Line #4 YMMV/FarCry1


1	* AntiClimaxBoss: In the PC version, the final opponent is [[spoiler: Doyle]], a weak scientist armed with a P90 and hiding in a control room. He goes down in one shot. Then again, at the ''beginning'' of the final level, you fight BigBad ClimaxBoss [[spoiler: Mutated Krieger]], who puts up a much bigger fight.
2	** ...And he's not much of a threat either, if you fight him by getting in close like you fought all the other giant trigens.
3	** Alternatively, you can just [[GroinAttack shoot him in the crotch]], as he takes massive damage if hit there (who doesn't?) and goes down after only a handful of bullets.
4	* CompleteMonster: See [[Monster/FarCry here]].
5	* DemonicSpiders:
6	** The monkey Trigens. Since the shotgun has little to no stopping power against them, if they start their leaping attack and aren't dead by the time they reach you, you can wave goodbye to half your health.
7	** In ''Instincts'', there are Kamikaze Trigens, who run at you screaming at the top of their lungs and blow up in your face, killing you.
8	* FirstInstallmentWins: While ''Instincts'' and ''Evolution'' were very well-received, they aren't quite as acclaimed and remembered as the PC original.
9	* FridgeHorror: Dialogue strongly suggests the human trigens are genocide victims.
10	* HilariousInHindsight: At one point in ''Instincts'', Jack snarks that he doubts Krieger is curing [[VideoGame/FarCry2 malaria]].
11	* ItWasHisSled: When the game first came out the Trigen were a surprise secondary enemy faction similar to The Flood in Halo but nowadays very few people bother to hide this fact when talking about the game. Even this very wiki leaves tropes referring to their existence on the main page completely unspoiler-tagged.
12	* {{Narm}}:
13	** The voice acting in the PC original is infamously campy, especially Jack's. Daaaaar, Doy-ul?
14	** The policeman in the opening cutscene of ''Vengeance'' calling Jack a "bastard guy".
15	* NightmareFuel: Imagine this, you're stranded on an [[ClosedCircle isolated island chain out in the middle of nowhere]] with no contact or any form of lifeline to the outside world. 99.9% of the people on this island want to kill you horribly and you're completely alone save for one guy on the radio who can't exactly help you out in a fight. You struggle to survive against overwhelming odds and manage to keep yourself in once piece against everything the mercs throw at you up to and including attack helicopters. Then, roughly a few hours after your ordeal began you find out that this particular island chain is home to a mad scientist who is making mutants with [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily gaping maws filled with razor sharp teeth]] [[DemonicSpiders who can tear you to shreds in seconds.]] You think things can't get any worse and then the [[ParanoiaFuel invisible]] and [[EliteMook giant mutants]] start showing up...
16	* OnceOriginalNowCommon: While not the first shooter of its type, ''Far Cry'' was highly acclaimed for its cutting-edge graphics, open-ended level design and highly intelligent AI. Now that those features are commonplace in the genre and the graphics are showing their age, it can be hard for newcomers to understand just how groundbreaking the game was at release.
17	* PortingDisaster:
18	** ''Vengeance'' is widely agreed to be one of these. Even the {{future\|Loser}} [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd Angry Video Game Nerd]] does a [[https://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 seems to have come up short.
19	** The Xbox 360 compilation port of ''Instincts'' and ''Evolution'', ''Predator'', has perhaps the ''absolute worst'' look controls of any 7th generation console FPS game, with massive deadzone and acceleration that makes aiming almost impossible. Tellingly, the game comes with two different types of aim assist (homing bullets and homing crosshair), and the game is almost unplayable if you try turning these off. Turning the sensitivity down very low also helps, but is still not perfect.
20	** ''Far Cry Classic'' has a tendency to load mid-mission and sometimes crashes during gameplay for no particular reason, especially around map transitions added to cut some of the original version's larger maps into smaller chunks. There are also a few gameplay oddities that make it more of a chore to play, such as several weapons getting a noticeable decrease in their effective range because the original game's zoom aiming was replaced with now-standard ironsight aiming.
