Far Cry 4

Far Cry 4 is an action-adventure first-person shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is the fourth main installment of the Far Cry franchise.

Plot
The game takes place in Kyrat, a fictional Himalayan country. The main story follows Ajay Ghale, a young Kyrati-American, as he is caught in a civil war involving Kyrat's Royal Army, controlled by the tyrannical king Pagan Min, and a rebel movement called the Golden Path.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Good graphics.
 * 2) Large assortment of weapons, adding new ones with guns from Far Cry 3.
 * 3) There are three different endings.
 * 4) *Two of the endings involve, whichever person you side with to become leader of the Golden Path. Being either Sabal or Amita.
 * 5) *The other is a secret ending. If you do as Pagan says at the beginning and stay where you are, he gives you Kyrat and has you and him go shoot some guns, which is practically the best ending.
 * 6) Ajay Ghale is a pretty cool protagonist.
 * 7) Pagan Min, while not being as interesting or entertaining as Vaas, is still an interesting antagonist as he never seems to want to actually kill Ajay.
 * 8) You can now shoot while driving and even get to ride elephants.
 * 9) The setting looks nice.
 * 10) Decent story.
 * 11) There are four fortresses in the world that are much more difficult to takeover than most outposts.
 * 12) The game has co-op.
 * 13) You can use a flying vehicle, the Buzzer.
 * 14) Funny quotes, like Pagan Min saying "I distinctly remember saying stop the bus. Yes, stop the bus, not SHOOT the bus. Stop. Shoot. Stop. Shoot. Do those words sound the same?"

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Amita and Sabal are incredibly unlikeable.
 * 2) Ajay doesn't have a good reason to go after Pagan since he's only there to scatter his mother's ashes.
 * 3) The only good ending is the secret ending at the beginning.
 * 4) *If you choose Sabal to be the leader, he has you kill Amita and the player will see him doing exactly what was foretold in Yuma's vision. He is seen slitting the throats of Amita's supporters right in front of Bhadra who is barely visible inside a litter. Sabal justifies his actions by saying sins against the gods can only be cleansed in blood. Basically turning Kyrat into a brutal Theocracy.
 * 5) *If you choose Amita, she will have you do the same to Sabal and do the same as in Yuma's vision, forcibly taking children from their parents to build up an army and manage opium fields. She claims to be sacrificing liberties now for peace later. When Ajay asks what Bhadra thinks of all this, Amita says she's sent her away. When Ajay asks where, Amita says that it doesn't matter as she cannot come back. This implies that Bhadra has either been sent into exile or has been killed.
 * 6) Pretty much the same as Far Cry 3 but with a different setting.
 * 7) The E3 demo looked better than the final release as with most Ubisoft games.
 * 8) The Steam version tends to crash a lot on Windows 10. Ubisoft still hasn't fixed this. Thankfully, the Ubisoft Connect version doesn't do that.

Reception
Far Cry 4 received a positive reception upon release. Aggregating review websites GameRankings and Metacritic gave the Xbox One version 85.92% based on 12 reviews and 82/100 based on 14 reviews, respectively. The PlayStation 4 version received 83.76% based on 57 reviews on GameRankings and 85/100 based on 83 reviews on Metacritic, and the Microsoft Windows version received 81.00% based on 9 reviews and 80/100 based on 17 reviews, respectively.

Trivia

 * Playing a pirated version of Far Cry 4 removes the Field of View control in the options menu, which can disturb some people. Funny thing is that Ubisoft didn't tell anyone about this until gamers pirated the game.
