WHY SO HARD?!?!?!?! (And other miscallaneous subjects)

[gabbidavy]

Why is this game so crushingly difficult?! I'm playing the game on Easy Mode because I just started playing last night, but it's incredibly hard! And also, I've heard that the enemies in Farcry can see through walls. Is that true? And if it is, is there a way to fix it without mods?

[xXBigDadXx]

Yes it’s hard. I play on medium and I need to repeat some parts of the game at least few times. Enemies can’t see through the walls but they can see/shoot at you through tents which is very annoying (you have no idea where they are).

ya... I think this is WAY harder than it needs to be. I know this is an older game but I personaly believe that on easy I should NOT be able to die. It should be raining med kits and ammo! I started on easy and after die 30 times in the first 2 hours, I said eff it and moved on to easy. I only am playing because I bought 1/2/3 together. Can't wait to finish it. Not even a really great story. Just want to move on to 4... with weponzide elephants. Every game is better with weponized elephants!

i find this game to be one of my top 5 fav games of all time . perhaps becuse of the hype i experinced in 2004 but i really like it becuse its one of the hardest fps games i know other then some type of fps pvp this is as hard as it gets . i like that. they dont make them like they use to. now and days erything is commercialized is easy as hell. even ubisoft sold out. FC4 is so easy and man the hype for that game. (still good game tho) sorry i just wanted to tell you guys i like it becuse of how hard it is on relisem .

I don't think Far Cry is *hard per-sa , it's just not like current games in which you have auto-generating health and shields /Armour.

You have to think things thru to a a larger degree than newer titles.
Fun in FarCry is thinking up new ways to mess with the enemy... it's a sandbox type game vs a liner shooter (Yes there are levels and there are things you need to do to unlock next level, point is you can use boat, buggy, Humvee, be on foot and take a different path to reach a objective..within reason.

Don't worry dude. It took me 3 hours to get by the first part but eventually you get good at it. You just have to practice and get the hang of it. (and then pray for luck when fighting the mutants which are impossible, but hey you'll win eventually :)

Mutants? There are MUTANTS?! When and where?!

[gabbidavy]

Found 'em.

If I am trying to blow something up to save Val and I just got out of the Treehouse Facility but not out of the level yet, how far am I? I think I'm at least 25% through the story.

thats, what the 6th level or 5th level, and there are 20. You think the game is hard now..........

It's called Far Cry for a reason.. It's a far cry from being easy..

[Russianhustle]

this game is really hard

[rresuggan]

i got the unofficial patch 1.4.1 which fixed the shooting through tents, and the game is playing just like it used too years ago, having played it before its playing fairly easy on normal but i know there are really hard bits to come (dam and volcano come to mind}

I'm having a problem with the STEAM version of FarCry (think it's v1.40) that I'm not having with the GOG.COM version.

Problem:
Flashing textures (Grass turns a very bright green while walking. VERY DISTRACTING)
Blue blocking /blocks appearing.


Anyone?

There's no such difficulty as normal in Far Cry.

*****************

Settings were all on LOW /default, turned up the settings /effect to med and only gets a hint of flashing on far off textures sometimes.
