Far Cry 3: Mindless Self Indulgence 

I always knew Mindless Self Indulgence was a very experimental band; but this new 10 minute track sounds really strange; even for them.

I literally just finished playing far cry 3 a few days ago after buying it recently. It was an absolute blast. While I didn't like the "boss fights" or some of the radio tower climbing sections, it was amazing. That drug field mission man...So amazing.

If you watch funhaus, Adam has said many times that he regrets it, and didn't mean to say it like that.

I agree with everything here but your comments on Pagan Min. He was a fantastic villain because he was an anchor to the one thing that gave Ajay the only personality he ever had; his mother. Pagan loved Ajay's mom, and truly wanted to help Ajay despite the actions of Ajay's father, but Ajay never listened. It's only when you don't kill him in the end that you find out just how much he cared about his love and by extension, you. He was broken and driven mad by the death of his daughter, and you are right that Ajay is flat and boring and if he was actually well written the game could've been 1000x better, but don't count Pagan Min out. He's no Vaas, but he's certainly better than Hoyt

I really enjoyed far cry 3. One of my favourite games of all time

Nothing pisses me off more then when people dismiss this game just because “the protagonists and his friends are douchebags” or because its looks shallow. There are so many thematic layers to this game, and I love the plot and gameplay.

Far Cry 3 is basically Leo Dicaprio's character in the island he basically becomes so deluded he believes he is in a videogame

Far Cry 3 is a timeless masterpiece. On its surface it’s another rescue FPS. But once you start playing, you start going down the same rabbit hole Jason falls into. In the time I’ve played it, I’ve noticed there other important themes: Insanity, addiction, and manipulation. As it was portrayed in Alice in Wonderland, everything was mad, or irrational, even Alice. Both Jason and Alice deny those however and both begin to indulge in the fact they’re the only ones who are in control of their environment. Jason does this by capturing outposts, killing pirates, and taking drugs. Which leads to the theme of addiction. Far Cry 3 is self aware. Buck even says, “I’m not playing the bloody game, you are. I’m just a spectator.” Under the influence of drugs, killing, and rituals, he seemingly becomes stronger, and thus becomes addicted to his role as savior of the islands. Of course, he was also easy for Citra and the Rakyat to manipulate. Dennis tells Jason he is special because he was given the Tatau. Citra lures Jason into the promise of power and glory for exacting his revenge of Vaas, and killing Hoyt in the name of the Rakyat. By the end of it all, Jason has become the perfect killing machine, just as Citra and the Rakyat intended. Thus you are left with a choice; save your friends leave the island, and return to society, or stay with Citra and let the insanity of the islands consume you entirely. Vaas said to Jason that insanity was doing the exact same thing over and over expecting things to be different. This is exactly what Jason was doing when he decided to continue his killing spree. But by the end of it all, things were barely any different. These make Far Cry 3 in my opinion one of the greatest video games of all time.

This was in my recommended. RU-vid actually dod a good job for once. Well done fella, this is a really good review, keep it up

5 Seconds into the video he said "Generic white male". I just want to go to the beach.

How you feel about fallout being Skyrim with guns

I just want far cry 2 with far cry 5's polish. Far cry 2 was the last simulatory entry in the series, where it felt more like a survival fps. But I like the speed and flow the newer games, which 3 originally brought to the table, along with things like crafting and the like. Let us go back to Africa and get infected with Malaria again ubisoft.

Awww man, I actually came for Mindless Self Indulgence :/

I thought this was about Mindless Self Indulgence. I'm disappointed

Far cry 3 stood out to me because of Vaas and the soundtracks. It would of been an average experience without them two things.

"Looks like I'm the only one who can do this masterpiece any justice, then" *proceeds to reiterate what every fan already knows about the game*

I loved the story and characters of Farcry 3. The evolution of Jason's character was perfectly done with his initial terror and distaste of having to do what he's doing to survive and his gradual change to embrace and enjoy it. I remember the exact moment I knew Jason had crossed some sort of moral event horizon on my first playthrough because his decent was perfectly scripted and acted as he became less hesitant with taking on missions and to the Weed fields where he finally screams out how much he's enjoying this and he's running through fields with a flamethrower, torching them and killing people in a giant firefight. It felt perfect as he's yelling how awesome it was as I was also enjoying that mission with the music pumping for 'Make it burn dem'. So Jason's start of darkness was also mine. I wasn't chasing after the plot anymore as I was at the start, that was just something to focus on as I did other things. I was tooled up and advanced enough with perks to make the outposts interesting to try and clear via stealth with just knives or gun heavy's down. Hunt animals because I needed more leathers to advance my hunting of outposts and people... I honestly felt like Jason progressed as a character up until the end when I was offered the choice and your choice dictates whether Jason had crossed a line in his evolution he couldn't ever go back from It was a perfect end. Farcry 3 was one of the best game's I've played.

I thought this was a song by mindless self indulgence

I remember reading an interview with the dev about how the whole game was a satirical take on the Heart Of Darkness idea of "white man gone Savage". Really an awesome game and it makes me sad how shit Farcry 5 was by comparison.

I really enjoyed Farcry 4, it made me look into becoming a Buddhist.

This game actually changed me, so damn good

I'd have an easier time accepting that Jason is slowly turning into a killer if he wasn't automatically a skilled pro at using weapons.

How I stop worrying and love my mindless self indulgence game.

Everybody i know and respect always hyping up on Far Cry 2 as the best entry in the series which make me really confused. I get it appeal but i think Far Cry 3 is the game make the series came on to it own. Far Cry 2 had alot of cool mechanic but the game is so repetitive company with almost none existence plot and character make the game extra tedious. If you want some thing more hardcore but with better context just play Stalker.

you're not the only one though? there's been a few channels that have tackled in fact, Ryan Hollinger did a 21 minute video on the symmetry between Vaas and Jason

Honestly my favorite game easily. Jason's character development is fucking great

I appreciate the degree of dissection you approach these games with, DimeTree. Far Cry 3 was certainly a title deserving of more in depth reverence and reflection that my peers only seemed to criticize me for. That game was my life for the better part of six months frankly for the raw emotional impact I only realized it had on me upon reminiscing in it's absence...

You....you are saying everything that I could never put into words at the time when it came out. Thank you.

Is that a motherfucking Endless Jess reference?

Y'know, I'm not exactly disappointed, but I clicked this video to see if Far Cry had tracks from my favorite pink haired punk rocker.

According to developers far cry 4 protaginist was meant to be a blank state cuz they felt as though our reactions and decisions should be the personality instead of one a player might not agree with...personally the game that pulled that concept off the best is Legend of Zelda, GTA 3 and Pokemon.

I want-no, NEED a Farcry 3 quality story with Farcry 5's gameplay. That would be my ideal FPS...probably.

Just ink me up, boss

UGH DUDE WTFF!1!!1!1 FAR CRY TREE IS NOT MINDLESS!1 ITSSS A GREAT GAME UGH!!11!1

This game is a masterpiece. Great fucking video.

honestly. if any of us were in this dudes situation. stuck on an island that's frozen in time of barbaric. killing lost morale and psyche. hunted by evil people would we also lose ourselves? love this game

wait adam was the first one who called it "like skyrim with guns"?

I played this game for ages and is probably one of my favourites of all time.

This guys voice gave me all the inspiration i need to lift weights

This was the most interesting and clarifying video I've ever seen about Far Cry 3. This game made my entire childhood and that's also why I keep playing it.

I actually thought this was going to be a FC3 montage with MSI music but ended up remembering why i like this game a lot lol.

You will probably never see this comment , but if you do ..... I freaking love you man .FC3 is by far one of the best fps ever made and a lot of ppl misunderstood the story which i thought was so profound sometimes with real dark themes , such as rape , male identity , racism or all sort of tropes . I bought the game on ps4 , and still looks pretty nice , even if i would have loved a 60 fps and some refinements , i think this game was incredible . I'm just happy to see someone actually taking about this game in 2018 + 1 sub . Btw this game is a lot deeper than we even think , with alice quotes , buck missions , strange stuff happening during the hallucinaions ( like at 8.29 ) , vaas unreliable death ( unreliable narrator = jason ) , weird game design choices , weird dialogues etc .....

I was waiting for an MSI song :(

Idk if this is totally relevant, but I just realized this: Manhunt has a similar "gradually becoming a monster" theme, but it's based around the player's experience. Sure, you start out being pretty grossed out by the executions, but after a while it gets fun, and you start to actively have fun experimenting with all the weapons and their various animations.

The mission where the agent gives you a flamethrower and you have to incinerate an army of pirates before destroying a fleeing ship is in my top favorites of video games.

*Too Bad...* We will never get to experience this type of story.

I love the inclusion of hip-hop samples in your editing. The Real Friends tie-in here especially, because of the relevance to your talking points. Subscribed my guy

dope video bro, really enjoyed it and felt it really accurate because I felt the same when i played FC3 and then played the 4th one

I LIKE MY COFFEE BLACK, JUST LIKE MY METAL I. CAN'T. WAIT. FOR. YOU. TO. SHUT. ME. UP.

You say jingoistic like a virgin.

Whenever I watch one of your Videos, I suddenly remember how good the fight club ost was. And its astonishing how well it fits in your Videos.

Oh yeah. I don't like how Jason does not kill Hoyt in his office. He could easily just shoot Hoyt and kill off Hoyt's whole army. But no. Can't do that, cuz plot. At least the MGS series gives reasons why the protagonist can't just up and kill the antagonist.

I appreciate that you watch the Footwearman too

Love the video also I'm watching this at 4:40am 💀

*Far cry is a work of Art*

I actually had a lot of fun with Far Cry 4, but I have to agree that in terms of themes and storytelling it missed its mark. Despite the fact the main character's background was his impetus in starting his journey, the game didn't really do much to develop him as a character. We get a very brief backstory of how Ajay was taken to the US by his mother, where he eventually served in the Army (which by the way, just seems like a convenient way of explaining how he's a complete natural in firefights). He comes (back) to Kyrat at his mother's request, and presumably seeking answers about his roots. But it just kind of stops there, and even at the end of the game, there's isn't really a satisfying conclusion to his character arc, at least none that I can remember. Pagan Min was honestly more of a main character than Ajay.

love the video and it makes me happy to see that i’m not the only one who still loves and appreciates fc3 even after all these years. the most recent far cry was pretty good but nothing will ever top Vaas and the themes of insanity in fc3.

Why do you have to hate on Adam Kovic dude

I fully expected a let's play with Jimmy Urine.

Wow never heard of you before. I'm going to correct this mistake by watching all your content, because I like your analytic point of view and the way you approach themes

Just found your channel and dawg your videos are fucking top quality. You deserve way more recognition. Keep hustling and get that paper

The outro just made the video 100x better Fuck the nostalgia is kicking in

If Far Cry 3 is Skyrim with guns, then Far Cry Primal is Skyrim without magic, quests and dragons.

excellent video. was just musing on some stuff related to this the other day. fc3 had some flaws but the themes explored in it lent your actions a weight and a depth that's just not there in fc4 and 5 that made it truly compelling. the gameplay isn't even much different from fc3 in its two successors, and as a result i'd typically rather go replay 3 with ziggymod or something instead of bother with the other two.

i fuckin love this Game so much

Holy shit, you've just said everything I've been thinking about Far Cry 3 for the last six years.

Heeeey.. That's not Jimmy Urine.

Yeah I loved FC3 but bounced off FC4 hard.

Love your videos, thanks for making them.

take a shot everytime he says FarCry 3 if you wanna fucking die XD

I nearly clicked away after the first 10 seconds. And when you show anime.

I fucking adore this game, and you absolutely did it justice. Well done, mate! :)

The production quality of this video is 👌 how do u only have 24k subs

I actually came for MSI 😂

i liked far cry 5 for its religious themes

I came for MSI but I liked the video

Its a polished piece of shit. Just like other Ubisoft games.

Ahh Far Cry 3, second game I ever played on my PC... Brings me really fond memories, and I literally must complete it at least once a year

The story of Far Cry 3 was one of crossroads and change, not only for Jason Brody, not only for Ubisoft, but for gaming as a whole. It marked the transition from the almost-comical low-res shooters of the 2000s to the ultra-realistic "gritty and dreary" FPS games of today. In between this evolution stands Far Cry 3, on the frontier of a new age, torn between two worlds like Jason Brody in the throes of moral ambiguity. And it is this conflict, this turmoil in a new era when the trajectory of triple-A games like the Far Cry series was not yet decided, that allowed the creativity and ingenuity of its developers to flourish in this masterpiece that treads the line between story and gameplay unlike any other Far Cry since.

How to play Farcry 4: When the "villain" tells you to wait, just wait for him. Upon his return, you complete the game. You did it! Now refund it. The villain is the lesser evil in the story, the rebels are just destroying the nation. One of the leaders wants to turn the entire nation into a drug farm.

I love all the far cry games equally, they're all so amazing and fun and such a blast to play

i played Far Cry 3 blind on Master difficulty with no ui indicators or aim assist off that kush Jack Carver style 👹

Dont be hatin on adAm

Whaddup no idea what your content revolves around of but wanted to appreciate you giving MSI clout

THAT FUCKING REAL FRIENDS TRANSITION

I have already finished this game for 3 times and i can't stop playing it.

Indonesia is a hell of a place, which is another reason why Far Cry 3 was so great... ...but Africa is another story, a better one, if you know what I mean

So if Jason stays on the Island, that's basically like a manchild staying in fantasy land. If he returns home, then he will need a shit load of therapy. He definitely won't adjust to normal life. He admits to *liking* murder. It's best for him to die. Citra is a bit of a bitch, but her killing Jason is like putting a dog out of its misery. If Jason sacrifices his friends, he would probably do the same to his child.

For Far Cry 6 they should go back to the survival style gameplay of 2 as opposed to the Rambo shit we have. It would shake the game up too

man. . . farcry 3 was one of the best parts of my childhood

Two videos within a month? Fantastic!

AH the crass humor, so good

A lot of people in this comment section probably have no idea what "Far Cry Instincts" is or was, as it was an OG Xbox game that was supposed to be a port of "Far Cry" but ended up being its own entity due to limitations of the system itself. Far Cry 3 is actually very reminiscent of both of these games. Honestly, I could likely make a youtube video explaining some of the parallels.

Finally, a good video about this awesome game

that shark punch was on purpose i know it

*That is some really heavy shit* ...really it is 😏

This is one of my favourite games of all time... what a fucking masterpiece

I think Far Cry 3's take on skills is the best out of any game. In-game Skills allow you to do cool shit that require real life skill to pull off (especially the gunslinger takedowns, that shit is hard af)

I played far cry 4 before 3 and fucking loved it

I don't know anyone who hated this gamr
