For me,I preferred 3. Better story. Min is a great character but he isint in it long enough. Vaas,albeit should have been the main bad guy,was a fantastic character and he had a bigger presence in 3 then Min had in 4. 4 story is quite poor in my opinion,I know vast majority play these games for the free roam aspect of the game but at least 3 had a good story to go along with the great gameplay.

Gameplay in both is really enjoyable. Outposts is the standout for me. And 4 added forts to the mix which are tough if you take them on without taken out the respective 'boss' for each fort. The use of bait,attracting a bear,tiger or a mighty honey badger,to attack nearby enemies was a good touch. There is lots to do in the game,a lot of side missions. The hunting missions are really good too which you will need to do to upgrade your kit. The map is huge and because of the location of the game you get to see a lot of impressive visuals. The Himalayan missions are standout for me.

Overall a very enjoyable game,just don't expect a great story. That's the only downside

"Our great and glorious King who has risked his life and limb to bring Kyrat out of the past. He sacrifices everything for his adopted homeland and loves its people like his own children. May Pagan's light shine upon you all."- Quote from Pagan Min

I remember very well playing Far Cry 3 for the very first time and it has to be the best experience I ever had with a game, and it was my number favorite game of 2012. I was really really looking forward to this game and I was literally counting down the months for it's release , then I heard that the 4th game is like the third game and I mean copy and paste but with a different villain of cause. Now I have finally played the damn game that I'm be waiting for and... Far Cry 4 reminds me why I loved Far Cry 3 so much, because this is in my opinion the best game of 2014.

Yes I'm a ware that it's the same game, but I liked Far Cry 3 and this game is the same as Far Cry 3 so I liked Far Cry 4, simple as. It may not be as good as Far Cry 3 but let me tell it's pretty damn close.

What I always look forward to is the villain in these games and Pagan Min maybe the best villain of 2014. I loved his very first scene where he straps one of his soldier's in the throat and then starts apologizing to you and then takes a selfie with you. What a opening to a villain. Troy Baker played Pagan Min and boy did he do spectacular has the villain and this guy has voiced so many game character's that most of them are on my best list, this guy is awesome.

The graphs in this game are just so beautiful and so gorgeous to look at, the character modes as well look clean and fresh.

For problems? yeah like the main character of the game Ajay Ghale is a pretty bland character if I must say. I didn't really feel for him and he was kind of there and that's it.

Overall Far Cry 4 has I said may not be has good as Far Cry 3, but it dose leave you wanting another Far Cry game and in my books that's alright because I'm the same.

'Far Cry 4 (2014)' uses pretty much the same gameplay systems as its immediate predecessor, for the most part simply swapping out its story and its location. Those two factors are fairly major in setting it apart, though. This time, the thing loses all pretences of being a satirical look at the complicity in violence of its player-base, instead focusing on delivering a relatively nuanced story with more straightforward narrative theming. It also removes the 'white saviour' aspect of prior titles by having its protagonist return to the place of his birth at the start of the game. Of course, he gets caught up in a civil war, participating in bringing down a local regime simply to find some personal closure. The thing does a great job of tying these two aspects together, especially as it reaches its conclusion. It also features branching mission paths that don't change the overarching story so much as emphasise the 'give and take' aspects of each route. For example, whether you blow up a drugs farm or reclaim it - a choice between morals and money - will have ramifications for the next generation far after your time here is over. Obviously, the game and its world don't continue when you turn off your console, but they almost feel like they do; the choices you make may not have all that much impact - they don't affect the gameplay, for instance - but they still feel important. The game itself consists of clearing out bases, climbing up towers, finding hidden caches, hunting to make equipment, delivering arms to resistance fighters and working your way through the story, ultimately aiming towards a clear goal outlined at the very start of the campaign. It's highly enjoyable and doesn't get dull. The ending is actually satisfying, too. Overall, this is probably the best game in the series. 8/10

As I am from India, I was fascinated by so much of Indian vibes in the game like characters, places and language 😂.

It was fun completing the missions, storyline was properly focussed on the main objective Freedom for Kyrat.

It is set in arround beautiful mountains which again resembles Mount Everest region from India and different animals.

Playtime was about 15 hours for me, but you can still explore the vast map and try to achieve 100% completion.

The game will not get your bored.

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Far Cry 4" is a must play VG to all who enjoyed previous installments. Is big, fun, bloody, entertaining, addictive and etc. I have beated in around 30 hours, and collected ~75 off all collectives. Quests are fun, not repetitive, and very addictive. The whole open world is a massive place, it filled with hundreds of collectibles, which can help you in you progress. This game also has interesting choice system, you will have a unique quests depending on what path you will choose. By the end, i couldn't pull the trigger, hope you will know what i mean.

Overall, if you like previous installment, definitely go check this one, it's huge, gorgeous, addictive and very entertaining.

First (as usual) for my 3d review. Yes 3D works quite well using nVision That means glasses and a good 120 Hz refresh rate monitor. You may need to download the 3D wrapper from Helix. If you have been following my reviews you will know of Helix. 3D isn't perfect but it is far better than boring old 2D. Your weapon does not stick out of the monitor and over your keyboard like many other titles. This seems to be an ongoing problem because new games use shadows and lighting to such a degree these days. Turn depth up all the way and convergence... well turn it up as high as it will go before the whole scene seems to turn back in on itself. In other words turn it up as high as you feel comfortable with. Now for the main game review... Phew is this game full on or what? It seems like such a major departure from FC1. No one-way hallway linear shoot/kill business here! You are faced with a massive array of quests, side quests locations - skills - upgrades that at first it can seem all too much but fear not. Just head out and choose a destination or quest and before you know it two hours has come and gone like that! Add to the whole experience some of the most amazing sites, graphics and textures and you have yourself probably the biggest thing in gaming since Pong! You may start your session with one goal in mind but you will end up completing a half dozen other quests even without trying such is the plethora of entertainment in Far Cry 4. This game is worth every cent and if you cannot find at least a bit of enjoyment then perhaps Windows solitaire might be your style. You can make this game as hard or as easy as you like depending on how ambitious you are. It seems that at times the action and all else becomes a little tedious when all at once you are thrown into a mind bending scenario designed to make one push forward. The only draw back is the very occasional bug and the endless array of baddies wanting to take you out Ajay when in reality all you want to do is find 'X'. Ming be damned for he is one bad Pagan. Ten well cooked rubber chickens from this reviewer.

I'd never played one before but my friend insisted I had to buy this one so we could play together -- he wanted to take advantage of the co-op. Truthfully, I went expecting to hate it. Just didn't seem up my alley. In reality, I ended up really enjoying myself. Not a masterpiece but still a great time!

Ubisoft, you mad bastards you've done it again. Far Cry 4 is oficially one of my favorite games of all time. The story is so intriguing, and the action is unique with lots of styles. I love this game, and I really hope you do too. I will not give spoilers, but this truly will stand the test of time.

A few months ago I played and finished Far Cry 4, from the beginning to end I was loving it! Now, voice acting isn't spot on as well as animation, but what can you fully expect from a game of 2014? All and all amazing!

I feel myself wandering around in a haze of, "huh?" after each interaction with these mush mouthed characters, especially the DJ, Rabi Ray. Amita, the two crank heads, Longinus or whatever, all deliver their lines far too quickly as well- thank God for subtitles but still, the atrocious accents make it seem like a Far Cry from English.

Far cry 4 took everything good the previous installment had had and made it better. It's bloody, funny and serious at the same time, with charismatic characters and beautiful locations.

Far Cry 4 builds upon the excitement and chaos of its predecessor, delivering a breathtaking adventure set in the stunning, rugged mountains of Kyrat. This game captures the spirit of exploration and survival, bringing a new cultural richness to the series. With the allure of ancient temples, vibrant forests, and perilous cliffs, Far Cry 4 immerses players in a world that feels as dangerous as it is beautiful.

The standout element in Far Cry 4 is the dynamic between the protagonist, Ajay Ghale, and the flamboyant yet tyrannical villain, Pagan Min. Pagan is a fascinating antagonist-charismatic, unpredictable, and deeply unsettling, with his own twisted sense of humor that makes every interaction memorable. His presence looms over Kyrat, giving each mission a heightened sense of urgency as you navigate this war-torn region to fulfill your late mother's wishes.

The gameplay in Far Cry 4 is more refined, with improved mechanics that make every encounter more intense and varied. New additions like riding elephants into battle and using a grappling hook to explore the mountainous terrain add fresh layers of fun and chaos. Liberating outposts and fortresses is as thrilling as ever, and the addition of co-op play allows for even more strategic takedowns, whether you're using stealth or diving into all-out warfare.

If there's a minor critique, it's that the storyline can sometimes feel overshadowed by the scale of the open world, making Ajay's personal motivations occasionally take a backseat to side quests and exploration. However, this doesn't detract much from the experience, as Kyrat's open world is rich with stories waiting to be uncovered.

In summary, Far Cry 4 takes players on a wild ride through the Himalayan peaks, offering plenty of chaotic fun, engaging combat, and memorable characters. It's a worthy successor to Far Cry 3 and a fantastic addition to the series that will keep you coming back for more high-altitude thrills.

Some might say it's Far Cry 3.5 or Far Cry 3.1. But to me, it's just a glorified mod for Far Cry 3. The animations are same, the characters are the same, the missions are the same, the gameplay is the same. These might get old for some.

I liked the game very much in comparison with other Ubisoft releases this year. I didn't notice any bug or graphics glitch. The graphic design was amazing. A beautiful vast open world with so many mysteries. Many people worried that absence of Vaas is a downer. And yes it is. But Pagan Min is also a fantastic antagonist. Ubisoft advertised him cleverly, saying he is "Anti-Vaas". Where the truth is Pagan is a lot like Vaas. The story is touchy, but felt cheap in a way.

For some reasons Far Cry 4 annoyed me a lot. For starter it depicts Nepal in a wrong way. Vehicles in Nepal drive on the left. The developers completely got the design of autoricksaws wrong. And Kalinga should speak Sanskrit. The Radio Free Kyrat is the most annoying part. That RJ is the worst RJ in the history of the world. I miss Brian Tyler's musical score.

Other than those, Far Cry 4 is a regular Ubisoft open world game. With the obvious game structure.

Final Verdict: 79%. If you feel like you couldn't get enough of Far Cry 3, then this game might not be for you. The campaign is kinda depressing.

After being pleasantly surprised by Far Cry 3, my anticipation for Far Cry 4 was high. This installment takes place in a fictional country inspired by Nepal, where you return to pay your respects to your late mother, only to encounter Pagan Min, the game's main antagonist. What follows is a tense encounter that leads you to join the resistance and embark on a quest to overthrow him.

Gameplay-wise, Far Cry 4 feels very similar to its predecessor. While there are some improvements and new abilities, the core mechanics largely mirror those of Far Cry 3. This isn't necessarily a bad thing-if you enjoyed the previous game, you'll likely appreciate the familiar feel of combat, exploration, and crafting. However, it's hard not to notice that Ubisoft seems to be sticking to a well-worn formula, raising questions about the series' innovation.

The game features a variety of content, including a main narrative, side quests, and numerous activities. These activities range from base capturing and animal hunting to racing and arena combat. The action set pieces are engaging, and the main missions deliver thrilling moments, though they include more exposition than in the past. While this adds some depth to the story, it can also slow the pace at times.

Technically, the game performs well, with improved graphics that enhance the visual experience. However, it's worth noting that a jungle environment generally offers more vibrant visuals than the mountainous landscapes featured in this game. The soundtrack is serviceable, though it may not leave a lasting impression. The voice acting is strong, particularly Troy Baker's performance as Pagan Min, which adds a compelling dimension to the character.

The addition of new gameplay elements, such as flying a gyrocopter and riding elephants, injects some fresh excitement into the experience. These features allow for engaging gameplay moments and contribute to the overall enjoyment of the game.

In terms of story, while I found the narrative in Far Cry 3 to be more compelling, Far Cry 4's story is still worth engaging with. It has its highlights and twists, but I won't delve into specifics to avoid spoilers.

I spent about 30 hours completing the game, and while I enjoyed my time with it, I couldn't shake the feeling that the sequel curse was in play. The experience lacked the same sense of novelty that I felt during my playthrough of the previous installment.

Overall, I'd rate Far Cry 4 an 8/10. It offers a solid gameplay experience with familiar mechanics and engaging set pieces, but it doesn't quite capture the same magic as its predecessor. If you're a fan of the series, you'll find plenty to enjoy; just don't expect a groundbreaking leap forward.

I found the game bad, superficial and really reptitive. The only good point is the open world but thats it. The vilain is so cliché: they dont know how to make a good vilain since far cry 3. Thats so ashame. Its pretty stupid and the story too. I didnt get into it and i couldnt finish the game.

I've played far cry 4 to find it has all of the same mechanics of far cry 3 but without the fun plot, interesting setting, or satisfying weapons. This remains the only video game I regret buying.

After the fabulous third entry in the far cry series Far Cry 4 does not manage to catch my interest mainly because of the boring ubisoft formula drained openworld. The story also is just standard and the gameplay is the same as in Far Cry 3. I stopped playing after two hours because I don't have time to waste on this mediocre game. What begun as a great gaming series ended up quickly into only another cash cow ubisoft can melk forever.

When you are seeking a good open world game play Horizon Zero Dawn, Ghost of Tsushima, Zelda Breath of the Wild or Lego City Undercover but please do not waste your time with this.
