Far Cry 3 Review (🌸Kaori🌸)
MY PERSONAL STORY WITH FARCRY 3:
I first played this game when I was about 16. I used to work at our family's tiny convenience store. I had a PC with a Pentium processor, 4 GB of ram, and gt 730 2 GB DDR3. This was my first own PC that I built with my own money, I did not have a lot of money back then.
So anyways I had nothing to do and my parents forced me to work then, not that I was against it. I was okay with it because it was summer, and I would be even more bored alone at home watching anime. So, one day I went to buy a new game at our local pirate SD store that had everything, Movies, Games, Music, and Anime. I remember from the internet and some people that this game was good and that it had a very good crazy villain, I remember exactly what I said to the store guy "I want a game with a crazy villain" the store guy found this game for me and I bought it.
This game was perfect for me because I could pause it at any time and help the customers when they entered our store. I paused this game more than 1000 times because whenever I played, a customer would enter, and I would pause. Then they would leave, then another would enter. So I would play for about 5 minutes until the next customer) Of course, there were 1 hour non-stop plays because nobody would enter sometimes.
But this never ruined my experience. It would end up just extending my enjoyment of the game. So there it was a game that had everything I wanted, exploration, fucking amazing story, replayability, and life lessons. This was it, I found the game I would play for 4 months. I found my masterpiece, FARCRY 3.
This game changed my whole life. This is not an oversaturation, I will explain shortly. First of all, This helped me to move away from the suicidal thoughts I had back then which were very frequent. I was distracted from my problems and I was excited about something in my life again, even if my excitement was just a game. FARCRY gave me a reason to wake up every morning with the only goal to go to work so I can play this game. I consider it a great help to my life.
Secondly, some lessons from the game were very helpful to me at that time, especially Dennises words:
"We spend our whole lives holding back. Imagine you can succeed if you just take what you want"
This fucking blew my mind, It cut me soo deep that holy shit it was something so deeply personal to me. This, later on, would help me to start learning the English language. Yes, I played FARCRY 3 in Russian first time. But it does change anything. Anyways, those powerful words were an inspiration for me to finally act on the problems and causes of stress in my life at the time. I finally did something I was thinking of doing a long time ago but was afraid of doing. I do that to this day. But I will not tell what exactly, this is the thing only I must know.
So yes this game is something I will never forget, It's a good memory and good inspiration, and because of that, I bought it on steam once I could afford it. Thank you to all the wonderful people who worked to create this masterpiece.
Regardless of how many hours it shows I played on steam. My actual hours are much greater. You can just add +800 hours to the current one and it would be more or less correct.
This is it for me. I wrote it mostly for myself so one day my future self might revisit this game and this review)
Hello my future self, How are you?)
