Re: farcry areas?

They're in the US Home for sure and not the European one. If you have a US account then you can you jump right into the US Home although it may require you to re-download the areas i the UK one when you use that again. It happened to me

Re: farcry areas?

For now anyway. It's coming the same time as the Uncharted one but they need to work on them before releasing them here.

When i tried the US Versions, they are very small and should hold no more than 10 people at a time yet it's still taking 50 people (plus 14 reserved spaces) and it makes it unusable and everyone walking through each other so i hope that's getting fixed 1st

Re: farcry areas?

Is there anything special in the FarCry area?

No, I thought it was a bit of a disappointment to be honest. The upstairs room felt creepy as there's no ambient noise (first time I was there I thought my amp had broke!). The station area is okay I guess - the outside looks pretty realistic (as it's a dump!).

There's a couple of security doors on the Uncharted area where you need to put in a special code to unlock them - I couldn't be bothered to explore though. The bar isn't really big enough for 50 people at once - and it's full of Americans.

Re: farcry areas?

Do we have an ETA or anything for FarCry 2/Uncharted GameSpaces in Europe? I've got a US account, but I'm quite attached to my avatar (and Pac-Man T-shirt!) in EU Home, I don't think I can be bothered to set it all up again for US!

These are in the EU one now. Went on last night.

Nothing in there really, unless I missed something.

Re: farcry areas?

It is a bit of a disapointment. I would not bother downloading it and i will not be going there again.

If you go to your saved game data you can copy the HOME saved data to all your other accoounts eg US account and then your avatar will have the same clothes and body/hair etc etc

Re: farcry areas?

Press start and get your PDA up. Go to the locations tab and it will appear along with the red bull Area and all the previous areas
