    Far Cry 3 discussion thread.


    To all of those you playing, what are your thoughts etc?

    So far I think they really did learn their mistakes from FC2.

    They've also added some great features, 'inspired' by other titles.

    ►anyone else feel a red Dead redemption vibe when it comes to hunting/skinning animals?

    ►There's now more 'busy' work with more types to find in object gathering.

    ►Fast travel has improved significantly. Not quite Fallout fast travel, but close.

    ►Weapon handling/shooting feels very solid and the weapons sound great.

    ►Voice acting is pretty good - even if the locals sound like kiwis.

    ►Story line is adequate enough.

    ►Looks fantastic maxxed out.

    No more repetitive, magically re-populated outposts. Once you do an outpost, it stays done.


    However that eye candy comes at a price. Since there is currently no SLI profile for FC3, it's all down to running off a single 670. To maintain max settings, I had to lose AA and vsync. With x4 enabled, it literally halved the frame rate.

    *I think the latest AMD beta driver has CF working for FC3.


    What about you guys?

    That review by a mega site was not at all bad, I just hate the fact that to do a nice CGI scene they play with my intelligence a bit... like when you are taking down a baddy stealthy-like.

    I am not to convince and since this is Ubi we are talking about, I will wait a while longer to decide where I will like to stand with it.

    smarteyeball, I thought it was not going to be out until December, do you know anybody at Ubisoft, perhaps a secret handshake or something or as always... I am a day late and a dollar short!

    Going to pre-order the Deluxe Edition next week since I'm in NA and it's not out yet.

    I do hear a lot of good things about it though!

    Lol, no. It was released early in a few regions. I think they do it like this so when it's released to the big markets, there's already a patch or two for it.




    I'm really enjoying this game. However one downside to taking over out posts is that after clearing a few of them, there's no one to really kill in those areas when exploring etc


    It's a shame you can't use a controller and m/kb together like the last one. Vehicles are a lot more fun with a controller, but the aiming is poor. I used to jump in a vehicle, use the controller. Jump out and back to m/kb.




    Niggles aside, they went back to the drawing board and re-added fun to far cry.
