Far Cry 3 Gameplay Trailer Burns Down the House

- Start date
Yep, the first-person semi-interactive scripted sequence has now become the new unskippable cutscene. What was a major leap forward in the Half-Life days has now become boring and unimpressive. I think it's about time for a different kind of story presentation to evolve in video games.
Players like movies. Movies have stories. FC3 needs to have slow boring on-rails segments.
Right?
Right?
There is a distinct lack of bullets, mutants and running down wildlife in a jeep in this trailer for my liking.
Gotta reserve judgment until the games comes out I suppose, as long as this is an early story building segment, the dude shuts the fuck up, and the game even remotely resembles the awesome first two Far Cry games, it'll still be enjoyable.

With the carefree atmosphere in a tropical paradise setting Farcry is my favorite campaign FPS hands down. Far Cry 2 was a disappointment (to put it mildly), but 3 is once again set in a jungle, enough to sell it for me.
dint like the first game, never bothered to get part 2, even when it was very cheap on steam yesterday, and i highly doubt i will get this installment as well. the fire sure looked good so as the environment but not convinced at all. give it miss like i did before.
Lisa. Lisaaaaaaaaa. Man I sure am I funny protagonist who talks to the audien-I mean myself a lot. Oh wait fire, yea cough. Cough cough. Did I win GOTY voice actor yet?
I kinda liked Farcry 2, if a bit repetitious, but holy jeez this game looks like trash. Its sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
generic. I don't normally use that many Os.
1. Why does he have his gun out? Takes away all immersion of the situation. And what idiot just shoots a fire extinguisher? Yea it might be hot, but if you shoot it the chance of it spraying its contents directly in your desired path is impossible.
2.Why doesn't he have ARMS WHEN HE CLIMBS THE LADDER. This isn't 2000. We have games that look better than real life, the least you could do is have the player not being a floating gun attached to a camera. Seriously, F all the games that do this.
3. The fire looked so static and scripted I was bored of looking at it. There was no tension. You could probably set the controller down and nothing would happen (the character might go "lisaaaa" every 10 seconds though).
4. I know its a heavily scripted event, but the lack of gameplay is abysmal. "Shoot a fire extinguisher! You can't do that in any game but this! Innovation!". This game looks like it took its queues from a ps3 launch title. And not the good ones. And I've seen other videos, the multiplayer looks identical to Call of Duty.

everyone comments on all the other stuff... what i want to know... in the end of the video, what was chasing them, you only see it for a moment, and it must be scary because i don't they were just running away from the burning building.
OHHH THRILLING!TopazFusion said:
Im guessing they are monsters like in the other farcry game... or maybe running zombies, because both of them options suck, and that seems to be the direction they are going in.
It's so scripted, linear and frustrating because the protagonist has a voice. God I hate these "Hollywood cinematic experience" FPS. Just let us play in a non-linear setting using non-linear methods. If I wanted a movie I'd watch a damn movie.
I love the last two games as well, but they weren't filled with scripted cinematic events. Everything they showed us about this game so far indicates that it's a heavily scripted experience.Knife-28 said:

OT: I actually like heavily scripted "watch your character do this" sequences if they're done well, I certainly prefer them to cutscenes and nobody ever complained about them. That said, this one wasn't done so well.
