FarCry

I must have installed FarCry about 20 times till now.
The game that everyone heralds as one of the best shooters for PC, which started off as a tech demo called The Beach by German outfit Crytek.
Problem is, I hate the game! I've tried tons of times to play it but I just get fed up and bored with the so-called clever AI.
This morning, with a sudden urge of FPS-addiction (I haven't got any fps to play these days, all i've been playing is killer7 on gamecube and burnout revenge on xbox), I dediced to install farcry yet again.
I'm gonna give it a chance, honestly. Let's hope the damn thing is worth it.
If it isn't, there's always FEAR and Quake4 next week (I pre-ordered quake from amazon. I think it's only fair to buy it since I own q3a and I've played so many id games but only paid for one ;)

So, it's finished installing now and I'm gonna patch it up to the latest version and let's see if it captivates me this time round. Fingers crossed.

EDIT (10:25am): I'm hating it already. Why? cos farcry uses the age-old technique of step patching. I'll explain: The latest version is 1.33, so I downloaded that patch, but ofcourse it won't work cos it wanted me to patch up to version 1.31 first. OK, so I downloaded that patch, and that didn't work cos it wanted me to patch up to version 1.3 first. Now I've got that patch and it's finally agreed to dish its dirt. So, after downloading about 200mbytes of patches, and patching 3 times, let's see if the damn thing works. I presume I'm gonna need a nocd crack also. Sigh.
