Which I would normally agree with, except there was no console command option for getting rid of the HUD in FC2

I was more or less implying that if it was in the debug, they probably wouldn't have noticed.

 

[Demon Ice]

Wow. Excited to pick this up when I get a chance. Shocked at that Eurogamer review. Glad this one seems to be correcting all the mistakes FC2 made.

I'm sure there will be mods to tone down the PC version's HUD popups.

 

[NBtoaster]

The PSM video shows some really great stuff, can't stop watching. The game has emus!

 

[Jac_Solar]

Wow, I was surprised to hear that the reviews for Far Cry 3 are out. But is there any word on the world size yet? As in, square miles, or "approximate" size compared to Skyrim/Far Cry 2, etc.

It's great that reviews are basically saying tha the actual game is awesome, so it'd be fantastic if the world was huge and filled with content/fun to explore.

 

[AgentOtaku]

All I give a shit about is Vsync for PS3 version at this point

PUULEEEAAAAAASSSSSSEE!!!!!!!!

=/

EDIT: NVM T__T

Far Cry 3 map editor allows for land sharks...

Ubisoft, you magnificent bastards.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Just found out that two player split-screen is in multiplayer and co-op, I really wasn't expecting it to be but I'm glad it is.

GOTY.

 

[AgentOtaku]

I'm watching the 45 minutes of PS3 footage posted earlier in the thread and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with it's performance. Yeah, it's got tearing, pop-in, and framerate dips, but at this point that's par for the course for a new open-world game running on six year-old hardware. Dragon's Dogma and AC3 both had those as well, and at this point I think expecting a flawless 30fps experience from a sandbox game is setting yourself up for disappointment.

True but Dragon's Dogma and ACIII have Vsync which goes A LOOOONG WAY in my book. I'll tolerate a lower avg fps if there's zero tearing

That being said, I made it through Alan Wake on 360 so I can make it through this =P

 

[Ceebs]

The Rock Paper Shotgun review has made this a day one (assuming my GPU is back by then)

Sounds like exactly what I wanted from the game.

[- J - D -]

Great reviews, are most of them (the non-platform exclusive mags) based on the pc version?

 

[-Stranger-]

I've been hyped for this for awhile, it's release has kind of snuck up on me.
I'm not sure I'll have enough money to get this next week!
I'm one of the few who actually enjoyed FarCry 2, It's good to see it's getting great reviews.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Wish I could get this on GMG. USA is excluded apparently. Boo.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Far Cry 3 map editor allows for land sharks...

Ubisoft, you magnificent bastards.

So can you make missions also or is it just map maker and than always death match/Team death match?

 

[GuessWho]

I don't know why but it feels like this is one of those games that people will shit on 2 days post launch.

And flying manta rays like Demon's Souls:

 

[Zeliard]

Need flying sharks or no buy

 

[FACE]

Finally, the land sharks from Armed and Dangerous return.

Can you shoot sharks out of your guns though?

 

[Fried Food]

Pretty crazy scores

 

[Cheesecakebobby]

Wow impressed. But do I go for 360 or PC if my laptop is only marginally better?

 

[SpaceHorror]

So can you make missions also or is it just map maker and than always death match/Team death match?

I don't know if you can actually design missions within it, but you can drop hostile AI enemies and wildlife into your map.

You can also drop friendly AI mercenaries. You can basically design your own sand box to screw around in.

 

[commissar]

Hmm.
Might pick it up next year, waiting to see how it'll perform at the lower end pc spec

 

[JumpJeff84]

Glad to see the buzz is good on this one. I'll get it on Steam day 1; by then I should be done with Hitman Absolution.

Holy shit that is awesome :O

maybe preorder now and try turning everything down....

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Finally watched all the video reviews..the game looks exceptional. Like GOTY exceptional.

And damn I wasn't expecting to buy another console game this whole year

 

[Raptor]

This is really cool stuff.

 

[Watevaman]

Buying this for PC as soon as finals are over. Man it just sounds like it's gonna be so awesome.

 

[TEH-CJ]

Damn, which console to play this on?

was farcry 2 better on xbox 360?

I'm really hyped for this.

 

[IOnEI Falcon]

Whaa! You can add AI to the maps now? You couldn't do that in FC2 right?

Yes, I can now recreate Jungle from GoldenEye 64!

 

[AgentOtaku]

Watching the OPM walkthrough and yeah, aside from the tearing (which may be exacerbated by the video capture kit), the performance is really solid. Also, SSAO is in and looks really nice!

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

Wow, I didn't expect these scores. Too bad there's no Giant Bomb QL probably for this entire week.

Where's Jeff? Brad? Vinny? No thanks.

Spoiler

actually thank you very much I appreciate it

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Reviews look pretty amazing. After Halo 4 and CoDBOII got harsh criticism, Far Cry 3 looks pretty legit.

Halo 4 got harsh criticism?

 

[RoboPlato]

Really glad I preordered this on Newegg for $45 now. I was considering cancelling to save some cash but this sounds really great. I just hope that Ubi's "OMG people love Vaas he's so brilliant" thing actually pans out since he doesn't seem that great from what I've seen. I'm also going to roll my eyes if you end up being him or something like that. Otherwise the gameplay looks really great. Far Cry 2 had some awesome ideas with really terrible execution but it sounds like they nailed this.

Pro und Contra

+ abwechslungsreiches Gameplay
+ innovative Mehrspieler-Modi
+ Map-Editor
+ sehr gute Sprecher

- katastrophale Framerate
- grobes Tearing
- starkes Kantenflimmern
- nicht Lippensynchron

Catastrophic frame rate, severe tearing, flickering edges, voice acting not lip synced (German dub): 8/10.

Not sure how you guys play games with so much screen tearing, it's nauseating.

 

[Amir0x]

Catastrophic frame rate, severe tearing, flickering edges, voice acting not lip synced (German dub): 8/10.

"Catastrophic Framerate" sounds like a framerate so bad it could end the world.

Thank you PC for bestowing upon us your superior values so we can skip this framerate problems if we so desire

That's consoles for you

45 min of PS3 footage. OPM calls it the best looking Open world game on the PS3. Hyped!

Please tell me that the tearing was made worse by the video. Everything else looks great but that much tearing gives me headaches.

Yes, Far Cry 2 was better on 360 for sure.

That was a few years ago though, so maybe Ubi have stepped up their game.

 

[Jac_Solar]

Whaa! You can add AI to the maps now? You couldn't do that in FC2 right?

Yes, I can now recreate Jungle from GoldenEye 64!

The extensive map editor, which allows for terrain deformation, the addition of wildlife (including sharks that swim on land, angry tigers), and custom-created objects, presents the chance to make something better.
