Far Cry 3 was a smash hit in 2012, but does it hold up to its reputation? I went back to Far Cry 3 in 2021 to answer the question: was it really THAT good?

Far Cry 3 is a 2012 first-person shooter developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is the third main installment in the Far Cry series. The game takes place on the fictional Rook Islands, a tropical archipelago which can be freely explored by players. Gameplay focuses on combat and exploration. Players can use a variety of weapons to defeat human enemies and hostile wildlife, and the game features elements found in role-playing games such as skill trees and experience. After a vacation goes awry, protagonist Jason Brody must save his friends, who have been kidnapped by pirates, and escape from the island and its unhinged inhabitants.
Ubisoft Montreal collaborated with Ubisoft’s global development team, including Massive Entertainment, Ubisoft Shanghai, Ubisoft Bucharest, Ubisoft Reflections and Red Storm Entertainment. The game’s development was partially restarted in 2010 after the departure of several key creative staff. The team evaluated the feedback for Far Cry 2 and identified areas that needed to be improved or removed. The team spent considerable time designing the island, which they described as the “second most important character” in the game. Inspirations were taken from films and TV shows such as Apocalypse Now and Lost, as well as video games The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption. Michael Mando was hired to portray Vaas, an antagonist the team compared to Darth Vader.
The game was announced in June 2011 and Ubisoft promoted the game with various companion apps, webseries and crossover. It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in November 2012. The game received critical acclaim upon release, with praise directed at its characters, world design, progression, and gameplay, though its narrative and multiplayer modes received criticism. Despite weak pre-order sales, nearly 10 million copies of the game were sold. It was nominated for multiple year-end accolades including Game of the Year and Best Shooter awards by several gaming publications. Ubisoft supported the game with downloadable content and released Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, the game’s standalone expansion, in 2013. A successor, Far Cry 4 was released in November 2014. The game was re-released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in June 2018.
Far Cry 3 is a first-person shooter set on the fictional Rook Islands, a tropical archipelago controlled by bandits and pirates.[1] Players portray Jason Brody and can approach missions and objectives in a variety of ways. They can kill enemies by utilizing firearms such as assault rifles, sniper rifles, grenade launchers, rocket launchers, and explosives like land mines and grenades.[2] Alternatively, players can utilize stealth to avoid the attention of enemies. For instance, players can scout an enemy’s outpost by using a camera to mark the locations of enemies,[3] or toss rocks to distract enemies.[4] The stealth approach, which can be done by using silenced weapons and combat knives,[5] can prevent enemies from triggering alarms which call for reinforcements.[6] Skills are collected by gaining experience from completing missions and killing enemies, and are unlocked in three skill trees, themed as the Spider, the Heron, and the Shark. Each skill tree upgrades different aspects of Jason’s abilities, with the Spider upgrading his stealth takedowns and hunting skills, the Shark upgrading assault takedowns and health, and the Heron upgrading his long-range takedowns and mobility.[7]

First
Yes, the answer is yes.
1st
Early.
Ubisoft dissed themselves by saying insanity is doing the same thing over and over again lol.
I like this game, this is a nice f*cking game 😅
Thanks so much for the support y'all!! Lemme know if you want me to cover MORE types of games like this beyond Assassin's Creed by clicking that like button 💙
Yes it was
It's sad to see where the farcry series has gone. I liked 3 and 4 but the ones after that felt so devoid of personality. Hoping that 6 will be different.
yes. currently playing it
Yes both the world making and storyline were amazing
Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 5 are my favourite Far Cry games ❤
Let's hope Far Cry 6 will be as good as these games
I actually just finished my first playthrough and a friend is also playing it for the first time.
I beat this game (yes i counted) 17 times
my favorite far cry game <3
Why do you keep mentioning that he's white? What does that have to do with anything?
Far cry 3 and Far cry 5 are one of my favourite games of all time.
Loved 4 too.
The game is not racist or sexist, shut up. Sexist people in the game does not make the game sexist.
Nice you covered everything 👍
Loving the Friday uploads jayvee, starts off the weekend in the most perfect way! Keep up the good work mate!
They say skyrim with guns and mean far cry 3. I an intellectual, think fallout
My personal favourite in the franchise and the best in the series in my opinion.
Easy, yes it is THAT good! One of best games if all time and defo one of the best game villains ever. The feelings this game gave was amazing.
Yes
Also the big thing that puts Far Cry 3 over the newer ones, at least for me, is that it’s doesn’t overwhelm you with a billion different tools and mechanic that you can magically pull out of your ass like in Far Cry 5!
Best farcry imo
I remember this game as being incredibly fun, but having almost zero replay value.
How can we forget the Weed mission with Skrillex playing in the background
I think its considered so good to this day because every far cry after this tries to copy this one to the letter but fails since they become extremely repetitive.Rendering far cry 3 the best
Short answer: YES, yes it was.
Its a game… If someone cares more about the color of the characters skin than you do about the game, YOU my sir, are a racist… 🤷🏻♂️
No it was pretty boring, 4 and 5 was better
Great video but I think people are over thinking white kid saves people for his own gains so would anyone if they were thrown in and had to survive, kinda tired of it
Yes, more enjoyable than 5
17:24 I swear, I'd jerrked offf on her. Really that happened when I was 14 years old, and then I've some time haven't internet. You can don't believe me, but you must know that this is freaking thru. I learned every single word of this NPS. I glad that she doesn't became old for this time that we didn't meets.
I loved Far Cry 3
I wouldn’t say Jason is a white savior. He doesn’t save the Rook Islands at the end of the game, they’re still screwed. Everyone is awful.
EDIT; Hell, the more I think about it the more I come to realize that this whole game is a subversion of the “white savior” trope. As you said Citra essentially grooms Jason into becoming a killer for her cause. The Rakyat is using Jason, lying to him about his importance only to further their goals. Jason goes along with it because he believes himself to be that white savior hero archetype, when in reality he’s becoming a deranged killer. Even the ending supports this. When Jason’s done what they wanted him to do, he’s no longer of use to them. It’s only out of Citra’s twisted love for Jason that they give him the opportunity to become one of them/partake in a weird sex ritual (Vaas and Dennis were both being used like Jason was btw, it’s not exclusive to Jason. He’s not special in any way). And even then if he does that, he still dies by their hand.
I gotta say, you really do some of the best game reviews on youtube
Good work, this is assassins creed with guns.
bonus: Bryan tyler did phenomenal job doing the music score for the game. even to date i get goosebumps hearing it. the best in the farcry series imo.
Get out of here with that white saviour bullshit. He was just a guy trying to get off a war torn island.
