I understand that some people don't want to invest huge amounts of time into a game but you should never praise something for having less content than it should.
I don't want to put the wrong idea out there since this is an open world game and had plenty of things to do but this guys saying he want's to do the absolute minimum in the game and leave it at that.
He mentions playing braid and being happy that he'll never see the last level because he didn't have to. Braid can be completed in a minimal amount of time if you only focus on getting to the door but this ignores most of the puzzles. Why do this in a puzzle game.
[quote]Long gone are the days of Far Cry 2, when jamming, inaccurate weapons and confusingly beige terrain meant every long range shot was a terrible gamble.[/quote]
this was meant to get the player to replace their weapons often instead of carry the same guns the whole game. Besides I loved how tense a firefight got then the weapon broke up on me and I desperately had to replace my gun. The remark on the terrain being a similar colour to the enemies is for the player to scout the area and look for them instead of rush in and expect to have icons all over the screen showing who spotted you, where and what weapon they have.
I could be misunderstanding what he's putting across but I really don't agree with what he's saying.

He did that in a puzzle game because game journalists dont seem to actually like or be good at video games.
Oh yeah, the choose your own adventure plot between two incredibly boring and polarized cut out characters taken from the last minute plot devices bin at the dollar store? And you made those choices as the character who has literally no character development or expressive action the entire game? Right. I totally forgot how that game was great for the story aspect. The main character is literally a fucking random guy from the street who decided to return his mum's ashes to a fucking war zone, and bar the entire idea of that being a bad one alone, somehow manages to just be 100% a-okay with murdering thousands of people when the day prior, he was probably waiting in line at an airport Starbucks for a latte? At least in FC3 your character had SOME motivation to do all those things, he had some canon reason for being okay with the idea of killing all those people he did. FC4 was great for the environment and exploration value, but the "story" was fucking trash and borderline non-existent in many areas.
I mean holy shit, the main character has no fucking opinion half the time, he's just totally okay with doing all this shit? He's a fucking stereotypical corporate yes-man.
If it truly let me choose my own adventure it would have added an alternate story continuing that early game "alternate ending" where you [sp]actually join Pagan and fuck shit up[/sp] rather than making it an easter egg cutscene.
I really don't care about the people you work with in the actual story, he would at least give some fun as shit missions.
Sounds great, Far Cry 4 is now at the top of my to-buy list.

Unless you're getting it on sale, don't bother.

dont rate this guy disagree he'll fuck u up
If you haven't played FC3, I'd say FC4 would be good to buy for 50-60, but if you have I'd say wait until a price drop or sale. It's a really fun game(and a straight upgrade over 3 gameplay wise) but it doesn't really add that much, at least not as much as a new Far Cry game usually does.

The whole yes-manning in the game is them just making a character without any character (ala Half life 2 but doing it wrong) because everyone complained about Jason Brody actually being a character.
Far Cry 4 is just Far Cry 3+ basically. It just adds more stuff to do and more gameplay elements, which is a good thing if you liked FC3's gameplay.
