Far Cry 2 - Should I Buy It

[Wayne]

Okay, so I saw some screenshots of the game today and the graphics look great but I haven't played Far Cry, the first one, so I'm unsure of what the game is about etc. Could anybody care to explain? Is it worth getting?

[Technologic]

its been getting good review but it aints out till friday so give it a week and wait for some feedback on here first

[Wayne]

Okay, cool thanks. :)

Convinced yet?

[Wayne]

Looks cool, thanks for the link. :)

[J0SH]

No problem. :)

A little more information and stuff. ;)

[Wayne]

I'll watch that now, thanks. :)

Not for 40 quid apprently. Good friend of mine got a copy and says its dead good, takes a while to get into but it isn't worth the full 40 whack.
I'll probably pick it up on shift or something.

[Wayne]

I've seen it for £37 pre order. The graphics are what's interesting me into buying the game.

[mangle]

GRAPHICS *****!

Sorry, couldn't resist. I like the Sandbox style of the game, looks pretty good. I reckon it'll be adecent game. Not an amazing one though.

[Wayne]

What was the filtered word?

[Technologic]

Another word for a common garden tool i think, and i agree with poojie

[Fez]

Some people are calling the story ''a masterpiece comparable to Bioshock''

I still don't get what you mean by the filtered word. :P

really? The reviews ive been reading only go on about the graphics and map editor lolol

[Fez]

Ah, well I read some independent blogs and shizzle, but the story is supposed to go deeper than just 'go kill this guy pls, plus u haz dises lol'

just like it went 'deeper' in crysis

*cough alienz*

[Fez]

Ugh, Crysis was overrated even before we had the first gameplay video.

[Wayne]

If aliens are in it, I'm not buying it. Games which are spoilt by aliens are crap.

That's Crysis not Far Cry. Don't worry, no aliens in FC2. I'm also tempted by FC2,.. I don't know. It seems like a decision from my head not my heart.

[Wayne]

Good, no aliens is cool. :)

[mangle]

I'm STILL undecided. It could be amazing but it could just shrivel up and die in light of whats coming out at the same time.

[Wayne]

Yeah, a lot of great games are coming out over the next few weeks/couple of months. I might need to rent it first maybe.

[J0SH]

It's going to be amazing, imagine just creating the ultimate map and putting sniper towers on the mountains and stuff and just taking people out with them not knowing where you are, imagine how they would react on mic. :P

[Wayne]

That does sound cool Josh. :)

[Andys]

I should be gettin far cry 2.
Althought the firsrt game didn't have amazing graphics it's gotta be one of my favourite games of all time online.

Can't wait.

[mangle]

I didn't like the first one that much, never really gripped me.

I didn't really give a flying f*** about Jack whatever his face was.

[Andys]

Heh Jack Carver was cool :D

I really want this game but no monies :'(

[mangle]

Out tomorrow, hmmm.

[Josh-H]

I'm still undecided.. It should be great... but it's not like BUY ME.

[Wayne]

I'm out in town tomorrow, might be tempted to buy it.

[mangle]

I might pick it up if im working Sunday.

[J0SH]

I think my mum has it now along with Fable 2, I'll be building so many maps :P

[Fez]

It's a great game, but it's a tiny bit shallow, multiplayer is bigger than I imagined - I'll have a review by the end of next week.

[Wayne]

Cool. A review would be helpful.

[Josh-H]

I've just rented it. It's pretty good so far, nothing special.

[Technologic]

It's a really good game the only bad point is they just throw you into it with no intro :l

[Wayne]

That's a bit stupid having no intro. I saw some gameplay of it today on PlayR and it got 9/10.

[J0SH]

It's a really good game the only bad point is they just throw you into it with no intro :l

What do you mean? On story mode I got a really long cut scene of to where you are and what's going on.. :S Plus if you've played Far Cry 1 you don't need a proper long cut scene.

[mangle]

It's not even related Far Cry tbh

[PaulMacC]

A few of my friends got it for PC and Xbox360, they said it's good but not great.

[Josh-H]

This game has REALLY grew on me, I love it now.

[J0SH]

This game has REALLY grew on me, I love it now.

Me too, it's good how you can upgrade guns online too :P

[mangle]

I like it, little annoying with the stiffness of the senstivity but im sur eill pick it up.
I'vegot dead space to play after this! :)

[Josh-H]

My main issue, too much driving round.

[Technologic]

My main issue, too much driving round.
And the fact there's a group of thugs that will lynch you around EVERY corner

[Fez]

And the damn jamming can get a bit annoying

[Technologic]

I generally use the flamethrower in place of guns

[Fez]

I die, and let my buddy do the work.

[Technologic]

It's annoying when your buddy dies and then starts insulting you for not helping him when you are trying to fight off like 30 people with machine guns

[Josh-H]

Seriously, I don't care about the too much driving anymore. I love this game, its superb.
