Far Cry 4. Some say it's the best of the lot. Some say it's a pale imitation of the masterpiece that came before it. Some think it's where Far Cry lost it's identity. Some are happy it found a new one, here, in the Himalayas. It's time to find out who's right.

The hidden secret at the dining table in the beginning should’ve been playable. I would’ve much rather fly around with that psycho than help either of the two.
The Golden Path: “Supplies are scarce!”
It always irritated me that Amita and Sabal wouldn't tell you the best points for picking them until AFTER the fact. I was always like "Then why the hell didn't you lead with that!?" It could also be a hint that they only see Ajay as a tool and isn't worth telling him all the details
I'm convinced the best ending in this game is the one where you just wait for Pagan Min to return at the start. I hated both Amita and Sabal by the end but, that is probably due to just how comically evil they become.
wake up babe, new whitelight video just dropped
I always felt the Golden Path to be emotionless and not interesting, yet Pagan Min highly interesting and made you want to hang out with him, he was also the only character that spoke with any emotion about Ajays mother, which was the entire reason for the game's story.
Accidentally getting the “secret ending” my first play through really shaped the way I saw Pagan Min through the entire story, I just couldn’t see him as a true villain and it made me love the true ending so much more
I think more games should use the kind of environment as Far Cry 4. India, Nepal, Tibet and China all have incredibly interesting landscapes, histories, mythologies and cultures and it's a damn shame we barely ever get to see them realised in mainstream-gaming. Even though this game came out in 2014, I think it's still one of the best-looking games ever made almost purely thanks to the sheer beauty of Kyrat. The Himalayas are cool as hell is what I'm saying.
Game has walking system.
Pagan is easily one of my favorite villains in any game. I know some people have called him a rip off of Vaas but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Vaas always felt like his “calm” personality was a facade, an easy to see through act meant to make the people around him even more scared of him, just knowing that at any point he might snap and kill one of them just for the sake of it. Pagan’s “calm” felt more real, he wasn’t putting on an act, he knew he was always in control even when he was losing, and that’s a direct result of his connection to Ajay. With anyone else in the golden path, I doubt he could have the same effect, but because he knew Ajays mother, because there’s the possibility of him being Ajays father, there’s this twisted sort of familial connection that he seems to revel in. I can easily imagine him being bored out of his mind every day in his palace, and then finding out that Ishwari died and falling even further into depression, before being told that Ajay Ghale is on his way to scatter her ashes, and immediately perking up at the idea of bonding with his “son”. It’s through his connection and love for Ajay that he is able to talk to him and convince him to sit down and have dinner. You know the man is an utter psychopath but you also know that he loves you, that he considers you family and that he really does want the best for you.
”If AJ burns the opium, then Amita smokes the copium”. Excellent timing and delivery. Superb commentary overall.
Far cry 4 was a pleasure. Story may not have been oscar worthy but the visuals and gameplay were remnants of a time when games had deeper meaning than just being another shooter
While the side activities and collectibles can feel a bit pointless and repetitive, I do appreciate that there’s some acknowledgment by the game for continually doing them or completing them all. If I recall correctly, if you complete the Supply Run missions, you get a little conversation about how the people you’ve been helping aren’t even with the Golden Path, or if you collect enough masks, the serial killer starts to become annoyed by your interference. Details like that, while small in the grand scale, make it seem like what I’m doing actually has some influence.
I am honestly shocked that you haven't talked about the secret ending. It's such a vital part of the true ending to me
I think the "guilt" that the story assumed was present was due to the other ending, where you just wait at the table until Pagan gets back and avoid the Golden Path story altogether. If you knew that was an option and chose to side with the Golden Path, you did
I honestly would have loved a DLC or a Mod where u just play the game from the perspective of an Ajay who stayed when Pagan told him to. When Pagan comes and tells Ajay to join him to shoot guns the game should have thrown us into the North just shooting small groups of rebels and then when we proceed it should throw us into the south with stronger rebels to fight.
One of the touches I liked was Yuma's elite troops speaking/swearing at Ajay in Cantonese to show they were imported from Hong Kong. It's a minor thing, but a nice detail that adds believability. In general I wish Pagan's triad background got more narrative attention.
Ajay's name kinda sheds some light into why he's such a killing machine. Ajay means "undefeatable" so I guess the devs were going for a very specific vibe.
I felt bad for killing Pagan in my first playthrough, so I played THROUGH THE ENTIRE GAME again just to spare him, then I went to Tirtha and popped a cap in Amita's head for (presumably) killing Bhadra.
