went out and bought it today, been playing for half an hour, groundbreakingly brilliant, runs far better than the demo, a must buy, anyone else played it yet ???

I'd be interested to hear what you find so good about it?.. (graphics excluded).

Specifics like: gameplay, AI, puzzles, difficulty.. that sort of thing

not been playing it long but already hooked, the game physics are amazing, bodies falling off the aircraft carrier and into the sea (really cool ragdoll physics), shooting down the helicopters and looking over the side to see the charred mess sunk to the bottom of the sea,

not really come up against any puzzles, its more of a stealth shooter (at the mo anyway), if the mercs see you they will hunt you down, flank you, there are points where you hear one of them shouting orders (the leader obviously) and if you kill him the rest are at sixes and sevens sometimes running off to regroup, started playing it on normal but went to one harder as it did seem a little easy but now the mercs are cut throat, working in teams

,

ok so u said excluding graphics but come on, this is the best looking game i have ever seen i have everything set on 'very high' 1024x768x32 resolution, 2x anti aliasing and 8x anisotropic filtering and it still runs very nice, never dropping below 30fps (just makes me realise how badly coded halo was for pc as it runs like sh*te and doesn't look nearly as good)
, i realise that graphics do not make a great game but i must admit it feels a whole lot better killing someone when they look so cool and when you shoot them they slump against the wall

was waiting for hl2 myself, but this is one you have got to buy, it will ease the pain of waiting and for 24.99 its a bargain it just makes me realise how good hl2 is going to be

Hmm, its pretty good, gfx are amazing, but the shooting feels a little off. Granted when you do hit something its pretty cool.

I hate how you can unload a clip into someone and they still come at you though. Headshots do the trick though.

And BTW when you get to the "mutuants" there were two in a cage and each one took 7 shots from an M16 at close range in the head before it fell, sorry but thats a joke.

how do u know how many shots it takes to kill a mutant, have u killed one in real life and thats where u're going wrong their brains are actually in their ankles

Like i said i grabbed a couple and threw them in a cage then shot them 1 bullet at a time until they died. Now you know how to take out your neighborhood mutant.

Cheaper than anti-mutuant spray and much more entertaining.

Far Cry is simply a joy, only played the two demo level's though...

Pre-ordered the full game about a month ago and it never came today

well looking at your system specs your in for a real treat, the full version runs much smoother than the demo

Aye, there not too shabby

Demo ran quite reasonable, but glad to hear they squeezed in some more tweaks before it went gold. Gonna get another GB of RAM soon as well to smooth things over.

I should have mine tomorrow. was posted wednesday. Demo is great. really worth getting. Multiplayer is also quite good. I was one of the beta testers.Don't wait for half life get this now. HL" won't be available till summer at least.

SOSAGES · 27-03-2004, 14:34

found it looks pretty but to easy - also moving the gun while aimed is too slow ..

some nice ideas but not great

Stephen · 27-03-2004, 16:42

Its not that easy at all if you play on the higher difficulty settings. The AI is extremly good, at hunting you down and flanking you and running and getting help. makes the game a lot more challenging. Also most levels have more than one way of getting to the end of the levels.
