It took a while to answer the second part of that question. What the heck is going on, and why have I become the single-most important person in Kyrat the second I arrived? And then an angry bird appeared out of thin air and tried to eat my face.Įven the birds in this game want to kill me? I thought.

So once I was free to roam around on my own accord, I set about doing that. It's a lot to take in, in just a few minutes. Then those people turn around and ask that you help them in their fight against Min's tyrannical rule over Kyrat. A few minutes later, you're sprinting away from one of Min's ornate military fortresses because an insurgent movement known as "The Golden Path" came to help you escape. Then a man dressed like a flamboyant supervillain named Pagan Min shows up, and stabs one of the soldiers to death as punishment for killing everyone on the bus. A group of armed militants stop the bus and kill almost everyone inside. The very minute Ajay's bus crosses into Kyrat, all hell breaks loose. The game begins with you, as Ajay, travelling into the country for the first time in his life in the hopes of delivering the last remains of his dead mother to something called "Lakshmana." The slapstick absurdity of fending off furious eagles is exaggerated even further by the fact that Far Cry 4 tells you little to nothing about about who this guy is, or what he's doing here. This happened so often that I started to wonder if protagonist Ajay Ghale had some sort of bird feeder attached to his body. Everywhere I went in Kyrat, I was attacked by these spiteful birds. I stood in the middle of the street in silence for a moment, catching my breath.Īnd then there were the eagles. The explosion launched the dogs into their air. I bought it because I thought it was a shotgun. Grasping at straws, I switched over to a stout-looking weapon I'd just purchased. My bow was no use at this point, and I knew I wasn't fast enough to outrun them.

I got one with a clean shot to the head, but then another three sprinted at me full-tilt, going straight for my arms and face. I remember once very early in the game thinking that I could best the angry pooches with a bow and arrow. My mother had written, as her dying wish, "Take me back to Lakshmana." The monkey had no idea what was in store for his brethren.ĭogs seemed small and non-threatening in comparison to hungry beasts like lions and tigers. I want to write a letter to all the animals I've met in Far Cry 4.įirst there was the confused monkey, who looked up at me with big, sad eyes during my bus ride into Kyrat.
