I want it to be a toggle-able option so I can turn in on for gameplay if I need it.
Often games become more immersive and fun when the minimap etc. aids get turned off.
And there is the small matter of screenshots.....

That's what I keep trying to tell people!

I'm kind of shocked that this turned out so good after the dullard shitpile that was FC2.
My time with Hitman Absolution has proven that no HUD is not always good.

Ahh, ok. That makes sense. I thought you wanted it off permanently, which sounded fairly frustrating given modern game design.
Totally. I prefer as little HUD presence as possible without cutting out any vital information (depending on the game, of course...). It's not a deal breaker or anything but busy, oversized, poorly placed and especially low res HUDs are always a blight.

Don't worry, I am with you. I LOVED Far Cry 2. Such a misunderstood game.

And he found the story in Gears 3 good. Lulz.

GMG has it 30% off [depending on where you live, appearantly]. Can't hurt to try it out though, I got the game for 35,-.

I am glad to see this game doing well. It shot to the top of my radar after e3.
I don't even see FC3 on GMG. I live in the USA. Got a link?

....go on.
WTF? Complete fail on Ubi's part!
And years later, they found JeffGrubb still stuck on this post attempting to pronounce "toggle-able."

Besides the world as mentioned, the only other real good thing that I thought about FC2 was some of the shit the mercs in town would say if you listen to them talking to each other.

I have a Far Cry 3 code for Ubisoft's (PC) store, if you can pay me via paypal.
Oh ffs
I am getting Halo 4 on black Friday from amazon. It comes with a gift card I can use towards FC2. Anyone know if the Amazon version is Steam reedeemable?
you have my axe as well zeliard. big fan of far cry 2, the graphics and world were fukn awesome
same. ever since they first showed the game i thought it looked really good. i was hoping for it to be great. will see for myself in 2 weeks arghhhhhhh the wait noooooooo.
Thanks for the offer, but I wouldn't touch Ubi's store even if you were giving it to me free.

Same. Stealth webbing, silenced sniper and an axe to grind? Sign me up for hours of silent kills and wildfires.

It only says "requires Uplay account" on the download page, nothing about Steam. Good news for me
Um why good news? I want it on Steam. What is wrong with Steam?

This is about how I feel. Loved the game, other than the respawning camps. Everything else was exciting for an FPS/open-world game. Will be picking this up.

Nothing if you like it
Just said it was good news for me. Uplay is actually pretty good, very light client and the in-game rewards you get by spending points is pretty neat

Damn, now I have to buy this.
Uplay is by far the worst of the in game clients. I hate origion but uplay makes origin look like the 2nd coming.

You get the best of both worlds with the steam version. Uplay still activates those accomplishments by running along side steam.

What issues have you had with it if I may ask? My only experiences have been positive, but I've also only played a few games:
Ass Creed 1
Ass Creed 2
Driver: San Francisco
A lot of hours into them tho. Never had any errors or problems I can remember.

Holy crap, neverthought that this would score this good. I only played FC2 for like 20 minutes, ran into 100 randomly generated patrols/ambushes and gave it up.

I wish ubisoft spent some time on the DX11 version like Crytek does, there is really nothing to justify such bad performance
At least I was expecting some water like Crysis 1, would have looked so good in a tropical jungle like the one in this game
What is the source for this pic? It must be a mod. I remember someone posting this, and no one could find where they came from.
The problem I have with it is outside of a few select titles the only way I buy PC games is via Steam. With most games my policy is "No Steam, no buy". I don't want yet another client running on top of Steam.

Yeah, Crysis water looks nothing like that...

Uplay needs to be shitcanned period. Thats the one thing I hate about Ubisoft PC games. I hardly consider Uplay running along side steam to be "best of both worlds".
Fuck you guys you were supposed to sign my petition.
This is why devs don't care because you don't care.

Besides Crysis 2 I can't think of a game that does water rendering as good as Crysis one (vanilla).

Its whatever. I don't know why there is such a problem with it, It doesn't affect performance and shuts down when you turn the game off.
