Is Far Cry 4 worth $20?

[futurefields]

If you got Far Cry 3 for free and thought it was "pretty good" but "technically a mess" ?

 

[JumBie]

Its essentially the exact same game in a different setting, if that is worth $20 to you then go for it.

 

[Stringjam]

IMO, it's worth 3 times that much. I've had a blast with it.

 

[Majcric]

Yeah OP for 20 bucks I don't think you can go wrong. Unless of course you're like me and buy a lot of games but never play them.

 

[Zenoth]

I've been waiting for FC4's price to significantly go down before buying it.

Have I missed a 20$ FC4 deal somewhere?

 

[Arachnotronic]

I enjoyed FC4...

 

[shortylickens]

Oh look, its yet another thread about Far Cry 4.


Answer is Yes.

 

[Rakewell]

Is this a hypothetical question? Or is it $20 somewhere right now?

 

[Morbus]

In my opinion, no. I tried it at my friend's house when I was spending the night there, and I ended up playing Diablo II because FC4 was so boring and uninteresting.

If FC3 was your cup of tea, though, you might as well go for it. I played FC3 to the end and didn't enjoy it all that much. It was passable, infinitely better than FC2, which was dumb and idiotic.

FarCry, the first one, was the only good game in the series, and the only one developed by CryTek.

 

[KentState]

Not a bad game, but the controls are a little wonky and some of the gun play just doesn't feel right. Nothing like a honey badger taking 20 rounds and still coming after you.

This is correct. The faux 'Far Cry' sequels can't hold a candle to the original, and Crysis was the true 'Far Cry 2'.

Indeed.

I'll say another thing about FC4: it's easy as heck.

Seriously, I played it on hard, I was running around hip shooting everyone without a care in the world. And when my idiocy got the better of me and I got surrounded by ten dudes at the same time and I died, the game resurrects me ten seconds before, easy as pie.

Granted I only played like an hour, but in Far Cry one, the very first settlement would kick your ass on very hard if you didn't know what you were doing. As any game should.

Far cry 1 was challenging especially toward the end and the end boss.

 

[BFG10K]

The best game in the series is Far Cry 2, but I found Far Cry 3 to be very enjoyable as well. I actually like FC3 more than Crysis/FC1.

If Far Cry 4 is the same thing in a different setting, I'm sure I'll enjoy it too.

Umm, the end boss was just a dude in a suit with no skills.

When I played Far Cry 4, there was a glitch that allowed me to have infinite grenades in my grenade launcher near the end of the game.

Made it way easier

I think the most challenging part of FC1 were the darn trigens...

 

[cmdrdredd]

You can get the ending in 15 minutes. Not worth it lol.

Seriously there is a way to do that but if you actually play the game there is a lot of content, filler content, but content none the less.

FC4 felt like-

Go from point A to point B, rinse repeat.

Copy/paste of FC3 recycled gameplay...I got really bored after I did the same thing 50 times(maybe even before that). The game froze my computer numerous times as well(sli setup issues with game).

If you're into that type of thing, or are a "fan" of FC games maybe you'll like it more.
