Far Cry 3
It is called Far Cry because it makes you want to cry because of the violence. At one point, you have to kill two tapirs to craft a wallet or something. I admit I shed a tear at that point. You have to kill lots of people too, but they all deserve it. Hunting animals and picking flowers is just like from Red Dead Redemption, except you can make syringes with the plants and wallets and shit with the animal hides. Each upgrade needs a specific animal’s hide, which is annoying. I don’t think there is much difference between a pig hide and a boar hide, but according to the creators of Far Cry, there is. Someone there must have been intimate with both to know the difference. What I’m saying is: everyone who worked on Far Cry has sex with animals.
One major negative point is the way the map shows everything. All the collectibles and lootable crates appear on the map as soon as you near them, which takes a lot of the fun out of exploration. In the crates, there are a lot of items with no real purpose other than selling. On a game like Oblivion, they can be used as decoration so serve a purpose, but in Far Cry Wee, they only exist in containers and have no model. They seem a bit pointless.
Another annoying point is looting people. This is done by aiming your reticule near, but usually not on dead bodies. It is annoying. I often accidentally traded my gun for whatever the pirate was holding even though I was looking right at the person and not their gun. I ended up accidentally throwing my good gun off a ship and picking up a Gaygay-47 by mistake. Fortunately, all guns that you have bought can be reobtained for free from outposts.
Like most games, it has graphics, which is a plus.
The story seems all right. I’ve not completed it, but so far it’s fine. There’s a good rape scene where you get to see a lady’s breasts, so look forward to that. It comes shortly after an appearance from Viva Piñata’s Professor Pester’s more evil brother. There’s one bit involving water displacement in which the volume of water displaced would be like the sea levels rising one meter if you threw a stone in there. It’s ridiculous and annoying. Near the start, Dennis drives you somewhere, but his driving animation involves him moving the wheel left and then right, which looks particularly ridiculous when he starts doing it before the car is even moving.
The skills system is alright. You get EXP for killing baddies and doing missions so it’s the normal system. There is no associated level so you can gain all the skills by the end of it all.
Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?

Overall, it’s a pretty good game. I would rate it as worth £20.
