 Let's play Far Cry 4 .png) Hi, I'm Vitamin Me and you might know me from LPs of ye olde games like Mechwarrior 2 and Fire Fight. Lately I felt like revisiting this wonderful action game again: it's got some great guns, missions and environments. The game If you're not familiar with the Far Cry series, you've probably been living under a rock, but let me give you the gist of it: you're a tourist in some faraway land run by an evil dictator type, and must now use your hunting and murdering skills to restore peace to the galaxy. We are Ajay Ghale, traveling to the India/Nepal-like country of Kyrat to spread our mother's ashes. Things quickly take a turn for the worse when we run into a checkpoint at the border. The cutscenes do a good job of telling the story, so I'll leave it at that for now. For the action, there's plenty of times where we can go stealth, using a silent bow and arrow (which can be a nice challenge) or use any of the many guns, grenade launchers etc. The playthrough During our time in Kyrat, we'll be able to choose missions to advance the story, and depending on which missions we accept we'll get a different ending. This is where YOU, the ~audience~ come in. You can suggest which path we should take at times. I've beaten this game twice (I think?) in the past, and I'll be focusing on keeping a good pace for the LP. I don't want to drag this out to a 100% 70-part video run. This will be a video run with an update anywhere between once to multiple times a week. I'll try to get a decent mix of story progression, hunting/upgrades and sidemissions for each vid, but we'll see how it goes and if there are any requests for doing particular side missions or activities. The videos Part 1 - Beating the game Part 2 - Prologue and bell tower Part 3 - Attack on Banapur, freeing hostages and liberating first outpost Vitamin Me fucked around with this message at 07:38 on Apr 2, 2024 |

Ah, Far Cry 4, not as stupid as 5, but not quite as refined in gameplay. Probably the best one that isn't blood dragon, really.

Those are the only two Far Cries I've played. Glad to know it's all downhill otherwise.

FarCry 4 has the absolute best villain (Suck it Vas!) just for the trash talk alone. God, I love this game.

When you said you've beaten the game twice were you counting the joke ending? Because if so you've beaten it three times now and you should update the OP.

First update! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXYdRBVTYkQ So this is mostly getting used to the gameplay again, doing the prologue, buying our first weapons and doing the first upgrades. I've added noteworthy events in the vid to the description with timestamps. Already ran into a little bug where, if you restart the first mission, the mission doesn't trigger because you need to cross some kind of area-border and the restart puts you inside that area. Apart from that we don't have many difficulties, most animals we encounter are sniped pretty easily. We also unlock the first skills, next time we're going to use the new hunter syringe we unlocked

I think those spinning pillars are prayer wheels.

Part 3 is live! Chapter 1 is done. https://youtu.be/1Li9OmW-p6Y These first missions were a bigger challenge than I expected..I edited out a couple of failed attempts, I constantly was on fire because people kept throwing molotovs everywhere. The first outpost is easy though

Having only played Blood Dragon, it's interesting to see how similar this game is, plus the added depth of a full Farcry game. I kinda wish they'd do a Blood Dragon sequel since it was gloriously silly, but I also feel like it'd run out of ideas and overstay its welcome pretty quickly. Looks like it also has the same awful bullet scatter on the pistols, though. What happened during the village defence mission when that shotgunner came around a corner and bumped into you? It looked like you went fully-auto on him for about a second without any shots connecting somehow before he bashed you with gun.

Looks like it also has the same awful bullet scatter on the pistols, though. Yeah just looked up that moment and it seems my rifle might've been too close to the enemy, efectively firing through/behind them..bit wonky for sure. In these assault situations you really have to be ready to do close-combat takedowns, luckily I was on time in the hostage mission later in the vid, around 31:56

I’m curious about how the sequels changed the gameplay, if at all. Aside from new locations and new villains I don’t know anything about 5, 6, Primal, or any of the other ones.

Saving the camp seems like it's more in character, in as much as Ajay has one, since saving peoples' lives is probably what most people would choose and if Ajay is the one breaking the deadlock he'd opt for saving people instead of sacrificing them.

Sounds good, I'll continue today..hopefully I can finally spot some Baghals(?) to upgrade my ammo puch as well.

sorry, abandoning this lp..game is a lot moer frustrating than I remember, also uploading and editing tens of gigibytes of footage to get any quality on yt is a chore. Overall a lot of the gameplay just doesnt seem that interesting for a video
