I watched it soar over the tree tops before dropping the pig into a cluster of bushes in the far distance. Its flight was laboured and slow, of course, because it was carrying a pig. An eagle swooped out of the sky, grasped the pig in its claws, and took off again. I was pretty pleased, but as I traipsed gingerly over to my prize, something unexpected happened. I caught the pigs quite quickly, and managed to snag one with a single sniper shot from some considerable distance. The game’s map shows you where you can expect to find certain types of animal, so you just head into the area and scout quietly through the bushes, or along valley pathways, hoping to sight your pray.
Yesterday, I was hunting pigs because I needed a bigger wallet. This has always been the case with the Far Cry series, which is much more about the player vs the environment, than shooting at enemies, but Ubisoft has really cranked up the anarchy this time. There are dozens of different types of creature roaming the landscape, all exhibiting their own needs and behaviours, and they do what they want, regardless of your plans as a player. The beauty of Far Cry 4 though is that the animal kingdom is a truly anarchic system, and these are very rare in video gaming. To those people I would just say, stay away from Far Cry 4 – because, among many other things, this is a game that weaponises elephants. Of course, this will all be shocking to animal lovers, particularly those who cannot bear any portrayal of wildlife distress. If you kill an animal you can skin it and use its hide to craft a variety of useful items, such as weapon holsters (so you can carry more guns) and wallets (for your cash, obviously). In the Far Cry titles, hunting is an important gameplay element. And by discovering I usually mean shooting. Instead, you can simply drive around Kyrat’s sprawling countryside, raiding enemy bases and discovering the wildlife. You don’t have to bother with all that narrative nonsense, though.
But with automatic assault rifles and a bag of C4 explosives. Although stunningly beautiful, the country is ruled over by a psychopathic tyrant, Pagan Min, who has enslaved the population when the game starts, the player arrives to usurp him – like Clint Eastwood in High Plains Drifter. The latest title in Ubisoft’s open-world shooter series is set in a fictitious region named Kyrat, tucked up in the Himalayan mountains. H ere is something that actually happened to me in Far Cry 4 yesterday.
