| So yeah, Far Cry 3 from the 4 hours I've invested in it so far have been pretty awesome. Went into it with a "sort of want" mentality, I've aways been of the opinion games like this get over-hyped, but I was pleasantly surprised. The game's graphics are pure sex on the PC, it's always nice to see a game that can push my GTX 680 to full load. Anywho, just wondering if anybody else has picked it up and what they thought about it. |
| I'm always looking for a FPS that will get me interested in FPS. They bore me. I'm more of a third-person-killin' kind of guy. Is this good enough to get me to put down Hitman for a few days? |

EDIT:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtEr1TW-uZE here is Max Scoville's review if you'd like to see a professional review. Only thing I think his review is lacking is demonstrating the stealth elements of the game. |

You said Metal Gear Solid. MGS is relevant to my interests. I might have to buy it on my way home from work. |

| Well, it looks and plays great. They pretty much nailed the combat, stealth and wildlife and the large variety of first person animations adds a lot to the immersion. The writing might be cringe-worthy at times but it's still way over average for a open world game. Some of the characters are intriguing as fuck, even if I personally dislike the protagonist and his friends. The UI is extremely clunky though and the placement of the minimap makes me weep for humanity. It's also too easy, even on the highest setting and they don't reward exploration and non-combat skills enough. There's a whole lot of content here but not enough variation to justify playing the game more than once in my opinion. Personally went through the whole thing strictly using the compound bow, knife and explosives and it felt like a goddamn Rambo simulator of awesomeness. Haven't had this much fun with a FPS campaign since Half-Life 2 now that I think of it. The quest "Kick the Hornet's Nest" with this playing in the background was possibly my favourite gaming moment this year. Givin' Far Cry 3 a very strong 8.5/10 and a solid spot on the list of my GOTY candidates. |

| I was going to download it, but I decided to use that bandwidth for anime instead. I'll probably still get it soon, but I'll only have the time to actually play it some time next year. |

| Hunting is way more fun than it should be in Far Cry 3. The only real complaint I have so far is the servers on XBL (Yeah I know, console.) |
| I'm planning on picking it up soon. From the trailers alone I was captivated. They really know how to make an antagonist. Vaas is the perfect antagonist; Vaas is cynical, psychotic, intelligent and oh so many qualities that make him the guy you love to hate. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| Game is great on PC! WAY better than Far Cry 2 and on par with Far Cry 1. |
 |
| Seems like what FC1 could have been without the silly mutants devolving it into a twitch shooter halfway through. I'm definitely getting this. |
