If at the beginning of the game, if you don't move for fifteen minutes, Min will come back, you will scatter your mom's ashes and you just won the game
Is this true, cause if so, that would be amazing.
isaac garris
yes
a
isaac garris It's absolutely true. Search "far cry 4 alternate ending". I actually prefer it to the "real" endings, because it actually makes sense. A slightly unhinged dictator captures you and takes you to his house, do you A) join a guerrilla resistance movement, strap yourself with as many guns and explosives as you can carry and go to town, or B) just sit tight and hope it all works out?
I'm looking it up now, you've got me in anticipation! I can't wait to see this!
Atleast they stayed in character with Pagan's ending. He was really like "I don't know what the fuck you expect me to do now. Take Kyrat, it's yours now, I'll piss off."
Who tf would shoot Min though?
Remaining Patriot *quietly slides out of the room* I'll... uh... I'll just be goin now
@@hebrewgoldman2697 I shot Min at that end cinematic in his Palace. I didn't think the game would let me do that! I even brought the rocket launcher to blow him up in his helicopter.
I heard an eagle scream and turned around only to witness it flying off carrying a goat.
I saw one lift a fully grown boar......... Umm Ubisoft, that's not how eagles work :p
F#ck YEAGH!
I even saw one that carried mr angry whiskers away logic
Like Yahtzee says. Those fucking birds don’t give one predatory shit.
I once scouted a whole base and was ready to attack until the enemies got all aggro for some reason, I looked at the other side of the camp and a random Rhino had shown up and was like "Fuck these guys in particular" and it was so cool to watch the game sort of react to itself
Edit: I also got credit for taking the place undetected after killing one dude
Eagles are the primary predators of goats, ninjas, and Ajay Ghales.
this game would suddenly make SO MUCH more sense if the golden path followed every mission request with 'would you kindly?'
the honey badgers were more intimidating than any fortress or dictator
Joey Ray and took more damage than a freaking bear.
Adam Martin BROTHER???
Fuck Yobs deadliest thing in the game I survived wave after wave in the arena guys with machine guns, body armor, flamethrowers, tigers, bears, elephants, no problem honey badger shows up I'm dead
I learned the hard way why you don’t use incendiaries on a honey badger. It won’t kill or stun lock the beastie line it did everything else, no it just means the immortal chittering demon weasel can set YOU on fire before killing you.
My number one complaint I had with this game, and this may be somewhat subjective, is that after every single main story mission, the person you didn't agree with on how to go about the mission traps you in a room for 5 minutes to scream at you about why they were right, you are an idiot, and everything is now ruined.
There's no chance to defend your actions, no input from the other character you did back up, you just have to sit there and be screamed at for taking what you decided was the most morally correct action.
I hated it. It felt like my character's agency was being totally undermined, since the game effectively decided that every single choice was the wrong one.
That's why it makes more sense just hang at the starting area until Pagan comes back.
+Aegis270 It's like an internet argument.
+Klishar122 The Pagan ending would be fine if the game would actually have the balls to let you ride this helicoper attack on the rebels and maybe end the game after the attack on the base. But i guess you cant make a game where you play for the ruthless dictator.
+Aegis270
Yeah, it was really frustrating to listen to Sabal's bullshit arguments all the time without being able to counter them: "Our traditions are important to our identity, Ajay! You are a disappointment to your father, Ajay! Worshiping little girls and slaughtering non-believers is perfectly fine, Ajay! Traditions, Ajay! Traditions!"
hawlitakerful Actually, you could make such a game. The developer just needs to have a set of balls.
I started pretending the main character in Far Cry 4 was actually a CIA android from the future, based on the fact that we only have his word that he's actually here for the whole mum's ashes deal, the weird visual glitches my AMD video card caused that I dismissed as HIS video card glitches (to preserve my sanity), the fact that he can tag enemies, the HUD, the fact that like the previous games he only ever takes damage to his left forearm (it's clearly a patch of synthetic skin to show off in case someone accuses him of being a cyborg), and that I unlocked what was absolutely Robocop's gun from the future.
Cody Hanna That's actually pretty cool though...
IIRC, the "wait for Pagan to come back" ending is considered the canon ending, since all other endings just screw things up worse no matter what you do.
I like how Yahtzee's temporary eyepatch keeps changing eyes.
Far Cry 4 highlights my main problem with open world game lately. Basically you're a kid sitting in a huge sandbox with way too many toys, and no idea where to start. The kicker being the toys are all different colors of the same bucket and shovel. In this case you also look to the side to see there are many other sandboxes that look exactly like yours with the names Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs plastered on the side.
You have the fast and beautiful worlds, but they are populated by things to do that amount to absolutely nothing. So you find your self just sweeping away at the map until you eventually get to 100% completion.
I completely agree with this statement
Suruga Kanbaru about the whole "so many toys, no idea where to start" thing:
Skyrim does the same thing, and look how good that game was. I don't get the problem of being lost in the world. It just sucks you in more.
Daemeon 93 Ya it certainly does. There is something special about Oblivion and Skyrim though. Not sure if I could put my finger on it exactly but it does it well. Probably because in Elder Scrolls you have the map littered with dungeons. Each dungeon may reuse textures but the layouts are all different.
Most of them usually end with a breadcrumb trail that takes you onto the next area as well. I think that's what missing from some open world games though. A sense of purpose.
"I'm going in this cave to grab this heirloom sword and kill this Bandit leader. " feels better than going to liberate bad dude camp 3/10.
You are absolutely, indisputably, 100% correct. I could literally not agree more with you.
Suruga Kanbaru I played Saints Row IV and it felt like what Yahtzee described. Doing the missions and finding clusters felt like doing it just so it's done. That's the same thing motivating me to finish short boring games or play for another 5 minutes to unlock a last silly achievement I'm missing... that can't be a good sign for gameplay.
In some way games like Saints Row IV feel like one of the old "200 games in 1" packages. You can do 200 things but none of them feel polished enough to be fun. If I have the choice between playing 200 different low-quality Mario clones or a single good game I'd pick the latter. Seriously, the amount of times Saints Row IV tried to be something else than simply Saints Row is staggering: Why am I racing around firewalls? Why am I climbing towers? Why am I suddenly playing an Endless Runner game?
And most importantly: Why doesn't this have any purpose except some number of "mission of type X completed" going up by 1?
They could've had you try to escape Kyrat in the beginning after meeting Pegan Min and you get stopped by Pegan Min on the way out and the rebels save you so you fight for them knowing its your only way out. That would've made more sense then, meh lets kill cause yolo.
TheKrigeron I heard the monkeys that throw there own shit are more intelligent. It was the Daily Mail, so that article was just them trying to justify what they do.
The most satisfying ending is when you wait for Pagan Min to get back when you're still at the dining table in my opinion. Short but pretty damn satisfying.
CapnTates
Yeah and at the end of the cut scene he's all like "Well did you get that out of your system?, good now let's go shoot some fucking guns" lol i laughed my ass off. I think Pagan Min was a very good villain.
I just wanted to help Pagan Min, so much more interesting then the damn Golden Path.
Tom Swift
Definitely I think an "evil" option would have made the game a true sequel. And not "just another ending" besides the "in game" CIA agent didn't care about continuity, so why should we?
I would have sided with Pagan faster than Amita and Sabal could blink. They can keep their stupid morals to themselves. I would have just sat down, stayed where I was, and enjoyed the Crab Rangoon until Pagan got back if I had the option.
You do have that option.
Yeah. I cycled through the comments and found that out. Still though, I didn't sit for 15 minutes.
Also, that ending (the real ending for me) was awesome. Pagan is just a cool dude all around.
*****
one of the many reasons I never believed a word she spoke.
kotekzot yeah but unfortunately the game ends. Would have been awesome if instead of being an easter egg ending it would be an actual beginning and then you could go around Kyrat stomping out the remains of the Golden Path.
Neenjah Rammus I gotta ask, why are so many people interested in siding with the unidimensional children cartoon-tier villain? I mean, I like him as well, especially considering he makes the game feel "lighter" and more fun. But come on, am I over empathizing when I feel unable to side with a character that is leeching off a whole country, making everyone's lives poor and miserable for no real reason?
To be honest, the character feels completely incompetent to me. He's supposed to have conquered a country from the inside, meaning he'd need to be clever and charismatic. Instead, we see a narcissistic men who can't really do anything to stop the Mighty Foreigner Who Just Arrived from single-handedly conquering all of his territory. And that's not to mention the ABSOLUTELY unnecessary level of "evilness" he employs to... what, acquire wealth? Come on, you don't need slave labor when you have fucking taxes for everything. At first this shit sounded so unreal that I thought maybe the game was set in the middle of last century or something. He could be ungodly rich and still at least pretend to give people everything they need, so the rebels would be a lot weaker. Same goes for Yuma, who was supposed to be super smart and pragmatic but for no fucking reason just let the situation escalate to a point of no return.
God, this must have been one of the worst written games I've ever played. And I'm very easy to please.
this is one of the games where i like that antagonist more than than people who trys to kill him
by the way, when the last pagan min cutscene ended I immediately thought what would happen If I killed him? and immediately blew up the helicopter, and making the king is dead appear in pink letters.
+Uncle Jack I did the same
OH YEAH! **high fives**
True That! ☺
for once a triple A game anticipated you doing something!
I bought my friends an elephant for their room.
They said 'Thanks.'
I said 'Don't mention it.'
**Slow Clap**
Kerosene Drinker BOO
I hope it was whiter than Lil Dicky in a mime getup just so I can imagine the sarcasm wafting through that word, "Thanks."
That took me way to long.
"Oh no! Don't go to the next mission yet! One of your strongholds is under attack!"
"Oh no! What will happen if I don't help out?"
"Oh no! Fuck all!"
"Oh no! Probably leave it then."
My only problem with this game is the whole "protagonist's motivation" thing. Yahtzee explained it pretty well.
That and... the "choice" system was garbage. Man, if I'd have the option to join Pagan Min, now _that_ would have been interesting.
Greatkingrat88 Who WOULDN'T join Pagan Min?
IKR? The idea of making Kyrat a better place from the inside, instead of joining these fanatics...
Greatkingrat88 You misspelled "band of morally bankrupt idiots."
That works too. Pagan's regime was awful, but the golden path isn't much better. Given how much Pagan likes you, it'd be no large stretch for Ajay to become king one day.
Eagles in far cry 4 = cliff racers from morrowind
***** saint juib, use his title!
I honestly preferred Pagan Min to Vaas the Arse.
While both are pretty damn strong villains, Pagan Min is a bit less obviously villainous.
Vaas is just a psychopath that does psychopathic things because he's a psychopath, but Pagan Min can almost be seen as a pseudo good guy in Far Cry 4 (especially considering the secret ending).
From a narrative standpoint, I think I agree, but I have to admit that Vaas is just much more entertaining when he's on screen. I adore Micheal Mando's performance. Pagan is strong too, but not quite as fun.
@@Necroskull388 i dunno theres something to be said about a complete Psychopath wanting to be your best friend because he once hooked up with your mom
I miss the ending credits and quips that are in the Escapist's websites ZP videos
"Additionally, 'smack on bum and close door in face' is a good way to deal with Jehovah's Witnesses"
I agree, it was so bizarre that Ajay was killing dudes without a moments hesitation. I hear some people say this games story is Spec Ops-ish in that its actually more about YOU the PLAYER, but I havent finished the game yet so I cant speak to that. It would make sense though, since Ajay is in such a rush to get the game started he forgets to have motivation.
Not anywhere close to Spec-Ops. Really Farcry 4 is the developers trying to remake the golden egg that was Farcry 3 and they latched onto that Vaz was the only reason it was so amazing. Yes Vaz an almost Joker like villian was fucking amazing but everything else with it made it the masterpiece. Yes Farcry 4 is fun but honestly your better off replaying the 3rd game instead. Yez I do regret buying it on release day
GeakGuySheldon Yahtzee nails it on the head. Vaas wasn't "TEH BEST VIDYHA GAME VILLAN EVAH!!1!", it was the fact that Jason Brody has some HUGE character development. He goes form a privileged rich boy on vacation, to a scared kid trying to survive, to a hardened killer turning into the thing he's fighting against. Jason's interactions with Vaas show how he is single minded in his goal of vengeance (and nailing Citra) so much so that it alienates his friends, and changes him as a person. I've yet to play Far Cry 4, but from what Yahtzee is saying is that Pagan Min is a Vaas clone without the great protagonist to the antagonist.
Remlap1223 I think a lot of that deliberately took advantage of the player's own motivation in a very clever way - "Don't wanna rescue this guy's dumb hipster friends, wanna shoot tigers and be a badass!" etc. Especially in the "bad ending" when Citra literally says "You won." Plus even if it was delibearate, Spec Ops was such a chore to play many never got to see the message at the heart of it before they gave up. Hopefully Far Cry 4's got something up it's sleeve like 3 did in that regard.
marcusmarochan so wait in game can you just sit down wait a few minutes and pagan will come back to give you supplies and help you on your marry way to spread your moms ashes or is it something he just says at the end cus if so due to the nature of how people play games (everyone always goanna leave the room) that's awesome
qazwsxedc562 Yea if you sit and wait, he comes back and you get an ending. Thats why people are speculating that Ajays motivation is really YOUR motivation, which is you wanna shoot some dudes and shit. It does make sense
The secret ending where you wait when Pagan Min tells you to wait is fun though. Similar to the actual ending except with zero violence. Sounds boring but funny if you do that right after playing through the entire game first.
Not sure cause it takes less than 2 hours to get that so you could get that secret ending and since it's more fulfilling than the rest just stop there and then get a Steam refund and be better off with both time and money!
I love how he'll completely tear apart a game, and then in the sequel video, talk about the first game like it was flawless.
Actually if you watched his review on FC3 then you should have gotten the idea that he enjoyed it quite a bit.
He actually gave Far Cry 3 a pretty decent rating.
He said he like farcry 3 even with its flaws
You must be new here. :D
He didnt tear far cry 3 in part, he sad that some small parts was bad. You can admit some parts are bad and still love a game. When i play i always go, WTF that makes no sense, or well this part sucks and still i like most of my games
The ending you get by staying at the tabel in the beginning seems a much more logical reaction that an actual human being would have
And the most dissapointing thing?
No Far Cry 4: Blood Dragon 2.
Oh, come on, Ubi Soft!
Ya just make the elephants triceratops
I'm kinda hoping they'll make a DLC that's an alt history that starts when you don't try to escape from Pagan Min's palace at the start of the game.
Like Yahtzee said, his parents sounded like much more interesting characters, so i'm personally hoping for a prequel/prologue type of DLC from that time.
From what I've heard there will be a sequel to Blood Dragon, whether it will have the title Far Cry 4 in it, I don't know, but Blood Dragon was successful and loved enough to warrant a sequel to it.
***** No, that's EXACTLY what I'm talking about - a game that continues WHERE THAT left off!
*** Spoiler Alert Ahead ***
5:26 - I think that was the whole point of the story: what was the point of all that killing? What, to liberate the country? Pagan Min was going to hand it over to you on a silver platter, seeing as how you were his stepson.
So in the end, yeah, the smart thing to do is just sit at the start and wait for Pagan to come back for you.
except spec ops the line did it waaay better
Mostafa Shahin Very true. Ubisoft has been having a lot of issues in the story department lately, I've noticed.
thickterranarmor like what?
***** far cry never made you regret joining said militia.
thickterranarmor so to proof your point you brought a review made by an asshat who is about as relevant to gaming as Michel bay is relevant to good movies?
Finally. I've been reading reviews and I don't see many people acknowledging the inferior story and characters, in comparison to FC3. I know many people had issues with FC3's story, but it hit the basic bullet points by giving purpose to the character (survival at first, then rescue, then revenge, and among all that, becoming this tribal warrior while being guided/manipulated by Citra - depending on interpretation) . In FC4, I had to struggle to suspend my disbelief and just kept going through the motions. I actually like the ending and I appreciate the original writing that ties the beginning to the end, but that's just two cutscenes worth of content; everything in between is kinda meh. The gameplay's fine though, so it's still a fun game to play, but if someone had to pick between the two, I'd recommend FC3 instead.
I liked 3's story a lot. It was memorable, well written and well acted.
Jonathan Sotelo I forgot about that. Guess that was kinda silly. I guess suddenly going into a drug induced euphoric killing mode is like a deus ex machine.
Yeah, that was a little too convenient but I wouldn't call it a plot hole since we don't see what REALLY happens. Btw, you could also interpret those moments as supernatural in nature which would explain Jason's unlikely success. I believe the game doesn't force one particular interpretation of the story on the player.
***** Okay, okay, we get it. They made the game all meta and shit so all the hipsters who see it for what it is can tip their fedora hats at each other in acknowledgement. Who cares? Some of us like a little more context to mindless killing via a good story and we're sorry for that.
***** Point is, who says video games can't have good stories? Criticizing Far Cry 4's story as being inferior to 3's is legitimate. And trying to break the fourth wall isn't edgy, it's kind of overdone so I'm not impressed.
You know what bothers me about far cry 4?
The fact that "No animals seem to be interested in your bait" did not become a meme. It's such an obvious thing that everyone missed!
Me included :p Damn!
Animals won't take da bait m8.
"Far Cry 4". Or, more accurately, "Far Cry 3, 2"
Callum Morgan maybe if it were made by square enix
Far Cry III-2
Far Cry III-2 A Realm Reborn
Far CryIII and knuckles
Callum Morgan yea one of the things I liked about farcry3 was Brody vocalizing how fucked up everything is. FC4 you start out. I'm not a soldier, but I do like murdering the shit out of everything, I mean you start off with a knife and mission 1 is killing everybody. mission 1 in FC3 was run for your life they are shooting at me....
To be honest I didn't get into FC 3 arc because of the way the "storytelling" was hammer down our throat with way to much enthusiasm. The sandbox on the other hand, pure joy!
Been waiting for this review a while now!
"What's up motherf*ckers!? The elephant in the room is that you're all dead." Brilliant.
By far your best review yet
Im so glad he addressed the whole Ajay doesn't transform or develop like Jason did thing cause it pissed me off at the end when Pagen brought up the whole are you a psycho thing and I thought that line woulda been awesome in far cry 3 if they used it then, whereas Ajay just picked up a gun and was a baddass with zero military background experience and can use every vehicle in the game with no bother when he may not even have something like a flight license or practise at climbing mountains with a hook.
I’m pretty sure his mother trained him.
Far and away the best ending is the secret one which, funnily enough, accomplishes the main character's goals in less than half-an-hour while not requiring you to actually play the game.
I've never seen review like the one before. Its kind a great and artistic. Good job mate. I just subscribed.
Best moment so far was shooting a captive elephant in the ass with an arrow and watching it freak out and fling all the bad guys about until I won the base. Good times.
Wasn't gonna play this, but you mentioned the smacks in the bum - totally hyped now.
Thank you for expressing every emotion that I've felt play this game!
I wonder if yahtzee found the hidden ending where you don't even need to play the game. Just be a good dinner guest and you are allowed to leave peacefully. Really puts the whole struggle into perspective and makes you into a dick.
I just found this guy tonight, I have watched a few vidoes, and I have never laughed so much at 3 in the morning as I have tonight.
Honestly. My favorite part of the game is the secret ending. Where shit actually rocks.
I really preferred the multiple island set up over the continous jungle. It allowed me to basically sweep an island and just keep an eye on the water for gunboats. Now like Zahtzee said the animals are almost to numerous. And because of the set up they can spawn across the map and theoretically walk to you and attack you. Obviously this didn't happen, I hope but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised because I seriously could never find good sniping spots that i didn't get attacked by some animal regardless of how much time I spent clearing out the area of animals.
great video as ussual yatzee. love your vids
I'm not making fun of the escapist or anything, but I do think it's funny that this channel is now basically "zero punctuation" and "more zero punctuation". Yahtzee has two channels now. Whee.
That's because Yahtzee is king and escapist knows it. (^.^)d
*****
no because everybody else who is worthwhile left, 1st extra credit left, then Jim sterling left.
It'd suck if Movie Bob left as well.
Will Ferrous
Yeah but I can still watch jim which is great but doesn't make Yahtzee any less king lol.
Will Ferrous Where's MovieBob been, anyway?!
Jizz Fudgsickle
he got moved to a movie focused channel, "escapist movie" i think? didnt check, prolly wrong,
That's why I carry around a silenced smg with a massive mag.
"The strongholds might as well just bend over and ask for it gently." Call me immature, but that shit is too hilarious!

3:58
HAHAHAHAHA!!! THAT'S why I love this minimalist approach to presentation that Yahtzee uses. Had me rolling!
Min, is in that club of villains we all kind of wish that we could have teamed up with rather than oppose throughout most of the game and/or movie. This exclusive club also includes: The Major from Hellsing, Loki from Avengers, Jack from Borderlands, and Hazama from Blazeblue... just to name a few.
God damnit Benny, You shoot me in the head and leave me for dead, but I survive.
I track you down and tell you I'm friendly and wanna team up and you send a hit squad after me.
I kill the hit squad, tell you that I genuinely forgive you, and you still runoff to Caesar.
I come to The Fort and Caesar offers me you on a silver platter, I refuse to kill you, kill Caesar, his guards, his entire military force outside of his tent, and everybody at the entrance instead, and tell you you're free, and even offer to help you take over, and you walk off the scene, leaving me high-and-dry.
God damnit Benny. I just wanna be friends.
Loki? nah, he's weak.
Mr. Angry Whiskers , Oh precious !
Not sure if you are aware of this Yahtzee but you can actually skip the whole game by simply sitting and waiting for Pagan to just show back up at the dinner table. Everything you do in he game is ultimately pointless.
The bit about the elephant was comedy platinum. XD
Best review of far cry 4 ever, you totaly read my mind.
Friendship is Magic
The 15 minute ending is the best.
Best video yet.
"Mr. Angry Whiskers" Priceless.
Your greatest review. Ever.
The special light machine gun you get after unlocking all the tower things is the most op thing I have ever seen
Dat closing comment doe! I'm dying.
I can say with full confidence that in all my time on RUclips, no video subtitle has resonated with more than the _F**k Eagles_ subtitle for this video. #TheFeels
Simply amazing:')
I want a Far Cry game where you play as the evil dictator. You can build outposts wherever you like, and then fight alongside your NPC soldiers to defend them against the rebels. Add an optional human opponent to lead the rebels, and you could have player generated, large scale epic battles going on, all from a first person perspective.
+Jarret Xu that'd be a clusterfuck
I love that game but he dose make some good points, especially about the silent sniper thing
0:50 The four-player tag team of me, Colonel Tusky, Stripy McBigteeth and Florence, the fully upgraded sniper rifle.
I would pay Yahtzee to say "WHATS UP MOTHER-FUCKERS" every time he starts speaking.
So so true about the copters!!!! Lol especially in coop!! One guy flies it the other guy drops havoc!!
The secret ending was pretty clever though. That got me pretty good.
Min is awesome, all you have to do is follow one easy request and you save yourself (in game) weeks of near death shenanigans. I think I would have preferred it if by doing that you actually got to join Min's forces though.
Great metaphor to end on.
The wolves/dogs are more dangerous than the soldiers/pirates in the series. Makes you wonder how they havent been wiped out by now :P
I watch these videos to deflate my hype balloons about new games haha.
If only every video game review were this blunt, to the point, cheeky, and generally British.
You are trapped there, like in far cry 3. You are rescued by the people you help, and without eliminating the enemies, you won't be able to get out. You also want to find out more about your mother and father, and much of the plot is unraveling their past. I found that many of the side characters were well done and clearly defined, and the Shangri la missions were as interesting as they were beautiful.
"In the end, kinda pointless." You cheeky fuck, I actually laughed out loud.
2:10 you can actually do this in game. If in the very starting mission in the villains house, he will ask you to wait for a minute while he does something. You would usually take this opportunity to run away but if you actually wait there in game, like he asked you, he will spread your ashes and you will go home and the game will end. This means you can finish the game in about 10 minutes
I really don't think being similar to the previous game is a bad thing, since Far Cry 3 was awesome. Far Cry 4 is its predecessor with a few new things added, which is just fine by me, since I know I'll be having a blast just like I did in Far Cry 3. And right now, I definitely am!
But I do agree that the story is inferior to the last, to the point where it actually bothers me a little. I don't feel motivated to fight with the Golden Path against Pagan. Rather, I'm just going along with it.
But what really bugs me is how much of a fucking doormat Ajay is. He just goes along with what people say, doing what people tell him to do. This really shows when I'm forced to choose between Amita or Sabal for the next mission, because if I choose one, I get scolded by the other for not siding with them. I decided to side with Amita for the first mission, but after being scolded by Sabal, I actually felt bad because I let people die, and I can understand why he's so emotional over it. But for the next mission, I chose to side with Sabal and burn down the drug fields rather than take them, which is what Amita wanted me to do. And when she scolded me for that, I didn't buy any of it. I felt that she was mad at me ONLY because I didn't side with her. Again, I could understand Sabal being angry with me for letting people die, but when Amita started giving me lip, I just wanted to step in and be like, "Look bitch, I'm sorry I took away your opportunity to get high, but there's no reason to be THIS upset over it. Get over yourself!" But no, Ajay just remains mostly silent and takes her verbal beatings.
With all of that said, it's still an awesome game. I'm having just as much fun as I did with Far Cry 3, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Finally, thank you. It was so annoying to just hear her whine about drugs, like that's all that mattered. Who wouldn't choose to save lives(Other than Ajay)?
Is it bad that i started playing this game, and then totally forgot i started playing it until just now when i saw this old video? I guess i will have to get back to it at some point.
Never played it myself, but I gotta give the game major props for at least 1 thing:
That secret ending though.
best farcry review ever made
the 4 player tag team is definitely all you need
In all honesty this was a game I bought as a "I'm pissed as fuck I need to shoot the hell out of things in a fun way." game.
Ajay doesn't have to spread his mothers ashes, he's supposed spread his fathers.
Over halv way through the game (dragging it out by doing as much side missions and such as possible) and I can't say anything else than this is spot on, on every point.
One of the best!
"My leg disappearing into a wolf" xD
They added that should I stay or should I go song at the beginning and end so it was all alright to me
Let's go back to Vaas. He was underexplored and clearly has a backstory worth revisiting. There could be an entire Far Cry where you play as a young Vaas, climbing the ranks of his pirate gang and making the transition into a ruthless lunatic. It'd be great to claim all the land that Jason Brody will years later take back. Vas's transition from youthful innocence to murderous lunacy would essentially be following the same path that Jason Brody did, but with a totally different outcome ("Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?")
Start it off with Citra and Vaas's parents being killed by a pirate gang. During the raid Vaas makes his first kill protecting Citra from being taken away to be made a slave. In seeking revenge for his parents' death, Vaas anonymously joins the same pirate gang that killed his parents and climbs the ranks to get at the people that murdered his parents. As he climbs the ranks, the thirst for revenge fades away and he descends into a power fantasy that changes him into a monster.
Surprised you didn't mention the hidden ending actually... Great vid as always though
As with all conflicts, the problem here was lack of communication. The guard shot the bus instead of stopping it, Pagan got mad, Ghale got scared.
And afterwards, why didn't he just ask 'So, Uncle Pagan, what or where is Lakshmana? These idiots don't want to tell me.'
I thought I was the only one who was somewhat disappointed about having to kill Vaas halfway through Farcry 3.
Jacob Pohlabel I was disappointed about having to kill him
Jacob Pohlabel on my first playthrough, I kept on anticipating he'd comeback, since his death was sorta...tripping balls, so I assumed we didn't actually kill him and it was a dream (especially since he opens his eyes when you're laying on the ground next to him).
Then, I got to the ending of the game...
I still liked the second half of the game, but it felt more like an 80's action thriller instead of a survival game like the first half of the game.
Really, they could have sold them as completely separate games.
xFanGame23 It was gonna happen at some point. Doe I liked vaas too.. But I loved the bad ending ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
you've actually gotten this game spot on once again.. thats why i keep coming back here. fucking eagles man
I'm in stitches... "With enough drugs to occupy Amy Whinehouse for a Sunday afternoon"... LOL"
Yep felt the same way
2-3 was a nice jump from visuals and gameplay. completely agree this is more of like an expansion for far cry 3..
I like the ending that makes the game super short much better.
Watching this at .75 speed is fucking fantastic. It sounds like he's drunk but completely sober at the same time and things end up even funnier 🤣
"The elephant in the room is that you're all fucking dead!" 😂🤣
One cut scene then game then second half of cut scene is spot on, if you just stay in the room like he asks at the start you can skip the whole game and get the second half of the cut scene straight away
4:29. Funniest part of the video! Lol
