Forums - Gaming - Is Far Cry 2 worth it?

niksta2 on 08 November 2008

I mean, right now, for me, it's kinda down to LBP or Far Cry 2

The game looks great, but it's not really AAA, its has ONLY an 85% on gamerankings and I say ONLY because so many games coming out right now have 90%+

Anyways, people are saying that it's not really that great because attacking enemy camps is pointless, too much driving, etc.

so what do some of the people that bought this game on these forums think?

PS: I'm a fan of open world/exploration games

is it worth it? absolutely.

is it worth it at this time when there are about 5 games better than it? no


I say wait for a bit until it goes onsale. You are better off getting Fallout, R2 at this point.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

I was going to say LBP, R2, Fallout3, Fable2 and Gears 2.

 

but since you only have PS3, then it goes down to 3. but I will add VC (RPG). 

if R2 isn't your thing... how is FarCry2 your game?

if R2 isn't your thing... how is FarCry2 your game?

 

Resistance: Mutants, monsters, apocalyptic, mild survival horror (I have seen videos). As well, the single-player is more of a linear experiance with more of a focus of multiplayer

Far Cry 2: No mutants, modern day, very different setting, more of a single player experiance, less focus on multiplayer

I hope this isnt a major spoiler for you, but that the end of the original Far Cry you kind of turn into a super mutant.

What's wrong with resistance?I mean this game is the most worthy one for you to buy at this moment. Talking about mutants, you're scared or something.



Man on 08 November 2008

@Jedson

Yeah but Far Cry 2 has no mutant storyline...



jedson328 on 08 November 2008

@Man ... Ah, I haven't gotten very far into the game yet. Thanks for ruining it for me! :P
