  • Far Cry is now officially 20 years old!!! The original Far Cry released on March 23rd, 2004 and in this video I take a quick revisit to the game that started it all, and reflect on the series and how it's changed over the years. Far Cry has especially interesting origins as it was originally created by Crytek before they went on to make the Crysis series and Ubisoft continued the Far Cry franchise with Far Cry 2 in 2009. The result being that the original Far Cry is a very different type of game; thematically, tonally, and aesthetically from the rest of the series and it's fascinating to see how it has aged in the 20 years since it's release. Anyone else feel old???

    Nice video, although the first Far Cry is ignored by some of the newer fans, it's a game that deserves more appreciation.
    Small correction: the first Far Cry made by Ubisoft was Instincts, which is a sort of Remake or Reimagining of the original.

    I completed this game 3 times and this game difficulty is terrifying. The monsters are insane. Even though they are so scary, I played this game at 13 years old and was scared when the monsters were coming to kill me. But this was also very fun to play on those ages, and this video makes me nostalgic.

    Far Cry 1 LAN parties at home were some of my best gaming memories. Trying to bazooka the speedboats zipping through the river from somewhere in the trees was hilarious. Sometimes I just liked playing with the map editor for a few hours cuz like you said, it was and is really pretty. There was only 1 other kid at my school I knew who played it, but he was the biggest nerd.

    Far Cry 1 was amazing when it came out, i remember some reviewers saying something like "graphics won't get any better than this" ^^
    But i would say FC3 popularized the franchise more than 2. It set the blueprint for open world genres and I think it's the most fondly remembered one in the franchise, even though it also has its flaws when you would play it right now.

    I'm old and have been playing far cry for 20 years. Controversially, my favorite is Far Cry New Dawn, but I've spent the most time in FC5, not to mention the brilliant Arcade. Thanks to Far Cry, my PC has been upgraded regularly, like every time a new Far Cry comes out :-D

    Something I will say about the Trigens when I was growing up.
    The concept of the flood in Halo was terrifying but they never scared me in game.
    The Trigens scared the absolute shit out of me when I was a kid to the point I considered not playing without my dad there.
    Then the necromorphs got the best of both worlds, mortifying in concept and "I don't wanna be here anymore, I wanna go home" in game.

      Well, in Far Cry from 3 on you are an unstoppable, super-powered killing machine with completely superior strength, skill and senses. None of the enemies can individually even remotely compete with you, and because of that, it's not much of a challenge. To me personally, this does not work when you're supposed to be a stranded tourist without any military expierience. But it does when you are an 80s movie cyberg action hero.

    I played this game on the Xbox one and it worked really well there were no problems from what I remember. So it probably more available than it was before. I personally enjoyed Farcry one but the difficulty spick made the game a lot more difficult that it needed to be. That final level is damn near impossible. Yet even with that it was still a really good game I even played its spin off which feels like a remake with a unique mechanic.

    To start it off, Far cry 1 is older than me 5 years. But this was the first PC game i ever played, i was introduced to the game by my dad when i was 6 years old, my dad would always play it with me and even sometimes i would be scared to play it by myself because of the trigens that when i think of it now is very funny because i remember it. I also had the original copy of the dvd to the game wich is really cool to have but i lost it sadly. When i first finished the game i was so happy and i would talk it to my friends about the game then they would come to my house and play it together and have the time of our childhood. and now i am 15 and still have the game installed on steam and play it sometimes to complete it again i would also speedrun it and go through te memories and have nostalgia. To Everyone that thinks about buying it or starting the far cry series i would strongly recommend this as the first part to play.

    This game got a lot of buzz when it first released because of the visuals. I was lucky enough to have a high-end rig when I played this the year it released, I had a 2.8GHz Pentium 4 with a Radeon 9800 Pro video card. I was also impressed with the visuals but I also liked that it was semi-open world (like you say) where there was often some freedom of how you could approach situations. I also remember it as being very difficult, especially in the second half of the game. I was finally able to beat it on the lowest difficulty setting (which was hard), but then a few years later I played again and could not beat the final level LOL.

    I got into Far Cry through 2 and 3, but when I tried the original, I was hooked! I loved the TriGens, I thought they added to the game. In later games you're just fighting people. All the time, people, with the occasional animal attack to shake things up. Blood Dragon had the...well, Blood Dragons, and they were cool, but that's kind of it. I wish Far Cry would go nuts with the enemies again.

  • @TheEbbemonster
    @TheEbbemonster Місяць тому

    I love this game as it balances openess and novelness. In games like FarCry 3+ you have to go through the same areas again, and again, and again.... In FarCry each area feels new and refined.
    Also, the story is a throwback to 90s and 80s action movies with one-liners, as well as to games like Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior.
    Today all games have to be multiplayer only with lootboxes or open world. The narrative driven gave is almost dead :(

    I never played any of the Far Cry's before Primal, and only ever really completed and enjoyed Far Cry 6, so I'm biased and late to the party. However I had a tonne of fun in Just Cause 1 when that came out and this game totally reminds me of it. It was over the top and silly but the map was huge for its time and incredibly fun to mess around in.

    I liked the first far cry, even though I preferred the 2. I played it in 2004 and completed it in 2006, as I was locked at home a summer after surgery. The physics and lighting were so impressive. I would rather have a remake of FC1 and FC2 than of FCE3.

    I first saw some pictures of Far Cry in a magazine. I was blown away by the graphics. I had never heard about the game and I felt like it came out of nowhere. It was really good. I love that the game is linear but open enough to explore. I didn't like far cry 2 that much. I didn't like the open world and the enemy outposts you had to fight all the time.
