Far Cry 3

This pretty much sums up it's 80's tone and humour

2 tracks from the soundtrack, which is very 80's:

Meh. Seems a bit gimmicky.

Looks like a lot of fun to me. The gameplay in far cry 3 was excellent I thought, all the guns handled really well. I'll definitely be picking this up as long as its not crazy expensive.

I think I talked some shíte about Far Cry 3 but I've been playing it and I take it back for the most part. It's an excellent FPS. It's fun just to go around taking outposts and climbing towers, putting off the main story for hours in completion of that one goal. The southern island in particular offers quite a few sweet spots for sniping a whole camp. Always funny when the Rakyat roll up afterward and walk around going "This is all me" etc. Some of the most annoying friendly AI I've come across. It was funny when I sniped and rocketed an outpost, the Rakyat rolled up in their car through a big patch of burning grass and burned to death. The remaining Rakyat blamed it on me and started shooting and yelling traitor. Idiots. Any way I can join the pirate side?

^ Had something similar. Had mines all over the camp. One of the islanders walked into one. Suddenly all hell broke lose. What it's my fault the guy was an idiot?

I'm nearly finished the story (I think) and I have to say it's one of the most enjoyable FPS games I've ever played. I wasn't sure how they'd handle the boss scenes, but they were done brilliantly - at times it was like being in a movie. The graphics, story, music, sound fx, etc - all were superb. And as briany mentioned above, just walking around taking out outposts or hunting animals is great fun.

When you think of the amount of little quests and tasks around the world you realise how much work they put into the game. I know when I finish the story I'm still going to play it for a while and I've never done that with a game before. Top marks.

I just finished the game there - wow wow wow!! What a great ending to a great game. Genuinely spine-tingling conclusion to one of the most enjoyable and memorable games I've played since the original Half Life. 10/10

Heh no I'm the perennial nice guy in games and chose the good guy ending - I didn't like what the other ending was suggesting! I'll probably go back and try the other one though.

Is anyone getting the new DLC? Looks amazing to me - ZOMBIES!

I don't have a Windows machine so if I get this game I'll have to get it on either the 360 or PS3. Is there a consensus as to which is the better version?

Ran perfectly for me on the 360 and I've never heard any complaints about it.

Sorry all the criticism i had read was for the consoles vs PC, yeah dont think theres any major difference between the console versions though

Has anyone had any issues with this game loading on the PS3? When I start it up it takes up to 6 minutes to finally load to the start screen. And sometimes it never gets that far and I have to quit to the XMB.

I had that problem on Xbox when I first got the game at Xmas, it was because Ubisoft servers were overloaded. Try sign out of PSN and try it, if that works then it's a server problem. If not, I've no idea.

Just finished it last night. Only problem I had on the PS3 was that once or twice when there was a couple of vehicles in motion and Jason was on the phone at the same time it froze for a couple of seconds. Only bug I encountered was when a guy stepped on a mine and it stuck him to the side of a building. Looked cool though

Really enjoyed it for the most part. Stealth and assault both worked really well and I loved the takedowns. Rigging a whole outpost with a lot of C4 and mines and then watching the carnage ensue was a lot of fun too.

Found the gameplay got a little repetitive toward the end though but that might be cause I had maxed XP

before I found Riley.

Won't go back to finish all the side quests.

Best thing about the game for me though was Vaas, Hoyt and Sam. Three excellent characters imo. Enjoyed all the scenes with them.

Sam in the jeep on the fifty cal was funny as and the scene where Hoyt stabs him really shocked me. And Vaas was just excellent from the opening scene.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

am I the only person who far preferred hoyt to vaas?

that scene where he

stabs the fella and then screams something like " do you think I'm ****ing stupid" like a ****ing maniac

loved it more than anything vaas did

Wossack

Have I ever told you the definition of insanity?


Prefering Hoyt over Vaas..



j/k! hoyt certainly did have that real dark malevolence down alright

SuprSi

I thought both characters were superb and really made the story work as you didn't know what they were going to do next. They were animated and acted really well too.
