yes a counterstrike would save it but as a game worthless,

i would seriously just buy another game and wait until a counterstrike effect happens on the engine,

by counterstrike effect i mean take a bad game and multiplayer setup and make it worth while playing, i pld half life didnt care for it much but went straight out to buy it when CS came out because it overhalled everything, thats the only thing that would make me buy this game.

When you say it's crap because you can carry an unrealistic amount of weapons, it seems like you're cracking down on it because it's not a military sim. Keyword, seems. That's the impression I'm getting from your posts, not me putting words in your mouth. And what's the big deal about mutants. They don't look like monkeys. They're monsters. The game probably doesn't suit your tastes. It's extremely fast paced and catered to mainstream gamers. I also find the AI decent, at the very least not worse than Ghost Recon that we've been playing for a very long time.

well why not stop assuming that i dont like mainstream games because i played half life and counter strike for years, and they are very mainstream, i also played quake,

so i dont dismiss games at all because they are fast paced.

i dislike this game as i have saud before because it has a non existant multiplayer and a stupid single player, and if you think the single player ai are similar to GR then you need to play it more because they are not predictable to you yet...

but they are predictable, i dont even have it on my computer i played it at a mates house for about 7 hours total game time and i could predict where the enemy were going to go.

and i was on the hard setting. so why do i waste my money.... i dont

my problem sarc is just as you have posted, you asssume because all you have seen me play is a military sim that i am disinterested in anything but, well bluntly assumption is the mother of all ****ups.

no i dont like four weapons because it makes it easy, no i dont want to buy the game just because its a new company and the graphics are good either.

i will buy a game if its worth 25 hours minimum play and after 7 hours on and off at a mates i was bored with it,

and i think the character even says that they look like monkeys ifi remember correctly...

Re: Any new games coming out?

If you can't find any new games look back over the last year or so. I recently played Max Payne 2 and I can seriously recomend it if you like a good story or Deus Ex 2 for the same reasons. Have you played Splinter Cell? Rise of Nations? Have look at the budget re-releases. If they are rubbish you haven't wasted much money.

I just don't think your argument about it being a bad game because there are mutants is very strong. That's the impression I get whenever you post about Far Cry.

Thumbs up Re: Any new games coming out?

It takes place after the third movie. I think that the company is just trying to make a buck. But anyways, it looks pretty cool. My friends have gone to sign up for Beta testing, they already own their ships on the game!

Re: Any new games coming out?

I really enjoyed Far Cry, but each to their own, it's not perfect, but its good fun, the graphics do make it and I'm not suggesting they are a substitute for game play, BUT, it is fun and a good FPS if you don't over analyse it.

I'm not a fan of mutant shooters either though, but it does make a change from WW2 sims.
