Far Cry is a truly awesome game in single player mode. From what I hear, multiplayer isn't as good. $20 would be a good price in the states, in Canada it's even better. You only switch the discs one time - when installing. GTA: San Andreas was awesome.

Thanks for the reply RBachman.

And i am from Canada so that $20 is Canadian.

I have read some good reviews but some say the game sucks, has anyone else played FAR CRY?

I am planing to get GTA vice and San An... after the price goes down a bit.

Any other games you guys would recommend, i love DIABLO2 that game is wicked still is even till this day, well for me at least.

Also i have an xbox any games that you would recommend for that, i like fighting, racing,..

Which would you say is better :

Burnout 3: Takedown (XBOX) (Yes i know that Burnout Revenge is the latest from the burnout series)

Those who say "Far Cry sucks" don't know what they are talking about :) Far Cry is one of the best FPS games ever made. The replay value is also great. You actually want to play it through many times. I'm currently finishing my 3rd play-through.

1. Yes, very good game.

2. Looks good

3. Five disks? Farcry only comes in DVD format which is 1 disc.

4. Quake 4 - Worth the money, not fantastic though.
Call of Duty 2
FEAR - Needs a decent system though.

1. Agreed

2. Excellent price

3. The world extends outside that little island you call home, Tea-And-Crumpets-Boy - and the rest of it got the 5-CD version

4. HL2, Riddick, FEAR, Painkiller, Burnout 3 (Xbox), Fable (Xbox)

- M4H

I recommend the CD version though, as the DVD version reportedly has problems (None that you cant fix of course) its just easier to go CD IMO.

Has the latest patch finally included a proper quicksave/load function?

as much as i've come to love quicksaving/loading, it's made games way too easy.

I can pretty much save-crawl through any game now. no more challenge :(

Aint that the truth, I also agree that the people that say FarCry sucks just dont know facts...FarCry is a great game I started my third replay two days ago and I am loving it. so now go, buy the game and then you can post about how great it is just as the rest of us has in the past and some day there will be another thread just like this on and you can be one of the people stating the greatness of this game....Enjoy

Such as?

No but it fixes a lot of bugs if you use it through the console. Just bind the functions to keys and it works pretty well.

Far Cry is an excellent game. Another that I've played recently that I thought was really good is Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. Awesome if you like good FPS melee action. The story is great as well.

QFT

only used quicksave in the end as it was a pita.

The best fps in long time IMHO.

Thanks guys for all the replys i look forward to playing thouse games:

HL2, GTA: San Andreas and Vice city, Burnout Revenge (XBOX), Burnout 3: Takedown (XBOX),Chronicles of Riddick, Quake 4, FEAR.

By the way i plan on getting a 6800GS do you think that this Video card will be able to run this game with everything on max setting?

Also do you guys know of any games that have a sort of DIABLO2 feel to it.

Depends on which resolution you're going to run it at but you will be able to run it with everything maxed up to pretty high resolutions, so it will be fine.

None of the games are anything like diablo2.
