A "insane" game

I am one of the lucky people who your version of Far Cry 3 yesterday evening could try / could.
I of course can not make a final judgment, now my subjetiven impressions of the game followed by about 3-4 hours of play.

First, let me start with the image and thus confirm the prejudice that we all "graphic whores" are PC gamers.

Although I (if mans Now believe it or not) does not opt ​​for one game by the graphics, if it ends up in my collection or not, it was for me but the first thing I've looked at this game (pun).
The textures are mostly dissolved up and the game has beautiful light and shadow effects. Vegetation can also be dropped. Overall, the whole game to Crysis1 / Warhead course reminds me the graphics are again contemporary. What I find beautiful that the absolutely annoying to me at least exaggerated "motion blur" effect of many games nowadays is only subtly is used. I play the game on the highest graphics settings and am very fond of the visual offered. It comes directly at holiday feeling and there are just games that will benefit from the largest possible "immersion". This is one of them.

Sound Technically, it is overall very well set to music (German) and the entire game sound moves in the upper class, compared with many other recent games. I would like to highlight the weapon sounds, which I personally find even better than in Battelfield. 3

The story of the game I do not want to outline, because I can not be a comprehensive conclusion even after 4 hours. Suffice it to say: The story moves so far at a high level and the main missions are great fun and are not only standard orders from the bar. I find the term mushroom picking gets a whole new meaning ....
However, the real highlight of the game is so far the villain Vaas. For me, clearly the best opponent, there has ever been!

I have on the whole been able to make a complaint. The side missions. Although these are numerous, but often not sufficient on simple fetch and carry and kill this / Save that out. The quality of the main missions you did not reach so far at any rate by far .... Here, then, would be more "there" was.

Why I'm still so excited and see the game as my personal game of 2012?

Now although the next mission LENS are seen stupid, they are somehow motivating. By archipelago which comes up at every point with ancient temples, caves or just great postcard images, you're in such a compulsion. True to the motto "the mission does not care, but I want to see what is there for great things."

Well done, however, is conquering bases of the pirates and the shutdown of radio towers which respawnende opponents are prevented. Although these are not issues in matrimonial, so I have always a different point of departure, I grab the water at? Or from the top? I turn off the power supply from? Or am I Rambo? You just feel like giving up so myself tasks ... .Insgesamt the game is really extensive and the game world is huge, especially since there is a new discovery every. The scope of the main missions I can not say final, but according to my estimates, I can confirm that indicated in numerous magazines playing time of 20-25 hours. If you from time to time also explored the island.

There is a rudimäntäres crafting and leveling system, which zummidest to explore, the only way I get more weapons belts or Munitionskapatzitäten. In the former motivated the island

So to me, there is a strong buy recommendation for each of the bit can do with these types of games.

One thing last: The game relies on UPlay So the counter version to Steam at Ubisoft. I do not know how it behaves when you buy the game directly in Steam may be waived because Uplay.

I'm actually a fan of Steam, but it bothers me that more and more manufacturers do your own thing ... I have to remember more and more passwords etc ... I would have preferred they remained only on Steam. Unlike eg GFWL Uplay but no customers gängelndes system because no "AllwaysOn" is required and it otherwise pleasant stays in the background.

So that's it. I hope I could give a little help when buying here.

Have fun on the island.
