Daft Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Anyone getting this? I want to pick it up for the PS3. Looks awesome. Anyone know what the reviews are like for the console versions?
Mundi Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I didn't care much for it, found Far Cry 1 to be boring but after reading some reviews I am giving some thought about getting it.
dwarf Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 It looks awesome but I think Resistance and Killzone will be enough for my FPS needs, if not I may pick it up. Why isn't there a Fallout 3 thread?
Chuck Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Im gonna go ahead and say this looks as good as Crysis.
Daft Posted October 21, 2008 Author Posted October 21, 2008 Why isn't there a Fallout 3 thread? Just fixed that. Personally I'm not that impressed by Resistance 2 so far although the beta might change that. I've never played the first Far Cry. Is this a direct sequel? Do I have to have played the first? http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=264329 Eurogamer gave it 8/10. The review reads worse tbh. I'm going to rent it.
Chris the great Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 its top of my xmas list, all the reviews ive seen have been great, and i really am all about the the open ended atm. not sure who reviewed the game, but it got 9/10 on gamesradar. ps3 for me, very excited. i want desperate battles involving guns that pack in, cars the break down and machettes to the face of my enemys. im also excited about far cry 2.
Dan_Dare Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 This isn't a sequel, Daft. I'd recommend you take a crack at the original though. The first few levels at least. Some really great game there. Just...goes to shit later on.
Solo Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I read the PC Gamer review, they gave it 94% (and they gave Crysis Warzone only 60%!) and pretty much said it was frikkin' amazing. I will pick this up on the 360 in due time.

Choze Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 The original Far Cry was made Crytek who went on to make Crysis. This is by Ubisoft. They also made Far Cry Instincts.

Gizmo Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Just read the Edge review of this. They seemed to be criticising it most of the review, but still gave it an 8.
Cube Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Just read the Edge review of this. They seemed to be criticising it most of the review, but still gave it an 8. Sounds just like their MGS4 review.
Chris the great Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 i wanted to buy edge today, wasnt at out WHSmisths. fucking mag never seems to be out on time

Ubisoft are great but opinions of Far Cry 2 are not exactly positive right now.
Deathjam Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Ubisoft are great but opinions of Far Cry 2 are not exactly positive right now. Shouldnt that be the other way round?
Chris the great Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Why not subscribe? i have -£149.54 to my name. a subscription would be nice but its not happening till i get a job.
Choze Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Shouldnt that be the other way round? Well i do get the impression Ubisoft spend more time on presentation than the actual game. People are not impressed with the gameplay of FC2 though.
Chris the great Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Well i do get the impression Ubisoft spend more time on presentation than the actual game. People are not impressed with the gameplay of FC2 though. total opposite impression to what ive been reading. very interesting. i had read that the start seems very harsh buts teaching the open ended nature. perhaps people who got a bad impression were using a different play style? i guess when somthings so open theres a good way and a bad way to do it. look at hitman 2, you could just kill everything with eyes, or could stalk your pray quietly. i guess this may be a similar case.
Choze Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Apparently the fps mechanics are quite weak and the game just is not fun. People are saying too much time to travel(checkpoints to stop at). Baddies take ages to die if no headshot. Guns are badly imbalanced, lots of area to play in but little gameplay. Supposedly Stalker is far far better.
Chris the great Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 well, its current meta critic score is 87 for critics, 8.7 for reviewers, so i'm going to assume its a very good game. plus, edge gave it an 8 and i tend to agree with most of what they say.

Make your own opinion. Alot of games that review well are not necessarily any good.
