Post by: Saintaw on February 14, 2005, 05:34:21 AM: So do I Heater, one of the best out so far. Pity they had to go the "monsters" way later on in the game, I enjoyed the 1st parts against human AI better.

There's not many addons that are worth anything either, too bad.

Post by: Maverick on February 14, 2005, 02:20:39 PM: I played the demo but was ambivalent about paying full price for the game. Is it worth the money?

Post by: Saintaw on February 14, 2005, 02:48:22 PM: Very nice outdoors graphics, a good part of the game fighting other AI human oponents (+/-50% 'monsters'?). Good story, should be cheap now, so yes. I''d say it's worth it.

Post by: Wilfrid on February 15, 2005, 02:31:29 AM: Hi Moose, yep from the beginning when the game was supposed to have dinosaurs. I made the 'River' map among others.

Post by: AKS\/\/ulfe on February 15, 2005, 08:16:23 AM: I played it. Was a way different FPS than most, you could hide in brush and it actually worked. (OFP did it too, but it still had issues that allowed the AI to see you through walls) The graphics were nice, except the monsters were pretty piss poor. The simian mutant's eyes had the look reminiscent of someone forcefully sitting down on a bike without a seat. I never did finish the game, I got to probably the last level and then the sound went all crap on me. Maybe I'll put it back on my system and retry playing through.

And multiplayer was crap for me. I could empty entire clips point blank into someone and there would be no result.

How exactly do you know how one looks like after " forcefully sitting down on a bike without a seat" ?

Post by: Halo on February 16, 2005, 07:55:03 PM: Gorgeous graphics for sure -- love that stunning water. Just started so it will take me forever to get out of kindergarten. But already seems worth $20 at CompUSA.

Title: FarCry
Post by: vorticon on February 16, 2005, 09:49:03 PM: played the demo, hated it, thought PC gamer horribly overrated it...didnt think much of the AI, but playing multiplayer games pretty much exclusivly probably spoiled me...graphics looked about the same as nightfire (my shoddy graphics card is probably what did it)

Post by: Edbert on August 24, 2006, 06:58:05 AM: FarCry was decent, graphics and sound were simply outstanding, but whenever monsters show up in whatever game I am playing I loose interest. One exception to that is F.E.A.R. I'm not sure why but I played that one through. Had goosebumps on a few occaisons and jumped in my seat more than once. That's probably why I stayed with it.
