I continued through Far Cry 3 today. I got like a good 1/3 of the map filled out. It’s interesting to think that a map of that size was once considered a “big” game map, and now it’s almost kind of dwarfed.
I ended up doing this Acid trip sequence that was almost Alice in Wonderland feeling. From what i’ve heard the game takes heavy inspiration from Alice in Wonderland so that’s probably why.
The same mission has you going up to this house up on a hill to see if one of your friends are there. The whole house had a series of pretty views and was gorgeous to look at. Here are some more examples:
Finally, I also got this bow (free landscape included as a bonus), and i have to say that it’s probably one of the most OP weapons i’ve used. As long as i can hit my shots enemies go down instantly and with little to no sound. I can use it too take out snipers and clear the way for me to take over and outpost, all without alerting any one else.
I immediately recognized that scene, it’s the mushroom trip! I loved all the trippy scenes in this game. Far Cry 3 OST was the first game soundtrack I put on my phone to listen to outside of the game, too (leaving the PlayStation on to blast Crash Bandicoot 2 Sewer or Later level music on the TV on max volume doesn’t count lol).
Back then the Ubisoft formula was still fresh and games made with it were actually a ton of fun.

FC3 and Blood Dragon got me back into fps games after a break from Fallout 3. Still two of my favorite games ever.
I immediately recognized that scene, it’s the mushroom trip! I loved all the trippy scenes in this game. Far Cry 3 OST was the first game soundtrack I put on my phone to listen to outside of the game, too (leaving the PlayStation on to blast Crash Bandicoot 2 Sewer or Later level music on the TV on max volume doesn’t count lol).

The OST is amazing. I did this mission where you use the Flamethrower to burn some drug fields and the song they used for it is catchy as fuck
The bow was my entire reason to play this game
I put a marksman’s scope on it today and it’s like one of the best weapons in my arsenal. It’s so satisfying to use
