Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is a 2013 first-person shooter game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is a standalone expansion to Far Cry 3 and the eighth overall installment in the Far Cry franchise. Blood Dragon is a retro-futuristic parody of 1980s action films, cartoons and video games, and takes place on an open world island. Players assume the role of military cyborg Sergeant Rex "Power" Colt. Gameplay is largely similar to Far Cry 3, though several systems from the base game were simplified or removed, and it introduces the titular Blood Dragon, a massive dinosaur that fires lasers from its eyes and can be lured to attack enemy garrisons.
The game's development was completed in about six months. It was part of Ubisoft's initiative to release downloadable content that would appeal to newcomers to the series, and the team was tasked to create something unexpected as Far Cry 3 downloadable content. The game was inspired by movies from the 1980s such as The Wraith and Terminator, and recent movies like Manborg and Hobo with a Shotgun. The director for Hobo with a Shotgun, Jason Eisener, became the game's informal advisor after befriending the game's director, Dean Evans. Michael Biehn was invited to provide his voice for the game's protagonist, while Australian synthwave duo Power Glove composed the game's soundtrack.
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon was released for PlayStation 3 on April 30, 2013, and for Windows and Xbox 360 on May 1, 2013. The game received generally positive reviews upon release, and was praised for its gameplay, soundtrack and its 1980s influence, but opinions were divided on the game's attempts at humour. The game was a commercial success for Ubisoft, as it sold 1 million copies by August 2013. A remastered version of the game was released in December 2021, available for players who purchased the Far Cry 6 season pass. While the game did not have a sequel, a spin-off, Trials of the Blood Dragon, was released in 2016. An adult animated series loosely inspired by Blood Dragon, titled Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, released on Netflix in October 2023.

Far Cry Series Ranking Part 3: Far Cry 3 It's fair to say that Far Cry 3 changed the gaming industry, ironically making other developers do the same thing over and over again, except they all expected the exact same thing to happen.

    People continually say that the canonical characters for odyssey and Valhalla are the females, but we don’t see them on the cover of either game. Nothing wrong with the female characters, it just almost feels like there’s a cult out here espousing the female superiority in those two games, hear it on every single last video concerning them. Real weird.

    The RPG games are the best games and blow all the older ones out of the water. Sorry but it's just true. And I say that having bought 1 and 2 when they came out. 2 was amazing of course. But I think it's fashionable to shit on the RPG games, but they're honestly the best in the whole series. I don't care if they're "true Assassin's Creed games" or not, whatever that even means. I care if the game is fun and awesome, they are.

  • @Tig3r4ce
    @Tig3r4ce Před dnem

    Regarding Roshan's exit at the end, there's one little tidbit that I really appreciated: Mentor Rayhan, as she is leaving, says her full name: Roshan bint-La'Ahad. In AC1, our protagonist is Altaïr ibn La'Ahad. The [ibn/bint] bit is a patronymic (meaning "son of" or "daughter of," respectively), and I believe can also be used like a surname, so I'm pretty sure we're meant to understand that Roshan is Altaïr's ancestor-meaning she's Desmond's, as well. NGL I got really excited when I heard Rayhan say her name lol

    i think in more recent years Assassin’s Creed has fallen victim to (a) trying to follow trends instead of sticking to its core and (b) fans that do nothing but complain. Shadows is gearing up to maybe change that last part as a good majority of fans are excited for a game away from the mythology trilogy, though if I’m being quite honest ubisoft has been so fucking shit recently i wouldn’t keep any hopes up.

    I know im late to this conversation, but I find it cool that the Asgard missions are real myths from norse mythology.

    I saw a video that explains the corridor sequences as the main character goes insain from going on a murder scene, making him see things that aren't real and even bashing one dude's skull in with the apple because of it. Is this true? I don't know, but it does make sense.

  • @carloaB14
    @carloaB14 Před 5 dny

    17:26 I think we Basim waiting for his for Sigur to also realize that he’s a God and unlock those memories because they’re just reincarnated potentially over and over and over again So if he wants to take revenge, why would you take revenge on someone who doesn’t know a thing instead you show them what they did and then you kill him it seems convoluted but I think that’s what he’s doing it

  • @carloaB14

    I think there's a bit more depth here than you give it credit for The increased speed and more compact arsenal along with the more open level design makes Blood Dragon one of the most interesting stealth-combat sandboxes out there.

      The lack of fall damage contributes a lot to how good this game feels compared to base Farcry 3 I experimented a lot with Blood Dragon in particular because the Farcry compilation on Xbox360 was my first exposure to first person shooters Before that I mostly played gamecube, where the only shooters I really had were the first few Splinter Cell games

  • @griffithfgotaku2461

    Exactly , i don't get how some people praise this game as one of the best ( some even calling it the best in the whole series ) mediocre story , bland characters with the exception of élise , mediocre voice acting except élise ( again lol ) the writing in general doesn't feel cohesive and the gameplay is janky and clunky like it's from the ps2 era ( even some ps2 era games have better controls ) .
