Great Game, unfortunately missed so many Potentials.
Story:
It was So-Hollywood kind of stories. Rich boy, Vacation, Pirates, Kidnap, Murdered, Separated, Alone, Ally, Weapons, Hunting, Hero. We are a person with No Fighting & Shooting skill, in the midle of nowhere with people holding guns and ready to tear you apart.
Vaan, one of the FC3 mascot, I thought he was just too kind for a pirate. He might be sound crazy, his acting were so convincing that a pirate like him could play any human's life just like he wanted. He has so much potential to show us that Pirates are people that doesn't care about Human Right. Too bad, we were helped by his kindness that makes us survived in this game.
Audio:
The sound of the forest, Animals, Pirates's conversation, guns' shooting and many more seems right. It makes us feel that we were there, especially when you are using a Surround speaker or Headphone.
Gameplay:
Many improvements like Crafting & Hunting. I spent most of my time in Hunting Tigers, Leopard and Shark with Arrows, only those things that makes me Thrilled & learn to Value any steps that I took.
Driving were getting better & more realistic. However, it's seems dull to know that every vehicles in the island always has its key in the vehicle. Ubisoft could improved by not adding the key to some vehicles. It was just too easy to know that we could ride all of the vehicles, even fly a Gantole.
Shooting were too easy. Nerve should be added to the Game, where the player got more Nervous when he got surrounded by enemies, got bitten by an animals, exhausted for losing stamina (like in MGS series) and many more.
Stamina, we never got tired in this game. It was fun to be able running all around without stop for a breath. But things getting not real when we were exhausted. We could train our stamina in the game (reminds me of MGS2) by more running, more shooting (remember how heavy guns are) and more hunting (trains our breath & holding breath).
Treasures, it was fun to explore island, cave and forest for a Treasure. Too bad none of the treasure were supported by traps like Tomb Raider/Uncharted. FC3 Could be a Great game with it.
Overall:
FC3 was a Great Game. Better than Crysis (even Crysis 2). Improved from FC2. It could be more greater by making the character to be more Human (not super Human) that has Fear, Stamina, Hungry, Thristy and Sleepy (like Fallout). Great Job Ubisoft!!
