Is this the best game in its own franchise?

>>390056369
Why didn't you just say "is this the best farcry game"?

yes and no

>>390056369
it's definitely better than 3 or 4
I didn't play the first so I can't say but I recently had to make more space for my HDD and had to decide between deleting 2 or 3(deleted 4 a while ago) it wasn't a hard decision

>>390056369
short answer ? yes. love those golden AK's

>>390057096
I'll never understand how people prefer 3 to 4.

The stories and characters in both are atrocious but 4 has a better setting and gameplay.

And if I had to pick between each games meme character Vas or Pagan Min I'd pick Pagan Min.

Far Cry Instincts says hello

>>390057393

>>390056369
It's a bad game and a bad Far Cry game too.

I honestly don't give a shit about all the political rhetoric people like to spout about the game.

I think it looks like a romp.

>>390056369
Absofuckinglutely

Stealth is broken. So I guess in FC3/4 they decided to make stealth easymode overpowered.

>>390058524
Political bullshit aside, its gameplay is going to be nearly identical to FC3 and 4. That's all Ubisoft does now, is stay in their comfort zone.

>>390056369
everything except when killing an enemy. it feels horrible the animations are so stiff

>>390056369
FC1 since it had a unique supernatural element to it and doing many aspects different and right in a world filled with ww2 combat games. Now it just probably/maybe stealth since gunplay isnt really satisfying, the ai not really interesting to fuck around with and the story nonexistent at best for how bad it is and the open world. FC died with normalfag FC2 and was kinda ressurected through blood dragon.

>>390059121
>supernatural

you mean sci-fi

>>390058898
It's so powerful and satisfying that I can't believe how few people took the time to figure it out. Silenced shotgun and the MP5SD do fuck all, but the makarov allows to you stomp through bases. You don't go completely undetected all the times, but you appear, kill with headshots, and pull out. You can easily slip into and out of the senses of mercs. Not just "FULL SNEEK MODE" or "ALARMS ARE BUZZING AND PULL OUT YOUR ROCKETS." It took nuance.

>>390058965
Ubisoft is weird these days, they either stick directly into their comfort zone or make shit like siege and grow home. I honestly think they're getting better with time after the assassin's Creed/far cry remake-athon dark years

No, it's just the least shit, and that's fucking saying something.

>>390056369
Between stealth mechanics that plebs couldn't handle, a mortar that actually took skill and planning, and gunplay that strongly rewarded headshots I dug the hell out of this. Enemies were bullet sponges everyone complained. A headshot from any weapon took them out. It was like people were just too thick to figure out the mechanics since babies first game was COD.

>>390059571
/pol/ is saying after decades of insisting that killing brown people isn't racist, they now insist that since you kill white people in the new one, it's racist.

I can't recall much about FC2 these days but I specifically remember liking the fact that they all went down like human beings instead of being bulletsponges. 2-3 shots to the chest kills them, a shot to the leg wounds (and their mates might come out in the open to help a downed enemy), FC2 was fucking neat.

>>390056369
I would seriously argue that this is one of the worst games of all time. Seriously holy fuck every part of the game was garbage, from rusting weapons to cars breaking when you hit a pebble, enemies respawning as soon as you leave line of sight, 0 stealth element, shotguns hitting you from across the fucking desert, boring plot/characers. And literally only 2 biodomes, bland desert or bland jungle, wooaaaahhhh diversity. And combat boiled down to blowing everything away with a grenade launcher and land mines.

There is nothing redeeming about this game.

But hey; that's just like, my opinion, man

Give me farcry instinct predator any day.

Far Cry 2 is shit unless properly modded.

This doesn't get a rise out of me considering that it doesn't apply to me, and was obviously made by some desperate underage hyperautist who thinks that inserting a truth in the middle of a bunch of bullshit proves a point.

Unless you just took some image that was originally made for a completely different point about SJWs and edited it.

I just installed Far Cry 2 a few days ago. It's the third time I'm giving it a try, since I always gave up.

One thing is sure...

The setting is amazing, the graphics are great, the fire propagation is interesting, the atmosphere is cool, there are no fancy and tacti-cool gun modifications, etc.

But...

The freaking enemy respawns are annoying AS HELL. It's so so so frustrating to get attacked by cars every 10 seconds. Sometimes they just appear behind you... out of nowhere...

Fuck that shit. They even have a wall hack and try to shoot you through walls.

I have to clear approx. 12-15 enemy camps just to go to the fucking objective. Same thing on the way back.

It's so useless, and the frustration makes me want to break something, especially because the game has(had) huge potential to be a classic.

Anyways, just to give you an idea... I spent 15 hours playing (trying to do the main objective) but I'm only at 20%... and did like 3 missions. Most time is spent getting rid of enemy cars trying to ram me up.

Far Cry 1 is definitely the goat. Two had huge potential, but like every Ubishit games, they had to fuck things up.

>>390062529

But that's wrong, and I'm proof of that. Trolls on /v/ are literally so retarded that they think any (you) means that someone's been baited. You see, if you're baiting me, you're doing a good job. I am a shitty troll and wasn't even trolling initially, so I really hope you're the one that's baiting me at this point.

>All in all, what an embarrassing post for you to churn out.

It just goes on and on. Definitely won't be buying this trash, and it shows how gutless the devs are that they'll attack a religion that's taught to pray for their enemies. Where's the Far Cry game with muslim crescents everywhere? Or the one where infidels who don't worship allah properly are caged and lit on fire? Or the one where the muslim bad guys have their children shoot and execute infidels? Or the one where the muslim bad guys throw gays head first off buildings? Or the one where muslim bad guys splash acid in the faces of women?

Really? This is how edgy the devs are, that they'll attack a religion where the worst thing they'll do is not buy your product or decline to bake your wedding cake?

>>390061282
I just can't help but to see it's fans as people who are more impressed by the ideas in the game than their actual execution. I'm playing it right now and it's kinda garbage.

Yeah, on my first playthrough I hated Far Cry 2, but when I came back to it and gave it a chance knowing what I was in for like with Dead Money in New Vegas I really enjoyed it. Only thing that killed it was the weapons degrading so quickly and the niggers at outposts respawing so quickly and being able to drive faster that you when you drive away.

The firefights when it all came together were so fucking good though. I remember storming some hotel / brewery in the second map that had some guy with a mortar on a little island. Was so fucking fun running for cover between all these fucking guys shooting over me that I couldn't see in the long grass and foliage, then you hear that whistling of the mortar knowing you need to shift your ass fast to somewhere else, next thing you know the mortar hits the ammo dump and fucking everything is on fire around you with guys still firing at you from all sides as you try to get into the house. SO FUCKING GOOD.

>>390070725
The music was great, and they nailed the art direction right on. Before the game came out, the devs put out a few videos about having gone to Africa, either Kenya or Ghana. They wanted to make sure they were making a game world that looked authentic and when they got there, they said they realized they got it all wrong and started the art direction from scratch. That's why you see the little shanty booths and half buried tires on the side of the roads and all of the other little touches that come together to make it really look like a beautiful land turned into a third world shit hole by idiot natives.

I also really miss that physical map and GPS, it breaks pacing having to hit a map button, enemies driving and shooting at you freeze, being pulled out of the game, waiting for the engine to load the map with a million cookie cutter markers, finding where I need to go, exiting out of the map screen, exiting from the submenu, exiting from another submenu, and then rejoining the game as the enemies resume racing towards me and shooting.

>>390071721

That faggot at the Leboa Sako southern map. He sits on a tiny island with his mortar. Every time I operate in the area, I head right to the island and gun him the fuck down first. Really frantic and fun gunfights though, I passed on Primal and 5 looks like it'll be fedora bait garbage, but 2 is still my favorite.

FC3 and 4 is literally the same game

Primal is trash

Far Cry 1 is annoying at parts, AI is cheating

Far Cry 2 has bulletproof niggers what can be fixed with a 8 mb mod

FC2 best FC

>>390072285
>bullet proof nogs

What? Even when I don't Mozambique drill them, they go down easily. Upgrade the accuracy on your weapons, senpai.

>>390069930
FC1 is basically Halo with hitscan weaponry. Only worth playing on Realistic difficulty. Insanely hard in the sense that it doesn't forgive any mistakes, makes it necessary to play the game as safe as possible at all and utilize every game mechanic and in-game tool you have at your disposal (cheesing of various kinds included). Every arena (it's a checkpoint-based game) is a sort of puzzle in itself, in the sense, that the meaning of "playing as safely as possible" changes radically depending on the arena configuration, and the "solutions" you have managed to find for the previous arenas, the tactics, through which you managed to get alive up to the current point, most likely, will not apply to the current one without at least some at least somewhat non-trivial modifications.

Really long, satisfying, hardcore game about staying alive no matter what, if you are into that sort of thing, Crytek's best, my opinion. One notable minus is a very primitive ballistic model though.

>>390072401
Point blank range they take around 7 shots from an AK, maybe their chest hair is so strong they stop bullets.

It's surprising that I have actually finished it twice like this

>>390069930
Also, majestic, gameplay-wise, Rebellion and Volcano levels.
Also, play, if any, the original version ONLY (meaning, do NOT play FarCry Classic).

Favorite far cry game A number 1 king of the heap. I really enjoyed my time as the river boat sniper, just tooling around on my fan boat. I really wanted a fishing mini game

>>390072257

I always leave him just because it's so fun with him there. I fucking love the sound the mortar makes though, it's so great running around like a headless chicken the moment you hear that whistling:

>>390072673
Sounds like an accuracy issue, it should be taking like 3-4 shouts center mass. The gunplay makes it one of my favorite games because your tiny little Makarov can still one shot guys in the head from beginning to end.

Now all you need to do is have a mod that disables the player tracking on the map and you will have essentially the tiple-A 'lite' version of STALKER (this is a good thing).

>>390056369
I much prefer the original.

>>390073723

This sounds so good, not knowing where the fuck you are on a map is the best feeling, I use to turn off all the map settings on the first just cause game just so I could enjoy the game more, things sometimes look totally different when you're not glued to a minimap all the time and you actually have to try and guess where to go.

The first instance I recall of Ubicuck being a bunch of liars was when Far Cry 2 was in pre-release.

>watching devs play game
>they show off the marking mechanics at night
>night stealth actually worked
>marking actually worked
>they snuck close to enemies and started taking them out
>mentioned that the game is open world
>claimed you could stop and fight at checkpoints or floor it and blast through

Then the game gets launched and marking doesn't do shit and most of the time, the monocle doesn't even know you're trying to mark the items you're zoomed into and staring at. The stealth was completely broken with or without the stealth suit. There were no quiet take downs because you just sliced enemies and they would fall down and scream. You couldn't actually floor it through check points because one enemy bullet disabled your vehicle but it takes 30 second bursts and cool downs from your mounted LMG just to get an enemy vehicle smoking.

I had fun with most of the game, but it's where I realized Ubishit was turning into a bunch of liars.

>>390072559
I agree very much, except I played it both on some medium-hard difficulty (first playthrough) and Realistic (second, third, fourth playthroughs) and I honestly couldn't tell the difference. In fact, the first time I played it was the hardest since I had no idea what am I doing.

I love how stealth actually works in this game, it's just that it's pretty fucking difficult. It isn't perfect because you shooting loud guns will ALWAYS get enemies to home in on the pinpoint where you shot from, so once you shoot, you HAVE to move to a new place, but just because you shoot, doesn't mean they really have xray on you yet. Also, the sniper AI is pretty good on how it can keep track of you and how it can randomly spot you in the fields, but you can still manage to scuttle away from their sights

But the most hilarious thing is 0 aim sway when changing weapons and 0 bullet drop - you can aim a perfect headshot with a sniper rifle, switch to silenced pistol and cap a nigger from 1500 meters. That shit just doesn't get old.

Your sarcasm is unbecoming. When I say calibrate your monitor I don't mean fucking with the settings until the black looks decent I mean properly calibrate the fucking thing so you get the correct number of steps between white and black - many games look ten times better at default settings once your screen is displaying things as it is meant to.

Far Cry 2 is one of those shit games that contrarians pretend to like.
