It was pretty infuriating imo. lol. I wasn't a combat character, so you can imagine...

I believe it is only triggered when you kill the last hostile within range. So if you're in an extended firefight, it's not going to go off until the last target drops. Thanks for the answer. If it's not seen after every kill, when is it seen? After critical hit kills? How does it work? Ever play Jedi Knight 2-3? Assassin's Creed 2?Triggers randomly most likely. Also honestly I haven't played either of those games. It sounds reasonable but why "believe", while you are the project director? ...I guess this is probably a question about developing process. Why not believe? Would he lie to us? He's also lead designer.

If it's not seen after every kill, when is it seen? After critical hit kills? How does it work?

We're just pointing out your complaint/reason not to get the game doesn't really make any sense. Think about it. Lots of people in the internet. Lots of jokes about the game made every day. Lots of potential customers, and also lots of people who spread misinformation. Obsidian couldn't keep track/do something about it all.

There's nothing Obsidian can do about random person #2743 making a joke. I guess you'd have a point if a developer was making that kind of joke in an official group, but that's not the case here. Here, I'll make a joke too: GUYS!!!! new vegas delayed because the office exploded! I guess Obsidian has to do something about this, too?

Got myself The Witcher!

Where's it from?

As long as it's purpose isn't making the game considerably easier anymore, then it's alright to always have it I guess.

Absolutely huge sale going on from June 24th to July 4th: Perils of Summer

Just want to add that I do understand exactly why Far Cry is frustrating. I'm sure it's way past the line. It's just the only game I can think of right now to make the point.

This topic was inspired by the fact that I've been playing through Far Cry on realistic for the past couple of weeks (I'm on chapter 9 out of 20 right now), and it is considered a frustrating game by most because it often delivers ambushes that rely on memorization and replay rather than stealth or skill. But I've been thinking about this and from the games I've played so far, I've never seen a "challenging" game in which you didn't rely on memorization and/or knowledge of what's ahead of you. In the end, you always succeed because you knew exactly what to expect, and had time to properly prepare for it. System Shock 2 is widely considered a challenging game (I also love it very much, don't flame me), but if you don't pull off a correct character build, you are eventually going to be harshly punished for it, and the game might just become unplayable. The first time through can be brutal. Then why is it not a frustrating game? What makes it challenging instead? When you go through it for the 2nd time, you only do well because you knew what to expect from the game. Or you just die so much at some point you end up learning precisely how to go through that particular section, but again only because you knew exactly what you were up against. So my question is, why are some games regarded as "challenging" and others as "frustrating", when you always end up succeeding mostly because you know what's ahead of you? Where's the line that separates challenging games from frustrating ones?

VATS shouldn't be something you can use for every situation. I think removing damage reduction would properly fix that. I would also think an agility requirement (7+) would be fine. Or make it a perk or something.

I, for one, am pretty desperate for screenshots/videos/ANYTHING.

Not sure why that is. Doesn't seem to be Steam, but try this just in case: Right click on the game in your games list -> Properties -> Local Files -> Verify integrity of game cache. It checks whether or not there are corrupted/missing files in your game and redownloads them.

Wow. Yeah that was the reason for the problem.

Yeah I've never had trouble running Valve games even on older computers. I imagine this will be the same.

Started playing Far Cry on REALISTIC today! I managed to reach the Pier level before deciding it was time to sleep! It took me HOURS to get where I am now. The most difficult parts of the game so far for me were the top of the carrier and the fort. But I'm having fun, enjoying it so far!

Sounds perfect to me How long has this Onyx engine of yours been in development though?

You don't really *have* to do a stealthy playthrough, you know.

Music from the trailer available now. **** yeah I say.

I have WCIII + Frozen Throne but believe it or not, I never played online. I did, however, play through the WCIII campaign on HARD, and I've managed to do so without cheating. The ONLY level I truly couldn't beat on hard was the very last one, Twilight of the Gods. I swear it's impossible. I gave up after dozens of attempts. Because of that I haven't played TFT on hard. I refused to simply skip the level I couldn't beat, and then I stopped playing completely. D:

There's always graphics to complain about. But who cares at this point? Game looking awesome. Hopefully not too many bugs

The ! Yaaaaaaaay!

Well that didn't last long...
