Ubisoft Randomly Gives Far Cry 3 A 60FPS Current-Gen Upgrade

Easily my favorite enemy ai, too. Actually fanning out to find what made a noise, playing dead so you may need to double-tap to be sure, etc
And the "physical" map to get around with was great
Later on in the game enemies just dropping their weapons and running when they find out it's you they're fighting. God I need to play it again.

I still remember playing this game, after purchasing it on Steam, then it launched uPlay to start the game. And randomly drops connection during playing to uPlay, not saving any progress, shutting down my game. Steam was still online, everything else worked.
After two minutes uPlay logged back in, so I restarted from last save, lost like 30 minutes of unsaved stuff. So I get to it, and whatdoyaknow, it drops AGAIN.
Uninstalled the game, and never bought anything from Ubisoft ever again.
Fuck that company. And I still love Prince of Persia Warrior Within.

Funnily enough, this is the type of issues proton solves beautifully and transparently on linux, making it a great gaming platform in general but particularly so for aging video games!
If you own this game on steam, just launching it on linux should work out of the box. -

Trying to drive and look at the map and dealing with malaria symptoms at the same time. That's a core gaming memory for me.

This along with Blood Dragon, are the best Far Cry games for me, that was when Ubisoft was still the good guys...

Agree. 3 got me back into single player fps at the time. Blood dragon was just extra icing.

My opinion about Far Cry 2 did a complete 180 over the last few years. When it first came out, all I remember thinking was that it was less technically impressive than Crysis. (I was just obsessed with graphics in 2008. There were many of us like that. I have changed.) Now I see it as the most distinct entry in the series.
And the graphics still hold up! I'm playing it now, and it looks great.
Somehow, I never got around to playing any entry in the Crysis series. I should fix that at some point. I hope my 3080 is enough to run it.

Cool, now do blood dragon

They definitely do! A very distinctive look for FC2, another thing that sets it apart from the rest of the series. (I mean, OK, Blood Dragon is very distinct, too, but that's kind of another thing.)
Unfortunately, there are still no computers that can run Crysis well. Some things are outside the reach of current science. Maybe in another ten years or so, we'll get there. It's still worth playing, though.
