    Way too much like far cry 3, really weak story. I wished they had changed up some things but they play most of it too safe. Maybe next year far cry, ubisoft has been a disappointment so far

    К сожалению, я случайно закрыл 3500 символов отзыва и он не сохранился, а переписывать мне лень, поэтому только 2200 будет.
    Открытый мир душит постоянными (каждые 50-100 метров) нападениями зверей/людей/отца/сына/святого духа. Пустой в своей сути, но набитый дрочней со сбором безымянных "коллекционок". Особенно ПОРАДОВАЛА ПРЯМ ВОТ ОЧЕНЬ ЗДОРОВО СДЕЛАНА локация "грузовик пьяного канака" - восьмой год игре, тонны патчей, но маркер все еще под текстурами, класс, просто супер, юбисофт идите нахуй МОЛОДЦЫ гандоны. Ну и конечно же любимые вышки и аванпосты, которые теперь нужно еще и защищать от нападений каждый раз как ты уже убежал метров на 100. Сука ну почему всегда так? Почему сразу нельзя скрипт влючить, зачем вы меня заставляете постоянно возвращаться?
    Сюжет вторичен - изолированная экзотическая страна, приезжий главный герой, который решает все проблемы повстанцев. Сценарий не найден - гг - картонка в духе "да всех убью, да все взорву". Мотивация, если ее вообще придумали, не показана. После Джейсона в фк3, который был замотивирован по самые яйца местью за брата и спасением друзей из плена, а после еще и обоснованно примкнувшего к повстанцам, фк4 пробивает дно, и второе тоже, и третье следом. Никакого эмоционального отклика, никаких размышлений, никакого развития персонажа, так как это не персонаж. Сюжетные задания отличаются от второстепенных только тем, что выдаются не картой на столе, а озвученными именными, но такими же картонными и нехаризматичными, пустышками. Делать придется одно и то же на протяжении всей игры. Очень напоминает лутер-шутеры категории б, только вот без лута.
    Теперь о хорошем. Низкий поклон художникам, дизайнерам и моделерам, картинка очень привлекательная и радует глаз - куда ни плюнь, так везде красиво (именно их труд поднимает оценку с 0/10).
    Итог : Пустой открытый мир, который тратит время кучей боев и бессмысленных "коллекционок". Скучные основные задания. История с бумажки из урны общественного туалета и персонажи исполняющие роль брифинга. Гг - оболочка без наполнения, кукла, которая делает все, что скажут. И качественная картинка. В совокупности остается какой-то странный привкус во рту и губы обмазанные чем-то коричневым.

    Suck a let down.
    Game lands up into copy of previous title syndrome. I am maybe too harsh but for me personally the plot was almost not existing. I tried to be interested in it but simply failed as it from start to the end was only a device to pushing protagonist further. Many collectables that just didnt felt worth it. The world felt empty and kind of a... fake? I mean there was nothing

The world felt empty and kind of a... fake? I mean there was nothing that felt natural here for real and protagonist didnt had a chance to really interact with anything.
    You cans imply end the game with the basic setup of guns, as i went into halfway without changing, and after it didnt felt a difference at all. The Shangri-La missions maybe end weak, but are at least kind a original. Me myself didnt enjoy them, but i can see others finding those a solid element of the title.
    As FC3 the taking of posts and towers is satysfying... but it felt so easy that i halfway through didnt enjoy it anymore. But once again i can see someone enjoying it..

    To sum it up. I felt this game unispiring at all and aiming for easy money. Im giving it a 4/10.

Again the story is BORING and even at the end of the campaign it leaves you feeling like nothing really mattered. Throughout the game it gives you choices that really don’t impact the game very much and either choice you do is the right one and all that changes is audio clips during the missions. The driving and gun play were very good in the game. But it doesn't make up for the lack of story/characters

    A question then : who the hell are those "critics" whose are MEANT to have an objective opinion, if they give higher scores to addons meanwhile something new and innovative isually being criticised.

    Game's damn good, but it can't get higher that 4. And of course Ubi has no motivation to develop something new. WHY? Cuz those "critics" are fanboys. They're ready to eat one and the same thing from year to year.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very pretty wack-a-mole.

    To be clear this is Farcry 3 with a shiny skin. The reason I cant go any higher is due to cheap element used in programming this game. You take over a base no Army travels to come take it back ,,no, they pop up out of the dirt next to the camp and you go again, the bird just spawns out of the sky and attacks you, tiger just keeps spawning same spot over and over, IN FACT, everything that attack you just keeps popping out of the ground nearby and it obvious... Like a tower defense that wears you down.

    This make killing something seem useless since they just regenerate instantly. This is easy programming, make the game longer, but it makes the game suck, frustrating and cheap feeling.

    No new AI or animations, FARCRY 3 engine used here. Cheap gimmicks are what UBISOFT is now.

    It's a very pretty game, with some very nice and well thought out environments. However the I found the gameplay to be pretty lacking overall and the story, characters and overall message of the game was downright embarrassing. I'd rather play the Far Cry 3 DLC Blood Dragon.

    Game play in Far Cry 4 like its immediate predecessor is incredibly linear and driven by slavish processes you have no choice but to follow. Straitjacketing the game player in this manner constantly reminds the gamer that they are, in fact, playing a game, removing any sense of suspension of disbelief and in so doing making it difficult to really to immerse yourself in the vast world the game offers.

    This is a real shame and I feel demonstrates a rather patronizing attitude towards to gaming community in general. Its as if we are all too stupid to make our own decisions and make our way through the game using our wits needing instead to be led by the nose from beginning to end.

    For myself I'll be saying goodbye to the Far Cry series. I have loyally endured to date but prefer games that let me use my wits and imagination to solve the challenges presented which is what good gaming is really all about.

If, on the other hand, you enjoyed Far Cry 3 precisely because it wasn't that way, then you may wish to avoid this brainless, noisy, lazily-designed sequel, or at least wait until you can buy it for under ten dollars.

    FC4 ==> SORRY UBISOFT I DIDNT LIKE IT :(

    . IN FC3 I WAS ADDICTED TO IT THAT I PLAYED THE GAME FOR ALMOST 7 TIMES IN A ROW .

    1- STORY : IN FC3 IT WAS A NICE STORY THAT I COULD UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW LIKE A MOVIE BUT IN FC4 THERE ARE ALOT OF BRANCHES IN THE STORY THAT I WONT UNDERSTAND OR EVEN PAY ATTENTION TO .

    2-ENEMIES : IN FC3 I WAS ENJOYING THE LANGUAGE , ACCENT , WORDS OF THE ENEMIES AND I WAS SO HAPPY WITH THE REACTIONS OF THEM WHILE MOVING .. IN FC4 YOU GET DETECTED EASILY EVEN IF YOU WERE HIDING ALSO ENEMIES ALWAYS MOVE TOWARDS YOU EVEN IF YOU WERENT DETECTED SO IT WAS ANNOYING AND I DIDNT ENJOY IT AT ALL .

    3-WORLD : IN FC3 WHILE RUNING ON FOOT YOU CAN SEE WIDE ANGLE THAN IN FC4 . ALSO WHEN AN ENEMY APPROACHES YOU FROM A DISTANCE YOU CAN SEE THEM POPPING INFRONT OF YOU AND START MOVING TOWARDS YOU . AND ACTUALLY YOU CAN HEAR THE SOUND OF THE CAR STARTING FROM FIRST GEAR ..

    4-AIMING& SHOOTING : SHOOTING NEXT TO A TREE OR A ROCK IS SOO FRUSTRATING ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU AIM REALLY NEAR THE TREE YOU HIT THE TREE INSTEAD :(

    5- SPLIT SCREEN NOT AVAILABLE ... IM GOING TO DIE !!!!!!!

    6-THE RADIO MAN IS BOOOOORING .. I MEAN .. WHO LISTENS TO THIS GUY ANYWAY ??

    7-CONTROLLING THE CAR IN CONSOLES IS SOOOO DIFICULT .

    8-THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS ME PLAYING THE GAME IS THAT YOU CAN USE A BOW >>> BOW IS A GOOD IDEA OR ILL BE BACK PLAYING FC3

    HOPE TO SEE IMPROVEMENTS ON FC5 .. ALL THE BEST

Predators can be spawned at will by throwing a piece of meat wherever; rediculous. Rare animals like Rhinos and Blackbears are everywhere to be found.
    The great potential of a game like this lies in the action which sadly is too easy. All outposts can be conquered in less than half a minute easily. And the "Great" fortresses are just a little bit more difficult. The game reinforces sexism, if that sound interesting to anyone, by putting all morally wrong optional choises with the female antagonist and the emotionally correct choices with the male one. Personally I'm not sure if I care but I do not like feeling manipulated.
    Now it's not all bad. The action can be fun from time to time. But having experienced Far Cry 3 this feels like a bad ripoff where the creators have just cramed in as much stuff as they could to make it seem cool. And it probably does to 15 year olds. Maybe this game isn't made for me? In which case I say fine. I didn't pay anything for it anyway, thank god. Honestly, it's a piece of crap. Because of all the lost potential. Read a book instead.

I keep heading down, towards the marker. About half way down, mission fails.

    I finally just ski down the the extremely steep slope like I'm on a snowboard, about 150m or so, straight down, not stopping the entire way. No health lost, nothing. No big deal. I get down, immediately get attacked by: a) An eagle, b) Pit viper, c) "Hunters" (really?) and apparently, d) His pet wolf. Oh, the hunters have flame arrows to make it super irritating.

    I've played this game for roughly 4 hours so far, and can not begin to comprehend how it has a 8+. It's literally Far Cry 3.1: Himalayan Edition. Same weapons, same controls, same map design, same collectibles, same skills, same generic bad guys, same retarded AI, same outpost design, same scripted events, same perfectly set up animal-gets-loose-and-kills-everyone-for-you scenarios, same radio tower mission structure, etc, etc.

    It's boring, uninteresting, uninspired, hackneyed, contrived, repetitive, stagnant crap. It was OK with Far Cry 3 (at least the flowers don't glow and dubstep doesn't play all the time), but again? The same exact game, again? Please...I've had enough, this game is going right on ebay.

    I was a huge fan of Far Cry 2, I put a shameful amount of time into that game (story and MP). This game...this game is an abomination. It did well, so I know Far Cry 5 will come out next year - season pass and zero innovation in hand. Only this time, I won't waste any time on it.

    Унылейшная игра , в 3 части еще интересно было и мир исследовать, и сюжет проходить. Тут же - мега однообразный, перегруженный мир. От кол-ва гринда глаз дёргается. Зачистил 1/3 мира и удалил. Даже стрелять не интересно стало. Игра - копирка 3 части .Унылейшная игра , в 3 части еще интересно было и мир исследовать, и сюжет проходить. Тут же - мега однообразный, перегруженный мир.

    A wild and varied sandbox shooter that dazzles with sublime scenery and delights with a thriving animal ecosystem. Frosty fun guaranteed. [Jan 2015, p.75]
