Far Cry 4 is the kind of game that’s deeply in love with its loot. It wants you, the player, to love its loot too. So it packs the stuff full of silly jokes and insular references. Here are some of the silliest I’ve seen so far.
Is this a Grand Theft Auto V reference? I’m gonna choose to read it that way.
Hey, maybe the gloves went with the pliers?
“Or a maxi pad.” Uhh…
Well, at least they’re consistent!
A tiny hangover sounds like the cutest possible hangover:
Rook Island was the tropical dream-land setting of Far Cry 3. Hey, that’s almost the same name as Far Cry 4!
At first I thought this was throwing shade at Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen, or both. But then a co-worker reminded me that the best match for “French-Canadian pop diva” is clearly Celine Dion. Way to date yourself, Far Cry 4!
Would you kindly appreciate this reference?
I don’t know what to make of this one, but it sure made me chuckle.
Jokes like the ones Far Cry 4 makes can be good or bad thing, depending on how you feel about video game loot in general. But at the very least, it’s nice to see that the new Far Cry can have a little fun with itself. Plus, reading the cheeky descriptions of items really helps break up the monotony of opening flashing chests in the game until your loot bag is full and then selling everything inside. Unless your wallet is full too, in which case you need to go kill and skin more animals to take care of that situation.
I’ll have a full review of Far Cry 4 later this week. In the meantime, check out my impressions based on my first 20 hours with the game.

These were pretty great. I laughed so much when I saw that swipe at Bioshock in the game. God I love this game.
I played far cry 4 , for 2 weeks , now I cant see any animal on the map, what did I do wrobg to make the aninals disappear, how do I get them back, I bought a
bunch of different maps,on here to
Have to add this game to my list, first Dragon Age Inquisition beckons. Glad they didn’t ruin this (with hats or something) and Dragon Age. Thank you so much!!!
You wanna know the funny part? At the martial arts competitions and even the lessons I attend, we take tampons and maxi pads with us incase of injury. Tampons are awesome for broken noses, bleeding noses etc. They worked FAR better than bandages and cotton wadding. You would stick one in your nostril or at the opening and forget it, it doesn’t leak after a while like wadding would end up doing for instance. Maxi-pads were great too, if you got a cut somehow (weapons displays etc), you would slap one over the cut, no issues with drippage or seeping.
Now you’ll never be embarrassed again when a lady in your life asks you to up some tampons for her!
lmao I drove home once with tampon sticking out my nose lol. I copped a punch straight to the nose, my fault for not keeping my guard up. Blood went everywhere, so stuck one up there and it was all good. lol
And then you got a second punch.
I am equally horrified and intrigued
Now if only I could get this buggy piece of crap to actually start, grrr.
Ubisoft!
