How about I do you one better?

*thumbs up*

I see a lot of stealthy knife kills in my near future.

It looks completely awesome. The exploration and gunplay looks vastly improved from FC2, but I will say that the narrative looks pretty ridiculous. I like Jason's tattoo mechanic, but from the developer diaries and video footage, his character seems a bit lackluster. I think it's the villains that make me want to play the game- the eccentric, and the deranged. Vaas looks so awesome!

I want to punch sharks. I want to watch outposts burn. I want to meander through the jungle!

Any info on PC performance, or videos?

I have the PC to run it at max settings (2600k @ 4.6ghz, 16GB RAM, 2x 3GB gtx 580s), but I play at 2560x1600 so I'm curious as to the performance if there are any metrics out.

I had a hard time playing Far Cry 2 on my 360 because it gave me motion sickness. It's one of the very few games that has caused me that.

I'm not actually sure what caused it, but does it look like this issue might have been solved in Far Cry 3?
I'm really looking forward to playing it but I'd like to, you know, be able to play it. :/

This sometimes happen with some people if they have difficulty focusing their eyes on a single point on the screen. Valve addressed that in Portal 2 - you had the option to put a single dot right in the middle of the screen. No, the blue/orange outline was not enough, my gf also had trouble playing the game because of that, her head stopped hurting only when we turned on the dot.

When you see people on YT playing FPS games and moving very slowly and turning imprecisely - that's what is happening.

Won't be getting a stable 60 with those cards at that res. There's some benchmarks in the review thread.

Thanks for using my gifs! Great job on the OT, very clean. Was there some OT manifesto made after all the insane image text and ad-like OTs? I'm the crazy person making most of the gifs (DennisK4 made one, and MRORANGE had a couple). Shark punching was my first gif of the game. If you want to see all of my gifs, here's a folder.

Wish I knew how to make light gifs ^^

I have a 4-man-stabbing-spree-combo (basically a one-shot settlement conquer) lying somewhere in the captures.

I made an upgrade to my computer when I saw this game. I want to really see it with no obstructions.

According to that chart I'll probably be seeing 27-30 FPS on those settings. Which is great and also sucks. I want my computer to be used.

1080p with 4x MSAA maxed benchmarks


yeah this is what I meant, shit's brutal

hopefully a single 680 2gb with an i5 2500k @ 4.5ghz on a 768p TV is enough to get somewhat-steady 60fps with a different AA option and possibly DX9
 
Shit. First time ever that I can't justify preordering a game and will have voluntarily and knowingly miss out on DLC I'm interested in. Fuck pre-order DLC.

I just know that if I get it on release it'll be £25 by Christmas :(
 
Seriously though, what are the odds on a price drop between now and Christmas? I know that if I drop Dishonored now, I'll never get back to it :(

Cannot wait for this.

I7 960 3.2GHZ
GTX 680 2gb
6gb ram

I should be ok at 1080p long as I do not use MSAA, hopefully lol.

I didn't enjoy Far Cry 2 much, mostly because of the gunplay (spoiled by Max Payne 3). If that has been improved in this one it could turn out to be quite the game, looking forward to gaf impressions.
 
Can't wait to see some PC shots in the hi-res screenshot forum. I will not be surprised if this becomes the best looking game this year.

Awesome OT btw. Job well done.
 
nice op zero

gonna go the stealth route first time round, my bow is ready

This.

I just hope the enemies do not spot you the moment you fire a shot. The AI can be so ridiculous at times in certain games. I am sitting between leaves and trees and the moment I fire they know exactly where I am. That shit completely removes the fun of stealth.
