Is Far Cry any good?
>>
>>12144783
Eh....It's not great. I prefer the Xbox game.
>>
>>12144783
Yeah its pretty good
>>
it insists upon itself
>>
>>12144783
The checkpoint save system is bad. Other than that, it's alright.
>>
>>12144797
I can't fathom why a PC game, let alone a PC exclusive would use checkpoints instead of normal saving.

I did a playthrough last week, because I never got to finish it back in the day. It was one of the top 3 FPS games of 2004, the others being HL2 and Doom 3.
It has a ton of soul to me for that reason as well as the graphics with the trophical islands and water animation.
Some parts were amazing, like the early parts before the arrival of the mutant enemies. It felt more like Doom/Quake after that. I played on the highest difficulty and it was insanely hard too, the AI is just poorly-optimized.
I would have liked if this game was more of a open-world island FPS, like Crysis. Where you have to island-hop with boats and vehicles, enjoying the tropic scenery and fighting against mercenaries.

It's called building tension.
>>
>>12144797
You can save with a console command.
>>
>>12144824
Game was overall okay btw. HL2 and Doom 3 are better.
>>
>>12144835
Doom 3 was the disappointment of the year.
>>
YOUR ASS IS GRASS
>>
>>12144783
it's ok, at least until mutants start showing up
>>
>>12144783
Tech demo just like Half life 2. I don't recommend.

Boring guns, repetitive and empty levels, same enemies over and over again, dumb plot, obnoxious characters.
On top of this, the AI is broken and cheat a lot.

the game was really magical the first time I played, but when the mutants showed up I had to force myself to keep playing
ended up never beating the game cus I got stuck in some warehouse, not sure if I was just dumb or got softlocked somehow
didn't even bother looking up the solution on gamefaqs or anything, was already bored of the game
if you ignore the mutant part the start of the game is 10/10 though

Farcry? Yeah, a far cry from a good game.
What were they thinking?
>>
>>12144970

Bullshit.

is good game OP have a fun

>>12144783
Remember that you can drop the pistol and knife and replace them with whatever weapons, you have 4 weapon slots in total.

>>12144783
>enemy with assault rifle snipes you from 2 islands away
>9001 mutants with dual rocket launchers that take a million shots to kill
It had a lot of problems.

>>12144783
the beginning is

>mutants with dual rocket launchers that take a million shots to kill
To be fair: they are mutants.
>>
>>12144783
it was good at making you cry about your PC specs

Instincts or evolution?

Based

It's kino throughout.
PROTIP: When you get dropped from the Helicopter, don't get the M4. It's a trap.

>>12145739
Instincts, I haven't played Evolution yet.
>>
>>12145083
My thoughts exactly.
Enemies see you from across the jungle behind 50 million bushes and trees. Idiotic garbage.
Far Cry 2 is better.
>>
>>12144783
It was okay up until the mutants started mucking about in the story. Just play on the easiest difficulty.
>>
>>12144783
The greatest game of its year of release

Yes, but it has its own problems. Like the endlessly respawning enemies making clearing checkpoints pretty much pointless.
>>
>>12144783
Better than Gaylo
>>
No, the first game is pretty vanilla and I didn't understand what was so special. Same with Unreal.
>>
>>12144783
I started playing it again a few weeks ago and it's alright. I forgot how there are certain points where you will almost unavoidably die without prior knowledge of what's about to happen though.

Doom 3 was dogshit, m8. It would have been ok as a game on its own right, I guess, but a complete disappointment as a sequel to Doom/Doom II
