0:00 This video is brought to you by the Corsair Obsidian 350D MicroATX case.
0:04 Exceptional expansion and cooling flexibility for compact, high
0:08 performance PCs. Visit Corsair.com/obsidian to learn more. So,
0:12 you want to know how to benchmark Far Cry 3 just like Slick? Stay tuned. and
0:16 he is going to show you step by step how to complete our run of Far Cry 3 Blood
0:22 Dragon, which is a specific type of Far Cry 3 that is different from the other
0:27 kinds of Far Cry 3, especially the tracking thing. So, basically, you blow
0:32 this guy away and then he'll tell you the rest because I am completely
0:36 unsuitable for these sorts of videos because I am not good at headshotting
0:41 and apparently all of our runs now involve headshotting. So, I think that's
0:45 his way of making sure his job is very secure because if he just makes it so
0:48 that I actually can't do any of the runs, then uh yeah, I I can never fire
0:54 him for
0:58 real. So, Slick got fired. So, uh I
1:01 guess it looks like I'll have to do the gameplay video myself. Actually, I lied.
1:05 He's uh he's just sick. So, anyway, you get into this little base thing. You got
1:10 to headshot the dudes. Make sure you headshot all the dudes. This see this
1:14 this slick. This is why I can't do these
1:17 anymore because you just make it sort of unfair. Okay, that one's not a head
1:21 shot, but it's like a high chest shot. Now guys, this is really important. You
1:25 got to spin up the minigun before you come around this corner cuz these big dudes will do a number on you if you
1:30 don't make sure that you clear them reasonably quickly. Okay, so here we go.
1:35 Going to keep going. Switching to the minigun. The minigun is important to monitor your ammunition. So, Slick tries
1:41 to expel 700 rounds of ammunition. Wow, this is
1:47 getting dirty really quickly. Uh, every time he does the run through because
1:51 that way there's some consistency to the amount of particle effect nonsense that
1:56 goes on. So, guys will start spawning and coming in from behind you. Again,
2:00 make sure you take out the big guys because they will cause real problems
2:03 for you. They will make you die. Because this is an 80s themed game, there's no
2:07 regenerating health. So, you actually have to make sure that you don't
2:10 legitimately die because we're trying not to do things inconsistently, like
2:14 apply a medkit one time and then not do it another time. So, here we go back
2:19 into the main room. There were some complaints that the Bioshock Infinite
2:23 benchmark run through didn't have enough action. So hopefully that has all been
2:28 addressed this time around because pretty much the entire thing is fighting
2:32 and blasting stuff. Here we go. So this is the, you know, keeping the particle
2:36 effects up at the end of the benchmark.
2:39 Okay, so now you switch back to the shotgun. Go ahead and hit this thing
2:46 twice. Prototypes destroyed. Jump over here. And by the time you get to the
2:50 stairs, you'll be be you'll be pretty
2:53 much at the end of the benchmark. Thanks for tuning in. And it's back to me from
2:57 me
3:05 now. Oh, cool. He did like an automatic
3:09 like Yeah, if you land on top of them, he'll kill him. I got mad skills so that
3:13 I don't even have to know what I'm supposed to do. Ching gun. Anyway, so
3:19 this is why uh actually we we lied before. Slick is not fired. And uh what
3:24 you're witnessing right now is why we don't have me do our video game benchmark runs anymore because I clearly
3:29 have no idea what I'm
3:33 doing. Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more unboxings,
