welcome
no i promise they're not real dogs they're just animated oh hello chip dippers welcome
to retro recipes and with the imminent release of far cry 6 i thought it was about time that
i revealed to you some of the incredible secrets that i've discovered playing one of the best
games ever made no not spy versus spy uh in this case we're talking about far cry 3
we're going to be breaching walls breaking through code glitching and looking at some
funny moments now you might be thinking well excuse me mr perifractic i demand an immediate
refund this is meant to be a retro channel and that's fine just send me all your bank
details and your mother's maiden name and i'll refund you but it's not really that big
a stretch because although i do sometimes go off menu anyway far cry 3 is nearly a decade
old and it's a game that i still play today albeit in its remastered ps4 form
and i am a bit of an islomaniac i have to admit i love palm trees and sand and that's
why i moved to california and the tropical open world of far cry 3 is truly beautiful
i've played through the whole game about three times and once you finish you get to just
roam free and it is wonderful to go and just sit on a sunny beach watch the sunset and
forget all your worries you don't have any worries do you
worries in my case though like what is retro you see i saw a social media post recently
that got me thinking about that and it is true you know someone who played this or other
games when they were seven would be an adult now and those games might be the epitome of
nostalgic retro gaming to them like for example ghostbusters is to me on the commodore 64.
and far cry 1 looks even more vintage and according to retro gaming facebook groups
like retro bits and bobs it is from the early 2000s, 2004 to be precise so even it is considered
retro now so it really does seem doesn't it that the goal posts of what retro means are
expanding every year that passes will windows 7 seem retro nostalgic to someone perhaps
if they first installed it on a computer with their dad or something will windows 11 seem
nostalgic and retro in the future if you can ever find a pc capable of running it that
is hasn't needed an update in 35 years i think we're all keeping up with commodore aren't
we *raspberry*
either way let me know what you think retro means and with that said let's just jump straight
in to the breaching glitching and those funny moments
naughty dog but i'm also going to be a bit naughty here in thurston town this compound
is a bit unusual in that many of the game's mechanics don't really work here you can't
shoot for example but i became pretty fascinated by the block of flats here
- don't you mean apartments they're not flat - well i guess she's got a point
but i got to thinking what's inside the flat apartment the game doesn't really want you
to know you can't open any of the doors or jump up a floor it may not even be coded inside
but i couldn't let that stop me so like a velociraptor i systematically checked for
weaknesses to breach the walls and i've found this shed which has given me an idea and you
won't believe what we're about to see
uh well the floor just gave way and we're inside not only hasn't that floor been coded
that we fell through but neither has any of the inside look at this
and it turns out ladyfractic was wrong for once the flats are flat in fact they're well
they're invisible
- you're invisible to me - so for some reason we can now see outside
for miles and it's also made the hills invisible while the trees just appear to float in nothingness
well either way mission accomplished i only hope all the residents get their security
deposits back
but i promised you some fun moments and hear that clunk let's go outside and see what made
that sound and it turns out my boat has respawned on top of my boat yeah as we all know two
objects can't occupy the same space that applies in reality as well as in computer games so
we end up with some boat on boat action.
water palalava.
more of that fun stuff in a moment with a seamless segue from sand to silicone because
if you need pcbs for a modern or retro project we recommend PCBWayyyy they make great quality
pcbs starting at just five bucks because as we all know pcb stands for pirates combing
beaches oh yes it does now after i'd completed the game for the third time and collected
every single item across both islands i realized well there were actually a couple of loot
boxes left to collect like this one
don't worry she loves cozy areas it was only in there a couple of seconds but i mean like
this loot box it's permanently locked away in this building because i'd missed it during
the sequence of the game where that building temporarily opened up and you played through
it there's now no way to get back to it without starting the entire game over for fourth time
i don't really want to do that but i thought about these holes near the roof but some conveniently
strong gusts of wind actually prevent you from skydiving down onto the roof or anywhere
near the island it seems intentionally impossible to get there but that just won't do i realized
that there might be a way to get into the building through that crack not really the
type of crack we're used to in gaming but anyway problem is the entire area that crack
is in is off limits the surrounding wall is just too high to jump and again probably hasn't
been play tested and coded properly inside but what if i could get something to stand
on to give me added height to jump over the wall well in the game you can't pick up large
objects to place them under the wall but you can drive cars could a car actually give me
the height i need for some wall breaching but there's no cars on this tiny island so
then i thought and hear me out here what if i balance a car on a boat as you do sail the
boat to the island drive the car off the boat to the wall then jump on the car to breach
over the wall into the forbidden area it's a huge long shot isn't
it
huh i love this after three days of trying we are in the forbidden zone this is so cool
i was wondering if i could skydive off this tower onto the roof of the building that we
need but there's no way up the tower but there's the crack that we may be able to jump through
i'll just check this door
no everything else is closed off so the crack is the only way ah because this whole section
wasn't play tested i've essentially fallen through a hole in the code uh that you just
can't get out of nice for you though and i kept trying to no avail it's just there's
just no way to get through that particular hole but i'm not gonna give up let's try breaching
these holes in the wall using the wingsuit
and there we go after a number of attempts i found the perfect pixel and we're in
i'm surprised to see these baddies spawning here or perhaps they were always here i've
rescued them by killing them either way unlike in the cut scene where i played through this
building it's now empty which is a bit weird apart from that loot box
got it can't believe it
and you can use the vehicle technique in other places that you're not meant to be too like
this big shed containing some very lonely chickens
- you have big sheds that nobody's allowed in and inside these big sheds are 20 foot
high chickens because of all the chemicals you put in them and these chickens are scared
- uh only once you're in there's no way out without reloading so make sure you've saved
first yeah i should have told you that at the start more breaching and glitching in
a moment but first a caption contest oh dear what about this one comment below now not
really at least or breach this one but i wanted to get onto the roof of dr earnhardt's mansion
to see if what's obviously meant to look like a phone line could also be zip lined down
ah just helping him get his steps in oh um
he'll be fine he's just having a cat nap
now i mentioned two loot boxes left and the other is locked away in the temple again closed
to access now let's see if we can breach the roof
and after a lot of trying there it is we can just jump down here oh i've heard of glass
ceilings but that's ridiculous well let me know if you know how to get in there because
that one at least has me stumped
honestly marvin's half the man he used to be
seems fine
i know he'll be okay i mean he's dead but he's alive it's confusing well either way
i think that is probably enough pirate treasures for one day uh tell me in the comments do
you think this game is retro or is that a far cry from that *drumfill* sorry well thanks
