well I just got far cry

and don't get me wrong I'm not behind in games or anything, but this game is class!

it was very far ahead of it's time, and I really appreciate that, like in terms of level design and character animation, not just graphics alone. It was very very advanced for it's time

I knew it was ahead of it's time, but this far ahead? it's quite amazing how bad the console games of the same name are compared to this, cos this clearly looks better than the xbox 360 version does now!!!

I'm quite impressed by this game that's all

Technically it is a very impressive game.... but for me the story did let it down somewhat.

it was a great game and the multi player is still fun, but the campaign got boring about half way through for me :(

i hear that the xbox/360 versions of the game left out the awesome free-roaming nature of the series, and instead made it a standard, halo-esque linear adventure. Is that true? 'cuz if so, i'm glad i've only played far cry in its best form on the PC.

Far Cry was one of the best games I have ever played. The singleplayer and sandbox kept me occupied for a good 2-3 months.

That game had me blown away for a good 6 months, the 64 bit patch is cool too.

Looking forward to Crysis because it looks top grade like far cry

I had fun with the game until it turned into Doom with M4s. Before you started fighting the freaky monkey monsters it was great.

I've been through Far Cry 4plus times and was amazed at how quickly you can get through once you know all the shortcuts. Some levels took forever the first time, and were much, much, faster once you figured it out. 

Highlights for me:

Over-the-top Mercs shouting "I'm going to shoot you in the face!"

Jumping the Dune Buggy over both lava rivers at the second to last level, and driving right up to the fortress door.

Running over anything with the Humvee! -and then blasting away with the OICW.

Killing the SOB with the rocket launcher in the tower (the level with the moat and flyjack).

dunno, I got far cry 2 weeks ago and err... it's not my kind, I love more the games that are less realistic, but with a top class story like half life 2, and episode 1 :D ( waiting for ep.2 with PORTAL, ohhhhh yeah! ) dunno, I suppose games are like food, it's not everybody who love the same things! :D

[QUOTE="monty_4256"]

If you are Christian, put this in your signature.

senjutsu
I hate religions, they are the opium of the people like Karl Marx said... And I hate the followers of the "gods" because they valorise an archaic system based on cruelty and abuses... ps: all the gods were ( at the base ) created to control masses by controlling their fears and needs, why do you think the christian religion say the poors will go to paradise? because like that nobody want to be paid by the elite.... how many costed the cathedrals in italia? nothing... pps: sorry for my bad english, I'm french, studying at the university of Québec at Montréal in psychology. Oh, and if you're at the university, you surely saw that almost nobody trust in god there, why? because the religions fear the information... Even if the people who trust in god will live longer because they do not fear death so they are less anxious, but instead of always seeking stupidity and god trusting we should try to understant death, instead of evitating the subject.... I hate ignorance! sorry for that, it's just that... somebody who is proud to be a christian, for me, is the worst...

Nice post /\

Im a happy Atheist aswell, who was a former Catholic - but if christianity floats your boat fine.... Just dont spout biblical bulls*** at me.

The worst are people who put so much dependance in a God, are too short sighted to see their own faults.

Wait a sec... This comment wasent even on this thread! :lol:

indeed

im only about 3/4 of the way through the single player and i've had mixed feelings.

at first it was an interesting experience to play far cry in the immersive jungle. you could be stealthy, you could be tactical, but you couldnt just run in guns blazing. the non-linearity of the game is nice touch. i started to dislike the game once the mutant monkeys came. they one shot you basically which was very frustrating. i quit playing the game for awhile.

i picked up some months later and continued to play. i wasnt too impressed as it was basically the same experience as before. But slowly i started to realize that this is actually a well made very enjoyable game as i progressed even farther. right now im claiming far cry to be one of my favorite FPS games and a game that every PC enthusiast should try.

i havent finished but i hope this game goes out with a blast and good story :) although i've heard different =\

Looking back, it's pretty ugly, but it was fun for a while when it came out.

the checkpoint saving got me frustrated a couple of times, but in the end it was a great FPS.

it was a great game and i loved the open-ended gameplay and graphics, but it was way too hard for me. the checkpoint save system and the really crazy enemy accuracy made it a pain in the @$$ for me. or maybe im just a noob :P

I really liked the concepts and open endedness it presented but the story was so done that it ruined it
