I disagree about the graphics, they are light years ahead of FC2, as is FC4.

I don´t know where you detect the "light years" but I make a comparison for you and everyone interested to figure out, if FC3 has really better graphics than FC2.

Both are maxed at DX9, running on XP x64! DX10/11 would slightly improve the graphics but aren´t available for XP.

FC2:

FC3:

We can see, FC3 is more colorful, but this has nothing to do with the video quality. If people want FC2 to be more colorful, they can add SweetFX to the game, which also improves the graphics a bit. The slight fuzziness on the screenshots is not visible while playing.

I would even say that FC2 looks are bit better.

Youtube is your friend. People can view videos all day long.

So you mean, my screenshots don´t say anything about the graphics? Why so nonserious?

Videos are the best way to compare gameplay by far. That's all. And there are some youtubers who post absolutely hilarious gameplay videos for various games. Far Cry 3 has some of the best.

My both screenshots show graphics, not gameplay.

Ha! this is about my third week of playing 'deus ex, human revolution' I have been stuck for days trying to kill the third boss in the game. But after various ploys like upgrading my armour and weapons I beat the bastard. I now have more optimism that I am going to complete the game, and I recommend it to anyone that likes a mixture of action and strategy. I ordered the next game in the series. 'Deus ex , the fall' and so I will have another good game to play when I finish this one. Both games work on windows 7.

Just finished FC3, making the decision for the friends at the end of the story. I am not going to continue as most quests are done.

Most pathetic quest: A man told me his daughter has been abducted by aliens because he wasn´t able to deliver some bags. I had to photograph the bar codes of the bags, the aliens would beam them up or something.

A very good game with some logic errors.

I agree there are a couple things that don't make sense like that, but eh, its a video game. One cool thing is you can reset the Outposts and go recapture them again. Or do what I do, reset the Outposts and the bad guys are patrolling the Islands again so you can go on 'walkabout', or what I called 'armed walkabout' where you drive around looking for trouble. Great fun to get these guys to chase you in a vehicle and run them off the road or take them out with a jeep. Or lead them back to an area where your allies are waiting to get into a firefight.

I notice once you play this game with its open world and freedom of movement and action it makes other games, that are far more scripted on what you can do, seem very stagnant and lackluster.

I played a couple of open world games like Gothic, TES, Fallout, Two Worlds. They have both advantages and disadvantages like a less dense story for example. However, these games are the time eaters I need and they leave the decision about what is next to the player.

The FC3 environment is very well done. Wild animals all over the place and you find that even when you get in a firefight a tiger, bear, or pack of wild dogs will show up and start attacking the people on both sides. The voice acting is also very good, especially the enemies on the North island. While chasing you they yell things like "You suck" or "you're going to eat
some bullets bitch". Great comedy.

It must be a lot of fun to make these games.

I am a Skyrim love affair today. It has been many years since I played and I am having a blast. Cheers!

Okay, been playing CoD MW3 online for at least a week, a few hours here and there, every day or two. Deathmatch K-D ratio is .32 now and most of the games are challenging but there's an issue with a few of the players who have mics attached to their headsets...... And it's always the "kids", the obvious mommy's basement dwelling, big man on the internet who can't control their mouths.
Conversely I tried CoD BO1, you choose the server you want to play on and while I found it challenging I still managed to rack up an impressive .48 K-D ratio very quickly. Also defamatory and racist comments will get you permanently banned so it's a much more pleasant environment.

Just finished 'deus ex, human revolution' I read the walkthrough, and chose the easiest ending. Otherwise it would have been very hard to finish. There are multiple endings, and I might go back and try another, more difficult ending.
The credits ran for more than five minutes and there were hundreds of people involved in making 'deus ex'
It was a very complex game.

If you want to play with adults, COD is nothing for you.

Anyone interested in PC strategy games try Matrix Games - What's Your Strategy?

For players beginner to Grognard (expert). There are a huge number of strategy games available. The best ones have great depth and they aren't cheap. Generally $80-$100 per game, but you get what you pay for.

War In The Pacific is the one I've had for a few years. You have to move oil, supplies, fuel, fighting units, base units, artillery, armor, ships, and everything else from bases in the US to hundreds of bases in the Pacific constantly. You have to plan invasions with the correct divisions, support ships and ground units, degrade the base with air power. Not a game for those who want to be done in a few days. If you like depth and realism this is the one.

I have War in the East but the 124 page manual told me I´d have to consult the pdf on the disk for the full manual

However, I love Sins of a Solar Empire and C&C Generals.
