      No, it's sort of the other way around The reason Far Cry is spelled like this is because it was made by Crytek and is the same reason their engine is called CryEngine.
      Their studio name predates Far Cry.

      The one thing thats terrible is the gun functionality and enemy AI. But only reason to play this game is the animal predator mode. That one is super fun. And one reason why i cant stand Far Cry after this because its all about dumbass commentary on social politics. Whats wrong with just running around in the jungle or places as a animal human predator thingy, sneaking or assault mode type of gameplay? Thats what matters to me is the fun gameplay elements, a mix of stealth and action. Thats why i love the first game (But yeah the gun gameplay is very bad). Thats probably why lot of people just turned it off before they got to the fun part!

    I don't believe you mentioned anything about the map editor or multiplayer, they were definitely the highlight of this series!
    Nothing was more awesome then playing the predator game mode on custom maps made by the community and myself on Xbox live. The sense of exploring new jungles, caves, islands and labyrinths plus the dread of being stalked by the predator in these unknown locations, created one of the most memorable and enjoyable gaming experiences I've ever had!

    If I'm being honest, I honestly liked the more serious tone in Farcry Instincts. The voice acting was really good and I enjoyed the dialogue quite a bit. I enjoyed Carvers dispassionate sarcasm and I liked how they portrayed the story in general here better then the original. I also loved how they maintained the 1st person perspective in cutscenes. While the controls could have been a little better, it was always immense fun to run after someone at full super speed sprint while following their scent trail and just absolutely obliterate them with your claws. As well, the stealth wasn't half bad...if not broken sometimes and it at least gave you different options in some sections. The canyon level is a personal favorite of mine.

      Yeees! I completely agree 100%. That hand-glider section was so much fun, and the cool radio broadcast about Dinosaurs at the beginning is so cool too. I love the Far Cry games but hadn't played this one until I beat it's campaign the other day for the first time. I genuinely loved the story a lot, and I think Jack's voice actor for Instincts is way better than that Peter guy from Classic. Its cut scenes help keep the F in F.P.S.👌♥️🎮

    One critical aspect that was overlooked: "The Most Dangerous Game" influences.
    Addtionally the theme of man versus nature and the subtle questioning of what it means to be human (Are we really better than the "brutal" survivalist nature of animals when we ourselves succumb to nonessential desires of wealth, status, and power?) really set the re-envisioned game apart from the original.

    I really enjoyed the early Far Cry games. 1 was definitely my favourite of the bunch, but I enjoyed instincts for providing a completely different experience and it looked pretty gorgeous on my xbox 1. (it was easy to be blown away by graphics back then imo :3) My favourite part of instincts was the map editor. I'd spent hours with friends just making levels and then goofing around in them. Whether it was races on hang gliders or jetskis or just hide and seek and where one had the predator serum and the other just had to survive. The ability to make "gorgeous" tropical islands on the xbox was truly fun.

  • @Gambiz
    @Gambiz Před 5 měsíci +1

    Farcry Instincts holds many of my favorite multiplayer memories. I remember having a blast making custom maps that my friends and I would play in my parent's basement, on dad's newly acquired Sony Bravia 1080p 55''.
    I would design the maps with my friend's playstyles in mind and make traps for them, like putting a vehicle in a particular spot hoping my speed-loving friend would pick it up and run it off the cliff I conveniently hid nearby.
    My best memory is from when we played one of my extremely unbalanced maps. Two of my friends and I decided to cooperate to kill my one friend, who was abusing the imbalance to the fullest by camping in the sniper tower. We ended up climbing the ladder at the same time when my camping friend accidentally fell down, landing on the guy furtherest up the ladder, who then fell down creating a chain reaction resulting in all of us falling down to die. We were so shocked as all of us assumed there wouldn't be any collision. We literally rolled on the floor laughing for at least 10 minutes, and every time we were on the brink of collecting ourselves, my friend with the most contagious laugh would break out in laughter, again and again.
    I don't remember exactly but I think the guy in the tower actually won because of that as well, since he got the kills he needed before he hit the ground. Or maybe the time just ran out. I can't remember honestly
    Anyways, awesome times!

    Oh boy Instincts has a special place in my heart. I played the original on PC beforehand and was really looking forward to this console version. Also I really liked how you can build your own map. Constructing levels was way easier and less complicated for me to do it compared to the PC version. I invited my friends over and we would play on each other's custom maps. Hell even my sister was down with it. I just remember one of the map so I made was called Conquistador and it went high in the sky. Never had XBL so I couldn't upload it on there but I was damn proud of that map.
    One thing I do remember is the scene where you are injected. You are tied up and it is dark out and you start to hallucinate. I remember talking about this to my teacher Mr. Robertson. I still remember him after all these years. We swapped CDs (he was a hard-rock kinda guy), he played guitar in class, and to appeal to the student majority he played Snoop Dogg. The thing I remember most about him was a joke he told in class. He's a geometry teacher and to get us to understand what a 180 degree angle looks like he told us it is similar to his girlfriend he had in eighth grade.They are both flat. If by some miracle you are reading this Mr. Robertson thank you for high school fun.
    Now that the pleasantrys are out of the way, I have to say this game drags on. Your review was very fair. It also took me a damn near 3 hours to complete one level. It was the fuckin Sub-Aquatics level.
    One point you forgot to mention is the UNSKIPABLE INTRO GLITCH. Holy fucking hell that was like a 3-minute intro that you could not skip. Add that to the list when you want someone to really hate your game, next to the Kamikaze enemies (**cue Serious Sam**)

    My best memories of this game was playing the multiplayer with friends.

I like to think that playing these kinds of maps for hours really helped me get pretty good at doing 3-D platforming. I would highly recommend trying to check them out if you can. There's sadly no map search function unlike the other games but I'd bet some viewers still have some map files on their consoles. I think I have a lot of them still on my 360. There may be some places online that have some of the maps but I wouldn't know too much about them.
