    This Week’s Game: Far Cry 4

    Can I tell you a secret? Shh shh shh, lean in close.

    I had no interest in Far Cry 3. That game, in fact, looked real fuckin’ dumb to me. I avoided it entirely, in fact, and instead picked up Far Cry 2 on sale and played a good amount of that, but I already wrote about that game. I am pretty sure that I still don’t have much interest at all in playing FC3, but I definitely have an interest in Far Cry 4.

    I blame Giantbomb for this entirely.

    I bought Far Cry 4 about a week ago, shortly before the game went on sale on XBL, so perfect timing there, I guess. Still, the game was totally worth the full cost based on how much fun I have had playing the co-op. Any game that just unleashes you and a buddy on an unsuspecting world with a lot of C4 is worth playing, I think. I have said “Xbox, record that” more times playing this game than any other – which is to say that I’ve said it at all.

    There were some surprisingly great open world games that came out last year, so much so that I actually bought and played some. I tend to stay away from open world games because I never end up finishing them, but I think the truth is that I just need to stay away from GTA, because those are the ones that I never finish. I’ve had a blast with Sunset Overdrive and Shadow of Mordor. What Far Cry 4 has that those game doesn’t, of course, is co-op.

    And C4. Can’t forget about that.

    I have only actually played through the prologue and Act 1 (Chapter 1? I think it’s divided up by chapters) of the main story, and have spent the rest of my time climbing towers, freeing outposts, and assassinating soldiers. I did make a point of watching the quick ending, and one of the issues I have with the game is the fact that I had to sit through the introduction again after I unlocked that first ending. Aside from that and a few connectivity issues, though, I’m pretty happy with the game overall. Stuff blows up really nice, the detonators on the C4 have a surprisingly long range, and I have yet to run out of fun ways to create chaos in my little corner of Kyrat.

    Oh man, I was going to talk about Puyo Puyo Tetris, wasn’t I? Oh well, next time maybe.
