Far Cry® 4 Demo.Far Cry 4 – Andro Dollar

FC4 ‘s overpowered stealth and its decision to spawn enemies willy-nilly around the areas of operation undercut both of those tenets. That the gameplay hews too close to 3 is disappointing, but even worse is that the story sticks to the template established on Rook Island rather than in Blood Dragon. Being a followup to the retro-sci-fi cheesefest might have prevented FC4 from being serious , but solemnity is unnecessary and probably undesirable in a game that asks the player to skin four rhinos to make a single wallet, then jump off a Himalayan mountain in a wingsuit.

At any rate, a tale of laser cyborgs and fire-breathing dinosaurs would be no more incongruous with the demands of gameplay than FC4 ‘s artless and wool-headed musings on tradition, pragmatism, and the madness and betrayal inherent in civil war. Negative critical response to Far Cry 3 ‘s “mighty whitey” narrative seems to have scared FC4 ‘s writers off from doing anything even marginally interesting with their setting.

The resulting neutered narrative feels like nothing so much as a series of setups for twists and gut-punches that never actually bother to arrive, and Ajay shoots his way through all of it without experiencing a moment of genuine emotion. What little story exists is constructed without apparent regard to quality. Mission dialogue is either dry, utilitarian exposition or unbearably long-winded bullshit.

Flavor dialogue is slung around carelessly—several times, the radio operator indicated that a political leader was becoming more powerful long after I had killed her. This sloppiness is consistent with the game’s shabby construction.

The existence of Assassin’s Creed Unity ensures that FC4 will not be the worst-made of the year, but it could have been a contender. I clipped out of the world several times, including in major mission areas. Utilizing what I assume was the same trick, eagles occasionally attacked me indoors. The theoretically-excellent autodrive feature never quite worked, as my vehicle frequently ground to a dead stop for no apparent reason.

Aiming and firing both felt laggy and inconsistent, and the sense I was playing a poorly-made online shooter was accentuated by enemies jerking around the map. Some locations refused to be discovered no matter how thoroughly I explored around the marker. As for the PS4 ‘s touchpad control, it’s terrible, and although the game remembered from session to session that I wanted that turned off, it wouldn’t actually apply this setting, so that I had to turn the touchpad control on and back off again every time I started.

Well, this review has gone long and I still haven’t talked about all the crap the player can do. There are chests and demon masks and locations to find, prayer wheels to spin, supply drops to pick up, people to tail, trucks to shoot from, an arena, assassinations to perform, towers to climb, outposts to take over, hostages to rescue, karma to gain, and three or four different species of hunting mission, some of which grant Ajay fabulous handbags.

If one of those isn’t within two inches of him, worry not. If a player finds any part of Kyrat that isn’t covered in busy work, FC4 spawns a random event as quickly as it can.

If a player refuses to participate in this junk, well too bad for her—so many of the weapons are walled off behind progression requirements that it breaks the economy, rendering money almost useless.

Even if it had made serious strides over Far Cry 3 , even if the gameplay held true to the series’s core, even if its story weren’t junk, even if it had been put together perfectly, I would still find Far Cry 4 annoying as hell. It’s not just that Ubisoft can’t execute; it seems like they can’t design anymore. To compensate, they’ve just slapped whatever crap they can onto an open world in the desperate hope that large portions will make up for the flavorlessness of the meal.

Instead, I got sick of chewing, and longed for the days when Far Cry just shut up and let me shoot some guns. Rating: 5 out of There is an earlier version v1.

You can download the v1. The newer version seems to run fairly well on a Windows 7 64 box, but the earlier versions run on some Windows 7 64 systems I tried, but not others. You may need to use a virtual machine with WinXP or real vintage hardware to get it running properly. The only version I could not find was version 2.

Update: v1. The v1. You will also notice that the landscape in versions 1. Another big difference between v1. I noticed on modern machines none of the demos exit properly at least for me so I had to alt-tab out of them and force close through task manager. Still on the hunt for version 2. So another great find for the Crytek X-Isle tech demos. These patches unlock hidden settings for all three tech demos. Look on the right side of the webpage for English language descriptions and you will see the patch downloads for X-Isle v1.

This allows you to roam the early tech demo map, which is different than the Dinosaur Island map, which was not an option in the original releases of v1. Now if only someone could find the Crytek Engalus tech demo which is based on this early Crytek engine.

Note: This does make me wonder if v2. Devil May Cry 4 is already a certifiable hit in the console world, having shipped over 2 million units world wide since its release in North America in February. The Games for Windows version of Devil May Cry 4 will feature new modes, enhanced graphics options and additional content. Good things come to those who wait as Windows-based PC owners will benefit from having more modes and more visual customization options to help enhance their demon-slaying action.
