    Far Cry 3 is a fantastic game with a brilliant villain, who is just badass. It´s a MUST have for everyone, the story has a perfect atmosphere, coop mode is much fun, but i admit that multiplayer could be better !

    Far Cry 3 is a unique experience that you won't forget in a hurry. It is an open world first-person shooter, and it's got so much content that you'll want to play for hours and hours at a time to discover all of it.

It is an open world first-person shooter, and it's got so much content that you'll want to play for hours and hours at a time to discover all of it.

    The story is incredibly interesting, as you play as an American tourist who travels to Rook Island, and after escaping a pirate camp you must save your friends, avenge your brother, and escape the island. Half the game you spend fighting Vaas, and his pirate gang. The remainder you spend fighting the less interesting Hoyt, and his soldiers. The game gets a little bit muddled in the middle as the game becomes less about stealth and more about action, but after a few missions you get used to it, and it becomes an over-the-top action-packed shooter. The missions? Meh. They are incredibly linear and can get dull, but if you obey the rules like a good little boy then you will enjoy yourself thoroughly.

    If you grow bored of the missions, you can explore the huge open world. A unique selling point which sold the game to me was the outposts, which are dotted around the map, and are filled with 5-10 varying enemies. There's the standard mercenaries, the Molotov-throwing and sometimes irritating chargers, the snipers, and the big lads who are covered in thick armour. Some outposts also have dogs, and by the end of the game, let's just say you might become more of a cat person. You can take them over however you want; with a sniper, the awesome bow, with your machete, or with an LMG. You can scout the base by tagging enemies which allows you to see them through walls, even mountains, and you can also disable the alarms to make your life easier. When you do take one over you unlock a fast travel location, and get rid of enemies in the immediate area of that base.

    There's also hunting, which allows you to kill pigs, boars, leopards and tigers, which allow you to create bigger weapon holsters, syringe kits, wallets etc. It's incredibly satisfying, and the rewards mean it's worth doing again and again. On top of all this, the game looks incredible, even on the 360. Everything from the lighting and water, to the vegetation and weapons. The graphics and aesthetics are top notch. The game options are also more than enough, with the ability to turn off parts of the HUD, and annoying notifications. There are some problems, however. The game crashed just once, and you take fall damage from a one inch drop, but not from sliding down a 30 metre cliff?

    On the whole the game is a must own. It's different from every other fps out there, and it's totally worth the money.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Even up to date, this is one of the best games on Xbox 360 which I've played. The framerate is sometimes terrible, and that's why I only gave it a 9/10. The sound of the game seems sometimes not the best, as if it were rendered at a low quality, no clue if that's not just on console but it looses points for that too. Finally, the game at times would show bugs in the map rendering, sometimes I would try to jump on a ledge and make character would get pushed off. This is probably a problem with the movement system in the game, so not just this version. Other than these two facts, the story is very good, the ending satisfying yet over hyped... I feel like if they explained how Jason came back to the island/didn't die would've helped me convince myself to continue playing the game. The characters sell the game very well. co-op mode is very well structured and still fun up until now. Multiplayer is great yet getting smaller every day.… Expand

    Far Cry 3 is a prime example of how to do an open world shooter correctly. While not without its own flaws, this game has stood the test of time and I write this review at the end of 2017 because there honestly has not been an open world shooter since this game that improved the formula. Sadly?

    So as I wait for Far Cry 5 to release (after a delay of a month was just announced), I feel    Far Cry 3 is a prime example of how to do an open world shooter correctly. While not without its own flaws, this game has stood the test of time and I write this review at the end of 2017 because there honestly has not been an open world shooter since this game that improved the formula. Sadly?

    So as I wait for Far Cry 5 to release (after a delay of a month was just announced), I feel like a little retro review is in order. Quick points to get out of the way, I have not played Far Cry, Far Cry 2, or Far Cry Primal, I have only played 3 & 4 because of interest in the setting and locale of the 2 games.

    There are two main things I have to get out of the way for this review that I cannot quickly put into a pro and con list because they stand out way too much.

    One, this game has one of the best villains I have ever seen in a video game, movie, etc. Vaas was exceptionally well done and the voice actor did an excellent job in making his personality believable and he truly was an amazing antagonist to fight with through the story. Like many other people, I believe his role in the game was too minimalistic and he definitely should have been utilized more as the other villain was not very memorable.

    Two, quick time events are an absolutely bull**** way to lazily transition a boss fight that the game has been building up to with its story. One of the main reasons I cannot give this game a 10. Dying Light did this too and it just irritates me so much. I don't want a damn cutscene finale developers!!!

    Anyways, here is the list:

    Pros:

    - Excellent & gorgeous setting/location
    - One of the best villains ever (Vaas)
    - Vast array of wildlife
    - Large open world/sandbox
    - Lots of side quests
    - Long list of available weapons
    - Good RPG elements in class building (Herron, Shark, Spider)
    - Allows you to play your own way (stealth or guns blazing)
    - Some interesting characters
    - Simple crafting system
    - Great skill trees
    - Fun over the top action
    - Signature weapons are a blast to use and unlock
    - Fast travel
    - Short load times

    Cons:

    - Fu**ing QTEs (Should have stopped this back then)
    - Awkward ending?
    - Jason, as a main character, goes from a pu**y to a jackass instantaneously?
    - Fall damage
    - First person driving
    - Enemy AI can sometimes be really dumb, or notice you in the bushes from 2 miles off

    Despite some flaws, this game is the last open world shooter I thoroughly enjoyed because it combined all the elements that make video games great. It had over the top action, it took some basic rpg elements, it had an amazing adversary in the form of Vaas, it gave you the freedom to play how you wanted, a vast number of side quests and missions to complete so that you could build up your character and spend hours sinking your teeth into the environment and explore it at your own pace, some cut scenes that weren't overly intrusive, and just gave you a giant sandbox to screw around in.

    Overall, this game gave you everything you wanted in an open world shooter, and easily stands the test of time. If this game used Vaas more than they did, and did not use QTEs in boss battles, I would have easily given this game a score of 90+. As it stands, this game, for me, is an 87.

    This is truly the last open world shooter that I would give a score above 75 and it is actually a real shame to think that. Too many games nowadays focus on over the top cinematics and graphics in the form of intrusive cut scenes that strip away control from the player and turn the game into a movie, when it should be interactive all the way through.

    Before this turns into a rant on modern games, I'll just say that I miss games like these and I hope Far Cry 5 can replicate some of the memories that this game was able to give me. Cheers!    … Expand

    "Far Cry 3" is the highlight of the series. While the previous titles were highly-acclaimed, FC 3 marked the moment when the franchise found its footing. Every "Far Cry" released since has followed its formula. This is one of Ubi Soft's best games. It's like "Skyrim" with guns. I would rate it with a 9 out of 10.

    It is the best Far Cry so far and has one of the most iconic villain of them all, Vaas Montenegro, a **** crazy man. Frenetic game in a beautiful island with many things to do and you must be careful not only with the pirates, also with the fauna from the island. Really good game and recommended.

    Честно говоря после того, что Ubisoft Montreal сотварили с Far Cry 2. Ожидал продолжения с опаской. Ёлы палы, я даже не знал чего я конкретно жду от Far Cry 3. Мне очень не хотелось прямого сиквела второй части, да и возвращение к азам меня не радовало.
    И вот Far Cry 3 вышел, и в отличии от двойки, в которой я мучился месяца 3 или 4, тройку я прошел буквально за несколько дней.

    И вот Far Cry 3 вышел, и в отличии от двойки, в которой я мучился месяца 3 или 4, тройку я прошел буквально за несколько дней.
    Обалдеть. В игре изменили буквально всё.
    Начну с сюжета. Он интересный, закрученный, да в основном прямой, но с уймой доп. заданий. Наш герой ожил, заговорил, стал человеком за которого переживаешь. Враги и друзья обрели лица. Мне просто стало интересно слушать диалоги.
    Стрельбу переработали, пули летят туда куда ты стреляешь. Враги из однородной биомассы второй части, которых надо было искать на экране, превратились в хорошо заметных, передвигающихся противников.
    Выглядеть игра стала великолепно. Обновлённый Dunia Engine 2 выдавал очень красивую и живую картинку. Вернули джунгли. Появились животные. Я не знаю вроде текстурки с прошлого Dunia и не сильно изменились, но играть и смотреть на экран стало гораздо приятнее.
    Переработали прокачку. Если в предыдущей части это было похоже на недоразумение, в третьей прокачка стала интересной и разнообразной. Чтобы получить то или иное улучшение стало нужно выполнять квесты, охотиться на животных и заниматься прочим крафтингом. Мне очень понравилось.
    Теперь о нпс. Я считаю, что в Far Cry 3 они лучшие в серии. Брат протагониста Грант Броди бывший вояка, отдавший жизнь, чтобы спасти нас, лидер сопротивления Деннис Роджерс, ну а Ваас Монтенегро и его Сестра Цитра Талугмай, с которой у нашего героя даже будет весьма пикантная сцена от первого лица, проработаны невероятно. Жаль в четвёртой части качество нпс резко снизилось. Что касается второй я даже вспомнить не могу имя хотя бы одного нпс.
    Появились цитадели и целые крепости которые можно захватывать, как с шашкой наголо, так и по стелсу. И опять таки в сравнении со второй частью зачищенные противники не возрождаются. Что добавляет реальности игре. При этом мир игры ни как не пустует. В нём всегда что то происходит. Не заскучаешь!
    Конечно атмосфера игры была просто невероятно затягивающей. Просто не хотелось выходить из этого мира.
    Да чуть не забыл, появились вышки и их захват для разведки территории. И тогда они были очень к месту.
    Конечно остались поездки на машинах. Они мне не очень понравились, собственно как и во всех прочих играх, но можно весь мир облазить пешком. И это будет более плодотворно для героя.
    И так резюмирую. Игра великолепная. Особенно на фоне Far Cry 2, да и четвертая часть эту планку не взяла. Не так давно вышел ремастер на PS4 и XBoxOne. Выглядит хорошо, так что если кто то пропустил, милости просим.    … Expand

    This game has been the foundation for basically every game following 2012. The idea of capturing bases and completing markers on a map was built here. I definitely don't think this pattern should keep being followed by every game. Far Cry 3 changed gaming.

I liked how you had to work to open up the map and aim to make targets show up. I felt cheated every time I died due to the game breaking it's own rules. The enemies are a little funny at first, but they only said a few lines, so I got pretty tired of them fast. I spent over 50 hours in the game because I went after absolutely everything, and I can say that there is no reward in getting every piece of loot, so resist being a completionist. The driving should really have been third-person because walking everywhere got very tedious. My car would either explode or get stuck on a twig within 20 seconds of getting in it. The choices of the open world made the game open-ended for different styles of play. For example, I took an outpost with only two bears when I could have used bullets or bombs or arrows. Overall, this title is a good open world game with so much to do and good memories to have, but little short on the story mode and gets slightly repetitive.… Expand

I was a bit unsure of the human enemy AI. It was not bad but it was not great either but when you think of the size of the game world plus the fact that animals in the game are pretty impressively written and add some real tension again this can partially be looked past. I found the story really really engaging until one moment happened. From here the story is not bad but noticably takes a dip (You will know the moment when you play).
    I would say this was in my top 10 games of 2012 and would recommend anyone to play it. you can waste hours just hunting animals!. Don't be put off by anything bad written about it as the game is EPIC. Its just not perfect but when you play it you will see past the same niggles I did.    … Expand

Starting as a neutral figure, afraid to even fire a gun at first, he is quickly transformed by his experiences as the game progresses until pretty soon all manner of options are available to the player to best defeat their enemies.

    Truth be told the actual story missions, while usually passable, are far from the most interesting aspect of the game. All too often they fall back on video game clichés with the use of QTE’s and escort missions being particularly irritating. What truly makes Far Cry 3 the game it is, is the fantastic open world that allows for all manner of unique, and totally unscripted, events. Talk to anyone that has played the game and they will tell you of events that only they will have experienced. Fortunately the actual gameplay mechanics are also very good with weapons having a real sense of weight to them as well as the welcome freedom to choose from going in all guns blazing to taking a more stealthy approach thanks to the use of 'Takedown' moves that can be unlocked.

    All in all this one comes highly recommended.    … Expand

I don't want to give anything away, but at the end of the game you have a hard choice to make, and the reason the choice is hard is because you have become attached to the characters and the different sides... this is testament to the great voice acting and spot on animations. I actually cared what happened. Graphically the game is beautiful and adds to the immersion. The combat is a lot of fun... personally I like the sniping and stealth aspect which works very well. I was worried about the predators like the leopards. I wondered if they would pounce out of every other bush. I am happy to report that run-ins happen, but the encounters are random and do not happen all that often. The autonomous A.I. makes for some interesting and random action. For example, one fight I was trying to move into position to knife kill a target when some friendlies in a boat caught the attention of my prey, thus giving me the distraction to go in for the kill. My main gripe with FC3 is in the middle of the game, before you are allowed to go to the second island, you have to do a series of main missions that are a grind at best and really annoying at worst. One mission has you doing a kill free corridor stealth run, another starts you out with only a knife and a set area that you are confined to, while another has you defending a position while a friendly AI does a repair... and failing the mission five times because he keeps getting shot from multiple angles. These quests were stripped of the very thing that makes the Far Cry series so great... choice. Also some of the real time events were just frustrating... and if you do not hit the right button at the right time you have to start over and do it again. But despite some major mid game annoyances and a couple of the more challenging real time events, the rest of the game is amazing... albeit a bit busy. I did not do the hunting, racing, collecting items (unless I ran across them) I stayed to the main and side stories and the outposts, assassinations and towers.… Expand

    Far Cry 3 reaches for greatness, but falls short at merely being really fun. It has a few hiccups here and there and the story is very thin, but the exploration and combat really shine. It's a worthy addition to any collection.

    Almost everything about Far Cry 3 speaks to the game’s skilled, confident and tightly interwoven design, and players are free to seek their specific flavour of gratification and victory as Jason becomes the most dangerous animal on the island.

    The freeform combat, gorgeous locations, and excellent multiplayer are strong, and Far Cry 3 does a fantastic job of putting the player in the middle of a lawless, chaotic world and letting them get up to whatever they please. Yes, video games are capable of achieving much more than Far Cry 3 does, but it makes a persuasive argument that there's nothing wrong with a guilty pleasure now and again—especially when it's as slickly presented as this is.
