Well I just got the game a couple of days ago and its Who else plays it here? I have a Pentium 4 2.4 GHz, a geforce 4 ti 4200 and im running the game on medium graphics, it lags quite a bit. Looks like im going to have to turn down all the graphics to improve my FPS. I know it requires a pretty fast computer and a video card to match.. but how does it run for you? Also what are your opinions on the actual game?

i turn everything right down...gameplay is more important to me that prettyness. seems like prettyness is more important to people these days which is a shame.

farcry is a quality game but i broke one of the scripts preventing me from continuing to the next level on the hardest setting. and a differant one on the easiest

but a very well made game. could have been better if it left out the humerous comments as it would have made the game more atmospheric.

anyway im not really understanding why so many people are complaining about this game being laggy...turn the settings down coz games aint all bout looks!

I agree with you when you say gameplay is important. But the graphics of this game were so impressive.. I dont mind turning down the graphics if it results in some much needed improvement in framerate.

Hahaha Doom III will kill my computer! Speaking of far cry, the one thing that I immediately took notice off was the water.. so nicely done. Anyway im not even going to try doom 3 until I getter a better video card

i hope you are remembering to put anti aliasing as off as possable (setting 1 i think) they call it something else in farcry coz they are wierd but its defo anti aliasing.

antialiasing is what fries graphics cards most! +you dont really need it. for the fps drop to prettyness ratio its rubish.

best weapon(most fun) has got to be the AR52 or some name like that


yer i need new stuff for doom III need money......so fingers crossed for it to be delayed heheh

heheheh im a cheapskate brat and downloaded the full game before release so ive completed it on normal setting, half way through on hardest (before got stuck due to bug) and 2 3rds on easy (before got stuck due to bug)

see if the game had a nice net cod i recon it would be sooo fucking cool to play! just feels so nice. but true the weapeopns are not balanced like in UT2004 but are weapeons balanced in real life? i think not!

I'm at the very last room in the very last level and I cant beat it!!

Excellent game though, runs smoothly and looks great. I am a bit pissed at the damn monkey monsters. Sorry but two hit kills while jumping thirty feet is rediculous and the rocket guys are way too tough to kill. Other than that its been good.
