Far cry 3 blood dragon parents guide full#
Perhaps the full game picks up later but the whole enterprise comes across very much like Assassin’s Creed III’s The Tyranny Of King Washington, in that it’s a great idea but the final product just doesn’t have the scope or budget to distance itself from its parent game or offer anything genuinely new. And that’d the problem with the game as a whole, it’s neither as fun or as funny as it thinks it is and to be honest we were a bit bored after just half an hour.
That’s the option we went for but even then we were a bit disappointed with the laser beam effect, which didn’t look nearly as cool as we expected.

Here you’re given an impressive number of different ways to shut it down, from simply killing everyone to turning off the generator and letting a dragon in. Robbed of your weapons you rip out all the hearts you come across, from the bodies scattered across the landscape, and use them to lure the dragons away from you – or towards the garrison which is the second level’s focus. They look more like oversized Komodo dragons than the Skyrim kind of lizard, but they do have laser beam eyes and a taste for cyber commando hearts. This is where the blood dragons come into it. In any case the level ends with you being captured and secretly saved by a female scientist who is very obviously going to become your love interest. You’re meant to be escorting a foul-mouthed computer expert but we’re still not sure whether the bit at the end is purposefully a nod to GoldenEye 007 or just a generic set piece. The only vehicles we saw were a jeep with a gun mount but this can be commandeered and used just as is in the main game.īut working through the first level, which is mostly set in a supervillain lair, we were quickly worried at how ineffectively the game kept our attention. The minute-to-minute gameplay is essentially Far Cry 3 with a different hat on, with the four weapons we saw just being neon-painted versions of existing ones (a pistol, general purpose rifle, shotgun, and a bow and arrow). And that’s even if you count the idea of mocking tutorial as new or funny. Once you get on the ground there’s a long string of tutorial messages that start of as genuinely funny but, like the intro and subsequent other cut scenes, just go on for far too long. The problem here is essentially the same one we had with Retro City Rampage: referencing something you know your audience is likely to recognise does not count as a joke, and it’s also not an effective way of distracting you from otherwise mediocre gameplay. Except that it has Little Richard’s Long Tall Sally playing in the background, which of course is the same tune that was playing in the helicopter at the beginning of Predator. The helicopter minigun scene is one of the laziest clichés in gaming today and there’s absolutely nothing interesting or imaginative about this one. Good timing for this week’s Hot Topic, but an extremely dangerous road to tread. Ubisoft aren’t actually classifying this as a parody, but instead the developers have stated they’re intentionally trying to make a game that’s ‘so bad it’s good’.
