Far Cry 3 PC Review



Whoa if it isn't how insanity should be defined?? I never played far cry 2 completely, but i got the theme of how Far Cry 3 would not be less than badass. 

It improves a lot from its prequel in gameplay, graphics etc.
We can literally do anything in Far Cry 3. Hunt animals, play poker, be a true Rakhyat by completing challenges, explore the jungle, play knife darts etc etc. I would be joking if this is all we can do in far cry 3. The map is huge and exploring is very rewarding. Unlike Darksiders which has a large map but exploring is a lot of pain and not much rewarding, far cry 3 allows players to liberate outposts of pirates to use them as fast travel locations. 




The characters are very well developed. We play as Jason Brody. Although i dint like  his character at first, who is in fact very timid and scared all the time, but as game progresses he gets to become more and more badass. Well it is required to do that just to survive in the jungle. I love the character vaas. He is funny, unpredictable, and very very dangerous. After our escape from Vaas' camp, we are introduced to a tribal warrior Dennis who is more friendly and go-'get'er type of guy. And there is the hottie of the jungle 'Citra' whom the Rakhyat treat her as jungle goddess. She is very sensuous and hotter than my girlfriend(Liza). The game also portrays other friends who have been captured but enough justice to their roles is not done, although every character is very important. If you thought is badass, then you gotta meet Vaas' boss, Hoyt, who is beyond badass and devilish. 


The hottie i was talking about

As we make progress, we earn skill points. The skill points can be used in three different ways-heron, shark and the spider. Each skill set gives a edge to hunting, combat, fighting and surviving in jungle. We can view in 'tatau' how many skill points we have earned. 

Story 
As far as story is concerned, i can split it into two parts-rescuing our friends and taking revenge. Any minor detail other than this would be a spoiler. So i would like to keep it that way.Six friends travel for a vacation who in their blithe moments are captured. We as Jason Brody will have to rescue our friends. Story is decent, but its the characters that make the story exciting and make unexpected twists and turns in the playing. 


Awesome graphics
Gameplay
As i said, there isn't anything we can't do. we can explore the island, liberate outposts, climb radio towers to reveal the map etc. The game runs smoothly but with some glitches. To start off, radio towers are very tough to climb in second half of the game. When we stand in front of the stairs, the player is unable to climb the stairs , we need to jump for him to move forward.
Far cry 3 features variety of weapons each of which is unique in its own way. Also there are signature weapons which unlock after completing certain stages. We can collect plants and animal pelts/ skins to craft various medicines and items like for example- increasing our pouch capacity, having extra health etc.



I would like you to play this awesome game. This game is definitely as Vaas defines it-'Insanity'. I am not adding any other detail cause that will only spoil the game-play. Now play this game and have fun...:D

+ story                                      - climbing radio towers
+ graphics                                 - poor engine
+ exploring is rewarding
+ characters
+ weapons

Badass-o-meter rating is 9.0/10....:D
