Thats a very weak excuse dagger. It is like Seeing a movie then if you want to equate it with something. You can see a preview and here others reviews it. Then you decide to buy into it or not. Just like a movie.

It is the buyers job to be aware of what they are purchasing. I just think that is irresponsible and again that store should have laughed at him. Im guessing he must have lied to return it which is even WORSE.




 


It's not an excuse, I don't personally do what he/she does, simply trying to explain to you why what happens in the world happens, since you don't seem to know. You can call those people whatever names you like, as long as demos are not available, this is the way it's going to be, and your rantings in a forum will not change it. 😛
 
Well i do know how it is in the real world, sadly. At least i feel better for ranting because of it and maybe just maybe one person will read what i said and change his opinion on it.
 


I doubt your rantings will change their conduct. Providing demos, on the other hand, will almost certainly be able to change it.
 



it would make it even easier to hack the DMR as the "hacked" executable would already be provided

They should just do away with DRM altogether, but whatever I guess
 


Err... Far Cry 2 was cracked in one day, like most other recent major titles. If it gets shortened by a few hours by that demo .exe, I doubt it'll make much of a difference anyway. 😛
 
Sorry to break the bickering here. I found a golden AK47 in the game last night. Anyone know what that is about? I found it on the table next to the diamond case sitting on the very east side of the map. I seems like it never degrades.
 


Rofl, can you sell it? :na:
 
Nice - Golden Ak? Thats sounds awesome.

Im really getting into the game at the moment. Im starting to appreciate a few of the elements that i initially overlooked.

By the way - the atmosphere at night is really great. And one thing you cant complain about is that there isnt enough action in this game. There are like check points and enemies all over the place for you to blast to smitherines :)

And i am seriously impressed with the animation and sounds of the grenades/explosions/rockets. Truly powerful and engaging.

Pity Fallout 3 is here ;P
 
Yeah as I play it more and get more weapon upgrades it is sucking me in. Now that I got the dragunov I can actually hit what I aim at...like heads...people...zebras... Plus it is a one shot wonder, not the full clip bs.

I heard a trick to set the FPS using the console command gfx_MaxFps #. That actually smooths the game play out even more for me. I set it to 55 and it holds pretty steady. Also, another good one is showFps 1 to see the FPS without running fraps.

I love how leaves fly off the trees when you blast them. I think it makes up for not being able to chop them down with your fists :)

Click to expand...

The problem with the trees is that only some of them are "real", with mostly filler trees mixed in, in the denser areas. What I mean is that if you look into a forested area maybe only 1 in 4 trees is an actual object which reacts to game play. So when you "blast" the trees you only see the effects if you hit one of the trees that is an actual object.

As for "chopping them down with your fists", I wasn't aware that fists were a weapon in FC2. Maybe you're confusing this with Crysis. In Far Cry 2 the default melee weapon is the machete. I don't think it's too much to ask that in a game which touts physical realism that a machete be able to clear at least some vegetation.
 
I didn't read through everything. But if your mouse is slow or just gets weird in the menus, or you are suffering from horrible FPS. Turn off V-Sync. :non:
 


In mine and two of my friends personal opinions it is borderline terrible. I would not recommend the game if you are looking for a good MP experience. Well I just really wouldn't recommend it for any experience tbh. lol

P.S. GO RED RAIDERS BABY!!!

Best,

im like 40% done with the game and im hugely disappointed. No "stealh O meter" no lean right/left? no prone? how can u have a game without the lean keys? especially if it was employed in the one b4 it? im not comparing this game to crysis, cause farcry 1 had a PLOT! something crysis lacked (honestly, anyone could of thought of tat awful plot.) Also if those genetically engineered apes dont come in the game later the game will be a dud. How can u make a completely differently game under the same name? And lastly wheres Jack?
 
geez thanks you guys, i was actually planning to buy the special edition, the one with the t-shirt and the 50km map. guess it wont happen. i'd probably get this one early january instead, hopefully the new COD will offer some good multiplayer.

im just wondering why many review sites gave this a fairly good score. even anderson silva had this on his trunks last ufc90. ubisoft sure knows how to pay people.
 
i am very disapointed with this game aswell there are little thing and big things
ok the 1st thing is when i put it on dx10 the graphics dont change at all and it slows the fps down the 2nd thing is when your driving a car the gears change but u dont change the gears and there manual wtf?! the 3rd thing with my old 9400gt its about 4 months old now in my dads comp anyway it kept giving me the blue screen of death when i would load a game the 4th thing crysis rules the 5th thing the destructible environment promise went down the tube and the annoyied me the 6th thing i break the tiny bits of a house that u can break i go over to my car bout 6 steps away look back at it and its fixed wtf???? 7th thing the flames u light 1 they look good though they follow you they burn nowhere else but follow uyou its so annoying and the last thing the environment looks good and all but when u look from a mountain there is the fog of war !!!!!! so much for long range view! crysis had it why couldent farcry 2 so dumb oh well i still have the game i just let my friends borrow it all the time and they say it is bad as well = :kaola: ubi u are bad game makers the only game i like that u make is prince of persia even know sometime u cant climb things that your ment to any thats all i have to say ubi get some tips of crytek.
 
Well guys after a second attempt to give this game some kind of good points it now sits on a shelf retired into the not worth messing with pile of games that really don't warrant another play through.

It reminds me of a B type movie you keep watching hoping it will get better and get to the end and realize you've wasted your money again!!!

The original FarCry ruled over this release, I forgot how many times I played back through FarCry it was a sheer joy to play, some here bash Crysis, but if you learn the suits capabilities and fully use it, it adds a whole different aspect to the game.

I would like to put in a plug for Left 4 Deads multi player team play, that game is seriously addictive, unfortunantly for me with a satellite internet connection my ping is too high to be smooth in the gameplay, That really Sucks, I do miss Cable being in the country.

Well back to Farcry 2, pretty much all the bad points of the game have been thoroughly covered in this thread of which I agree with completely, Farcry 2 was a total waste of money IMO!
 
I've played thru FC2 twice and I agree it's only OK. I didn't like the lack of realism with the guns. Did you notice that all of the bolt action rifles are left handed? Also, the lack of a single shot option on all of the assult rifles is bogus. And you have to travel so far to get from place to place, it's fun for a while but sometimes you just want to move up to the next goal.

But you are correct the feel just isn't as exciting as Far Cry nor is the scenary as assume.
 
compared to farcry 1 and 2 ,crysis is rubbish and boring.
Only too good graphics,addition of some imaginary suits and aliens never make a good game,it takes much more
yes farcry 2 is sometime boring during travelling but still its much better than crysis.
