    Far Cry 4 looks way different from when I first played

    When I first played this game the graphics looked like the game was from 2009 or earlier. I remember I just had played through Dying Light and then we started to play this game. We all bought it on Ubisoft Connect and I can see me and 2 other friends have played this for an hour. The game looked so bad and it was always dogs/wolves chasing us. We were 3 people in the same game. I gave up because the open world looked so bad and the dogs kinda ruined the experience. Now you only can be 2 and the graphics are way different. I have played now for 1 hour and it is nothing like before.

    They must have changed this game with updated graphics. Even on low it looks so good lol

    For me this is so mysterious.And I am 100% sure we were 3 people and the graphics were awful back then.

    no updates have been made to this game since the final patch that came out back in 2015 version 1.10.0

    also NO the game NEVER had 3 person co op .. again i have owned the title since the night it shipped in 2014

    you may be thinking of the MP mode where yes you needed at least 6 players 3 per team to launch a match ???

    co op PLAY was always you and one other player ... only ..and was limited .. ie you can not play the main game campaign in co op

    only some side missions and play around in the open world and yea you could get some one to assist you in out post takeovers
    and of course the custom made maps were also limited to 2 players
