OT: Far Cry (Game)

The main problems with it is the netcode for smoothing the lag in multiplayer, and the Level of Detail changes...
The artists doing the close-up models must not have been the same ones doing the far-away models... Some of the bendy trees change shape into a different tree as you get closer.

The outdoor rendering of sea, land and sky are quite amazing still.

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...
