I remember Halo 2 for Xbox being the last game that really pushed the Xbox harware to it's limit (so some claim), or to it's full potential. I wouldn't doubt that this game is pushing current gen to the max. I am just surprised it took 7 years to do so.

@fede_pyro LOL at the Hulk Hogan look.

@zneno Well, to be quite honest, something that you think is relevant may be irrelevant to the next person reading it.

I am just speculating here, but I think this game is already done. I have a feeling that they are hoping to dump some systems with this title before they release the PS4, and that is why the game is not going to release for another 6 months. Lots of 360s sold just recently just for Halo4. Maybe they are hoping for a similar push of stockpiled PS3s. I am probably wrong, but like I said, I am just speculating.

@shadow580 My point is only that those games aren't very demanding on most modern rigs because they run on Dx9. That is all.

@shadow580 Borderlands 2 only runs Dx9, and so do COD games.

@gamefreak215jd @neuroboy @D3nnyCrane @Kaz32 I didn't mind it so much in FC2. It actually breaks up the monotony of driving to and fro. I can understand how it can be frustrating for some, but what was more annoying than the respawns to me was that the enemies were total bullet sponges. There is a mod that makes em go down much easier, but it takes it to the other extreme IMO.

@original_elite "Certain missions feature respawning enemies,"

Not for the whole game, only a few story missions is what it sounds like. They realized that respawning guard camps is one of the things that hampered the experience in FC2. You can liberate or capture them now, so that the checkpoints become safe havens. Didn't you read the review?

@neuroboy Something tells me if you can spend hours roaming Skyrim, you won't have much trouble enjoying the same in Far Cry 3.

@emilio721 The game released in Europe several days ago.
