So I take it that was spot on?
Nuh-huh. AltogetherAndrews sold his 360 :usacry
About how long is FC2? I doubt the multiplayer servers will be active for long.
15-25 hours. Depends on how many of the side missions you do.Sounds like an amazing rental. I'm sure L4D will hit $30 in less than a year and people will probably play it for a while.
Touching a Ubisoft game again, Duck? Really? You?
What a dissapointment you are, you fraud.
Really?It's duckman, he loves being the contrarian underdog.
Altogether, it's nice to play a PC game in its full glory once in a while, isn't it?

This game wouldn't suck so much if the Hit detection and damage count wasn't so shitty, alongside the absurd level of repetition.

im with u wrika, uncha 4 lyfe
- I've done about four missions for the arms dealer and I'm getting some serious Just Cause/Assassin's Creed flashbacks since each mission has been the exact same thing (take out two assault jeeps and the big truck carrying supplies). Are the side missions all so similar?
- Now that I'm used to the controls (and turned off the crosshair), I'm mostly really enjoying the combat. The sniper rifle and rocket launcher aren't as fun to use as I'd like, but the assault rifle is great fun.
I actually managed to get stuck behind some create with diamonds on it. Like, physically stuck, couldn't walk, crawl or jump out. That would have really pissed me off hadn't it been for the fact that I was also being slowly cooked to death by the brush fire that I set outside of the building before looking for the diamonds.
This game achieves this absolutely insane balance of complete failure and emergent brilliance, and so far it's come out victorious in spite of some really pretty serious flaws.
It's a shame then that they seem to consider the successful execution of their ideas to be of less importance.

That's what sequels are for. I've enjoyed the betas more than enough to a) justify the purchase price and b) help subsidize the eventual, vastly improved sequels.
[This is a sequel, you know. And really, some of the more blatant issues aren't new, to Ubi or even to the Far Cry brand. I'm giving this one a pass of sorts because the world is so large and there are so many ways the skirmishes can pan out, but I also don't think any of the existing issues will be worked on much for Far Cry 3. It's just not how Ubi works.
what's wrong with cover systems in fps games
medal of honor airborne had an awesome cover system
I did three of the same missions last night in a row for the arms merchant and didn't have a problem with the repetition. It wasn't a big deal, each task put me in a different place to fight and that's good enough for me. :) I don't care if I'm doing the same thing each time, because really all the interesting stuff generally happens on my way to the location.
I am totally rollin' in true African style now, with an AK-47, MAC-10, and a RPG launcher. So far I've yet to use a weapon that didn't feel perfectly punchy and effective and sounded great. The firefights are pretty chaotic on the hardcore setting and I'm totally digging how the designers didn't opt for a stupid cover system to appease the booger-eatin' gamepad tools and instead stuck with bread and butter FPS gaming.
btw this game is totally not a sequel. It doesn't resemble the original far cry at all in terms of actual game design, setting, or mechanics. which is a good thing, since the original far cry wasn't nearly as good as this game is.
In addition to climbing, some cave systems would be nice.
add a dog and you've got gold
yes, they do. saving takes like 30 seconds and you can't do it wherever you like. sux.
That's the other underdeveloped aspect of the game. You have these factions, but why do any of them matter? You are never backed up by any faction (they explicitly spell it out every damn mission), but there's no way to tell factions apart in the world. Everybody looks identical.
...and that's not a racial comment.
:o the flamethrower/general flame effects are amazing in this game
There's another huge "region" that you get to after you finish the first third or so of the main missions. It's woawesome.
And I kind of understand where y2kev is coming from now with the terrible voice actors. I don't think it's so much the actors themselves but rather it seems that Ubisoft wanted to save money and decided to include no spaces in the script.
In Frag 'n' Tabasco 'n' Drinky's Nubian Fantasy I Trust~
I have such a hardon for this game now. I think it's the best shooter I've played this year. Over 50%. It has some problems, but if you use the buses, you rarely ever drive more than a few min. Oh and LOLZ at the AI. I mean it's bad but who cares...I love shooting the AK-47. Such kick.
+650 points cause i'm playing on ps3 and I looooove ps3 and want to make out with it
This is a shooter for people tired of that overscripted call of duty bullshit.
Oh, and about the military checkpoints-- maybe I don't see them cause I don't drive very much, but I usually just drive right through them. People exaggerate like they are every ten seconds and you can't shake them by shooting your gun mount for 10 secs.

but resistance 2 is bad and far cry 2 is not
The semi-auto one? I got to try that out early on, wasn't too impressed.
do you mean far cry 2 or resistance 2
i'll give either a go later this week or the weekend
kev just wants to get trophies. we are now having a gears 2 horde session instead.down for that as well
and wow, constant craziness as soon as you get to the second map. Far Cry 2 is awesome.
oh man, it really is buggy :\
i got stuck on a rock underwater and died

If that's the worst you've encountered, consider yourself lucky. This is easily the buggiest game I've played this "generation." Although I'm starting to think the PC version is worse off than the console versions. Fucked up cost for better image quality and performance, if that's the case.
How about safe houses? Half the time (exaggerating for effect here) some dude will be missing from the enemy gallery, so the safe house won't unlock.That's happened to me too :(

I remember hearing some interview where they were like "Oh yeah, in an early build of the game when we implemented fire, someone set something on fire and then the fire spread 100 miles north and accidentally killed the Jackal"yeah, bs. even when it makes no sense for the story to make you not kill him or when he like...
I am kinda calling BS on thatspoiler (click to show/hide)because THE JACKAL IS UNKILLABLE
Seriously WTF. At the beginning of the game it's like "OKAY DUDE GO GET HIM!" and then you find him and I'm spamming on the R trigger trying to blow him away because THAT'S WHAT THE GAME TOLD ME but nooooooo, you have to help him save people and shit. NO, I MUST KILL YOU, THE GAME TOLD ME TO[close]
okay, gonna stay away from this thread now
only two acts, right?3, third is fairly short. i think the first was my favorite. the layout of the first map is way better than the second imo.

the story of this game is crap, and so are the characters and VA
Oh good, an escort mission.
Oh good, an escort mission.
oh fuck i dont want to go back to this now.
did anyone try the multiplayer? someone mentioned COD4 :hyper
I didn't do an escort mission and i played the entire story campaign
wut u do ducko
that ending was dumb
and wasn't there supposed to be a hang glider in this game? never saw one
It may be mine as well. Assaulting people has the best stealth feeling i have ever gotten from a game and everything has that hyper real feel that GTA wishes it could do..
I like that just getting to your destination can be quite an adventure in itself, but I can understand that some people would prefer to get to their destination quicker and easier. I find using the waterways offers a nice change of pace if I don't feel like driving.
And the buddy system kicks ass. Getting overwhelmed and having your buddy come out to give you a hand is awesome, and doing their submissions can be really neat.
You don't understand how the term hyperreal can apply to an open world game built more on expectation and stereotypes than the reality of those things, all in the context of an internal logic that consistently mimics something that is real feeling, but inherently gamey?
The stealth is also broken. I don't know how anyone enjoys that.
No, I really don't care. I moved past it quickly. But when I see people mention they play this game stealthily I wonder if they pull their hair out.The stealth is also broken. I don't know how anyone enjoys that.
you don't play stealth, that's how . this was REALLY hard for me to get past since I've played way too much Thief in my life but going stealth in the game just doesn't work.
No, you sneak up, find your spot and start killing.How is that stealth though? Who doesn't play that way? Do you think people just run into the middle of some collection of huts and fire into the sky to let everyone know it's on?
I've been playing Fallout 3 so much that last night I paused Farcry 2 and was looking for the save menu for several seconds. ::)
I'm not sure?
I just meant I got used to Fallout's save-anywhere system and forgot Farcry was not save anywhere.
Graphically it is the closest to Crysis I've seen, and it runs better on my system. Shit is hot.

What kind of settings are you using?
I tried playing it with everything on Ultra maxed and it's like 5fps, whereas I got about 20fps on Crysis maxed. Even with everything on very high it's not as smooth as Crysis. I had to keep stuff around high/medium to get it Crysis level of playable. Maybe it's just more cpu-intensive or something since my cpu sucks.

THIS GAME FUCKING SUCKS
What's this time management bullshit? I cant even buy some fucking pills because I can't guess the right time the dealer will be there.

Is there a mod that lets you warp around? Sounds like it would fix the driving.
Gamefly sent this to me today. Am I in trouble?

You can't buy pills whenever you want. The game will let you know when you need to go back to the priest for more pills.
And then sometimes it will tell you that you have get more pills, but fail to actually update your map with directions, and/or fail to activate the pick-up place. Buggy bug bug. It's still more brilliant than it is terrible, but it sure leans dangerously over the line from time to time.

Weird. That never happened once to me. Did you patch your game?
so yeah, if they fix the problems like AC2 fixed the problems of AC1, GOTY whenever it comes out
The Yukon is like Siberia but it has more trees I think.
That, and enemies absorbed way too much damage. The animation was also goofy at hell at times, which combined with the goofy behavior and incredible damage tolerance to make for some kind of heavily armed distinguished mentally-challenged fellow army. Fix that, mix missions up (and remove the kamikaze jeeps), and the game will be nearly fixed right there.Did you play it on a high difficulty level? Sometimes devs shortcut implementing difficulty settings by just augmenting hitpoints and/or lowering player's weapon damage.
I don't think keeping it in Africa would be bad, but more of Africa in a single environment would be nice. Even with jungle, marshland and savanna, the environments felt pretty uninteresting after a while. Snowy mountain ridges, deep wet jungle, that sort of stuff would have been nice. Keep the world open, but make the destinations more interesting, and varied.
