The game takes place on Rook Island, a beautiful tropical island terrorized by drugs and slavery. One of Far Cry 3’s strongest elements is its story. Far Cry 3 is an amazing game that every FPS fan should play. Ultimately, no comparison will do Far Cry 3 justice. The influences of Ubisoft’s iconic assassin series are very obvious. If Far Cry 3 is similar to any series, then it’s like Assassin’s Creed with guns. Far Cry 3 doesn’t play anything like Skyrim with guns, but it’s completely deserving of the compliment.
After playing through Far Cry 3 myself, I have to agree with him. The marketing team at Ubisoft must be big fans of Bethesda, because I can’t see any logical reason why they would advertise Far Cry 3 as “Like Skyrim with guns.” Even Machinima’s Adam Kovic, who originally said the phrase in an interview at gamescom, admits that it makes little sense (/watch?v=4Uir6O7cx5U).
