Far Cry Instincts?

Anyone else really looking forward to this? Far Cry was great. The island battles with mercs were just superb. The mutant aspect was a tad overdone IMO, but regardless, one of my favorite games in recent times.

Synopsis on IFilm: POSSIBLE SPOILERS, if you really don't want to know even basic info.

Quote:
The game begins under mysterious circumstances where main character John Carver finds himself tied to a chair in the empty, rusted belly of a decrepit cargo ship. Thanks to the help of an unseen stranger, John's restraints are loosened and he sets out to escape his captors. From this point on you are in control of John's destiny. Far Cry offers a variety of ways to approach each challenging situation, where players can choose to rely on firepower, strategy and stealth.


The new multiplayer aspects, the teambased combat... augmented vs. mercs, seems really quite neat.

Somebody's cranky.


The game looks good, the whole Jack Carver going nuts thing should be cool. Now all I need is an xbox.

WTH, in the Xbox version, the enemies are self-shadowed, but not in the PC version? :confused:

I messed with the XBox demo a little the other night. Seems pretty good. Looking forward to this and HalfLife2 for the XBox. Supposedly no content will be cut from the XBox version. Regardless, it will be well over a year before I mess with either one of these titles. :(

Stop being so damn politically correct. IT'S A WORD. He didn't mean **** about disabled people. Considering its considered hugely offensive to call a disabled person retarded, why should that word be completely shut off? That would be retarded. It has become a synonym for stupid. Get over it.
