Hit escape every once-in-a-while, it'll do wonders for you.

I bought Fall Out 3 and although I just started I think FC2 is going to take a back seat to Fallout and WAR.

I'm playing Fallout 3 now, it's worlds more entertaining at this point.

Although the many storyline is very short. <_< When you eventually do beat the game, the ending will disappoint you greatly. My suggestion is to get to the point where you can train for power armor then just explore. Tons of cool stuff to see(STAY OUT OF THE NORTH-EASTERN SECTION OF THE MAP UNTIL YOU HAVE POWER ARMOR AND STRONG WEAPONS OR YOU WILL DIE) like a crashed alien ship(The most powerful weapon in the game besides the fatman can be found by it) and other neat little bits like the town with the super villain problem. Far Cry 2 is going to be sitting at 30% for a while.

Yup. I finished it earlier after stumbling into it at Rivet City.

 

I'm going to just leave right before the end and do everything else in the game. I didn't find the main storyline disappointing, just a tad short. I figured there would have been more to the ending though.

 

BTW - Mr. Fawkes is an awesome escort.

Yea the ending did kinda blow...

im not at the end, but I like the game, no crashes ever here, using dual 4850's non hotfix driver. not a bad game.

far cry 2: running infamous difficulty

 

Ok so the AI is ridiculously hard or easy which pisses me off. Either they can snipe me through walls or I can jump out the way of their attempted roadkill and then knife both of them in the face. Idk about the three lower difficulties but I wish this games AI was just either hard or easy, I hate these random switches between both. Once MAYBE twice I am able to rush an outpost but rarely ever as they kill you in 2-3 hits and the mounted guns don't do jack. Yeah and regarding the enemy sniping why can EVERY weapon they use out snipe a sniper rifle. You can't knife somebody without waking up the entire base/outpost, so there is no point trying.

 

The driving system is so bad, when the enemies drive they drive so robotic and unrealistic. You can't hear cars approaching, just the occasional squeak of brakes or the VROOM of the their engine gives them away. Every car goes the same exact speed and all of them accelerate to that 70kph instantly and handle like slotcars.

 

The malaria thing is fine I guess but I wish Crytek made this so, like Crysis, you'd get some special power or something not just a disease that'll bug you the entire game and give them an excuse to not let you roam outside the map. I was hoping there'd be giant deserts but its mostly tight jungle roads or rivers, there are NO predators only a few skittish animals spread throughout the game. The game looks pretty much the same going from high-very high- ultra except getting brighter (and more colorful). I can't technically blame them for my video stutter but that kinda annoys me too.

 

If you buy the Camo suit you waste 45 diamonds because the chance of them seeing you is just as high as not having it. When you clean out an outpost I wish that the enemies didn't respawn like 2 minutes later if I had to come back to the outpost to get the ammo, gasoline (what the heck), explosives or health that I need. The whole weapon storage box system is pointless. I wish you could work on the guns your self instead of getting an infinite supply of brand new weapons at an abandoned bunker thing.

 

Cars should not be damage free if you pull out a ratchet and turn a bolt on something labeled "high voltage". A car should not be able to withstand me holding a flame thrower to it for an entire gas-can and not blow up. Wild fires should be well, wild. They should have not such short life spans. That guy in the beginning mentioned that his cousin or brother lost everything to a wild fire but he must have only had a farm that was about 15 square feet big or I don't see how that could have happened.

 

ALL of the weapons dealer missions are the same. The friend system is annoying and brings me to wonder why EVERYONE other than maybe a handful of people hate you. why does EVERYONE have to be an enemy (disregarding the ceasefire zone). I miss the Trigens from the first FarCry (or the Aliens in Crysis) because that really was a neat turning point in the story, this is just a dry drive around, blow this up, shoot this guy (or anything that moves in africa) let down for me.

 

I probably missed alot more that I dislike about this game but I'll start with those things, as I'm sure that I have alot there already.

 

All that being said it IS a good time waster but I don't spend long amounts of time in it because it generally will annoy me to the point of stopping sometimes. I wish Crytek made this, the CryEngine is soooooooo much better, and of course i miss the NanoSuit.

 

bring on the arguing :thumbs-up:
