Far Cry 3 is an open world first-person shooter set on an island unlike any other. A place where heavily armed warlords traffic in slaves. Where outsiders are hunted for ransom. And as you embark on a desperate quest to rescue your friends, you realize that the only way to escape this darkness… is to embrace it.
Explore a diverse island playground, from mountain ranges and swampy grasslands to white sandy beaches. Discover relics, hunt exotic animals, play mini-games and travel quickly by land, sea or air. Fight your way through the island’s towns, temples, river ports and more! - Ігри
Fuck me games were gorgeous in 2002.
IKR. I'd be begging my parents to get me this game when I was 7.
wh3nderson95 Never mind my parents I'd be begging the treasury to pool enough money for a computer good enough to run this
Dibby D Damn.
Yup he sure messed that up.
Dibby D exactly
Jason isn't supposed to be relatable. I know this is a nitpick, But if you thought a spoiled, obnoxious rich kid with super rich friends and a super model girlfriend was supposed to be even remotely relatable, then I think you've misinterpreted the purpose of his character. Especially since his character development has him slowly devolve into a mass murdering sociopath
Exactly what I was thinking.I also can't imagine how they thought the good ending is Jason going back to his rich kid life in South California now that he loves murder and explosions.He couldn't adapt anymore now that all of his talk topics are about that one time he killed 20 people and 6 dogs to give an outpost to a group of island savages who don't even have footwear and are drugged out of their minds.
Well hopefully he takes his skills to the military or contracting work. That way he hopefully mitigates collateral damage in the future.
He was relatable in a sense that he’s still a normal person without combat training in a fucked up situation and somehow overcoming it
I related to him more like a adventurous slacker who does not know who he is but has to awaken the warrior within to rescue his friends and family form a dangerous psychopath but when he has to do even more dark shit he becomes dissolution with the warrior lifestyle but in the end he finds out that deep down he is better then that.
@@vladimirdan1959 What he is a man who would go to war for his family.
wait are you saying most aussies aren't like that?

Don't forget the spiders, octopus and jellyfish too.
the worst we got are jackals and vipers here
did he say 2002 ? O.o
Yes, yes he did
He meant to say 2012.
haha he said 2002!
Game looks really good for 2002
Best looking game of the decade XD
Also, Vaas dies WAY too early in the story and his South African replacement is a poor imitation.
+Larry Bundy Jr That has to be the biggest letdown of Far Cry 3 for me. Vaas was such an awesome character - Awesome actor too.
Mansen
He's supposed to be a really nice guy in real life too! My friend who works for Eurogamer has met him a couple of times and he said he's quite a laugh to be with! :)
***** :D
+Larry Bundy Jr I would genuinely like to know the creative decision behind that, because it strikes me as very bizarre.
The way Vaas is approached and handled, he easily comes across as being the main antagonist of the story and presumably will end up being the "final boss" of the game. The whole act of killing him off at that point came across as a rushed decision or someone from upper management wanting something, because everything there after was far weaker than what had been done up to that point.
Cyanide Blizzard
Maybe they thought the story was too short and tacked on the second part, or maybe (and knowing Ubisoft more likely) it was meant to be sold as DLC originally, but they knew they'd get a lot of bad press for it as it is the second half of the game.
Would explain why the two parts are so disconnected.
I'll take Jason over the nonexistent character of Ajay any day
True.
+The Avid Gamer That's the charm of Jason, though. He's a SoCal yuppie piece of shit that you hate playing as, but I'd take that over the indisposed serial killer that Ajay is from the get-go.
I don't know why Far Cry 3 looks and feels so much better than 4 and fucking Primal, maybe because those latter are just fucking Far Cry 3 re-hash.
+zZiL341yRj736 Yup. Where as Far Cry 1,2 and 3 were relatively different from each other.
Personally I thought Jason was a good character he is just a typical California partier who does not take anything serious until he is forced to do so by vaas. Ajay is kind of bland.
Far Cry 3 came out in 2002? Need to hit that Google son
+Siriwet “ChocolateMan” Corkill he gon be mad son!
+Siriwet “ChocolateMan” Corkill This seriosuly made me doubt myself. haha
+Siriwet “ChocolateMan” Corkill I know when it came out, it's just a simple mistake.
10/10 grafics 2002, mistakes were made lol , Great video mate :)
+Gggmanlives it's understandable, 2002 so had graphics like far cry 3 lol
I actually enjoyed all the hundreds of collectibles especially the Japanese letters. They gave you a kind of narrative on what happened in the island earlier. But they could have done so much more with the letters like developing a dedicated quest chain that allows you explore more on the Japanese experiments, just seem like a missed opportunity. Everything else in this game i loved. This was the perfect FPS for me.
"Microsoft windowed"? What are you saying, sonny Jim?
Released in 2002 for Microsoft windowed
Was still under the influence ... after the flame thrower mission...
"Should I be offended because ? No I shouldn't because it's a video game."
This should be some kind of real life EULA where it pops up at birth and you have to agree with it for the rest of your life otherwise...
Some people get so easily offended by stupid things in stupid things...
Good Graphics for 2002! Anyway, great review as always.
it came out in 2012
We know it came out in 2012. But he says 2002, are you deaf? :P
@@redwaldcuthberting7195 because you hear comments instead of reading them.
He says it in the video not a comment, but nice try. -_-
@@vuilnisgod4388 gman says 2002 in the video
Would have been better to play as Jason's brother Grant more believable since he was a soldier so actually had combat training.
to be fair, he would have been a killing machine from the start.
***** yeah, that would have been arguably better.
Anyone even mildly trained with guns could take on the pirates IMO, the Mercs on the other hand would be a bitch.
That would've ruined the whole concept of the game dude.

love the videos, currently watching your farcry and crysis videos, very happy to see people looking back on games of my youth.
will be subbed to see what is coming.
Thanks for subbing!
Finchnz did you become old in 2012?
Cool, it is refreshing to see a Far Cry 3 review a few years later. So, Gggmanlives, Keeping it fresh as usual.
Make fucking up the release date a trend in your videos Gman, please.
I cant stop laughing at these comments.
+trabuco9 yep , Gggmanlives should definitely consider doing this just like a minor gimmick or something........or maybe he's already doing it ???
Very good review. Nuanced, deep but to the point at every level.
You are really talented at writing the review scripts.
This review definitely convinced me to give this game fourth shot. I'm one of those guys who never made it to the second island lol. You mentioned that the second half is a bit limp, but the missions in the first half were at times very tedious, à la GTA V, though that pot field mission is fucking incredible. The best times to be had in Far Cry 3 are taking over outposts or driving around the island and stumbling into shit, in my opinion.
Sigh, that is the problem with most current games, 80% side quests and 20% main quest... It should be the other way around!
3:07 BOO HOO... I had to play through BF3 campaign killing my own People
+kasra khatir HAHA!
U Russian or something?
@@Oh-xp3fv I believe he's Persian/Iranian.
I loved vaas and I didn't mind that he died too early, i think they didnt overuse his character which made his moments much more memorable, it felt like a arc ending
Man, you've been goofing up your release years a few times lately. :P
+Aedan Clarke I've literally done it twice in 200+ videos.
Gggmanlives Oh, pardon me, I implied you'd done it three times in 200+ videos instead of 2 times in 200+ videos. I should've used a 'couple' instead.
+Aedan Clarke Or you could just comment on the other 9 minutes of the review?
Gggmanlives I would've, had I found anything that I wanted to say. But it's just another good review with no controversial statements or opinions for me to respond to.
+Aedan Clarke BREAKING NEWS.
TF2 Has a psychotic Australian Gunman! This is the Most racist thing I have ever seen in my life. Please go shame the developer valve for being so Unpolitcally correct!
Starting the flamethrower mission and hearing Skrillex and Marley playing had me laugh out loud and will remain one of my favorite gaming moments ever.
excellent review, you are one of the only reviewers who gives completely honest opinions :)
Hey gman, loved the review! I've been following your Far Cry series reviews and they are awesome. I just have a suggestion for a correction however, I believe it runs on the Dunia engine not the "Junia" engine. It could be an accent thing though :P.
Thanks for reigniting my love for fps games my friend, nice to find a channel I enjoy. cheers sonny jim.
Ubisoft: Do you know the very definition of insanity? Is to do the same thing over and over again expecting the same result.
Also Ubisoft: Makes basically the same game over and over again.
Well, in their case it works though because every AC or FC they put out is a success.
I can't in good conscience like this video because you didn't use the phrase "Sonny Jim."
Well. Sonny Jim. That is where you appear to have fucked up.
Dude i saw 2 vids of yours and i immediately sub'd. You are very good and i just though that i should tell. Keep up
Thanks!
Far Cry 3 is a timeless masterpiece. On its surface it’s another rescue FPS. But once you start playing, you start going down the same rabbit hole Jason falls into. In the time I’ve played it, I’ve noticed there other important themes: Insanity, addiction, and manipulation. As it was portrayed in Alice in Wonderland, everything was mad, or irrational, even Alice. Both Jason and Alice deny those however and both begin to indulge in the fact they’re the only ones who are in control of their environment. Jason does this by capturing outposts, killing pirates, and taking drugs. Which leads to the theme of addiction. Far Cry 3 is a game self aware, meant to draw in the player. The Rook Islands are said to be a place where you can do anything, much like a video game world. Buck even says, “I’m not playing the bloody game, you are. I’m just a spectator.” Under the influence of drugs, killing, and rituals, he seemingly becomes stronger, and thus becomes addicted to his role as savior of the islands. Of course, he was also easy for Citra and the Rakyat to manipulate. Dennis tells Jason he is special because he was given the Tatau. Citra lures Jason into the promise of power and glory for exacting his revenge of Vaas, and killing Hoyt in the name of the Rakyat. By the end of it all, Jason has become the perfect killing machine, just as Citra and the Rakyat intended. Thus you are left with a choice; save your friends, leave the island, and return to society from whence you came, or kill your friends (cutting you off from the last remnants of society), stay with Citra and let the insanity of the islands consume you entirely. Vaas said to Jason that insanity was doing the exact same thing over and over expecting things to be different. This is exactly what Jason was doing when he decided to continue his killing spree. But by the end of it all, things were barely any different. These make Far Cry 3 in my opinion one of the greatest video games of all time. In short: it’s like watching a movie written by Stanley Kubrick and directed by Michael Bay, and it didn’t suck.
Anyone else gonna talk about how he said that “Farcry 3 was released in 2002”?
great videos man 😉 you are the best
your reviews are awesome man
i like your reviews as they are as truthful as the actual game :)
Great review, please could you review Spec Ops: The Line, thanks again been a subscriber for a while now
I got into this game when the commercials came out for Far Cry 4 on the telly. It looked fun but I knew better to just get the last game to see if I liked it at a reduced cost. ^_^ Great review by the way.
I was watching "Better Call Saul" the other day and saw this actor that I couldn't place. It wasn't until about halfway through the first episode that I realized "Hey! That's fucking Vaas!". It's that voice man, it's very recognizable.
I still think think this is the best Far Cry and best Ubisoft game
Great review man. What part of Australia do you live in?
Vaas was the best thing in the series. FC2 is the best mercenary sim out there, and was the most realistic. FC1 was one of xbox's best titles. FC 3 is good fun, but is very video-gamey. It's worst offense was that outposts and their patrols were permanently destroyed, meaning that the once alive feeling island is never dangerous after the first visit. FC2 didn't need any more check points because of its modest size. I play without them, and only a few minutes are added to a mission. FC2 doesn't get the love from players it deserves.
2002 is not until next year mate.
One of the better games from the awful year that was 2012.
True. At least Spec Ops The Line and MGS HD Collection came out.
GuyOnAChair
MGS doesn't count. It came out the year before that. Mark of the Ninja and Dust An Elysian Tale were good.
+GuyOnAChair Spec Ops was an amazing game marketed horribly but caught many people off-guard
+civilwarfare101 Awful? Far Cry 3, The Walking Dead, Dishonored, Sleeping Dogs, XCOM, Spec Ops: The Line, Max Payne 3, Borderlands 2. That really doesn't seem like a bad year.
Max Payne
I mentioned FC3 in the beginning post. Most of those games are overrated especially Dishonored. I am not forgetting awful games like Resident Evil 6, Ninja Gaiden 3, Hitman Absolution, Silent Hill Downpour, Assassin's Creed 3.
Damn! Graphics were amazing in 2002!
it was a mistake he ment to say 2012
see if graphics was that good in 2002 we would have been living on another planet by now
Played Far Cry 1 in 2006. I still remember most of the names of the people in it: Jack Carver, Doyle, Valerie, Krieger. I still remember each of the fantastically designed levels by heart. Played Far Cry 3 in early 2015 for 50 hours (according to Steam). Had a lot of fun. Don't remember a thing though.
1:06 2002? Are you reading your script late at night again?
Imagine if this game got released like this in 2002, just put out there. It would blow everyone's mind back then
You just reminded me how much I loved this game when it came out. I think I'm gonna reinstall it.
I just started a new run of this after discovering my long ago in progress second run was lost when I had to reset my PS3 to factory default a few years ago. (My Internet connection went down during a system update) I'm glad they removed weapon degradation and jamming because Far Cry 2 was one of those games where the gun jam rate was so absurdly high that games where the guns never jam are actually more realistic. I hate how easy it is to take fall damage. I swear sometimes it feels like falling off my kitchen table would be enough to knock Jason down a health bar section or more.
I never knew you could fast travel but now it makes sense
It actually does make sense if you miss a shot and they know where you are. Play a pvp multiplayer game. One of the best ways to find someone hiding is to bait them to shoot at you so you can locate their position
dat Skrillex *WUB WUB* song always gets me
It's sort of explained in the collectables and notes that Rook Island had some strange effect of turning people insane over time.
YES! Your reviewing my favourite game in the series.
GGG destroys feminists method of thinking.
I approve.
He destroyed SJWs as a whole.
+Low Grit Sandpaper Indeed.
This is the game that started all the xp system, skill point, checklist filling open world games coming out non stop
This was my favorite FC so far, the gunplay and maps were se enjoyable.
And yeah, the "stealth" system was so refined, that you can take over an outpost using an RPG without being detected. Seriously, and its far more effective.
good review, hey, you should totally check out the splinter cell series :)
Far Cry 3 came out in 2012 messed up little bit but great video loved this game
That guy playing Vaas is awesome in better call saul as well. And was one of the only highlights of that silly clones show orphan black or whatever it's called
Damn those 2002 game engies was wild times for those graphics.
Great review GGG, as usual =D.
Nice review!
I loved this game, I even liked the story. Jason actually evolved as a character.
Absolutely love Far Cry 3 and watching this made me want to play it again for like the 8th time. Vaas is just one of the most amazingly well done characters that I think exists, though he is killed WAAY too early and frankly the weird boss fight didn't feel right. The vicious stabbing is dank though
Cool review, keep it up! ^^
Love this game. Enjoyed it more then 4. Needed to mention the outstanding sound track
Top notch sound design for the weapons in this game.
Not too shabby.
6:47 dude, that's Skyrims stealth gameplay in a nutshell
I've only played 2 and 3 but I gather from every Far Cry game they take core gameplay differently. 2 had you pulling up a map every 20 seconds with bizarre gps accuracy but its a fun game. 3 had an excellent narrative behind all the superb gameplay. Primal hasn't appealed to me but seems like an alright idea.
far cry 3 was developed by Ubisoft montreal in...
*2002*
for the
*xbox360 and PS3*
2002? hot shit thats like 6 years before far cry 2 and 2 years before far cry 1
Great review !
Did I hear.. 2002? Such a fabled game? Holy.
Michael Mando, the best voice actor for a villan I've ever heard.
Didn't see the film, but I can imagine him not being that suited for a calmer character as he really shines when playing intense, agressive and psychological roles. It's in his blood. )
Wow, I can't believe this game came out in 2002!
FC3 made me a fan of Michael Mando long before Better Call Saul even began 🙂
forgot to mention the co op and multiplayer part
I just finished playing FC3 and must say I did enjoy it. As the commentator pointed out, the stealth is very good opposed to the previous ones where I'd be crawling half a mile away from the enemy then all of a sudden you hear the assholes yelling "There he is!!! Get him!!!
Hey, gggman! I would encourage you to check out the doom mod Skulldash! It's a really cool arcade style WAD I came across that has some really cool twists on Doom gameplay. I beat the whole thing and had a blast, I bet you'd like it too!
Do you know the definition of insanity, man i fucking loved this game. may have get it for my pc.
I remember playing this and not knowing that there are crocodiles in it.
Needless to say it scared the shit out of me the first time i encountered it
One of the most special games I've ever played. Besides Crysis 2, Dead Space 1 & 2, FarCry 2, Bioshock and Dying Light.
I hope they'll convert the PC version in an improved and extended version for the Xbox Scorpio. I'd love that a lot.
Fans want more Vaas.
I really enjoyed this game. After I finished it I imediatelly started playing again to try new things. If you watch the tv show "Better Call Saul", you'll see him (Nacho, the guy who helps Tuco).
"Far cry 3 was released in 2002"
" years later I noticed that tiny mistake in pronunciation there :)
The second act really dropped the ball when you had so much fun with the first one.
man 8:52 that tiger took alotta abuse before kicking the bucket
The only real problem with this game is when you take out all the outposts there are no more bad guys to shoot, they fixed that in later games though
I can see why people don't like the story, but for me, I loved it. I guess it has to do with how much you immerse yourself in the environment and the progression, and the playstyle you want to take it.
Can't get of an island with your friends because of a guy named Vass better call Saul.
I didn’t know games looked this good in 2002
Great review. Though just wanted to note the 2002 release date goof. Just like in the Following review.
Have you tried playing this with Ziggy's Mod? It makes this a lot tougher and you feel more like some schmuck fighting an army.
Yeah it's pretty cool how Jason basically becomes Rambo.
I with Ubisodt would make a special Xbox One version of this game with updated graphics.
looks great for 2002
it came out in 2012
PureDragonn, it's sarcasm.
They should make farcry game with Vaas as the main character, kinda like a Scarface story of how he came to be as he is in farcry3.
I'm currently playing this game on pc.
Released in 2002? this game really was ahead of its time
FarCry 3 was one of the best FPSs I've ever played. Especially the characters and the voice acting, Vas is a brilliant character, a sort-of likeable violent psychopath, that you hate, but you somehow appreciate at the same time. It was the pinnacle of open world games for me as well (not necessarily the mechanics, but the feel of the world and what you do with it), for example the mission when you set a field of marry jane on fire with a flamer and the dubstep suddenly kicks in, little things like that. Also the fact that you change as you go, by the end you become like Vas, another psychopath killer, just helping the natives instead of being a pirate ... anyway, 10/10 for me : )
Kris Rudecki 8 out of 10 for me
I like this game a lot! It's my favorite of the series!
