Mummelmann on 16 July 2009

It was important. It showed that sequels can be really, really horrible.

Far Cry 2 was awful. Though I played it on a console. The graphics were a mess, firing did not feel right, explosions were ridiculously over the top, it was impossible to GET anywhere because there were hardly any vehicles and EVERYBODY just had to SHOOT at you, making it WAY too difficult!

It was a great idea, and a great concept, with poor execution.

that pretty much sums up all Ubisoft Montreal's non Tom Clancy games.

Hopefully, Assassin's Creed 2 will break that pattern. I suppose the Tom Clancy games never have much innovation. Double Agent did, and I actually liked it for that.

Yeah, after all games like Beyond Good & Evil, Prince of Persia Sands of Time, and Rayman 1 & 2 were all some of the shittiest games ever made. Lol

I guess people these days are treated like babies in n00b friendly games like BioShock {System Shock 2 > BioShock}, Fallout 3 {Fallout 1 & 2 > Fallout 3}, and Call of Duty 4 {COD 1 & 2 >>>>>>>> COD4} that can't handle any challenge and lack any sense of creativity or imagination to play video games.

I guess that's why COD4 is so popular in the first place.

I meant this gen. I should have clarified that, but my point stands PoP = average(just barely), ASS Creed & Far Cry 2 = shit.

Yeah, last gen they were fucking awesome (FUCKING LOVED PoP, and Splinter Cell). This gen... meh.

The new POP was okay, certainly not great game. Assassin's Creed wasn't so bad, it was a okay game too.

Far Cry 2 is far from shit, the game is only as tedious and repetitive as you make it. The reason everyone thinks the game is "dull" is because they made the game dull for themselves. Its not the game that does the gameplay for you *cough*COD4*cough* its the player himself, you can play the game the way you want to.

Sure it has its faults but what game doesn't? Is it just me, or are people being to negative and unimaginative with video games these days?

No, it's just that people have opinions different from your's.
