Now that Far Cry 4 has been out for a while, players have had a chance to experience its absurd chaos. So it might not surprise you to hear that people have a lot of amusing things to say about Far Cry 4.
Judging from Far Cry 4‘s Steam reviews, people seem particularly taken with the wildlife found in Kyrat. That makes sense — the animals are a huge chunk of what makes Far Cry 4 so good. But that’s not the only thing people like to mention. Let’s take a look, shall we?

Yes to all of them. But I will argue that “Now that Far Cry 4 has been out for a while” makes it sounds as though it’s been out for a lot longer than 10 days.
10 days feels like a long time when you’ve got a honey badger attacking your testicles for much of it.
And eagles trying to scratch your eyes out the rest of the time.
lol yeah I’ll pay most of those.
Once I was quietly arrow-sniping guards at an outpost when a honey badger appeared behind me. Thinking if I were quiet I turned around, only to be mercilessly attacked. Pulling out my assault rifle I shot the badger alerting the guards, so I killed them and grabbed the nearby Elephant, flipping the reinforcements’ car as they arrived, capturing the base.
Emergent gameplay rocks.
Haha that last one! Things like that make games awesome.
Blowing up elephants with C4 is amazing. Then doing it again with the dead elephants to see how high they fly is even better.
Only thing I haven’t killed in the game. Wasn’t happy about icing that snow leopard but I want them gear upgrades.
Right! I refuse to kill the elephants. In my game, they’re all named Ellie and they’re beautiful and I go and say hello to each one of them. I found one dead one and I was so sad and I wouldn’t loot it. I dropped some flowers next to her in tribute 🙁
you’re doing it wrong….
All mine are called Geoffrey. Used my uplay points to get the face paint on all of them. We go hunting a lot. Honey badgers can’t get you on an elephant.
Mine are called nellie but all they want to do is pack their trunks and trundle off to the circus
I would gladly pay an extra $5 for an eagle seeking rocket launcher that has chainsaws on the rockets. The amount of times ive been sneaking to an area only to be violated by an Eagle, waste half my arrows trying to quietly take it out, and then finally get sick of it and whip out a machine gun, only to get spotted… GRARGHHH. Also the distance between “Theres an eagle you can shoot”and “Minature eaglerape cut scene”is too damn large. So often ive drawn an arrow, and when its a fair distance away, it starts that scene so I cant shoot, when by all rights, that eagle is skewered squab.
Something they added to the game that I both hate and enjoy are the minature helicopters. I found one early on, and then immediately flew to each tower, landed on the tower to unlock it, then flew off to another one. Within 20 minutes, the first 10 towers were unlocked, with no climbing involved. Kind of ruins the experience. Also flying over an enemy base at a stupid height, firing grenades from the grenade sidearm is hilarous, but feels kinda like cheating.
Still, its enjoyable. Id recommend getting Farcry 3 instead for those who havent played either. Its significantly cheaper, and basically the same game but with a better antagonist.
my brain read that last bit as “but with a better ‘protagonist’”…none can rival the unlikeableness of far cry 3’s protagonist…
Second one is perfect.
Eagles are the new cliff racers.
