Sheaf Saint Posted 17 December, 2012 Share Posted 17 December, 2012 I was going to keep it on hold until I can upgrade my graphics card to one that will do it justice, but I couldn't help myself. What an awesome game. Ubisoft have combined all the best elements from the first two games and come up with something really special. There is much more of an ongoing story to it than the second one, but it still has the vast open landscape that you can go and explore and pick up little money-making missions here and there to distract you from the main storyline. Much smarter than your average FPS and the attention to detail is phenomenal. Highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it on DVD and it installed this uplay thing, which is basically Ubisoft's rip-off of Steam, to manage your game profiles etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdearlove Posted 18 December, 2012 Share Posted 18 December, 2012 Got it at the stupid price of £4.97 including FC1 and 2 from Gamestop - looks like a pricing error, but got the licence and downloading now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 18 December, 2012 Share Posted 18 December, 2012 Got it at the stupid price of £4.97 including FC1 and 2 from Gamestop - looks like a pricing error, but got the licence and downloading now. Still got to be an error, surely? They'll change that soon. I hated the second one, it was so unbelievably boring. Especially with the way the enemies respawned at every single checkpoint and if you lost your car you'd have to run for half an hour to find anything. This one is amazing however. Totally addicted. My only worry is that, despite being a good 20+ hours long, it won't last long enough for a weirdo like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdearlove Posted 18 December, 2012 Share Posted 18 December, 2012 Yep - it seems to have been an error - it is up at over £50 for the 3 + the extra DLC for FC3. The Gamestop PC application sucks - downloaded twice (9GB a time!) and both times it errored on install. Downloading now through uPlay as that seems to be the best alternative. At 71% so I may be able to try it out this afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Marco Posted 20 December, 2012 Share Posted 20 December, 2012 They are selling the 360 and ps3 versions for £23 at game today.

emerson massey Posted 20 December, 2012 Share Posted 20 December, 2012 Top, top game - GOTY for me, didnt think much would trump Xcom, but it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampersound Posted 10 January, 2013 Share Posted 10 January, 2013 I got this for Xmas and I purchased Xcom in the sales.... once I've put Far Cry 3 in my PS3.. I'm completely hooked... absolutely shat myself when I got attacked by a Croc the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdearlove Posted 11 January, 2013 Share Posted 11 January, 2013 Just finished the Story mode - took a blooming long time, but got there in the end. It is a really decent game - time to explore, then get on with the mission when you feel ready. The extra DLC adds a few missions, but they are pretty simple. I got it for next to nothing when GameStop had a pricing error - best £5 I have spent in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Jonny Posted 11 January, 2013 Share Posted 11 January, 2013 Got it on my PC the other day, got the PC hooked up to my new TV and playing with a X360 pad. It looks the dogs ******** in proper 1080p (something that you can't do on Xbox or PS3), a really beautiful game. Loving it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPTCount Posted 8 February, 2013 Share Posted 8 February, 2013 picked it up at the weekend in a deal and this game is amazing, so much better than far cry 2, basically call of duty meets lost some brilliant mechanics in it, loads of little references in it to popular culture too, just did the vice city styled burn the weed crop mission to the sound of 'make it bun dem' EPIC!

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 8 February, 2013 Share Posted 8 February, 2013 I started playing recently, and absolutely love it. Unfortunately I have been too busy travelling with work and seeing the Mrs to sit and have a proper session. Shame I'm crap at it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG Posted 3 May, 2013 Share Posted 3 May, 2013 Anyone playing Blood Dragon? Loving it at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CylonKing Posted 7 May, 2013 Share Posted 7 May, 2013 Not played any of the Far Cry series yet but they are on my list of games for the PS3 to try. Played the Blood Dragon demo yesterday and have t osay it took some getting used to, but once I got used to the controls, found it found it very good indeed. Will be adding that to my list of games to buy in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stthrobber Posted 22 June, 2013 Share Posted 22 June, 2013 I played the original Far Cry on a PC, thought it was brilliant, but didn't like Far Cry 2 so I was a bit dubious about this game. I actually don't think it's that great. The first hour of gameplay is constantly interrupted by 'tutorial' pop ups, wandering around looking for flower petals, climbing radio masts etc and all the time thinking 'wtf?' I've stuck with it, to hope it gets better. I'm on the prison break in mission next, but come on, in the previous sabotage mission, there's a tiger outside the camp that ignores the pirates but kept attacking me. I'm not saying its a bad game, but whereas I loved Skyrim and the first 2 Dead Space games, I don't think this has the same replayability factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
