If you've never actually played the Far Cry games how can you say FC4 is far from mediocre. Where did the mediocre come from?

DarkOcelet4238d ago

I think the site is called The Observer for a reason lol . He just ... Observes .

mikeslemonade4238d ago

Far Cry as been associated with mediocrity for me for a long time.

Fishy Fingers4238d ago (Edited 4238d ago )

Other than 2, which had its faults, the franchise has always delivered. FC3 was great and this looks to expand upon that.

After 5 years of PS3 only, I played FarCry 3 on my new PC. This was the beginning of next gen for me, and what an awesome way to start the gen off: a vibrant tropical island setting, clear blue seas, tall grass, beautiful sunlight, the terribly intriguing Vaas, open world gameplay, etc.

I cannot for the life of me see how FarCry 4 can top this experience for me. As others have said, as of yet it really feels like a new skin over an existing game. I hope I'm proven wrong when the game hits store shelves, but it's going to have to be extremely well put together to have the same mind-blowing effect on me. Fingers crossed..

Remember playing far cry 1 the first game. When i saw the water i though the graphic was so great and the jungle too. Now its even better. Cant wait too play this game. Even when it looks like a replica of far cry 3 it still looks great.

Sneakybudda4238d ago

Can someone explain to me, how can someone wright a review without even playing the game? i know, why don't we all wright a review on call of duty advance warfare lol. And also how does online work on farcry? Is it even possible to play with my friends who have a ps4? while i play on my home entertainment system (xbox one). Will i have to strap a mobile to my head to talk to them? Because its obvious that we can't interact with someone on a different games console? Unless someone knows the answer how does it works please tell me because if its true this should of been done many years ago. And it would stop this VICIOUS console war. Which i am a vetran of lol. Anyways can someone explain to me these questions? Because i am only a cat prrrrr.

As much as I liked Far Cry 3 it wasn't because of the gameplay, it was the story/characters I liked, I found the actual gameplay too easy/repetitive, Angry Joe said FC4s gameplay is exactly the same as FC3 during his hands on impressions http://www.youtube.com/watc...

That might not be a bad thing, as long as FC4 has an even better story with even crazier characters i'll be more than happy

edqe4238d ago

FC3 characters reminded me people from Jersey Shore or from other MTV teenager reality show. I disliked character and the story very much.

I agree that the gameplay was very repetitive and easy. Way too much hand holding to make environments feel interesting and dangerous.

famoussasjohn4238d ago

I believe he just put up a video on Co-op as well for FC4.

late but still a good move, oobi

InUrFoxHole395d ago

Seriously, it's great to see devs add things to older games.

OhReginald396d ago

Sony....you're really letting ubisoft out of all all companies to out class you??? Give us the bloondborne 60 fps patch....ffs

dantesparda396d ago

I second this (Bloodborne 60fps) plus damn, Ubisoft, you're doing great but now the last thing I want youi to do is mae Far Cry Primal 60fps and AC Unity

Profchaos395d ago

Everytime someone asks for a bloodborne patch it gets delayed 1 day.

ETA next century

I_am_Batman395d ago

They know it's gonna cost them sales of the inevitable Remake that'll probably come around the PS6 launch.

raWfodog395d ago

Good news for when, or If, I ever play it. It’s waaay down on my backlog list lol.

P_Bomb395d ago

I like these 60fps patches. Hoping they’ll do Ghost Recon Wildlands someday.

Yi-Long395d ago

Kudos to Ubisoft for once again going back to older titles and then offering a nice upgrade for free. I know the company gets a lot of criticism, in quite a few cases understandable and justified, but in this area of contintued post-launch support for their SP games, they deserve some credit.

Ubisoft Removes Nudity in Silent Far Cry 4 Update (New Info: Changes Reverted)

Update: Ubisoft has acknowledged that the Japanese version of the game, which includes regional censorship, was mistakenly released globally. The company says it has reverted these changes in the game's worldwide branch.

Ubisoft has quietly removed nudity from Far Cry 4 in a recent update, sparking speculation about Tencent’s growing influence on the publisher.

You can murder, mame, and viciously attack people, but anything that deals with showing a body in a natural state whether for titillation or narrative, is some truly terrible thing. We are so weird with our puritan thought process. Feed our bloodlust and fuel our enjoyment for entertainment of simulating acts of harm and murder, but god forbid you see digitized TnA. It will never make sense to me.

Rebel_Scum419d ago

tbh even if they did remove it, it doesnt matter. I dont even remember when there was nudity in the game. If it was there it was so inconsequential.

B5R419d ago

Agreed. It absolutely makes no sense

Also, even though Ubisoft reverted the changes that removed nudity, there's the bigger issue of developers being able to make large changes to the game you paid for whenever they want.

Kassanova07419d ago (Edited 419d ago )

Stellar Blade comes to mind. This is why buying physical is the way to go.

Played and enjoyed Far Cry, Far Cry 3 and 4 campaigns .

-Foxtrot806d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor806d ago

Yeah, 4 was good, was hard choosing which Golden Dawn member to side with, when they were both pieces of sh!t.
I've beaten all the main entries except 2 and 6, ended up uninstalling 6 to download something else instead.

Profchaos806d ago

I'd love a far cry pack with the original PC game (not the half assed port on ps360) instincts, predator even a port of far cry 2 to modern consoles back when these games had their own identity and weren't far cry 3 cut and pastel

Demetrius806d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger88806d ago (Edited 806d ago )

Same here, I don't know why these games get so much hate. I've thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them, with only a couple of exceptions. I wish they'd hurry up and announce Far Cry 7. The only thing I'm concerned about is the rumoured time limit.
