Im going to start off my blog with a review of Far Cry 3 for the Xbox 360, PC and PS3. This is not my most current gaming experience, but one to forget it is not. Currently being ranked one of the Top 5 FPS's of this console generation its an evolutionary jump for "Big Name" titles. Aside from all of its incredible achievement's, it is overall, one the greatest and most immersive titles I have played on the 360 to date.
I'll start with talks of the extreme and unpredictable open-world concept they seemed to have mastered. Although standing biased, I have never been a fan of RPG's or the like. Having missed the Fallout and Oblivion titles almost perpetually, I have seemed to warm up to the idea of a sprawling RPG with the way it's parts are displayed within this game. The intuitive wildlife was one of the larger grasps for my attention as I was constantly surprised with how this "interfered" with the gameplay. For intstance; creeping up on an enemy camp and out of the corner of my eye witnessing a tiger also creeping into the camp and then watching from the bushes as this tiger eliminates all of the enemies within. Along with bursting animals out of cages in enemy outposts and battling them in this incredible and vast landscape I have to say that overall the animal AI was pulled off astonishingly.
With that said, the AI altogether created a fantasy world come alive. Enemy AI didnt just stand around waiting to be killed. On the contrary they were able on many occasions to flank my character in an attempt to out-smart me. But as I am a seasoned veteran in this shit, I demolished all who encountered my awesomeness.
Something I've also noticed is that these islands seem to be inspired by Papua New Guinea. This game, im sure, has already been played by most whom would be reading this, so you would already know what all this game has to offer in terms of weapon and inventory crafting, along with hunting and side missions, so I won't bore you with the details.
This "experience" is also in my mind one of the greatest achievement's in console history among the likes of game changers like Assassins Creed, Shadows of the Colossus and Mario Bros. if I am to be so bold.
As a lowly gamer and a fanboy extraordinaire, I solute all whom support the gaming industry and this game and its developers.
HACK THE PLANET!!!!
