Wow! That sounds like an interesting option! Someone should start a thread about that! Screenshots anyone?
I don't think I have that option checked. I'm just talking about the slightly overly vivid colors and details like when you shoot the leaves, little "cartoon" leaves fly off to simulate damage... stuff like that. I do like the animated pigs though!
Another thing I find cartoonish about Far Cry (in the demo, which is all I have played) is the way the mercs move. Their motions don't seem fluid or natural at all, but rather jerky and robot-like. When you're trying to shoot the guys on the "hanging shark" dock, they seem to move way too fast and kind of erratically. The movement of enemy AI in, again, Ghost Recon or Raven Shield seems much more realistic to me.
Does anyone else find merc movements kind of weird? Or was this fixed in the final version?
