[QUOTE="sirkibble2"]That's because DVD's are using all the resources at maximum. You can't compare DVD to video games in the argument.sirkibble2

i wasn't comparing the two, I was using DVD's to prove that SD is capable of showing alot of detail.

[QUOTE="sirkibble2"]I don't think you thought this out very well, TC...Squeets

And why is that?

Please add me to the list:

Regarding the Gamepro review: The default control is for the grenade to land where you are pointing. The trowing motion just triggers the toss (an this can be remapped to a button). Intensity of the throw does not affect distance. If you point off in the distance it goes far. If you point a few feet infront of you it goes there, no matter how hard you waggle. Now lets see the problem he had withthe controls:

"...grenade throwing and melee-to motion controls but even my grandmother knows that that was a dumb move. You make a throwing motion to toss a grenade and how hard you swing dictates how far it flies. But it's not an exact science, meaning your explosive either flies over your enemy's head or lands five feet in front of them."

So he played the entire game and every time he tossed a grenade it was landing where he was (randomly) pointing but he did not realize that is how the control works, and thought wrongly that distance was mapped to waggle intensity. Then he got frustrated at the inaccurate waggle.

This is not a matter of opinion, or different preferences. His review is factually incorrect.

SOLVED! My friend and I both had the same problem. So I tried launching the game directly from the game folder (c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\farcry\bin32\) instead of Steam, and got an error that shed some light on the issue: "Unable To Locate Component : This application has failed to start because MSVCP71.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." The problem is that Microsoft's C++ runtime library isn't where it should be. Solution: Find "msvcp71.dll" & "msvcr71.dll" elsewhere on your computer and copy those files into c:\windows\system32\ I'm not sure if you need both of them, but it doesn't hurt. At least get msvcp71.dll. Tip: I found these by searching using Windows Search (Start Menu, Search...) and including system files. Turns out several other steam games have these in their folders... like IL 2 Sturmovik 1946... and Assassin's Creed... and Red Orchestra... and Titan Quest. Any copy should do it. Then try launching the game again.AnakiMana

Thank you! You solved my problem. I tried a lot of other advice that did not work but this makes it work.

My problem wasFarCry was notbooting, no error message, just nothing after hitting launch. One of the files was in the c:\windows\system32\ directory but the other was not. After copying missing one it works perfectly. (Steam version of FarCry, Windows XP 32 bit, AMD Athalon 64, Nvidia 9500GT).

By "this time in its life cycle" they mean the Xth month. So with the MGS4 boost, $100 gift cards, 80GB bundle avaialility, this put them over a noneventful PS2 month for one month. Liftime to date PS3 is WAY behind PS2, in fact it battling neck to neck with Gamecube sales.

You can GET RE4 for $8 now at Toys R Us. Make sure you check the price at the register even if it is not labled as $8. If They don' t have it in stock go to customer service and have them check inventory in other stores in your area. I picked up 2 copies yesterday for my friends since I already have a copy that cost me $30.

Edit: It is the Wii version by the way, don't buy a gamecube version. The Wii version has exra content over Gamecube and has the optoin to play with gamecube controlls if for some reason you want to. Don't buy the PS2 version it has a significant graphical downgrade.

Honestly, I'm surprised. I thought for sure 360 would win this month and read an article about a week ago saying it was on pace to do so....huh go figureshadow8585
