History YMMV / FarCry

* HomegrownHero: A staple of the series, as every single modern-day protagonist is an American citizen abroad, regardless of where the game takes place. {{Averted}} in 2016 ''Far Cry: Primal''. Unless, of course, the American state already existed in prehistoric times.

** The tourists looking for whales, as they are an another case of annoying comic relief.

* TheScrappy: The tourist lady.
-->WHAT ABOUT THE WHALES, GEORGE?

* PortingDisaster: ''Vengeance'' is widely agreed to be one of these. Even the {{future|Loser}} [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd Angry Video Game Nerd]] does a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7XIbwtMl4Y review]] on the game in the Present Nerd's NightmareSequence in YetAnotherChristmasCarol. Ironically for a Wii port, the motion controls are actually regarded to be very good by most players, but everything else sems to have come up short.

* TheyJustDidntCare: Apparently Uwe's commentary on the DVD pretty much proves he's probably never seen the game, definitely hasn't played it and knows little to nothing about it. In fact in the same commentary he gets more worked up about a ''cheeseburger'' arriving.
* VideoGameMoviesSuck: Especially when combined with Uwe Boll.

!!''Far Cry''

!!''Far Cry 2''
* AccidentalInnuendo: "I'll need to hold your equipment, bro."
* DemonicSpiders: Mortar operators in Act 2. Also, the soldiers. They soak up ammo, do a huge amount of damage, and have the tendency to try and run you down with their cars, an instant OneHitKill.
* GoddamnedBats:
** The enemy jeeps spawned at checkpoints are relentless and fighting them quickly gets tedious.
** Hell, the checkpoints themselves.
* GoodBadBugs:
** It's rather amusing watching a bison walk head-first into an open car door and spontaneously drop dead.
** If you crouch into a shallow part of a lake and slowly lose health, using the HealThyself button produces amusing results, such as your character setting a broken arm in three places to '''pulling rebar out of his torso'''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enb0zWbYUik Observe!]]
* OlderThanTheyThink: The "revolutionary" WideOpenSandbox gameworld of ''Far Cry 2'' was actually done a couple years earlier in ''Boiling Point: Road to Hell'', a revolutionary game done in by a buggy pre-patch release and its non-big-name publisher/developer and their lack of publicity. There's also ''{{STALKER}}: Shadow of Chernobyl''.
* PortingDisaster: The PC version started out locked to the same "fake" widescreen mode as the console versions (ie, cutting the top and bottom off a 4:3 image to make a 16:10 image instead of extending the field of view left and right). This was eventually patched due to complaints that players with multiple monitors were dealing with a field of view so vertically compressed they couldn't see anything.
* ScrappyMechanic: The Malaria mechanic forces the player to occasionally undertake a FetchQuest to get pills. Also, the respawning checkpoints.
* TearJerker: ''"You are terminal... same as I am"''. Also, the ending, though it might also count as SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}.

!!''Far Cry 3''
* CrazyAwesome: Vaas. Did he ever tell you the definition of insanity?
* CompleteMonster: Vaas might be CrazyAwesome and the next iconic character for Ubisoft, but you cannot deny that he is this. From terrorizing the native population to kidnapping and killing hostages to keeping Jason alive just so he can go insane, this guy takes AxCrazy to a whole new level.
** Hoyt Volker is also proving to be one as well: his spotlight trailer has him forcing a bunch of hapless civilians to run across a minefield to set an example and punishes people by burning them alive in a hotbox. Not to mention he runs "the biggest slave trading ring in the South Pacific".


!!''Film/FarCry'' (Film)

* DemonicSpiders: Mortar operators in Act 2.
* {{Fanon}}: Probably the most common attempt to tie the two games together is to claim The Jackal is actually Jack Carver. It doesn't really work out since The Jackal is able to say words without adding "daaaaaar" to the front of them.

* CreatorsPet: It does seem that {{Ubisoft}} wants Vaas to join the ranks of {{Rayman}}, [[SplinterCell Sam Fisher]] and [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Ezio Auditore.]] He even takes over the cover of the game!

* NightmareFuel: What the pirates do to the hostages. ''Sweet Jesus.''
** Also, Vaas' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech as he sets the room you are in on fire during the E3 2012 demo.
** And lest we forget, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4reM6WEhQl4 the Ransom ad]] [[spoiler: which features Vaas trying to manipulate Liza for his ransom video.]]
** Here's some Paranoia Fuel: During Vaas' [[HannibalLecture "Definition Of Insanity" speech]], he mentions seeing "the same fucking pricks" doing things over and over again. This implies that he's talking about the {{Non Player Character}}s, [[OhCrap and thus partially realizes that he's in a video game]].
