gaggle64 Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 It can be a bit harsh, but I kind of like it like that - it adds a lot of tension to firefights and encourages you to find alternate routes to avoid trouble, knowing that there isn't an instant bailout if it all goes awry.
Dan_Dare Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 oh, fo sho. When it works it's fucking wicked. I had a mission earlier where shit kicked off royally. I was left with nought but a rusty AK, a bone dry Mac-10 and a single RPG round and I had to get half way across the Southern Map aaaaand kill like 10 heavily armed dudes with all sorts of kit when I got there. Pure adrenaline.
Aimless Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 I'd just like to add that this game is much better with the music turned off; the sound effects are excellent and they're really all you need. Far Cry 2 certainly isn't for everyone — and even if you like it, it will infuriate you at times — but it's a game of 'moments', of player made stories that you just have to tell people. There's a lot that could be improved, but if you're prepared to persevere then there's also a lot to appreciate.
