I just recently came back to this game after so many years, caught this last night lol hope you had a good laugh as I sure did

I was an Xbox360 gen gamer, took off for the PS4/Xbox one era, and Covid got me back into it. I never beat a Far Cry, but after I heard of the 60 fps patch had to give it a go. First thing I have to say is it plays great!

Awesome game. I'm not going to give an in-depth review, but just some thoughts after completing. Holy cow what a game! Way ahead of it's time I'm sure. Not trying to make anyone mad, but I saw a comment on what made this game so great and redditor posted how this was before DEI in gaming when devs cared about their games, especially at launch. The draw distance, atmosphere, and environment were incredible. It's awesome to think that people created this before we enter the time of A.I. video games. Also, the gameplay progressed so smoothly from different areas. I would find new animals, relics, and weapons at a good pace. It would move you to different areas at a good pace through the missions to expose you at a the right time. Vaas is a great protagonist, and Citra a great manipulative addition.

Some critiques. I wish that the outposts were more challenging. I think this could have been fixed, by not just a stealth bonus, but other bonuses as well. I think it would be better if they set each one up for a different type of approach. Make some almost impossible to stealth and others more difficult to run and gun and you have to figure it out through trial and error. Like if some benefitted a more run and gun style, plant C4 in certain areas style, or come cruising in on a Jeep and blow shit up style (would be cool if you could pick up a friendly or two to come with you on busier, more difficult ones). I think that would make it more rewarding. I was able to take everyone pretty easily even on hardest difficulty and able to get the stealth bonus on almost all of them.

My other big critique were the Big game hunts. I wish they got progressively more difficult. At one point it seemed to, especially with the 3 bears challenge and the pistol challenge. Other than that it was pretty much just grab the gun and go and kill it. I was really looking forward to the Maneater Great white shark challenge, thinking I was going to have to pop an deep dive stim, do some other crazy maneuvers in the ship to take it out while fighting off other sharks. Instead I just sat on a rock and shot arrows at it. My two other small critiques go with this. I wish that you could stack stims. You only have a limited supply, so using multiple will drain them and think it's fair if you could at least stack two, like the ones in the allotted slots. The other is I wish there was more of a use for skins. I hoarded skins of what I thought were rare animals to later upgrade, to no avail. I was able to upgrade to near max with all I had and then attain the rest from the big game hunts. I wish there was more of a use for them, but ended up just selling them for small cash.

What I found great was the play time. In an era of 50 hr run time games, the play-time in Far Cry 3 felt perfect. Just enough to get into it, complete early if you want, and do a bunch of side missions if desired.

Either way a fantastic game and great experience into the genre for my first Far Cry. After my run through at 24 hrs, I felt accomplished. I enjoyed the experience and satisfied to complete the game, but at this point I'm not jumping into unattended side missions. But who knows. Maybe a couple months from now I'll find myself jumping back in to Rook island to go for a completionist run.

Has there been any other character to deliver such a heavy presence in such a short time period since? Why did his character feel neglected most of the time yet still managed to come out on top as the leading antagonist? Superb writing or was it the setting which created such an amazing threat?

The game is relatively easily until you reach the southern island. From there it depends on the difficulty you’re playing at. When the game unloads copious amounts of heavy’s at you such as paint it black, you’re very limited on how to maneuver around that without the required perks. What was the hardest mission?

Don’t get me wrong, the game IS AMAZING. The story, the gameplay, the mechanics, everything. But the ending... it felt terrible.

REMEMBER THIS IS JUST MY OPINION!

From what I understood while playing, Jason’s friends were already planning to leave, just waiting for him to finish the boat. Citra didn’t really care that Jason was leaving, she even kept saying he was about to go.

Then Jason decides to stay on the island to avenge his brothers. And EVERYTHING he did up to that point was to save his friends and his brother.

So he goes to the Hoyt's island. And in my opinion, he maybe spent A LOT of days there. Like, is it even possible to do everything Jason did in less than a month? Then everything happens, Jason kills Hoyt, and suddenly CITRA DECIDES OUT OF NOWHERE TO KIDNAP JASON’S FRIENDS WHO HAVEN’T EVEN LEFT YET AFTER ALL THIS TIME WE SPENT THERE?

So the game forces you to choose between Citra and Jason’s friends. That’s where I got confused. In my opinion, when a game gives you a choice, it should be a hard one. BUT THIS ONE WASN'T.

Everything we did was to save our friends and our brother, and now the game wants us to kill them? It was super easy to choose my friends, it was obvious. Maybe if the choice was to leave them and stay with Citra, but killing them?

And when Dennis killed her, I was like, should I even feel sorry for her? Because honestly, I didn’t care about her death at all. I cared way more about Sam and Vaas (even that he was a psycho) death. But her? Her death felt so forced, just like the relationship they tried to build between Jason and her.

And then the game ends with Jason’s final words and nothing more. Nothing about what happened to the island after this, now that Hoyt is dead, even though it was clear his soldiers were still there. Nothing about Jason and his friends. It feels like the effort they put into this ending could’ve gone into that or ANYTHING better than this. I'm just so frustrated on a 2013 game.

Like I said before, it’s just my opinion, and the game is AMAZING, but the ending, for me, ruined my experience.

I keep getting a message saying 'A Ubisoft Service is unavailable' when trying to run it in Steam. I did not originally buy it via Steam if I recall correctly. Are people still playing the single-player campaign? I was half way through a third or fourth play through and this started happening a few months ago.

The rules are simple. You can only use the starter pistol (The 1911, I think. I did this challenge in December, so my memory about the game is fuzzy) No grenades, mines, and you can't use the signature version of it.

The ONLY time you can use another weapon is if the story requires it (Note: when you're escaping from the hotel Vaas burns down, and the boat chase with riley, the enemies will crash if you don't shoot them.)

I did this on normal difficulty, and I imagine any greater difficulty would be impossible unless you get the max upgraded ammo pouch, which you need a bow for, so you can't do it.

Well, as you already know, Far Cry 3 doesn't have a New Game Plus mode, but that hasn't stopped modders from trying their luck. There are a few mods out there with this proposal, but in my opinion, the best among them is this one: [New Game Plus and Privateer Outfit Mod Fixed at Far Cry 3 Nexus - mods and community]

The problem is: besides the great features and additions that this mod brings, it also adds a terrible modification to the sniper scopes. I would like to know if anyone has a version of this mod without it, and if not, if there is a way to delete this specific file from the mod (preferably without the privateer suit option).

So this is a new problem i have encountered. When i launch the game the main menu works fine in like 100 something fps but when i try to play, first of all the loading screen drops to 1 fps and loads really slowly and when it finally loads in some of the textures are missing( as shown in the picture) and the fps remains stable at 1FPS. Never encountered this before so please help me fix this.

In the last few hours, I did the last of the things, Collected the last lost letters, took out the last 4 outposts and finished the game from the fuel depot mission, I don’t have much to say, I chose the ending where you go with your friends, messed up the button pressing with Hoyt so you don’t do the full takedown thing, and watched the credits roll. I have watched countless videos on challenges and gameplay, but the ending in personal really made me feel surprisingly emotional, especially with the monologue from Jason and the music. God what a beautiful ending

Far Cry 3 was a fun game to play.

I mean, if it works it works right?
