Eric Schild writes, "I should get this out of the way: Far Cry 2 is not Far Cry. It's not even in the same realm of game as Far Cry. It is, in fact, Grand Theft Cameroon with a healthy dosage of awesome accents and general silliness."
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 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 person is either very immature or a child. I love how most people really like this game but a couple really don't. Which is fine but those reviews seem to not be able to say what's wrong with the game at all. They just go on listing the features of the game and say they didn't live up to the hype but they don't follow up by saying why. This person should also proof read their review because it has so my errors it's hard to even think it was written by someone older than 13. I hope most wont take this review too serious because I have this game on PC and I have to say it's not the greatest game ever but it's a really good game that everyone should at least try. It may not be for you but you should enjoy it if you like FPS that aren't linear.
The only problem i have with it is the AI is pretty terrible alot of the times they will just stand still shooting or drive towards you in a jeep hit or get stuck behind something and just sit there.
Is the reason for the 8.5 reviews instead of a 9 or a 10 is because it is ubisoft canada making the game???
rofl @ bison thing killing itself.
