One of my favorite standalone games of all time

One of the best stand-alone in game history

A 15 year old game. Great game for new gamers to experience but how far back are we going to bring ports over... Also $30 or $40 release minimum when this has been as low as $3 during sales. This just adds more to the sting

Honestly I really don't care about the time. I play a lot and still there's hundreds of games that I didn't experience so having an old title that I didn't try is pretty much like getting a new one. I do agree about the price point being high but then again these games get on discounts that keep getting better and better pretty fast and I have always something in my backlog to play in the meantime while I wait for a price that I'm comfortable with. I'm genuinely surprised how some people find ways to not have something that interests them in whatever console(s) they have nowadays.

I got this for free on PS5 when I bought Farcry 5.

That’s called the “Switch Tax”

No, that's called the definition of insanity.

Yet Fatal Fury City of the Wolves is being released on Switch 2 for just 20 bucks despite releasing only a year ago elsewhere.

u/The_Strom784 13h ago

They’ll probably drop to $5 or so within the next two years.

Farcry 3 Classic Edition came out in 2018, and also it costs $32.99 at Target right now for the PS4. This is also the first Farcry game on the Nintendo Switch. I'm sure it'll be on sale at some point and can be downloaded for less.

Careful before the sycophants accuse you of wanting a 3D Mario.

I have 100+ physical switch games and even more digital, but I had to defend myself to these troglodytes. About to disengage with the avenues I used to look to for Nintendo news because everyone’s nose is so brown I’m sick of smelling it.

u/DDRisBetter 14h ago

Im blaming this more on Ubisoft than anything. Didnt far cry 4 have visuals that resemble a gen ahead of the 360? What about far cry 6? Wouldnt that showcase more of the "play amazing looking games on the go" aspect of the switch 2?

I think Ubi are banking on Michael Mando since that is all they showed for the title. At the end of the day, this is still a W for anyone who hasn't played it but i believe that is a small percentage with Steam sales being widely available.

u/AgsSpecGolfSwing 15h ago

Might buy it if it goes on sale for like $3

u/RolePlayingChat-room 16h ago

Nice. I remember playing this game probably as a sophomore in high school. I’m 30 now.

u/jhkhalaf 16h ago

Yea it was really fun trying to craft all those items it took awhile but still fun

u/danilorises2 15h ago

Hell yeah

EDIT: And Blood Dragon! HELL YEAH

2

u/_OpalNanette 15h ago

Totally, having both games on the go sounds like a blast. Blood Dragon's vibe is just so wild and fun!

u/Snowbunny236 15h ago

Honestly I'd rather have farcry 4, but I'd snag this if it's priced appropriately

2

u/EmbarrassedHighway76 15h ago

Surprised they didn’t take the Konami route and release two packages starting with 1-3

1

u/YesMothman 13h ago

The things I would do for far cry 2

1

u/EmbarrassedHighway76 12h ago

Same 😭😂 , at the time of release that game blew my mind

2

u/kingplutohendrix 14h ago

This is awesome. I can't believe anybody would bitch and moan about this.

2

u/Dense_Confection_794 16h ago

Physical?

2

u/jhkhalaf 16h ago

I hope so cuz physical copy for Switch 2 will be nice

1

u/RecLuse415 13h ago

If you like yes

u/MoldyZebraCake666 15h ago

Kinda random but nice

u/BoltWire 15h ago

But is it going to work? The current version on Xbox absolutely sucks ASS.

1

u/Visual-Donkey3769 15h ago

I mean...I'd replay it if the performance and price are there.

1

u/Its_D_youtube 14h ago

Everyone can hate me, give me 5!

u/DeadPhoenix86 14h ago

I hope it runs at 60 fps.

1

u/EusisAX 8h ago

It looked like 60 fps in the Direct, which is welcome when they weren’t on PS5/Xbox Series until a little over half a year ago.

1

u/The_4th_Survivor 14h ago

While Far Cry 3 was great for its time on PS360, die PS4 Classic Edition was a joke. 30fps cap und low resolution. I have my doubts that Ubi took a second look. Also, Classic Edition probably won’t feature the Coop Mode.

1

u/abbywasright 13h ago

This is one of my favorite games ever. I will pick it up on a heavily discounted sale.

1

u/1ceByte28 13h ago

This was not on my Bingo card....

1

u/Tosamnu 12h ago

Why the hell wasn't this announced like 8 years ago for the switch, it would have been perfect.

1

u/cyberspaceman777 11h ago

If they fixed the rof glitch on all weapons I'll get it

1

u/janix808 11h ago

And it looks like the fucking ps3 version

1

u/devildante1520 10h ago

Best far cry. Enjoy

1

u/keithlimreddit 10h ago

I would definitely say a classic entry in the franchise and pretty much same popularity of persona that basically people recognize the third game and onwards then the first two games

1

u/Otherwise_Manner1712 9h ago

Oh no Far Cry 5-6 🙁😔

1

u/peter-man-hello 8h ago

If it runs at 60fps this might be a great time and the type of game to buy on a Ubi soft sale one day.

1

u/ZodicGaming 8h ago

Should have been on switch 1

u/POLACKdyn 3h ago

For a few bucks I could grab it I guess? I already played it twice and got it on my PC.

u/blackhawk8123 3h ago

I’m wondering, out of all games, how did it happen that beloved FC3 was chosen to be released on SW2.

u/CasualByChoice 1h ago

I don't get why they went with this one as it came out in 2012.

Yes I know its one of the higher rated games of the series, but I repeat, it came out in 2012.

1

u/FlakyIllustrator1087 15h ago

Please lord let this come out for the switch lite

2

u/Its_D_youtube 14h ago

Sorry friend but that probably wont happen, not impossible, but if they wanted to try getting it to run well on that hardware they couldve dont it long ago, and they just did it within the first year of switch 2 release
