    Far cry 4: fantastic game with missed opportunities

    I have been playing Far cry 4 qute casually since its release and i think it's a fantastic game with some missed opportunities

    Take for example the Map editor, you are only able to create maps for single player use only. I can't comment on its usability due to low a expertise within the art content map design.

    I think that the co-op is a bit buggy and would gain from letting you invite more than one player per Sassoon.

    The randomness of the game stands as a valuable asset and is use accordingly.

    How you at every turn is faced with a wild animal either you or interacting with environment in some way. So the hunting come naturally when the incentive to follow various crafting precipices and bumping into what could be considered as pray. But a spree of hunting is not the only result; other examples such as simple hostage rescue can end up as a escape from a rhino on a killing spree.

    A failed mission could be considered as the random encounter systems biggest setback. When I for example where to relocate to a new area within the main story of the game and failed due to a main character was killed by a wild animal. This as result made the mission feel a bit repetitive.

    I haven't had the chance to try out the co-op to its full extent because of some unfortunate bugs.

    The game simply refused to load up a cooperative game secession and no opportunity since has presented itself. So my only experience for now with the co-op mode is a small session with a randomly given player with no direct communication to speak of.

    The game so far feels like a over all good purchased.

      Being a stranger in a strange land has always been one of the core conceits of the Far Cry series. As a foreigner in an unfamiliar country, you explore the landscape and learn about its varying cultures just as the protagonist does, helping to ground you in their shoes, the world and its story with a first person viewpoint that remains a constant throughout. With Far Cry 3, a dollop of insanity was layered atop this concept, one which Far Cry 4 brashly continues with a villain Ubisoft desperatel...

      Far Assasinscrydogs 4 0

      In terms of reviewing Far Cry 4, there is a long version and a short version. The short version simply asks two questions; did you play Far Cry 3, and if so did you like it enough to want to play more? If the answer to both of those questions was yes, then you should play Far Cry 4. If the answer was no, then the next question would be; did you play any Assassins Creed game or Watchdogs? If the answer to this question is yes, then you immediately have a very good point of reference for the ...
