The year is 2007. It is the future.

Earth has been ravaged by a nuclear war and new paths for peace must be found.
A U.S. cyborg army may have found a solution: a powerful bioweapon on a distant island.
Sergeant Rex "Power" Colt has been sent over to gather information and figure out what the hell is going on.
Part man, part machine, all American, Rex is a state-of-the-art Mark IV cyber-commando on a mission of vengeance.
Out to bring down his old commanding officer, Colonel Ike Sloan, and his battalion of ruthless killer cyborgs, he'll stop at nothing to get the job done.

Mark IV style, motherfucker!

Set the mood.

 

[RoKKeR]

MARK IV STYLE MOTHERFUCKER!

This will be glorious.

 

[antitrop]

Extra content of the generation. I think this will be better than Far Cry 3.

Right behind Undead Nightmare.

 

[Kajiba]

Mark IV Style Mother Fucker

Day 1

Can't wait to play this

 

[Andrew.]

I dont know about that fucking Faltermeyer Bev Hills Cop shit posted but..

This will definitely go down as one of the best DLCs this gen easily and basically automatically based on presentation and "Long Tall Sally" alone.

 

[Gbraga]

NO MORE BEARS.

Set the mood.

Except it's not this song here.

 

[Visualante2]

Shout out to AMD for hopefully giving me this free with my 7800 series card.

 

[antitrop]

Right behind Undead Nightmare.

You make a strong case.

 

[Tesseract]

Except it's not this song here.

;0

i hope this game is a test balloon for a bigger, badderest sequel. looks freaking rad, and oh lords the ost is good. dat power core.

 

[BoSox06DH]

So hyped for this epic expansion spinoff thingy. My ready is body.

 

[MechaBowser]

This looks amazing still. Has potential to be the best expansion of this gen.

 

[Krappadizzle]

You make a strong case.

Well, we'll see. But, RDR was an example of exactly how DLC should be done at a fair price point. This def. follows in those footsteps.

 

[Andrew.]

My Biehn is ready.

 

[Uno Venova]

I rarely get hyped for DLC like this. Give it to me.

 

[Data West]

Well, we'll see. But, RDR was an example of exactly how DLC should be done at a fair price point. This def. follows in those footsteps.

But at least RDR kept the same characters.


This shouldn't even be called Far Cry 3. I don't know why it is, but the fact that it is and has NOTHING to do with Far Cry 3 vanilla makes it hilarious.

 

[lmpaler]

This is going to fucking rule!

 

[blame space]

I'm in for this.

 

[Krappadizzle]

But at least RDR kept the same characters.

It really should have been just Blood Dragon, but they are trying to ride the coat tails of FC3 for sales. So a tiny bit of artistic integrity sacrificed for the greater good. I'd say if they wanted to make expansions, stand-alones like this, they could call it Call of Halo Sugar Cats: Blood Dragon II'ier for all I care. As long as they keep making it like this.

 

[The Jason]

So ready for this

plays theme song

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

We are not worthy.

 

[SixStringPsycho]

$14.99?! I thought it was going to be more expensive! Mine along with RE:Revelations

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

I love the aesthetic and humor of this but I'm really hesitant to buy because FarCry 3's gameplay bored me very fast and the gameplay seems mostly unchanged.

 

[darkside31337]

man totally forgot this was coming out next week. so in for day one. nice week for me between this, soul sacrifice and deadly premonition.

 

[Anth0ny]

I really want this to be good. Please be good. Such an awesome premise.

 

[SpartanForce]

I finished in about 3 hours. Good game, and The Thing theme is there. Really nice music.

it's pretty much a fc3 mod, so it fits. kinda.

 

[onlyindreams]

Steam mentions Uplay now so I guess I won't be playing this. GJ Ubi.

 

[Krappadizzle]

uh oh.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Fucking amazing price. Sold.

 

[golem]

No link to the live action trailer?

Blasphemy!

[Sub_Level]

One thing the game is missing the Phase Plasma Rifle in the 40-Watt Range.

Oh phooey, ignore the aesthetics and the gameplay itself looks exactly like an expansion to Far Cry 3.

 

[Sober]

So 30 bucks this month for this and Monaco. Nice.

Time to watch some 80s action movies in anticipation.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Oh phooey, ignore the aesthetics and the gameplay itself looks exactly like an expansion to Far Cry 3.

Well it is based off of a mod. So yes, but the themes, music, weapons, animations are super cool. You don't get many games like this from a major studio with a big budget. I like seeing these risks made and hopefully rewarded. It makes it feel fresh. But yes, it's a reskinned FC3 with an awesome theme.

[Dead to Rights]

I finished in about 3 hours. Good game, and The Thing theme is there. Really nice music.

Was that 3 hours for a 100% completion? Or just the main missions?

 

[Dog Problems]

Can't wait to play this. Was the pistol that is used modeled after the Auto-9?

 

[Squire]

Get hype muthufuckas!

Can't wait for this. Goddamn.

 

[Bert409]

So how exactly is this connected to Far Cry 3?

 

[Data West]

So how exactly is this connected to Far Cry 3?

there are guns

 

[MaximumFlipFlop]

So how exactly is this connected to Far Cry 3?

From the looks of it, some of FC3's base gameplay mechanics are used. Stealth kills, healing, player movement etc. Almost like a reskinned FC3, with modifications

 

[JaseC]

Hunting and outposts are also in, IIRC.

 

[Alastor]

Buying the EU retail version!

 

[Alastor]

So how exactly is this connected to Far Cry 3?

It's like high-budget Far Cry 3 mod. The gameplay is very similar, but the rest is completely different.
