What are your thoughts about this game?

I have never played the Far Cry games, but this latest one looks pretty kewl.

Have always trusted your opinions Magnum, thanks.

well thanks... 13 post and you trust my opinion, lol...closet Simmer r u? lol/ jk

First one was great, can find it real cheap now-a-days... worth it to test out.

FC2 was beautiful and great looking, game play was terrible... terrible weapon feel, bad guys respawning over and over, just poor gameplay design with ALOT of potential that never happened... IMO... hopefully they learned for FC3.

I just like to "read" more than I post..........LOL

I may look for the first one.......just to try. Just saw the videos and it looks great. I like open style go anywhere stuff. Too few fps games are well done in that way.

Thanks for the post.

I think FC2 could have been one of the best games ever, if they would just release the freaking SDK!!! That game modded could have been soooo much more; and I don't even mean graphics or "eye candy" mods (IMO it looked just as good if not better than BF3)...just being able to tweak the AI, weapons, and some gameplay elements could have made it like a new game.

So sad...
Not buying the 3rd unless they plan to allow the modding community to actually do something with the game.

Don't bother looking at Far Cry 1. It has no bearing on FC2 or FC3 as it was done by Crytek, makers of Crysis and Crysis 2. FC2 was done by Ubi in-house and I believe the same for FC3. So while it appears they want to make FC3 look like the first game, my gut says it will play more like the 2nd one. So, if you liked FC2, you should like FC3, maybe more. If you hated it, I don't think you'll like FC3.



The Jedi Master

All 3 games are entirely different. FC1 was nice, but FC2 was better IMO. It just had no mods and an annoying bad guy spawn system... the story was rather weak as well, but it was a nice arcade shooter that was open ended.

FC3 looks to be more close ended like FC1 (still open, think of Crysis), but with a lot of swearing. I have a feeling it won't be as good as FC2...

Love FC2, I think it's an excellent game. Repetitive with the checkpoints, but still pretty amazing. A lot of games could learn something from it. In SP that is, not MP other than the map editor on console.
Plus it turns up dirt cheap on steam sales on a regular basis, easily worth it for the asking price.

Been playing it (FarCry2) and you are right RawKryptonite, a very amazing game. BUT toooooooo repetitive! Those never ending jeeps! LOL


But an open environment and the choices are great. Weps could be a little MORE effective. Many games could learn from it.


Having fun in the New Year.

You're using the bus system and the river boats, right? I also went cross country where possible, the roads just make you jeep bait.

Pity they didn't put an engine on the hang glider, firing rocket launcher from a microlight would have been very cool.
