Thread moved.
And do not post entirely in caps, as it is considered shouting when online and can cause people to take offense of you and your posting.

GameBanshee is all about RPGs. No other genre. That's why an FPS like Far Cry won't be reported here. As for the game itself, can't say I'm looking forward to it as I have a great dislike for open-world games.

Of these three games, I was only able to complete STALKER but I did it just to get it over with, not because I enjoyed the game. It's one thing for them to have steep system requirements, but what is the point when performance is lousy no matter whether you meet the minimum or recommended specs?

It's not necessary linked. Morrowind didn't suffer because of that.

Are there other factors? Sure there are. Bugs, glitches, etc. But I gave up on the Witcher even though the game is very stable. Why? Performance issues. I was so frustrated with tinkering around to get a playable frame rate that I quit. I might play it again but only when I get a better machine.
And whenever I read about open-world games, I hear a lot of complaints of performance issues. These games want to remain open-world, and at the same time, focus on better graphics. All this just leads to crappy performance. How can a game be enjoyable when performance isn't stable? I'm sure not going to enjoy it when performance goes from smooth to slideshow-fest.
It may sound like me nit-picking here, but I consider performance and stability as important as the other aspects of a game.

I understand that. I lower my resolution a notch to get a better performance too. I can live with bad graphics, but the game has to run smooth. That's much more important.

I like openworld games as I can play them later when I have a computer that can handle the game easily and there are enough patches to fix most o the bugs. I update my computer so rarely that I can't play the new high-graphics games most of the time. Right now I can't play most of the games that will be released and I couldn't play CoD 4 or The Witcher.
Other FPS:s just aren't as good as openworlded.

Farcry is one of the best shooting game i ever played. it allows you to have a better grasp on real life weapons!!!

As for Far Cry 2, I have to admit I am somewhat interested in it after watching some of it's gameplay videos.

maybe because you are into more futuristic game... we have different preferences in gaming.... but i must admit HL2 is one hell of a game.. it has this touch of addictive multiplayer... bu Farcry2 has its own identitiy.. and it rocks!!!

I'm fine with any setting, be they WW2, past, present or the future. It's just that I didn't find Far Cry that appealing compared to other shooters released during that same period, such as Half Life 2.

Bad weapon design and bad sound effects, the same problem was in Battefield 1942. Quote: |
