Far Cry 2 first impression

I have given up with this useless game completely now, what a load of crap. So sad that so many people waited so long for such a disappointingly cruddy game...that's it i've finished slating it now. I wont say any more on the subject (-P.S it sucks

).

Does anyone know how to fix the game to work again on my computer. Besides re-installing it, I kind of got into the game but I can't start up fully.

I'm 50% through this POS. I'm going to castrate the developer who thought malaria was a cool idea. F**king thing sucks!

I can't believe so many people are down on this game. I only picked it up last night for $20 at MicroCenter and I'm having a blast with it! Granted, it's not perfect, but, it's a wide open game that can be played pretty much anyway the gamer wishes to play it.

I just had an exhilarating gaming experience when I went to the Fort and assassinated the king. I had no idea exactly where he was located in the fort, but, I had sneaked into the fort without too much trouble. Climbed a couple flights of stairs and... THERE HE WAS ... standing right in front of me! Put a bullet right in his forehead and then waited to the action to begin. And, it did!!

After taking out a few guards, I made my way to one of the watch towers and, using the sniper rifle, cleaned out the fort.

Got his ring, the diamond, and other loot and even leaped over the broken natural bridge to get another diamond.

I'm still at a loss as to why this thread is filled with so many complaints about this game. I'm over half way through and totally loving it!

I've found something like 88 or 89 of the diamonds, so far, too.

If there's a complaint I have it's that the hang gliders are pretty difficult to control. But, I've only used a couple of them so far and it likely takes more practice than what the game allows.

The vehicle driving is, to me, awesome! It's much, MUCH better than the vehicle driving in Crysis.

I actually really liked this game >:

Just wish it had Jack Carver.

It was a ok game but it got really old really fast. I hated how after you killed all the bad guys in the area and then waking about 30 feet turn around and there back. I also hated how when the game gives you a mission you have to drive like 30 minutes to get to it. I was also hoping there would be more animals in the game would have been fun if you could have a lion follow you in a base or get a attacked by killer bee's or have a anaconda eat you alive.

I've finished the game and quite enjoyed it. I tend to play games a bit differently as I go along. That is, I change tactics and other things to give it some variety.

As for the areas get re-populated: Think about it a moment... These areas are under constant competition between the factions. If my character clears out an area, it seems logical to me that they would not be left empty for very long. Although, I DO agree that the game re-populates them a bit too quickly!

I also saw plenty of animals in the game. Even ran over a few with the vehicles.

But, I do also agree that the animals should have been more active and, perhaps, even aggressive depending on the species. Having a snake ... of any kind or size ... cross your path suddenly would have been quite an experience! I've actually had that happen in real life...more than once, too!

Ya I ran in to snake's like that to. what also fun when you find a yellow jacket nest while your mowing. I was stung about 9 or 10 time's befor I could get off my Tractor .

I honestly don't see this game as a Far Cry game
Repetitive driving with out a cretin goal...
