Hey everyone im quite new to the franchise,dont judge me and ive only played part one but i own all four im trying to make my way through all of them however playing far cry 2 gives me the notion that all parts have a different story line. Is that the case If so ill just skip far cry 2 and get right into the good stuff.

Personally, I have mixed feelings with Far Cry. The first game was good... the second one was OK.... but Farcry 3 was just awful in my opinion... The story line didn't make much sense and making all these make-shift objects seemed kind of stupid. I think... if you played One or Two and liked them... you might be disappointed with 3 and 4. If you're new to the Franchise... you should perhaps skip the first two and just play Farcry 3 & 4.

I like 4. Just like SBM said, I hate #3.

Far Cry 2 is a polarising game, some hate it and others think its great.
It occupies a similar space in my mind to Spec Ops where its making a point through its game mechanics. The people you work for are diametrically opposed to each other, yet there is no difference between them, their just warlords. Also that your just another gun in a war torn country, not some prophesied and all powerful white saviour like in Far Cry 3 and I assume 4.

Far Cry 2 had great potential, but there were too many let downs for me to take it seriously.

1. Insta re-spawn checkpoints
2. Very linear suicidal sycophant story
3. Too much malaria pill scrounging, no big bottles
4. Pickup weapons jam too much, even new weapons a bit much
5. No predators left it feeling bland and unrealistic nature wise
6. Gliders weren't placed well and were mostly useless.
7. Buddy system and random events weren't well implemented

I wish the guys over at the Ubi forums could see threads like this, because a handful of them are trying to make it sound like Far Cry 2 has a bigger following than 3 or 4.

honestly part 1 was cool but i prefer the predator instinct story line much better. part2 i just couldn't play 5 minutes without getting bored. I skipped it and started playing far cry 3 last night i must say the intro is pretty interesting the graphics are tight and im hooked hopefully it doesnt let me down
