When the first videos appeared on the Internet Far Cry 4, It became clear: a new conveyor has been launched. The fourth part looks exactly like her predecessor and, not embarrassed, promises the same gameplay. Once again, an epic charismatic villain on the cover, again open peace with the capture of towers and the liberation of the avantosts, again a million additional tasks. And this is good, because the third part was accepted by all with a bang. Or the second time the same scheme will not work?
The adventures of an ancient warrior look so superfluous in the general plot that for sure six months later the scriptwriters will again say that no one understood the essence of history.
Let me go to the Himalayas
The main innovation Far Cry 4 is fundamentally new for the setting series. If earlier the game somehow burden to the tropics, now I went to much more entertaining climatic conditions. Welcome to the fictional state of Kirat, where elephants are adjacent to snow leopards.
Everything is bad here, as in any small country in which the shooter takes place. The battle for power unfolds: on the one hand, the “official” government led by the eccentric Paygan Min in a pink jacket, on the other, the “golden path”, folk revolutionaries fighting a bloody tyranny.
Aja Gail returns to his homeland, which he does not really remember, according to the last will of the mother. She wanted her ashes to be in a “special place”, about which her son is not guessed. But as soon as the guy gets to the border, as the president of his own person and after the death of a couple of three, a person joyfully shouts: “My boy, I have been waiting for you for so long!”And here there is a feeling that they forgot to tell you about something.
The approach to the narrative has changed great. The protagonist, in fact, was removed, replaced by a typical spineless blank. But in return, they gave somewhat greater will, allowing us to determine the course of the development of history and the fate of the surrounding
characters. After all, they, on the contrary, are amazingly charming and thirsty for communication.
The country under the oppression of the tyrant, understandable. But the “good guys” are all restless: the “golden path” is led by two opposing leaders. One holds on to traditions and intends to turn the country into a peaceful poor state, and the second, on the contrary, strives forward, to democracy and the constitutional system. The player turns out to be between the hammer and the gravity, forced to constantly decide on which side to be.
With variability in Far Cry 4 A very funny thing occurs. In fact, she, of course, is not. This is a shooter where the player carefully lead the handle through a set of prepared tasks. At certain moments, they ask us: “Well, you are bad or good?”, You need to choose. This does not affect the world, does not change the storyline too much. But still leaves a very pleasant sensation.
Each choice is perfectly furnished at the scenario level, as in Dishonored, For example. There are always two truths, there are always reasons to take any of the parties. The characters have been exchanging arguments for a long time, know how to recall the decisions adopted to you and are never frankly “villains” or “heroes”.
This is generally a huge plus of history. Any interlocutor with puppy eyes swears in holy intentions, but one random phrase gives all the internal vices. And the “main villain”, on the contrary, is always as friendly as possible to the hero and sometimes even manages to cause sympathy.
The dialogs are spelled out. Constant references to media personalities, gadgets, Internet, pink jacket of dictator;excellent standpers of the only radio host;A reasonable amount of battle in Russian localization – all this is an excellent script. Perhaps the best in a year.
In addition to the main storyline, there are a number of side. Several crazy characters will offer you optional, but perky entertainment: drug use, meditation and visiting other worlds, almost criminal diamond wars. The mission in Shangri-la-la-laminals.
They are like a free DLC game. Not related to the original, short and as diverse as possible. Tells about the travels of an ancient warrior named Kalinag, which protects the local paradise from the invasion of demons. The game offers new gameplay opportunities, gives the tiger to help, but limits the arsenal with onions alone. Everything is completely isolated from the original: in the main plot of mysticism there is practically no.
While the player seizes power in the state, he gradually reveals the secrets of his past. Within the framework of the KAT scenes, only semi-trees are given, but no direct answers: in order to understand the whole complexity of the relationship between at least their own parents (not to mention the political situation and the causes of the revolution in the country), you will have to carefully collect diaries, monitor the details and fragmentary phrases. This is a rare case when, despite the lack of crazy turns, I really want to figure out what happened.
For a shooter, here is simply an amazingly worked out world. In addition to the rich background, he offers a thousand small funny and sad notes that complement the scene. There are notes of dead travelers, echoing with each other or with other places. There are own magic rites, traditions and temples. The game really offers a culture in which you can plunge. But you can spit, take a machine gun and arrange a party. And it will also be right.
Force, crush, tie a friend to the battery, but make him fly like this in a cooperative with a grenade launcher.
Our business is to offer
While the plot feeds a heavy choice and complex cabbage soup, the gameplay seeks to deliver a maximum of pleasure. He again offers a perky “sandbox”, in the mood of reminiscent Just CAUSE: maximum possibilities, minimum responsibility.
All mechanics familiar from the previous part are dumped on their heads almost immediately, not too much in the details. The secondary goal of the game is to capture the whole Kirat. To do this, you will have to conquer radio racks that open a map of the area and clean the outposts full opponents.
There will be fewer enemies in the controlled territories, fast movement and a set of additional quests will become available. There are not many identical tasks, while their options are a huge number: “Avenge my family with the help of this family pistol!”,” Quietly neutralize the bomb “,” Go through the race with GoPro on your head, we will post on YouTube!”.
The best in all this is the arena. You can participate in real gladiatorial battles, where representatives of four opposing sides are on one site: warring mercenaries, player and wild animals. Everyone wants to kill everyone, and in this minced meat you need to survive at least somehow. There are three modes: ordinary, endless and “one weapon in hand”, where you need to hold out five waves with a certain “barrel”. These episodes squeeze the best of the shooting component of the game, succumbing to real hardcore, forcing to act smartly and accurately.
The editor is available from the main menu that allows you to create your own missions. Such things are checked by time and game community, so at the start the list of available user cards for obvious reasons is stingy. But at least one interesting level sending a player to the Second World War was found there.
In addition to additional tasks, the world map is simply strewn with miracles. Every two hundred meters you stumble upon a question mark that means that an interesting location is nearby (which means that a small story is certainly). Plus several chests with treasures and some unnecessary nonsense like propaganda posters (which need to be torn more than a hundred), mystical masks (collect more than fifty), father’s diaries (a couple of dozens) … and a huge pile of all.
In addition to moral satisfaction, such collecting makes new products in the store – the widest range of weapons of all options and colors. The farther, the more fun – missiles, grenade launchers, powerful sniper rifles and a magnificent small crossbow. There is no point in talking about any balance: everything is done so that it is more convenient and spectacular to perform the revolution.
And in addition to the weapons, you can start abuse of drugs – make modifiers from multi -colored leaflets to slow down time, superstition and other things. However, you can do without their use.
So that the player can never get to the plot quests at all, a dozen random “events of karma” has been added. Cars with cargo are driving around, couriers with data, rebels are shooting, they are captured by civilians, crazy eagles attack people. For participation in such things, the level of “karma” increases, and with it (yes, again) additional lotions open. In particular – the ability to cause reinforcement, the greater the higher the reputation meter.
There is also a “pumping” of the character. But this occupation is very useless and artificial: by the middle of the passage, the glasses are simply nowhere to distribute.
The only shelter from the endless stream of entertainment is the sky. In the game, a small helicopter appeared (although it takes time to search), which allows you to get to any point as quickly as possible and making your appearance before the enemy is even more spectacular. This is much more convenient than driving along the roads: Himalayan landscapes are very different from tropical.
Another innovation is a hook and the opportunity to climb with its help to certain places. But this is very boring and linear: it works only at selected points and does not affect the tactics and capabilities in general.
In contrast to the “sandbox”, plot missions are placed. They do not reach the level of the previous part, although they still remain good: a linear narcotic attraction is regularly replaced by creative tasks from the series “Capture this huge base … somehow”: you can chop in close combat, shoot from a grenade launcher, quietly kill everyone from the rifle,without even leaving the place, finally break through the front door on the elephant and with a machine gun in his hands!
It is amazing that all this works in a cooperative. It was not that there were many options: fly, capture the fortresses (large outposts) and towers. For several hours, this is excellent fun, and if you can invent entertaining yourself, the game is generally able to give pleasure almost endlessly. Unless the competitive multiplayer did not set. He is completely inappropriate, bad and does not deserve attention.
Far Cry I found my niche. This is a cheerful exotic trip to a place where you would never have dared to go personally. There you will certainly be waiting for drugs, executions, furious badgers, charming chief villain, mysticism and a bunch of riddles. You will certainly kill several hundred people, become famous and get acquainted with a bunch of charming psychopaths.
Despite the fact that structurally we have the next “towers from Ubisoft“, These are the best” towers from Ubisoft»The year where all components work and do not bother. The game perfectly balances between freedom and linearity, between stealth and a hurricane action. And if you are already fooled by the capture of the towers, then just jump to the upper floor from the helicopter.
Pros: organic combination of a dozen game mechanic;high -quality plot missions;well -furnished choice;excellent dialogs;super -saturated map;working ecosystem;Thought out the world.
Cons: We have already played it;Some characters remain unsolved.
Far Cry 4
The best comments
Yes it is awesome, this is a compliment!
He laughed into his voice when Pagiga gave out:
-You have already decided who you will help? Lady or man? I would choose a lady. I understand, of course, you can’t say for me – but I am quite heterosexual.
But tell me, please, authors or users-it does not matter-did it seem to you that the protagonist has some kind of too strange motivation? Yes, what is strange there, there is no it at all. Well, he flew to Kirat, in order to dispel his mother’s ashes in some mysterious place, and then the rebels say to him: “You are chosen, you must free us Kirat! This was done by your father, whom you do not know and have never seen in your eyes! But you owe us!”, And the main character is like this with Pokerface:” Well, Okay “, and went to complete the tasks of some psycho. And these same psyche said that the mother of GG fought for Kirat, along with his father, it was only strange then why then she flew to America.
Gentlemen readers, you began to discuss about the analogue of the citra, and it all turned out into the flight of fans of JIRT (or what’s it). Karoche, return to the initial dialogue purpose.
But I can bang Amita and Sabala for this) I shot amyu shot, then her corpse drove to the car and blew up the car from the granotometet, and then pulled her carcass to the high mountain and threw it down on the stones, after which her body rolled into the water and him and himthe current claimed)
But this is a great nomination for the results of the year! And there are just four games (AC Unity, AC Rogue, Far Cry 4 and Watch_dogs).
No, well, how does he know where to dispel the ashes then? Unless, of course, do not go along the most logical branch of the game in 15 minutes, if you know, What i mean))) Yes, and why not a tourist kill 20 thousand billion soldiers of the regular army of a stranger state after five minutes of stay in the country simply?
But in general, yes, the ears are pulled strongly. Jubi’s scriptwriters already, it seems to me exhausted. Three AAA projects per year, but not in any normal plot a lot (
Your problem is that you are looking at the game too seriously. FC is precisely insanity, recklessness and nutty. And an important remarochka is exactly the game. Here gameplay for the sake of gameplay and variety for the sake of variety, and not for the plot or atmosphere. The game provides the most important thing – the pleasure of the process. She does not offer a revolution, which for some reason everyone constantly expects from every oncoming-transverse project and apparently already forgot how to just enjoy games, she does not offer a brainstorming plot, she offers dozens of fan hours and pleasure from the process. Fun.
Personally, in two years I really missed Far Cry and is very glad that it has not changed. In the future, of course, it will be necessary to bring something new to the series, but to scold a really high-quality and good project for not making himself unclear that he did not try to “re-miss” the genre-stupid. Thus, you can not play most of the outgoing games at all and water them shit for “nothing new”. Regarding the “chests” and “towers” at all I do not understand complaints, they will only call one place here.
Well, I repeat – try to perceive the frivolous game is not serious and learn to receive a fan, otherwise I see a kind of pompous and unrealistically serious dude, which is everywhere a deep meaning is looking for a deep meaning.
-Thidable tower for Jubisoft (they patented them or something or is it all the time of the towers of a particular company and such an original selling playing?),
– SundochyundochundiSundochundochundochundi
—Okhota to sew the next Herot. XXI century, with supplies to the locals is more and more in order – everyone runs up with the last small arms, in each hut in a warehouse with ammunition, and Glavger, like Marya, spends the evening after sewing – well, he has nowhere to take a new wallet, except from the extremeflesh of the rhino.
–Mashinkimashimshimshimshimashkims, a straight -by -back mountain country, but Detroit during the heyday, under each bush SUV, moped, airplane and miracle of the Kyrgyz -Nepal aircraft industry – Helicopter glued from shit and sticks
—Then the NPC. Now it is clear why they are spread rot by a local dictator. They, like water, can only be in three states: cry, dull and shoot (horizontally or vertically)
—The so stupid enemies, but equipped with satellite guidance and therefore accurate from a certain moment. Shooting at them from several km from the SVD, they will know where you are up to the nanometer, the fortunate their memory is very short, not in vain they are stupid
– We will again be a clear psycho, only now in the form of a mixkin mix with cooling. He must hysteria and screech like a bitch and poke everyone with a knife
—SUT will pull the elephant ears. Motivation is the main hero (of course, from the very first scene, he transforms from the greenhouse in the fuck to the fucking Rimbo) just a bunch to a puddle: go to fuck and shake the ashes, bitch! You have a darling stain on the ass – you are chosen! You are the son of Mahatma Gandhi!
—Idiic tasks. Save grandmother from wolves, drive at speed at control points, apparently to the fun of local chock -compliance and t.p. You are serious? Around the Civil War, partisan movement, nopasaran, death to the tyrant and so on and so on and nothing more to do? And how such an idea did not occur to the brothers Vasiliev when they shot the “Chapaeva” – a race on the tachas between Petka and Furmanov, and the main prize would be naked Anka in machine -gun ribbons. Probably because they had a good idea of what people are doing in the civil war, there are a lot of hijeen they are doing there, but obviously not racing.
Someone wrote higher that it was only better like in the headlights of the region, so it seems to me that this is a crafty to justify the spent mowing of three hundred – not better at all, and also because it is some kind of Ford conveyor, captured by the anniversaries,on which they are stamping which year is the same for a year, but already in three forms.
Good graphics, music by Bollywood ZBS.
