OT: Far Cry (Game) - Page 2

The talk I've seen on Slashdot is that the AI for Far Cry is very smart. You can't just sit there and let the 'drones' come to you and get shot. The AI will flank you if you sit still, and can actually play tricks. Sounds like this is a 'next generation' FPS game.

Dr. Who sucks? WEll, I admit it started sucking once they got Colin Baker to play the Doctor. Sylvester McCoy was ok. Hopefully, the new guy will bring the show back to the popularity it once enjoyed.

Piracy is murder and plunder on the high seas, and I don't even own a boat.

Probably shouldn't have said the specific avenue I used to get it.

Several of my friends have bought it because they saw me playing it and thought it looked amazing. Also, it's buggy as hell for me and crashes constantly. If I had bought it, I would have taken it back because of that. But no stores allow you take back opened software anymore.

Thank You Mephisto.

No point arguing with you. If you wish to deny yourself the simple pleasures of life, who am I to say not?

Thanks David, I may take you up on this. I have to say the first time one of those THINGS jumped me while I was walking across the Tree bridges, I jumped out of my chair. Ohhhh so spoooky.

When I am able to play it, it reminds me very much of Half-life. One part especially scared me, when you find the lead scientist dead and then the mutated ape thing jumps out at you. Very scary indeed.

Atrocities · #18 May 17th, 2004, 10:09 PM

The really scary part about it is that the game autosaved right there, about 2 milaseconds before that thing jumps in on you and kills you.

I had to replace the who level because of that. And I tell you if this game has any draw backs the Auto Save system, or lack of quck save is one, and the fact that the AI seems to always spot me no matter the fact that they shouldn't be able too.

Still the game is great fun and I am enjoying it far more that I should.

(I spent the better part of six hours taking my time taking out the four jaming towers. Ohhhhhh how I enjoyed sniping those SOB's.

More ammo please....

My grenades just dissapear. I mean, I throw them, they fly, they land, they stop, they wait a couple seconds, they dissapear.

Your throwing rocks Narf.

Press the H key to cycle through the garnades you have. On the health, ammo, armo thingly to the very right you will notice it changing.

I have had many accidents with this and you will never forget the first time you blind yourself with a flash bang garnade or throw a rock instead of a shrapnel garnade.

Go for the Head shot if at all possible. Sometimes you get full armor from the bad dudes you kill.
