Far Cry 3 Thread

Taken using the PNG format, again the quality will always be reduced when taking screenshots. Still looks much better on my screen, think this is just the sort of game that looks better with motion/videos rather than screenshots as well.

Guys - some help here.

For some reason I can't get the parachute to deply at all when using the wing suit.

It comes up saying press ALT - which is also what I use for crouching, but it simply won't deploy the chute. Any ideas??
 
Folks, is anyone having trouble with something that sounds a bit weird, walking across small step ups?. For example, approaching a wooden beach hut and there is a ramp or steps leading up to it. At the top of the ramp or on the last step up, sometimes I just can't budge and get past onto the floor in front of me by just pressing the forward key. Its as if he wont lift his feet up over the last few inches of step and I have to jump up and forwards to clear it?. This isn't too bad at ground level but I was finding last night that it was happening on the climb up radio towers which makes things quite tricky to say the least!!.

Kinda hard to describe, I'll take a screenshot or two. :)
 
The game itself is good, but I'm disappointed that it runs like an old woman's cankered arse. Crossfire yet again doesn't work properly (using beta drivers and caps2), vsync is totally out of the question and the game looks even worse than Farcry 2 for the performance I'm getting out of it. I'm running it on a single card and DX9 for now, but the way the game stutters and struggles is completely unacceptable.

It just seems that with every major new release I get more and more convinced that crossfire was a very bad idea.
 
Got this for Christmas, Just finished the story and done most of the blue side missions. Actually really enjoyed it, although I was running out of things to do and the death missions could be a little more in depth at times.

Still really good fun.
 
Awesome, the crop field mission is cool, get to set a load of weed fields on fire and the effects are immense, and it's playing a song by Skrillex too :cool:

Yeah I enjoyed that too. I love that song.

It went on a while though, my girlfriend commented on how it's lucky we like Skrillex, ha!

RE: SweetFX. The screenshots are nice, but I can't really spot that much difference if I'm honest. If you lose FPS as well then I'll give it a miss.
 
You mean the part where you aren't meant to protect the helicopter from getting hit by the RPG? :p

I kept waiting for the gun to centre so I could actually aim. Given that it stays off to the side and you just spray inaccurately you just have to assume you were never meant to stop him.
 
Trying to get the grenade takedown skill where you takedown an enemy like normal but set their grenade off and kick them away. If I follow the steps in the tutorial, when I press G to grab their grenade nothing happens.

It's more than likely been mentioned in here, But my god Multi player is unplayable. it's not the game play. Every match I get into I get host migration and then the server dies. So ******* annoying.
 
I'm very impressed by the performance of this game, I'm running everything on Very High settings, or their high equivalent where it's maxed, with Ambient Lighting (?) and Post FX turn down to medium, because the amount of Depth of Field and Motion blur on high settings is just stupid imo, and with V-Sync on is runs at constant 60fps, and without it 75-85. The lowest I've seen it drop is to 50's for a few seconds. I'm running a slightly OC 7850 and i5.
 
I've just completed the game and have to say that after the shaky start I really enjoyed it. I gave this game a massive slating after having played it for the first 5-6 hours and said I would give it around 60%, but once the story gets going it is actually very entertaining.

I'd say I'd probably give it 85% now and it's definitely worth trying out. Just don't bother with loot boxes etc, focus on the interesting bits and try a few different tactics to take outposts etc. The graphics are amazing in motion - screenshots really don't do it justice.

If you're struggling to get into it in the early stages, just persevere for a while, it gets much, much better. A massive improvement over FC2.

There are many things they could have done better, but overall very good game. Glad I played it.

EDIT: Low point of the game - making me listen to Skrillex at one particular point - Unforgiveable.
High point of the game - 3 man chained takedown with a 4th knife throw to finish. Very satisfying
