Critter Crunch (was on sale on Steam for $1.75)
Seriously? All the promotional stuff I've seen just reeks of terrible character writing.
We'll see once Far Cry 3 is on a sub-$10 sale.
Dude, doing a big mistake... far cry 3 is in my opinion the best game of 2012... most fun open world this year by soooooo far its not even funny! Type of fun like just cause 2... you can just wonder around and don't give a fff about the story of plot... just roam around the island!

ummm...so like the last Far Cry game then?

Nah, last far crime was pretty crap. Hated that game. This is on another level. Its like assassin creed 1 versus assassin creed 3. Ubi seems to build tech demo games for 1 or 2 iterations and then finally ships what should of been the initial product...
Think of playing the way you really want too... gunz blazing, extra stealth or even my favorite: take a vantage point and snipe the base out! Anyway my personal favorite of 2012... only game that made me play 8 hours straight this year anyway lol!
Yeah, but I get easily tired by doing random non-important stuff in open-world games (I want some meaning to my actions) and I get offended when characters say stupid shit. Plus I simply don't have a lot of money to fork over $50 for another shooter. Ain't going to happen for a long time.
If you write Capybara's representative on GAF and tell them you have bought Critter Crunch, he/she will give you an extra key!

I would pay good money for a game called Far Crime.
You ... hate Far Cry 2 and think that Assassin's Creed 3 is better than 2?
Well, now I know that my tastes do not even closely align with yours. Shame, really.
I adored JC2 and Far Cry 3 is definitely among my top 5 most disappointing games this year. I'm treading lightly so I don't come across as being on some kind of crusade against the game but if you didn't like FC2 at all don't expect FC3 to rock your world.

Yeah by far, it happens no worries. Plenty of different tastes around. But yeah hated far cry 2 and loved assassins creed 3 over the second.

I really didn't like FC2 but somehow I love FC3. Some about the game just seems immensely better than 2... then maybe its just me. Anyway all tastes in nature! But yeah that character gets on my nerves big time in FC3 hehe

But Skyrim is a good game.

I agree with you, but aesthetics, mods, and atmosphere motivate me, my man. I'm not playing Skyrim for the gameplay.
This may be a bit of an exaggeration, but I think using the phrase "good story" in concert with a description of any major release in the past five years is a bit of a hard sell. So long as you have to build the story around the mechanics (which most, if not all, of these games do), you're gonna get ME levels of "storytelling."
But this is simply the opinion of someone who isn't a child.
Also, people were actually considering Far Cry 3 for it's plot? That first trailer with crazy man was so over the top it wasn't even funny.

We are already way off-topic and it has been argued ad naseum in other threads dedicated to what you are talking about, but I think you are misunderstanding what people have been debating in regards to FC3.
Far Cry 3 doesn't have a story,the script fits on a napkin.

Did you buy the game? I'm so sorry you didn't wait if you did.
Don't worry Corky, we still love you bro.

High resolutions don't make pre-rendered cut-scenes (or crappy DOF) any better.

It's clearly the subpar DOF, not pre-rendered video.

Yeah I haven't played the LEGO games in a while... so I couldn't tell if is was macro-blocking in compressed video or just really bad edge detection in the DOF solution.
Do they all run on the same Engine? Has that LEGO Engine seen any improvements over time that are visible in the latest games? Because I don't remember that DOF stuff in the original trilogy games when I played through them.

Far Cry 3's fun for people like me that love to dick around and not play the main campaign for a month. It's too hand-holdy, and too easy overall (if I could turn off the HUD, I'd like it even more), but I wasn't expecting it to be the best game of this year or anything. I can't say the same for other beloved open-world games like Just Cause 2, which I think is a beautiful game, but I was terribly bored in about half an hour with it.

They have made improvements to the engine and the DOF can be turned off specifically. It has always looked fairly ghetto.

Superman and FPS mod saved JC2 for me.

there is no video in any lego games they all are real time rendering.. sw3 and potc have got same crappy dof.. they have clearly improved for their latest lotr..

Well it's a relief to know it's been fixed. and that it can be turned off. Thanks.
Didn't like FC2, just thought it was super boring and a lot of things about it annoyed me. FC3 has me hooked, spent at least 6 hours in it the other day. I think it's the change of setting.

legacyzero, how do you get that "crisp" IQ in your FC3 images?

downsampling, there is a good guide written by uh gohan in the pc performance thread

I finally grew the testes to try downsampling.
My actual monitor native res is 1600x900, but I'm actually running the game in 2048x1152 (It'd be higher if my PC would actually let me go higher.)
It looks clean, and awesome. But when I take a snapshot, it actually takes the pic at the higher res, then I have to resize the image manually to the 1600x900 res.

Yep pretty much it, it doesn't have the destruction crysis had but the graphics are starting to look pretty tight
! And yeah there is a long mission line that is just like uncharted lolDarkoMaledictus
Tier Whore
Pretty much the same, this game reminds me of Crysis open world and graphics without the crappy nano suit and the horrible aliens! I'm sold!
Nothing that keeps them from respawning, but I think it was this mod that made the game bearable for me:
