Far Cry 3 was one of the best games of 2012, surprising the unsurpassed complexity of the open world. Gorgeous landscapes, colorful characters, an intriguing plot and unusually diverse gameplay - all this in absentia fell in love with millions of players before the release. However, further on, in order.
A small review of Far Cry 3
Starring Jason Brody, an energetic guy who, along with his friends and girlfriend, sets off for the tropical Rook archipelago. There they come off to the fullest: they sunbathe on paradise beaches, swim in the crystalline waters of the ocean, parachute jumps and throw parties in clubs - a sea of positive emotions and adrenaline. Unfortunately, after an unsuccessful parachute landing inland, the company ends up with pirates, from where Jason miraculously escapes.
A few minutes later, the protagonist joins the local underground in order to help his friends and free the island from ill-wishers in the person of slave traders, marijuana planters and many others. After some time, Jason studies the most important principles of survival in the wild jungle, picks up a machine gun, eats psychotropic mushrooms and goes on a total sweep of gangster camps. In general, uniform madness.
The game impresses with the enormous size of the open world, where small villages, outposts of bandits, ubiquitous towers, military graves and wonderful pictures of the local nature, admiring its beauty, are located.
Story tasks are spelled out very well: they are interesting, dynamic, and they are passed in the same breath. In addition, charismatic characters only complete the overall picture of the delight that arises from the vision of history in Far Cry 3.
As for pumping, the developers have not forgotten about this element either. So, in the game there are 3 branches of character development, responsible for stealth, open combat and survival skills. Plus, with every skill learned, Jason Brody gets a new tattoo, which by the end of the passage covers the entire arm of the protagonist.
There are also craft items required to create certain resources. It is possible to get them by collecting plants or killing animals, which are measured walking around the expanses of the islands. Species diversity is very large, so the hunt will not get bored even after 20 hours of gameplay.
Multiplayer and co-op
In addition to the single player campaign, Far Cry 3 has other modes: multiplayer and co-op. Regarding the latter, the joint game includes several missions, united by a single plot and four different characters. During walkthroughs, 4 players fight off the enemy crowds, and also perform some tasks. In addition, at some moments small mini-games are included, where each of the lobby participants can compete with “colleagues” in the ability to drive vehicles or shoot with a sniper rifle.
There was also a place for multiplayer, where vast cards with a unique design were prepared. Moreover, the weapon is amenable to modernization, and for a series of killings you can call on various kinds of help that everyone has already seen in Call of Duty.
Jason Brody Biography
The main character of the game "Far Edge" - Jason Brody, was born in Santa Monica, USA. In addition to Jason himself, the family had 2 more children: Grant and Riley Brody. Screenwriters serve the character as an educated person who graduated from high school and college “excellently”, which promised a cloudless future and an excellent job. Along with this, Jason is a cheerful, determined and open-minded hero who plays sports and meets with Lisa Snow, a very attractive girl who dreams of becoming a popular and highly paid actress.
A few years after graduating from college, a group of friends travels to the Rook Islands, which seem like a true paradise on earth. It is full of golden beaches, noisy discos and elite alcohol - and what else do golden youth need?
After being captured by the pirates, Jason and Grant manage to get out of the cage where they were being held, which prompted the brothers to escape. Unfortunately, you, acting as the main antagonist of the game, shoots Grant and orders to kill the protagonist. By some miracle, Jason escapes enemy bullets and falls from a high ledge into the river, after which he comes to his senses in an unfamiliar tent, where a rebel group found refuge. It is the latter that will give us most of the story missions, as well as teach the player the various tricks of survival in the jungle, which Jason Brody so desires. Far Cry literally captures with his head this element.
In the process of passing, Jason becomes a picky and cold-blooded killer, for whom many emotions are alien. In addition, during the game, the protagonist will receive many tattoos, referred to here as tatau.
Easter eggs associated with the protagonist
Like other AAA-class games, Far Cry 3 has an impressive list of Easter eggs, which can be noticed only by the most attentive gamers. So, the list is something like this:
- At the end of the storyline campaign, Jason loses one of his fingers. By coincidence, this particular finger is missing from the main character of the first "Assassin's Creed" - Altair.
- In one of the missions where we need to find mushrooms, Jason needs to jump from a very high ledge into the water. Before the jump, he pronounces “Leap of Faith,” which is another reference to the most famous series of games from Ubisoft.
- Several times, Jason Brody refers to the legendary films "Kill Bill" and Star Wars.
- In the next game of the series, Far Cry 4, Jason recalls Willis Huntley, and Herk talks about Brody as his best friend and comrade.
About Jason, one can say much more interesting things, which we will tell about further.
Interesting Facts
By analogy with the previous section, here are some interesting facts about Jason:
- The game model of the protagonist has no head.
