Let me start off by saying, yes I know Farcry 2 is not a MMO and yes I realize I’m reviewing a FPS on a MMO blog. However I do play games other than MMO’s and while normally I would refrain from posting about them here, I just could not resist considering how hyped up Farcry 2 was and how horrible the game acutally is.
Here’s a quick introduction to what the game is like. Drive 5 mins to a mission point, spend 5 mins getting your mission, spend 5-10 mins driving to your mission, spend 5-15 mins completing the mission and finally spend 5-10 mins driving to the next area to get another mission. Rinse and repeat for the rest of the game. Think of it as GTA except driving around is not fun at all, it’s the worst part of the game and you’ll spend about 50% of your time doing it. Then think of having to do basically the same mission over and over, with almost zero variation. What fun!
To make things ever better, you need to buy all your own weapons, which are mostly pointless. Here’s a great example. I used a “silenced” pistol to shoot a guard, before anyone saw or heard me, I ran behind a mountain and made my way to the back of the base. Without so much as a peep from me I had about 10 guards running to my exact location. WTF Ubisoft? Is there no AI at all? Does buying a silienced gun even matter if the comp knows exactly where I am regardless of how stealthly I’ve been? But what I like even better is when I’m outside a building with no windows and the guys on the inside shoot me through the wall even though they should have no clue that I’m there. No it’s ok, I doing mind playing a game with AI from 1995.
Moving on to the game map. This is a map you’ll use a lot and the best part is that it covers about 45-55% of the screen depending if you’re driving (45%) or walking(55%). No mini map at all unless you’re driving. However the minimap in cars is pretty much useless as it only shows about 200 yards around you, so you’ll have the main map open anyway and have about 1/3 the road blocked by the map.
Next up are diamonds, the currency that you’ll need to use to buy shit. You can either get diamonds by completing missions or by finding breifcases randomly thrown about the map. To finds a breifcase you need to use a radar that will beep green when you’re near a case. Best part here is you only have the radar if your map is open. WoooHooo! Why there is no radar on the UI is beyond me. I think developers goal here is to frustrate the gamer to a point that they take their mouse and shove it into their eye. So as a fun mini-game you’ll be opening and closing the main map about ever 10 seconds you’re walking to see if there are any diamonds near by.
Gun shops are by far the best mission givers in the game. There’s a handfull of these places around the map and guess what? Every mission is EXACTLY the same which you have to do in order to open up new weapons. Seriously it’s the same exact mission over and over again! I did 4 or 5 of them before deciding I would just use the weapons that are currently available. I couldn’t stand doing the mission again, it was that boring.
Jeeze, this list is getting long. Next we have the game animations. There’s basically an animation for everything, which you HAVE to watch. Off the top of my head there’s knocking on a door, opening a door, sitting down, standing up, getting padded down, healing yourself, fixing a vehicle, even a dying animation which is about 30-40 seconds long that cannot be skipped! The fact that you’re constantly doing all these things and have to watch a 1-2 second animation every single time takes some getting used to. While I love games that are realistic, please cut the crap that makes gamers bored as F@#K. I don’t mind the animations that are 1-2 secs, I can live with that. But when I die and have to sit there for 30-40 seconds as I watch my character fall to the ground, black out, get rescued, watch as they stand back up and get ready to fight again, it makes be want to quit playing the game. At least put in a skip button.
Finally you have everyone in the entire country trying to kill you regardless of what you’re doing. You start the game in a taxi who magically is able to drive around without being fired upon, however as soon as you try it everyone shoots first and asks questions later. It doesn’t matter what time of day, where you are or what you’re doing. You could be on a cliff viewing the wildlife and randomly a jeep will pull up and open fire. This is the most ridiculous attempt at trying to break up the boring and tediousness of driving around. Good job Ubisoft. Also thank you for making quick saves not actual save files. I very much enjoyed it the first time when I exited the game and came back the next day only to find out the last hr and half was not saved. ..|..
Being a huge fan of Farcry this game was the biggest disappointment in 2008. An absolute pile of shit, I only wish I could get my money back. On another note I see PC Gamer gave this game a 94%. Having been subscriber for 8 yrs going, I can only assume a huge pile of money was dropped on the table to get that score. To be very very kind, I would give the game a 60% tops.
Anando, can you please unblock my IP from the FC2 SUX site.
Sorry if i came across as rude, i was just trying to help you out, and got a bit annoyed because you ignored me and publicly flamed me, even though i was right.
exactly ..which leaves anyone overtly frustrated. Specially the knife part…!
Where do you begin with this piece of crap- i didnt buy it i borrowed it off a mate and just fail to understand the point- where is the enjoyment in being hounded by enemies who 3 minutes after killing respawn? How can i drive abt when every 10 seconds im stopping to repair my piece of shit car? It aint even fun its annoying, Also anyone noticed how the side missions are always on the opposite side of the map? Imean Jesus- you drive to an arms dealer in the south and he sends u up north! Go to the one up north and its back to the bottom of the map again! I have cleared the airfield at least 4 times already- i think i have had 3 missions there wtf? Oh and can someone explain to me how the hell you can suffer exposure in the desert at night?- Yesterday i got sick of all the roadblocks etc so decided to take drive around the extremities of the map- it worked, no enemies just cruising the dunes to my destination- all of a sudden the screen went blurry, like malaria. So i stopped and jumped out- next thing the screen blacks out and im shown an animation of me picking myself off the ground and the car was gone???? WHAT THE FUCK- THE MOON WAS OUT!
Oh and i forgot- the gold ak’s are just as shite as the rest of the weapons. i Picked one up on the east of the map early on, i have been doing side missions- only a couple of main ones so far. The gun is all tarnished now and even jams- so whats the point? I bought a brand new one from the dealer killed ten guys now that jams??? Tbh i think i could have made a better game in the time it took them.So many things wrong- how did they not notice?
i bought it, played over 50% and then it fucking crashed, gone savegame fucking loser game!!!
“Kiddies like” me?
Well it’s nice to know that at 37 years old, four and a half years of service in the British Army, one divorce and about the be re-married that you in your infinite wisdom consider me to be a child.
That you lot feel the need to get so upset over a GAME and constantly swear (never mind your terrible spelling and grammar) about it amuses me no end. It certainly speaks more about your levels of maturity than mine.
Yes there are a number of elements of the game design that annoy me the same as they do you but I’m still enjoying the game and I don’t feel the need to throw my teddy out of the pram. If you don’t like the game then cut your whining and moaning and go and play something else, there really are far more important things in life to get upset about I can assure you from bitter experience.
Anyway Happy New Year all and do play nicely with the other kids.
;o)
Just to add games should be fun and innovative- if u play a game and it annoys you were is the fun in that? Each to their own and all but everyone has a right to their own opinion and its great to hear them all. Look at it this way- a game is released, its sub par- it gets patched. Now if no one mentions the problems how do the dev’s know to fix them? There is a comment above where one minute a guy says the game bugs him- but its still a great game? How? If it bugs you then it has failed surely? You dont pay money to be annoyed by the very product you bought for pleasure, do you? You don’t buy a car and when summat breaks on it say well it looks nice, i can forget the fact the windscreen wipers don’t work do you? If u pay for summat you expect to feel you got your moneys worth and with Far cry 2 i certainly don’t, but as always it’s too late and they have ur money already.
To be honest i quite liked the game and i still do. About PC gamer’s review, I totaly agree i would of given it a 80% it’s certianly not ’90’ material.
good for you Bob , happy for you , now wath abaut as.
Did it occur to anyone here that getting this patch that you so desperately want might ruin the game for other people that like the game? Sure, you might enjoy it, but the majority of people that love the game could play it and think, “this has been really screwed up”.
Think about others please before you be selfish and go and get somehing that lessens the games enjoyment for others.
I have bin out fore a bit and now Im back and I see ther are many more replys som good and som bad, but everyone has a right to his or hers opinion.But its good to bee back oh and Anando I will chek out the changes on your site, and renemberd dudes ROCK ON!!!
Oh yeah while I was out I whent to a cople of game shops told them abaut FC2 thet they shud not sell them and even told them abaut this site and Anandos site but they didint lisen to me.Sory, Anando and Mike and everybody I faild you.But I wont give up I promis.
To pick up on more “points” that have been made.
The desert exposure issue. Most games that have a landscape of whatever sort usually have an associated map the delineates the area of that world. Therefore the game design must incorporate some kind of mechanism to indicate to the player when they are straying out of the map boundaries. Most World War Two games a la Call of Duty etc. use a minefield system at the map edges to keep the player away. FC2 is using a desert as a boundary, the player suffering heat stroke during the day and exposure due to the cold at night. In answer to another question:-
“Oh and can someone explain to me how the hell you can suffer exposure in the desert at night?”
It is quite well known that deserts are in fact bloody cold at night, that is why the player character suffers ill effects at night. On an historical note during the 1991 Gulf War an SAS patrol callsign Bravo Two Zero was dropped into the Iraqi desert north west of Baghdad with the mission to destroy a fibre optic communications line. Unfortunately the patrol was compromised and they had make their escape northwards towards the Syrian border on foot. Due to intelligence failings they were incorrectly clothed for the conditions, the winter of 1990/91 in that region was one of the wettest and coldest on record. Three members of that patrol lost their lives, one to enemy action during a contact near the Syrian border but the other two to exposure and hypothermia due to the extreme cold. The word “desert” does not exclusively mean “hot”.
When it is a generally accepted feature of many game to use a system to keep the player away from the edge of the map why is it now unacceptable for Far Cry 2 to use such as a system?
Ok now for the issue regarding the weapon “wear & tear/ stoppages” issue, along with the gold AK47. The game manual makes it clear that weapon stoppages and breakages are a feature of FC2. Now more often than not when a game has such a feature it is somewhat exaggerated when compared to real life and FC2 in no exception. Talking from plenty of experience I can assure you that even the best cared for weapon will suffer stoppage at some point in time. It is usually an issue of ammunition feed, a round getting stuck as the working parts try to feed it into the chamber. The cause when referring to most assault rifle is usually either a dodgy/poorly cared for magazine as they can take quite a battering in their lives or one of gas supply to move the working parts. Basically as the weapons fires carbon from the propellant builds up and causes the blockage of the gas vents which then means the working parts don’t receive enough of a kick to move far enough and a stoppage occurs.
FC2 simulates this but it is a game and therefore exaggerated, if stoppages and breech explosions occurred at real world levels it wouldn’t be worth including because it wouldn’t happen often enough. Even a new bought gun in FC2 will wear out with constant use. The solution? The player simply has to go into the storage building next to to arms dealer and swap the weapon being carried with the one that’s hanging on the wall. I’ve not had a stoppage with a purchased weapons since I started doing that.
Right the Gold AK47…. At what point would coating any weapon in gold make it perform and function any better than a standard weapon? Why would the gold prevent it from getting dirty and worn out if it was used? Gold plated weapons a decorative items usually reserved for the likes of morons like Saddam.
It was also said that people wouldn’t buy cars that don’t work very well. Well I agree, I wouldn’t but there are plenty of car enthusiasts out there that do have a love for a particular marque that may not be the most reliable going. But they still buy them anyway for some charm the thing has for them.
I’ve been playing computer games starting on a friends ZX Spectrum for about twenty four years and I have seen and sadly bought some bloody awful games in that time. For all it’s niggles and quirks I can still safely say that Far Cry 2 does not fit in that bracket, it is essentially good game that admittedly does need a few wrinkles ironed out.
Well said Marc! I second everything you said, especially the map boundaries part. Games like halo use invisible barriers. Using invisible barriers would just ruin the game’s system of an attempt at reality. Who, in real life has run into a wall you cant see? The heat stroke/hypothermia is, I think, the best way they could have done it.
The latest patch just screwed up single player. Look at the official Ubi forums. I suffered it too, had to uninstall the game, reinstall it, and NOT let the game install the patch.
The patch makes it so that at 30%, 52% or 84% of the game (may have gotten numbers mixed up) that your game will NOT continue. For example, walking into the APR HQ, no one’s inside, you can’t get out, you’re basically stuck forever.
Granted, this patch only happens to 80% of gamers (inflated statistic for humor effect). I mean, 80% is such a small number, Ubisoft, I can TOTALLY understand why you don’t want to fix it.
By the way, I just got banned from the Ubisoft forums for “abusing the forum rating system.”
Except I didn’t know the forum had a rating system… Apparently I abused something that I didn’t even know existed?
I git this game for christmas its soshit its as boring as fuck its bland gameplay and its missions which involve driving for about half an hour and getting shot at then dying going back to the start then having to drive again its shit the only decent thing is the map editor all in all i wouldnt even pay a tenner for this pile of steaming shit
People why don’t you try putting your views across in an intelligent and mature fashion? Constantly swearing and carrying on as if Ubisoft has a personal vendetta against you is quite idiotic. I come from a military engineering background so I can swear in ways you can only dream of. But this is not the place to do it. If you think it makes you appear big and clever I can assure it does not, so if you don’t actually want to sound like the biggest moron on the planet then try actually giving some thought to what you want to say and at least make an attempt to make some valid and intelligent observations. If you can’t do that then don’t bother saying anything at all and so save us all the bother of reading it. Oh and why not try a little spelling and punctuation in 2009? Go on be a devil!
Mark , we are not trying to sound smart , we are trying to salvage something from this game , so that all of our expectations of the game and money wont be lost .
FM I appreciate that a fair number of people are genuinely disappointed with the game, there’s no denying that. I do feel as a group you are in the minority however as the majority of what I have seen online and among my f riends and aquantances that own the game on either PC, PS3 and XBox 360 are on the whole very happy with it myself included. I’m about 18 hours into the game and despite a few small issues I have with it (enemy respawn for example) I am absolutely loving it . When I read a lot of the comments written on here it’s almost as if I’m reading about a completely unrelated game. there are people on here that have openly said they stopped playing after 20mins or 45 mins. How on earth can any person make a reasoned appraisal in that space of time? Hardly enough time to get through the options and set up!
I don’t have issue with people not liking the game, each to their own and all that. What I have issue with is people gobbing off like idiots, constantly swearing and generally having the articualtion of a trogladyte, indeed a trogladyte that appears to have had a serious blow to the head to boot. Also remember the full stop and the apostrophe are your friends! ;o)
Marc your right you can’t tell if a game is shit ore not in a cople of minutes, when I first played DMC 3 (the first DMC I playd) I thot itwas just one room and kill, I aktualy thoth it was stupid, but I kept on playing and it is the gratest game I ever playd!!!But I played Far Cry 2 fore a cople of days when I jugded it Shit and stupid, and I playd the game to the end, and I stil think its shit and a rip off and it dosen’t deserve its name, Far Cry was and is a grate game, this stupid game calld “Far Cry 2” is 10 times crapyer.
I agree with Dante DMC , i to played fc2 for a few days and i still agree with him and the other that think it is a terrible game .
Ok fine you guys don’t like the game but does it really need language such as”it’s shit” blah, blah, blah… How about trying to be a little more articulate? FC2 patently isn’t viewed as “shit” by a great many people out there numbering myself among them. Games, musical taste and films are a very personal and subjective issue regards what each individual may like or dislike. A great many people who say they want FC2 changed appear to have no regard for those such as me who like it on the whole just the way it is. As I have stated before it is certainly not beyond improvement, I would like to see the factions behaving in a rather more believable manner, I’d like the option to be able to bluff my way through vehicle checkpoints rather than it being a shoot on sight situation every time. Yes the missions could do with a little more flesh on their bones they are rather predictable. But even so I and many others are enjoying FC2 very much and will carry on to complete the game. I can’t honestly think of any games that I own that I would consider perfect. For example I love Armed Assault, the online community in my opinion is second to none and the quality of the user content is quite outstanding, all that building upon the similar slow and steady success of Operation Flashpoint a game which I still play nearly eight years after it was first released. But neither of those two games were anywhere near perfect in their original states with a good many bugs including quite dire original MP code. But each has a certain quality beyond my interest in the subject matter that has kept me playing them. Another example of what I consider to be awful in a game is in fact Crysis and allied to that the original Far Cry. Both games had solid real world settings during the early sections, I loved creeping through the undergrowth in Crysis fighting the North Koreans but sadly the game took a serious nose dive once the alien phase of the game was entered. All sense of tactics disappeared and the thing became and on rails borefest for me. But that did not cause me to throw a hissy fit and behave like a spoiled child lashing out at anyone they disagreed with me. In fact I didn’t post anything online about my feelings regards that game because although I was very disappointed by the latter part of the game that did not change the fact that I still rated the early part very highly. Now you guys appear to be able to find no redeeming features in FC2, which is a shame but I recognise that is the way you feel. The lesson for you there is simply to take it on the chin, sell your copy of the game and move on if you don’t feel the the producers will (if indeed they are even able to) patch the game to what you expected. Just those of you that are guilty of coming across like a bunch of socially inept ADHD sufferers please try and air your grievances in a more thoughtful and less abusive manner.
Look Mark , we are not asking thet you to change your game , we are demanding that our games change , you can keep your verzion of it and you cant ask of people not to swear , swearing is part of the worlds culture , i don like it but it is true .
P.S. Aliens are a big part of why Crysis is a great game .
So you patch your game, I don’t and in an instant a huge number of MP servers are inaccesible to me. Sorry FM that solution doesn’t work.
Regards the Aliens in Crysis (and the Trigens in Far Cry for that matter) I was citing them as an example as something I didn’t like, the gameplay in Crysis took a major nose dive once the player entered the mountain. But I did not go getting over the top and hating the entire game over it. With FC2 from what I’ve read here many people come over as just jumping on the band wagon and spouting hatred for the game without further explaining why, they just gob off with a load childish bile and venom. Even though the more articulate FC2 haters explained what they didn’t like about the game the vast majority of the points raised (the driving, the minimap/GPS, the various animations and the weapon wear & tear/stoppages) are actually features I really like in fact to remove they would be to remove much of the core of what FC2 was designed to be.
I will always maintain with a difference of opinion such as this over any game, music or film that if you don’t like it then don’t play it. I don’t like ABBA or Eminem but I recognise they are/were talented artists and many people do like, I however would not choose to listen to them if I was paid to. The same goes for games, if I don’t like it I don’t play it, I’m not going to throw a wobbler like a petulent child and make all sorts of wild demends especially when it is apparent that the vast majority of people actually like the game.
Look man , I am tired of argueing with you . If they didn’t name the game far cry 2 ther wudnt be any problems .
lol Dante its ok..they wont listen to us u dont have to worry about it and thx a lot for trying. Marc honest if you want to call something thats shit , nice ..thats your priority not ours. Why such vendetta against ubisoft? because I have not seen a more irresponsible gaming company out there. The least they could have done was reply to us or make a small patch make the changes. The game doesnt even have a MOD system, its terrible. Even gamers them selves cant take out mods to fix the problems. As for being cordial…we are cordial and open minded its you game lovers who started abusing us and point out to websites like farcry2world.com and then the owner of farcry2world himself agreed that the game is terrible. There is not much more to be said and to each their own. You love the game fantastic for you, we dont , we want it changed , its obvious ubishit wont change anything so ill keep that site running as long as possible to let everyone know that as soon as they google farcry2 sux my site comes up first and they know about the game and how it is and then they can make their own judgement!
As for your excuse on MP servers becoming invalid due to patch , thats the lamest excuse ive heard. Maybe you dont have STEAM games but they take out patches every month ..and the owners of the servers need to update themselves, thats how it is..lazy server admins can have empty servers the rest will update . Definately better option than playing a buggy game.
oh and “sell our copies” Yes lot of people now want to buy fc2 . Thx for that great piece of advice army man , why didnt we think of that. We suffer from ADHD , maybe you are right but heh i have enough attention to be happy with my girlfriend for 8 years now , maybe you need to give some more attention to ur new wife so she doesnt leave you too . Best of luck with that ! you need to be out there with her rather than picking fights with us “bunch of socially inept ADHD sufferers ” . BTW you got the whole concept of this argument wrong. Its not that we want to get our money back …i can buy 20 more fc2 if I want, I just dont want another idiotic gaming company to hype a game , not come out with a demo and then release a shit game and not come out with patches for it. Yes thats pretty much it OR i can download pirated games and not give a fuck but i hate piracy, dont know about you.
Anado my response to that was based on the rantings of various people about what they don’t like about the game, pretty much the core game design it would appear. So accessible servers or not the changes people appear to wan
I guess I spoke a bit too rudely. I apologise for that but name calling doesnt help the cause!
(continued due to user/keyboard interface error…. I hit the wrong key!)
… the changes people appear to want would changes most of the features that make FC2 what it is and why I like it. I wouldn’t call my experience thus far buggy, FC2 has design decision issues sure but not what I would call bugs in the traditional sense of the word.
The issues that you cited as disliking in your review would require a major redesign of the game to change. Now you have to ask yourself when many of the things you don’t like are design orientated rather than bugs what do you honestly think the chances of Ubisoft making changes that dramatic to the structure of the game? Now you might not like it but the fact is that in the great scheme of things yourself and others that don’t like many of FC2’s core features are relatively small in number compared to the number of people who have bought the game and are enjoying it. I’m afraid to say it simply isn’t going to happen. What that ultimately means is that all the posturing and complaining on here is futile. The best you can hope for is some gameplay balancing patches addressing some of the AI and weapon balancing complaints that I do agree need looking at. Like I said before I’d love to see more range in the missions types, the ability to use brain instead of brawn sometimes, eg bluffing your way past vehicle checkpoints instead of shooting and to have the power levels of various weapons to be tweaked to make things more realistic, hitting a person at five metres with twenty rounds of 7.62mm x 54R from a PKM really should drop a person!
I do hope you achieve some measure of success with these issues but you really are not going to get the level of changes you seem to want.
No worries fella, the only thing I took exception to that you said was you’re earlier assumption about my age. I did do a puffer fish impression over that one!
;o)
“YOU’RE assumption”?! and there’s me complaining about spelling and grammar. I’ll get me coat.
I know we wont get the changes from a company which doesnt even care to reply to innumerable msgs sent across by a number of people and I am not worried about that really, I am just running the site now so that people know about the game and about ubisoft, the end of the story! Really not the end of the world . Doesnt even bother me that they are acting irresponsibly people will automatically not play that game anymore. All that said the question comes to full circle as to why I reacted in such a knee jerk way is because I needed an incentive to make that website so I carried emotions with me otherwise I would have been to busy with my work and just forgotten about it.
ppl plz go sign the pledge on http://www.farcry2sux.com/
I don’t understand this “make the game fun fo your self”- shit. For example; if you buy a mortar and try to “nuke” a guardpost all you get is everyone running towards your position (when I’m miles away), and cars trying to run over you. The AI just fucks up the game so you can’t “make it fun for your self”. Sniping? Everybody knows where you are after the first shot (doesn’t matter how far away you are). Trying to kill someone whit a knife? One down and the rest running towards you.
This game sucks so bad! + I get sick when I play it. Don’t know why, think it’s the driving:S
Agreed Kro , the game is terrible. I used to get this weird headache when I used to play it..can u believe it I uninstalled the game at 80% ya..it only gets worse…every damn friend you make ends up dead for no good reason…friends dont do shit for u except coming and saving u once and then you have to find some safe house and ask them to come again. The phone only has incomming calls u cant call anyone at all and friends dont come out of any building , they are always indoors except when they come to meet you. There is NO ONE except mercernaries..no civilians or villagers walking around.

Okay, i feel really bad. I recommended this game to 5+ people and they all brought it, we’re all dissapointed with the game, what the hell happened Ubisoft? This was defo one of them hyped up bullshit games. It had big potential, i would actually rather the game if they made it more linear.. The online is just terrible, the servers might aswell just close now. I highly doubt they will be patching the game for the console versions and fixing everything, afterall this is Ubisoft Montreal we’re talking about, the creators of the repetitive AC & new PoP, they just obviously do NOT know how to create a game, they should fucking hire a kid as a director, they’d probably make a decent game then.
Ubisoft Montreal = BIGGEST DEVELOPER FAILUREZZZZZ.
YOU SHOULD HAVE USED THE UNREAL ENGINE AT LEAST, ITS BETTER THAN YOUR MODIFIED CRYENGINE1. DUMB FUCKS!

I think it is pitiful how someone running an MMO blog complains that Far Cry 2 is repetitive. I always assume that people who play MMO’s must have an enormous, MASSIVE capacity for repetition since ALL YOU EVER DO IS GRIND, GRIND, GRIND!
The irony…at least in Far Cry the graphics and weapons are engaging enough to keep most people coming back – as evidenced by the game’s universal appraise.
MMO’s like World of Warcraft has you endlessly going on boring quests, crafting stupid items, and you have to do it all in the game’s terrible-looking world.
This review is a joke, just like MMO’s are a joke.
WTF !!! Sign the petition please !!! Don’t you hate the game !!!
