Anyone got Far Cry 2 yet?

[_tom_]

I just got it and its pretty damn good! The pda/map thing looks a little cheap to me but its nice to use so I cant really complain :P Everything else looks great even without anti-alias on :)

Havent tried the multiplayer yet but spent a good couple of hours on the singleplayer earlier and enjoyed myself, cant beat setting fire to an enemy camp :P

oh and the case looks awesome as well, I got the steelbook (or something) one which looks so cool



better in the sunlight though rather than camera flash..

October - November will see a flood of great games coming out! Let us know what you think of the game!

[_tom_]

Yeah, Fallout 3 is out as well but I dont want to buy it yet because I'll just stop playing FC2 :P I havent actually played the others in the series but it looks really good judging by the gameplay videos on youtube.

I've been giving Far cry a bit of a rattle. It's rather good. Sure, it's not the most diverse game ever, but it's properly a sandbox game. The fun comes in engineering the situations to your advantage and playing with the toys you're given.

The IED's are tremendous fun.

I think it may have made my graphics card overheat or something with settings on high because about an hour in it just froze up, screen went blank and then it started working again after a minute or so :\ Apparently the stock fans on my card arent amazing anyway so I might get a better one for it so I can run everything on full with no overheating :) Just going to check it in speedfan though to see what it peaks at.

It did say my graphics card drivers were too old when I first started it up though so maybe it wont do it again now I've updated them.

I've got it on the 360.  After initial disappointment it's now...ok.  The console save system is a major pain in the bell end.  You can only save in gun shops, safe houses or after you complete missions.  Because the game are is so big, if you get killed on a mission you can end up having to start again a 20 minute drive away. 

Also the gameplay is a touch repetitive.  I'm only 8% through the single player and it's already a bit tired.  A guy I work with is 80% through the PC version and says it's the same thing all the way through, just getting gradually better guns as you go.

Still, I'll be sticking at it.  I'm determined not to get Gears of War 2 before Christmas.

i still haven't got round to getting the first one yet... :lol:

[indysmith]

I want my housemate to get this and Fable but he refuses; saying they'll be cr@p.
Gears of War 2 is going to be fit.

[noodleplugerine]

I've played both and think Fallout 3 is better so far, its where I'm dedicating my time to now anyway.

My mate's got a 48070X2 and watching him play them both on his 22inch was immense. Jealous...

[MDV]

Yeah

Had it about a week.

But wont have the internet for at least another week, so I havent been able to play it yet!

Sated my irritation by playing the non-alien levels of Crysis again.

After playing it for a bit more, it does get a bit repetitive/annoying. Its still a great game but it just gets annoying when you have to keep taking out everyone in a guard post to get through, unless you can see some way to get through unnoticed. Wouldnt be so bad if they didnt respawn each time you go back. Gonna try the multiplayer soon, should be fun and pry me away from counterstrike a bit.

Indy, I never got into Gears of War, I just find it so dull. Everyone bums it but I cant get into it. I hate consoles now as well :P

[MDV]

So, I got the internet back and 3 things strike me

1: Its buggy as hell.

2: Its boring.

3: Its really really boring.

4: Iniquitous and vile DRM that I cant get rid of even though I've uninstalled FC2.

[_tom_]

What bugs are you finding? I dont think I've noticed anything..

[MDV]

Control. I changed some key bindings and they didnt work in game, and reset to default and then they didnt work either.

[_tom_]

oh :? I havent needed to change anything I like it how it is at the minute, but the default ones all work fine.
