Compatibility quest is too difficult

I haven't even tried this damn game yet. Want to know why? It doesn't work. Every time I've tried to launch it, it comes up with the same thing... A black 1024x768 window, regardless of your resolution or fullscreen setting, which is always on top http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=346063230 A "Critical Exception" error message behind said black window http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=346063746 Despite all my attempts and all my searches, I still can't get it to work. I've tried the direct EXE and the GOG launcher, I've tried all the compatibility modes, I've even tried turning down lighting as some have said fixes the issue. For now, I give up. I can't find the damn solution, I've tried everything and yet nothing works. Even Fallout 3 worked at one point for me, but this just can't be done. Buyer beware, this game might not even launch properly.

Just not a good game

Look past the graphics. The save points are fixed and usually not logically selected requiring you to do a lot over when you die. It seems like no matter what difficulty I pick, the enemies always have perfect aim. Playing the game is a chore and not fun as others have pointed out. If the save points were better or you could save wherever you want and the AI was worse on easier difficulties, it might be different. Worth $3 on sale though, I guess.

Still fun

As for the single player, I only played a few levels. My friends and I really just played the game's multiplayer, and I liked it well enough. My biggest draw to Far Cry has always been the tropical island setting and its great graphics. (See below.) I know some people were complaining on here about the insane AI that can see and shoot through walls like nothing. This is actually a bug that was introduced in the final official patch (1.4). However, if you want to fix that and other bugs, to add some nice features to the game and improve the graphics even beyond the highest settings, then you simply must try the FCAM mod by Garcry. (Just do a google search for it.) It adds widescreen support, the 64-bit graphics content, and the AGM mod for improved graphics. It is a must-have for Far Cry. You won't regret it.

Solid, Challenging Sandbox Shooter

The first half of this game is amazing. The amount of freedom which you can pursue your goal is great. the control is tight, the guns have a nice punch to it, and challenge that encourages clever, 1-against-100 tactics. The second half is not as great, newer enemies make the game more frustrating. But overall this game comes highly recommended.

wow....2018 and i am finally playing FARCRY!!! first-off i must say cryteam did an amazing job with the visuals, i mean the game world is beautiful and you can see pretty far-off into the distance, it almost tricks me into thinking that my crappy single-core processor running @ 1.60ghz 2gbRAM and a integrated ATI 3200 video card is better than it actually is, the game looks really good and runs very smooth on my low-spec system. a very good FPS-game with lottsa action and gunplay!!! includes a level-editor so you can make your own levels. now for the bad or should i say the disapointing? this game is WAY TOO HARD on the easy difficulty setting, easy should be just-that EASY!!!! but the NPC's in this game will take you down real fast...on easy difficulty they are TOO accurate with their weapons, inflict TOO-MUCH damage and it can take a few shots to put them down, i mean COME-ON cryteam..would it have been so hard to give us a ONE-SHOT kill? here is how it should go...player sees bad-guy, player shoots bad-guy ONCE, bad-guy goes down, that's one way to handle EASY difficulty. also how-come there are no female baddies? all the enemies are guys, i like a little YIN-IN-MY-YANG in these type of games and it would have been nice to have some female enemies trying to fill me full of holes also. one more thing bothers me...no BOTS present in multiplayer, WTF??? why wouldn't they just include some? kindof standard with these types of games in this day and age but i guess cryteam didn't get the memo on that one. ok i am done complaining, bottom line is that it's a great game that shouldn't be missed if you have a low-end PC like me, and after you beat the game the included level-editor will keep you busy for a while, does anyone know any good youtube tutorial videos that will help me learn to use this thing?
