Far Cry 2 Official Sticky: Keep it here or be suspended. (8.5 @ GS)

Will be palying this in 6 hours :)

I was excited about this game before, but the IGN review made me even more stoked!@ Cant wait to try it!

If the map editor is as good as the first ill be looking forward to many stunt ar courses like the ones on far cry instincts for the 360 lol.

The editors going to be great

Instincts wasnt Farcry 1 sorry man. It was a terrible spin off of Farcry 1 on pc.

I have been on a role lately with my score guesses, though I thought GS may just give it a 9.0.EuroMafia

samesies. one game im having trouble tryign to figure out what itwill get is fallout 3 im stuck between 8.5-9 or they could completly love it and give it a 9.5. but i dont know!!

Hey dudes. I wrote the review on this one. If you've got any questions, feel free to ask.

As for those wondering the differences between console versions, there really are none. You could dissect screens with a magnifying glass if you wanted to, but what's the point? That time would be better spent installing a new graphics card on your PC so you can play the best version ;).

dang ! how could I forget about L4D ?:oops:anshul89

Well to be perfectly honest, I don't really expect it to get FPSGOTY. I just wanted to use the John Goodman joke.

Most sites gave it an 8.not suprsied

possibly NO GOTY:

FABLE2 flopped,not much of chance to get GOTY

Far cry2 didnt make it

LBP might not win,SSBB and MGS4 (gta4) take it out

Possible GOTY: MGS4,gta4

Pending:R2,gears2

Everything's flopping because everyone has ludicrious expectations of every upcoming game.

Can't wait to play this :D

I blame GTA4. The game had a tremendous first impression, but now that the dust has settled, a lot have realised that the game wasn's all that. Certainly not a perfect 10. I think reviewers fear of getting burned again, or they think that they have to compensate to re acquire their image as tough but fair reviewer. Or maybe I'm just blowing out of my hole and all "the flops" got the score they deserved.

I don't think any reviewer regrets their GTAIV score. The game lived up to the hype and exceeded that hype. I think its gamers who were expecting something astronomically amazing. Gamers really don't understand the score system of most websites. They see a TEN and expect the world. Thats not what a ten means.

If it had met its hype there would not have been nearly such a backlash.

Those are things that can be sacrificed and yet get the game still to look nearly as good as the game running on HIGH. Or would you unfortunately say that the differences go beyond that with disabled settings?

GENIUS! Now I'm going to buy it.

Despite the score...I am having ALOT more fun with Far Cry 2 than I did with Crysis.Verge_6

I'd consider a point pretty significant, as it's the difference between a letter-grade, so yeah.

Remember, guys. An 8 is a "great" game on our scale, so an 8.5 is a really great game. There's nothing flop about it. It's just not "superb" as a 9 would be.

Ok shooter I guess. I'll get the PC version when it's ten bucksMarloStanfield

I think an 8.5 warrants more than an "OK" shooter. That's usually for 6.5-6.9 games.

We don't take kind to the likes of you here in SW. Now git going! Don't let me see your face ever again!

[spoiler] It was a good review. Liked reading it. But the game's a flop. That's the way things roll here sadly [/spoiler]

just kidding mods.., well done review:)

Was this really a flop? I called a AA score and I thought that was the general hype. Oh well, still a great looking game.

Crysis is much better than FC2. ifetelth

Opinions are fun, m'kay?

:lol: at people claiming that it's an "ok" shooter. Despite it being a flop it's still labeled as a "great" game. Puckhog04

I was expecting a score like this so it's not a flop to me.

I'm not stating the letter-grade determines my overall enjoyment of a game, just that, score-wise, it is pretty significant.

Ditto on the favorite games bit. I think, for every gamer, their favorite, or one of their favorite, game(s) didn't score above a AA rating. That's the case with me and Fallout, Deus Ex, Call of Duty: Big Red One (not even AA), and MoH: Frontline.

I've never played a Far Cry game.Jandurin

I played tiny bits and pieces of the xbox Far Cry and didn't really like it. But this one sure sounds interesting imo
