Wow...Far Cry 2 is one of the worst games I have ever played

I just fired it up after picking it up during the last Steam sale and I can't believe how unengaging this game is. the story is crap, the beginning does nothing to suck you in, the gunplay.gameplay is some of the worst I have ever played...the whole presentation is terrible. Am I alone in this observation?

I'm almost speechless in regards to how bad that game is.

It's not one of the worst games I've played but it's definitely one of the most disappointing.

Game was not the worst ever, but it had some HORRIBLE aspects to it. Such as the checkpoints and ALWAYS people following you in a car was so annoying. Also the Malaria crap was annoying. I liked the graphics and atmosphere a good deal though.

The game could off been good, but a few simple choices (and they never got patched!!) made this game too annoying to play it through for me.

I have to agree...I absolutley loved the first game...but FC2 was just trash. I could not even get remotely into the game...tried it for a few hours and sold it

good:

- weapons breaking down and their animations

- healing your injuries like a boss

- spreading fire

- environment

- open world

bad:

- all the voice acting

- story

- checkpoints respawn every 5min (couldn't they wait 24/48hrs?)

- too many buggy chases

- retarded AI

Duke Nukem: Forever: Your agruement is invalid.

It had some very good moments (sneaking through the river by boat at night) but overall it felt unengaging and a bit repetetive, almost as though it was more a tech demo than a game.

I never found the checkpoints to be that bad. Use the bus/fast travel system and drive cross country when you can to avoid checkpoints. It was pretty retartded how when you went through one and cleared it out then came back after 5 mins it would be repopulated.

I played it all the way to the end and still have a positive opinion of it overall.

Overrated by critics, underrated by the community.

Farcry 2 had its problems, but I enjoyed the game regardless.

I guess I'm one of the few who really enjoyed it! *runs and hides*MythPro1

I really like how people complain there's too much shooting in a shooter.

The problem was the cars chasing you every other minute. Seriously, that was bull****.kris9031998

A great deal of the rectalfrustration coming from people seems to be impatience with the car chases and the story. The cars running after you/checkpoints can be wiped out in about twelve seconds...not really a huge deal, since that's about how long respawn time is in a MP game. There's no checkpoint save system, there's fast travel, the weapons (primarily sniper rifles) are terrific, the world is incredibly diverse in geography -and it's entirely open, the story is actually not too shabby when you consider the locale and its situation, and the fires are fabulous. It's a game I return to every six months or so and play through again, and I'll probably continue to do so for years. krazyorange

I had to check that I didn't time travel back to 2008. I guess people are still complaining about Far Cry 2 on the internet then.

Anyways,

Is what I felt. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the game and loved the insane sense of freedom and choice I had in combat. It was like the anti Call of Duty in letting me do whatever I wanted combat wise. They really should have snubbed the "meh" multiplayer to focus on the single player issues though, even if the map creator was awesome.

The worst is that you need to walk a lot. But it's a wonderful game.

Since everyone's talking about this, I have a question. I'm at the point where... I just finished killing the king, and stealing his ring to give it to the prince or whatever, and the next "underground mission" i'm supposed to do for the malaria pills is the "find the underground cell near pala". I've been all over the whole area on the map where it says that place is, I've been inside the building that I'm pretty sure is the place, and there's just a bunch of people hunddled on the ground in the back room, and nothing happens. I'm completely stumped, as for what to do here. I looked up a couple walkthroughs on Gamefaqs, and neither of them had a single mention of an "underground cell". Anyone know what I'm supposed to do here?

the game could have used the ability to have an NPC follow you around...man the gun on a car, for instance

That would have been awesome. Although, the quick move from the drivers seat to the gun is pretty sweet. And those turret guns tear it up.

I would have played longer but I kept getting chased by everyone I see like they had radar and it got so annoying I quit.

i did like the gunplay... everything else was lolJigglyWiggly_

If you can see them, they can see you too. I assume people want to do this, like in almost every other game.

[QUOTE="Elann2008"]

[QUOTE="slvrraven9"] i hated the fact when you shoot somebody, no matter how far away you are....could even be a half a mile away, the AI automaticly pinpoints your location....WTF am i even wasting my time trying to snipe for??? otherwise i enjoyed the game and im thinking of getting it on the PCBaranga

What is astonishing is how bad a job the gaming press did pointing out these flaws in their "reviews"

One of the few reviewers worth a damn.

Great effort but the A.I. is horrible. Not just about what Slvrraven9 pointed out, but friendly A.I., enemies chasing you everywhere. That's terrible A.I. and there's no excuse for that. We can play the "the game has its flaws but it's still good if you could look past it" card all you want..Elann2008

They're very aggressive but they can also be fooled. They take care of their buddies too.

I am annoyed when the AI doesn't wait for the animations to catch up though. So they shoot before turning to face you, and thanks to hitscan weapons you're hit.

Its has to be the worst good game I have ever played. By that I mean that the game isn't buggy or glitchy but just has retarded design decisions.

I really like how people complain there's too much shooting in a shooter.
