  • Today we are playing the original far cry weirdly developed by crytek of all developers...
    Crytek for whatever reason made the original far cry so i was pretty stoked to check out what crytek made way back in 2004.
    I'm ranking every far cry game in a few months but i was so impressed by far cry 1 i just had to make a video on it before a full review.

    I'm a military guy. I enjoyed the beginning of Far Cry 1, but just like with Crysis, when the aliens and weird experiments appeared, I stopped playing it. My favorite is actually Far Cry 2, as it is completely different from Far Cry 1. It's basically a simulation, and you have to like that kind of thing to enjoy it. But in saying that, and out of all the Far Cry games that I have played, three is the best. Because it was the original formula before it got copied so many times, like with the Assassin's Creed series. In other words, it is fine if you have not played past installments, but if you did, you're basically treading the same water.

    I finished this on expert, four times.
    love the shit out of this game. Why? Idk.
    I think it's a mix of AI that actually shoots back, and the care with which you need to navigate the levels.
    You can't just run in like an meathead and gun down scores of enemies. You actually have to be careful.
    Ammo management, health management, everything matters, or by the end of the level, you'll be on your last 10 AR bullets and a smidge of health. And believe me, it takes grit to finish the levels when in such a situation.
    I just played Far Cry 3, and I quit 20% in due to the ease of taking down enemies. It's just not challenging enough. It feels like they are designed to be beaten by me, whereas Far Cry 1 , it feels like I'm fighting for my life.
    I love having one foot in hell when I play video games. I can't get that shit in real life after all.

      I agree, i love far cry 1 just like you do, i speed runned it on realistic in just 67 minutes BUT, stamina management is ass, and the enemys can shoot you very accurate in camps, just like the first level, and fort (when you need to take that card to destroy that armory) and etc. I love the game but the AI did a terrible job with tenners and camps..the enemy shoots you 100% accuratr throught that and you can t even see it...

    That was pretty much the normal voice acting and story for games of the time. I think you guys have just been spoiled by Hollywood levels of production in games. Far Cry 1 is still the best of the Far Cry games. For me anyway. Although, Far Cry 3 was pretty awesome.

    Very interesting watching a 2023 take on the OG FarCry. Back in the day we were baffled by the sheer amount of foliage! It set the standard that was picked up in Crysis in 2008. But: For us old school gamers coming from Half Life and Quake, we never saw the damn enemies hiding in the bushes :) I set the game down once the Aliens hit, because I couldn't cope. I still have nightmares about that experience and it was at that point where I thought: there can be too much realism in games.
    Edit: really like the UA-cam Thumbnail you got going here

    I completed that game in 2006. I understand it was revolutionnary (more than HL2 to my opinion) with its graphics, AI and physics, but I do think difficulty is cheap, as well as the 2/3 last thirds of the game, with the monsters by the ends (although there is nice levels with them. This game is too long...

    What an awesome callback! It's a rush to hear that this still stands up today. The freedom at the time and AI was incredible (if brutal!), though things got a bit 'weird' towards the end (Uncharted style!), so would love a full review. The online was an amazing sandbox with all sorts of customizable set ups (you could build full 3D obstacle courses to invite people in to try to complete with jeeps and whatnot, or just face off 1 on 1 on a small map they'd made).
    Far Cry 2 was a VERY different game, as the main developers left to make Crysis I believe. I still have it on PS3 but the legendary awful (literal) checkpoints stopped me bothering after my first few frustrating encounters, and I was never interested after they rebooted it with 3.
    Will have to check out your second channel for sure, cheers!

    I really preferred Chrome (from Techland) back in 2003 than Far Cry 1. Btw, Chrome also introduced the nanosuit way before Crytek did in Crysis. The funny thing is that Techland removed the game from their history. I suggest you it gives it a try if you didn't play it. The movement is more like sliding, but the gameplay and story are pretty good (and fun). However, the old version doesn't work very good on new OS, but if you download the Advanced Battlegrounds The Future of Combat (which is the same game with all patches applied) it will run smoothly on new Windows versions.
