Far cry 3 vs Far cry 4 which one is better?

[KDOS]

I need ur opinion

[-=SOF=-WID99]

both have their strong points many say FC 4 is a fc3 clone

but FC4 takes a better machine to run , you have to have a quad core CPU (dual core CPU's are not supported by Far Cry 4 )
and a decent good video card (not a laptop , unless you have a real expensive good gameing laptop with a Great GPU )

you also must have a 64 bit operating system to run Far Cry 4

Far Cry 4 many say has a weaker story line but i like FC4 better then 3 as it adds alot of gameplay stuff , like the gyro copter and riding elephants , being able to use a grapple hook to climb , more weapons . more insane wildlife that wants to eat you at every turn , throwable knives + more side missions

Far Cry 3 is still a great game .. but i honestly like Far Cry 4 more then 3

Farcry 3 was ♥♥♥♥♥♥ good so my choose would be farcry 3

Far Cry 3 has the better environment in my opinion and 4 has the more refined gameplay. It's a very tough call but I'd probably say 3 if you could only choose one, it's got more wow factor (though that could be because I played it first). Both with an extended break inbetween?

FC 3 story line was lame imho, the outpost take over resets were the best thing for it, the main story I only did it once because it just got boring for me and QTE was too much. FC3 side missions were repetitive and not too meaningful. All in all though you do find something to occupy yourself to get over 100hrs worth of gameplay. Pirate chat is hilarious.

FC 4, main story seems more mature, side missions seem to be more meaningful and more interesting, game play has more challenge in it. Vehicles handle better, copter is good when you remember about it, grapple hook no biggie, animals are more aggressive and faster, QTE has been minimal so far but only 18hrs in. Game play just feels better in FC4, elephants are a nice addition but too bad I can't heal them. I can play for 1-2hrs just running around killing bad guys and finding stuff not really progressing the main story but still being satisfied with my time spent playing.

Hardware FX8350 4.4ghx/R9 280x 3GB/24GB ram/1080p. Both fc3/4 can play with most of the bells and whistles on at maxed or a notch under maxed and get FC3 45-75fps / FC4 48-85fps, I can run ultra textures in FC4 but I didn't like the look so I run very high.

FC3 on sale is well worth it $7-$10 off and on, I paid $43 long time ago. $27+$3 Hurk dlc for FC4 I don't regret it

Farcry 3 one word Vaas.

I use a laptop and it runs like a dream. I don't think mine is the best you can get either to be fair. From what I've read however, it seems pretty decent. I have an Intel® Core™ i7-4510U Processor (4M Cache, up to 3.10 GHz) and run on Ultra graphics (maybe my 16GB RAM makes up for it).

I'm on a laptop as well, i7-4720HQ @ 2.6 Ghz Nvidia GTX 965m 2GB
graphics look great, runs smooth as butter......
only problem I've got is freeze when I exit options menu!
as long as I dont have to change anything its not a big problem for me.

by laptop i meant one with a low end GT series Nvidia GPU or AMD , or one with an Intel HD video chipset ,, several Nvidia as well as AMD laptop chipsets can not run the game fluently as they do not offer dedicated V ram and have low memory bandwidth and less pixel and vertex shaders then are offered on a modern desktop GPU .

there are a ton of laptops out there that have really low end gpu's

and a desktop GPU is always faster and has more bandwidth and more pixel and vertex shaders shaders (cuda cores)

a GTX 460 M is slower then a GTX 460 desktop card

FC3 made me feel a lot more.. Seeing Jason grow from a rich boy douche bag to the warrior he was always meant to be was great. Finally meeting up with the friends he worked so hard to save and the realisation creeping in that he is not one of them any more.
The soundtrack still gives me chills.
"I'm sorry" and "falling into a dream".. Just perfect.
FC4 is technically better from a gameplay point of view but I can't say I have enjoyed it more overall.

Only one sentence: An eagle...an eagle....what brainless made that ?

Far Cry 3 with Ziggy's mod and Gyga mod both installed - takes some file tinkering but it is the greatest Far Cry you will ever play - jungle stealth mixed with manic violence and epic battles - hordes of pirates come riding in burning the whole jungle as they try to flush you out....truly amazing.

I played Far Cry 3 through halfway, got a bit iffy on it, installed these two mods, played it all the way through twice and as soon as I completed it I just loaded it straight up again. That's how good it is.

Far Cry 4 is good but just not as good.
