A jeep was trying to tail me in Far Cry 2 and it suddenly hit a gas tank in an outpost: BOOM! Having a whole lot of fun with this game since my rig can run it at max settings. The first time I played this game was on the PS3 and it didn't look as pretty as the PC version. Oh well,

A small reminder to people who are crying over Far Cry 2's shortcomings: It was released 10 years ago.

Words fail me here:

Replaying Far Cry 2, I instantly remembered that stealth in this game is no joke.

Play Torment: Tides of Numenera, see how bad the combat system is and you'll love every rpg that is thrown at you afterwards. Torment: Tides of Numenera was one of the biggest disappointments for me in gaming history. You would think the combat couldn't get any worse than Planescape? Think again.

That place looks more like a shelter. Tigers and other wild animals are often confiscated from regular people who try to keep them as pets and they can't return to the wild. A shelter at that point is their only option.

Sometimes you just gotta stop and see how beautiful this world is:

Started playing Far Cry 2. But seriously, I should quit everything and start modding DOOM:

Eurogamer has released a pretty neat article on Far Cry villains, watch out for spoilers though! https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-04-04-far-crys-villains-are-sick-of-far-cry Also, it's finally confirmed:

Dang, that's tough. Sorry to hear that.

Hahahaha, couldn't have said it better. My older cat is about 5 years old now and she doesn't meow much at all but the younger one is just about a year old and he meows frantically all the way until we are home again. Everything went well, thank goodness.

Yes.

Gotta take my cats to the vet for checkup in two hours. *gulp* wish. us. luck.

Lots of trees, lots of firefights which look more intense in a 'reactable' environment. I like shooting an rpg into an outpost and seeing all manner of things fly into the air, tree branches included. Fun! Because it does matter whether you are picking up a rusty gun off a dead body or buying a new one from an arms dealer with the diamonds you have found. Actually, the cars are a whole lot more user friendly compared to many other games. At least you can get out and fix it without the need of driving all the way to a repair shop. Seen that a couple of times in different video games as well but why do they make every game world after Far Cry 2 look like a goddamn safari park?!

John Cena is awesome.

I hope Escape From Tarkov will be similar to Far Cry 2:

Daemonarch - Hymn to Lucifer

Just Cause 2 was okay because to me it was basically a modern version of Pilot Wings and a huge improvement over the first game. I didn't expect story or good action from the game when I started it but neither did I expect to be able to hijack a jet with a grappling hook. It was advertised as a 'big playground' and it pretty much delivered that. Just Cause 3 on the other hand went for the same route and failed because: a.it had performance issues on the consoles b.wasn't that different compared to Just Cause 2. But man, the original Just Cause had an awesome soundtrack: Good ol' Rob Lord.

Agreed. Dear gaming industry, please give me more ambitious misery simulators so I don't have to replay the same games over and over again.

Well, you can do more stuff in Far Cry 3, 4, 5 compared to Far Cry 2 but Far Cry 2 is more detailed and that makes encounters with enemies and outposts a whole lot more believable. In Far Cry 3 on the other hand every outpost feels the same. One look and you know where the alarm is, where the heavy gunner is, where the animal cages are and if you throw a bait in the outpost, immediately a bear appears out of nowhere and starts attacking baddies. Sure, it feels as if there are more things to do but those activities quickly become boring because they are predictable. But I gotta agree that Far Cry 2 does looks a bit light on content, but I take quality over quantity any day.

The world itself. There ain't much besides the jackal audio tapes and diamonds but the world is so well built that it makes you want to traverse and see every little hill, waterfall, hut etc. The emptiness gives you a sense of solitude that you don't get with other Far Cry games and it is also closer to 'reality' because there ain't much to do or see in a savanna except for the savanna itself.

Grind?! Far Cry 2 is an exploration game more than anything, not a MMO.

I want Alpha Prololol 2.
