Farcrying 2: The Africans May Cry

Tommy2HandsTommy2Hands what is this where am iRegistered User regular
Any love for Farcry 2 here.

Any at all?:?:

Post your best Farcry roaming stories.

My best is when I was scouting a guard post with my sniper rifle, accidentaly shot a lava lamp (I was only a hour into the game) lit the base on fire, which in turn blew up an ammo box, which killed everyone and everything nearby. Including myself.

    My favourite part is when I run across people in the wilderness, and I wonder if they're going to be friendly this time around.

    Also my other favourite thing is checkpoints.

    My favorite part was when I got tired of it and traded it in at Goozex.

    Let's talk about a fun game. Like Mercenaries 2! It's buggy, sure, but damn is it fun in co-op.

    Check points and roving jeeps are the worst things.

    This game is so shit. The only really cool thing that happened to me was when I shot the dude at the end of the first act with the dart rifle and didn't even get shot at.

    I heard the first one was really good.

    Far Cry 1 was pretty fun but the end is goddamn ridiculous. The game's so pretty, though.

    seriously just the worst game

    maybe if they had based a nonconsecutive half an hour of gameplay on what the entire game turned out to be

    but nope

    Oooh ooh, there was this time when I'd saved up enough diamonds so I bought a camoflage suit, silenced pistol, silenced SMG and a silent dart gun.

    I shot someone in the face from over a kilometer away and his buddies all ran straight for their cars. Then their cars ran straight over me.

    The best part has to be when you nuture relationships with your fellow mercenaries, getting all good and pally with them, even building up empathy with a vidja game character.

    Far Cry 1 has the worst script in any book, film, game, tv show or cereal box I have ever seen.

    WAIT A SECOND LET ME PULL OUT THIS BULLET FROM THIS GAPING ARM WOUND.

    I'm glad I was able to trade it in for 1000 points on Goozex

    I know if I tried to trade it in at Gamestop I'd get $15 or something

    Mercs 2 is actually nowhere near as terrible on PC as it had been made out to me. Still enjoyed the first more. The AN soldiers are great. "Good to see you're on our side... the winning side! U S A! U S - I mean ALLIES! ALLIES!"

    PotU and I have been playing the co-op non-stop and I knew it was gonna be fun but holy shit

    I honestly think the single player for that is more fun than the single player for GTA IV

  • MorivethMoriveth Registered User regular
    Nah, I know. I totally intend to finish it, though.

    I got Quake 4 from Goozex today. Does anyone know if you get lower difficulty achievements if you beat a game on a higher difficulty?

    Resistance 2... Now there's a pretty bad game.

    It's like they already had a similar game, but re-skinned it for the Resistance universe. The single-player campaign actually bores the hell out of me. The levels may look incredibly great, but they are short, linear and incredibly uninspired. It's pretty neat when you're given orders specifying a certain heading, and yet have no compass to work with. Also, they took away the funnest component of the first game, the split-screen campaign, and replaced it with a completely different mission-based system. Now, this cooperative mode can be fun, but only if you play online with other people. It's a mess if you try to play split-screen, because for some reason the developers made it so that progress made by the 2nd player (you gain experience and items in these matches that you use to upgrade your player with better equipment) can never be saved. Lame! A competitive multiplayer mode is also availible, but feels incredibly vanilla.

    Bleah! :P

    (Somebody please get this game to play with me!)

    I will argree that Saints Row 2 is the shit
    However, mercs 2 can go fuck itself with all of it's goddamn preorder cash.
    Has anyone here even heard of Mercs 1?
    I think that they spent all their cash on the commerical.
    Which I have to admit, was the second best video game advertisment ever. (Next to the orginal Rock Band; Deep Purple, FUCK YES!!!)

    I'm ready! I also know that you're getting Fallout 3 soon. I'm probably going to start up another character when the DLC drops in a few days.

    Uh, preorder cash? The only thing that I know you got from preordering was some new costumes.

    I liked Far Cry but I sold it because it was too fucking hard.

    I got it for my dad for PS3.

    He likes games where he can obsess, and I think it's good for that.

    Always hiding in bushes, always stocking up on molotovs, always cutting the throat.

    What about the Multiplayer? Over Live I thought it was very enjoyable.

    You know, think of all the people that saw the advert, and thought, "Wow that game looks really fun, I think that I'll buy it. Hello? Gamestop? Do you guy have Mercinaries 2. Not out yet? Well, then I think I'll preorder it." Then two weeks later their stuck with another shitty game.

  • L|amaL|ama Registered User regular
    Oh the crazy amount of bullets it took to kill people in far cry 2 was annoying too, especially with the shotguns.

    I would have bought it for my laptop, but I had just got my Xbox, and I wanted another soild shooter to compelment Fallout 3. I think it filled that role nicely.
