Far Cry 2 - Discussion Thread

First off, Assassins Creed & Far Cry are 2 separate entities.Both are of different genres.Just because it's open ended environment, doesn't mean it falls prey to Assassins Creed's gameplay, which is absurd to be compared in the first place.Assassins Creed had a very gripping storyline but it failed to keep up the pace with it's boring gameplay & below-average fight sequences.But that still doesn't take away the fact that it still had good potential.

Far Cry 2 on the other hand looks very promising.Most of the features are pretty similar to the other next-gen FPS title excluding fire propagation which is really good.The map creation tool looks very user friendly too.My main concern is not having to fiddle around too much with the compass navigation part.For some reason I can't see myself holding a map & just guiding myself with a compass.May be because I am geographically challenged.:bleh:

A simple map would have been better IMO or may be it ain't that bad.Weapons look really good.Especially the flame thrower which I want to try out very badly.I hope this game's AI lives upto it's previous installment.
 
^^ you think I am comparing the 2 games "GAMEPLAY"

Dude, I am not that stupid to compare the gameplay of those 2 games...One is an FPS and the other a 3rd Person Adventure....

They are both different ofcourse, All I am saying is I hope it lives up to the hype!!!! Since it is another of UBISofts titles...Which is quite ambitions...The last one according to me on PC was a waste of time for a PC gamer after the first few missions ...its just a repeat!!!
 
This gripe aside, Far Cry 2 is looking incredibly impressive. Bold in both scope and execution, our first few hours in the game suggested that this could be one of the most interesting and thought-provoking propositions amidst the tide of first class titles that are coming our way in the next few months. We'd even go as far as to say that if the problems we came across are ironed out, Far Cry 2 could be this year's BioShock, and it shows signs of being as assured in its interweaving of design and narrative as Ken Levine's revered opus. A big claim, perhaps, but we're itching to get back to the jungle and see where Ubisoft take us next.

ROTFL! Dude do you even know that your talking about the original Far Cry.The game which created waves when it first came out & was probably one of the most vivid & beautiful looking game.The AI which was touted to be the most challenging for it's time.If it's a waste for you doesn't deny the fact that it is still a widely popular game.:P
 
^ lol he is talking about assassins creed

Thanks for correcting buddy :-)

Original Far Cry, was not even developed by UbiSoft but was just published by them. I infact still have it installed on my PC :-) running it ofcourse with all candy and HDR too, I like going back to some older FPS once in a while...
 
For some reason, the older Far Cry still seems to look really stunning.The water effects were just something else.Something which I really liked about it was the ragdoll physics.It just seems brilliant.After watching endless gameplay videos of Far Cry 2, it's really becoming a painful wait for this game.Why oh why won't they release a small demo? :(
 
It has really taken a long time for this game to be developed.Hope this doesn't fall prey to any bugs on the PC.A lot of games are being plagued by the recently.It's almost a month's wait & no other games in sight.DAM! :@
 
^^ till Far Cry you can help yourself to these maybe:

# Brother In Arms: Hells Highway 30.09.2008

# FIFA 09 14.10.2008

# Dead Space 14.10.2008

# Saints Row 2 14.10.2008

# NHL 09 20.10.2008

# Far Cry 2 21.10.2008

And ofcourse play WARHEAD really slowly like me...
 
^You forgot Fallout 3 - 28.10.08
COD World at War - 11.11.08 and
Resistance 2 : 4.11.08
and Bioshock for PS3
After watching videos of all three, I think Far Car 2 is the best of them. I will definitely be purchasing it.
 
^^They are after Far Cry2 baba,,, I meant till Far Cry 2 comes out ....

OMFG: I am pulling my hair out I want this game !!! The more I read the more eager I get. I feel like hibernating for 3 weeks!!!
 
Well the IGN preview says that we can discount ground-breaking graphics from this one.. Apparently the graphics of Farcry 2 are not a match for those of Crysis.. Which also explains the lowish system requirements of the game.. So anyone wanting to desperately crossfire their rig or buy an expensive card just for this game, think again.. If you can run Crysis smoothly then this game shouldn't be a problem.
 
wth.....im without proccy and mobo,...need to get mobo proccy asap!:(......waiting is so painfull for this game......
 
Who's getting this after release?

Looking for some peeps to have some fun in multiplayer after launch.
