Far Cry 3

[binaryRooster]

Apparently my Insane Edition got shipped on saturday. They must have put it on one slow assed delivery service if it's coming out on friday.
The reviews have pretty much all said look past the flaws and it's an excellent game.

I'm still ploughing my way through Doom3 at the moment which shows no signs of being near the finish anytime soon. One helpful site has told me it's gametime lasts from 10 to 22 hours. Some difference.

10-22 hours? So like, if you're good at it it'll take 10 hours, and if you're shit then it'll take 22+ hours?

Looks awesome - like all the FC3 videos I've watched . I guess they want a bit of that LFD and Borderlands MP mayhem!

Far Cry 3 is looking to be amazing - that Map Editor is mental!
When I pre ordered FC3 I had no idea it would end up this big, I would've been happy with another FC2 with just new characters and location!

After reading the reviews i'm looking forward to this - however will probably wait till the post christmas price drop to under £25 as it's almost certain to do!

Is this going to be game of the year?

[therealjaxon]

What do you care - you don't even like Far Cry remember?

I forgot I ordered Far Cry 3 ages ago. I don't even like Far Cry

That was like an hour ago. Things change, man.
