![]() ![]() ![]() Slavers have your friends and will be ransoming them to their parents, keeping the money, and selling them to the highest bidder? That’s all very important, but upgrading your weapons carrier so you can lug around a few extra guns is going to take a couple in-game days worth of hunting. While the missions tend toward scripted scenarios, the time between them is yours to play with as you will on the island’s wide-open terrain. That last option has happened more than a few times, actually.įar Cry 3 is a game that’s happy to let you make the decisions. Alternately, I could have tried to be sneaky, failed, had the alarm go off as I dealt with the threat in front of me, and then had my face shot off. I could have distracted them one by one, leading them outside the observation range of their allies to silently dispatch them with a knife strike, which also has the advantage of offering triple experience for the kill. I could have put a bullet in the alarm box, then charged in full Rambo. I could have ignored the outpost and let its goons control the area. Not every victory will be that easy, of course, but it does show off the flexibility Far Cry 3 gives the player to handle situations.

These people are involved in the slave trade, and a bit of oversized pet supply makes for a nice sideline business. The tiger is in a cage off to the side, most likely to be sold off to the highest bidder. As I’m scouting the perimeter for cover, though, I notice the tiger. While it’s a tiny outpost, if they see me they’ll be rushing to pull the alarm and bring in a world of well-armed backup. Two sets of two guards are on each entrance, plus a single scout on a raised platform. I’ve got my camera out, so that when an enemy is spotted it gets a target over its head and I can permanently track him even through walls, and after a bit of careful recon I can tell the place is lightly staffed. As they lazily stroll back and forth, keeping a half-interested eye on the surroundings, I’m circling the base to get an idea of how many enemies I’m going to have to kill. ![]() It’s a lovely sunny day on the island, and the soldiers at the enemy outpost seem to be enjoying the nice weather. ![]()
