Some computer games for a long time remain in the memory of gamers. The passage of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon also became a special gift, which, although not everyone understood it, was still remembered for a long time.
Legendary series
It is worth saying that the project, which was announced by Ubisoft under the loud name "Blood Dragon", was only part of the third series. Of course, many will say that this is an independent story, however, earlier it was planned only as an addition to the main plot.
One way or another, in 2013 the Far Cry series of games was replenished with the ninth chapter. Now there are 4 main parts, to which there are 7 additional storylines. The first in the world appeared back in 2004. Then the main idea became clear. Before the gamer was a sci-fi first-person shooter.
Each main series of Far Cry games, although it was similar to the previous one, still had its main character. The first talked about Jack Carver. In the second part of this character, supposedly not, but there is a hero who is very similar to him - the Jackal. You can also choose your main character from the proposed 9 people.
The third part was about Jason Brody. But in the fourth heroes became more. Here and the famous Pagan Ming, also Mohan Gale, Ishwari and many others.
Branches
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is a first-person shooter game by genre. It can also be attributed to action-adventure projects. The development, as always, involved the company Ubisoft. The announcement took place on April 1, and therefore many fans of the game series decided that this was a joke.
The fact is that until the end no one believed that the announced project could be released. He was bold, quite original, and in a sense crazy. Few people understood that such madness as a retro-gunman with unknown cyborg ninjas on a tropical island can be embodied in a successful project.
One way or another, Ubisoft turned out to be brave guys who already on May 1, 2013 launched a toy into the world. In addition, they also convinced gamers that this is not an addition to the third part, but an independent project that does not require the original.
Technical capabilities
Since this action appeared back in 2013, all new modern PCs, of course, perfectly reproduce it. The minimum requirements for the game Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon are quite gentle. First of all, the player must have an account in Uplay. It would also be nice to have a stable internet connection.
The processor on the computer may be Intel Core 2 Duo / AMD Athlon 64 X2. RAM - from 4 GB. The video card must support DirectX 10 and have 512 MB of memory. It can be an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 / AMD ATI Radeon HD 2900. The hard disk must have at least 5 GB.
To ensure that the player does not have problems with the graphics and the game process, the recommended requirements for the toy are as follows: Intel Core i5 / AMD Phenom II X4 processors, which will allow playing on excellent graphics, RAM from 6 GB. The graphics card is preferably NVIDIA GeForce 560 / AMD ATI Radeon HD 5870 or the latest version.
History
Passage Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon does not have an intricate plot, as, for example, the fourth part. Here the hero is in 2007. He lives in a world that has just recovered from a nuclear war, and all the major states have finally reached a ceasefire.
It later turns out that a villain lives on a desert island, who is trying to recreate an army of robots. According to his plan, iron machines should violate the temporary world and again plunge humanity into war. Now a cyborg, the main character, should go to this island. Rex Power Colt must prevent the villain from stopping his activity and saving the world.
Game process
It is worth saying that the gameplay is not very different from the third part of the game, so the passage of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon should not cause any difficulties for the fans. It's still just a first-person shooter that has elements of a role-playing game.
The main character needs to move through the levels. On each of them to cope with enemies. In addition, it is necessary to collect useful items and complete tasks. All successfully completed missions will bring experience points. They are also given for the destruction of enemy heroes.
The cyborg has special skills that should be developed for the successful completion of tasks. Weapons can also be upgraded. The main highlight of this add-on is the retrostyle: all heroes and artifacts, the world around send the gamer to the action movies of the 80s of the last century. The whole atmosphere is supported by graphics and music.
Many fans were delighted with what the Russian language is in the game Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. All characters were voiced by Russian actors. For example, Dr. Carlisle received a vote thanks to the famous Alexander Kotov.
Characters
In addition to Sergeant Rex, there are other main characters. Ike Sloan became his antagonist, deciding to break the temporary peace and provoke a war. On the island, he decides to create an army of robots, which will help bring his plan to life.
Also in the game, the gamer will meet cute Elizabeth Darling. Despite the fact that she previously worked for Sloan, Darling still decides to take Colt's side. He wants to save the world with him. By the way, Colt has a best friend Tyrone Brown. Thanks to his hacking skills, he also helps our hero.
But Dr. Carlisle, voiced by Alexander Kotov, is a negative character. He, like Snowden, dreams of breaking the world and helps a mad villain.
Santa Barbara
As usual, the developers made sure that the passage of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon was not boring. All the events that will occur are related to Rex Power Colt and his life.
Before the player, a sergeant appears in the past, and now cyborg Colt. He previously served in the US Army. Colonel Ike Sloan then commanded them. Colt defended his homeland and was a fairly experienced soldier.
He fought with Spider in Vietnam. It was there that they died. Further, the government decided to engage two friends in a special program. After that, two dead soldiers became cyborgs of the Mark I model. And by the beginning of 2007, they had improved to the fourth version. Much of what happened in the past, Rex cannot remember.
The main character turned out to be quite interesting. He often throws caustic phrases, jokes and shows indecent gestures. There is, by the way, a reference to Star Wars, but you should not reveal secrets. It is likely that Colt's glowing eyes are a reference to the Terminator.
Game for adults
Speaking about the features of the game, it is worth returning to the style again. The project was created as if for an adult audience. Indeed, it is unlikely that those players who still go to school will be able to understand and appreciate the huge number of references to cult films of the 80-90s of the last century.
Here you will have to remember everyone's favorite “Rocky”, “Rambo”, “Cyborg” and “Escape from New York”. All the science fiction films and action films, on which many young people grew up, seemed to have grown into the style of the project.
You will be able to plunge into this atmosphere from the first minutes. The introductory video is a reference to the old Dandy games, and pixel art with 8-bit music will cause nostalgia for every gamer.
General impression
Despite the seemingly tragic plot, the game still remains quite frivolous. It is undesirable to play it in translation. There are a lot of jokes that are based on a pun. Those who do not know English have been prepared with voice acting, which, although it “kills” some speech moments, is still a tolerable alternative and is also quite capable of transferring the player to the desired atmosphere.
By the way, in the original Rex is voiced by Michael Bean, who to this day remains for many the legendary actor of 80s action movies. It seems that this is the best option for the role of Colt. The main character is ironic and sends the player to the past all the time. He often points to moments that take us to the films Terminator, Robocop, or Predator.
By the way, it is these references that help to cope with rather tedious additional tasks. Each time you expect that you are about to return to the past again, at the same time as his heroes and antagonists.

Despite the fact that the game will not seem complicated to fans, for some it may require third-party help. On the Internet you can download for the game Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon save. This file usually contains all the saved chapters with a fully covered plot. Here all the locations are open, the bases are free, and objects are found.

Game on the internet
It’s known that if you have a licensed version of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, it will be easy to play online. If you downloaded the pirated version, then the game on the Internet is not available to you. In general, to fix this problem, you can use the tips of experienced players. Some, of course, do not work. This is due to the fact that pirated versions are always illegal and cause a lot of problems.
Nevertheless, if you want to play with a friend on a local network or online, it is better to carefully watch when downloading a game whether there is such an opportunity. There are versions of "pirates" that do not immediately provide such an option.
There are also games that immediately contain special files that allow you to play on the network. If they are not, then similar patches can be found on the Internet. Also, these "cracks" allow gamers to use special mods for the game.
conclusions
It is worth saying that the game Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon was not bad. Nevertheless, it is very noticeable that this is only an addition to the third part of the series of games. It is more modest: here the world is smaller and there are not so many weapons. Additional missions here have also become easier. For them you can get money and improvements. Those who do not really like additional tasks will have to come to terms, as no one will give additional experience points or funds for the main missions.
Blood Dragon looks crumpled. And it would be possible to make a discount on the fact that this is still a DLC. Nevertheless, the developers made a mistake in the concept of the game. Such plot frenzy and style must be accompanied by wild activities and non-stop events. Instead, gamers have to do not very interesting tasks. Walk around the island, destroy a pack of dogs, save some scientist and fight with opponents.
Therefore, it is not surprising that many people like to set conservation to plunge into the plot. But just the main story, a huge number of references, the style of the hero and atmospheric character save all the ill-conceived gameplay.
