People who do not play FarCry 2 are missing out
Their loss
Thank you. It's crazy to see how much detail was lost when the franchise turned into Ubisoup
I dono how you can start at 2.. not playing FC, the original is a travesty.
To be fair the original might as well be a diffrent game. More simialr to crisis than today far cry whereas far cry 2 is basicaly the modern far cry with one incredibly stupid decision ruining the game thats probably fixed by some mods.
Which is the stupid decision. The malaria or the guns falling apart every fifth bullet they fire? I like the idea of both, but they're far too fast with too few ways to deal with them.
Thats fair, i like the crysis style better, which makes sense sine the original was a crtek game.
I remembered I gave it a quick try on PS3 but as my brain was very rotten with COD games at the time it never grabbed too much of my attention... But I still have it in my backlog.
The PC port of FC2 is a disaster though. I remember sitting through that long intro cutscene so many times, it just kept crashing before the first save point…
People complain about PC ports now (and rightfully so) but man there was a constant stream of garbage ports in the late ‘00s that were never fixed.
I have both the disc and the Steam version and I've never had a problem getting either to run. Especially that first cut scene never once crashed on me, and I must have started about a dozen playthroughs over the past 15 years, on vastly different hardware configurations.
FC2 was totally fine for me when I played it on PC, both close to release and later, I guess it just had issues on certain hardware...
