12/14/2022 0 Comments Far cry 1 trigensHalf Life 2 had its merits but the original was a far better gaming experience that I've now completed at least 10 times. The aliens in the forth coming Colonial Marines who will no doubt spring out of ventilation ducts to grab you. The various demons in DOOM 3 when they spawned right beside you just as you came across an ammo supply, or (and I'm guessing here) The Chimera in Resistance that had the nasty habit of coming at you from all directions, or The Trigens in Far Cry 1 that had you on the edge of your seat as they stalked you in the jungle, or This for me is a complete turn off as I like to get something different from games than you could anticipate in the "real world". I've noticed that some new games are going for the "realistic" element, e.g. Otacon, guess we'll have to agree to disagree then. Wish I'd spent the cash on Deadspace or Bioshock. Jeez what next, a game with the tellytubbies being called COD6? It was nothing short of a con to call this rubbish game after the classic original. flimsy story, little missions, buying and upgrading weapons and making "buddies"). If I could sum this game up, it would be GTA IV goes to the jungle (i.e. I usually make my mind up about a game after the first hour or so and I'm usually right, e.g Uncharted and COD4 were brilliant while Haze and Turok were crap. The story is nowhere near as original as the first far cry and for me, after 2 hours of gameplay, it is incredibly boring. Firing a full mag, POINT BLANK, to take an enemy down is stupid. I think the graphics are, at best, on a par with the 4 year old original while the A.I. I knew this wasn't a sequel (so why call it far cry 2?) but I thought it might be a worthy successor. and graphics and I still go back to replay it once or twice a year. The original game was breath taking in storyline, A.I. Please excuse the pun but Far Cry 2 is a "far cry" from the classic original that was released on the pc some 3/4 years ago now. Not a patch on the first half of FC1 before it got silly. Such a shame could have been great but I'll be trading it for Fallout 3 next week. Overall I'm very dissappointed, I like the free roaming aspect and wish more shooters had it but I'm going back to CoD4, and Vegas where the AI react to being shot, and don't take 15 rounds to the chest to go down. The free roaming is great and lets you decide how to fight, but the AI just run towards you closing the distance so it will always end up CQB style. Pistols are nearly useless unless you go for the head, and no point in firing from the hip as rounds go every where which is good as it makes you use the iron sights, more tactical and less run and gun which I like. The AI just run up to close range and stand there while you pump half a mag of 7.62 into them, blood comes flying out but they just stand there not even reacting to the fact that if this was any other game they would be dead long ago. Compared to games like CoD 4, RS Vegas and Far Cry PC, the shooting in this game does not feel right at all. The shooting mechanics are very poor for a shooter imo. So far not impressed with FC2, the graphics and presentation are top notch alright but the game play is lacking. I'm going to get Dead Space first, complete it then trade it in for Far Cry II.ĭead Space is far better than Far Cry 2, imo.
