History VideoGame / FarCry3BloodDragon

* LargeHam: ''Everyone.''

''Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon'' is a stand-alone expansion of ''VideoGame/FarCry3'', developed by Ubisoft Montreal. It is set for release on April 30th on PSN and May 1st on Xbox Live Arcade and PC. The whole game is a [[AffectionateParody love letter]] to the 80s action movie, as it takes place on a bizarre, neon colored island crawling with evil robot soldiers, robot animals, all of which trying to kill the player.

You are [[AwesomeMcCoolname Sergeant Rex Power Colt,]] voiced by Michael Biehn (who starred in movies like ''{{Terminator}}'' and ''{{Aliens}}''), whose mission is to destroy a rogue robot army led by your former mentor Sloan. Armed with a wide array of weapons and accompanied by fellow soldier [[BlackBestFriend Spider,]] and a HotScientist, you're gonna have to get the girl, [[KillEmAll kill the baddies]] and [[SavingTheWorld save the world.]]

** "Knife got your tongue?"

* BrokenBase: Ooooh yes. A lot of people who weren't into FarCry3 are planning on getting this for the [[LargeHam cheesy]], [[RatedMForManly testosterone-fueled]], [[TheEighties 80's nostalgia-fest]], and many people who played Far Cry 3 are returning for the same reason. However, many others are vocally complaining that it's "[[TheyChangedItNowItSucks extremely stupid]]" and want a proper-DLC for the story (nevermind that this is a STANDALONE TITLE), and have even taken to creating a ''formal petition''.

* {{Cyberpunk}}: ''Blood Dragon'' borrows heavily from movies in this genre, with gritty military commandos fighting BananaRepublic dictators despite robotic and AI technology existing that can bring people back from the brink of death.

* {{Cyberpunk}}: ''Blood Dragon'' is portrayed as a movie from this genre.

** During cutscenes, there is sometimes a close-up of Spider looking stressed out while hacking. He looks a lot like VideoGame/{{Shinobi}}

* AffectionateParody: Of 1980's sci-fi action movies. The expansion pack's cast even includes Michael Biehn (of ''{{Film/Aliens}}'' and ''TheTerminator'' fame)!

* AnimalsHateHim: Similar to ''FarCry3'', but now almost all of those animals are cyborgs or robots.

* LighterAndSofter: Given that it is a parody of 80's sci-fi, this expansion pack seems to be ''a lot'' more lighthearted than the main game. Also, most of the enemies are rogue AI machines rather than actual human [=NPCs=].

** Sloan's reaction to Spider and Rex being sent after him? "Now that right there, is [[VideoGame/FarCry3 the definition of insanity.]]"

* {{Retraux}}: The game is crafted to look and feel like an 80's scifi action film. Even the [[http://fc3blooddragon.us.ubi.com/index.php website]] looks like an old 90's website with very 80's merch.
* RPGElements: Instead of FarCry3's skill tree, Blood Dragon has set skills automatically unlock as you level up.
* ShoutOut: Oh, so many of these toward 80's movies and their tropes!

** The main character being an ex-SEAL traveling to an out-of-control remote location is a call-back to the first FarCry.

** Scientists in combat sometimes yell [[Film/GoldenEye I'm Invincible!]]
** One of the quests involves killing [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles 4 turtles in a sewer]].

* TheVietnamWar: Sergeant Rex is a veteran of the Vietnam War ''Two''

-->'''TheNarrator:''' ...The apocalypse has had an apocalypse.

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: Unlike the main game, this game takes place in a cyberpunk version of the distant future year of 2007. Also, the retro-futuristic weapons and robotic enemies are all brand new, though the execution animations and overall gameplay remain the same.
* AnimalsHateHim: Similar to FarCry3, but now almost all of those animals are cyborgs or robots.

* HollywoodHacking: Spider and his TechnoBabble.

* TronLines: Used to make weapons, NPCs and explosive barrels more visible against the background.

** The morally grey ex-Navy SEAL Rex infiltrating a warzone filled with non-human enemies under a madman's control mirrors the setup of the original ''VideoGame/FarCry''.

* MythologyGag: Sloan's reaction to Spider and Rex being sent after him? "Now that right there, is [[ArcWords the definition of insanity.]]"
** [[FarCry Where else have we heard about a morally grey ex-Navy SEAL infiltrating a warzone filled to the brim with non-human enemies under a madman's control?]]

* AlienBlood: Everything bleeds blue

* AnimalsHateHim: Similar to FarCry3, but now almost all of those animals are cyborgs or robots
* BlackBestFriend: Spider

* {{Retraux}}: The game is crafted to look and feel like an 80's scifi action film.
