Far Cry 2

[Dargor]

No unfortunately, I was hired 3 months ago :/ But I played through the whole game a couple of times and and tried the map editor a bit.

A shame, Dargor. I got it paid off today when I went to get Fable II, which is a sexy game.

you work for ubisoft, eh?  maybe they'll have you working on their 4589345 different wii games like throw thing at thing and balance object on thing II.

you probably have to sign a non disclosure contract but if there's any open source info you have on that awesome splinter cell game that hasn't been mentioned in almost a year that'd be great.

Spoilers ahead, don't click this if you don't want the game ruined.

Spoiler

You are the Jackal, and you have amnesia from malaria.

Also this looks very disappointing :<

You can have your own opinion but if you don't like them, then don't post shit like that.
It's totally useless and not constructive at all.

Actually Dargor works for ubisoft montreal, which made some pretty good games like assasin's creed

It was an actual question but if you're going to get butthurt over it forget it.

 

[Dargor]

Hmm, no I'm not getting butthurt about it. Actually, I find it quite funny because, you don't even know half of what we're working on. Your comment was just, lets say, inappropriate. Or you're probably just not well informed? Wii games are only a small part of our products, but I'm sure you know that

Obviously, I can't talk about that.

 

[Anski]

A) He can post shit that he doesn't like
B) You were butthurt.

Also, game has DRM on it, have fun with your limited installs.

edit: Ubisoft does make alot of carnival Wii games.

It's okay but if Prexus were here he'd say you were being oversensitive.

To Prexus, crying because someone chopped your dick off means you're oversensitive.

i'm feeling all the same complaints as treg, now that i have it too.

also why can i absorb more bullets than my jeep

it's impossible to get from point a to point b without going through one or 2 cars or hoofing it on foot.

i always play a sniper (sniper rifles+silencers all the way) in military fps games and being one here is ridiculously hard. the guys are confused for like 10 seconds, then just make a beeline to you, even if you moved to the total other side of the area, crouching and silent as possible.

i'm trying to snipe a guy in a small town right now and it's IMPOSSIBLE. I have to go to the middle of town, but if one guy even snatches a brief glimpse, somehow magically, everyone in town knows where you are and hits you with deadly accuracy. Then you try to run and they all know where you are and run faster than you because they're not pumped full of lead. I'm getting really frustrated with that :/

Also someone tell me, what are the story missions? Are they the missions directly from APR/UFLL? I've been playing for like 5 hours and only 3% of the story's done, but I have no idea how to progress the plot. Seems like this is another game that tries to be TOO open-ended.

IDK, I might give up on this game. I don't like to because I was really looking forward to it and it's not bad per se (it's still fun despite the flaws), but the frustration factor is annoying.

And yeah why the hell does everyone fire on me instantly? How do they even know it's me when I'm driving in a car 40yds away? How does every man in Africa know my exact face/clothes and to shoot me on sight???

 

[Venetia]

yeah i dont snipe at night and i try to only do it in the line of sight of one guy at a time. the most trouble I've had is in this small town and now i'm stuck in the middle of it and if I move even slightly i'm fucked by every sackjob in the whole area instantly, it's driving me fucking bonkers. I'm considering a cheat or something to get out of there which makes me want to poop my pants because i hate cheating on first playthroughs >8|

and i'm really noticing what marcus was saying about brown. jesus everything is SO BROWN. it takes a while to really absorb it I think because at first i thought the visuals were stunning. But then as I ran around like a dipshit between cars, I began to see that everything looked the goddamned same. And everything looks like it's coated in 14 layers of dust, even the sky. Even if Africa DOES look like that, they shoulda brightened up the colors atleast a little for a little less boring visual quality.

PC

This game is awesome, but I've got a gripe on the PC..

Is it just me, or does anyone notice a HUGE performance hit when there's extensive (or even just minor) collision detections nearby? I used to think it was just the shotgun, because every time I got into a firefight against people with the shotgun, I'd drop to 0 fps for like 2 minutes while it sits there and finally finishes the shotgun fire. I then found a 'fix' for that, and it helped slightly, but now that I'm further into the game, I notice that it happens whenever two things hit each other (excluding enemies/npc). So, if I crash my vehicle into some douchebag's vehicle cause he won't move out of my way, I have to wait, literally, 2-4 minutes for it to finish 'catching up' from the lag, meanwhile enemies can still fire on me just fine, and I usually find myself dead before the lag is finished. Other than that, I can run the game fine at 30+ fps with max graphics and 4x AA.

I dont notice any framerate hitches outside large explosions.

Solution: TURN OFF AA AND SEE IF IT STILL WORKS HURR

Just watched a Youtube clip of it and it looks visually stunning. A little "Rambo" like when he was pulling out an AK-47 then instantly revealing a rocket launcher just in time to destroy an oncoming vehicle. Nevertheless, looks great.

I'll be on PC platform over 360 due to PC is just MADE for FPS IMO

I've already turned graphics all the way down and played it, and it still happens. Thx.

 

[Venetia]

including turning off AA? because AA causes more lag than any texture or effect. or do you have a lot of background tasks occurring? do you have up-to-date drivers?

 

[Berserker]

I like far Cry 2 except two things:

  1)  Vehicles die too damn easy.
  2)  Aiming and shooting is odd for me, it is harder than any other game I've played.

I like the visual style and the OMG FIRE!
