Soldato
still not played FC3.. been sat in my steam lib for agessssssssssssss!
I went hiking in the Himalayas last Xmas. I didn't see much in the way of elephants, or vehicles either.
Gun-toting madmen, however. ..
I'm ignoring info on FC4, but based on FC3's plot I imagine it's a tale about investment bankers who are tragically stranded in the Hamptons when their 4 x 4 runs out of fuel half a mile from home, returning from an all night beach party.
Their iPhones all have flat batteries, the hired help have been given the day off to celebrate National Servitude Day in the Philippines, but the Markets open in less than two hours! How will they trade? The fate of their quarterly bonus depends on them being able to bump the price of corn and starve a few more Africans before brunch.
While the rest of their party stays with the vehicle, hoping to be able to survive for a whole hour on meagre supplies of champagne and caviar in their picnic hamper, the hero struggles to survive the perilous journey past residential compounds guarded by private security and highly suspicious of any peasant on foot.
Our hero stuggles on, getting his chinos stained and even stepping in dog dirt at one stage, resulting in him questioning the very fabric of his being. How can one so worthy be brought so low? And where is Miguel to take his pants to the dry cleaner and lick his shoes clean?
Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is buying exactly the same titles over and over again expecting things to change!
I may be being unfair, but after FC2 dropped the FC1 torch like a ton of bricks, then the totally unsympathetic frat boy scenario and "look at me, I'm a console game aimed at ten year old collectoholics" gameplay in 3 dashed my hopes of a return to form, I see FC4 announced and find my heartbeat remarkably calm.
Played about an hour of the first game, gave up. Just did'nt enjoy it, thought it was awful. And so, did'nt bother with any of the others.

The first Far Cry is one of the best games ever made. You have missed out.
It got boring for me the moment I realised I'd have to waste time hunting boring animals just so I could craft a sodding decent sized inventory
