Far Cry - Too hard or is it just me?

I even found the part on the ship hard initially when you went round the bow! They would get me everytime - play it more though and you get a lot better and things actually become easier!

I'm with a number of you though with the Crygens - I prefer games where you are up against human nasties! Half-Life Marines etc...

Im amazed their still releasing patches, kinda odd though - i installed and updated today (via ubisoft's website) and 1.4 wasnt there :S

The 1.4 patch is a strange one. It was released with fixes specifically for ATI cards (from memory) but then pulled because of some bug. But it was never re-released.

Although you'll have to start teh game over again, start it with "A.i. Balance" selected. every ime you die, the game dunbs down the AI for you and raises it if you starting whooping ass.

The 1,4 patch was never officialy released, it was a beta leak that got out. and apperently they're still working on it and have promised to release it.. eventually. The leaked beta gives HDR for ATI users *YAY* but it's full of shitty bugs.

Personally, i prefer the checkpoint save system. not for many games, but it works well with Far Cry.

It's by Far my favorite game yet adn althogh i've played it through to the Volcano level about 5 times i've only actually FINSIHED it only the last time. and that was on the second hardest difficulty.

PS - Crysis is NOT Far Cry 2, but it's being developed by the same team, Crytek, and EA (ewwww) will publish it.

Since the Far Cry franchise has been sucked uyop by Ubisoft, Far Cry 2 is being developedf and published by Ubi.

I'm looking forward to both but i'm sure Crysis will be better.
So sad to see that so few games have been made arounf the Crytek engine.

I just kinda screwed myself in my game tho I was almost out of ammo and in that lab, had to run from some guys and now I cant backtrack due to them being there and I have a room full of blood and masked guys in the lab that have some insanly powerfull guns that wipe me out almost instantly. With no ammo/health around I got stuck. I somhow managed to lose my other previous saves.

They are all gone now since I just formated my pc a few weeks ago, but when I was playing the game that was the situation.

ahh... hello - didn't emanuel.en post about that 2 days ago??

I played until I was in a big room that I had to fill up with water to get out of. Up until then the game wasn't that hard, but DAMN if I couldn't figure out what to do once I got in that big room..

I think that was about the 1.4 patch that was pulled.

Far Cry has had several patches released, then pulled a day later. So much for QA... ;)

I think i made it up to the vulcano without cheating.

After that I just went into godmode and noclipped like an angel of death raining unlimited rockets from the sky.

*headdesk*

The patch was leaked, before it was ready. It was pulled, and I presume that that one is the official launch.

I quit halfway through FarCry when it got boring and repetitive for me. (yet I was addicted to Doom II when it came out lol..) Funny thing is it's one of the better ones out there! Maybe the vast number of FPSs and games in general we have to choose from these days is what contributes to my eventual lack of interest in almost every game I play even before I finish it.

Maybe this is why some game developers have started making games in 'episodes'.. some of us are becoming too ADD to finish a normal length game!

Post by **Abram** » 08 Oct 2006, 00:40

Yes, that 1.4 patch is the REAL DEAL.

It works great! I'm able to run with HDR + 4xFSAA

huzzah!

AND it has much less of a performance impact than the buggy 1.4 BETA

too bad it took a year and a half to come out:)

i heart HDR

Oh, and i really dislike the episode method..

I'd rather wait 2 years for a full game than get a tiny 2 hour game every 6 months.

I LOVE half-Life 1 and 2.

Episode one was good, but WAY too short. Short enough that i think $20 was too mcuh. But i've read that episode 2 will be longer. I'm crossing my fingers..

Anybody else having problems with their mouse not working with the 1.4 patch. My mouse doesn't work in the game at all, but does in the menus. Odd. I might have to revert back to the 1.33 patch too see if that works.

Shame really, because I really like the multiplayer.

Have the same problem.

http://crymod.com/index.php?p=showforum&fid=16&area=1
