Review: Far Cry 4 | Stuff

If you're looking for an entirely new take on the Far Cry franchise, you may well be disappointed, but if you liked what you saw in Far Cry 3, you'll be blown away by what's on offer here.

It definitely needs a makeover for far cry 5. Somewhere entirely different, different storyline. Maybe the antarctic would be amazing.

But what's most important is gameplay. I hate the retitive nature gets old. I'd love dynamic, different ways to get the job done.

Farcry4 is better than Farcry3.

optimus4218d ago (Edited 4218d ago )

I never got around to playing far cry 3. I did play a few of it's predecessors years ago though and i thought these new far crys would be similar to those but better...i don't feel that these are, mainly because i expected a linear fps game like before.
Little did i know i would be presented with an open world sandbox formula with rpg elements. I was hoping there wouldn't be any type of remedial side tasks to do. Help this person here, that person there. Wash, rinse, repeat... I played those games already, they were called assassins creed and grand theft auto...

i was expecting a run and gun type of game (like it used to be) with 1 overall story. Where upgrading weapons consist of finding them or stealing them from your enemies, not wasting time looking for plants and skinning animals to upgrade this and that...
and if most of the things you find are "useless" and only good enough to sell, then why not give me the option to take it or leave it?...now i have to run around with a loot bag that "is almost full"...gee, thanks.

I don't even want to talk about driving since that is a choir unto itself...this game looks massive and i'm afraid i will grow bored of it before even getting through 30% of it as i did with assassins 3... I give myself until the end of dec before i trade it in. 6/10 so far for me.

late but still a good move, oobi

InUrFoxHole408d ago

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

OhReginald408d ago

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

dantesparda408d 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

Profchaos408d ago

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

ETA next century

I_am_Batman407d ago

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

raWfodog408d ago

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

P_Bomb408d ago

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

Yi-Long408d 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_Scum432d 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.

B5R432d 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.

Kassanova07432d ago (Edited 432d 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 .

-Foxtrot819d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor819d 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.

Profchaos819d 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

Demetrius819d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger88819d ago (Edited 819d 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.
