works well on PS3 so late in the console's lifespan.    … Expand

    Far Cry 3 or 4 ? I give 8 to FC3 and 9 to FC4.
    Good graphic, not so bad story and some news elements. 1. Choice: you have to choose the mission of one of your allies, and when mission is done you must account to the other. 2. Himalaya : some missions are in hight altitude. 3. Gyroptère : very cool to reach not-so-easy-treasure now. 4. Graplle hook : somme moutains have this facility. 5.    Far Cry 3 or 4 ?

    Far Cry 4 is a good game. It has a few annoying features and the occasional bug, but the gunplay is solid and the characters are interesting. I don't think it's as good as Far Cry 3, but that could just be me.

I wish I could erase my memory of playing this game and keep having the same reactions I did when I first played it a few times. Hope Primal is just as good, if not better.

    The only major differences this time around are obviously the story and the surrounding environments. In comparison, I feel AJs story wasn't as compelling simply because of the morality choices you have to make in the game. (Which, mind you, doesnt really change all that much)

    A good part of the story was going against all of Pagin's Lieutenants. Some of those experiences were pretty cool and really built me up to the point I'd face Pagin Min himself. Sadly, the endgame experience with him is very short. (But satisfying, nonetheless!)

    FC4 doesn't have the same bang as its predecessor, just a lesser experience in contrast to the jungle paradise of Far Cry 3.    … Expand

    I played Far Cry 3 for just 5 hours it's not because i didn't like the game but i didn't have time then. According to me Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4 are almost the same game it's a really fun game with lots of guns, vehicles, animals and crafting. It's good for me but it may be boring to some people.

    The first starting point of an endless abyss. This abyss is the gap where all Far Cry is starting to be the same. The mechanics are the same as in Far Cry 3. The story is really similar, but I think it's worse. But when it comes to the places. Offffffffff. Excellent. In short, Far Cry 3 Asia Dlc.
