by wow i meant life draining and engrossing

^ you can only spend Max: 30 hrs in single player with the story line.

I doubt anyone would play FC3 MP/COOP for 7 days straight :lawl:

I'm not usually big on FPS type games but I might have to check this one out

oh good to know then


that 10min trailer made the game look very engrossing/in depth/time consuming

will give it a shot then



thought it was going to be like a min 100hr game and maybe never ending ;)

yray 12-08-2012 09:53 PM

^fast travel saves alot of time now compared to FC2

SkinnyPupp 12-08-2012 09:54 PM

It is engrossing, but WoW is known more for being a perpetual time suck. This is just a really good game that you can get hooked into for hours at a time. Then when you're done, you're done.

LiquidTurbo 12-08-2012 09:59 PM

The best kind of games, IMO

That's old but still way more powerful than either console. On the lowest settings (which are still higher than what the consoles use) it should be playable! Try the demo and see how it goes.

enthusiast-level DX10 card should yield better results than consoles
depending your res I assume you can probably run medium at decent frames

SkinnyPupp 12-10-2012 08:26 PM

Yup considering that games are being designed to run on hardware that is 7+ years old (and already outdated at the time) you don't need much to run today's games.

If you can run a game higher than 1280x720 (or in some cases lower) with the lowest settings, getting more than 20-30 FPS, you are already way ahead of XBOX 360 and PS3 in terms of quality.

Here's a quick setup that will play any game at 720p with medium to high settings (some will run at 1080p easily), and costs less than a PS3 or XBOX 360

CPU: AMD A6-5400K 3.6GHz Dual-Core Processor ($69.98 @ Outlet PC)
Motherboard: MSI FM2-A55M-E33 Micro ATX FM2 Motherboard ($49.99 @ Amazon)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($16.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Green 750GB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive ($54.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Apex DM-318 HTPC Case w/275W Power Supply ($44.93 @ Amazon)
Total: $236.88

I picked it up yesterday and it is pretty good. Not that different than the 2nd one but that was a good game imo.

Where are the boars!!!!??? I need a bigger ammo pouch!

So, got the game. To my surprise, it works and runs smoothly. A mixture of medium and high settings too. Guess I don't have to upgrade yet. :awwyeah:

Good game so far... the story captures and keeps my attention way better than farcry 1 and 2.

Hondaracer 12-13-2012 02:02 PM

Running everything at max game is very pretty, fun so far

im running the e8400@4.5ghz and gtx 295@stock clocks and i can run this game at medium specs at about 30fps which is fine for me.

I've only played it for about 30 minutes and its been pretty cool.

Hondaracer 12-13-2012 09:14 PM

good looking game

Hondaracer 12-14-2012 06:30 PM

yea, think it had somthing to do with the viewing distance plane, not graphic glitch etc

Geoc 12-17-2012 12:04 PM

This is definitely interesting. I was sneaking around in the grass about to make a knife kill when a bunch of rabid dogs starts chasing me. This alerted the guards and started to shoot at me, in the midst of running away I get bitten by a snake and finally getting killed by running into a group of pheasants.

Restart game, get chased by komodo dragon, jumped into the water, get mauled by shark.

This is definitely no FC2 lol, wildlife is a bigger threat than the enemy.
