Far Cry 2 WILL be the best FPS to ever come out! (for now)

Far cry 2 rocks! You can blow every thing up and light every thing , and everyone on fire! I love how you can use explosives and set traps! It is so cool how the AI is so I......(does and one get that?!)

They will chase after you and help there friends when they get shot!

I cant wait to buy this..... i want a collectors edition!

I must say from those gameplay videos I am really starting to warm to this game too. The AI helping wounded was impressive and I hope that the day/night cycle is used as effectively as it could be.

We will have to wait and see how good it really is. It is easy to get caught up in the eye of the hype Storm.

Far Cry 2 has a lot of potential, but it can't possibly be the best FPS to ever come out. It's not System Shock 2, and it's not Doom.fatshodan

Wow..... dude no one cares about games form the early 90s or was doom 80s?!

I hope there is like sand storms and things like that.... like morrowind how there is rain and cool weather effects... i aslo hope that there is like caves and things to explore!

So...... do you acctually play them!? I don't consider Doom A FPS even though you are firstperson. You can controll like you can in every FPS! Maby it is just because i wasn't around back when Doom came out...

Is this guy being sarcastic, because otherwise he's a moron...I bet you that a week after Far Cry 2 comes out we will hear him Bi*** about the system requirements and how he cant run it. Far Cry 2 will definately be a great game, but far from the greatest fps ever made

How old are you then? It only came out in 1993.

I'm trying to like it, but honestly real world based games have never really been my thing.

I prefer my games to have a Sci-Fi, High Fantasy, paranormal or whatever aspect to it. Games that are based on the real world like WW2 and such have never really caught my interest.

I had an awkward dream about this game yesterday where I was *inside* the game and I completed in mere minutes. That made me had a misrepresentation of the length of this game.StephenHu

You had a dream about Far Cry 2? Uhhh, how was the game? I hope it was well optimised. Don't spoil the ending. Just dont.

At least it wasn't a dream where you were constantly falling! Or about the flying missions in San Andreas....

It has potential, but the AI has so far only been unbelievably stupid in the videos. If they don't improve it to be at least halfway decent, the game will suffer some for it.

EDIT - Oh, and I disagree, even if the AI was fixed, I don't think Far Cry 2 would be the best FPS by any means, but it still has potential to be awesome.

Well I thought that to some degree. But then I saw the video where a soldier ran between cover, to help a wounded team mate and then picking him up. Surely that wasn't scripted.

Take a look. Its here on GS.

Hi! I'm no one as well :D (System Shock 2 still pretty much holds the FPS throne for me as well (ok along with Deux Ex and a small but still dignified chair for TF2).

With that said, it does look pretty promising. I generally tend to wait until the game is actually out before I get too excited. If they can deliver on what they are saying and the general game play works well it could be a really awesome game.

While i think Far Cry 2 is looking awesome.. the game looks very linear.. yes you can use stealth or run in guns blazing.. but the game looks like it keeps you going down one path rather than being an open world. I can pretty much guarantee there wont be caves or anything to explore. It's not an RPG.

Far Cry 2 looks REALLY Good. But that's because it's Ubisoft making it.

Ubisoft know how to make mediocre games look great before release (Assassin's Creed anyone?)

Wow stop playing it before us, or start watching the trailers and gameplay vids like all of us, don't just dream stuff and post them here. It does not look linear, in fact you can go everywhere and do everything you want in what order you want (it doesn't have borders like AC) and I think a world that is even larger than the whole Oblivion has A LOT to explore :roll: I have high expectations for FC2 and hopefully it won't be just a lame Stalker (a game which already is lame) with better graphics.

Here's to being stuck in the past.....

Just kidding Shodan. I'm just a little bitter for not being able, after many painstaking efforts, to get SS2 to run on my PC.

BTW, I though you said Bioshock was the best FPS ever...... :)

Your thinking to much about it sounds like, but i'm no shrink.

I think it'll be an awesome game from what i've read and seen, course it could be another ****ty ubi game like the last couple, hopefully not though, and its far from a linear game.

okay... i understood his point, so i really didn't need you to explain it for me. as for the 'so?', i could name all kinds of things that suck big time (like gears of war or ass creed or the rock or my boyfriend (cuz he's a bad boyfriend who pays no attention to me)), but unless he has a reason for bringing in crysis to the discussion, there's no need to bash the game. one has nothing to do with the other. what he's doing is bashing crysis - that's his main point; there's just no reason to do that in a thread that has NOTHING to do with crysis. get my point?

Check the edit ;). Actually Crysis should be brought into discussion even more, because Crytek promised so much and came up with so little (the actual product that "everybody" loves, not including the "I hate Crysis" part). Ubisoft promises even more and I really doubt they can deliver, but from the vids, most of what they promised it's there.

Unlike Crytek, Ubisoft cares about the game as much as they care about the graphics and all of their games represent that (except the might and Magic series) and yeah I would include even AC, say what you want about it, it is a good game. If they promise, they try to make it happen, if Crytek promisses it, they try to make excuses or cover the missing parts. Crysis "should" have been an even more complex game with lots more stuff to do in it than it is atm, so........God help us all if FarCry 2 isn't what they promissed, even if the AI would suck or any other small things that count only a little, because no matter how you look at it, Crysis's AI is not one of the best, not even between the top good ones, so stop complaining about FC 2's AI (I know you do ;) everywhere).

You do compare the "good" parts from Crysis with what you saw from Farcry 2 from time to time and when we talk about FC 2, we can't bring Crysis into discussion? OK :|.

Have you seen the latest Far Cry 2 video, fireandcloud? We've seen some questionable things in the past, but it's hard not to be impressed by the kind of stuff you can do in the game, and how the AI facilitates it.

that is a LOT better than ANYTHING they've shown thus far.

but (and you knew this was coming), i wonder if they've already shown all the major ways you can 'trick' the enemy (as in, will there be more than this?). it reminds me of alone in the dark and the many weapons you can create but essentially amounting to a bunch of flamethrowers or something that function almost identically. we'll have to see, i guess.

You do compare the "good" parts from Crysis with what you saw from Farcry 2 from time to time and when we talk about FC 2, we can't bring Crysis into discussion? OK :|.

DanielDust

bringing up crysis to compare a.i. is RELEVANT, because it brings into discussion whether or not far cry 2's a.i. is adequate to get the job done (and the videos thus far doesn't seem to suggest so). bringing up crysis to say that far cry 2 hopefully isn't as bad as crysis is NOT, because that's just bashing crysis. do you understand the difference? :roll: meaning, if you bring specifics into the discussion, fine! but if you're just going to bash crysis, then that's just pointless.

Actually Crysis should be brought into discussion even more, because Crytek promised so much and came up with so little (the actual product that "everybody" loves, not including the "I hate Crysis" part).

DanielDust

as for what you wrote about ubisoft caring about games and not just graphics, that's just your opinion and reads like drivel to me. yes, you backed it up with facts :? (such as writing 'say what you want about [ass creed], it's a good game' and 'if [ubisoft] promise, they try to make it happen, if Crytek promisses it, they try to make excuses or cover the missing parts'), but i still don't understand what exactly the point of that whole middle paragraph is. i thought crysis' a.i. was quite excellent; certainly, the koreans didn't stand there in the open and shoot at me while i picked them all off one by one. complaining about far cry 2's a.i. being bad seems a legit point, because i for one think that enemy a.i. is one of the most important elements of a good fps, so i'll continue to complain about far cry 2's a.i. as long as i see it being faulty.

Actually Crysis should be brought into discussion even more, because Crytek promised so much and came up with so little.

DanielDust

Says you. Some of us feel it lived up to its hype and then some.

DanielDust

Again, says you. Many of us respect Crytek in their talent with gameplay every bit as much as with graphics.

Crysis "should" have been an even more complex game with lots more stuff to do in it than it is atm, so........

DanielDust

In 100% disagreement with you.

even if the AI would suck or any other small things that count only a little, because no matter how you look at it, Crysis's AI is not one of the best, not even between the top good ones, so stop complaining about FC 2's AI.

DanielDust

That's odd, the way I look at it, Crysis's AI beats out that of every game ever made, occasional quirks included. Some of us who think Far Cry 2's AI appears to be awful actually do think Crysis's AI is spectacular. You shouldn't say "stop complaining" because it isn't an irrefutable fact that Crysis's AI is not fantastic (nor is it a fact that it is, of course).

No offense, but you seem to be continually stating your opinion as fact (in attitude moreso than wording), or as though it holds more weight than others' opinions.
