best far cry game by far, but contrarians on Sup Forums give it more hate than it deserves

worst far cry game by far, but contrarians on Sup Forums give it more praise than it deserves

this

0/10. Awful in every department. Even runs like shit.

Stupidly bugged but underrated game.
I had fun creating multiplayer maps for Lan parties

It's a real fun game, the drawback is it feel's like there is no story alot of the time, but it's great for just roaming, surely better than the following games.

I love it, but it's not for everyone.

Ive heard theres a good mod out there that fixes a lot of FC2's problems. Anyone tried it? Cant remember the name

I couldn't get into it when I played it. It's one of those games I often think about restarting and trying again but I'll probably die before I get around to it, lol

Every major character in this game dies it's a masterpiece in storytelling

>he couldn't get more malaria pills

be mad, faggot.

It seems great at first but it quickly becomes tiring. Every mission has you driving across the map through several checkpoints, stealth doesn't work and your car is broken.
I started and dropped this game 3 times.

Worst mainline Far Cry game but still a pretty good game with the Realism Mod.

Probably Dylan's Mod. I've never tried it because I think the game is fine as is.

Really wish there was a way to fix the tiny FOV

Malaria was a fucking stupid idea. I honestly am at a complete loss as to how anyone thought it was a good idea. This game came out like, what, 7 years ago now? I still find it completely baffling that someone thought "let's give the player a frustrating a serious debilitation. This will make for a good game" I mean fucking seriously, I gotta occasionally press F to not fucking die. There's no depth, it's just the game realising that you may be having too much fun and so in comes the anti-fun mechanic waving its dick around to ruin everything. Which would I rather do - shoot some fucking bandits and blow shit up, or go drive across a barren wasteland to go see some nigger in a mud hut so that he can fill up my "press F not to die" pills so I can play for the next couple of hours with only minor amounts of frustration. Combine that with the long, drawn out, interrupted drives to missions and you've successfully ruined your game. Good fucking job Ubisoft. Thank you, for taking this fun away from me, I didn't really want to progress thought the game any way. I love popping pills. In fact, give me a bunch of poppers so that I can readily let you FUCK ME IN THE ASS.

>Oh no, I have to occasionally press F
>Oh no, I have to do a sidequest to get more pills
>So I can occasionally press a button

You're a whiny fucking faggot. Far Cry 2 was awesome.

STALKER in african setting, easily the best FarCry after mods + malaria removal tweak

The enemy audio is pretty fucked it sound like they are right next to you when shouting

>defending objectively bad game design
>not knowing how to reply

Hee hee.

Shittiest stealth system ever made (no way to get stuff done);
about anything else, it's a nice hardcore free roam fps

also kill a lot of niggas

open gamemodesconfing.xml

do the following


replace with

Notice Infamous stands for Infamous difficulty, change as needed, works really well with infamous fusion mod

I played it on console. I figured saying "press F" would make my post more relatable than "press LB".

Would've been alright if not for the instantly respawning outposts. Literally ruined the game for me and I soon dropped it after I discovered that.

Well it runs on budget laptops nowadays so if you ever want to give it another go just use that to remove malaria
infamous fusion removes some of the checkpoints IIRC

>no stealth

Its literally just an fps dressed up like a farcry game

Also has the worst, least memorable villain and story from any

Its just a killing african niggers simulator

3=blood dragon>1>2>4

stealth can be fixed by mods

Also Jackal tapes were really good imho

I actually like the malaria, gun condition, map+gps

it was the lackluster generic fps combat that ruined the game for me, and the complete lack of influence or consequences your actions have

>im going to work for both of the competing factions bc they don't care hurr

>using IEDs to blow up columns in the jungle
>decent gunplay
I liked it, it's a shallow experiance but it's pretty fun.

>>Also Jackal tapes were really good imho

Yeah, they were really fucking good as far as video game writing goes. What was the deal with him (and some of the other NPCs) slightly too quick, though. Were they trying to trim the game's file size or something?

>stealth can be fixed by mods

really?
does it just upgrade it to a facry 3 cresent system?

>Also Jackal tapes were really good imho
they werent bad, and i always enjoy the theory that jack carver from the first game was the jackal

but Vaas and Kreiger blow the jackal out of the water on that level

Pagan Min a shit doh

Malaria/10

Does this turn off malaria or something?

I think they had trouble fitting it on 360 dvds
I liked pagan min but there was nowhere enough of him, wished it had tapes like 2 desu
Yeah

Image pretty much sums up why I played through the game three times

Also stealth is great, if you've got the camo suit and a silenced makarov. Just sneaking around pssshnothinpersonneling people (headshots with a silenced weapon are the only way to stay hidden)

Also about stealth no it doesn't upgrade to fc3 system it just makes that stealth suit or w/e more efficient at hiding you

Actually now that I think about it I loved stealth in this. It was definitely hard as fuck but if you managed to pull it off it made you feel really good. Kinda dumb for every AI in the area to be alerted if you don't pull a perfect headshot though, but it did add to the intesity of it

Malaria as a mechanic was annoying. I don't know if I'm remembering it correctly but I think there was a big riot in the second act that was very cool. For a shooter I thought the gun mechanics were pretty bad, I hated how crappy all the guns got.

It just needed a good visibility indicator for it to be really good.

>I liked pagan min but there was nowhere enough of him, wished it had tapes like 2 desu

true

he was probably the second most interesting villain, he just wasn't in the game at all

Also the side characters in 4 (golden dawn cunts) were shit compared to 3s like Buck and the drugged out pharmacist
It just felt less inspired on the whole

does it fix the silencers too? that sounds good enough to maybe finally finish the game without rushing through it gritting my teeth

Weapon degradation is too limiting. It's no RNG, rather a fixed amount of shots.

Outpost is too tedious as fuck. They respawn too fast.

Patrol is annoying especially during mission.

Enemies are bullet sponge. Emptying an assault rifle is pointless, headshots doesn't kill them instantly. Forced to use sniper/semi automatic ones.

I read something about how the malaria on consoles was bugged for a long time so it happened like 5 times as often. On current PC it happens MAYBE every 2 hours.

2cry bestcry, i even liked having malaria I thought it was cool at the time like a side-quest anchoring your motives to the evacuation quest line. also fucking loved the level creator, I didn't have anyone to play with so I just built deserted desert shanty towns and surreal desert monuments and mountain monasteries and shit

I figured out early on that the silenced makarov is pinpoint accurate on the first shot unless your target is really far away, so I just rolled with that. Got through 99% of the game just sniping people with it. But yeah the tension is palpable once you fuck up and miss or shoot somebody near other people

One of the most overrated games on Sup Forums

It's fucking terrible
Far Cry 1 > 3 > 4 > 2

It's shit.

disagree desu, being alarmed immediately if an enemy spots you removes from the intensity of stealth
no it just makes stealth suit more efficient, its dylan's mod btw but it hasn't been updated in a while and the creator is ded according to /k/

just get infamous fusion instead, it wont touch the stealth but it touches so much more

Also I agree on the golden dawn cunts, annoying as fuck the lot of them
yea you really had to make no mistake for succesful stealth, I didn't have the patience to get through most of the missions but trying it out on side stuff was always fun

>3rd second
>when 4th is 3.5 with more content

infamous fusion yo. Also use malaria tweak

2 with mods > 4 = 3 > 1 > vanilla 2

Sorry I LOVED 1 on release but the hacking AI annoys me to no end nowadays

It's just garbage.
>melee is complete shit, let's get that out of the way
>guns get jammed after like 3 shots
>no stealth, at all. Niggers can and will smell you a mile away
>enemies never get their guns jammed
>enemies almost never miss
result: your gun is jammed, and some nigger is shooting between your eyes from 200 meters away, with a rusty pistol

And that's just combat.

Game wasn't bad, but it had a lot of problems that made it unplayable: malaria, who thought this was a good fucking idea?

Enemies could spot you anywhere as long as you were in range, e.g. I got spotted while under a bridge by a vehicle driving over it.. they somehow looked through the solid bridge at me.

Multiplayer was pretty fun and map editor was good.

I never bothered with the campaign when I realised I couldn't freely explore without having a stupid malaria attack and I didn't want to be forced to run side missions just to get more pills to be forced to do more campaign, to do more side missions to stockpile malaria pills so I could actually fucking enjoy the game. However the multiplayer redeemed the game for me, played tonnes of user generated maps and mini games.

>stealth can be fixed by mods

Stealth was never broken in the first place, it's just that people have been molded into thinking that once you first get detected you're screwed and should run away.

Stealth was actually really intuitive, as enemies would converge on your last position. This means that you can set up, pop a guy, then quickly move to another position. The enemy soldiers will head to your last known position, giving you an opportunity to flank them and repeat the process.

The Jackal is also easily the best Far Cry villain hands down.

best farcry game
series went to sit after that.
only problem with the game is fast spawning guard posts ad the stealth is pretty shitty.

The game still looks beautiful now and no game has managed to get the fire physics right like farcry 2 has.

weapon jam, and degrading is one of my favourite features in an fps game. shame no others used this.

>Jackal
>villain

Malaria attacks happen once in a blue moon and the sidequests are just like clearing checkpoints except you get pills in the end. I mean the mechanic is utterly pointless but I don't see why it's such a big deal

*sidequests to get pills

>melee is complete shit, let's get that out of the way
it is about as viable as you would think brining a machete to a gun fight would be
>guns get jammed after like 3 shots
no it doesn't
>no stealth, at all. Niggers can and will smell you a mile away
its Africa dude, niggers got home court advantage, stealth has never not been for cowards anyway
>enemies never get their guns jammed
true, I never thought to complain about it though
>enemies almost never miss
so don't get shot at dumbass. duck and cover

The game's IMFDB page is fucking hilarious: imfdb.org/wiki/Far_Cry_2

malaria can also be removed since like forever, too bad it couldn't be on release though

in retrospect its my absolute biggest complaint about the game because respawning checkpoints were a quick fix with the proper arsenal but this had you needlessly running all over the place when I just wanted to play my stalkeresque african sim

My favorite Far Cry game.

I got mad at the part where you kill your friends but after I realized it was just the natural conclusion to our relationship.

kek it probably had /k/ommandos do their job with it, this game was pretty loved there

there were somethings that were incredibly shit like malaria, checkpoints respawning almost instantly and the weapons degradation. not the fact there was weapons degradation since it was neat but how it was handled. watching a gun go from pristine in the enemies hand while hes shooting you to worst possible condition the second it touched the ground was stupid. it just encouraged you to travel to a gun store constantly to replenish instead of looting as you went. it was great having guns blow up in your hand.

the buddy system was godlike and its a shame it never returned.

>Save that one guy three times from dying
>Shoot him in the end anyways
The story sucks anyways, everyone talks too fast and doesn't make any sense

I always thought it was the voice actor trying to sound slightly unhinged.

It works for the Jackal but EVERYONE does it

I'm pretty sure that most video game IMFDB articles are actually written by the same guy.

He has a YouTube channel: youtube.com/watch?v=FzvY0cLKruQ

with the exception of the reporter your "friends" are amoral mercenaries out for plunder, you helped each other because it was mutually beneficial.

Yeah but I can't even remember why I had to kill them all in the end

>respawing checkpoints and enemy cars with turrets on EVERY FUCKING STREET

Boring and repetitive. Nice sound, graphics and atmosphere though.

that mod that gives it more color
that mod that makes it harder and the damage more realistic.

God tier game once modded, too bad about all the driving though.

>not just using the bus

>implying 90% of the game wasn't this

I hate that fucking GPS. Wish it was statistic instead of rotating.
Was useless as fuck.

Also
>not this

Interesting first 2 hours and boring after.

Not bad desu

Ive never been able to get through it ive restarted it maybe 3 times because I never properly backup my saves. I always get bogged down with the tedious checkpoints that respawn as soon as it gets out of your LOS and where you have to drive all the way across the map for each mission.

I just finished FC3 yesterday its pretty crap too but the quick travel mechanic made it tolerable.

These games are open world for the sake of being open world they are so bare and lacking any substance.
