''Far Cry is probably the most disconnected modern franchise. Trying its hand at so many things, only to go back to a proven formula. The first entry was the graphical benchmark of its day. Lush tropical environments rendered in beautiful fashion. Far Cry allowed players to roam around, choosing their approach to each situation.''
Far Cry debuted on March 23, 2004, meaning that next week, it will have been 20 years since Jack Carver first washed up on the shore of a tropical paradise teeming with hostile mercenaries.
I'd love a far cry pack with the original PC game (not the half assed port on ps360) instincts, predator even a port of far cry 2 to modern consoles back when these games had their own identity and weren't far cry 3 cut and pastel
There have been plenty of great villains in video games over the years. Now it's time for the VGU crew to name a few of their favorites.
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.
I loved FC2! Wouldnt mind even seeing a remake sometime in the future.
The world of Far Cry 2 felt so real. Far Cry 3 was great and Far Cry 1 wasn't bad, but I absolutely loved Far Cry 2.
Far Cry 2 was so friggin boring. Nothing but driving around. I enjoyed the first and haven't played 3 or 4 yet.
Repetitive mission, retarded ending, annoying checkpoint, boring villains, malaria, cheating AI = Far Cry 2.
The malaria really turned me off from the game the why they handled it was just stupid. The graphics where amazing for the time but everything else was mediocre I still remember how shitty the mp was.
