http://far-cry.ubi.com/en-gb/home/ Are we looking forward to this? I hated FarCry 2 and could not finish it because of a bug that would not let me out of the jail at the end but I really had to push myself to even get that far. As for FarCry 3 one of the few games I only played once, normally I play through a second time almost immediately so that must mean I was not overly impressed. And then there was FarCry 1 which was a great game and one that I must replay.
I loved Far Cry 2, thought it was a very atmospheric mix of action, stealth & overall fun. I encountered the same bug a bit earlier in the game (about 80% complete), but still played it through 3 times up until that point. Hated Far Cry 3 with a passion though. Found it dull, soulless and very cookie-cutter. The game played itself at times and it bored me very quickly. Hoping Far Cry 4 is a return to the more grittier, challenging, less gimmicky approach. Have to say from the screenshots I think it looks a bit pap and as if it's gonna walk a more FC3 path.
Yeah, big shame if it is like 3. 2 layed the foundations of a potentially classic franchise. Instead I think we'll end up seeing it continue down the mass-produced-crap path too.
I can't relate to be honest, I found FC3 one of the best games of its year. But each to his own, I suppose. FC4, however, does look too similar to its predecessor, to the point of almost looking like an expansion pack. This kind of one-year-later sequel production is what put me off the Assassin's Creed franchise, it feels forced and unoriginal. Could still be a great game, though, its formula doesn't condemn it from the off.
Number 2 was irritating because every dam mission was 10 miles apart and you had to drive there for ages but I liked the game nonetheless.
I liked 1, 2 and 3. 2 certainly had it's problems, but it didn't stop me playing it, although I'm not sure if I ever finished it, maybe I'll go back to it again soon. 1 was great, although I can't remember it too well now as it was so long ago that I played it, . 3 I thought was really good, open world worked well and you weren't getting shot at every 10yds. The hunting added a bit of a distraction, although it was rather easy and I'd made almost everything before reaching 50%. Sure it was a bit "hand holding", but I occasionally like to play a game that doesn't ask too much but still allows you to have a bit of fun. From the trailer, 4 would look to me to just be 3 set in a different location with a few names changed, hopefully there's more to it than that. I'll probably get it as long as it's not another bugfest, but not at £50, £25-30 I might pay if it's good, otherwise I'll just wait till it's on sale on steam or origin and get it for £10ish.
Did anyone get this then? I 've just got it and I am really enjoying it. I never played the first two, but I did play farcry 3 and really enjoyed it. So far I only h ave good things to day about the 4th one!
I never liked 2 or 3 but loved 1, I just couldn't be bothered with the mission type way they were heading, give me the first game any day of the week. If only the games were not so pretty I wouldn't even be interested in this one.
I liked 1 and 3. 4th one is also nice, like you said, graphics are awesome, even if missions aren't made same way like first part. I like your location - Sunny Scotland - so which part is that?
I'm in fife mate, the strange thing is that it is actually sunny today.......frosty but sunny I'm not sure which part is Sin City though lol.
Glasgow Sorry for a late reply Well, I got back to this game. I really like the way they designed the area - all the hills, mountains, trees - it all looks so nice and realistically. I'm slowly uncovering the area by taking over radio towers. Most of the time I spend on hunting and upgrading my stuff. Cleared one fortress, a lot of fun when reinforcement arrive, all the choppers chasing me - fun! I love those wee buzzers - pity they don't respawn straight away, or disappear when left somewhere. I noticed that sometimes even when I leave one next to me and go hunting, when come back, it's gone. I need to learn the spots where they spawn when I start the game again. Best transport in the game - love to shoot baddies from the air with sidearm (grenade launcher)
