Far Cry 3 vs Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
Far Cry 3
Far Cry 3 is the third installment in the Far Cry franchise that's unsurprsingly set on another beautiful tropical island. However, in this game, you'll be battling warlords who own slave rings in an attempt to try to rescue your friends. You'll also meet some really odd and disturbed people along the way; people whose loyalty changes whenever it suits them.Being an open world game, you are given complete freedom when deciding on how to approach an objective. There are plenty of vehicles for you to use as well as tons of weapons that can be customized. Far Cry 3 also has a co-op aspect where you can play with up to 4 of your friends via campaign mode, or you can also play the multiplayer mode where team-play is highly emphasized. Best yet, the game even has a map editor, allowing players to create new content for other players to enjoy.
Featuring gorgeous graphics, a crazy yet engaging storyline as well as a fun and flexible gameplay, Far Cry 3 is an amazing sequel to the franchise. If you love Far Cry, you'll enjoy this version of it.
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds has rapidly grown from being simply a belated April Fools' parody of the increasingly popular Battle Royal genre into a full-blown battle royale game itself (note the irony). The game has a fun crystalline-like graphical style and a gameplay that may remind you of Player Unknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG)... basically meaning that although you cannot build stuff, you can drive vehicles, including helicopters.What sets this game apart from all the other battle royale games is how "not serious" the game takes itself. The silliness in this game is through the roof, making it an excellent game to goof around with friends. The game touts a "physics-based everything", giving rise to hilarious moments while playing, such as getting blown off the ledge you're barely standing on due to the recoil effect from your gun. Of course, like PUBG, there are tons of cosmetics for your "weirdo" character to wear, sometimes to comedic effect - a Gandalf-slash-samurai, anyone?
In the realm of competitive battle royale gaming, it's really nice to see a game such as Totally Accurate Battlegrounds taking a mickey out of the possibly-overhyped and heavily-marketed genre. The game is currently undergoing a major overhaul due to its shift from free-to-play to premium and will be adding in anti-cheat measure and matchmaking, as well as improving server operations. As such, if you're thinking of getting this game, you might want to wait a bit.
