Far Cry 3

[Eddie.]

Finally unlocked the AMR.

What a laugh that thing is! Carry it with me now incase I come across a heavy on a mission, seeing as it makes light work of their armour!

Shooting the normal guys with it is fun, they go flying!

Between this and the Shredder, I can't see much use for anything else!

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Bow and Arrow for when taking the piss is an option.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Got this the other day. Had a good few hours on it and I'm quite enjoying it.

Still on the first island. Done a few missions, rescued a few of the friends and taken out a lot of the outposts and towers.

Just looking for certain animals to craft some things like the largest loot pack and ammo storage.

 

[Snakey]

I done most the side missions before the main story! Great game although I found the story to be so so

 

[Ray Gin]

I thought it was a great game but at the end I got too bored, was taking out bases far too easily.

 

[Chri5]

Me too, I did all the stuff bar a few of the side missions! Once all the outposts are taken, theres literally only a hand full of enemies in a couple of places so you never really run into trouble

Im debating starting another save and going back to the start

 

[Snakey]

The 4 weapon slots are a kill, One Man Army FTW!

 

[RSteve]

I've spent a hell of a large amount of time on the first Island...doing all outposts, towers, side missions and everything in between. Also crafted everything I could.

But sadly even though I'm literally 3-4 missions off completing the game my interest seems to have dwindled, since I got the south island to be honest. No more outposts or towers to get, too many weapons to pick from including the specials and nothing to work to craft, i guess that's the same case on any sandbox game! I will muster the interest to finish the story though, I can't leave it like it is.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Well I finished the story. Pretty straight forward, not too hard really. Some of the stealth missions were a ball ache though.

Spoiler

opted to join Citra in the end as my friends were pissing me off. b**ch killed me after f**king me!

Just going round clearing outposts now. Doubt I'll 100% this though or even get close, will probably get very boring now.

 

[Ray Gin]

Yeah I found it boring after that.

 

[Adamm.]

+1 I took all outposts and done all the crafts etc finished the story and never put the disk back in after that.

Same as that Steve, once you get all the weapons and have all the money you need it does ditract from the game some what. I haven't played it in about three months and yet when I got it I couldn't put it down. Must pick it back up and finish everything off.

 

[Reev]

A patch was released about a week ago that enables you to reset the outposts IIRC.

 

[Ray Gin]

What a stupid idea.

 

[Reev]

I suppose it ekes out a few more hours of gameplay for those that aren't bored of the game yet.

 

[Ray Gin]

I just found, if you took one out, you took them all out. Obviously the later stages were harder, but the same idea.

 

[Reev]

Yeah, agree with you there. Planting a load of mines and watching the carnage unfold whilst chilling in a bush was fun though, can't do that with all the outposts taken out!

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Mines and c4 took up alot of my time for a while, plant a mine and go do something else, 5 minutes later get a triple kill lol.

 

[RSteve]

Master difficulty has also added IIRC.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

What a stupid idea.

+1

 

[Eddie.]

So you can download an option to reset all the outposts? That's awesome IMO.

Keeps the game interesting for a bit.

I agree. Taking the outposts was the best part of the game IMO.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

I might reset the outposts so I can get a few more trophies. Need to get a kill from a parachute/zipline/glider and 50 kills with flame thrower.

Spent a lot of yesterday doing some hunting challenges and crafting my final pouches. Got a load of Relics and letters to fin yet. Dont think its worth much as a trade in so I'll keep plodding on until I get really bored.

 

[Eddie.]

I agree. Taking the outposts was the best part of the game IMO.

Yeah, I cleared the first island and then started doing the missions, they're boring as hell as I've removed all the enemies!

I'd happily go round retaking outposts in various different ways. Especially now I've got all the guns I want.

March in, shoot at everything, wait for re-enforcements. Shoot at everything. Rinse. Repeat.

 

[Snakey]

Yeah I took all the outposts and Ariels from the first Island... Got bored of the main story and never made it to the second island!

 

[Wilkeh]

This is current £16 on Steam. Worth the purchase then?

 

[Snakey]

Definitely, personally the main story isn't all that but you'll for sure put the hours in with the rest of the game.

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

You can spend hours just stealth killing people. Its still a fun game and the new difficulty setting sounds like a good challenge.

 

[Reev]

Easily worth £16.

 

[Rubicon_]

Agree with the outpost reset, best bit of the game was planning different ways to take them!

I just wish you could do them two player, local or not.

I'm going to fire this up again tonight and give it a go though

 

[Silent_Scone]

Surprised peeps are still playing this

Total, probably the games biggest downfall.

 

[Munson]

Played a couple of hours of this on PC. On ultra settings it looks pretty amazing in places, and runs smooth as you like on my rig so I'm happy on that score. 120hz 27" FTW also.

The game itself seems a bit overwhelming. I feel as though it's forcing me to learn things before I'm ready, and I especially don't like the way it keeps interrupting me and pointing away from the action and into a menu so I can make a grenade belt or something. Still, once I get over this stage, I think it's gonna be really good.

what monitor you got? I got a 27" but only 60hz
Still a beautiful game!

Its a good game for sure, as you said some of the graphics are amazing but some of the distant texture mapping in places is a bit poor. I have spent a load of time going round photographing the island whilst on missions etc.

 

[Munson]

Monitor is a Samsung 950 3D jobbie.

 

[Munson]

Wow. Fantastic game.

It takes the best bits from the previous two, and seems to have none of the downsides from either. It really is impressive how good video games can be these days. I think many people fail to appreciate it, as it's incremental, but when you think about it, it's really quite cool how the craft is evolving. Of course, budgets now are massive, but to actually make this stuff happen in software is a whole lot more special than just thinking about it.

I can't remember the last shooter I played that gave the player so much freedom, but yet still managed to always have a real goal at any given time. Proper impressed with this. Kudos to everyone involved.

 

[16v_er]

pretty good, i think my ps3 is broke? When spinning/running round the graphics are really jerky? is this just my tv/ps3? i put my tv on game mode but this makes the graphics more ps2 style?

 

[Hixle]

s**t. Got. Real.



Drugs are good, m'kay.
