Are sharks the largest marine animal in the game? It would be pretty cool to see gargantuan sea creatures - like a whale... or a whale shark.

Thiss will be fun when it it hits the bargain bin

BladeStrike1234 148 pts

 sorin_ro Oh you've played it? Cool......

ElectronReviews 5 pts

 sorin_ro Far Cry 2 is not a disappointment.

sorin_ro 16 pts

 ElectronReviews it was for me. first Far Cry was much better

ElectronReviews 5 pts

 sorin_ro Oh, you're absolutely right! Far Cry was a hundred times better. But, still Far Cry 2 deserves more positive reviews as It has right now.

Sarijon 27 pts

Hey Guys you didn't answer the one important question that also plagued FC2 and that was the Save Game options - having to locate/travel/capture a hut just to save was, although enjoyable, still a pain because it made it very limited option to save the game.

ZOD777 649 pts

 Sarijon PC didn't have that issue.  Hitting F5 gives you quick saves no matter where you are, but I can see how that can become problematic to have to unlock save points more or less.

PinchySkree 99 pts

 ZOD777  Sarijon Except there is no quick save - it creates an entirely new save increasing the initial load time of the load menu. Using quick load simply loads the last save done, there was never a proper quicksave system even though they have existed since November 14, 2004 (Half Life 2)

ZOD777 649 pts

 PinchySkree  Sarijon It didn't take that long to load unless you have like 50 of them.  From what I recall, there was only one quicksave slot (per character), and all of the others (blue box), or after sleep and fast travel asked you which slot you wanted to save (new/overwrite).

ZOD777 649 pts

 PinchySkree  Nope, you are right.  Just launched the game and tried it.  It does create a new save for each quicksave.  I do recall having to go and delete what seemed like 80 saves when the refresh list got slow.

PinchySkree 99 pts

 ZOD777 Really bad work for 2008, hope they improve this aspect at least. I think it was just ported in afterwards because consoles have no quicksave.

franci17 21 pts

 PinchySkree  ZOD777  Sarijon

 Quicksave system?, they have existed since 1999 Half Life 1

Sarijon 27 pts

 franci17  PinchySkree  ZOD777 My point exactly!

FC2 (PS3) as I recall did not have a quick save option, you had to hunt down 'huts' in order to save - meaning long periods without opportunities to save game, if you died then you lost all the progress you'd made since the last 'hut' save. I'm hoping that FC3 has a quick save option!!! .......... oh and that's its a bloody good game!

The blonde / ginger presenter is annoying.

 

Personally i'm losing interest in this game.

ElectronReviews 5 pts

 davedrastic I agree. But I cant lose interest of a game from a single person! What about you?

davedrastic 98 pts

 ElectronReviews Oh no, perhaps you've misunderstood. I'm not suggesting that I'm losing interest because of the annoying presenter, although he made the article difficult to watch.

 

I'm just saying that i'm losing interest in the game as an additional, but entirely seperate comment  to the one about the annoying presenter.

 

I was very interested in this game. I never played Far Cry 1 but to me it looks really good, and I've only just started dabbling with Far Cry 2. It looked like Ubisoft (there's not a specific development team?) has got the gameplay sussed and that this could be great fun, but a different flavour to most other FPSs.

 

But the need to hunt doesnt strike me as fun. The get eaten by sharks doesnt strike me as fun.

 

I think Black Ops 2 has taken my interest for now, although I think that will be largely derivative of previous CoDs, naturally.

 

I think perhaps its hard to get excited for games now when they funamentally look and play like dozens of games that we've played before.

I wanted to buy this game and then I saw a shark in the sea, dmn

I think I just had a flashback... I'm in with this, gotta be good value with the psychos & trippy shit.

dallasanderson1 23 pts

that blonde guy looks very familiar

PinchySkree 99 pts

Repetitive unimaginative missions, meh.

 

Saints Row the Third has set the standard, anything less than coop campaign is a step back.

 

He doesn't know if a red dot sight, a scope or extended magazines will affect anything, why are these guys answering questions for this game?

 

 

Sarijon 27 pts

 PinchySkree Saints Row is just annoying (respawning) enemy that just pile up on top of you and themselves until you have killed the games quota to pass the mission - particularly towards the end of the game - I was glad when it had finished!

PinchySkree 99 pts

 Sarijon Yeah it's best they could do when the game has to conform to console standards. It's about tiem the open worlded GTA inspired games put coop campaign and sandbox in as standard.

tightwad34 522 pts

How do you guys know this better than anyone else, except the people who made the game?

buccomatic 1747 pts

 tightwad34 they might be already playing it, i think they get the games early (before release) to do the review.

 

maybe.

tightwad34 522 pts

 buccomatic

 Yeah, I thought of that, but did they say they were? I don't know because I didn't sit through the whoe video.

jhonel83 70 pts

 tightwad34

They did say they got to play it for 3-4 hours

Sarijon 27 pts

 jhonel83  tightwad34 they probally went to the studio for a session of a couple of hours. I don't think they've been getting the games to review as they're reviews of late have been right on the day of release!!

buccomatic 1747 pts

2 questions:

 

1. how long is farcry 3?

 

2. will farcry 3 have microtransactions like assassins creed III had?

 

buccomatic 1747 pts

lmao! @ 3:50 question and answers/comments lol!

 

great video, love it!

Dark_December 62 pts

Great game by the way it looks so far. That being said, I'd like it better if Maxwell didn't feel he has to show us his mummer's skills. It gets painful.

jhonel83 70 pts

 Dark_December

 What's a mummer? :)

the1four 6 pts

 jhonel83  Dark_December yeah what is a mummer ?

 

Dark_December 62 pts

 the1four  jhonel83 A mummer's a mime, but the old kind, more like a fool. I've been reading A Game of Thrones lately, maybe I'm way too much into it! :)
