Far Cry 3 speedrun completed in 3:44 Stereo 3D part 1/3
15Far Cry 3 segmented speedrun in 3:44, in stereo 3D, on survivor (medium) difficulty. To compensate for the double video, I recommend 1080p quality. The goal was to finish Far Cry 3 as quickly as possible.

If you have any issues playing back this video in 3D, you may be able to solve the problem by setting your 3D device to above/below playback.
Please select the appropriate 3D mode using the 3D icon at the bottom.
If you don't have a 3D device, the 2D version will give you better quality for your download: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB5MOq9Sm0I . (Or turn 3D off.)
No plugins or cheats were used, although I turned on the nVidia stereo crosshair (not available normally) for a sniping scene in part 2.
Cutscenes - including where no skill is required, other than to mash buttons the game tells you to push - were removed from this video.
Total time according to the mission clock: 3:44
Total video time: 3:46:49
(Yes, the two lengths can differ a bit.)
Total length of cutscenes removed: 1:56:58
Length of the above video (all 3 parts): 1:49:50
Sometimes you see Jason skip ahead a few seconds. Far Cry 3 has an autosave system where if you reload a fresh save, sometimes it places you ahead. I tried to find and utilise such opportunities.
Examples in part 1: 7:12, 8:14, 8:53. The largest such skip is probably at 13:13.
To turn this game into stereoscopic 3D, I used the the Far Cry 3 Helix mod. TriDef also has a FC3 profile. Please note that these 3D enhancements are not perfect and occasionally cause some interface elements to have incorrect depth.
TheVoid at SDA had some helpful comments that improved this Far Cry 3 run. Thanks Void :)
