Just got Far Cry

After getting killed by Spider Zombie boss in Doom 3 for the 76th time over 2 or 3 days I decided to give it a rest for a while. $%^&* that spider.

So on a whim I order Far Cry online and it arrived yesterday.

I installed it this morning and I have to say - pretty awesome. Since it's years old I was scared the gameplay and graphics might have aged by now. Not so.

With every setting maxed out and 1680x1050 enabled the game looks damn good and runs smooth as glass. When I tried the demo on my old PC the firefights were a slideshow at medium settings/1024x768. I almost consider it a blessing now that I waited until I had a PC that could crank it up. And the game play is a blast as well (at least what I've gotten through - about 1/2 hour).

I can tell I'm really going to like this game. If anyone hasn't played it because it's not new you probably don't need to worry about that.

yeah, but I don't wan't the ads. Plus - don't you have to pay to join a downoad host service to get it?

$10 IMO isn't that big of a deal for a great game, even if it's a bit old.

It's for US only (free + ads), it seems to have been taken down, because I tried to download it and the page said Ubi.com was working on a way to block IPs.

yeah, HL/HL2 is just like the train rides except you get guns. farcry is pretty immersive, I love the hand gliding (I think I found only 3 of those)

It's just the open expansive areas turn soon enough to corridors and darkness. Then these monsters arrive and I've never been bothered to play past that moment despite one or two replays of the game. It just gets boring.
