The Far Cry Campaign You CAN'T Play

Ahh yes this will go down as one of The CO-OP campaigns of all time

I have utmost respect for a man who edited an entire videos worth of content only to fast forward the whole thing at 10,000x speed. Well played.

The only good thing about this campaign: helps drive home what Vass meant about the definition of insanity through its mission design, making it somewhat thematically coherent

That bit at the end with your righteous fury over Ubisoft shutting down Far Cry 3's co-op and multiplayer servers really resonated with me. I DESPISE how the games industry never bothers to preserve anything and even actively attacks efforts at preservation with lawsuits and C&D notices. So many games over the last 10 or so years have content that's dependent on servers run by the publisher. There's going to be a massive implosion in the future where 10+ years of gaming history just disappears in the blink of an eye.

Insanity is refreshing over and over expecting Raycevick to upload a new video

Legitimately impressed you still have footage of you playing this after so long

The final part hit me hard. There are so many great games you can't play anymore due all of this corporate bullshit. Just today, I see Crysis Trilogy Remastered on Steam new releases (I know they were out for a while) and then I remember that those remasters do not include pretty fun multiplayer that Crysis games had. They decided to cut it out completely instead of reworking it...

I've learned from comments that Ernest Cline is a jumpscare.

I played the co op a few times with friends and because we were in middle school and not good enough we didn't get far. I vaguely remember it being pretty hard. I do remember playing it with my older sister, beating the first level or part or whatever and both of us dying to one of the last enemies, being sent back to the beginning and losing all that progress. She rage quit and went to go listen to Justin Bieber in her room. Ah, 2012.

Honestly, "That piece of sh*t has my case." should become a meme for this channel, it's the embodiment of a lot of today's games.

The long range kill medal popping on a point blank headshot because the game thought he was still in the cave sent me over the edge

I remember this campaign vividly, not because it was great but because we had an argument whether a steel barrel should be called a steel drum rather then a steel drum and we had a fallout, most awkward part was that he also invited his sister to play and he went babyrage. Farcry 3 co-op is truly where miracles happen

I almost cried with your defense of Daikatana's Co-Op campaign right to exist. This is why I love your videos, Lucas. You always make your research but goes beyond that, reaching the heart of the matter, the core of the game! Keep up the great work, man. I hope I could find your in some Mass Effect 3 multiplayer online match and have a good time! Thanks!

I can’t believe crazy taxi would release something this brave 🤯🤯🤯🥶🥶🥶

Not only did I play the co-op, I bought several copies of this game on PC to give to my friends specifically to play the co-op with. It was hands down my favorite part of the entire game.

My brain literally just exploded because after all those years and after beating this game so many times, I had absolutely no idea that the co-op mode was its own standalone story. What the fuck lol

I very vaguely remember this campaign. Never played it myself but I'm pretty sure Achievement Hunter did a full let's play of it back in the day. Good times

OMG YES! I loved the co-op campaign of Far Cry 3. It was so much fun and its such a shame that you couldn't play it even like a year after release.

Oof, your rage at Ubisoft's complete disregard for game preservation hit me so hard it got me fuming too, and I've already had flare-ups at it when the news first broke about the shutdown of 15 games at once. Well said Ray and keep up the stellar work! Also, I would fucking KILL for funny moments-type videos of your footage alone or with your friends, because the little snippets we get in these things have me dying every time. Hell, I'd even edit them myself if the quality of the editing between your main videos and these prospect ones wasn't as stark a difference in quality between Far Cry 3's main campaign and the co-op one.

Funny that you did this after the Total Overdose, because at that game developer camp in 2012 we had another guestspeaker, the main technical lead for the farcry CO-OP game. She was picked out to head the technical aspect because of her work with DICE on what I think was Bad Company 2. She talked alot about the problems she face when talking to the higher ups in ubisoft because of her gender. She even said her 2nd in command was more respected by the heads because he was a male. But that aside, she requested that we not film her presentation because she simply could not promise herself that she not break any NDA she had signed. But she talked about the struggles with creating the coop mode with non existing netcode and that pressure of ubisoft promising a original campaign, when she had her hands full just getting the main build of Farcry 3 to run in coop. So I think that Ubisoft thought that getting a coop system made and implanted into Dunia 2 was easier. Also that Dev team for the COOP campaign was located in sweden so their work and timeline had to follow Ubisoft Montreals, and getting updated builds was a bureaucratic nightmare. Well I hope she went on to have a nice career. PS. This was the last speaker you can make a video for me to tell about my game dev camp trip, because the 3rd and last speaker was the main dev for unity game engine
