Thread: Far Cry 2

Quote: strangelingo : Good Lord! Expect our minds to be IGN! I really hope they just fix the AI and leave almost everything else the same, other than a new setting of course. Somewhere in South/Central America would be utterly fantastic or maybe the Far east.

Quote: ThunderPeel2001 : Lol. I take it you had to go back to an earlier save then? (Sounds pretty frustrating, but hilarious at the same time.) Mercifully, yes! Only lost about 20 minutes gameplay as a result, but still went back and redid that mission. That time, I found out just how potent fire is in the game's grasslands--particularly when the wind's gusting quite strongly. Got away with just a mild barbequing this time though,...

I wonder what they'll do story wise. For me one big part of Far Cry 2's charm was the fact that it's an adaptation of Heart of Darkness and I've read a whole bunch of Conrad novels in the past year and a half. I guess they could try to do Lord Jim in the same vein ;D They'll probably come up with something of their own though.

Notice I said re play (Far Cry 2, not the others) so it already did blow me a way. I started both Vampire and Far Cry 2, but I've been playing a lot more of Far Cry 2. This time I'll try to do as many of the side missions as possible and diamond hunting before I hit the main missions. And actually I found the first Stalker to be awesome.

Quote: snappity : I think this game and Mirror's Edge both show that the player character can feel more like a real person interacting with objects rather than a simple floating camera. I really appreciate that someone took the time to animate actions like your character's hands grabbing the roll bar of a buggy as you climb in. I can't think of another first-person game that featured such convincing contact between the...

Quote: Wrestlevania : The auto-save completes and I'm back in the game... just in time for the smoldering hulk of the supply truck to land right on top of me and kill me instantly... and it'd auto-saved me in that circumstance too... :frusty Lol. I take it you had to go back to an earlier save then? (Sounds pretty frustrating, but hilarious at the same time.) __________________ Alphabetti Spaghetti (my lame blog) Currently playing:...

Quote: Chris : I had similar issues unfortunately, but I was coincidentally reading today about the Stalker Complete 2009 mod, which apparently makes the game far more playable and smooth. I'm going to give it another shot with that. Sounds like a good enough reason to revisit for me, I'll get on that sometime soon I imagine.

Yeah I'll definitely say that a lot of the sniper and explosive weapons feel really good to fire and use, they did a good job there I thought.

Custard ruins the rifling and trigger mechanism.
