on my 2cnd playthrough currently and it feels like as if this game doesn't wan't to be played.
fun is just not allowed.

jokes aside, fc 2 absolutely demolishes the player and if you're not in the right mood for this game you won't enjoy it.

it does a lot of things that might come across as some of the most annoying bs in any fps ever and while i myself often feel this way when playing it, i think it makes the world what it is. it's cruel and everthing in it tries to fuck you up.
even when you think you killed an enemy, he grabs his gun and shoots you. you thought this one stupid mf was gone?
hahaha, no. he gets in his car and follows you until either of you dies.

it's a game i hate to play. everytime i start a mission and enemies shoot my car until i can't drive anymore i doubt my whole life. why am i playing it? but then i pull out my silenced shoutgun and feel like anton chigurh from no country for old men.

edit: if you play it as aggressive as possible it becomes THE playable action movie and you want the gun fights to never end.

edit (2): this is the ultimate "literally me"-game!!

this really is a playable action movie
the combat is very simplistic but to be honest thats what i enjoy about it
even though it doesnt come across as a hard game fighting the enemies feels like a struggle for survival
its you versus a whole fucking army
and everything has such a fucked up vibe
for example your weapons can litreally blow up
this game creates a disgusting but beatiful looking world that doesnt care about you
the enemies are way too aggressive at points and immediately know where you are
and sure that is really annoying but it adds up to its destroying nature
the whole malaria thing is just a gimmick and nothing else but it makes you feel like a soldier that has nothing to live for
it shows your mortality in this gruesome world
its an invisible enemy that is always around you
there is a lot i appreciate about this game and is without a doubt the best of its series
but there are also a lot of things i didnt like
why cant you just skip all the bullshit talking
yes its important for the immersion but i dont care about it especially when the npc's constantly shaking there head because of some stupid glitch
the driving is way too repetitive but i like that you really have to plan which route you wanna take
stealthing is basically impossible since the enemies recognize you instantly and is nothing more than left out potential
but the overall experience was pretty great
i recommend you just killing every enemy you see because they really wanna see you dead
most enemies just chase you with a car in order too run you over so just be careful and you wont be as frustrated as most people who hate this game
