Far Cry 2 becomes a million copy selling member

You forgot to mention the DISSAPOINTMANT of the fan's for it sucking in the multiplayer department.

Sorry its unrelated, but for those interested, the Banjo-Kazooie title preordered can now be downloaded via XBLA

so when did it become Far Cry

i gave up after it was obvious that it was "crappy shooter that was given the Far Cry name so they can sell alot of copies on name recognition"

You also forgot to mention the save glitch which doesn't allow a player to finish the game. How did this go under this site's radar?

O_O

I havent played farcry2 ...

Wow does it suck that bad?

It's a solid game. Not for everyone as some may find the driving and repetitiveness tedious, but the gun battles and numerous ways to take on a mission keep it entertaining and enjoyable for most FPS fans.

Although I had no problems with saves and beating the game, there are a lot of posts about save issues on the Far Cry forums.

Multiplayer is a bit weak and just can't hang with other top games out there. Map editor is cool.

I'm really surprised by this becuase this game had next to no advertising which for the most part is what sells games.

The game is riddled with bugs that will 100% prevent you from completing the game and story. It's ridiculous. I got all the way to 88% before I hit a very common bug that won't allow any progress no matter what.

Wow.. the reviews I read on it were great, I was really wanting to pick this up. If it's that bad, I think I'll pick up something else instead.

My main problem is the health system. Had the health system been improved the game would've automatically been 100x more awesome because I actually would've been able to take on situations the way I wanted to instead of being limited to basically hiding. Which you can't really do in empty African planes. The aiming is also somewhat a hassle. And I couldn't hit someone with a sword if my life depended on it.

I really like a lot about Far Cry 2. The graphics are great. I love the open world. And I love how on a console I am able to run around in an open world without seeing loading screens. I've seen only one glitch and that was early on where the game just froze up on me at a saving point. I just resumed from the last save point and the next time I didn't have this issue. I also really like the map editor, although I haven't played that much of the multiplayer. I did enjoy it when i was playing though.

Now for the bad. I do agree with what others are saying. 1. The name is completely for name recognition. Has nothing to do with the original Far Cry. They should have went with something like Far Cry Africa or something. 2. The driving back and forth can get a little old. They attempted to remedy this by adding the bus stations so that you don't have to drive all around. But it still is a lot of back and forth. 3. the console version should have an option to save at anytime just like on pc. I don't see why they couldn't do that.

In the end it suffers from what games like GTA suffer from. You feel like you are just running back and forth all over the place doing the same types of things. And that does get old. I still haven't finished GTAIV because of that. I'd still recommend that any gamer buy the game though.

1 million units that will be prone to crash and corrupt ALL game saves. nice job Ubisoft.

Absolute garbage !!!
Both SP and MP are terrible . UBI conned us all , and the critics who gave it a thumbs up have lost respect .
Total , utter , proven garbage !!

I have to agree with Bubba .
Never have I seen a game which has been such an over hyped , falsely sold , or badly constructed game as Far Cry 2 .

They called it Far Cry simply to get sales , and the community were lied to completely by the UBI dev team .

It's as though the game was rushed out , to get it on the shelf in time for Christmas , and the problems with it are endless .

The PC gamers especially are up in arms , and you've got to feel sorry for them after the support they gave FC 1 .

The UBI forums are FULL of complaints , and every page reveals a negative about the game , and what is funny , is that the majority of them appear to be justified .

So much for a 50km square map that is explorable , and destructable .

It's ALL lies from UBI , and the Critics must have taken a huge bung from UBI to give it a good review .

I loved FC1 , and just like Bubba , was an FC admin , but this game won't last 2 minutes . It is awfull !!

As for multiplayer , jeez , you would think UBI had never made a game before . NO ASSAULT ??? WTF ?

I'm serious guys . I'm not just sticking a knife in here . Just read the UBI forums to see what the community think of it .

Complete waste of money , and if they sold a million , then it was all sold on lies and false advertising , and had they released a beta , they would not have sold a thousand .
It's really that bad !
Sorry for the gripe , but I speak only the truth :o(
