Malaria Pill Taking Simulator 2K8. While an interesting story and some ideas that probably do well for the types who want to make retrospective videos on how FC2 was simply too smart and creative for the FPS masses at the time, all in all it's simply a game that feels like it takes itself and its ideas much more seriously then it does the general gameplay.
far cry 2 as a whole seeks to use its mechanics to create a punishing and hostile experience for the player. in this, it succeeds. however it doesn't always succeed in immersing the player, as the broken stealth and unfair car chases frequently disengage and discourage the process of developing emergent solutions, and instead just going back to shooting from behind cover and spamming health needles
Apesar desse game ser muito mais digno do título "Far Cry" do que seu antecessor por basicamente ter quase todos os elementos que definem essa franquia até hoje, para mim a trama principal ainda não convence nem um pouco e é certamente uma das mais fracas e sem graça de toda a história dos Far Cry, joguei a maior parte do tempo entediado com o rumo que a história ia indo com personagens totalmente esquecíveis e mal elaborados, além disso quase todas as missões parecem ser secundárias para "encher linguiça" do jogo e momentos que o jogo basicamente te obriga a fazer a mesma missão para conseguir os tais remédios da malária que o protagonista precisa para não morrer da doença. Tudo isso faz com que a vontade do jogador de continuar a tentar zera-lo diminua em quase zero, mas como eu tento ser persistente e acreditei que poderia melhorar conforme os momentos finais fossem se aproximando fui ate o fim e como era de se esperar sou agraciado com um final à altura de todo o jogo, ou seja, uma merda, por isso, nem a gameplay de um bom Far Cry salva a decepção que é toda a história principal de Far Cry 2!
I rented this game back in the day, and I have to say I was quite disappointed. I didn't get much of any enjoyment from it to be honest. The series majorly redeemed itself in my eyes once Far Cry 3 released. I know people love this game for its 'realistic' and 'gritty' aspects, but they simply didn't do it for me. I only played for a few hours and I was generally pretty bored.
with mods highest difficulty and playing without save/load this is ultimate sigma africa survival videogame. after some relaxing driving with a nice view of nigilistic but beautiful Africa sound of enemy cars pumps adrenalin through your system, AI give you panic time after time, guns just breaks and malaria... all systems just create so juicey sigma gameplay I don't even want to nagging about strange voice acting.
it's a gem. suprisingly it got many similarities with STALKER series about how just work gameplay loop and the openworld and maybe... in alternate universe far cry had turned on that path.

I know nerds and crowbcat type cliques like to brag about how "Far cry 2 was actually good!11!" but actually playing it for more then 5 minutes proves its one of the most dull broken shooters i've played AI breaks every 2 seconds the graphics are mostly brown mush but all that could be forgiven if it actually bothered dedicating to either being an action FPS or a semi simulation game like stalker because it constantly flipflops between the two and its extremely annoying 2 stars for effort though.
All the things you've heard about Far Cry 2 are true. In relation to the series, no other entry comes close to the immersion this game can conjure. But for all its merits, for every moment the game's systems collided and left me with a shit-eating grin on my face. I'd have another uneventful drive, to another bog-standard shootout, all with the promise that I'd get to repeat this process another dozen times afterwards.
