Do I say bad things about Dr. Who Fyron?

I am just saying that great graphics are wasted on a game that boils down to who can point and click faster and more accurately.

It just finished downloading this morning, all 3 and half gigs of the DVD. It is one of the best games I have seen, the lighting and physics are very impressive.

Never played this particular fps but I do know that at least some of them boil down to more than just "who can point and click faster". Cunning, teamwork and tactics can all play a part. I play a lot of RTCW: Enemy Territory, and although I'm certainly not the fastest or most accurate clicker, I can often triumph anyway through downright sneakiness.

And Dr Who sucks...

AT, I understand exactly what you mean. I played both demos of farcry and also loved it enough to make the purchase. I have made it all the way through the game, so if you need hints just let me know.

hmmm, I just had a thought, use the farcry engine to create "Space Empires: Ground Assult" hmm, yet another thing to add to my 2-Do list

Cheers!

P.S. The only other game purchase I made this year is Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic. I highly reccoment this one too.

Sidenote: I was actually a beta for Farcry

Went and grabbed the demo, installed it, go to play a single player game, and what do you know, it's multiplayer only. And nowhere in the download description does it say multiplayer only demo. That sucks.

Demos like this should always have a single player option. Multiplayer should be reserved for the retail Version only. The idea is to let people try the game. you shouldn't need multiplayer access to try the game.

There are a few games that have multiplayer demos but at least they are clearly marked as multiplayer.

I'm not a happy camper. So I guess this game lost me as a potential customer.

Nuf Said, Cheers!
