Far Cry Update/Patch XBOX 360
Anyone who owns Far Cry 2 on the XBOX may well have encountered the complete bugger of a glitch that corrupts your save file so you can’t play any further. I don’t know if this one appears on the PC/PS3 versions, but I was quite angry and annoyed that it had affected my copy. I love the game and it was one of the first I played on my XBOX when I first got it in October. Well, I stopped playing after wasting quite a few hours and reading about the bug, but I’ve been checking the Far Cry 2 site every few days and two days ago they released a patch that is supposed to cure some (but not all) of the instances in which the save bug may occur. Apparently it has been difficult for the developers first to locate then to eliminate because it can come about in different ways. Here’s hoping it’ll allow me to play the game though. I would have thought they could have located this problem in play testing before shipping the product, but who knows, really? sure, it is essentially a broken product when you buy it (so many people have complained about this bug) but perhaps now it’s on the mend. There may be a follow-up post, only time will tell if it’ll be a positive or negative!
Got me an X Box!
The reason I made no blog/s yesterday was because I’d gone out to do a spot of Christmas shopping (which was more than a spot, really) and for a bit of retail therapy by buying myself an X box 360. We’d had a look in Game’s window on Friday night as we walked past and spotted the 60gb hard drive premium model with Far Cry 2 and Gears of War 1 & 2 for £189 but I thought I’d better have a shop around to make sure there wasn’t anything cheaper.
