Far Cry 3
Jason Brody |
Far Cry 3 is
an open world first-person shooter video game developed by Ubisoft. It is the
sequel to 2008's Far Cry 2. Far Cry 3 is set on a tropical island somewhere in
the vicinity of the Malay Archipelago, between the Indian and Pacific Oceans. After
a vacation goes awry, protagonist Jason Brody
must save his friends,
who have been kidnapped by pirates and escape from the
island and its unhinged inhabitants.
Gameplay
Far Cry 3 is
a first-person shooter, which also features role-playing game elements
including experience points, skill trees, and a crafting system. The player has
the ability to take cover behind objects to break enemies' lines of sight and
also to peek around and over cover and blind fire. The player also has the
ability to perform silent "takedowns" by performing melee attacks
from above, below, or close behind. The game's narrative director, Jason Vandenberg,
said that the story mode map is around ten times larger than in the game's
previous installments, indicating that it is still an open world sandbox game.
Players are given the ability to survey and plan out their attacks with stealth
takedown combinations and also tag enemies with the camera in order to track
their movement once they break the player's line of sight.
The game
also includes a variety of side-quests. One such side-quest involves the player
hunting the many different wildlife species on the island for upgrading
purposes. There are even some rare hunts that the player must undertake to
reach the highest level hunt upgrades. The rare hunts feature wildlife not typically
found during normal play.

He
returns to find Dr. Earnhardt's house on fire. He looks for survivors and finds
Dr. Earnhardt lying wounded. He tells Jason before dying that he tried to save
Jason's friends but they were taken by Citra and her warriors back to the temple.
He returns to Citra to find that she has taken his friends captive. She has
become absolutely enamored with him, seeing him as the reincarnation of the
Rakyat's mythical warrior ancestor. After Jason walks through a hallucination,
the player must then choose whether to execute his friends and remain with
Citra or save them and leave the island. If the
player chooses to join Citra, Jason executes his friends and has sex with
Citra. Just after it, Citra stabs him, saying that their child will lead the
tribe, and that he dies as the warrior he has become. If the player chooses to
save Jason's friends, Jason comes to his senses and saves his friends from
execution. Citra attempts to convince Jason to stay by claiming his friends
will move on, and that he should stay in the jungle and become king. Jason
states that the violence is over and that there will be no more blood. Dennis
arrives claiming that Citra saved him and the other followers. He attempts to
kill Jason for betraying Citra, but Citra moves in front of Jason and is
stabbed. Citra tells Jason she loves him and begs him to not leave before she
dies, with Jason sadly apologizing to her. Dennis, shocked at what he has done,
breaks down in tears over Citra's body. Soon, Jason and his friends leave the
island by boat. Jason narrates that he can't come back from what he has done,
as he believes he's a monster and feels the anger inside him, though he also
believes that there is still somewhere inside him that's more and better than
that.
