Far Cry 3

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

With the amount of crashes I experienced per hour in this game I can say that I know the definition of insanity. More crashes than in any Destruction Derby games. However it didn't bother me that much, because I fucking love this game. This is almost a perfect game. I had played it years ago on Playstation, but with the added achievements I just had to get my fix somewhere, right? And I knew I would fall in love anew when I was giggling like a little kid being chased by four komodo dragons. Have you ever stopped to look at how they move? How they sound? They are MAJESTIC. Damn, I love komodo dragons. Yeah, yeah, the characters are great, the story is fun, I got the ending I deserved with some boobs in my face I guess. But the komodo dragons; keep hustlin'.

Still stands as one of the best Far Cry editions. Just wrapped it up again in 2025. Multiplayer is dead (servers taken down) but it was primarily a single player game to start with. All achievements work.

Unplayable on modern hardware. Just as Ubisoft added achievements. It's like some sick joke. Can't stand the practices of this company. I can't see myself purchasing another Ubisoft title in the future. 0/10

Fun game, and pretty much my favorite Far Cry game; However, the very first Far Cry will always hold a spot in my heart. I had to revisit this since it now has achievements on steam. Graphics at Ultra actually hold up well for 2025. Gameplay is the king here, Far Cry 3 is by far one of the most fun FPS games ever made and yes I needed achievements in order to come to that realization. 8/10 - Loses two points cause Ubisoft is one of the silliest companies in existence but then gains one point back because Ubisoft has semi redeemed themselves by adding achievements on Steam. Yes I know.... tacky. - Loses another point cause I don't give out tens, or in this case nines for Ubisoft cause I'm petty that way.

I played for an hour but i keep having a repeating problem. My game screen will switch to a windowed format whenever a few specific but common (key game mechanic) cut scenes happen. Such as getting attacked by dogs or opening the camera/binoculars more so its hard to get the screen to go back to normal through the settings if it will. This happens every time I play the game and I have not found a way to stop it yet either. Its a good game(I did 2 missions so far) but i cant play when its showing on the left side of my screen in a shrunk window. Edit: it looks this game never got an update for compatability with windows 11. Which is the reasons for the complaints about bugs/crashes.

Finaly Ubisoft decided to add achievements to these games, and i can play them again, theyre good ,fun and worth the time. Sadly this far cry 3 crashed for me allot. Game is pretty short took me 19 hours to get all of the achievements and basicly do everything what game has to offer. Ubisoft launcher sucks.

First of all, I was very skeptical of the ‘masterpiece’ label for this game, given Ubisoft’s track record. Maybe back in 2012, they weren’t as bad, but I’ve always had mixed feelings about them. Even their so-called golden age games like Prince of Persia, Rayman, or Splinter Cell never felt on par with their competition at the time. Anyway, I also had some prejudice against playing FPS games on a gamepad when this first came out, and I didn’t own a gaming PC yet, so I skipped it—without realizing I was skipping a game with such a huge influence on the industry. I had a moment of enlightenment when I realized that some of my all-time favorites, like Metal Gear Solid V and Zelda: Breath of the Wild, took inspiration from this game’s open-world design. Big shock! I had heard this before, but I dismissed Far Cry 3 so hard that I convinced myself it could never hold a candle to those games in terms of execution. I was wrong. This game executes its ideas incredibly well—maybe even better than my favorites (Zelda and MGS). The gameplay is fire! Also, my prejudice against playing FPS games on a gamepad? Gone. I played most of this on my Steam Deck, and it runs very well. The weapons feel great, the upgrades are satisfying, the skill tree is fun, and the story is both engaging and easy to follow. And the best part? It delivers all of this in under 20 hours—so much content without feeling bloated. I won’t bother with the newer Far Cry games because I know they’ve become the same bloated mess as most Ubisoft games nowadays. Anyway, I love this game. It’s amazing. I missed it back in the day, ignored it for over a decade, and now—holy cow, what an experience. I want more games like this: medium-length, engaging, a blast to play, with amazing gameplay. 9/10

Still just a masterpiece of a game. Also earned achievements right away either with my Ubisoft account or cloud save i had from 2012. not sure

Game crashes every 5 minutes, good shit Ubisoft.

ubisoft connect and horrible performance for its age are the main reason why i think you should not buy this game on pc despite it being a good game id rather deal with ten EA apps over 1 ubisooft connect thats how bad it is

So much dissapointed product. On every launch require enter password for Ubisoft service that I never doesn't have plan to use. Just one question for developers and company "How can you image do so bad?"

Bought this game on sale to replay the classic and remember what Ubisoft was once loved for. Ended up dealing with: - Ubisoft connect - The game constantly changing the resolution setting from native to the "apparently we are now playing Far Cry on Tamagotchi" - Changing language manually by directly going into the files of the game - Frame dips and micro-stuttering that gives me headache and somehow following guides from the internet now made that problem worse. Basically... I'm not a big fan of Ubisoft

game does lauch or work tried everything if anyone knows how to fix it lmk please

Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is launching the fucking game over and over again, expecting it to not crash. That is crazy. Its so sad bc far cry 3 is such a good game. Ubisoft fix ur shitty games.

The game was great but having to retrieve my strong password every time I wanted to play the game was extremely annoying.

ubisoft games in a nutshell, you buy a game, try to play it, oops you need ubisoft connect launcher or whatever, okay me login, oops a ubisoft service is currently unavailable. please try again later ( aka go f yourself u already paid us the money lol no u cant play the game whenever u want only when we allow it haha )

Cannot even launch the game because I no longer have access to a 15 year old Uplay account and it wont even let me link a new account. Their support sends you in an endless loop of account recovery links that ends in them telling you there is nothing you can do to recover your account. Great support Ubisoft.

DONT BUY THIS GAME. Ubisoft totally broke the game. Literally unplayable, you cant play without crashing the game every hour and sudden fps drop. Need to login Uplay for every time and cant play it offline when all online features are already removed. This is the worst experience I have ever had in life. NEVER BUYING ANOTHER UBISOFT GAME AGAIN.

Great game that launched the Far Cry series, though it's a bit short. The gunplay and graphics haven't aged well, but the story alone makes it worthwhile. Definitely recommend picking it up during a sale, but not at full price

Back when Ubisoft tried to make games that were fun and engaging instead of whatever the fuck they make now. Combat is decent, but pretty basic, nothing much to speak of there, but the story is where things actually get interesting. By no means is the story Shakespearean, or anything, but they did create a very compelling couple of villains, and an interesting morally diverse protagonist. Won't say much, to allow anyone who want to experience the game themselves to do so, but overall the game is a solid 7/10, simple, but fun. Once you get to the final island, it turns into an 8/10 bc you get something that makes every game better, but that's as high as it goes. As for 100%ing, it's pretty easy, albeit a bit time consuming. Fortunately, Ubisoft didnt have you collect ALL of the relics, and the other collectables are pretty small, so it's not the most difficult. Other than that, the takedown one with either parachute, zipline, or glider is pretty terrible and inconsistent. Took 3 successful tries to have it pop so, not much else I can say on it. As said, 7/10 overall, not bad Ubisoft, if only you could make a 7/10 game nowadays.

From islands to Africa and then to more islands, another fun installment from ubislop. I still find all the far cry installments enjoyable to play (idk about fc6 yet though) and this one's story is quite fun.

I like this game so much, but ubisoft connect and it various problems make me hate to play this game. My ubisoft connect always got crashed after 10-15 minutes played, require to login every time, sometimes fails, and i have to change the password before i play. Is there no solution for that ?

Ubisoft "You'd like to play a game that you bought?.... hmm lets see how about you sign in every time the game opens please." From what I've played it fun and the story's greats but Uplay sucks like always.

Great game, but the way the Steam release works is just God awful. Each and every time you want to launch the game, you must manually enter your Ubisoft Connect account information from scratch, there's no "Remember me" checkbox... It was so annoying that I replaced the game's EXE and DDLs with ones that don't request anything. Not like the online functionality works anymore either way, despite needing to login all the time.

I love this game. It's a little outdated now but back when it released it was pretty amazing. The story is fun and the highlight character/villain is Vaas. He's an absolute nut job with a quick temper and a lot of memorable dialogue with the most iconic being his "definition of insanity" rant. Hunting and crafting upgrades to your equipment, unlocking new skills to try out in combat, and taking over outposts are what make this gameplay loop very satisfying and it doesn't feel like it's dragging on at all. If anything, the gameplay loop feels like it's over too soon. If you're able to get through older games then this is a must play. In 2013 this was the first game I ever earned 100% achievements in and it was done on a PS3.

Impossible to play with all the crashes, no matter what I do or what advice I take I can no longer play the game due to it being impossible to enjoy. please fix the crashes!!!

Far Cry 3 Is genuinely a really good game overall especially since It's made in 2012 I haven't really seen any old games stick out as much as this one, the gameplay is pretty fun overall and the story is exquisite Vaas is a really good villain the only complaint I could ever have about this game is that they made the screen time of Hoyt the main antagonist kind of short compared to Vaas personally It felt as if they worked more on Vaas story and his way of expressing insanity more than they did with Hoyt. I'd say the game is a 10/10.

releasing updates on an old game breaking the ultra wide mod sucks! bar minimum at least support modern resolutions if you wanna release an update.

Although I liked this game and it was my first time playing/finishing it with no context, I still can't recommend it on steam due to how many times it crashed on me. I have a good PC and it seemed like every other mission the game would suddenly shut down.

Far Cry 3 is a must-play for anyone who loves open-world games. Its groundbreaking mix of immersive storytelling, vast exploration, and innovative gameplay set a new standard for the genre. With a memorable antagonist, meaningful player choice, and a dynamic world that reacts to your actions, it's no surprise that its influence can still be seen in today’s top titles. If you're a fan of immersive worlds and non-linear gameplay, Far Cry 3 is a classic that continues to inspire modern gaming. Highly recommended!

Pretty solid game, good old game that gave a lot of Nostalgia now that playing though again for the Achievements. Thank you Ubi ! This game is Legendary, the Villain are well written The Gameplay is fun, the Takedowns are great, the Weapon Handling are awesome. The only complain is that the Game had a tendency to crash... a lot 8/10 For the Crashing issue.

It was good, until Ubisoft thought I was playing too much, because there's no other explanation for them suspending my account multiple times in the same week. Thanks for this useless and fucked up launcher.

the story line is intriguing the graphics r good and its fun love it so far all around

mainly only good because of vaas and his actor being great. still fun tho, they gave it to me for free with far cry 5

Heard this was the greatest Far Cry game in the franchise, and I can definitely see why. This game was amazing. I spent a lot of hours just taking over outposts. I had to fix the game because it was crashing a lot, even though I have a decent pc. For anyone wondering, all I did was download a program called LAA (Large Address Aware), and it fixed it never crashed after that.

Ubisoft is trash and everyone agrees with me. Because it has terrible account system, i cant play the goddamned game!!!

Definition of Insanity? Buying the game back on steam when you have it in uPlay, because uplay is rubbish

the game isnt playable at this point. all of the npc ai is soo frickin broken u get hours just to get their attention with the rock. not to mention the ugly ui ux in this game i know its from 2013 but come on! thats too much! and some bugs where u can not see what the quick action button is! i spend hours looking online what it was not even gpt could helped me! aslo the hype of this game is too much. vas is only in about less than 5 sence and only 2 are intresting the rest are boring asf

They shut down all online features in the game but you need to enter your Ubishit password EVERY TIME you launch the game?! They really can't go bankrupt soon enough

The game is still as fun as I remember, but the Ubisoft launcher insists on asking for my password every single time I launch the game and sometimes refuses to connect. Let me put it this way: Logging into Marvel Rivals, a FULLY ONLINE, EXCLUSIVELY MULTIPLAYER game, is easier and far more convenient than trying to launch Far Cry 3, a SINGLE PLAYER ONLY game (and any other Ubisoft game, I'll wager). I don't care how good your game is if you keep piling up pointless, frustrating roadblocks on my way whenever I try to play it. You can keep my R$15 this time but, with this kind of "customer service", you sure as hell won't be getting anything else from me.

Ubisoft Connec/always online DRM? For a 12 year old singleplayer game? Fuck off. If this is the shit Ubisoft is doing to their fucking classics, then they definitely deserve to get shut down.

While the game is fun to play and I have fond memories of playing it on the PS3, I find the story lacking. The main character getting caught by the villain multiple times is frustrating and nonsense(not just this version FC 4 & 5 have the same nonsense), and the ending is disappointing in other word trash. Additionally, playing any game from Ubisoft or EA on PC is incredibly annoying due to their apps. You can't play offline; you need their app connected to the internet first. Every time I launch their app, I encounter problems such as crashes, needing to redo the password every time, and syncing the game to their servers even if I have disabled it. These issues waste half of our playing time on fixing garbage and useless apps. I miss the simplicity of older games where you could just click once and start playing.

Skyrim with guns ahh game Far Cry 3 is by far the best in the series and there's a plethora of reasons for that. It has the best everything except graphics, but with mud's mod they can still hold up great. The only MAJOR problem and it's a big fucking problem, is the PC port. I haven't had this much trouble wrangling a game since I tried to play Manhunt. You REALLY have to pin this fucking game down and show it who's boss. You have to isolate cores using Process Lasso and set your graphics to exact settings just to make it run, then you have to fix the game crashing every 15 fucking minutes. It's wild they left this game in such a broken and unplayable state, especially with Uplay fucking telling me I pirated the game when I clearly fucking didn't. Fuck this port. Anyways. Rook Island is one of my favorite open worlds in any game, it's so beautiful and packed with detail and secrets, while playing I was swimming and realized there's manta rays and shit which I hadn't ever seen before. There's tons of ancient architecture and sites of interest that really add a lot of lore to the Island. The world is so vibrant and lively so much so that you can find predators hunting prey animals out in the wild, and that connects to gameplay as if a tiger is hunting a buffalo and pirates happen to be squatting in the area a huge battle will ensue. The story is not my favorite in general, but it definitely is my favorite FPS story. Seeing Jason go from a spoiled brat completely out of his element, to a monster slaughtering thousands for the fun of it is so well executed. Speaking of Jason, he is one of the most misunderstood and underrated protagonists of all time. A lot of people let Vaas'/Michael Mando's INCREDIBLE performance steal his spotlight, but Jason is an amazing character in his own right. When I was a kid I couldn't really connect with him besides just jungle warrior hero, but as I get older I really enjoy his character more and more, even if sometimes he's extremely goofy. The line about the killing starting to feel like winning is so hauntingly delivered and it's a completely optional dialogue. Vaas is one of the greatest villains in any piece of media ever, but we already knew that. He is so charismatic and likeable that even when he's torturing innocents, you feel so engaged in his dialogue that you just want him to keep going. Sadly he's not even the main villain, which is one of this game's missteps. The animations are spectacular, which is a weird point to make until you see modern day gunplay. All of the animations of present are so over animated it becomes so incredibly corny and overbaked, I mean look at COD reload and inspect anims, they're just so cringy. Seeing Jason perfectly drop and reload a mag with no stupid flourishes and corn really makes me miss this time in gaming. It just sucks they removed the jamming from 2 because I could watch those animations all day. Definitely one of my favorite FPS's of all time. Shame that it set the bar soo high that every new FarCry game is just this with a new coat of paint and another gimmick.

One of the best games I have played that does character development so perfectly. Far Cry 3 is what I would say the game that set the standards for the industry on how to make an exciting open world FPS sandbox game at the time. There is tons of things to do in the map, different objectives and side missions, the crafting isn't complicated, you get tons of guns to play around with and many different approaches on how to take over an enemy camp. The game purposely places items such as animal cages with tigers or explosive barrels in certain areas specifically to spark creativity in the player. I had so much fun liberating garrisons in multiple different ways when I was exploring the island, from approaching it in a stealthy manner all the way to going guns blazing and shooting rockets from a distance. The story of Far Cry is so well executed as you see the progression of the protagonist going from a complete innocent person to a total psycho that just wants to kill the people responsible for the events that happen. There is even a point in the story where it is not even clear anymore to even the protagonist himself on what his ultimate goal is as he is descending into a path of insanity. The Antagonist as well is so expertly written and is by far one of my favorite villains from a video game. This game exudes complete chaotic fun but it is not a perfect game. Some side missions can get repetitive as they ask you to do the same task but just with a different weapon which in some cases is a fun challenge but ultimately leads to the same result and outcome. This goes for any side content you do, which can be liberating camps to hunting to getting radio towers. Collecting ingredients can get a little annoying, especially early in the game as your pouch does not hold a lot of items and it is shared with your whole inventory. The stealth mechanics don't work at times and can be broken. I had occasions where an enemy would be able to spot me from a mile away and other times where I would stand next to them and nothing happened, other times where one enemy spotted me then somehow the whole camp knew where I was even if I killed them. The game also has trouble running on modern hardware, I had to download a software where it limited my CPU cores as having more than 4 was a problem and would constantly crash my game. The Biggest Con was Ubisoft Connect, you have to log in and be connected to play your game on Steam... which means you cant play offline. This is probably the best Far Cry that was published besides Blood Dragon. Get it on sale, it goes for very cheap or get it full price, you will have tons of fun driving through the jungle shooting pirates and liberating camps while hunting animals and setting things on fire. Highly Recommend.

You're telling me I now have to sign in to a third party launcher so I can play the game at 10 fps? Sign me up!

After getting all the achievements thanks to Ubisofts recent update to add them in. I can now leave my recommendation on this great game. Still holds up today and one of the stronger games in the franchise. Price is quite cheap too but I'm sure its been on sale several times before so I would advise waiting. I had a few graphical issues and FOV problems but I think that was down to me trying to play on an ultrawide monitor which did not work out at all, even with Flawless Widescreen.

After 42 hours of playing i made 100% game complition on steam and on save file this game its just a blast had a lot of fun playing it and i will play int again in a couple of months for sure,for me i feel like far cry 3 its the best from his time and even better then far cry 6, story wise was way over the top having our character becoming even more bloodthirsty then Vaas and Hoyt combined its a great game i 100% recomand it.Greatest Far Cry form the franchise

the game is good, even without multiplayer. but ubisoft make it stupid with the launcher .. WHY DO WE NEED LAUNCHER AND INTERNET FOR A SINGLEPLAYER GAME ONLY DUDE ??!!! I WANNA PLAY IT OFFLINE

Without a doubt my favourite Far Cry game in the series. Very good story with many fun side activities to do along the way. Far Cry 3 also has one of the best antagonists (Vaas) in gaming history. 9.6/10 definitely recommend.
