Far Cry - Too hard or is it just me?

Gecko · Post by **Gecko** » 01 Oct 2006, 01:11

Ok, I'm just playing Far Cry for the first time now. Looks killer on my new WS, with everything cranked. No hardware issues at all - the game runs perfectly.

But...this fooker is hard!! :shock: :evil:

I'm playing at the 'Challenging' level and it's getting a little annoying. I sometimes have to play a section dozens of times over to get past. Even if I set some parts to 'Easy'. it's anything but...

I can't imagine playing at the highest setting - I'd love to see the person who can. Without reloading each level dozens of times.

So is this game mental or is it just me??

The checkpoint system isnt the best. There is a wayt to enable quicksaves, dont remember it off the top of my head though.
Even an the easiest level its hard! Wait till you get to the volcano level!

Yeah, I didn't find it all that challenging... until the Volcano level. Oh do I hate that level :P.

As soon as Trigens appeared, I started sucking at Far Cry.

I was enjoying the outdoors - I didn't want a semi-Doom 3 clone! ;)

Doesn't a game have to come after to be a clone :wink:?

Post by **Paradigm Shifter** » 01 Oct 2006, 20:08

Yeah.

I can't remember. All I can remember is that I played the lab sections of Far Cry and Doom 3 around the same time. (Far Cry brought my PC at the time to its knees, so I didn't play it too much until I got a better setup...)

Yeah, Far Cry was February/March and Doom 3 was August.

Agree'd, the outdoors were the best part of Far Cry - the whole "genetically modified things" ruined it for me, i was quite enjoying shooting real people then they decided to try and make it "scary" and it just ruined it - i hope crysis will stick to something a little more entertaining.

I dunno.. the trailers and and the parts of the story that have been relealed make it out to be along the lines of the same story.

Yeah, I got past the part I was stuck in and am now playing the Rebellion level - cool level. It's a great game - looking forward to Crysis!

I got desently into it, got bored with the stealth

You can quicksave whenever you want! Just press the "~"-key to bring up the console and type SAVE_GAME xxxx. To load it, just type LOAD_GAME xxxx. As far as i remember these quicksave files also appear in the load menu,, but i am not shure.

There is also a command that changes the FOV. I have to try it because the +FOV hack where the zoomview.lua file is changed but that does not work for me.

:? I didnt mind the trigens. The first time i went up against one i was impressed that they took MULTIPLE shots to kill... they felt more hardcore than the humans. But each to their own.

I got really far, and I am in some area like a lab and have to fight super mutants and some really tough guys that kill me in like one shot and are impossible to sneak past, I have some behind me and some infront of me in my only save... I got owned

probably like 80% thru the game or so and cant get past that point. Hard game IMO and I hated certian parts of it, but overall a great game still.

Didn't they "soften" up some of the difficulty spots in the patches? If you played v1.0 then yeah, it was pretty hard.

I'm playing the 1.33 version and it's plenty tough. I would hate to see the 'unsoftened' version... :shock:

Although, looking back, it's really only a few areas here and there that are especially difficult. The nagging thing is that since you can't quicksave (haven't done the hack yet), you have to repeat the entire sequence, which gets tiresome - esp. if the hard bit is right at the end.

Still - a great game!
