Your opinons on Far Cry 2?

Hey peeps so hows Far Cry 2, I only want your opinion if you've played it! I think it looks really good like a different free-roam FPS. Looks interesting, I like how you can aproach missions with different tactics. Looks cool.

I remember playing it and feeling like they shipped a broken game. then I stopped playing it and it's been in my game cabinet for quite some time, never to be played again.

Disappointment, oh disappointment.

Easily one of the most disappointing titles I have played in my 15 years of gaming.

Why though? Whats bad about it?

Its a good game, given you can manage through its easy to see faults. I was one of those exceptions. For most, the cons outweigh the pros.

The biggest thing that annoyed me was respawing base camps with mercs right after leaving from its view. Literally.

Yeh ive only paid £5 for it so I wont feel to bad if I dont like it. I almost bought it on launch but got Dead Space instead.

It's far from the best game of all time, though it gets way too much hate.

The respawning enemies sounds bad, I hope you guys are exagerating!

It got good reviews so it cant be too bad..... can it?

Well I dont know about that. Verge hit the nail on the head pretty well. Its simply being able to stand those problems or cuss them out and hide the game in the cabinet. I manage throughs odds and evens and can play through it without much complaining. Still, those damn pills. I forgot about that and thats one of the reasons Ive taken a long, long break from the game.

I thoroughly enjoyed it :)

One of the worst games this generation.

Also one of the most disappointing sequels ever.

Rushed... All it is.

Repetetive to kingdom come, pointless malaria mechanic, healing animations just for show etc.

If it got 6 months of dev time it would be the greatest game this gen...

I actually really enjoyed it, its a lot of fun and the different ways to approach missions varies things up a little bit.

The respawning enemies are a con sure, but its not that big of an issue, because usually you're not going to go back right away anyways.

I just didn't like having to drive across a huge map between missions. Other than that though, I really enjoyed it!

One of the worst games I've ever played. EVERYTHING was unappealing to me. The driving, mission structure, gameplay, setting, everything. I tried to like it, but as much as I wanted to, I just couldn't.

One of the most repetitive, tedious, and unenjoyable games I've ever played.

I want to go back and replay it ironman style, realistic difficulty, dead=dead. Apparently, it makes the game a lot better.

I enjoyed it but there are definitely very serious flaws in the game that may dissuade a purchase. Not to pimp my own stuff, but I wrote an extensive review here.

I thnk it could be a good game to pop in now and then when you feel like doing some shooting missions and just messing around on. I even bought the DLC already becasue it was on offer for 2.79and i got the game so cheap! I think that adds an ATV, Crossbow, silenced shotgun and antique shotgun and 4 multiplayer maps.

A boring game that looks incredible. One of the biggest desapointments this gen to me

Far Cry 2 is an absolutely terrible, bloated abomination of a game, packed from end to end with some of the worst design decisions I have ever had the gross misfortune of being subjected to. Each and every one of the game's few positive aspects were buried under layer upon layer of misery, boredom, repetition, and needless frustration.

I hate it, and I hate Ubisoft for having created it.

Yet, people continue to hype Ubisoft games. After the garbage that was Double Agent, after the empty shell of a game that was Assassin's Creed, after the steaming, sun-baked piece of **** that was Far Cry 2, and look kids, what's that coming over the horizon, oh yes, Splinter Cell: Conviction, a game so stupid, so inherently idiotic and mindless that it plasters basic info all over the game environment, that it kills people for you automatically, that it shows you a little fake man so you never have to worry, or feel tense, or have any fun, that it fills the screen with an ugly and distracting black and white effect because light meters aren't cool any more, the list goes on and on with this trash.

When will you learn? I say "you" because I learned with Far Cry 2, and I haven't bought a Ubisoft game since.

I thought the game was amazing. One of the best games I played in 2008 (I thinkthat'swhen it came out. I forget) it's just all around a great game, the stealth works very well, the AI is amazing and the roaming is fun. I have he played the game for probably 60 hours and half of that timewasn'teven doing missions. It's so fun just to get a sniper, mortar, andUziand sneaking up on enemy bases and killing everyone.

I think the only reason why people hate this game so much and find it such a disappointment is because, around these boards its very popular to fall for the hype the developer creates and people just keep hyping it up and up expecting it to be the game of the universe. I usually try not to hype games at all. I find this works best because then you get a more satisfying experience at the end when you didn't expect the game to be perfect.

I liked it better than Crysis. It was about time someone made a game in Africa and using fire strategically was a lot of fun. I'm guessing a lot of people didn't like it because you couldn't just shoot your way through all the missions.

It's a good game to get at 20 or 30 bucks. I didn't buy it new because I knew it wouldn't be that different from a typical shooter. Still a lot of fun and the driving isn't a big deal once you get used to it.

Nah, there couldn't have been any legitimate reasons people didn't like it.

The weapons certainly degrade too quickly. Once you can store a few guns at the safe house it becomes easier to deal with.

Felt like a chore.SaltyMeatballs

Terrible. Clunky controls, drab enviornments, crappy multiplayer, crappy weapons, crappy vehicles, crap, crap, everything is just crappy.

What's really disturbing is I actually bought the game for $30 at BestBuy. As I got home I NEVER OPENED it. A usual ritual I do when I buy new games. Then, I look into various gaming sites, including Gamespot, in order to read many of the reviews from players who've personally played the game. I Use them as guides.

And the next day, I returned the game for a complete refund.

Yeah......that's how bad the game is. Despite myself not ever playing it.

That's actually a pretty smart way to do it.

The game was boring. I thought it was a boring shooter to play. Not enough action. Not enough depth. It was just.... BORING! Nuff said.

Easily one of the most disappointing titles I have played in my 15 years of gaming.
