Far Cry 2 Review! - PCGAMER

Oh yeah...

It received a 94/100.

In addtion to the Buddies, PCGamer voted Far cry 2 a "Wild" 94% quoting its pros were Beautiful, Free roaming and Utterly Absorbing, and its cons were, its not a linear shooter, its not a prescibed story and its not going to let you go !

The basis of Far Cry 2's story telling: Characters and situations are swapped via a software author, its responding to choices made by you the player. Its something that's been on the cards for some time - mostly in research projects - but this is the first high-profile game to use it.
Its nothing less than a revelation. What makes this procedural storytelling cool isn't that you get to play the game lots of times, and see new things happen, or do things in new ways, Its not even that it gives you stories to share, situations to compare with your friends. Its that the game just works and responds to your successes, failures and ****
If you don't like what a guy is asking you to do, then don't do it... If you really like one of your buddies, you stick with him. When the situations force choices on you... By God, its incredible

I hate it when people do that. If you have already seen the same thread twice why bother posting in it? To piss of the OP?

If you dont have nothing to say about thread,than why YOU bother posting in it?

Anyway,its good thing if Far Cry 2 actualy turns out to be nice game,though i felt it will be more like 8-8.5 score

Anyway, I'm glad Far Cry 2 got a 9.4

Wow, I'm seriously surprised. I was expecting this game to flop MikeE21286

Me too. Although I'm glad to see. I like the way games are moving away from linearity to open 'game worlds'.

Not at all a suprise to me.From the footages,interviews and alot more info Far Cry 2 was expected to recieve such a good score.And its just the starting.

BTW this is the SAME magazine which gave Crysis a 92%.

so the game has no main story? you just go round and helpothers? that is epic failuremingo123

They said it's not a prescribed story...which means there isn't a set path that you take in order to do the same story through every playthrough.

In other words, you make the story by which factions you deal with and such. The underlying story is simple, Kill the Jackal. Factions build the story from there. If you were expecting some epic story from Farcry then you clearly never played the first one. Amazing gameplay and standard story. Farcry was never about having a deep MGS4ish "let me confuse you some more before i show you all of the story in the 4th game." Your post = failure.

Sweet, I shall be getting this for the PS3.

I was debating on which one to get, this or killzone 2, (I want to keep at least a six month difference between each fps I buy since I seem to be having a lot of them) but after seeing the multiplayer for farcry 2, I think I'm leaning more toward it. also, this game having no monsters is a definite plus. XD

unfortunately, my pc is way outdated lol.

Yes, and it's the same magazine which gave Warhead a 73, with a review that completely contradicts all the other reviews and player opinions... except for the dumbass Gamespy review, which states that in the train level you're forced to sit on top of the train.

You can't possibly trust PC Gamer after they made such a review to Warhead, a game that leaves the original Crysis in the dust, and they basically say about FC2 that it's the best shooter ever. Don't forget that FC2 is, in the eyes of many, the direct competitor of Crysis, although it shares more similarities with Stalker.

And about that story thing... It sounds to me like Fallout's way of handling the story, the only difference being that in Fallout you have a fixed starting position.

PC GAMER UK is a very strict reviewer.

I have yet to play warhead so cant say anything about it.And about Crysis i can say that it was a nice game deserved what it got.And about FC2,it did get what it desrved.FC2 is going to be GREAT with mind blowing realistic graphics,50 sqr km open land and alot more stuff.And i guess proof has started to come in a little bit early.

Hmm I did not know that. This DOES help confirm my concerns with this review. Looks like the people behind Far Cry 2 pushed for the magazine to say bad things for Crysis Warhead and bump their game. Warhead was just spectacular I don't understand how it could have scored less than Crysis.

My PC can run this but I'm getting it for PS3.

The anticipation for this game is killing me!

Yeah its a great score, and has renewed my interest in it.

The procedual storytelling gets me all giddy.

Its stuff like this that really impresses me.

However the review is inconsistant, and really blows over all the faults.

Even though I'm excited from the score, I really can't trust them as a reliable source anymore.

It is even worse than that....

PC Gamer US gave Warhead a 73%. Their primary complaint was that it wasn't like Crysis... I don't agree but whatever..

PC Gamer UK(the magazine this review came from) gave Warhead a 60%

i hope the console versions are as good as the pc ps3wizard45

your sig is similar to mine!! I have been using this for over 1yr now...no problem, the more Watchman fans the best!!!

Regarding the topic, I must say that I was exited about the game but when I read the full review I was a bit put off by the constant respawn of enemies..dont like respawn...I like that the enemies I kill remain death... but anyways I will give it a try
