Well i thought i would test out the my system in a 2 year old game
System
Intel Duo Core 2 3ghz
4gb Ram
Geforce Palit GTX 260 216
my first test was video settings, i found that the game was very buggy you would get a maximum of 30 mins gameplay before it shuts out of the game back to the desktop, this could be to either the CPU or a memory leak causing the game to run out of memory.
i first tested the game on Ultra High Settings, Maximum Resolution and AA x8, the game got as far to the loading screen then chucked me out, quite frustrating, so i tried a lower res which was 1024, i know pretty low, this is with ultra high settings and x2 AA, the gameplay was smooth and was able to play.
Gameplay : The gameplay was ok, but some things were frustrating.
. Checkpoints, why is it ubisoft thought it would be a good idea to have checkpoints restore after 5 mins, when i destroy a base it stays destroyed not respawn.
.Missions, again repetative, you always have to kill someone, i know that we all love chaos and destruction, however we want tactics aswell, like taking photos of a hidden base, or listening in on a conversation without getting spotted.
.I hated the fact that you go half way across the map to complete a mission then spend all your time in a bloody jeep to go back,and destroy the same checkpoints, why not just use the mobile phone to give your mission.
.Enemies, everyone hates you mmmm not a lot i can say about this really, but there are no civillians really, they could have changed this that when you go to a village ppl are trying to live everyday lives, but millitia are in hideouts ect... ,however i think that's too close the real situations.
.Enviroment, the detail of the map is fantastic a lot of effort was put into the detail of the game specially the affects, like the trees blowing in the wind, fires, physics of buildings.
.AI, this made me laugh, even if you were the quietest sniper in the world they would know exactly where you are, you can be half a mile away and they would be able to see you, cmon, also unless they have titanium armour i can see how they survive a bullet to the head
.
and the voice overs are not very good, they speak really quick and not very authentic.
.Weapons, then weapons are good but not great why.... because of one thing in particular, JAM! you buy a spanking new weapon and it gets jammed hahahahaa
, also the fact you can't upgrade your weapon like better scope, silencer, bigger magazine.
.Vehicles, okay this is not to bad you can drive, jeeps, cars, boats ect... eccept you have to repair gets annoying after a while.
Overall, a lot of things they need to look into before the release of Far Cry 3,im hoping they set the game back to the original, but with no respawning checkpoints, super strong enemies that can't die, Engine that's computer friendly with no bugs, also upgradable weapons, better missions, like spieing on hideouts, sneeking around, transporting goods ect.. where not everyone hates you.
i know this an old game, but im just hoping that Far Cry 3 is not a big flop as Far Cry 2 which has no connection to Far Cry. 6/10
