FARCRY2 EPIC PHAIL.....booring game ever....

Good God, Far Cry 2 is the WORST FPS ive ever played this year. Man seriously WTF is this? It sucks so much ass. Im about 2hrs into the campaign and im already bored of it, its so bland and meh! Its all drive here, go there, go here, clear camps and make them your safehouses, seriously wtf! Dont look for a story because there aint one, all these missions are a sorry excuse to increase game time. And the multiplayer is at an all new level of CRAPFEST. Other than Enemy Territory Quake Wars I cant think of one single FPS whos MP is this horrible.


* Laughable sprint feature, its pretty much pointless. You speed up like 0.5mph and the whole screen blurs as though your running at 100mph. BFBC's sprint (which sucks as well) feature feels like a God in front of this.

* wow gun sounds are so amazing /sarcasm. What the hell did they use to make those sounds?? Hitting sticks on a wall probably??

* Movement - Oh man what can go so wrong on such a simple thing like this?? Why is that my character walks as though he has got an artificial leg?? When i run its like my legs will fly off from my body any minute.

* Accuracy - Yea go on give the enemy 1000% accuracy so that they can shoot me from a kilometer away and can make all their bullets hit me but when i try to hit an enemy that is only a few hundred meters away the bullet spreads like an umbrella. Then there is that stupid red damage indicator, half the time it does not even point to the right direction (the direction which the enemy is shooting me from)

* MP Maps - Who ever made those in-built maps is an idiot, most of the maps lack balancing and one team has the perfect base while the other has the worst base. Devs first priority for a proper MP implementation are the maps, no one will stick to your game if your maps suck balls. Sure you can retort saying they've given you the map editor, ya right but the thing is will you be able to find 16 players with that same map of yours in 5-10mins?

* NO matchmaking, no party system and yea you cant play ranked matches with your friends

* Also negative EXP?? wtf! I gained about 330 in one game and i lost 280XP in the next and lost a rank. umm hello?? whats going on??

* All that pulling bullets from your body is just a gimmick, its ridiculously frustrating in MP because when you manage to find some cover to pull out the bullet, you're giving ample amount of time for the enemy to come to you and rape your face

* Respawn time - OH MA GAWD wth! you can take a short nap while it counts down. One of the longest respawn counters in any game. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

* SP lacks action and MP lacks fun

I can go on and on but this is enough and im so mad right now. To people who think the graphics are great lol I bet you that the graphics will get old in less than 15 mins, because thats what it is, its the same boring scenario everywhere and LOL ive not seen rock textures so horrible in any game, its like liquid **** sprayed all over the rock. And then there is this mountable turret effects, you know the fireblasts when you shoot?? they look 2D. Wth parveer, shadows are ridiculously dithered, this game is like every other X360 game, there are absolutely NO shadow improvements. And oh good one more FPS with a floating camera, why cant i see my god damn legs when i move/when i remove bullets from my hand?? So much for realism when dated games had them.

Also if you're thinking that this game (Multiplayer) is going to be like CoD4, then you'll be extremely disappointed. I honestly believe that this game will be dead in less than 2 weeks, MP lobbies are not even crowded during the launch week, so just think about it down the road.

Anyways, for pirates you guys go ahead and do w/e you want, my rant is for the people who are going to spend $$ on this. If I were you I would not buy this game, save your $$ for Gears or CoD WaW or any other game but not this (its still your choice, im just throwing it out) because it WONT last long. Damn im sooo freaking mad right now, absolute waste of 60$.

Baseline:
This is NOT a sophisticated/polished shooter, its a sorry excuse for a FPS an open world FPS that is. As of now id give it a 5/10 and that is quite generous if you ask me.

PS: Im talking about the X360 version and i cant say the same for other versions.

Rather than addressing every point I'm just going to see I disagree with all of them and feel exactly the opposite of every point you just made. :)

It's also been three days... return it.

i was board with it too... till i put it in the xbox and played the best game of all time released this weekcovertsnake

haha respect

I didn't got mine yet still finishing Dead Space and need to finish fable 2.

But with this super negative review make me don't want to buy it -_-" , i respect you opinion but i hope you are wrong cuz i loved the first one.

I'm sorry you don't like a very good game that is getting good scores across the board. Maybe it's not the game, maybe it's you. :o BioShockOwnz

Sure, high scores definitely mean a lot. I find it to be a fun game. Different strokes for different folks.

Well imo far cry 2 is up there with the oblivions/gtas and the bioshocks =]

I cant see how anyone cant like this game apart from getting overwhelmed from the vastness of it all

Farcry2 is awesome, this hater probably didnt get by the tutorial.

Definaty not a boring game in my opinion.

Judging by the games TC said are worth the $60 (Gears and COD), I've gathered that

1. He doesn't like open-ended games that rewards people for strategies other than bum-rushing.

2. He loves games with auto-regen health (he must've just started gaming this gen, in that case).

3. He failed to understand the many reviewers AND individual users that admit the game starts off slow.

kozzy!!!!lol another fc2 fanboy....first play the game and then commenttjdeep_2007

Played the game and commented, you are allowed your opinion I just disagree with it. :P

I have to say I disagree with that. FC2 story is by far the worst thing about the game. Bioshock and GTA... Hell even Oblivions story beats the living hell out of this game. I thought it was boring just like the TC. It really is a bland FPS... I am surprised its getting the reviews its getting.

But to each his own I guess. Glad to see some people are enjoying is. I do miss Jack Carver though. He was a badass with a hawaiian shirt.

how can u say that i dont know anything about programming and all....i know duniya engine is great i m not complaining about it..but game is a suckfest.....they way he holds the gun it simply sucks...tjdeep_2007

I'm sorry, but if your complaining about the way he holds the gun something tells me you weren't going to like this game even if it was amazing...

Whats this? this hitler youth board? "YAa ya they shall be in a vorld of hurt if they're opinions do not match that of our own"

seems like someone wasnt very good at the game hahachaoscougar1

My thought exactly

I viewed your profile. I can't help to think why you rated Far Cry 2 a 9.5? Or are my eyes deceiving me?

SICK BURN !!!! I've logged only about 3 hours so far, and I have to say, I've been very close to calling in sick these last 2 days just so I can stay home and play it all day !!!! IMO - I think the game looks and plays great - I haven't done any multi player stuff yet, but there seems to been enough of the single player mode to keep me busy for a while !!!

check it out - he gave it a 9.5 - then a hour later reduced it to 8.5 - what a loser !!!

tjdeep_2007

Out of curiosity, so when you join a game with a user created map, it doesn't download that map automatically?

You hate this game but you still give it a great score, what gives? Then again the same thing happened when someone said Perfect Dark Zero was crap and he gave it a 9.6, LOL.

Also, we tend to hate overhyped games like Halo 3 and GTA IV, after all, don't expect everyone to like AAA games.

You shouldn't expect the multiplayer to fail, of course there aren't many people in there, We're all having fun with the campaign. I imagine it will pick up next week as most of us will probably be finishing the game then.
