I think people really miss out Vaas's last words and what it means. "Take me into your heart, accept me as your saviour. Nail me to the fucking cross and let me be reborn!" Despite what many people think, it is not for the sake of being edgy or to show more Vaases insanity. He literally want to be someone who is accepted and recognized as a potentialy good person, not in his life though, thats why he says nail me to the cross and let me be reborn. Vaas is suicidal theres no doubt about it, he just wanted revenge on Citra more, thats why he wants Jason to die so badly. He wants to be reborn and have another chance in life because he knows he is too far gone/beyond redemption and is willing to accept suffering akin to crucifiction to have a clean slate and start over. He is much more human than people give credit for.

Do you know what is poetic about the bad ending? That Jason basically dies by the same blade he kills so many people with, including his literal friends, lover and brother. You live by the sword you die by the sword in the most literal way. And the ritual knife being tossed into the ground in the good ending it really shows how Jason rejected his power and in a way regained his humanity. Is kind of like Apocalypse Now or Heart of Darkness, Jason's humanity is lost in the jungle.

Do any of you remember the buck missions where you have to retrieve the ancient knife for him to trade for Keith? Okay so after all those missions are done and you have the knife to bring it Citra I did something different. I fast traveled to dr. Earnhardts mansion and I went in the cave. I was looking at all of Jason‘s friends and there was an interaction button for lisa and I got a unique cutscene of him showing her the knife. It’s shows just how insane he was starting to get. Idk if anyone else has found this secret cutscene besides me. I thought about this when I was halfway throughout the video 1:18:57

Some say Jason is a stupid protagonist, because he could have just gotten a phone and called for help. I think by the time he could have acquired a phone and made a call the island was starting to get to him. We as players wouldn't want to make the call because that would end the game. Jason might have avoided it because deep down he also didn't want to end the "game". He said it himself: "it feels like winning."

i see joining citra as the true ending despite how much i want to believe he came to his senses and saved everyone, because jason is given what he was always searching for, she fed into what he already thought. its only at the end of his hallucination he is ready to kill his own girlfriend first, he snapped after that first kill and was dead long before citra killed him

@A_Person7307 5 ай бұрын

I feel like the good ending is the better one. Yes, you are constantly being pushed to the Citra ending, but the whole thing they were pushing Jason on was self-sufficiency. Citra was pushing Jason in that final scene, I could easily imagine Jason rejecting Citra so he can find his own path. Also, in an out of story thought process you can do more afterwards with the results of the good ending.

Basically, Jason should’ve tanked the citra stab & ended up stuck in a never ending loop like Vaas lol.

There’s one thing that really pulls me into Far Cry 3 is the takedown system. It immersed me into Jason’s shoes with first person animations. Every takedown is brutal and most importantly, adaptive. Like me as Jason is skilled enough to use weapons from the enemies to kill, take advantage of everything around me to survive. Fitting for the theme of being stranded and adapting to the jungle to survive. And late game takedowns feel like winning, as Jason said. Ubisoft dropped the ball with Far Cry 5 takedown system. Functionally it is the same, but without using enemies’ weapons, it just doesn’t feel the same. Far Cry 6 takedowns are brutally over the top that kill the stealthy vibe. I consider Far Cry 4 takedown system as the best in terms of gameplay - due to small tweaks that gives more creativity in chaining takedowns; but the takedown system feels best fitting for Far Cry 3 theme - started from a tool of survival to a tool of a warrior.

I remember my only issue with Jason, was the fact that I couldn't imagine someone actually wanting to stay, after he got all his friends and had a chance to escape because me as a player, sure I enjoy killing enemies, clearing outposts etc, but for Jason as a character that was not a game, so there was somewhat of a disconnect in mentality for me, but I still enjoyed the story

@Svikter 5 ай бұрын

Yeah I can see that, and especially if you are not fond of Citra, or your a horny teenager, you probably dont want to stay...

Me as a player back then, I chose a "good ending". Because that's what I as a player wanted for Jason. A chance to become normal. And I couldn't bear killing Lisa. Over time I understood and appreciated that there was no good ending for Jason.

@AK35_13 Ай бұрын

I get this. But I feel like how he’s always not found his place, people here feeding into his insanity and praising him as a hero, it pushes him to want to stay. His friends never touched the outside of the cave and forced to kill their way to save the others- they all relied on Jason, and the natives practically worshipped him for it. In his character bio, it says he had multiple side jobs, was a daredevil and in actual gameplay, it’s acknowledged that he’s a floater from Hoyt and he missed special family events like Riley’s pilot ceremony. He never felt like he had a ‘home’ or a place and the island was the perfect fit for what he was looking for. I think the good ending is the perfect one as he decided to stay but once he found Riley was alive, his one goal was to get him off. This is proven especially when he gets back to the temple with Riley and when Citra says “I’m glad you’ve returned victorious” he doesn’t care what BS she saying, he asks about his brother and his focus relies only on his kid brother and his friends- after he seen Dr. E die because the Rakyat betrayed him. I think at that moment, he realized it was wrong. Anywho- I’m rambling lol, what I mean is, Jason is a young person who doesn’t know who he is or what he wants to be. The time on the island serves as a silver platter of what he can be: a hero, a savior, a man, etc. it gives him purpose and reason to live and to be there. But I appreciate this comment, I love seeing the different perspectives 😊

Honestly... I wish the weapons in FC3 were a little harder to get. To a new fresh player, it might seem difficult... But, once you figure out how the system works, the weapons are just TOO easy to get (for free, especially). I do like how, in the later games, the guns were more "purchase" oriented, with cash earned in-game. If you want it, save up and buy it then. But, Far Cry 3 is still my all time favorite, no doubt about it.

@@calledrocket2653 Right, you could make the same correlation with Spec Ops The Line in which the duality of the games harrowing narrative in dichotomy with its late 2000's "gamey mechanics"; in which you feel the satisfaction of killing enemies and you want more and more (going down the rabbit hole) - until you get caught up and in the moment and it hits you all at once on what you've been doing the entire game.
