Anyone here played Far Cry 2?

[thespanishcel]

Lately I'm getting lots of recommended videos about this game. From what I read most people didn't like it saying the game was too hard with its unfair AI that had perfect aim and hearing so stealth sections were a headache. Also that enemies respawned too much and ambushed or chased you while exploring the map making you lose lots of progress. But at the same time it has some fans saying it was a very cool game ahead of its time and the best Far Cry game.

Thoughts? Honestly I don't mind the old graphics and there are so few games set in Africa that this one seems really unique. But if the AI is that frustrating I won't bother. I played Far Cry 3 and was enjoying it (didn't finish it because my PC died and I didn't have a backup save file) but unsure if Far Cry 2 is similar. Fun fact I had the game for PC, it came with a videogame magazine. But at that time I had a potato computer that couldn't even get 30FPS so I uninstalled it quickly. And I don't have the CD anymore.

both are true
It has a lot of soul and a lot of tiny quality of life improvements that are lacking in modern far cry games, despite its frustrating AI (it's not hard, just bothersome)
It has its issues but it's like the first STALKER, EYE or New Vegas in the sense that it's a rough diamond that you could tell the devs put a lot of passion behind it

I played all Far Cry games and have well over 1000 hours in them in total.

FC2 had an ok story, but the mechanics and ai are too cluncky and frustrating to deal with. I'd say you should just watch a playthrough and skip the frustration of playing or play it using cheatengine and give yourself god mode.

Far cry 3, 4, 5 are masterpieces.

Far cry 6 is woke bluepill slop with glorification of troons and gays. Hard pass

Yeah but its severely bugged so sometimes the door to the 2nd mission is blocked by someone standing infront of it

I wouldn't say that the game is difficult, but the constantly spawning enemies are annoying and you need to constantly look for and take medicine for malaria, otherwise you will die. The game world is quite empty and boring, but the game is good in terms of graphics and physics even after so many years.

The Far Cry 2 enemies were Bullet sponges too, they were really annoying to deal with.

Far cry 3, 4, 5 are masterpieces.

And blood dragon too , playing as a cyborg was so badass.

Never did but it looks like a good game. Though I be rocking out STALKER.

 

[Retardfuel]

I did many years ago, amazing game, it starts boring but you will not regret it, I have also enjoyed far cry 3 but later games are a complete shit

I played it a long time ago on the ps3 i quite liked it. But there are some issues such as like getting ambushed what seems to be every 30 seconds when driving. You also have to look at your map a lot as there isn't one on your hud. And also weapons jam a lot especially ones that aren't store bought. But still i liked it for the setting and the gunplay was good as well to me at least. Plus it has a lot of detail for its time. You have those videos showcasing all the different weapon breaking and brutal healing animations.

Played a bit, frustrating AI, terribly aged gunplay and movement, story was aight IG but it was too slow paced for me ngl

 

[Stupid Clown]

It depends if you enjoy survival mechanics

 

[ordinaryotaku]

Yeah I did a while ago. Hard as fucking nutsacks but a great game nonetheless.

Far Cry 1 was magnitudes worse in terms of difficulty. The Dark Souls of all FPS games. I think the only Far Crys I haven't played through yet are FC3 and Primal.
