Still unmatched to this day, absolute Blood Diamond/Heart of Darkness-tier kino of a game. It's literally perfect with mods
It's okay. I wish it had more cohesion to this world. All those locations, but they just feel like random shit and prefab buildings strewn around an ugly environment.I like the way they did stealth, but the tranq rifle kind of breaks it.
>>719325236>It's literally perfect with modsMods that remove Malaria, then I would agree.
>>719325469> tranq rifle kind of breaks it.I'd say it was fairly balanced, it was a one-shot rifle with only like 9 spare rounds, it forced you to aim properly to avoid wasting ammo. And even if you killed someone silently it didn't guarantee that the others haven't seen/heard of the kill, the mercs back in FC2 weren't as blind/deaf as in the recent installments
it's good yeah, flare gun and mortar anre based weapons
>>719326145My favorite loadout was M249 + MGL grenade launcher + flare gun, covered all the ammo types and allowed for nice versatility (I didn't use sniper rifles often)
>>719325236I didn't need mods to replay it like 10 times. Absolute kino.

What mods
>>719326817That is the beginning bridge, right?
Far Cry 3 mogs this niggershit
>>719327007Might be. I know you can find it in the game world.
>>719327037Far Cry 2 is for people that want to kill niggers. Far Cry 3 is FOR niggers
Idk why people rave about the super realism experience, even with mods enemy outposts still have insant respawning guards. And once you unlock the good snipers, it becomes a cake walk
>>719325236The main theme goes so hard
>>719327185The entire OST is underrated. Top tier ambience.
>>719326954Dylan's Realism Mod is pretty good, there are a bunch of great ones just fucking google
>>719327185>>719327237I always set the music volume to 0, and would just play the original Jurassic Park soundtrack. It fits surprisingly well.
>>719327361...but trespasser already exists!
>>719325236One of the best fps games I've ever played with realism+ redux mod and on Infamous Redux difficulty. Been thinking about trying out Farcry 3 for months now but I know that, despite its reputation as the best in the series, it's going to be inferior to 2 because shitters were filtered hard by 2 and consider a casualized game to be an improvement.
>>7193274975 is the next best one as you can disable basically the entire hud and go full lone commando on enemies not unlike 2.
>>719327441It was entirely because the jeeps reminded me of the JP jeeps. Plus, I don't want to shoot dinosaurs. I want to shoot monkeys.
>>719327630Far Cry 5 is fun but ruined by the forced story progression, the psychedelic bliss shit and constant kidnappings, ffs you can reach the final boss of each region without completing the missions at all, just by saving the civilians and killing VIP cult members. Also the takedowns are fucking atrocious, why did they remove knives??
Only good Far Cry ever made was the 2004 original on PC.FC2 was already modern Ubishit.Literally poorman's consolitis STALKER-knockoff.
>>719328890Stop being a contrarian, FC1 was absolute dogshit of a game
>>719327497I loved 2 so much I bought 3 coping that I could mod it to something similar, one of the worst game purchases I've made. It's irredeemable ubislop. Bounced off it super hard, tried to go back to it a few years later and the fucking thing prompted me to install Uplay malware. Absolute trash.
>>719328890>Only good Far Cry ever made was the 2004 original on PC.And other hilarious jokes you can tell yourself!
>>719328890Nah the size and openness of its map set FC2 apart from STALKER. Wish someone would combine these games.
>>719331602I'm proposing a Far Cry game set in the Skull island, imagine the FC2 setting with gigantic monsters
>>719326817wow, you just cleared one checkpoint.
>>719325236>Shitlaria>Weapon durability>Infinite patrolsNah, kill yourself
>>719325236/v/ hated this game with a passion when it was released. What happened?
>>719332058>wow you had fun?!Yes, yes I did.
It's a largely boring tech demo. An impressive tech demo, mind you, but there's barely anything resembling an actual game in it. It's basically the same thing as Assassin's Creed. An impressive but empty foundation that was begging for some meat on its bones and some refinement as well. Sadly, while AC got exactly that with AC2, FC3 abandons a lot of what stood out about FC2. It's the better game, to be sure, and a lot of FC2's DNA still permeates it, but a lot was lost as well.
>>719332191>ShitlariaI don't understand the hate for malaria, people overstate how annoying it was, the malaria attacks actually happened rather rarely and taking a pill only took like 5 seconds. >Weapon durabilityActually a good feature that forced you to change weapons from time to time. I personally never had any issues with guns cause I always visited the gunslinger on my way to missions. Lots of cool jamming animations too.>Infinite patrolsI agree that they could've toned down the intensity of the patrols but do you want an empty map with nothing to do once most of the outposts are cleared? The later FC games were fucking boring once you've covered most of the map, but I've never had this issue with FC2, you were constantly in danger and that was exciting.
>>719325236Kino of the highest order.>>719332191FILTERED.
>>719332563No, it had meat. What they added afterward was FAT.
>once again /v/ hates good games
>>719325236it's perfect without mods
>>719333646Enlighten me on the depths of FC2's sandbox.
>>719333646>minimal collectibles>no fast travel>no stealth system>no autosaves>no checkpoints"has meat" he says
>>719325236Crysis is Far Cry 2; that's just ugly mediocre UBIslop.
>>719334119>minimal collectiblesGood>no fast travelWrong>no stealth systemWrong>no autosavesGood>no checkpointsSee above (good)
>>719325236I wish they made a proper sequel to 2. While I enjoy the game alot its the lack of shit besides story that holds it back. I dont know how they could add more content without turning it into NuFC but Africa is such a great setting for these games its unreal no has tried to replicate it.
>>719334828based bad game design enjoyer
>>719334828Based immersion appreciator
>>719335079NTA>nooo, I need to find 1000 flags hidden on the map>nooo, I must zoom to the next objective by clicking on the map>nooo, I want to be invisible when pressing crouch>nooo, I need the game to save for me every 2 seconds>nooo, I cant be bothered to save manuallyzoomers are truly husks
>>719335079>hand holding = good design
>>719334119>no fast travelthe bus stops. oh, not fast enough for you little spoiled zoomfuck?>no stealth systemyou mean no 'press X to kill twenty enemies around you instantly?'>no autosavesthe PC version had a quicksave system >no checkpointsgood
>I post a thread about enjoying FC2:>Nigger>It's shit>Fuck you>Anon posts a thread about enjoying FC2>SO TRVE, BASED, BASED, BASED!!!Make it makesense please.
>>719335801>>719335975You seething boomers crack me up. The game was panned for these poor choices then and it remains panned for them now. I'm suuuuuuuuure spending 20 minutes driving across the map to be pointless because the aimbot A.I blew your head off when you walked within a mile of a checkpoint is excellent. I'm suuuuuuuuure you actually used the "stealth" system which is objectively broken (hence why every mod of note mentions various supposed fixed like 'machete creeping' lmao). Keep seething that people are calling you out for shit taste.
>>719325236I've had it on my shelf for 10 years, but I'm still terrified of wasting time on a stupid game.
>>719336267sounds like skill issue
>>719336326but you're not terrified of wasting time on /v/?
>>719331875To think that Ubisoft preferred to make an Avatar game instead of King Kong meets FarCry ..
>>719326010Malaria is greatly overblown by retards.
>>719336421/v/ is fun actually
>>719336267>20 minutes driving across the map to be pointless because the aimbot A.IThis literally has never happened to me and I've replayed the game 3 times. Unironically get good, cunt
>>719325236Does character choice impact anything other than the set of arms you're looking at?
I don't know if he is here but there's a guy who still plays the multiplayer on Xbox360 everyday. Fucking insane.
>>719336584No. At most, the buddies you get in the story are the characters you didn't choose to play as, e.g. if you pick Marty Alencar you may get Josip as your buddy but if you pick Josip your first buddy will be Marty and so on.
>>719336395>>719336560There we have it - no rebuttal, just insults. Classic /v/ retards.
>>719336692I thought the servers went down for far cry 2 a few years ago?>https://gamerant.com/assassins-creed-2-far-cry-2-online-service-shutting-soon/
>>719328890you put some respek on Far Cry Primal name
>>719336267Driving is fun and the game forces you to be careful about the path you take, how's that a bad thing?
>>719325236Series would've died if FC3 didn't go the more zany route. FC2 appeals to a specific type of person, but it's too flawed and too much of a chore to play otherwise.
>>719336836>zoomie to inept to beat slightly difficult game without intrusive handholdingthats why its good. fc2 isnt even that hard.
Why yes, in fact I DO kill and cycle through all non-white and Jewish companions automaticallyby instinct. How could you tell?
>>719332191>Shitlaria5 second animation once an hour, GAMEBREAKING>Weapon durabilityvisiting your stash if your gun is rusty is hard i guess>Infinite patrolsplay shooter game, complain theres shooting. genius.>Nah, kill yourselfnah, live long and suffer
>>719336934I played with this guy in 2023, so I'd say no, at least on console.
>>719336267Yeah I used the stealth system on pretty much every mission. It was strict but fair, and the only big problem is that you can't carry bodies away (although in a weird way it enhances the challenge, since you have to be analytical about who you kill, where you kill them, and when). I don't even recognize the minor bug you just pulled from google to try and smear the whole system as broken.
>>719337361>sneak in>complete objective>let loose in complete carnage
>>719336692Even more insane: there has to be at least 1 other guy for him to play multiplayer with
>>719336202Its a matter of appreciation for its quirks. What other mainline FPS is as punishing as FC2 besides Stalker? I think this game is even more "controversial" becuase its a black sheep in its own franchise of 1 man army simulators. Pretty funny though that the most isolating game in the series called fucking Far Cry is the series underdog lol.
>>719334119>>minimal collectiblesthis is good>>no fast travelyou have the buses, and "click on map to teleport" fast travel is a bad mechanic>>no stealth systemit just required actual stealth>>no autosavesgood>>no checkpointsgood
>>719336202Timing.
>[le bad game good face.jpg]
>>719336267You can stealth kill with a machete without mods. I had no problem sneaking up on people and you just have to be sure to hit them a second time when they fall to kill them before they scream.
>>719336836Rebuttal to what? To you being unable to appreciate a unique survival shooter game that didn't pull any punches and forced you to adapt to the environment? To a game that was ahead of time time in technical aspects, a game that actually tries to provide a hardcore gameplay, amazing atmosphere, stunning visuals and God-tier tribal music score? A game that takes itself seriously, maintains a somber tone throughout and has no quips or lolrandom humour (which is an impossible task these days, btw)?Far Cry 2 is one of the most cinematic, immersive games ever made and there will never be one like that ever again, and faggots like you are to blame. Yes it was not perfect, it had its share of bugs and annoying moments but in the current gaming climate it is a breath of fresh air. There is a reason why so many people have started to appreciate it as of recently.
>>719337556>Roll a frag to the ammo crate on your way out
>>719337846>Far Cry 2 is one of the most cinematicAh, so you just like movie games, got it. This does explain the total indifference to the incredibly poor gameplay the game possesses.
>>719337910Don't forget to drink all their bottles of water too. Y'know, just to rub it in for when patrols roll through and now die of thirst.
>>719336453Its more annoying than anything. I wouldnt mind it if I had to rob stashhouses or convoys for it. Instead I have to do these gay little missions to get US passports so Manbatu can get on Shark Tank and ask for a glass of lemonade.
>>719334828I think it still had too many diamond stashes. At most one per map square would have made them all feel special.
>>719338013You know he's down bad when he has to call FC2 a movie game to save face, lol
>>719338013>ignores all the other raised points to call it a LE MOOBI GAYMELook, honey, this game is not for you as you clearly seem to enjoy casual modern games. Why are you here?
>>719332635>>719325236mid shooter with mid mechanics that is shilled for movie game qualities
>>719339295Just like max payne 3
>>719339295>He's doubling down
>719339295Farming for (You)s, do not respond.
>>719325236Yeah. I was really surprised when the game changed substantially based on who you kept as your buddy and helped out the most. It was really cool.
I remember this game being hyped up before it came out. Some dev demo showing off how good the AI was. God I feel like an old boomer. I don't know why I never got around to playing it.Should I play with mods the first time or vanilla only?
>>719342765First vanilla, then realism mods. If you hate when certain weapons have a wrong ammo count in a magazine, wrong damage model and such (for example G3 having 30 rounds in a mag and having a low damage for 7.62x51, USAS-12 having just 12 rounds, etc.), go mods right away, there are mods that only fix the weapons without upping the difficulty.
but what mods?
