ProXimity Posted March 24, 2004 Report Posted March 24, 2004 Anyone else pick this up?!? OMG.. Yeah, FPS shooter, like many others, however, 'eye-candy' has been re-defined. The detail is really something else. I shot up some guys in a boat, they fell in the water and I could see there blood clouding the water.. Was trying to figure out during install why it spans 5 CDs?!? Gotta be the textures. They used photos for all the vegetation. Okay, there is a Binky movie too.. hehe Kinda feels like being in that movie 'WestWorld,' except its 'TropicalWorld.' Recommened for those days when commanding has yer brain tired. ProX
Kartoffel Posted March 25, 2004 Report Posted March 25, 2004 What about the story, or whatever else there is, besides flashy graphics? BTW, UT2k4 is 6 CDs - so Farcry's not quite the biggest game out there.
Bandus Posted March 25, 2004 Report Posted March 25, 2004 I heard the story was really first rate. As soon as I get my new Dell in I plan on picking this game up. Gamespot says it may be the best FPS games ever. I don't think the demo really does the game justice though.
Andergum Posted March 25, 2004 Report Posted March 25, 2004 I really like the intro. Its almost movie quality in many ways and the in game visuals are stunning to say the least. The best I've seen in a first person shooter so far. The AI needs quite a bit of work but it looks to be a fun romp on a beautifuly rendered island. If only I could stop playing UT2004 -Onslaught.
LostInSpace Posted March 25, 2004 Report Posted March 25, 2004 quote:Originally posted by ProXimity: Anyone else pick this up?!? Haven't picked it up yet but have played the demo. I really like the gameplay as well as the eye candy. I played the demo for hours just going back and doing things differently.
Supreme Cmdr Posted March 25, 2004 Report Posted March 25, 2004 Yeah I got this in too and have yet to install it. Between UT2004 Onslaught and BF:V, not sure where I'm going to find time to play this. I played the demo and it was quite good. The AI cheats. 'nuff said.
ProXimity Posted March 25, 2004 Author Report Posted March 25, 2004 quote:The AI cheats. 'nuff said. [/QB]Yeah, I tend to agree w/ that to a degree. I was prone behind some rocks. Once 'they' heard me they would say, "did you see that" every time I made the slightest move (note: behind rocks.) Another incident w/ the AI that either makes the player think its REALLY smart, or cheating is how the mercs will position themselves in the brush all around you, if you don't have them tagged w/ the crytek binoculars. I was driving along and they didn't start firing away until they had a 5 o'clk and 11 o'clk positions on me. ProX

Spindoktor Posted March 25, 2004 Report Posted March 25, 2004 Yeah, the AI has genetically improved hearing. Maybe thats part of the story? There's something going on with a genetic scientist right? Anyway, the key is to move after shooting. Stay put and your toast. Best FPS since Half Life. The gameplay is THAT good IMO. Its not just eye candy.
Guest Fox__Trot Posted March 28, 2004 Report Posted March 28, 2004 Um guys just crank up the speakers Besides BF has never intrested me so I went ahead and bought Far Cry ... ill go get it tommorow and file a complete review in my rubbish fourm tommorow
Cougar_DK Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 Yes I will join the ranks of FarCry players. Its a very intense game with some very nice graphics. Reminds me a lot of the good old' HL days. Until now a really good SP game with a lot of actions and a very exciting story. Gets pretty spooky...
Grizzle Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 Played it for a few levels until the wow factor wore off. Now it's just another FPS (albeit a gorgeous one), uninstalling as I type this. REALLY disappointed in the theme, but as far as that goes it is the cream of the crop at the moment. I guess I'm just tired of the same old FPS style gameplay sitting behind a new paint job.
Guest Fox__Trot Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 Yeah i'm not playing it anymore the WOW factor really does ware off after the factory level ah well I dont like it I dont recomend it the demo makes it feel like a great game then it's just merely a good FPS damnit wheres my Total Anihalation 3
Eclipse Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 Ok dead thread necromancy warning (this piece of dark arts brought to you by your friendly neighborhood search button) I finally (two years late) managed to get around to getting this game. well being the glutton for torture I seem to be, I decided what the heck lets play on realistic with adaptive ai. so far not too bad of a game but my word some parts of this are just down insane. So far I'm about half way through and headshots are my friend. As far as gameplay goes its pretty good though I want to curse the developers of some of the control functionality and vehicle physics.
Kalshion Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 You mean like how a vehicle can be stuck into a tree for some unknown reason? That's happened, they should've fixed it but don't know it's possible they felt it wasn't serious of a bug.
Eclipse Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 not that... the vehicles just seem "floaty" like you can't get precise control of them and the turret operation is nearly impossible to accurately aim with. I find that it is better to just tear though at high speed and run over all you can than to try to shoot them or otherwise fight enemies while in a vehicle
