I Preordered it a couple of days ago... it looks SWEET.
The fact that you get to heal your own wounds sounds awesome to me. Ive always waited for a shooter that has the level of immersion this game offers. Not to mention the known eye candy in the FC series.

Oh. My. God. I found the lowest price i ever could imagine for this game.

275 kr. wich is 27,5 Pounds(ish) wich is 55 Dollars(ish) wich i think is low.
For a game like this.


But, i just want to know, if i can run it!?

so..

My PC is like this.

3.0 ghz processor.
NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS
1 giga byte RAM.



Fun facts.
22 inch screen
Black Thermaltake Cabinet.

So please can i play this?
I don't know how to find out so i ask you guys, the SG community. :D
Oh and is the requirments the same if you try out the Demo (if there is one)???

Dude, you can preorder it on Steam or the ubistore for 44.95 USD..


And yeah your PC should be able to run it. Hell, what sold me was the fact that it supports the 8800m GTS.... WIN!!!!

Ok thx!! :D :D :D :D but im not gonna preorder from Steam.
I'll get it in 3 days because they send it a day earlier than release so i will get it at release, btw i like it on an actual DVD...


What would be a bummer is, i install it, then when i w8 for the moment of truth. It doese this "Sorry, Your PC do not reach the minimum specifications for this game.. your pc will explode in 2 seconds, enjoy your day. Bai Bai to your PC."

It will support it, the 7600 came out after the 6800. The 6800 wasn't that great of a card so you should be fine. I'm sure there will be spots where you get lag but it should be playable.

LOl, custom maps would probably take for ever to download lollololol

I hope I can handle it at the least of capped 30 fps on all low with my 512MB 8600GT -.- Games these days, dev's are forgetting about the budget gamers now.

Meant to say that I'm not as excited for the actual/full game as I am for the map editor.

Yup, I lost faith in most map editers in game after Halo 3 promised an in depth map editor and supplied a simple object placing mechanic. But Far Cry 2's looks fucking awesome.

I think my 9800 GT can run it with atleast 30 FPS. Is anyone else excited by the map editor? It looks incredibly easy to use, why couldn't they make SDK source this easy. :/

i just played a few hours of it on ultra ultra high quality settings, and im not particularly impressed. the graphics are good, but its around crysis level, and crysis is from a few months back. i was hoping for something more intense graphically.

the gameplay is decent. it has its quirks vehicles could get stuck in the mudd and watter which is realistic but also really annnoying because you will find yourself running to your destination and using up 7 minutes of your time playing to find another car. there is no cover system like biahh or gow which i am by now quite used to so i was dissappointed in that aspect too.

its not a bad game by any means but its not the best. its like crysis in alot of ways. horrible story, good engine, and vehicles...

Single player is akin to GTA in Africa, although sadly no prostitutes. It's pretty fun, I'm enjoying it so far.

Multiplayer on the PC is... Retarded. Then again it's Ubisoft, I can't say I expected them to be competent in this area.

GOD
23 Oct 2008, 04:55am
So is it linked with the first Far Cry in any way other than awesome graphics?

(At least I thought they were awesome -- at the time).

no,

first far cry was made by crttek which made crysis.

then ubisoft bought rights to far cry.

so the game isnt related, and isnt even by the same company as the original

Just tried out the FarCry2 Map editor, incredibly easy to use, I am making a Jungle Deathmatch map.

It's more like Mercernaries than Farcry, and you kind of lose that "hunter" feeling since there are no feral powers, just a weird recuring Malaria attack screen.

Indeed, the only thing the two games have in common is the name. Ubisoft just created a game and called it Far Cry to increase the cash flow imo. At least that's what I feel after playing it a bit more.

I thought the feral powers were only on the Xbox version? It's been a while since I've played Far Cry, I quite enjoyed that game.


Awesome. I never completed Far Cry simply because I enjoyed killing the military guys so much when it came to killing Trigens I completely lost interest.

Well then you should love Far Cry 2! You do absolutely nothing but run around and kill African militants. It's actually boring as shit. I wish aliens would crash land or something, the storyline couldn't get any more... Oh wait sorry, there isn't a storyline.

I really don't understand people who say they didn't like Far Cry/Crysis after the Trigens/aliens came out. Before that the game was mundane, repetitive, and about as interesting as a watching paint dry. Yeah the first couple kills were fun, but after the bazillionth fucker you manage to mow down (using a minimum of 2-3 clips per person in Crysis) it gets tiresome.


Silent_guns;112832']would get it but my comp sucks too much to run it :(

I dunno what you have, It runs very well on my C2D and NVidia 7950. There's almost never a slow down. The only tradeoff is I can't use anti-aliasing. Which kind of sucks but everything else is nearly maxed. Given how cheap the 9800s are right now I might pick one up though.


I'm getting it on 360 today, I hope it was really worth it.

Well at least on the 360 the multiplayer will be acceptable. Definitely not that way on the PC version.

Spent 4 hours playing that game last night, it's awesome so far. I kind of hate how much motion is in it though, my stomach didn't feel well when I was finished playing it for the day lol.

I'm at about 20% now, and the game is fairly addictive, the AI are normally pretty intuitive and respond accordingly unless they are being shot with a silenced weapon or from long range. Best thing about the game is simply chucking a few molotovs into an enemy checkpoint and letting the fire do the job for you.

And Astrum, I was getting one-shot one-kill in Crysis on Delta :D

What's online like? Have you tried it yet?

The online is pretty fun, you can submit your user made maps into the online system and people can download and rate it.

It's game mode's are pretty simple too

Deathmatch
Team Deathmatch
Capture the Diamond (Just like CTF)
Uprising (Like Conquest from BF + Escort VIP from Rainbow 6)

It has a pretty simple class system which is customizable like from BF2142 and it has a pretty small ranking system like Rainbow 6 Vegas.

I haven't met someone yet who has bashed the game while playing online.

It's repetative as fuck... though it's still good, the storyline is fucking bad.
though, the ending was brilliant.
Gameplay is brilliant.
Graphics are brilliant.
To be honest it's more of a sight seeing game. Crysis is better, and so is Far Cry 1.
Can't run Crysis warhawk... needs vertex pixel 4 and shader 4.0 ... i only got 3 :/



Final answer.

The game is moderate.
Graphics Good
combat Good
"emmersion" Good
Story Bad.
Ending: good
Multiplayer: average i'm afraid.
Twists: 1 or 2, no big ones though.
Plot: Good.
Racism: Nope, african enemies and brittish enemies and some shithead called the jackal who always ruines every fucking shit for you.
Games that is better from same company: Far Cry 1, Crysis and probably Crysis warhawk.
Lag: No. (for me) on medium.

i bought it and i have to say i was a bit dissapointed, no civilians, i get shot on a regular basis every time im driving somewhere, and then to top it off you have malaria, for example you could be inn the middle of a fight and then have a malaria attack and take a pill, only to discover that was your last pill, then you have to drive halfway across the map to go pick up some more!

It states right at the very beginning that most people fled the country, and now few civilians remain.

Am I the only person here who thought Crysis was horribly over-hyped and is actually not that good?

You're not alone.

PotshotPolka
26 Oct 2008, 11:10am
What do you expect? They mixed FPS with free-roam.

P.S. Am I the only person here who thought Crysis was horribly over-hyped and is actually not that good?

Well I never gave a damn about the hype, the story line is a bit wtf at times, but the gameplay is unparalled... and to be honest if people gave their online mode a chance it would have a pretty strong community.

GOD
27 Oct 2008, 06:01pm
Ohhh, so it's like F3.

So...am I right in thinking there aren't going to be mutants/whatever the hell they were in the first one?

if by f3, you mean fall out 3. fall out 2 and fall out 3 are related. they are based in the same universe and what not, though they are developed by different companies (black isle developed fall out 1 and 2 and bestheda is developing fallout 3.)

this is like quake 1 and quake 2, where the game has nothing at all in common with the original except the name.
