Nevermind Hitman. Far Cry is out in the UK, and here, too if you know how to deal with steam through a VPN. The bad news? I'm finally being crippled by my CPU and not my GPU. Even an i7 gets maxed.

The graphics are at least as good as Crysis graphics and much more playable.

Makes me want to go on a vacation... just not anywhere with pirates.
 
Picture yourself hiding in the jungle. You're using binoculars to scout targets at a nearby stronghold and just when you think you're safe and you choose to line up a shot, you hear a growl lurking in the tall grass..

Wham! Owned by a tiger!

Poor poor ps3..
It's unfortunate that the consoles are only hitting 14fps in some areas.

It can be observed that the xbox is superior to the ps3 in both performance and visuals, but I wasn't even prepared for the night and day difference between the consoles and the pc. 05:30 to 06:36 is incredibly telling. Even just the frame tearing was obnoxious.

EDIT: WTF. Why do I have to be the pc technician that can't embed a youtube vid if his life depended on it.

Maybe my new Xeon proc. will be here today! I'm finally going quad, I'm expecting a solid fps increase.

I hope you guys are having just as hard a time putting this game away as I am. Went to play today (still in single player campaign) at about 5pm, looked up and its damn near 4am. Lol game is highly addicting.
 
The new quad-xeon is up and running 450fsb x 8.0 @ 1.288vcore (vdroop accounted for). Temps never get over 48C. Not bad for just firing the thing up in an old P35 board and slapping on a TRUE.

Easy 5+fps gain on all minimum fps readings and now I'm pleasantly experiencing zero stutter (I guess I had minor microstuttering before, cause I noticed the smoothness immediately) all the way up to a refresh rate capped 60fps.

Now I need to craft more fire arrows!
 
Far Cry 3 is probably my favorite game ever. No lie, not exaggerating. The setting is one of the best elements of the game. The animals, all that jungle, the weapons, it's all like a dream. I have to replay it now, argh!
