Welcome to another episode of Retrotopia: Another Video Game Podcast. This is a show where we, Alan, Brian, and Sam, get together to discuss video games from years gone by. We like to look at video games from the perspective of lifelong gamers and how they hold up in the retro sphere. This week we are discussing Far Cry 3, a PlayStation 3/Xbox 360/PC game released in 2012 that follows Jason Brody, a thrill-seeking tourist stranded on a dangerous tropical island ruled by pirates and warlords. As he fights to rescue his kidnapped friends, Jason is pulled deeper into a violent world that tests his morality and sanity. Central to the story is his tense, psychological cat-and-mouse dynamic with the island’s infamous villain, Vaas Montenegro—a volatile and unpredictable antagonist whose obsession with madness mirrors Jason’s own transformation, blurring the line between victim and monster.
