Anyone played this? I got it recently, and fell in love with it. Would highly recommend it. I completed it once and had to start over and play it again. Brilliant brilliant game best video game I have ever played.
Yeah, I have it. This is what I posted in another thread about it:
Well I've had a good play of Far Cry 3 now. It's good but so far, I wouldn't rave about it. Let's be honest, it's Assassin's Creed rehashed with a jungle theme, radio towers instead of view points, pirates instead of guards...That said, it's more fun (for me) given that you can quite quickly gain access to assault rifles, grenades and hunting bows. The map is huge and, as the video suggested, you can ignore the missions and entertain yourself by wandering around and getting into trouble.The cut scenes are well directed and interesting but I must admit that there was a feeling of "get on with it" at times.I just went on a hunting spree with a bow so I could craft new items from animal pelts (allowing me to carry more weapons, ammunition, medical supplies and loot) but got killed by a bear before saving and lost the lot so I'm pissed of with it just now but that's my own fault really! Good game so far, I'll come back at a later date when I've played it more.
Since posting that, I've played it a lot more and would say that it's a very good game. It has it's flaws, not least the clunky controls but the big plus is the "F**k about" factor similar to the GTA series where you can spend hours upon hours avoiding the actual missions and clowning around.
Oh and the Skrillex track on the mission where you burn drug crops with a flamethrower gets right in your head, haha.
Haven't finished it yet but I'd give it about... 7.5 / 10?
(For the record, I'd have given Far Cry 2 about 4 / 10)
