Farcry 2 is a game where you need to make your own fun. If you just run into every mission with the same guns and blow everything up it gets boring fast, but if you like to sneak around and find different ways to do stuff(ie. what the DX fans are crying about all the time) it can be really fun.
Plus it does some interesting stuff with the buddy system, fire propagation and the awesome healing animations.
Also, not many people realize this, but Just Cause 2 has some really beautiful graphics, on the PC at least.
Instead of blowing things up left and right, take a moment to enjoy a sunset on top of the highest mountain...
The combat is getting slightly boring but other than that i'm enjoying it.

I just watched the enriching lives one and actually did the exact thing there as the guy. My problem with that bit was that the potential consequences for either choice will probably boil down to "you get 4 geth troops at the final battle" instead of anything big or meaningful, rendering the whole choice to nothing more than a superfluous sidequest.
He's basically implying that all those games took the easy way out, while his will be super awesome because he spent years writing it and whatnot. It's all just bragging until he actually has something more than a tech demo to show for it.
I just need to convince myself that I don't in fact like EVE every now and then when I hear one of the awesome stories about someone getting betrayed or a giant bank scam.
