Ok, I'm just playing Far Cry for the first time now. Looks killer on my new WS, with everything cranked. No hardware issues at all - the game runs perfectly.

But...this fooker is hard!! :shock: :evil:

I'm playing at the 'Challenging' level and it's getting a little annoying. I sometimes have to play a section dozens of times over to get past. Even if I set some parts to 'Easy'. it's anything but...

I can't imagine playing at the highest setting - I'd love to see the person who can. Without reloading each level dozens of times.

So is this game mental or is it just me??

The checkpoint system isnt the best. There is a wayt to enable quicksaves, dont remember it off the top of my head though.
Even an the easiest level its hard! Wait till you get to the volcano level!

Yeah, I didn't find it all that challenging... until the Volcano level. Oh do I hate that level :P.

All I can say - for me - even at the easiest setting :shock: - thank god for cheats :lol:

the bit where u got 10 ammo in a m4 and had to get across. That was INSANE!!!!!!!!

As soon as Trigens appeared, I started sucking at Far Cry.

I was enjoying the outdoors - I didn't want a semi-Doom 3 clone! ;)

Doesn't a game have to come after to be a clone :wink:?

Yeah.

I can't remember. All I can remember is that I played the lab sections of Far Cry and Doom 3 around the same time. (Far Cry brought my PC at the time to its knees, so I didn't play it too much until I got a better setup...)

Yeah, Far Cry was February/March and Doom 3 was August.

Agree'd, the outdoors were the best part of Far Cry - the whole "genetically modified things" ruined it for me, i was quite enjoying shooting real people then they decided to try and make it "scary" and it just ruined it - i hope crysis will stick to something a little more entertaining.
