Far Cry 3 is an open world first-person shooter video game developed mainly by Ubisoft Montreal in conjunction with Ubisoft Massive, Ubisoft Red Storm, Ubisoft Shanghai and Ubisoft Reflections and published by Ubisoft for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
The game was originally set for release on September 4, 2012 in North
America and September 6 in Europe; however, it was subsequently delayed
until November 29, 2012 for Australia, November 30 for Europe, and
December 4 for North America due to the developers tweaking the final
release version of the game. A stand-alone expansion titled Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon was released on April 30, 2013.
Far Cry 3 is set on a tropical island somewhere in the vicinity of the Malay Archipelago, between the Indian and Pacific Oceans.After a vacation goes awry, protagonist Jason Brody must save his friends, who have been kidnapped by pirates and escape from the island and its unhinged inhabitants.
Equipment is controlled by a simple system. As missions are completed,
new items are unlocked to be purchased or crafted by Jason, using the
pelts of various animals around the island. As radio towers are
unlocked, this opens areas of the map and unlocks weapons in the shop
for free. As outposts of Vaas' pirate group are attacked and retaken,
the vicinity around the outpost becomes safer, it also unlocks new side
quests for that area.
