Who the hell wants Far Cry 3 when FC2 was complete crap!

FarCry 2 was terrible and I can't see the third installment being any better.

Booo, I want more Africa.

Antarctica...

So you'll be hunting polar bears?

I personally had a blast with FC 2.

Antarctica? So basically the landscape will be completely white, with a little bumps here and there, Snowfall and occasional research stations in the middle of nowhere? Has Ubisoft gotten lazy?Treflis

I would miss firing my flare gun at a villiage, coming back a few minutes later and seeing a wild fire a few square miles around....

Despite the issues, I actually like FC2 very much in many ways. It's certainly not perfect, but not the failure most people tend to think of it as.

FC2 isn't the worst FPS, there are many other worse FPS that make FC2 look amazing, but I would like for it to be more like FC1, now that game is amazing.

Yeah, FC2 was pretty neat once you got used to its flaws. Beat the game recently, it was definitely worth playing. If FC3 is a considerable improvement, it's gonna be one hell of an FPS.

The things FC2 nailed on the head was the realism in weapon wear and tear and the way weapons broke down, not to mention the player's body wounds and the badass ways he healed himself.

exactly my thought. never buying ubisoft crap ever again.

FarCry 2 nailed a number of things, primarily immersion factor. You'd really get the sense of being out in the Sahara by yourself with a rusty old sniper rifle. There were always options in attacking objectives, and the game incentivized taking reconnaissance with the binoculars, marking down locations on your map. And the real-time brush fire effect made thins all the more interesting.

Of course, it wasn't perfect, with a repetitive main "quest" that was simply driving from point A to point B.

What FarCry 3 can do with an Antarctic setting is make traveling a more time consuming and demanding activity. Fuel will need to be a big factor when riding snowmobiles, and running out of fuel will not be a death sentence. You'd have to dig a burrow into the snow and pinpoint your location on a map in order to radio it to a rescue chopper. If it's too stormy out for a rescue flight, the only option is to wait it out in the burrow.Piloting a rescue chopper would be entertaining in its own right as well, having to rely on a survivor's description of his wherabouts in order to pinpoint his location.

The Anarctic setting might very well open up new gameplay opportunities. It's just a matter of what direction Ubisoft wants to build the FarCry IP from, at this point.

all i could think was why does everyone in the world chase me to the death upon sight, why do these enemies keep re-appearing after ive killed them, why do these warring factions not fight each other, just me, why did i buy this frustrating mess of a game etc etc ;)

Interesting. Not sure if more involving travelling will turn me off this game. In the main with FC2 I wanted to get from A->B as quickly as possible; if there was a back-door into B I'd try and use it (e.g. by climbing a ridge) but surely its the missions and mission structure which makes this type of game interesting?

On a side note, I cannot believe that Antartica is the main setting; too dull and too white; however, I can imagine it being one of the maps in the game.

My personal wishes for FC3? 1. Make the missions more interesting/complex 2. FC2 had a terrible story; FC3 needs to have a mission structure/story that is a.simple and b.engaging c. ties in with the individual missions 3. provide the odd driveable trains as a way of getting from A->B (have I contradicted what I initially said there;)

Antartica eh? That'll actually be interesting to see how a developer can tackle to create a sandbox FPS based in Antartica. Also, after AC2, I know that they will definitely improve on FC3 after hearing much criticism from gamers like they did with the first Assassin's Creed. But I rather quite enjoy Far Cry 2.

i dont even... this game was a non thinking game. Stealth didnt work b/c anytime you killed someone even witha silencer, everyone in the whole villiage and the villiage over knew your exact location and of course thats when the game would choose the malaria to hit and your guns to all jam even though you just paid a huge sum of money to buy them. so much frustration in this game
