Far Cry 3

superhyper · December 3, 2012

One of the best perks imo, guess it all comes down to the playing style, it fits mine perfectly :p

The game is amazing so far :D, but i was wondering if you can carry bodies? :confused:

There's a skill perk that lets you drag bodies after a takedown, otherwise no

Yea, but its not something too handy imho.

I use it often actually. If I go for an enemy and take him down, I try to drag him to the nearest wall or whatever cover I can find that isn't near any of his buddies paths.

I've played it today. I was waiting very long time for this game, I was so disappointed after Far Cry 2. And this time Ubisoft didn't fail. I'm at 5th mission right now, and I've fell in love with this game already. Shooting system is great, landscapes are breathtaking, and optimization is good too, I'm in shock that I can play it at medium/high details on my old PC that is not very good right now. I'm just discovering the game, but for now I have what I wanted to. And I'm glad it has that old good Far Cry 1 feeling :D

If you got to this level this is probably the best freaking part i've experienced so far :cool:

Hi there,

I playing this game - with a hexeditor and this unpacker(thanks to Rick) - and Haoose the first mod :D - and plan making an (ultra)realistic mod.

Some feature is working/testing, some feature is planning - currently I use mainly a memory editor:

- no minimap, no hud (only required elements visible) - currently testing in memory and

- replace minimap to a simple compass

- holster any weapon - working

- hold knife - i hope

- create/modify medikit recipe to food recipe eg. 2 green leaf + pig leaf :) - seems possible

- starvation (declining vitality - need food to stopping) - seems possible memory tested

- use medikitless healing aimations - for both healing - and use normal animation for eating (use medikit) - seems possible memory tested

- normal timelapse 1 game minute = equally 1 real minute - testing

- realistic damage values - need more time

etc.

Videos is coming. :)

I had to buy it so naturally I did and I can honestly say I am completely blown away. After the travesty that was Far Cry 2 - this is incredible.

Am in Dubai tomorrow, so hopefully be able to pick up a copy... unless AC3 is there too. Then I'll have a dilema.

Would you say it'd make a good Christmas present for someone who likes shooty games then?

superhyper · December 6, 2012

Definitely.

Just finished the main storyline and I gotta say, even though it was a bit dumb at some parts, most of the characters were brilliant. Rarely have I enjoyed the single player campaign of an FPSs this much. And still got loads of stuff to do :)

Camel · December 6, 2012

Tempted to buy it myself too... But :hmmm:

tomsolo · December 6, 2012

Enchanced weapon holster test :)

Dashie, please patience I working this stuff... :)

TimBud · December 7, 2012

In Dubai now. £45! :(

But I did find GoW3 for £15 too... Not too bad for Dubai 'no tax' prices

Would I be correct to assume that the camera take photo option is just there for the heck of it? Or can you actually take photos and save them that'd be quite cool.

Ozzmcom · December 7, 2012

well I've been playing it for a while now .

I do prefer fc2 to this one.

it had better graphics, better gameplay and the story line...

jeez I mean how cheesier could it get. I knew they'd blow it.

But anyway it's fun for a while then it gets pretty repetitive

The online modes are really fun though. I haven't even checked the co-op yet.

So yeah I'd count on multiplayer rather than the story

hassan1995 · December 7, 2012

I disagree with you Ozz the gameplay is amazing the story is brilliant, okay a little cheesy but yeah it was good fun and the graphics are amazing compared to far cry 2

Please read at your own risk if you don't want to know what goes on further ahead

the story is brilliant,when you kill Vaas the music and the way you killed him was amazing I just got to that part and was totally immersed sad to see Vaas die I would of preferred Jason dead :lol:

I think I need to try to sink a lot more hours in to this as it hasn't really been anything memorable so far, for me anyway. Apparently it gets better the more you progress through the story, but by Sunday last weekend I found myself playing other games already and I'd only had FC3 for two days.

It doesn't really give me any real urge to play it, I just randomly think "Hmm, haven't played it in quite a while so I better get my money's worth out of it" and go on it for a while. Seeing as I've got a week off I'll see how far I can get and see if it gets any better. Feel like I'm getting the flu now though so I'll probably just stay in bed half the week instead :p

I like the graphics, I like the weapons, I like the vehicles, but nothing else really engages me.

Had the first touch with multiplayer tonight, was pleasantly surprised :p

iNotACactus · December 8, 2012

I was too. It's less CoD-ish than BF3, still has a fair share of idiots though. Most can be avoided by doing the bronze/silver map playlist which I quite like anyways.

What game are you two even playing? (It's about to be a war so maybe just don't click the spoiler tag.

Ozz you liked FAR CRY TWO BETTER!? Far Cry 2 was a travesty. It was not even close to the original game and it had a horribly repetitive story, with the worst AI I had ever seen in a game. This brings it back to what Far Cry is all about. An island. A man and lots of stealth and shooting. I thought the story was trippy and actually well thought out and I haven't even beaten it yet. There's so much to do that I haven't even been focusing on the main quest line. The graphics are great, the characters are strange, but also very good. And the gameplay is engaging, with many many things to do besides just do the story line.

Not sorry for my opinion either and even if I massively disagree with the two above me, I do respect your opinions. I merely produce some evidence that may change your minds. :)

Thoughtful discussion.
