The gunplay has remained some of the best around. With such an impressive job performed on the mechanics in Far Cry 3, the agenda heading into Far Cry 4 had to be “build that again, but more.” If that was the agenda, they met it to a T. While story is an integral part of any game, the gameplay of Far Cry has always been the biggest draw. The character is played by Hindi comedian Hasan Minhaj (newest Daily Show with Jon Stewart correspondant), which shows as the lines are delivered very well. The topics he hits on vary from political to social issues and consistently add more life to the world of Kyrat.
He will appear over your radio within every vehicle as he spouts multiple witty lines. Whether it is taking selfies with the main character before declaring his intentions of murder all the way to going on about how he wants Kanye West to visit him in Kyrat, Pagin Min is a glorious character that does not disappoint.Īnother strong character is the rarely seen DJ Rabi Ray Rana. This left a huge question of “How do they top him in Far Cry 4?” While topping him is a daunting task, they definitely matched his presence with Pagin Min as he strengthens up every sequence he enters. Far Cry 3 featured a fantastic villain in Vaas, a character just as psychotic as he was entertaining. While some of the characters may be hit or miss, one that most certainly is not is the aforementioned villain Pagin Min. Overall, the tale woven never becomes too distractingly bad, but it also lacks any impressive qualities that keep you gnawing at your fingernails for more. As the narrative progresses, you begin to see a heavier presence of mystical forces that, while fitting for the culture of Kyrat, still manage to feel a bit disjointed from the original story. Apart from your run-ins with Pagin Min, it is rather tough to care about the happenings with Ajay and exactly what his future holds. The narrative in Far Cry 4 begins atypically and continues along that path for the majority of the game. For the most part, characters stick to telling a straight-ahead story about the factions within Kyrat. There are a few characters littered throughout the world that thumb their nose at the story as you might hope, though they are far and few in between. Far Cry 4 continues along the same path as the fiction within the game is delivered in a very serious, sometimes dire tone.
One of the larger complaints about Far Cry 3 was the storyline and how seriously it took itself in such a comical world. Before being shown your demise, you are rescued by The Golden Path and are then asked to play an integral role in helping them to rise back up to help the people of Kyrat. While on his visit back to Kyrat, he is captured by Pagin Min, the villain of all villains in the Far Cry 4 world. Ajay was raised by his mother stateside, but is visiting Kyrat to fulfill her final wish of spreading her ashes back in her homeland. Mohan was the famous leader of The Golden Path before his unfortunate death. In Far Cry 4, you play as Ajay Ghale, the son of Mohan Ghale. The latest installment in the series, Far Cry 4, continues its trend towards the insane by introducing more weapons, more territory to explore across, and, most importantly, elephants.
By the time the third Far Cry rolled around, the series had turned into an immensely entertaining joy that many considered one of the best games of 2012. The series started off as a fairly basic first person shooter, but began to morph into something else in and of itself.
The Far Cry series has long been an eclectic one.
