What? Nobody, including a left-handed player has to use the numpad anyway. There is absolutely no reason on earth why you would want to use the numpad.

What do you think of the game?

What a retarded statement. I want to use the numpad because all the keys are close by and evenly spaced. Not to mention I don't want half the keyboard hanging off the right edge of the desk. If I want to used the numpad they can sodding well make it work. This is never a problem with other games.
 
Has anyone else experienced lots of lag (visually) in the multiplayer?

I'm pretty much running the game maxed on single player without a problem. As soon as I switch to multiplayer the lag is horrific, to the point where it hurts my eyes. I have a GTX 670 for reference.
 
Having some fun with this so far

Anyone find this game to be a miss mash of Assassins Creed [ Radio Towers and take downs ] / Just Cause its a good mix :)
 
known issue mate game needs patching.

You forgot the Hang-gliders as well. There are lots of similarities with Assassin's Creed. The map for a start is pretty much just taken straight from it.
 
I'm enjoying it & it runs very well on mostly highest settings, FC2 had hardly any animals but this game more than makes up for it, so far been attacked by packs of rabid dogs, Kimodo Dragons that chased me down the road, a Leopard that killed me stone dead & some weird Emu type birds that almost killed me.
Good selection of docile animals also, saw some giant Galapogos Tortoises nearby but didn't feel the need to kill one :eek:

I'm left handed & have used the numpad keys without problem, the only key in the entire game that wouldn't work was exiting a vehicle driven by someone else, although it showed the key I normally use on screen it wouldn't let me out of the vehicle, I only got out by rapidly trying all of the keyboard until it worked, I had the same problem on FC2 as well
 
It feels sluggish to me, can't get into it really. Don't like the way it moves or feels so looks like few quid more down the drain. :(
 
Story missions seem to be getting a bit better, I mean not totally linear now. The last few I have done have had the options to stealth or go in guns blazing.....can't escape the ****ing QTEs though.

I'm also a leftie, and for as long as I can remember I've used the HOME key group for movement, with things like reload & zoom on the numpad, under my pinkie, backspace for something essential like interact, and my thumb hovering over the big, easily distinguished SHIFT/RETURN/CTRL keys. To me it's always been a wonderfully natural way to play.

There have been times when I've had to use WASD, but then I find it much harder to easily tell the difference between keys without looking.

So you're right. :-)

I'm still struggling to find the love for FC3 though. I am genuinely intrigued by the fact so many people can see beyond the "MASH this now!" mentality the game inflicts on us. The engine just never seems to want to get out of the way; it's always reminding me this is a game.

I wonder if part of it is to do with the fact I've never played any console games (apart from GT5). Perhaps anyone used to quicktime events, a hand-holding interface, and deliberately game-ified features like FC3's crafting and the tower unlocks will find it easier to see beyond that.

That would also explain the good reviews, because generally reviewers will have a much broader experience and be accustomed to the full range of gameplay tools developers use. Personally though this is looking like another FC2... lots of potential, but lousy design decisions which get in my way too much.

Still, there are no malaria pills, so it's not all bad. Plus I didn't pay for it directly, so I can shelve it without buyer's remorse setting in. :-)

One thing I will say though is that if I stop thinking about this as FC3, and treat is as Just Cause 2.5 instead, it's easier to stomach. Dive in, mess things up, get bored, quit. Nice little time waster.
