Does Far Cry 2 ever get interesting?

Sums it up well! :D
 
how anyone could classify this game as a failure is beyond me. sure, there are some annoying aspects to the gameplay but on the whole, the game's alot of fun to play.

i realize some of you can't aim and have a horrible time taking down enemies, can't pathfind and wander around the same area for hours looking for your own feet and have no concept of how to read a map, thus never finding a bus stop but good god damn... i don't have anything else. you're all sad, sad and so angry too, lol. 1080p with a great framerate and you can't have fun?

go back to halo and leave all the firestarting fun to people who have an attention span longer than the velcro straps on your keds.

LOL you liked the game! I guess we are all just beneth you because we think this game is a steaming pile of shit. Yes, I have such a hard time aiming...you must be some super leet gamer or something. GG dude.
 
It's off my hard drive and I could'nt be happier. I replaced it with COD 5, not a great game, but at least one that is interesting enuff to play for a while.
 
Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

And my opinion is the game is indeed shit, therefore Ubisoft owes me another game. What a waste of $50.00.

GG! Just make up a bunch of reason that no one is saying to make your point. Aiming, difficulty etc is not a problem in this game. The problem is it is that its as dull stale Wonder Bread.
 
There is so much to love about the game - so many GOOD things, and rather groundbreaking things, yet.... playing through the game totally takes out the immersion factor to the point where you're just trying to get the thing done with. If you've played one "mission" you've played them all. Good grief. All that dev work, late hours, technology, millions and millions of dollars and the very core of the game just plain SUCKS.

Well said. I WANT to like this game, but jeesh, after 2-3 missions....it becomes as repetitive as masturbating, only less fun.

Yeah I thought it'd be the new half-life after that awesome intro-drive. But having played about 2hours i've come to the same conclusion as you.

I was looking forward to wandering about in the desert/savannah, sneaking in on random banditcamps and moving on into the wilderness.. instead i get this driving around on roads in a car to get to the action and back to get a reward and having to sleep in houses and shit... this is not the game it should have been.

agreed. i was very disappointed :(
 
I'm glad I waited on this game. The concept sounds cool and the graphics look great but from the sounds of things the game play is lacking.

the reality is that shooters are very plentiful these days, and as a result, they are held to very high standards. Games that promises the world and deliver only a slice are usually torn up by us.
FarCry 2 failed in the single most important part, gameplay. Games like Crysis, COD and STALKER all had issues, but each was fun. FarCry, for the overall, is not.

Honestly, even though I acknowledge several obvious flaws I am still enjoying the game. I'm 25 hours in and about 60% done. I've been unlocking every safe house (even though they're mostly useless) and scouting every outpost. I did I think all but one quest in the first area and I'm busy clearing out the second map now. Every cellphone tower assassination, all the pointless buddy missions that reward no diamonds.

I'm having fun playing as an assassin. Changing up my weapon kit every so often has kept the game pretty fresh. I can play stealthy or go small grenade launcher, big grenade launcher, RPG as my loadout and shell people into oblivion.

Flaws like no prone, no lean, less than perfect AI and damage model...I've all seemed to get past them. I think those would be improvements but regardless I'm still having fun. It'd be nice if the missions weren't carbon copies of each other but I ignore the dialog and just go at it.

It's no STALKER or even a Crysis, but I still can't put it down. That or I'm just trying to justify the $50 in my head.
 
The ending has a twist to it, but it's not worth playing all the way through to get to it, IMO. Save yourself the trouble, look at some screenshots, and pretend you played it.

I finished it about a week ago. I've already uninstalled it.
 
Played it, Didn't like it, and is being traded via goosex as we speak.

The game does look nice and is worth getting, when its under 25 bucks.
 
I can totally relate to the OP. Especially with the driving part. Now I remember why I never finished the original Far Cry. Either I'm getting too old, just totally inpatient or both.

This is where CoD WaW comes in handy =D
