Great 10 hour-experience for those who loved Far Cry 3 and want that itch scratched a year later.
The setting helps too, very refreshing and entertaining. Overall enjoyed this one very much and surely recommend!
* Stupid jokes get you every time.
* Great conversion of the Far Cry 3 game.
* It is just as Far Cry 3, but comical.
As in the original game, the central theme is simulated violence (including computer games). The mythical element is directly related to television sets and movies. The main ally comes to speak directly about violence and games, repeating the cliché argument that “games are a coping mechanism, like any hobby. They demonstrably improve motor skills, problem solving, social interaction and self-confidence. And no study could prove a correlation between video games and violence. Frankly, anyone who thinks that games are bad is an idiot. ”
The trick here, as in Far Cry 3, is to make the player easily agree with that statement. The game, however, is full of ironic quotations, and this is one of them. Why? Because what the game wants to show you is how we love mindless violence. The game uses action movie clichés like avenging the death of your partner and saving the world from a megalomaniac, but the main idea is that the media is stultifying, and stupidity is often accompanied by violence.
The protagonist makes constant use of dumb puns every time he kills someone. He behaves like a 12-year-old, repeatedly showing impatience with any information that takes too long, even the tutorial. Scientists are called nerds, and the enemies are distracted with 20-sided dice instead of stones. To ridicule nerds is the typical aggressive behavior of a nerd, and this is the catharsis here: the game was made for nerds, it has a lot of nerd references, but it ridicules nerds because, as in the original game, it wants to work as a mirror. The stupidity of the protagonist is not new to the player, it is something that they can easily identify with.
The menus and game tips only reaffirm the obvious, and the game just reaffirms what should have been obvious in Far Cry 3: the critique of patriotism, the immaturity of the protagonist, his fascination with violence, his desire to be the hero and the alpha male, how you are simply being used…
Blood Dragon acts as a catalyst for understanding the moral of Far Cry 3. Here the player can laugh at himself, but ultimately he is the joke.
Conclusion: A first-person shooter mirroring Far Cry 3 in every aspect, but in a satirical and ironical way.
*Stunning visual effects.
*Pretty good story line.
*Bad ass voice of protagonist.
*Awesome zombie apocalypse vibe.
*Cool weapons and animation.
*Loading screen tips. :p
*And a bow. ;)
*Cut-scene style, looks like shit.
*Not a captive ending, other than that look.
*The final boss fight, no challenge at all. Just kill some hooligans.
*Collecting collectibles is easy, no fun. I remember, finding some of the relics in far cry 3 was pain-in-d-arse.
*There is no attachment to the bow :(
One of the best DLC I’ve ever played. If you loved far cry 3, then buckle up. You are gonna love what’s coming. It’s worth giving a shot.
