Guardians Proper Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Any Far Cry gamers around? ( http://www.farcry.ubi.com/ ) If you don't know anything about it, check that link... Great game by Ubisoft... Link to comment
Gamefreek Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 I would've bought it but the demo lagged my pc. People with a crappier pc then me said it runs fine Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 What are your specs? I would say it runs beautifully on my PC... But it runs at an average of 30 fps... Sounds bad, but it feels nice ingame. The "Cryo Engine" or whatever lame name they've given the game's engine runs very impressively... Link to comment
DJ GTA Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 its alright game, and the physics are cool but i liek havok way better. Also the MP sucks. Link to comment

DrEaM4D Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Ok Venetta, is it really worth to buy this game? I'll buy it if u say yes ;P Link to comment
Gamefreek Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 My pc specs are 2.4GHZ p4 processor, a gig of ram and a Geforce FX 5200 128MB card. It really makes me mad that it lags for me, it truely looks like a good game. Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 Probably that 5200 bringing you down. What a piece of garbage... the 5200's are simple GeForce 4 MX 440's with DirectX 9 Support. Wow. Yeah, definitely ditch that baby and buy something higher in the FX series. If not, then just buy a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 (I'd recommend 128 MB and 8X AGP on that)... Ti4200 smokes all the FX series up to about a 5600... 5700 and 5800 are crap, and the 5900 series is the best out now. Anyway, done with the hardware lesson... As for Far Cry, my game looks a lot like Ryan's. Max everything out and awe in wonder... lol... Definitely one of the best FPS games I've ever played. The multiplayer is a little iffy, but the single player is amazing. And it gets extremely hard at some points (Even on easy mode)... I just finished it off yesterday, and the "final battle" (pretty obvious) is quite a challenge... You'll shit your pants when you see all the Fat Boys you have to fight.. lol.. Link to comment
Guest Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 actually vendetta the x800 platinum is the best hardware for far cry. thats all for my hardware lesson for now gamefreek that 5200 that you have WILL NOT be able to run far cry worth a shit. no matter what procesor or ram. i have far cry (challenges vendetta to a game). i have everything cranked except shadows (the shadows are down on medium because i dont think theyre worth the performance hit they take on your computer. all though it is still super smooth with them on. i play far cry with some friends at school all the time. they all think im cheating because i own so much i noticed vendetta didnt even give a nod to the ati cards... atis cards whether it be entry mid or high range outperform thier fx counterparts for a much cheaper cost. its kinda hard to beat that Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 I don't deal with the ATI cards.. It's all the same. 9600 ATI = GeForce 5600 Ultra. 9800 = GeForce 5900+ btw, Far Cry is designed to run on anything over 2.5 ghz... I doubt having any specific brand makes a differnece (AMD or Pentium, ATI or Nvidia..) As for the online play.. It's kinda blocky.. Reminds me of Halo: It's too slow and dull for anyone to claim to be the best. Link to comment
Guest Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 i love the online play... people complain about hitting people but i can take someone down from a long range with a machine gun... its awesome and no its not all the same. "you dont deal with ati cards?" why not? another nvidia fanboy *yawn* no theyre not all the same fyi. the radeons mid and entry level parts are real screamers compared to geforces pos'. and the high end cards ati beats it on both performance, and bang for your buck. hardware lesson over for now Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 lol I never said "I don't deal with ATI cards because I loooove Nvidia." It's all the same, ATI or Nvidia. Which is better, Athlon or Pentium? lol. Actually I prefer ATI or Nvidia. It seems ATI is more stable. Although I have seen complaints about ATI's burning up for no reason, performing poorly, etc. I have seen the same for Nvidia. I've seen praises and complaints, for both the same reasons, on BOTH brands of cards. It's all personal preference. Although you can't agrue that a GeForce 2 can outplay a Radeon 9800XT... ---- I played Far Cry online for about 2 hours.. It's too slow-paced. I'm more of a TMG Railwarz Quake II man msyelf. So fast paced, if you're prone to seizures, then you can't play... Link to comment
TmM_Ryan Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Heres a few more, Il add more as i progress through game. Btw im running on a 2800+ Athlon Xp, Radeon 9600, 512ddr ram. The pics dont look too good becz there JPEG's but pepl wud complain about BMP's so nvm Check out my forum (just click my sig) to view my Farcry Chat . I would recommend this game too any1 with a decent pc, and good @ shoot em ups/action games. Link to comment
Iggy Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I play it, making a map right now, and I also play it online alot, ffa is fun in mp_monkeyisland. Link to comment
Trust Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I have it too (my brother bought it) but I don't like it at all, and the MP really isn't that good. Link to comment
