Far Cry 3 - Saved the best for Last?
![]() Far Cry 3 doesn't come out until December 4th, so the thread is a little premature. But from what I've seen from the videos, and the things I've read in reviews/heard on podcasts. Far Cry 3 the last big video game release of 2012, might just be the best of 2012. Reviews:

And to think, I could have had this game for free...
|
can't imagine having as much fun as i had with the 1st one's editor
|
I'll probably pick this up for around $40 after i beat halo 4.
|
Looks pretty sweet. I'll probably pick it up once I finish the other games I still haven't completed.
|
Got it - won't be playing it until week of Christmas.
|
Anyone play this yet?

Actually since I play at a resolution of 2560x1440 my graphics card is struggling with it maxed out so I need to find out what can get me at least 60 FPS without downgrading too much. If all else fails I can turn everything to Low and have it look 10x better than the 360 anyway. ;) |

Doing all settings on High with DX9 gives me consistent 50-60 FPS. Good enough and the game still looks great. I just wish I had the rig to max this game on Ultra.
|
What you running?
|
i5 2500K @ 4GHz
GTX 580 1.5 VRAM 16GB 1600 RAM I would be fine at 1080p but 1440p is pretty demanding and my 580 doesn't have enough VRAM... if I knew better I would have gotten a 3GB version when I built my rig. Also one of my 580's shit the bed. I haven't done much testing to see if it's just the card or possibly the mobo's PCI-E slot got screwed.. too lazy. lol I'm just going to deal with it. Next upgrade will be the GTX 700 series. |
1.5 ain't enough for those high resolutions, mayne. I went nuts and got the 4GB 680, but it was worth it for the 5760x1080 greatness.

I didn't even know they made a 4GB 680... damn. How do you like triple monitors? I tried it and it was cool but I much much prefer a single 27" at 1440p. |
I enjoy cheating in BF3 online lol
I currently have been using the power of my PC to play Crusader Kings 2 though, which consist of maps and menus only. |
Yep you guys still aren't doing a good job of convincing me to get a PC.
O and no1 has still played this game! lol. |

Crusader Kings is basically Game of Thrones: The Game. It isn't about controlling a country or army, but rather about controlling and expanding your houses influence and size.
I told Jag yesterday, but I had a mentally retarded daughter who also happened to be a dwarf. Yes, mentally retarded is actually a trait in the game. Anyway, like a good father, I was trying to marry her off to a prince so that one day she might become queen and have me some kingly grandchildren. Well, king wasn't hearing that. So, I send my spymaster to his country. 3 years later, she sends word that the king is actually a homosexual. I use that as leverage to get in there and marry that girl off. Some years later, she died in a "mysterious accident" before she came of age to marry. The game basically always has multiple threads like this playing out all the time. |
Sounds like fun actually, so i assume it's not multiplayer?

Started playing a bit more over the weekend and it really is a great game. I can see it getting a little repitive though considering a lot of things are the same like taking towers offline, taking over bases, etc. Some things are cool at first but get tiring like stealth takedowns but the freedom to tackle obstacles in multiple ways plays much like the first Crysis.
Game looks great and I'm only running High on DX9. |
Yeah i got to the saw mill and I'm bored.
So i'm selling it already. I'll just stick with COD once a week or so until Tombraider or GOW arrive. |

Yeah, that's the problem I started having with Far Cry 3. Felt a bit repetitive, and there wasn't anything there pushing me to keep going. Plus I'm feeling some bad shooter fatigue.
|
I think just like Skyrim, the game is better played not following a path and just going out and exploring. Hunting is actually pretty good in this game and it's always hilarious to see a tiger take out a group of pirates. The game world is very immersive and alive so I give it that.
