AC3 or FC3

If I didnt own either I would probably choose AC3 because I have enjoyed the franchise more than the far cry series. However I do own FC3 and vouch for its awesome-ness I would highly recommend it yet at the same time i dont own nor played AC3 so i wouldnt like to compare.

...i hope that helped :/

FC3 without a doubt

FC3

Have to go with the majority here and choose FC3 as well. I've played both, albeit not extensively, but I definitely enjoyed FC3 a lot more than AC3. Dunno how much time I wasted hunting, haha.

I have AC3, and i'd say AC3, because i love the series :P

AC-3
Old school Bomber/Transports ftw!!!

FC3, PLEASE

I own both, and love the AC series (though it frustrates me sometimes) and had no relation to Far Cry before a friend bought me FC3. I haven't actually played AC3 yet though, as I still haven't finished Revelations. I really like FC3, but if I hadn't played it I would have chosen AC3 first because of my history with the series. But I got that one for 'free' too, complimentary with the graphics card in my new PC.

neither

I haven't played FC3 but I can definitely recommend AC3, I may be a little more impressed than most people because I jumped straight from AC2 to AC3 and then later bought Brotherhood and Revelations on sale (still haven't really gotten around to playing them).

Imo what AC3 lacked in setting (Colonial America isn't much to look at) it completely makes up for in graphical prowess, general fluidity, and in my opinion much more interesting characters (Haytham needs his own game).

Far Cry 3, for sure.

AC3, Didn't really hear good things about FC3 so far.

AC3 :)

farcry 3, you'll probably get more playtime out of it.

I own both, I say get FC3

You will get performance disappointment with AC3, fps tanks, sucks, horrible. Stuttering is bad as hell, you'll get annoyed playing it even fraps is saying your running it with 40fps
