Summary

Beyond the reach of civilization lies a lawless island ruled by violence. This is where you find yourself stranded, caught in a bloody conflict between psychotic warlords and indigenous rebels. Struggling to survive, your only hope of escape is through the muzzle of a gun. Discover the island’s dark secrets and take the fight to the enemy; improvise and use your environment to your advantage; and outwit its cast of ruthless, deranged inhabitants. Beware the beauty and mystery of this island of insanity… You’ll need more than luck to escape alive.

What is up with the region restricted games recently? First assassins creed III, then scribblenauts and now this. Seriously. :V

I have Far Cry 2 and I love sniping and using stealth.

From w hat I've seen Stealth is a bit more practical in Far Cry 3.

You can use your camera to 'tag' enemies and then see them on your minimap and HUD. Then you can use your skill points to unlock new "takedowns" which are basically like stealth kills.

I'm extremely excited for FC3, and I don't know why. It's not something I'd typically be interested in but the stealth aspects and open-world aspects just draw me. It's like the lovechild of Just Cause and Dishonored.

The original Far Cry was released before Just Cause 1 or Dishonoured. It was pretty much the first open-world shooter game. Just Cause and Dishonoured are more adapatations of Far Cry.

I don't doubt it, I'm only saying that FC3 bears resemblances to both Dishonored and Just Cause.

but it's more far cry than anything else. anyway, does anyone know the exact hour it releases?
