So... far cry 3.
Do they ever explain... how dude becomes super murder machine? Is it cuz of the tatoo or is there some training arc?

Can anyone tell me what minute to start watching from if I want to avoid all major plot points, including the intro? Cheers
Didn't you watch the QL. Jeff says they address it.
watch this too

Same. These quick looks always do that to me...

Yeah, same for me, though I have to finish far cry 2 first...

Yeah, it's straight outta Tron Legacy basically.
The villain looks pretty interesting, if not a bit too on the nose, the other dude that gives you the tattoo though looked like pretty average stuff to be honest. Along with that weird VO for the Gun Store lady I'm expecting the game itself to be wildly uneven in terms of quality. Looks pretty though.

Yep I need to get on with building a gaming PC for the living room.

I thought he said they don't... really. (some army brother or something). But jeff is only half way through.
Wait this game ain't out yet... nvm.
You might have misinterpreted what they said. The army brother is the guy in the quicklook you sneak with at the beginning. Jeff said they addressed his increased skills and such in a separate part of the video I believe.
Just know, it takes a hell of a computer to run FC3 like that.
Hahaha, those are the benchmarks for the game with no AA?
I hear that SSAO and DX11 put a huge hit on performance. Drivers should help as well.
Yeah, the same for me - I stopped caring about this game after mediocre e3 presentations and had no idea this is an open world game with assassin's creed influence. I'd probably have no idea if not for GB.
Jill booty?
I have an HD 7970 and those are abysmal frame rates. Bad optimization? Either way, I'll wait (for a better card, I guess).

That particular benchmark is mislabeled. I think that was the 4x MSAA benchmark. I'll check.
Also, the game is not nearly as demanding when you disable DX11 features. It's actually a good sign when a new game taxes existing high-end hardware, as long as, it scales well by disabling bells and whistles.
Edit:
Yes, that image is for 4x MSAA and Alpha to Coverage anti-aliasing enabled.

Very demanding either way with DX11 features enabled.
The specs in the video description are i7-2600k, 670, 16 gigs of RAM. Not especially high end, even if he's overclocking it.
What are you sporting, sir?

That's not top end but most certainly, very high end.

This was great. I really really the move to show off more PC content.
Much needed and showing both is a really really smart way to do it.
Enjoyed that a lot. FC3 sounds really good; am sure the devs know the characters are awful.
Its basically the start to a horror film so you don't feel bad as they all die horrendously
Right now a ~5 year old Mac Pro with a 5870. But if I were to build something it would probably be close to an i7-2600k, a single 670, and 8 gigs of RAM.
I would think that fairly recent video cards in SLI would be the barrier of entry to "high end", which is more than I want to do.

High-end is a relative term but I'll try a car analogy that will probably fall flat on its face because I don't know shit about cars.
Their system is like a Corvette.
A GTX 680 system would be like a Porsche 911.
An SLI GTX 680 system would be like some Lamborghini super car.
A QUAD SLI GTX 680 system would be like one of those custom made land speed record breaking cars they drive on salt flats.

Oh, thanks for posting the updated one.
VF2 has aged well, might buy it for nostalgia.
Might also buy Fighting Vipers, never played it, but it looks kinda cool, in a crazy sorta way.
Sonic the fighters still the worst thing ever.
lolwat. That's pretty high end.

What they showed of FarCry3 looked kind of fun. I mean, it looks like it could get really repetitive for me after a little while, but it still has enough random things to keep it interesting.
Vinny was cracking me up with his constant commands to kill everything.

Fry Cry 3 looking good.
So far I played like 10 hours of Far Cry 3 Sp and a couple of COOP missions and the game is just great. I did not expect it to be this good. Unlike Jeff though I don't think the game is as weird as he makes it out to be.
Where I do agree with Jeff is that our "heroes" are a bunch of rich douchebags. Seriously developers, pick a group of people that is more sympathetic.

It was a valid option in the first game. Not so much in the second.
