‘Far Cry 3’ Has Hilarious Marketing In ‘The Far Cry Experience’

Machinima and Ubisoft today released the debut episode of a hilarious new marketing strategy for Far Cry 3. The Far Cry Experience is a four-part series that pits Christopher Mintz-Plasse (as himself) versus a tropical island and its angry inhabitants.

I don’t want to give anything away. It takes just a few minutes to watch, in which I found myself laughing aloud more than once. Check it out!

I’m actually really looking forward to Far Cry 3. Far Cry was one of my favourite shooters of its time: the tropical island was a beautiful setting, and the powers that your character received certainly made the game stand out.

I’m sure that I’m not alone in saying that Far Cry 2 was a major disappointment, the open world, Malaria crap, and giant map with nothing to do made for an experience that I couldn’t put up with for more than a couple hours (to this day I haven’t progressed beyond those first few hours).

It looks like Ubisoft is taking the third game back a notch and bringing us back to the tropical setting of the first title. They’ve got my attention, lets hope it pans out alright. In any case I’ll be eagerly anticipating the next chapter of The Far Cry Experience.
