![]() I’ve seen a herd of rhinos smash up an entire enemy base. This is just one of the many ridiculous things that animals have done in Far Cry 4 while I have been watching. I just stood there in the clearing, thinking something that I have never before thought while playing a computer game. I watched it soar over the tree tops before dropping the pig into a cluster of bushes in the far distance. Its flight was laboured and slow, of course, because it was carrying a pig. An eagle swooped out of the sky, grasped the pig in its claws, and took off again. ![]() I was pretty pleased, but as I traipsed gingerly over to my prize, something unexpected happened. I caught the pigs quite quickly, and managed to snag one with a single sniper shot from some considerable distance. The game’s map shows you where you can expect to find certain types of animal, so you just head into the area and scout quietly through the bushes, or along valley pathways, hoping to sight your pray. Yesterday, I was hunting pigs because I needed a bigger wallet. This has always been the case with the Far Cry series, which is much more about the player vs the environment, than shooting at enemies, but Ubisoft has really cranked up the anarchy this time. ![]() There are dozens of different types of creature roaming the landscape, all exhibiting their own needs and behaviours, and they do what they want, regardless of your plans as a player. ![]() The beauty of Far Cry 4 though is that the animal kingdom is a truly anarchic system, and these are very rare in video gaming.
