FO3 & FC2 are totally two different games and one is a 3rd person game and the other is a 1st person game. If you like third person go for it. I don't.
I've not experienced some of the bull you posted about in your game.
I enjoyed my game and I see no bugs here.

I have FO3, 4, Vegas and I really don't care for those games like I do the FC games so, I guess you and I have different likes. Enjoy your FO games and I'll enjoy my FC games and even though I don't care that much for the FO games, I still own them and haven't dissed them with a line of crap.
Not all games are created with the same ideas in mind. When you create a better game, let me know and I give you my opinion on it. Thanks.
It's not a game about exploring every little nook and cranny to find items and enemies and lvl up.
It's a combat game. The enviroment is only a backdrop to the combat. You do the missions to get better weapons and create more varied combat scenarios. You choose weapons based on your combat preference. It's not a game that was built around exploration, like Fallout. Fallout 3 was one of my most played games on xbox 360, btw.
Yes, some of the npcs are bugged but the majority of the game is bug free and very enjoyable. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
I was just playing it on infamous difficulty. It takes away the crosshair and indicators as it seems. The damage you take isn't really bad at all. The enemies accuracy is poor at best. It really doesn't provide for a challenge when the player can outgun 4-5 enemies on the highest difficulty without trying. I'm not exaggerating one bit. I remember this game being a lot better for some reason but I cannot find that reason again. I remembered the same for Fallout 3 way back when it first came out. To this day I still can see the reasoning behind why it was such a great game.
I play the Far Cry games as combat games. Exploration is second to that main focus. The thing is that the environment is really dull and boring to look at. The environment of this game takes away from the combat as it makes the game feel unenjoyable in ways. Sprinting is one of the big things for me in this game that really take away from combat. You can only sprint for about 10 feet before becoming exhausted and there are times it just causes you to have malaria attacks which take you completely out of the game and respawns you at your house. People say how they hate the story kidnapping you in FC5 and I hate it as well. The Malaria respawn thing is something that I hate even more than that. At least in FC5 it only happens at certain points in the resistance meter. Here it happens if you have no pills and even if you do have pills, it still pauses your gameplay and sometimes breaks your immersion like "Here let me just lean down and take these pills in the middle of combat". Naturally your body wouldn't pause you in the middle of combat unless it was just completely shutting down in the event of death. I really don't think it is as great of a game as I once thought it was when I was a kid. Sorry if hearing someone say that "Fallout 3 is seen to have a better game design than Far Cry 2" hits a nerve or whatnot. Honesty be honesty, none the less.
I understand Fallout games with the game's engine not being able to run the game over 60 fps without speeding up the game engine, but this game allows it through in game menus as to where Fallout does not.
I'm judging Far Cry 2 alone. I'm not judging it in comparison to other games. I'm using other games to show that good game design in those type of open world games were possible in that year.
I knew it had its short comings and I came prepared to play it with a patch already downloaded to give no malaria attacks in game as well as infinite sprint, which actually fixed some of the major issues in the game with its gameplay. Even though, there was a lot of issues I saw in the game. The game gave a lot of interesting mechanics that were shared with Fallout 3, but those mechanics alone do not make the game a good game for it. What makes a game good is the game overall, and I see Far Cry 2 as being an average game overall due to a lot of key features being on the low end. A game that focuses on realism can be interesting all that it can be, but realism does not always make for fun gameplay.
Fallout 3 is a first person game with an optional 3rd person mode that is really buggy. The game was meant to be run in first person. Something tells me that you didn't play any of the Fallout games really. Fallout 3 is an open world game with about the same size map as Far Cry 2. It uses immersive elements such as a Pipboy in the style that Far Cry 2 uses its map and scope. Fallout 3 has perks with a couple of rpg elements to them as Far Cry 3 starts to follow itself. The only thing that Fallout 3 doesn't have that Far Cry 2 has would be vehicles. As for just about everything else that Far Cry 2 has, Fallout 3 has as well. Degenerating weapons, weapon jamming, roaming animals, open world environment, friendly/neutral/hostile npcs, time system (with the option to fast forward) which has an effect on enemies awareness to you, a loot system, and that is all I can think of off the top of my head. The one thing that Far Cry 2 has that Fallout 3 doesn't would be the animations for pulling bullets and such out of yourself to heal.
I've actually developed games in the past. Unless you have done better, don't talk. Don't get butthurt because someone had a legit opinion that wasn't giving the game a positive review. I once thought it was a good game way back, but now that I'm older and see the details in video games more clearer, I no longer feel the same in this game. I see the many flaws in the game with it trying to be as realistic as it can be. Doesn't make for a good video game really as it tries too hard in that department. There is no fun in it and that's why they quickly dropped all those mechanics in future titles.
Face it that the facts show that people don't want those things in games as the game only sold half of what other triple a games were selling at the time. It made 2.9m sales as to where other games such as Fallout 3 and GTA4 made 4.7m(F3) and 3.2m(GTA4) sales. There was a reason why Far Cry dropped those realism elements in all of its later titles and made the games more vibrant. No one wants to stare at a game with dull colors. Even Fallout 3 and Fallout NV were criticized for this and they had an excuse for it.
Sorry to hurt your pride but the facts cannot be proven wrong.
''I've not seen it therefore it doesn't exist''
well done on the dumbest post in this thread. Just because you haven't come across it doesn't mean the problems don't exist. Stop defending the game as if it's perfect in every way. Every game deserves to be criticised and FC2 is no exception. Even back then Ubisoft was showing fake gameplay at E3, advanced stealth than doesn't exist, better visuals, more tech than what their is, smarter AI and the list could go on. It is and always be an average game, no better and no worse than any of the other games in the series.
And no matter what. Details =/= A good game
Quit being an edgelord.
Yeah cause we all know how we just love to play mediocre games for hours on end. Man, this game being so mediocre that I feel that I have to 100% it. How many times do you hear that? Do you normally put hundreds of hours into a game that you don't really like? No. No one does. Great job at making such a dumb and illegal comment. Telling someone to kill them self is illegal in the US and can land you in prison. It's considered an attempt to take someones life in the eyes of the law and if that person were to kill themself due to that person's actions then the person would be held for manslaughter. People already have been tried and sentenced under manslaughter for telling someone to kill themself. You gotta be one mentally ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up person to do that really. Get a life. Reported btw.
Even the new FarCry 5 lacks many of FarCry 2 features.

Besides... if you were a kid back when this game was released, you are still a kid today.... so what do you know?
I know more than you because I know that putting a bunch of mechanics into a game and calling it good, does not make it a good video game. A video game requires a lot more than just mechanics for it to be enjoyable. That is something you fail to realize.
I got banned from that forum for a day because they have a problem with swear filter evasion. What is your point?
You can condem a game for focusing too much on realism and then turn around and condem it for not being realistic enough because at the end of the day your post isn't about giving a measured, nuanced and balanced opinion on Far Cry 2. It's about trying to smear it in a place where fans will see it. You are trying to counter all the hype and attention that the FC series has right now.
At least try and be humorous or amusing when you slam a game. You sound so damn serious about not liking Far Cry 2 anymore that I honestly wonder what your post is really about. Something tells me it has almost nothing to do with the game and you're struggling with something at a much deeper level.
FO3, FONV and FO4 haven't gone anywhere. There's hundreds of hours of things you enjoy waiting for you! Go write about about how much fun you're having while not playing FC2!
