Far Cry 3 Is So Immersive In 2026
I played my first FC game last year (Far Cry 4) on Series X and loved it! I especially loved the DLC to finish the game.
I hadn't planned on playing FC3 because it was like 720p30 on consoles and FC4 at 1080p60 was the minimum res I'd play any game (60fps is my target fps).
But then a few months back, Ubisoft put out an update to get FC3 to 1440p60 so it's actually higher res than FC4!
Anyway, I bought it for $9 (didn't include the Blood Dragon but I will buy that when I'm done the main game).
I'm about 35 hours into the game, and still have barely done the main story (just ran into Willis Huntley and now being prompted to go light up some fields) and only have about 1/2 the map opened up with the towers. I'm playing on Master difficulty and it's still not that hard, but nice enough. I tend to open the towers outposts and then clear the map in the area that is directly related to the part of the story line I'm in before proceeding to the next part of the map/story. The game says I'm 49% finished so I will probably be in the 60+ hours before I finish.
But my favourite part of this game is just exploring! And I don't use Fast Travel most of the time: if I want to get somewhere, I find a vehicle,boat or walk. There is something about this map I prefer over FC4, maybe it's the fact that the island is surrounded by water (obviously) and you can get on a boat and go out and drive around.
I'm shocked that this game is only 16GB too. There is so much detail and so many hidden places to find.
My only minor quibbles are the super narrow FOV with no slider (which I somewhat get used to after a week but wish they'd added a slider in the recent updates) and almost wish MAYBE it was a bit harder. I'm playing on Master and haven't any troubles... but I do play a stealth game as I love stealth... so enemies are usually dead before they know I'm around. LOL. I've pretty much maxed out my wallet, ammo pouches etc and I don't need to loot anybody because my wallet is always full. I wish the game was a bit more stingy with $ and loot.
But yeah, LOVE this game! I still have FC5 and 6 (Oh I guess Primal), but I was wondering if there are other games out there like Far Cry?
Oh and one final question: "WHO'S THE MAN?!"
