Far Cry® 4 Reviews

The basic mechanics are showing their age a bit too much for me. Far Cry 5 was my first FC game and I like it significantly more so that might color my review, but it's my truth.

absolutely love this game- i think it has one of the best settings in gaming. very rare to see a game based on india and nepal done so well. it does that have the ubisoft open world gameplay- find a tower, find an outpost, kill everyone, do a mission, repeat. but, the story, characters, and map are well worth it. it's between this and 3 as my favorite far cry.

It sets a bad precedent with digital games, that a game creator can go back ten plus years later and censor things they thought were fine at the time of creation. I am looking at Square for doing the censor for Tifa multiple years after release as well. I don't care what you do with a game that just comes out, censor it and adjust it to your hearts content. But don't go around censoring something from a decade ago, people bought the game as is that day. What keeps them from changing even more things and not telling you? I will leave this part of my comment here with a date below it as a reminder it happened. 4/3/2024 Edit I changed my review to positive as the change was claimed to be an accident. But I don't like that someone was that careless supposedly pushing an update. Date of revert is 4/4/2025 I will give some positive comment, at least the revert was quickly done. The game itself is an enjoyment if you are into the open world, gun play, exploring that most Far Cry games are. Some occasional graphic issues, but that could be a hardware thing.

Ubisoft broke all the ambient music in FC4 with a patch years ago and never bothered to restore it - some great music that fitted the Himalayan setting perfectly and really added to the game. There was a big patch yesterday so I had high hopes that they'd finally got around to fixing it but of course not. Instead, more than a decade after its release, there are now 2.5 GB worth of bras and loin clothes on the very slim number of characters with partial nudity and another UPlay installer in the game files. Ubisoft are incapable of not shooting themselves in the foot.

This game is amazing however i have encountered so many bugs and weird optimization. Hate the fact i can't change the wingsuit keybind..i keep trying to bunnyhop and end up wingsuiting straight into the ground and end up dying. Uhmmm another thing that was painful where the shangri-la missions. Remember when i first played the game on 360 i hated them back then and i still hate them 10 years later. The valle of yeti is mid enough..just didnt care for it.

Genuinely a great game, played it years ago. FUCKING HATE UBISOFT CONNECT THO- I FUCKING HOPE THE CEO OF UBISOFT BURNS IN A FIRE YOU ARE A FUCKING TERRIBLE PERSON

Stealthy censored with an update on April 3, 2025. 11 years after the release of the game.

Censorship is for cowards and subhuman degenerates who are incapable of handling reality

Some say Far Cry 4 is the peak of the series but i would not go that far..there are better titles in the franchise each with its own strength. The gameplay was great and fast paced, there are 100 ways to liberate an outpost and i'm not kidding ..if you decide to have fun just set something on fire hide and let the wind do its magic. You can free cages and use predators like tigers or bears to your advantage,you can even ride elephants but the real fun begins when you lure a few rhinos toward your enemies.. Chaining takedowns feels great, stealth is rewarding but maybe too op... you can turn enemies to toys just by trowing rocks..if you use a silencer or a bow it becomes a playground where you're controlling everything. Using mines and setting traps with c4 was my favorite strategy , it was so funny watching enemies trying to reach the alarm posts. Speaking of fun some of the side missions and dlcs were great ..i also enjoyed hunting in this game a lot. For its age this game still looks good and i consider it playable. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3436107952 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3431435060
