I bought it sometime ago dirt cheap.
It's a funny game.

If you can get it very cheap, why not.

GLD · Jun 22, 2016

LIMBO...Free on Steam for a day, today, June 21-22.

Do you like simulators? Basically you build a prison where the prisoners are variable and you're job is to either beat them into submission or keep them happy enough they don't revolt (then beat them into submission). I liked the campaign a lot (if memory serves, it is six maps and maybe 10-15 hours worth of gameplay) and I think it is worth it if only for the campaign. Sandbox can get boring relatively quickly though because, like any simulator, you're only driven by your own goals (e.g. lots of inmates, fancy cells for everyone, solitary for everyone, high security prisoners only, etc.).

As far as simulators go, it's probably somewhere in the top 10. They really thought of everything and there's enough variability to keep you on your toes (e.g. contraband, digging tunnels, escape attempts, etc.).

That better not be a ploy by Ubisoft to get us to download their annoying UPlay platform just for the sake of getting free games in return. If that's the case, then they can just keep em!!

I fail to see why so many people think it's annoying. I mean, seriously confused. It operates more smoothly and stable than Steam ever has. At least every two weeks Steam won't connect. This doesn't happen with Uplay for me.

Plus it allows screenshots (unlike Origin), and they also are not a closed platform, selling for games on Steam and Origin (unlike closed platform Origin). Seems to me, the only one anyone should be hating on is Origin. Just my two cents tho.

happita · Jun 22, 2016

I should have clarified my response a little more.

It's not that it's a "bad" platform, it's just that I don't want to keep going back and forth with so many different platforms of game distributors. Steam and GOG is enough for me. Granted, I DO have Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon on Uplay and Battlefield 3 & 4 on Origin. Now that I've played those games to my heart's content, I don't intend on reinstalling them ever again.
I don't intend on buying anything else for those platforms just because it's less hassle for me to remember 4-5 different passwords for those programs. Some might call it lazy, I'll call it efficient and leave it at that

peche · Jun 22, 2016

i also like gaming on 1 platform, i love steam, i wish BF4 and 3 were available there, i also own farcry games for steam, 1, 2, 3 and blood dragon,

Regards,

happita · Jun 22, 2016

I'll eventually cave in for Far Cry 4 and all it's DLC, hoping that it reaches that pretty $10 mark and then it's all bets are off.
A password reset, and I'll be occupied for the next 3 months again

Does FC work on windows 10?
Did it work on 8.1 for you?

On steam I read:
"Supported OS: Windows 2000/XP (only)"

I played Far Cry (1) on 8.1, and it installs and starts up on 10. I haven't played it though to see if it works. I see no reason why it wouldn't.

I used to play Far Cry as well on older machines.
I don't have FC1 anymore, I liked it but never bought it again because I read on Steam:
"Supported OS: Windows 2000/XP (only)"

Good to know it works

peche · Jun 22, 2016

i have played far cry 1 on Windows 7 and win10, the unique spot so far, windows seems to have problems with audio there was kinda delay on some scenes from the game, audio delayed on sniper rifle and some other sounds like explosions, like beackground game sounds when using visor or whatever its named....

64K · Jun 22, 2016

For anyone that wants to play Far Cry 1 again and has issues with the Steam version it is also available on GOG and they get their games to run on XP through Win 10. Money back guarantee (30 day). Another really good game from the same year is Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. It wouldn't even load on my Steam copy but ran fine from the GOG copy that I got on the last sale. It already comes with the lastest Wesp mod loaded too. GOG really does go the extra mile for gamers.

peche · Jun 22, 2016

i have the game from steam, also my be something about my w10 drivers... cause on WOW i have the same issues,
not complaining, just telling my issue, i still play those games with the crappy issues...

It's not bad, none of them are really. Since the free game trend has started on the different platforms I have 2 accounts of each, Steam/Origin/Uplay. A different account for my 2 different PC's. I don't like keeping all my eggs in one basket so to speak. A lot of the older games play just fine on the AM1 rig that I am on most of the time. Cheers to free games and a power sipping APU. :toast:
