Far Cry 2 review

[Psy]

The Steam version of Crysis Warhead had the same DRM as the retail version.

Very nice. I am tempted by this most likely for the PC to check out the editor. But Fable this week and Fallout the next will be more than enough for now.

This is what you'll get if you play on a widescreen res.

Widescreen cut down. yay!

So anyone played it yet? What are your opinions. I saw someone playing yesterday. It looked interesting and like a fun game experience but why is it so damn brown? Everybody who came by said how brown it is. The person playing said it was a bit problematic not only from a art perspective but that it also is hard to aim (brown enemys on brown background). I remembered the game looking a lot better at the GC 2007 (was the best looking game on that show imo, even better then Crysis). What happend?

Africa is probably the brownest place on earth stepp

Cigarettes, caffeine or toilet breaks! Why not centering an entire game around a drug addict? Not such a bad idea actually hmm...

Try playing FO2 as a CQB\rifle fighter that uses drugs. Get's quite expensive haha

Another buggy game? I especially hate it when they can't even make widescreen work properly. Grah.

Yeah! I'd even guess that a large number of the people with a PC able of running it, got widescreen. Why not just make the widescreen reveal more screen, and for others they have a normal 4:3 view:)

Actually, I heard it was really well optimized for the PC. Though this kind of puts a damper on things. Hopefully there's a patch in the works.

The biggest complaint I've heard about this game is that there are checkpoints all over the place on the main roads, with guards posted, and they're all hostile to you ALWAYS. They respawn pretty much instantly if you move away, or if you begin or end a mission- so if you have a convoy attack mission, and end it with you standing at a checkpoint, all the bad guys will respawn on top of you out of nowhere.

ah screw it... I've heard a lot of good things about this game, I'm buying this!

Ok, just tried the game before I buy it, and I have to say that It's a fucking blast! I haven't played a decent FPS like this for a while! I totally recommend it to all mapcoreans!

The graphics are very neat, It's obviously not as good as Crysis but everyone already knows this, but i guess we all come to the point that gameplay > graphics, and FC2 plays and feels awesome.

too bad there's a DX10 bug tho, if you want to make it work in fullscreen, you must go to:

"C:\Users\(User Name)\Documents\My Games\Far Cry 2", open GamerProfile.xm and change the lines Fullscreen="0" Maximized="0" to read Fullscreen="1" Maximized="1"

Easy as that, I guess a patch wont be long to fix this.

Is the widescreen really borked??? I never ended up buying bioshock because of this after playing the demo.

I hope they patch it or something, I think i'll just wait awhile.
