Well i got this game on sale on steam, I loved FC1, 2 had some good elements but lacked a lot of what made FC1 great, now comes along 3 and its like you guys just decided to take away the last of the good stuff, and make some seriously ridiculously poor choices.
1:Graphics, engine is great, too bad everything looks the same, same character models over and over and over, ive seen the same 2 villagers killed a thousand times.
Only a couple vehicles, repetitive structure design. (at least towers were all different) voliage is no longer destructible (been a while since i played the others but i swear
I could shoot down trees?
2: Obsolutely hands down some of the worst UI ive ever seen, which is insane because thats one thing that was done pretty well in 2, the use of the map was awesome.
Now there is this ****ty jarring map screen, and the most obtrusive mini map ive ever seen, that you cant scale or move, in my mind all i can remember from the game is staring
at that stupid mini map driving from diamond to pot shape wp markers and barely noticing the world around. ( at least by the time i played a lot of options to turn things off exist
but still pretty bad)
3: Very repetitive , go to tower, climb tower, use zip line, run first aid mission, go to out post shoot cage, clean up, repeat repeat repeat repeat, sure throw in a few races that
make no sense in the game world what so ever, and a few various target practces and some poker, and you got all kinds of "clearly the devs couldnt decide what kind of
game they want"
4: I love games where i can explore, see what i can find, there is this big beautiful game world, and can you explore it ? no because once your within a mile of something it
shows on your mini map, and if that wasnt bad enough you just buy maps to show you where everything is ? Id say it was made for kids but even dora the explorer would
be ashamed at this choice, too bad your wallet is small and fills up so your forced to buy them, if you want to at least have the fun of looting bodies.
5: taking over outposts seemed awesome untill an area is cleared out then you realize there is nothing to do now, because your driving around a safe boring world, game is more fun leaving the out posts but then you dont get
access to missions etc, not that it matters because those also very repetitive.
6: SIgnature weapons, this is kind of a wtf, i found myself getting really awesome signature weapons before i got the regular versions making the regular versions pretty
useless, infact the only reason i used the regular ones is because the signature ones felt over powered, hell the sniper rifle one shots EVERYTHING, cars trucks choppers
heavily armored guys etc, I can understand getting access to these AFTER you beat the game maybe, seems pretty ridiculous anyways.
7:Its always day time, there was night time a few times when i was playing but it was very brief compared to the times and length of night, this was very annoying because
its no fun being stealthy on a bright sunny day, guys 5 feet away and im standing waist deep in a shrub and i can just just shoot him in the face with an arrow. no idea
whats up with the day night system.
8: Radios in vehicles....omg infuriating at times, horrible music, theres like 2 songs over and over.
9: Audio in general is some of the worst ive heard at least just the voices, very tinny and poor acting, repetative dialogue from backrgound chatter.
However weapon sounds are great especially sniper rifles, the sound is fantastic there,
10: im sure i have more to ***** about but on to the good, Story was good, infact the story missions were the best part, good mix of emotions , i felt fairly connected to the
main character, Im not sure i enjoyed the ending but it is what it is, ive played worse.
11: overall game play is good, combat is very satisfying which is the only thing that got me through the repetitive parts.
12: weapons are great.
13: Multiplayer is pretty fun, im actually impressed with that, not many people playing now it seems but fun none the less.
And thats about it Overall pretty poor experience I would say, I did enjoy myself, but it felt like you guys just focused on the short main story, then through in some random
repetitive junk for people to do if they wanted, none of it had any impact on the story or there world except to like i said earlier make it more boring.
Its really said to think about the thought process that went along the development of these games.
FC1 came out, became a hit , then 2 came out and they made a lot of changes that left people saying hey wait, this isnt what got me into FC, now 3 they just said ah forget it,
lets make a half assed jungle and leave out all teh good stuff, no one will notice....
Well I did, im glad i didnt pay full price, and i certanly wont be ordering any fc4 whenever its announced, not without some serious evidence of improvement, otherwise steam sales are always a possibility.
Try harder next time.
Self opinionated ? you only agree with about %1 , clearly you dont know what that word means, maybe you didnt read my post, either that or your a fanboy and dont want to hear the truth, because infact very little of what i typed was self opinionated its just facts, lets review for fun.Originally Posted by flybyme Go to original post
-Game has only a few variations on character models CORRECT
-Bad UI, limited modifications, horribly placed mini map, non scalable mini map, map is a down grade from previous game CORRECT
-Repetitive , game has only a hand full of repetitive events outside the main story, only half of which fit in the game world and only one of which has any impact CORRECT
-No need to explore because everything is handed to you by the mini map CORRECT
-taking over out posts removes enemy resistance leaving the entire map with nothing to do and no one to kill save a few small select locations CORRECT
-you get access to signature weapons before the basic version leaving no reason to use the regular version CORRECT
-day night cycle being wierd (unless my game is bugged) CORRECT
-In vehicle music limited to a few bad songs CORRECT (the bad part being self opinionated)
-poor audio quality for voices ( so unless theres a technical glitch, its the worst ive heard of any game ive played in the last 10 years) CORRECT
-Story was good, mostly opinion, but a fairly educated one.
-game play/ combat is good, mostly opinion
-weapons are great mostly opinion
- multiplayer fun, and last but not least is opinion.
well thats def more fact than opinion, you cant with any degree of intelligence deny most of what i have said because its just the way it is, deny if you want, ignorance is bliss as they say
Still go by what I say. But anyway I don't really care as I have really enjoyed the game. See this thread.

I love the game and I thought his review was spot-on. If you disagree with 99% of it you haven't played FC3 SP.Originally Posted by flybyme Go to original post
Well I played single player to the end and collected everything. I enjoyed it and I had great fun. I like the artificial inteligence and all the violent animals sneaking up on you.
Especially the aligators are scary. It can't and never will be the real world. But it's a game to entertain you.
I think it's worth its money. Co-op is also good fun but multi player is a different story. It's "servers" and the cheating is very disappointing.
SLI or crossfire works fine in SP and Co-op, but fails often in MP.
