Most boring and repetitive open world I've played.

[Gabeznl]

Boring gameplay, bad story, no autosaves, bad soundtrack... How the hell this has positive reviews? It's just going to point A and point B doing the same things over and over again, even the map doesn't worth looking at and everyone is angry with you for no reason.

-Bought on a Xbox 360.

The most immersive and believable setting of the entire franchise. That's why.

the last good one before the series really went down the toilet, though

2nd to last, while this game had an immersion factor, Far Cry 3 had Vaas, the last good villain antagonist.

[[ ECHO ]] - All the replies above

[EDIT] - Actually loved Vaas but hated the screen clutter lens-flare crafting
menu maintenance *poker* - *radar* - linear mission design with a terrible
protagonist ridiculous fire monster even more ridiculous syringes and totally
conscience-bereft 'save' system.

Otherwise a great game - once you get all the bs missions out of the way
and can reset the outposts.

Played it pretty solidly for almost 3 years; An explorers dream.

What saved it for me was Redux for Far Cry 3, which removes lens flare
and manually removing ALL of the hud, blinking objects, and also using
the holster all weapons patch.

Because of all the above in my book Ubi crashed out from 3 on. [E]

I would agree if I hadn't known people very much like that.

It's more immersive than later FC games IMO, and the AI while not fantastic is way better than the blind dummies in FC3, 4 and 5. Over several years I've played this game numerous times on Infamous and for those that don't like it I say "You ain't playin' it right!" or find something easy to satisfy you.

It was ahead of its time when released and still stacks up today. And I can't understand why some folk hate the malaria thing. It's part of the experience, geddit?

-> Thank You !

I have the same opinion.

If you dont find it fun, dont play it. If you need map full of collectibles, sidequests and activities that have no real point aside prolonging your hours spent, there are hundreds of games for you :)

You basically made a review about how boring Far Cry 2 gameplay is, haha.

I was liking the game in the first 2 hours, but later on it got really boring... I was okay with malaria thing, car fixing or other things, but after I recovered the two safehouses the game told me to, the things got repetitive as hell, hating these things.

The AI is dumb, and sometimes they activate some wall-hack. Then goes after you with their cars or stop for some reason in front of you when you're in your car.

The missions are just "go A to B", without something new in your way. Fix the car... Take malaria pills... Kill some guys... capture a camp... gather a diamond... Receive a call about a mission... dies from nowhere and do a mission that last from 10 or 15 minutes all again because there's no checkpoint...

The characters who gives you a mission feels like I'm playing some type of MMORPG, because they seems to have no personality, what made me ignore easily them and not caring about who they are.

The only thing good about this game is the details they add in, like the fire consuming the trees and grass...

I cannot agree that the AI is dumb - although variations in console and PC plus updates and mods can perhaps make it a bit different. That said, anyone who experiences the AI as dumb in FC2 ought to compare it with FC3, 4 and 5. In these you can virtually walk up to an enemy without them seeing you.

I remember vividly when I first played FC5 (a mistake to buy absolutely) I could not believe how simple it was to sneak up and dispatch the enemy. In fact you don't need to sneak at all - just walk right up alongside and club them! Ubisoft created some artificial difficulty cr@p in that game, like being kidnapped out of the blue and having to run a timed challenge like a demented jerk.

Hey, if you don't like FC2 then okay. But it beats the hell out of crafting, comic enemies, hilarious aggressive wildlife (including skunks!), numerous cut scenes and always instructions on what to do next. FC2 leaves it up to the player. You choose. And can't you just FEEL the immersion with the environment?

It's G-R-E-E-A-A T-T !!!
