[quote name='DirkBelig']Me, too. It kills me that this is $5 now (and has been before) when I dropped $50 for it the day it came out and rapidly got bored of driving all the hell over the map, watching the GPS for diamonds, etc. The level editor was sheer genius and should've spawn a rich online community, but noooooooooooooooooooo!!!
Would it be possible for the nimrods who can't stop sneering,
"It's a console port," at every game which has the misfortune of being released on both consoles and PC to shut the
ing
up?!?!??
I swear, there are few things stupider that I have to read on teh Intarwebz than this specious drivel. No matter how customizable the controls are; no matter how much higher resolution the graphics are or faster the load times; no matter whether it can be modded or not; any time a game launches on console and PC, the morons are out in force bitching that whatever game it is is somehow defective because it exists on consoles, too. Was Fallout 3 "just a port"? How about The Orange Box? Hmmmm?
While there have been some bad examples of lazy publishers porting the PS2 version of games (when there were PS3/X360 versions with better visuals) and some games are so half-assed on the PC - I'm looking at you FEAR 2: Project Origin and your inability to bind mouse side buttons and generally stupid key layout - that it
almost lends credibility to the whiners complaints; automatically dismissing the PC version of a multi-platform game as "just a port" is a sign that the poster is more interested in being dismissive than intelligent.[/QUOTE]
Firstly,
...This game is actually one of the prettier games from 2008 for PC and I found it fun and open-ended, so I don't get that sentiment either, and I can't stand that sort of mentality about games in general, that "Meh, elitest yadda yadda, I only play 7% of games that are released" when a game that 4 out of 5 people enjoyed, sometimes that one person isn't criticizing it for taste, but for what they deem quality. I'm the other way around. I don't like turn based games, but like hell I'm not gonna slap a "shitty" label on KOTOR because it's partially turn based. I will give credit where due, and say a game's not my style (I like fully real time only I've learned)....So, just adding to your rant I guess, and I know I'm cynical in other areas of life, so I'm far from perfect...
Secondly, I played and beat the first Far Cry 3 times on multiple computers ever since 2005, I love that game. I see this as having little to do with it because of the play style, and while it's not as good for its time, $5 is worth it.
I just don't have the Fortunes pack, and I'm not sure what the hell's in that, or if it's worth it. Amazon's page had nothing on it (just looked) and reading on the web will tell me what it is, but asking gamers I trust if it's worth it is better, so... But really, for $5, can you really be ripped off much?
