Finally finished Far Cry 2.... I hate this game....

I completely agree. I especially hate the repetativeness of the game.

About half way through i just gave up because i couldnt stand doing the exact same thing over and over again.

i seriously respect you. i cant believe you finished it

Strange because, all the things you listed as negatives.. were all things I loved about Farcry 2. I really enjoyed this game for a lot of reasons, mostly the attention to detail because that's what made all the driving and the repitive partsconsistentlyenjoyable. I loved this!

Well did you play the original Far Cry? Crysis or no Crysis, this is one of the best shooters ever.

Far Cry along with Doom 3 are my favorite shooters from that time.

At least in Far Cry 2, you're able to make the game interesting/entertaining, unlike the first one, god, that was one boring as **** game. Not to mention the horrible sound effects. I will never understand why people praise Crytek so much. Sure their games are pretty for their time, but smart AI? Wtf...? Really?

My favorite part of the game was having to whip out that socket wrench and fixing your vehicle everytime you get in a firefight which is basically every 60-90 seconds. Man, that was epic! Also having malaria and having to scrounge around for drugs. Great fun.

Yeah, they totally nailed the African theme. I especially like driving at the desert's edge at sunrise, it's epic.

LOL at people that say malaria breaks the game. Oh noes, I have to press a key every 40 minutes:| I actually like it when it kicks in during combat.

Repairing vehicles isn't that bad at all, especially once you buy the upgrades.

Far Cry 2's problem is that it tries to be a pure shooter, so those RPG-like elements seem half-assed. Sometimes it feels like a poor man's Stalker. Hopefully they learned their lesson, it's impossible to make an open-world old school FPS.

onky thing I hated was the long driving omg I just stop playing after u get the pills for malaria

The stupid thing about the malaria was that, like every other mission in this game, the malaria quests are all identical... drive to some remote house that is being assaulted by several bad guys, shoot bad guys, walk inside house, give passports to citizens and get some magic insta-suppressant malaria pills. Repeat ad nauseum. Seriously, how stupid do you have to be to think that filling the game with identical missions would make it fun?

edit: like I said, I only got half way and uninstalled

CryTek, my friend. CryTek. Which brings me to - if you liked Far cry so much then how come you dislike Crysis? The similarities are very noticeable

Something to do with System Wars.

[spoiler] He's a console fanboy, and like the rest of them he will hate the PC and its games for any and all reasons, most of which are not rational. [/spoiler]

I'm Suffering from having only one mission , whether side ones or primary ones , at the time ...

when I read previews they wrote that there are normal people in the game who have no interest in killing u ... but az I play every body I see want to kill me without a second thought ... why is that ?

I think the biggest tragedy of FC2 was that it had so much potential. With better gameplay design, it could have been one of those "Top 5 Best Games Evar!" type titles. It really captured the African environment well. But I guess that's like saying with a Ferrari engine, my Ford Fiesta would be a better car.

Instead, FC2 was average at best. Oh well.

Ubi Montreal has outdone themselves with this game, I couldn't imagine how a game could be more repetitive than AC, Ubi proved me wrong.miladesn2
