The best Far Cry is actually Far Cry Instincts the xbox port but we are not ready for that conversation since Crowbcat didn't make a video telling you how to feel about it yet
but also top 10 FPS? Cmon I am being an asshole here and maybe im overstating Farcry 2s issues but top 10 FPS? Well this place is called RPGcodex and not FPScodex so....
Not sure what video you're talking about but ok. Bought FarCry 2 on release day and finished it twice. And ive been playing FPS games since Wolf3D so ive played my fair share. There isnt an FPS out there that delivers the same experience as FarCry2, while there are a million Doom clones. So yes its Top10.The best Far Cry is actually Far Cry Instincts the xbox port but we are not ready for that conversation since Crowbcat didn't make a video telling you how to feel about it yet
I was about to bitch about this. The balancing makes zero sense to me. The PP-19 (Zubr-19) Somehow outclasses every other weapon I've found and all you have to do is walk to the duty base and buy it. But wait, along the way you can also pick up the very good Vector which also fires the same round for free along with an extended mag. The games whole balance system is based around the idea that the player will follow the main story and not going anywhere else first...in an open world game.Jesus Christ, people weren't joking when they said that the second half of the game is bugged to hell and back. I've been working my way further north on the map and there are a lot of side quests that seem to just not work at all. I just moved through the red forest and came out in the zone just north of it (I forgot the name) and the game just keeps adding random weapons to my inventory and sometimes directly into my hands. I'll suddenly notice that I can no longer sprint far and I'll be overloaded with 2-3 new weapons randomly in my inventory.
Also, someone compiled a chart with weapon stats and the stats are just all over the place:
It again gives me the impression that devs did not have time to do even basic things like weapon balancing. Certain unique weapons being worse in every single way than their generic variants makes no sense at all.
It is not like you need it. I am more sad that whole middle and right side of map has techs that cannot modify half of the cool weapons you find and ammo for good sniper rifles are super hard to find.I was about to bitch about this.

First thought that comes to mind to counter Far Cry 2's exaltation is the retarded system checkpoint guard system that's designed to get you off your vehicle to engage in tedious combat encounters. They almost feel like the "random battles" in JRPGs.
I use snipers vs humans and zombies for easy headshots ftom bigger distance.
MAYBE I could understand if you used the wrong symbol, but even then we'd argue whether Farcry 1 is better than Stalker.
Ubishit trash.
FC1 was alright, the rest are just various degrees of shit. You can get some guilty pleasure from some of them though.
For Sircaa the problem was not ammo but how fast weapon quality goes down. Both my weapons had quality drop to under 60% and started jamming a lot so I started using weapons from dead prople that had better quality. Then I went to the ship first to have shit repaired (closest place that can do it, also tried that big Ward base but it was zombified) and then to Zalisya
I didn't even attempt going south after having to scrap most of my saves attempting to save Zalissya. I wasn't sure on how much time I had or even what the trigger actually was. I had attempted to go to Cordon but that didn’t work. So if I had to guess, leaving Zaton is the trigger?
Too bad it's an outlier, and a lot of fantastic ideas from Far Cry 2 were not adopted, not even by Far Cry itselfIt feels like the first stealth game explored everything there was (Thief) and every other game just says fuck it, "crouch = stealth".
Far Cry 2 is fucking garbage that had good fire psychics and a multiplayer map creator stop trying to act like its the greatest FPS game ever made. "Fantastic Ideas" why yes I want to take daily doses of fucking malaria pills, guns falling apart after 3 shots, and African Rebels having better road security than the road to Mexico going into USA.
