I just finished farcy 3 bout a day before crysis 3 came out and I'm afraid to say I believe that far cry 3 is a lot better.
Just something about it makes me like far cry a lot more, I've played both the series since they came out long time ago and felt always competing on graphics.
Both games are good but graphics I found far cry was just that little bit better, main thing I noticed was, when I play these I'm stealthy not gun ho if I want to do that I'll carry on with cod, and you hide in grass and foliage a lot when stealthy and to me I find the grass in crysis 3 abit poo, where as farcy it looks awesome. Scenery in the distance crysis looks really good and far cry it looks good also but again I feel far cry pulled it off better mabe just because it was tropic islands I dunno lol.
I've run both games at very high settings aswell.
Overall game play completely different I know but farcy felt better and more exiting and fun free roaming idea like dead island was awesome do what you want not, you must go here and do this come on chop chop.
Must admit tho the bow in crysis 3 looks way better then in far cry even tho it's a more futuristic one.
What do you peeps think?
