As a matter of fact, quite a few reviewers got their underwear in a bunch about it, but if you know me, you also know that my panties are pretty much always well ironed. The game has no qualms in depicting sensitive elements like brutality, torture, racism, homophobia, slavery and drug abuse under an absolutely ruthless light. The Rook Archipelago is a wicked place, a den of scum and villainy ruled by some of the worst examples of human trash that the world has to offer, and Ubisoft Montreal definitely took off the gloves in depicting it. His sudden and volatile mood swings are simply a joy for eyes and ears, and he manages to be definitely scary because you don’t really know when he’ll finally explode and how big and damaging that explosion will be. Vaas may very well be my favorite villain in a very long time.
Whether they’re likable or unlikable, they’re all entertaining. Is Jason a pampered and naive puppet led around by the nose by Citra? A savior? A hero? Or simply a ruthless killer?Ĭharacters are one of the strong points of Far Cry 3, even thanks to some of the best voice acting performances I’ve heard in a while. Initially he wants revenge, then he seeks to free his friends and to help the Rakyat, and finally, as the boy that couldn’t even hold a gun becomes a deadly warrior, he starts killing hordes of enemies just because “it feels like winning”.Īs his own mental situation starts to become more and more unstable, Jason’s motives become the true protagonists of the story, creating an inner conflict that is truly entertaining and engaging to follow. He meets the native Rakyat tribe and their mysterious and dangerously beautiful leader Citra, and he discovers a reason to fight, or several. His older brother is the first to get gunned down, but Jason manages to escape.įreedom isn’t the only thing Jason finds once he’s free of his cage. He, his brothers and his friends get kidnapped by a band of modern-day pirates led by the mentally unstable Vaas. It’s during one of those pampered, rich-boy escapades in the pacific that he finally learns that there’s more beyond his sheltered every day life. Jason Brody is a normal dude, actually leaning a tad too much towards the pampered, rich-boy type that many of us would roll our eyes at.
