Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon

"I won't go to bed until everybody's dead!"

Apart from the premise, I really had no idea what to expect from this stand alone expansion pack of Far Cry 3. What I found was a TRUE GEM.

This had nothing to do with Far Cry 3's story. It only takes place in a similar island, but in a futuristic world heavily influenced by the 70s and 80s sci-fi films, especially B-movies. In fact, this whole thing plays out like an epic exaggerated homage to them. Cheesy and corny dialogues, hilarious one liners, cliché ridden and ridiculous story, manly/gruff voice tough guy hero, everything you could possibly think of is here. And Its execution was perfect. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! Even the loading screen texts and tutorial was hilariously awesome.

Cutscenes were meticulously crafted to resemble the older times animation. The humor was SO WELL DONE in a cheesy and simple way that I was like "Genius!".

The game had this filter on it, that gave that old sci-fi movies feel. The lighting, colors everything were made to match those era in an exaggerated way. And the soundtrack, oh by, it was so awesome. Perfect for what they were going for.

Game plays out exactly like Far Cry 3, but with futuristic weapons and tools and stuff.

Geniuses at Ubisoft really showed what they can do with this work of art. Everyone should experience it. It is like only 4-5 hours long.

9.5/10

'Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon (2013)' is an 'expandalone' ode to 80s action cinema, a neon-soaked tongue-in-cheek satire that takes the mechanics of 'Far Cry 3 (2012)' and transfuses them into an entirely unique setting. The story is purposefully cheesy, an amalgam of tropes and characters from pop-culture. It's self-aware and satisfying. Michael Biehn apparently didn't have a great time recording his voice-work for the title, but he fits the dry protagonist like a glove. The rest of the cast know exactly what they've signed up for, too. The title is fairly short but it remains fun throughout. It's a distinct spin on the formula and it stands out because of it. 8/10

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is an cool game The main character is funny I like the mechanics The story is weird and confusing I don't understand it Replaying this game is not that good I noticed I beat it three times not the best Far Cry Game.

Grab successful things from 1 game and put them in a 80's homage to action heroes. You play as Sergeant Rex power Colt who is a cyborg commando that fights trough the ashes of a Apocalypse that had a apocalypse in Vietnam war 2.

This is a stand alone game with the engine of Far Cry 3 and it feels like that...but with more lasers and neon (And dragon's) I don't know how ubisoft came up with this because the game is really really bad..bad characters,bad one liners a bad ass cyborg and i love it!!!

They wanted to Honor the 80's with its spectacular music,over the top action and lasers and make it wrong on many levels.. and they pulled it off.

I really hope they continue this game and make a full game of it since this one is around 2/3 hours of game play if you play the story mission.

To ubisoft - make this a new franchise without using the far Cry name .. it will work without it.

First off for 3D worthiness. 3D works almost perfectly. With convergence turned up very high and depth at 100% the game looks quite good although it lacks slightly in that it is a little comic book like in its appearance. If you play with the video settings you can get the 3D to look amazing. So yes quite playable in 3D but for some reason weapons will not 'poke' out of the screen, they appear to be flat but maybe that is fixable.. As for the game setup, this was a bit of a nightmare, you cannot play without installing Uplay which is a game content delivery system like Steam and then you have annoying updates to get past. The other annoyance is the fact that you cannot manually save a game. You progress is saved after the end of the first mission which is a lot of work just to get to the first save. The game play progresses quite nicely without any boring repetitive work and some missions give you alternatives to aid your progress. This game is a bit different than others in the Far Cry franchise but well worth looking at. Just be ready for the annoying setup at the start.
