Far Cry 3 is a non-stop rollercoaster of disturbing moments from beginning to end, and with psychopaths
like Vaas, ruthless criminals like Hoyt and sadists like Buck it's not a surprise that
the game contains so many messed up moments, but here are some of the most disturbing!
Let's start off with Buck, the hitman who makes Agent 47 look like a pussy cat!
He is a sadistic, psychopathic pervert who’s hobbies include torture, rape and murder,
and he's keeping one of your best friends, as a sex slave in his basement.
To free him Buck forces you to find a priceless ceremonial dagger, but its only when you eventually
retrieve the blade Buck’s most disturbing moment occurs.
As you enter his basement you’ll find your friend Keith sitting traumatized on a bed,
shaking, terrified of his captor.
As you try to reassure him however Buck comes up behind you, and the implications of what
he's been doing to Keith become clear.
Buck has been repeatedly torturing and raping Keith for days while he had you running around
the island doing his bidding, but now with you also trapped in the basement, Buck intends
to add to his collection.
This sadistic monster is the first major villain you deal with in the game, he certainly sets
the tone for things to come.
Some of the game's most disturbing moments involve your two brothers.
Within 10 minutes of the game starting your older brother Grant will be shot in the neck.
While this tragic enough in itself this isn’t just a cutscene you can detach yourself from
and sit back and watch, the game will make you try in vain to keep him from bleeding
out.
However there is nothing you can do to save Grant's life, and as he breaths his last breath
you're forced to run away, leaving his body in the hands of the psychopaths who murdered
him.
But as shocking as Grant's death can be for the first time, it's nowhere near as disturbing
as what happens with your younger brother Riley.
While working undercover to rescue him you're put in a horrific position, beat and torture
your little brother, or risk your identity being discovered.
You're doing it to save his life, but that doesn't make it any less traumatic as you
repeatedly punch his bloodied face before jamming your thumb into his gaping wound as
he screams and collapses.
At this point you’ve done a lot of terrible things on the island, but you're forced to
ask yourself….
Of course we can't do a video on disturbing moments in Far Cry 3 without talking about
Vaas.
For years before you even arrived on the Island Vaas had been the cause atrocities for the
native people.
Although he was born on the island he became addicted to drugs and turned his back on the
other natives.
Now he leads the pirates who came to Rook island to rape, pillage, steal and murder
its inhabitants.
Each of your run ins with Vaas is disturbing in its own way.
From the first moments when he shoots your brother, to trying to burn you alive or drown you
but the most traumatic has to be when Vaas shoots you in the chest.
While being shot like this is pretty disturbing, what happens next is even worse.
You survived the bullet, but wake up surrounded by bloody corpses.
You have to claw your way out of a mass grave, pushing aside the mountain of gore on top
of you, desperately reaching for the daylight above.
Once finally clear of the grave you can see those in the pit are locals, murdered by Vaas
in celebration of your death.
As completely fucked up as Vaas is, at least he's actually insane, the years of drug abuse
has pretty seriously messed him up.
Hoyt on the other hand has no such excuse.
He is the source of all the evil on the island, a notorious drug kingpin and ruthless human
trafficker who leads the privateers
His actions throughout the game are cold and calculated, at one stage you even see him
force 3 natives to run through a field of landmines, but that's nothing compared to
some of his later actions.
Hoyt is someone who likes to make a point, and during a cutscene when you’re trying
to infiltrate the privateers he shows the crowd of recruits what will happen to those
who break his rules.
However the most disturbing moment you have directly with Hoyt comes during a poker game.
After your friend Sam loses the first hand of cards Hoyt stabs him neck instantly killing
him, leaving his knife embedded in the man's neck while his bodyguard holds a gun to your
head.
But instead of just finishing the job and killing you Hoyt decides to toy with you instead.
He begins to deal cards, but instead of playing for cash you're now putting your life on the
line.
Thankfully you win the next hand, and Hoyt claims to forgive your previous actions.
The tyrant begins to deal again, but this time your not so lucky….Hoyt tells you he
will be merciful, and only cut of one of your fingers.
Lastly, here's the one you’ve been waiting for, possibly the most disturbing moment in
the entire game, the ending.
Citra, is the tribal leader on the island, and one of your few allies.
Charismatic and beautiful she yearns to return her tribe to its former glory and throughout
the game you’ll assist her in doing so, but after surviving everything the island
could throw at you, killing Buck, Vaas and Hoyt along with countless others, you return
victorious, only to realise Citra has betrayed you.
She captures your girlfriend, younger brother and other friends before also drugging you.
As you stumble through the hallucination, your taunted by images of your friends while
Citra reassures and supports you.
At the end she will hand you a knife, but as the drugs begin to wear of you find yourself
holding the blade to your girlfriend's Lizas throat!
Pretty disturbing so far, but now you are offered a choice, save your friends and leave
the island, or join Citra.
If you choose the latter option you will slit Liza’s throat.
But it doesn't end there….im errr, just going to just let you see what happens next….
