Far Cry 3

I highly recommend checking out a tool called Large Address Aware found on TechpowerUp that patches the game executable to be able to use more than 2GB of RAM and stops crashes completely! I was having issues with this game crashing really all the time, but after some digging, found out that this game is a 32-bit process and cannot use more than 2GB of RAM, since modern Windows 10 and 11 are resource hogs and have become so inefficient, the game's executable will exceed 2GB of RAM and crash. Large Address Aware (LAA) fixed this issue completely.
It's an absolute masterpiece of a game that is worth revisiting, with one of the most memorable character Arcs I've ever seen in a game so far, the transformation of Jason Brody is both entertaining and chilling, and of course will not forget to mention one of the most famous antagonists in game ever created, Michael Mando as Vaas was truly stellar and brought much more life to this game with his performance.
If you've never played it I wholeheartedly recommend you do, this game was made back in the days when Ubisoft was still a respected name in the industry, back when they still had soul left, before they devolved into the corporate, data driven, slop makers they have become.
It's beautiful, chaotic, emergent, where anything can happen while you're out exploring. What a game! They don't make them like they used to.

game good
ubisoft bad

why the fuck do i need an internet connection to play a singleplayer game
just to load your stupid 3rd party launcher? f off ubisoft i hope you go under

Far Cry 3 came out in 2012 and I just played it now.
It's an interesting and exciting story, but the ending disappointed me. I chose my friends because I saved them throughout the game.The characters are vibrant and well-developed.
The protagonist, Jason Brody, often becomes unhinged, either due to the influence of drugs or the traumatic events he has endured.
The soundtrack is superb, particularly during the mission to burn the plantations.

If you dreamed of a game where you could become the king of the jungle, fight pirates and experience a story that will stick in your memory, then Far Cry 3 is your perfect choice.
Why is it a masterpiece?
1. A plot with adrenaline in the blood. You play as Jason Brody - an ordinary guy who turns into a real warrior, saving his friends from the mad pirate Vaas. This antagonist is one of the most charismatic villains in the history of games! His phrase "Do you know what madness is?" will become your meme for years.
2. A world that lives. The tropical Rook Islands are not just a backdrop, but a real adventure reserve. Here, tigers hunt buffalo, pirates argue about life, and you can set fire to a marijuana field to Skrillex tracks. Yes, it's as epic as it sounds!
3. Freedom of action. Want to quietly eliminate enemies with a knife? You're welcome! Attack an outpost in a jeep with a flamethrower? Easy! Or release a leopard from a cage to do all the work for you? This is Far Cry 3 - here your imagination becomes a weapon.
4. Thoughtful gameplay. Hunting for resources, upgrading skills, capturing towers, mini-games like poker - you won't be bored. And there is also a harpoon gun that turns any shootout into a circus of the absurd.
5. An atmosphere that never gets old. Even 13 years after the release, the graphics are pleasing with rich colors, and the soundtrack fits perfectly with the madness of what is happening.
Far Cry 3 is the standard of the genre. A game where every frame, every dialogue and even a failed mission become part of your personal legend. If you haven't yet immersed yourself in this chaos, it's time to start. Vaas is waiting!
P.S. Advice: don't miss side quests. Sometimes saving an island from pirates is prevented by... hunting a rare tiger with a bow. And it's brilliant!

Amazing game with an amazing story of good,of evil and even KARMA
it will be nice to see a Remake of this one 10/10

Played through Far Cry 3 for the first time. Is the game really from 2012? The game looks really cool for its age! Or was there a graphics update? I was really amazed.

too bad it's ubisoft, but that aside, it's a beautiful game, great gameplay, loved it.
