Today’s game is Far Cry 3. I’ve been wanting to play this for the longest time after hearing so many positive things about this one specifcally, and after picking up 5 while on sale, and i guess this came with the bundle so i decided to play it after Red Dead 2.

I didn’t get very far out of the opening, but my first impressions of the villian were that i really like him. He’s that kind of deranged i feel like we don’t get very often, and when we do i feel like they usually get a redemption arc of some kind. I really like how unhinged he seems, it really makes him feel intimidating as a villian (which is honestly something Far Cry seems to do well from the other ones i’ve played).

Graphically it looks awesome too. At the native settings it would have had around 2012 it didn’t look to great, but after raising it to the max it looks really good. It can be crazy how future proofed older games are with graphic options. Ubisoft around this time especially seemed to do this with their games. I remember Black Flag being the exact same way

    One of the best things I’ve found for cleaning up older games is DLDSR. Hell, I try to use it on any game I can get away with, but on older games especially it’s great because you have so much excess FPS to play with that it’s basically free. The anti-aliasing effect of it is especially nice on older games and typically much better than the native AA solution.
