Farcry2 thread
After all the talk of Farcry2 I've been checkin it out and think I might get it. I hope they do a demo so I can try out the controls. Be nice if they have fully customizeable button layout. I can't afford it but I looked at my shelf of games last night and there are at least six games I've not played in ages and with all the new games I've got I probably won't play them again so am thinking of trading them in

I would keep them in for a rainy day kevin!
Plus, trading games in is such a loss in money as compared to ebay where instead of game shops buying to sell on again, Ebayers buy to consume [so to speak].
One problem is it takes a while to sell, but in that time you can really decide if you are actually wanting to sell it or not.
Usually what I do.
I should recieve my order this morning, so i'm not coming into school as I have a "free" lesson first as it's called and getting the bus after that. I can't wait

Re: Farcry2 thread
I got my copy yesterday. My god.
Its brilliant! Single player is amazing, graphically and gameplay is stunning. As soon as you see the light shining through te tree branches and onto your gun you know this is living . LoL. Multiplayer doesn't rival cod4, not at all but its still great with the map creator [which is hard at first]. I didn't buy the game for multiplayer however. A decent single player that doesn't require te MP to boost up its ratings and reviews.

Re: Farcry2 thread
Thanks for the description of the game it helps me out. Is it too open world like gta (having to do too much stuff before even starting a mission) or is it more balanced?

Re: Farcry2 thread
If you have ever played just cause for the ps2/xbox 360 you will know what its like. Its alot bigger than GTA, and so annoying if you are set a mission over at the other end of the map. it takes ages. I guess thats where the 100 hours worth of gameplay comes from ha. you don't have to do anything before a mission as usually there are medi packs everwhere. stocking up on weapons is fun to buy them, you use an old early 90's computer to order them, like a website! lol. thats afrika for you < sorry lol
Its balanced though, you can also do side missions, for the weapons dealer, therefore unlocking more weapons for you to buy. also loads more mission styles, a man who orders you to take hits on people etc.

All sounds good except for the reference to Just Cause, I had that game on 360 and it was mince!

Re: Farcry2 thread
is mince a good thing or not? lol.. I found just cause aweful for the ps2 apparently it was much better on the 360? The map was far too huge for the game, and all of it was pretty much trees. Man it was so annoying.
Re: Farcry2 thread
Mince + Rubbish! It cost me nothing as I just downloaded it but after playing for 20 minutes I couldn't stand it anymore and binned it!

Re: Farcry2 thread
I've been hearing bad things about the online modes. Although the single player seems greati think I'll have to wait and maybe pick up a cheap copy next year as I've too many games on the go at the minute and new cod is due soon!

Re: Farcry2 thread
THE MAP EDITOR IS REALLY REALLY GOOD. BUT ONLINE PLAY DOES NOT LIVE UP TO THE STANDARDS OF THE SINGLE PLAYER, WHICH IS DISSAPOINTING. BUT COD5 IS OUT SOON WHICH IS KNOWN FOR ITS MULTIPLAYER,
sorry caps

Re: Farcry2 thread
Map Editor is very very detailed. However the controls are really weird when it comes to moving with the analogs. you have to try it to see what I mean, they are not your usual standard controls. Would prefer a mouse though to create maps
