Review: Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon You can briefly characterize as “Neon theater of the absurdity of the eighties”. Theater whose performance Ubisoft recorded on VHS, then forcibly stuffed the cassette in Sega Mega Drive, And after all this disgrace, they sprinkled with shavings from the original Far Cry 3.
The first-April announcement of the game many considered a joke-it is still worthless to release such a large company as Ubisoft A game that absorbed all the militants of the video cassettes and increased their characteristic features in half. But as it turned out, the first -April the announcement was quite serious, and all the humor was saved for a month.
May 1, 2013 we received a ticket from Ubisoft to the future … straight in 2007!
Style Mark 4, your mother!
Welcome to the world after nuclear apocalypse! A thick darkness constantly reigns here and only neon lights and lightning rolleries are able to at least somehow illuminate it. Well, also laser rifles with your cybernetic red eye. The player will have to put on the skin of a cybersold, who does not know what physical fatigue is and does not require oxygen for his functioning – you can not breathe cyborg. But the brave soldier knows the main basis of the militants of the 80s – to save the world, put his ass to all the bad guys and give the honor of Great America.
Blood Dragon Combines everything that could be seen in the films of the 80s of the last century: a stupid pathos, a crazy main villain, revenge for a murdered friend, a bunch of hostile soldiers and secret laboratories.
And all this connects one thing – humor. The game loves to quit some sharpness and a pun in honor of the old militants, not forgetting to cram all this with references. The plot is served using 16 bit inserts in the spirit of old SEGA games, which gives an even greater nostalgic effect. As a result, this whole foundation of bright lights, excessive pathos and madness (Vaas, You talked about this game?) looks like the complete opposite of the entire seriousness of the series Far Cry. Instead, the game wants to joke and send us straight to the world of acid lights, which is inhabited by cyborgs with a hostile corporation at the head. IN Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon From Cyber Soldat, the poisonous-bright blue blood splashes, which is distillants through the veins (or by tubes) Cyber-heartless, and the whole fauna consists of … cyber-living. And, of course, there are the same dragons from the title of the game, even though they look like dinosaurs.
Undoubtedly, for the future in the person of the post -apocalyptic and neon -neovar 2007, classic fire -breathing dragons are critically outdated. Instead, cyber-dragons destroy their enemies with the help of lasers from the eyes. Favorite dish of creatures-a cyber serger, so do not forget to tear out from their enemies-come in handy. Plus, the enemy genocide is accompanied by the seats and jokes of the protagonist. For more convincing all the action, only the voice of Volodarsky and a battered VHS cassette with a carelessly written name of the film on the box-“Distant scream 3: Blood Dragon“.
Blood Dragon It is supplied as a separate addition with the complete opposite of the style of the original game, but mechanics Ubisoft left almost the same, only simplifying it in some moments. It is no longer necessary to run after animals and to tear off the skin from them, the collection of healing herbs also remains in the past – real heroes are treated with the help of an expander, and after treatment they show “fak” to their enemies. But the place in the form of a tropical island remains, although significantly reduced in size. Avanposts are also right there, and even highlighted with huge signals in the sky in the manner of a back signal. And alas, the clumsy stealth and not the smartest AI remained the same. You also do not have time to get bored according to boring side tasks – they found a place here and here.
Most of the pleasure in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon You get from seeing what is happening on the screen and how it is served to you. This whole theater of absurdity with greetings from the 80s, which persistently holds the bar of idiocy, and even quotes the classic militants of the VHS era – a terribly pleasant sight. And the soundtrack in the game – you’ll sway.
