i remember when the first far cry came out, it was a benchmark game, along with doom 3. i had a ati 9800 pro and was able to max it out, and that was the first time i had a top of the line pc in years so i was blown away. kind of the same thing that happened with all my pcs come to think of it from a kid on. get a top of the line, highish end machine... then sit on it for like ten years before upgrading. granted i was also a big console gamer, so a high end gaming pc wasnt a need.
anyway... overall i dig the far cry series. one of, if not ubis only worth while series imo(funny it wasnt an ip). i didnt care for 2, but 3 was fun and addictive, though ubis penchant for scattering the map with endless bs did take its toll so when i tried blood dragon i just couldnt get into it, not being in the mood for more of the same. 4s been on my list but i put it off for the same reason i put blood dragon down. ill probably just skip to 5 since it looks and sounds more interesting.
i heard fc5 takes a different approach and isnt littered with mindless filler like the past games. ill be playing on pc with a gtx 1080 so im looking forward to seeing how it looks. based on bench marks it should be far less demanding than FFXV which im still playing now.
