Far Cry 3 discussion thread.

What, if anything has Patch 1.01, 1.02 have brought to the Campaign Mode? It usually nothing but I know my friend will ask me to install them and if there is no need to break what is not broken... I rather not!

The deal with saves is they really only save progress. Generally upon using a save you will appear in the nearest safe house to where you were. Progress , money, items, should be saved as they were though even though position is not accounted for.

Finished last night.

I may even replay it with a different style.

I dont normally replay games

It's definitely an incredibly addicting game. It's probably the only game I've ever played where I could absolutely nothing immediately related to the main story and still get plenty done.

I will definitely be going through it a second time.

I've removed the attachment as it was getting a Trojan hit when checked at https://www.virustotal.com/ it could be a false positive as it was only detected once but that's enough for it not to be attached here.

I can understand that.
Very often the memory hooks and coding used in trainers do cause false positives.
Better on the safe side when it comes to the site though.

The game gets a bit repetitive but I gotta admit, it is fun to tackle it and the view is not bad at all... my little pet peeve is the fact that they called it Far Cry and that this is more of an Adventure game than a Shooter... very fun nonetheless.

I think the general idea is to assault camps differently, I switched between stealth and just lobbing as many explosives as possible down range. It really isn't that different from far cry 2 in it's general format. It is also just like far cry and far cry 2, in that it has absolutely nothing to do with either of the games that came before it.

Sniping is what I love, perhaps because I suck at close quarter combats (when I get anxious, I tend to hit the wrong keys even if my fingers are already on it! ) sio basically what I do is... I approach the camp from a hill, get the camera so I know where most of them are, I start sniping the snipers first, wait for the HEAVIES to turn around and snipe them as well, rinse and repeat with the CHARGERS and other baddies. Or, I like this one too... they usually have a caged animal so I snipe the cage and let it run a mock and this is when all hell brakes loose because they are not alerted to my shooting. Other times I just let them have it with the GL90

Crytek, IMO, intended for the Far Cry game to be mostly an open world shooter with some rare creatures to boot and not an adventure/repetitive/go pick up flowers with the sporadic shooting... that's what I meant. I do enjoy the scenery though, at least much better than the Desert Savannah of FC2 with 1 animal every 100 miles (and yes... of course I am exaggerating! mostly for effect! )

The crytek engine. You want to know what it's really for.
I'll show you.

Amazing what a well placed score (song) can do to cinematography

That's apparently sound track music from the game as well.
Release date for it is still flaky but I've been waiting for a good space game that actually made use of modern graphics for awhile.

 

[AstaLaVista]

I loose my bearings in flying so fast is not even funny but yeah... I would be willing to take one of those spaceship for a spin

Anybody having issues burning the crops on the second running of the game... friend played it on normal and now he's trying to do it on hard and the crops just won't burn

Another great Ubi bug

 

[Maguscreed]

Actually that bug was patched, in one of the first patches.
Is he playing a legitimate copy?
This should only be happening if he doesn't have the updates, and the only way that should be happening is if he isn't using uplay.

 

[AstaLaVista]

He turned uplay off (offline only) as he only does single player and usually UBI patches ruin more than they fix. Yes, I went to read up about it and it seems like patch 1.02 fixed the issue.

Do the patches need to be install 1 by 1 or patch 1.04 has everything? Also, do the patches crap on your saves?

Thanks

 

[Maguscreed]

I honestly don't know, I just let it auto.

(yes, I know it's a week old quote)
Yeah, it feels more repetitive than the first did, but from what I've played of it and the second (and a ridiculous amount of the first) FC3 seems a lot more of a spiritual successor to Far Cry than FC2 was. I'd like to say that it's not just because it's set on an island, but I fear that may be all that's influencing that thought
