History Awesome / FarCry3

* This troper had a rather awesome moment happen to him when raiding a pirate camp. Out of nowhere, a tiger shoots through a forest and attacks the camp. One of the pirates throws a Molotov at it, causing not only the whole camp to start to shoot up in flames, ''but the tiger caught on fire and began to kill nearly everyone at the camp''. After the tiger died, there was only one guy left, who [[EpicFail ran into a burning jeep]].

* The AMR (Anti-Material Rifle) is this. Not only does it produce an extremely awesome sound when fired, but it's also THE most devastating sniper in the game. If killing any animal in a single shot doesn't sound badass enough, this sniper also destroys most vehicles in 2 shots! Did I mention hitting anyone with it will send them flying?

* The three characters involved in the [[spoiler:torture scene]] near the end of the game each get their own. [[spoiler: While disturbing and one hell of a PlayerPunch, Jason not hesitating to start hitting Riley and screaming questions at him in order to keep his cover from being blown is impressive when you think of how much willpower it must have taken to do so. Sam gets his moment when he realizes who Riley is and immediately tampers with the camera to give the brothers a little time to talk. [[DistressedDude Riley]] gets the third when he says he's willing to get beaten by Jason in order to maintain the illusion. The whole scene is pretty horrifying, but just the fact that all of the characters were able to think that quickly even during that tense situation is impressive.]]

** Your mileage may very strongly vary on this one. It can be a chillingly disturbing look at how far down the sanity slope Jason has already fallen.

** Even better? It goes into a trippy disco-floor arena like the previous two knife fights, which begs the question where the other two armed soldiers that were just there went. You find out once the fight is over. [[spoiler: Jason killed them. And about six other ones that must have come in later. There are bodies ALL OVER THE ROOM. This implies that Jason was hallucinating Hoyt to be a boss fight and making him out to be a more competent fighter than he actually was in reality, his mind couldn't comprehend the idea of a bunch of mooks being more difficult than their boss. This is essentially Jason's subconscious saying, "You know what? Killing is just becoming way too easy now."]]

* The moment when you can just sit back and let a [[EverythingsWorseWithBears bear]] or other dangerous beast take out an outpost for you.

* [[spoiler:[[FinalBoss Jason versus Hoyt]].]] Especially notable because [[spoiler: Hoyt just cut off Jason's finger. Jason realistically should have been in far too much pain to fight but he still manages to kill the bastard.]]

* Ever since ''Film/ApocalypseNow'' famously played Music/RideOfTheValkyries during a helicopter battle, players have wanted the same level of flare and spectacle in a video game during an aerial battle. Thanks to Far Cry 3, there is an answer. [[spoiler:In the last level, Riley, with no prior experience aside from a plane license, pilots a helicopter to escort himself and his brother Jason out of the clutches of Hoyt's men who want them dead for killing Hoyt. Jason provides covering fire with a machine gun and absolutely devastates an entire army of men, armored trucks, and other helicopters, all the while he encourages his brother with his first experience piloting a helicopter. When all is said and done both brothers feel like they are on top of the world and congratulate each other for a job well done.]]

* Adjusting for "bullet" drop with your bow and hitting a guy from 300 yards away with an arrow. It's pretty hard to pull off but when you do you are going to feel like a total badass. It's at moments like that in which Far Cry 3 begins to feel like, "Rambo: The Video Game."

* Its implied in the database entry for the magnum that Vaas ''caused the death of Kim Jong II''.

* The moment when you can just sit back and let a [[EverythingsWorseWithBears bear]] take out an outpost for you

* The [[http://img.game.co.uk/ml2/2/4/4/1/244134_xbx_b.png cover art]] for the Lost Expeditions Edition.

* The gunslinger takedown. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEvTBZ1bU3U Just look.]]

* Managing to take out an entire outpost undetected for the first time is guaranteed to make you feel like a badass

* Burning Hoyt's crop of marijuana and slaughtering anyone who gets in your way with a flamethrower is pretty awesome. Then [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR_u9rvFKzE this]] kicks in and you got CMOA.

* When Jason [[spoiler:gets shoot by Vaas he wakes up in a mass grave. Once he finds his way out from under the heap of bodies an onlooking villager flees in terror yelling HES COME BACK FROM THE DEAD!]]

* The Good Ending: Throughout the game Jason has shown that he can be as bad as the worst of the inhabitants of the island. [[spoiler: But when given the choice to murder his loved ones, Jason instead frees them and leaves with them. While many others have given themselves to the temptations of the island, he says he is better than that.]]

* Ever since Apocalypse Now famously played Ride of the Valkyries during a helicopter battle gamers have wanted the same level of flare and spectacle in a video game during an aerial battle. Thanks to Far Cry 3 we gamers now have our answer. [[spoiler: In the ending Jason's brother, with no prior experience aside from a plane license, pilots a helicopter to escort himself and his brother Jason out of the clutches of Hoyt's men who want them dead.
