The original '''''Far Cry''''' was a PC game that was perhaps the first of the "next-gen" [[First Person Shooter|first-person shooter]] games exemplified by the likes of ''[[Half Life]] 2, [[Doom (series)|Doom]] 3'', and ''[[First Encounter Assault Recon|F.E.A.R]]''. It was released a few months before ''Doom 3'' and ''Half Life 2'' by the then-unknown developers Crytek, for whom it was their debut title.
The game was critically acclaimed for what was at the time truly mind-blowing graphics, wide-open open-ended levels set in lush tropical jungle islands, and advanced enemy A.I.
Line 7:
The game's popularity spawned a console version, '''''Far Cry: Instincts''''', which was made by Ubisoft instead of Crytek and had the same characters and basic plot premise, but markedly different gameplay, levels, and story. Besides simplified A.I. and graphics and more console-style gameplay, ''Far Cry: Instincts'' also gave the player character access to special mutant "feral powers" which included regenerating health, super-speed, super-jumps, and super-melee attacks. ''Far Cry Instincts: Evolution'' was the sequel to the console version, and switched from fighting mercenaries and mutants in a fictional series of tropical islands to fighting pirates and feral warriors in Indonesia. The story for ''Evolution'' has Jack being lured into a gunrunning scheme by half-native [[Femme Fatale]] Kade, which ultimately leads to him battling pirates and government soldiers while being hunted by Westerner-hating native warrior Semeru and his tribe of feral warriors, who all possess the same feral powers as Jack.
After publisher Ubisoft and developer Crytek parted ways, Crytek kept their engine and went on to create ''[[Crysis (series)|Crysis]]'', while Ubisoft retained the name rights and went on to develop '''''[[Far Cry 2]]''''', a sequel [[In Name Only]] that has the player take the role of one of a dozen mercenaries working in a war-torn African nation, playing both sides while hunting a notorious arms dealer known as the Jackal. The game lacks the mutants and sci-fi aspects of the original ''Far Cry'', instead opting for a darker, morally ambiguous story inspired by the Joseph Conrad novel ''The [[Heart of Darkness]]'' (not to mention Frederick Forsyth's ''The Day of the Jackal''). ''Far Cry 2'' features a completely [[Wide Open Sandbox]] game structure. There are no levels, and the game takes place in a 20 square mile area that the player can explore freely, traveling on foot, via vehicles, or by riding buses from station to station.
'''''Far Cry 3''''' returns back to the island setting and see you play as Jason Brody, part of a group of vacationers that had the misfortune of getting stranded on an island in the middle of a civil war. Jason's brother is killed and his girlfriend is kidnapped by Vaas, the deranged leader of a group of armed mercenaries. Now Jason must take on his entire army to get her back, though his sanity may be on the line along the way.
Line 17:
'''''Far Cry: Primal''''' takes place in Oros, a fictional place in northern part of Central Europe, 10,000 BC. Were you play as Takkar, a Wenja hunter. ''Primal'' is revolutionary out of all the Far Cry games, since it replaces guns with primitive weapons, like spears, bows, and arrows.
'''''Far Cry 5''''' takes place in the fictional Hope County, Montana, which has been taken over by a doomsday cult, known as Eden's Gate, led by the Joseph Seed. The player stepping into the shoes of an inexperience deputy (and the sheriff) were suppose to arrest him, but things didn't go as plan.
Line 80:
* [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]]: In ''Vengeance'', the Wii version of ''Evolution'', it's revealed Kade was partners with Semeru in creating the rebel army, and manipulated Jack into killing Semeru so she could take it all for herself. This makes more sense than the original ''Evolution'' plotline, where Jack and Kade just run into Semeru repeatedly by sheer bad luck.
* [[You Kill It, You Bought It]]: At the end of ''Instincts'', Jack becomes the new pack Alpha of the mutants after he kills Crowe. That lasts for about 1 minute, as the mutants help Jack kill Krieger then opt to stay behind while the island blows up. In ''Vengeance'', the Wii version of ''Evolution'', the Rebels take Jack as their new leader after he kills Semeru.
=== "Far Cry 4" shows examples of the following tropes ===
* [[Last Request]]: Ajay Ghale's mother's dying wish is for her ashes to be scattered in her home country of Kyrat.
* [[Affably Evil]]: Pagin Min and he's damn classy.
=== "Far Cry: Primal" shows examples of the following tropes ===
* Cavemen: This is everyone and Takkar, the main character.
* [[Con Lang]]: Wenja, which is based on Proto-Indo-European languages, was made for this game.
** Same with Nez Law.
* [[Prehistoric Life]]: Considering that the game takes place during the 10,000 BCE, there's wooly mammoths, saber toothed tigers, and other such species.
Line 244 ⟶ 98:
** Grace Armstrong being a sharp shooter also counts.
* [[Badass Preacher]]: Father Jerome Jeffries.
* [[Book Safe]]: In the trailer that introduces Father Jeffries, the ending shows that he has a pistol hidden in his Bible.
* [[Character Customization]]: It's the first Far Cry to do this, the player can make the deputy as any race and gender he wants.
* [[La
* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]: Fangs for Hire has some animals that you can team up and command to attack the cultists, like Cheeseburger (the Bear), Boomer (the Dog), and Peaches (the mountain lion). This borders on very useful [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|cute critters]].
