Yeah it should have said Far Cry 3 Battelfields and im sure you would have enjoyed it more.........

Games a Dream and i can not find any fault with it,as for childish? well that has to be the most ridiculous thing i have heard regarding this game.

Story is brilliant,Characters are brilliant,gameplay is brilliant,the vast Rook Island is Beautiful and the fps aspects are a breath of fresh air.

Dead Animals impossible to find.......Are you kidding me or what ? Specsavers have a boxing day sale and so does vision express and boots the opticians.........Now if you can find any of these then im sure they will set you up with a new set of glasses with bottle nose lenses

Jeez Swanny the games a masterpiece,but if anyone was going to complain then my money would have been on you for sure.

3 hours play equates to about 2% so you have basically seen and done nothing,go take some radio towers,do some health trips,take some pirate bases,search for some relics,hidden letters,upgrade all your Packs in the crafting department and use your binoculars for targeting animals and pirates.

I mean childish in a made for kids way

I've captured a couple of towers and bases
I really do have a problem finding dead things in the grass, they just seem to disappear

Off to visit some friends soon but going to have a quick look while I'm waiting for the gf to get ready

One of the biggest problems for FC3 is the missions are on rails, have to do it a certain way unlike the free to roam world- is a let down in that aspect.

I got a copy on ps3 for a family member so will try it out- though if its half decent ile just buy on the pc as its better for fps.

When I kill animals they flash slowly so you can see the carcasses, but I think I know what you are doing wrong. If you kill two goats and then chase the third one up a mountain, it can be extremely difficult to find the other two, because as timey says, it is easy to get lost in such a large area

I quite like it although I played for two hours without saving, died and now have to start again, doh! It feels exactly like dead island in it's handling. I do feel the frame rate is awful on the ps3 though. Perhaps the 360 is much better in that regard. i can imagine it looking fantsatic on the PC.

UC3 is by far the "classier" production, no doubt about it, and Borderlands 1 and 2 handle far better. But I really like this game. I know I am going to have to give it a good 4-5 hour session to really get the feel for it, but it really has me wanting to play it. It's just the flipping wife and kids keep getting in the way!

Gonna try and give it a couple of hours now. Come get some piggy.

In reply to a post by time2die:

Your a funny guy mrnelster.........thats why I'm going to kill you last

You can't kill me Matrix! You need me to find your daughter!

I've put in a good few hours this evening, it's going ok. I'm not doing the missions like they keep telling me too but wondering off to explore on my own. One thing that fecks me off is when your looking for a goat or leopard you can't find one, once you don't need one the [censored] things are everywhere :/



It was beautiful once ........

Me neither. I'm unlocking as many radio towers as I can first.

It looks lovely at times and it is a brilliantly designed island. What I don't understand is why the visuals can be so bad so suddenly. I doubt it's running at more than 20 frames most of the time. The pop up isn't really noticeable to be fair, but that frame rate is annoying.

Great fun though. Tips so far. Don't try to kill a whole group of baddies at once by crashing a hand glider into them and don't let an ostrich creep up behind you while you are laying C4 two feet in front of the Galapagos tortoises.

Now only do the main missions occasionally and make sure you do the radio towers and the base camp on that particular area of the map.

Concentrate on the parts of the map that open up when you climb the radio towers,occasionally you may not find the animal you require in the map until you explore and open up other areas.

And as mrnelster says there are some times when the frame rate is poor and there are glitches,but it has not spoiled the game for me but imagine this game on a next generation console or as mrnelster says a high end PC .

So you a film Buff as well as a gamer

Certainly know your quotes from films.

You can play the game as you like and i don't get the missions are on rails bit,obviously there will come a point when you have done many radio towers and explored a lot and need to concentrate on the main story missions.
