agreed demos are just sparkly show off as much as possible to get buyers.

the average console user probably has a crappier comp than their console. the casuals are a problem but most revenue comes from them, its 2013 almost WHY DX9 WHY does it still exist.

Legacy. Not everyone lives in USA or UK where parts are relatively cheap. Think about all those gamers around Eastern Europe still rocking late DX9 cards or early DX10 cards (which incidentally couldn't play any DX10 games tongue.gif)

Hey I've been playing Far Cry 3 for wel over an hour now without a problem.
Only thing I did was relocate my mouse to a USB 2.0 slot.
It sounds weird but it kinda makes sense considering that in my case, after restarting the computer the mouse would never work.
After I unplugged it and replugged it would work again though.

Anyway that did get me to think.
I've had a whole washlist of problems with the Asrock Etron USB3 drivers and it may just be responsible for the far cry 3 bluescreens.
I'll just continue to play far cry 3 for a bit and if it doesn't crash in the next few hours i'm blaming Asrock rolleyes.gif

Fired up FC3 for the first time. Ultra @ 1440p and I'm not impressed in the slightest. I think BF3, Crysis 2 and modded Skyrim look much better. Animation all around is jerky and character models and vegetation just looks blocky. Don't quite understand what all the fuss was about.

I think FC3 is the best looking game out of all recent games, including BF3, Crysis etc. I dont understand how people can think otherwise :/

BF3 is still the best looking game . Farcry 3 does not even beat the legendary Crysis .

Explains why I played it and though ''hmm...I think crysis looked better'' + I really disliked that there was no interactivity with the environment (shooting trees and destructibility)

It's a good game overall, but not because it's visuals.

Edit. unskippable cut scenes aaargh mad.gif

It would be cool if they had the destructable buildings and trees, but I still don't like it when people keep comparing graphics of games to Crysis loaded with mods. If you are going to compare, it should be apples to apples. Crysis with no graphic mods does not look as good as a lot of games. It did at the time it came out, but not anymore.
