The Vgtilt has finally gotten our copy of the game and we are excited to play it, but the install is off putting.
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.
"This means if you buy Saints Row 2, bio Shock, Far Cry 2 and Fallout 3 you're going to be out 17gb of space on your hdd's"
Can sony do something??..im sick of my games screen tearing, and installs and games runnning megearly. I dont care WHO'S fault it is, it doesnt change the fact that this is happening.
why can xbox360 - an incredibly defective machine - run these games WITHOUT installs, and in some cases run them smoother.
i only own a ps3. And this is crap.
Good.Less loading times and smooth framerate make the PS3 version superior.PS3 wins once again and again and again.
Sorry xbots:(
I'm more angry as to why the installs and the game doesn't improve. I rather a game install to help the game run better and smoother than a game that doesn't install. I think Sony drop the ball this gen, Socom is halfazz and thankyou sony for ruining it. I got rid of my 360 because it suck and now Socom was the biggest disappointment to me this gen. Oh well let's see what RE2 and killzone2 have to offer..
wow and I care why? I have a 320gb HDD I think I will manage. BTW if you haven't upgraded by now then get on it.
I didn't know that Far Cry 2 required a PS3 install and this is very good to know, and I do plan on buying it, but I really don't see what's the big deal about an install. I probably would have read about the Far Cry 2 install for the PS3 in the next issue of the Official Playstation Magazine in their review of the game, but I guess it's good to know before hand.
As soon as an article is approved about a PS3 game having an install usually flamewars and fanboy comments start going back and forth on N4G, it's just ridiculous.
I still have my launch 60GB PS3 and will be upgrading to a larger HDD sometime early next year, but I have plenty of space to last me until then.
