Game review: Far Cry 4
11 years ago
General
If you are a fan of the far cry series, then you will love Far cry 4. The game is fun, its exciting and its random. But its easy to play. I beat the game. Took me about 36 hours. I have 100% completion. (Note im home 24/7 so I have plenty of game time) So what can I say about FC4?
Story: The story is pretty good. The chioces you make decide the games out come. They change how it plays and what happens. The prologe is kinda langthy, but offers a lot of info and gets you up to speed. But the stroy misstions seem kinda easy. Might be because I was almost super juman and hand a lot of special weapons. And I was on Normal. But its still good.
Side misstions: There. Are. A. Lot. Of. Side misstions. Everything from hostage rescue to bomb defusel. Theres races and arena fight too. And you have random events too. All of which net you a dect amount of XP and a good amount of money (K Rupees)
Weapons: There are 63 standard weapons. And thay all have diffrent roles. Side arms are mostly used for when you're driving. While a AR is good for almost everything. Bows are great for medium range stealth kills and little ammo loss. (Retrievable arrows) There are also SIGNATURE weapons. These weapons are better vertions of the standard weapons. They are worth you're time to get them. They help alot. My prefered load out is a M79 for my side arm, the Buzzsaw signature weapon(MG42) A sniper rifle/bow(Long range stealth. And some kind of rocket launcher or other weapon.
Vehicles: There are 12. Most of which are un armed and not that usefull. I have run more placesa then I have driving. Vehicles also use the left thumb stick to drive and steer. move it forward to accelerate. Backwards to reverse. And keep it that way and rotate it to the side to turn. RT/R2 fires you're sid arm. In the options menu you can change this to classic. Which makes you're triggers the accelerater and reverse and LB/:|L1 you're weapon.
Animals: There back, and just as unpredictable. And yes, you have to hunt them for there pelts to craft more stuff.
Crafting: if you are hunting animals, use a Bow or knife! It will be a CLEAN kill and will grant you 2 pelts from that animal! It is a significan't help. As for syringes, the game will automaticly craft health packs when you get 2 grwn leaves. As for the other 3 syringe types, you just hold the weapon wheel, prees RB/R1 And craft your meds. Better the FC3 where you had to pause to craft them.
Syringe limit: You can carry a set number of EACH syringe. So if you can hold 8 syringes, you can have 8 of each type at all times. So 8 heatlh, 8 double damage, 8 super human, 8 fire resitstant. All at the same time. A vast improvent over FC3.
Collectables: There are a tone of collectables. All of which count for 100% compleation, but they al offer XP, karma, and a possable weapon once you collect enough of them.
MP: I haven't playeyed the MP yet. But Im not thrilled with how it looks. You have 2 teams, 1 with guns, and the other with bows and arrows and abilites. Doesn't sound fun to me. I want my TDM back. I want FC3 MP back.
Re-play ability: If you follow 1 of the 2 characters fully through the game then you have 2 play throughs, which offer to diffrent endings and chices to game play. If you want to mix and match, you can.if you want to go half and half, you can. There are at least several play throughs to FC4. Enjoy.
FC4 is a fun game that feels like FC3. Thats a good thing in my book. It was esy to get used to and play. Its fun and I deffinetly recomend it. I give FC4 a 8-10. The story is great, the game play is great. The driving is odd, but can be fixed in the options menu. Is it worth the $? Yes, yes it is. I would by it for next gen in a heart beat.
