Gorgeous New Jungle gameplay footage from the Xbox 360 version of Far Cry 2. The 5 minute video shows off an amazing jungle with even more amazing sound effects and noise, making the jungle almost seem real. Be sure to put your volume up to hear all the minor details.
If you’re new to this long-running franchise, we’ve got you covered.
2 and 3, pretty much the only ones i really enjoyed. 1 was amazing for the time but aged quite poorly. 4 has the elephant gun, all i can praise from any entry after 3 lol
Ummmm 3 than stop.
Okay maybe two as well. But yeah probably 3 and then move on.
Far Cry 2. People constantly rant about games now being too easy, holding your hand, having too many unnecessary RPG-lite leveling features, etc. People specifically complain about open world games being too focused on tons of collectibles and "checkmarks" that just waste time.
Far Cry 2 is an answer to all of those complaints. It was made by Ubisoft before they fell into all the traps discussed above (and before they started inserting towers into their games to defog the map). It has respawning enemies, weapons that degrade, and the collectible diamonds are very useful in the game (which you find in a similar way to the way you find shrines in BOTW with a radar system). The map you have is an in game item you pull out while playing, not a pause menu that is unnecessarily detailed. Also the enemy AI and physics are much better than later entries in the series.
It has a mixed reputation because people at the time said it was too hard, the weapon degradation was annoying, and then respawning enemies were annoying. FC2 came out in 2008, so this was before games like Dark Souls and BOTW had come out and made it cool to like these types of features.
GF365: "There are some games with extraordinary visuals that impress us to this day. Here are old games with outstanding graphics."
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.
It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good
The Far Cry series’ best game – not Far Cry 6 – just got more brutal and realistic thanks a mod than revamps and remakes the classic Ubisoft open-world FPS
Far Cry 2 where your guns never ever jammed until you got into a gunfight is their best? I disagree.
Far Cry 2 may certainly not be the most "fun" game in the series but from a narrative standpoint it definitely is the most interesting of the bunch. FC2 couldn't be further away from the pointless fragfests that the following episodes turned out to be.
my goodness, those sound effects are surreal. They add an awesome atmosphere to the game. And the console version of the game looks damn good!
Looks better than anything coming out till end of 2009 on any console. Beats grey overloaded Kz2 graphics anytime.
Glad my 299$ console is doing what a $1500 pc does.
Wow, they really took gun jamming to a new level. Anyway, I really like the amount of detail put into this game and I can't wait for its release.
This game is close to the current PC milestone.
I seen jungle footage so detailed, graphics so advanced, the light from the sun shined through the leaves in such a realistic way I couldn't believe what I was looking at.
Warhound is going to be up there with this game too.
I hope "Safe house" is an actual name of a hotel or something, because otherwise your "safe house" isnt very "safe" if its advertised on a street sign. ;)
Was the reloading thing a bad "active reload" type penatly or is that doing to be random gun jamming. I hope for the former.
This game is really looking good though. I enjoyed the first one so this one is definitly on my list.
