There are some extremely difficult parts if you just mindlessly follow the presumed path. The thing about this game is that those parts can get significantly easier or be avoided entirely if you actually explore, use your brain and get a little creative. 😃
For example, the helicopter fight on the top of the carrier in level 2 can be avoided, if you go back down, shoot the gunman in the chopper and then shoot the chains that hold the inflatable boat from the lower deck.
Same thing in level 18 where you have to defend Valerie while she activates the bomb. There are some boxes in the hallway that you can use beforehand to block the doors where the soldiers come from. If you stack 2 boxes in a row inside the door, they won't be able to push them away and leave the room and you can easily kill them at your own pace. 😁
The only difficult part that cannot be cheesed is the beginning of level 20 (the hallway with the pillars, full of shield guards).

In my head, canon Far Cry 1 isn’t canon with the rest of the Far Cry universe. The Jack Carver that became the jackal in Far Cry 2 was the Jack Carver from the Far Cry Instinct games. But in Far Cry 1 Jack Carver might exist as a movie character based on Far Cry Instinct Jack Carver's life before he became the jackal.

[@Svikter]

Far Cry 1 is something alright XD

[@A_Person7307]

Would be hilarious to imagine Jason watching this before Far Cry 3.

[@opinionpaladin6007]

I'm confused, arent both Jack Carvers super soldiers who can punch through shipping containers. Idk how that guy is the Jackal.

The replayability of this game was top notch. Needs a overhaul.

[@Svikter]

Maybe a modern remaster?

[@HollywoodGaming-fy3vt]

Great video, thanks for posting. I always gave up shortly after the Trijens came into the picture

[@Svikter]

Yeah they kinda mess up the pacing and are annoying as hell...

[@Username-ux8hc]

This little nostalgia trip has inspired me to play this again.
I have this thing where I'll play through games I used to love on the highest difficulty. Wish me luck 😅

[@Svikter]

Highest difficulty! you must like pain, but yeah the game has aged quite well

[@Username-ux8hc]

@@Svikter It is weirdly enjoyable some time I want to eat my desk, I like to learn each games and be a try hard 😅🤣

[@Svikter]

Never stop tryharding!@@Username-ux8hc

[@iranarmy9023]

one of the best game i played when i was child
i remember it was very challenging i even stuck the for months and volcano sections i couldn't beat it my dad did. but yeah i still love this game and now you made me to play this game again after years :))

[@Svikter]

Yeah the game is heaven and hell, but yeah its probably gonna be a game that I replay once a year. although never on a higher difficulty than normal, im not insane

[@scalz420]

xenus 2 white gold is like far cry with helis, boats, quads, huge spiders, ufos. massive open world. Its amazing i been making a lot of videos on it. Sorry but you prob wont like far cry very much after playing white gold

[@Svikter]

Aight, may check it out

[@TyCal_]

@@Svikter Just to add, the first Xenus game is called Boiling Point Road To Hell in certain regions. I would recommend playing that as well because generally it’s much better than the sequel

[@Svikter]

@@TyCal_ Wow yeah you can really see the similarities and how it inspired Far Cry 1

[@aweigh1010]

Fan service is good, it gatekeeps games away from the scolds.

[@imfatkid420]

My dad got me a 360 for my 14th birthday and one of tye games I got a few months later was just cause and he told me that was a real mission that a few of his buddy's where apart of he was in the army and was like a poster boy dude was a 82nd ranger delta airborne special forces he did alot and was and engineer with a m60 I think it was the big gun and he put Traicers every 3rd round one of his buddy's also took their etool and sharpened it and took the ears of their enemies and dude mailed them home on a necklace and the guys mom made him bury them. oh that guy's squad was captured and he was left for dead got up and hunted them down. there are so many storys he told me with proof for alot of them hell before I was born he traded the Idaho police C4 for a sawed off and few other guns

The swim sway is FPS dependant, unfortunately. Locking the game at 120 FPS helps reducing the issue :)
And enemies shooting through tents is a bug that Ubisoft introduced and never fixed with Patch 1.4...

[@Svikter]

Huh, I see, I thought shooting through buildings was just meant to make the game more realistic

[@deus_nsf]

@@Svikter If you feel like a brave soul, give my little fan patch collection a go, it's not "mine" as it's a collaboration of multiple people in the community including myself for some stuff. I'm not sure if links are allowed, so I'm going to describe where it is, on my channel, lastest far cry video, in the description, there's a link for it, hopepully you'll enjoy that :)

3:27 lying ahh comparisson
fucking normal 720p footage next to 240p footage to try and finesse a point
