Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon vs Vanquish
Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon
Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon is a pretty fun standalone spin-off from the usual Far Cry series, mainly because it has a rather ridiculous but awesome-looking graphics (the game is set in a super-modern 80s, back when neon lights are very "in"), and partly because the game exaggerated the usual insanity that the franchise provides.In this game, you play as the Rambo-like Cyber Commando, Sergeant Rex Colt who is on a very straightforward mission - protect the girl, kill all enemies and save the world. The variety of baddies that you'll encounter in this game is simply incredible, ranging from cyborgs and mutants to aliens and Terminators. It's also nice that this game uses feedback for Far Cry 3 and improved plus streamlined its upgrade system.
If you're looking for a game that will throw you back to the VHS era, Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon is the game you'll want to play.
Vanquish
Vanquish puts you into the shoes of government operative, Sam Gideon, who is part of the elite group of operatives that has their own Augmented Reaction Suit which give them superior firepower, superhuman speed and agility as well as a certain amount of suave as they take down groups of hostile and deadly robots. The combat system in this game is incredibly well-made and unique. Aside from having a bullet time system, it also provides players with a smooth gameplay, be it when they are performing kinetic melee moves or when they are trading gunfire with the robots.However, many players have mentioned about the flaw when it comes to weapon upgrades in this game. Unlike most games, you actually have to be equipping the correct gun type in order to pick up the upgrade cube, which randomly appears. It does provide players with the incentive to keep replaying the game but it can be pretty frustrating if you had to give up picking up a hard-earned cube because you don't have the weapon you need.
Besides this downside though, Vanquish is among the top-most third-person shooters that have excellent, well-designed mechanics. If you enjoy smooth combat and a cool and somewhat Halo-like suit, then this is definitely the game for you!
