Hopefully Far Cry 3′s ending won't be quite so awful.

I hope there's no supernatural crap and time-travelling stuff all along either...  ???

IIRC, they confirmed there won't be mutants/aliens/monsters in FC3.

Glad to hear they are keeping it real so to speak. It was one of the things that made FC2 a great game and a refreshing change from the majority of FPS games.

I think thats why I preferred Far Cry in africa, no aliens or freakin trigens (sp?).

You are correct, they confirmed that but you never know... if they are taking a few cues from LOST then, well, you know, the whole mystery, smoke monster, others...  ????

Gimme twisted minded merciless mercenaries but don`t give me supernatural crap... not on Far Cry, at least. I can handle that sort of stuff in other games, but not on my Far Cry!  :-\\

[admin]For readability reasons, I pruned all those quotes (particularly those that had quotes inside quotes) to a minimum. If you reply to the last post there is no need to quote it. If someone else quoted someone and you quote that, just cut down the quote to the actual reply by removing inside quotes. Much, much easier to follow. This topic had 2/3 of quotes and 1/3 of new content. Thanks, guys  :)[/admin]

Thanks, guys  :)

Can you imagine what a pile of suck FC2 would have been if the jackal had sprouted green antennae and got beamed back up to the mothership at the end of the game?!  ^+-+

Indeed - I probably never would have even considered the game had it contained any kind of fantasy element.  I remember what sold me on FC2 - a video of a view through the Dragunov scope trained on the head of a merc walking down a town street.  It was so realistic compared to most other video games I'd seen that I was instantly hooked.  Dirty streets and buildings - even dirtier mercs, and not a monster in sight.

Agreed Fiach - I too  really enjoy the African setting - perfect for a solitary hero doing dirty deeds throughout the countryside.

I couldn't stand it if they went back to mutated monkeys and all that guff. I really, really, really hope they won't be tempted to, but I don't think they will. I really don't think they will. They won't, surely. They won't. They better not...

Is that not the Wizard of Oz?

Those guys freaked me out when I was a kid . . .  :-[

FarCry is about the raw truth... no voodoo or zombie or whatever creep will mess that up, can't believe that. Resident Evil did a great job exploring that particular side of Africa, they won't copy that. But speaking of islands... They say the whole thing is situated on an island, don't they? I hope it's still big... I love the endlessness of the wilderness in FC2. Let it be a BIG island, or some BIG islands, or lots of BIG islands.

[Art Blade]

Let's call Australia a "big island" and I'm all in.  :-()

[ninzza]

If FC4 set in Australia, it'd be cool  :-X

[PZ]

That would be a great setting - lots of varied terrain and hostile environments.  :-X

... and fragger going "did I ever tell you the definition of Aussie ?"  ;D

 :-D I'm just picturing this: The madman and fragger at that ledge staring each other in the eye, repeating their line over and over again, with a grim expression on their faces.  ^+-+

I probably would, too :-()
