GameXtract writes "One of the titles I will be picking up this week is Far Cry 2 for the PC. My rig is less than one year old, and I have complete confidence that my computer should be able to run the game as it was meant to be played. One aspect that separates console gamers, from PC gamers, are that PC gamers tend to have different experiences playing the game as there are many different settings that can change how you experience the game. One of the hottest features to mess about are the graphical settings as gamers are always looking for the most appealing graphics to play on without frying their computer apart. Xx3litesnip3rxX from the GT forums has helped us compare the different Far Cry 2 settings by capturing images of the available settings. The settings range from low with no shadows all the way up to ultra realistic. Just how realistic is ultra realistic? Find out after the jump!"
Comparison images after the jump.
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.
Far cry 2 on Xbox 360 will be the version to get. :)
You actually bothered to come into the PC section to say that, you just re-enforce everything I have heard about people that own a console. Just go away you are embarrassing yourself.
ha ha ha ha always wanted to see what first was like and my thought is its lonely with out someone elses words to read and comment on so to all the first people out there if your first your also last and to the subject it doesnt look different on either pic high or low they look the same to me ... but the game is great graphic wise on my 65inch mitsubishi 1080p but it only plays 720p but looks hot
looks like the console versions to me. i have the 360 version and it looks daaaaamn good.
Pretty bad representation for ultra high.
Here's it windowed on 1680x1050 ultra high 8xAA.
