Why Far Cry 4 Is Already the FPS King

Somehow Far Cry has come to be defined by two distinct characteristics – Exotic setting. Bonkers baddie.

I am so on board with this notion they gave me a sailor’s cap and let me lob a Champaign bottle against the side of the hull!It’s defined by its prettiness and nastiness because mechanically, we take for granted that Far Cry will melt our faces straight off our faces. Its gunplay is so moreish it makes otherwise competitive shooters like Bioshock and Borderlands seem stale and chewy.That stealth system is wickedly robust! Not only does it put the likes of Splinter Cell to shame, but the only time you need even fire a bullet in Far Cry is when you’ve chained your third takedown in a row, marked the two remaining foes, throw a chokehold on one, swipe his sidearm and empty the clip into the remaining guard before breaking the neck you’re holding!
