I was quite looking forward to playing this game after getting it for just £12. I've heard lots of good things about it. But I've had loads of problems with it.

First, big patches of land went black. After experiementing for a bit, I found out switching shadow detail from VERY HIGH to MEDIUM fixed the problem. The strange thing, everything runs so smoothly apart from the black holes in the land. Also have problems with see-through walls. My system should cope with this (3.4Ghz CPU 2Gb RAM 6800 GTo).

Then theres sound. Hardware mixing doesn't work, and consequently neither does EAX. Despite having an Audigy 2 ZS, which works with everything else.

Then theres the game itself, just seems a bit stupid to me. I don't think it plays very well at all. It's neither realistic nor arcade-style. Well I guess its ok, just expected better, I suppose it is a year or so old now though, and is obviously not going to compare with a lot of the better games out there.

Have you had any problems, bad experiences, big dissapointments with this game?
 
I enjoyed it, didnt have any video problems on my 9700 Pro.

THe ending kind of sucked and was damn near too hard, but it was still a fun game that really, really looked good.

I plan to play it again now that I have a 6800U.
 
Far Cry is probably my alltime favorite FPS, even more than HL1. Yes it's buggy, and yes it doesn't have cinema-quality voice-acting, but I found the graphics, the setting & the gameplay to be top notch.

Wrong forum btw
 
farcry is a great game. the game play itself way a blast. It was a good mix between stealth and having fun.
 
Software is the RIGHT forum - it's been discussed millions of times 😛

ANYway, if you don't have Patch v1.31, GET IT . . . it will NOT run with out it.

The story and the voice acting sucks badly - you can drive a freighter thru some of the plot holes. . . . There is no "anytime save" (search Software to find the "hack") and it gets hard as hell even on the easier difficulties. :thumbsdown:

However, AI, gfx and gameplay are top-notch. :thumbsup:

overall, the flaws get (largely) overlooked cause it's a good FPS game where you DO get very involved and it is addicting (once you get the hang of it)
