FAR CRY 1 FULL
And I did the same thing-played either the demo or the first level of the full game back in 2004, on my Geforce 4, and was blown away. I’ll happily play through the original Operation Flashpoint, DOOM, DN3D, Quake etc. The later levels are just insane and the only solution the devs had for making the game more of a challenge was “lets just put more dudes on watchtowers with rocket launchers” or “lets spawn a million trigens in this one small area”.Īnd it’s not because it’s an older shooter. Enemies will see you from a mile away and spam you with rocket launchers, even seeing you through walls. And the difficulty, it is just straight up broken. The scope of the maps is certainly impressive for the time but they do so little with that and it ends up feeling so constrained in a weird way. Back when it first came out I only played the first level in the demo and thought “wow this is super impressive” Looks gorgeous, enemy AI seems smart, it has vehicles and weapons that feel pretty good to shoot.īut later when I tried to actually play through the game it was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had with a first person shooter. (Though I played the Xbox version which I think massively cleans up the controls in a way that makes sense.)ġ00% agree with you. Genuinely love Crysis 's hard to believe a developer could get so much better from one game to the next! (And I'm going to give it a second shot-always been meaning to.) Ironic, since I assumed it was worse, given the point of it I assume was to do a Far Cry port to Xbox 1.but it's a much stronger game, AND at least the 360 port looks at least as good as this.Īlso, I couldn't really stand Far Cry 2 when I played it 10 years ago or whatever, but I can at least get behind what they were going for compared to this. I'm sure it's not great by today's standards, but it was a HELL of a lot better game than this is. Yeah, I played Far Cry: Instincts: Predator: Too Many Subtitles on 360 back close to when it came out.
FAR CRY 1 PC
The most I know about the PC version comes from Uwe Boll
I never played the original, but I remember enjoying the 360 version where you go around superman punching people off of cliffs. It can be a little rough to go back to, but it's not a bad game. Yes, some games certainly served as tech demos, but to say that Far Cry 1 is just a tech demo would be naïve. And there are the technical achievements of which Cryengine 1 have accomplished at the time compared to Unreal Engine 2 and id Tech 4, which is another of one those historical pieces which isn't as important now with most modern engines being pretty much the same in terms of overall graphical fidelity. I could also argue that Call of Duty 1 and Battlefield 1942 would be more accurate gameplay comparisons since Deus Ex 1 and System Shock 2 are RPGs where shooting accuracy is based on dice rolls and skill points where you character gets better, as opposed to more straight-forward shooting where you get better save for Far Cry 1's stealth element since first-person stealth wasn't back then what it is now. There is an aspect of being spoiled by aspects of modern game design that can make older games feel impenetrable at times, such as the lack of health refrigeration, no iron sights, and the lack of other gameplay improvements of which were made it in first-person shooters to follow. I'm not gonna act like Far Cry 1 is a perfect game, but I'll play my usual role as Devil's advocate. I can't really put my abhorrence of this into works properly.Īt least it's another game out of the backlog when I finish (hopefully tonight). Granted game design and FPS design has come a long way since 2004, but even in 2004 we'd had Deus Ex and System Shock 2, and I'm sure other good games besides (not to mention Resident Evil that's at least tangentially related to an FPS). It's just boring and frustrating as hell, even when you're invincible. It's got occasionally broken scripting (which would suck 20x more if I weren't invincible). The difficulty is ludicrous, even on "easy", and there's no way in hell I'd be playing this without a god/invincibility mode. Was expecting Far Cry 1 (Windows) to be worse, but not THIS much worse. I'm a pretty huge fan of the Crysis trilogy-played all three over the past year or two on Xbox 360, and they look and play great, and tell a fun story (other than the boss of the first game is too hard).
