Far Cry 2 is the most immersive FPS of all time

>massacre checkpoint

real immersive

FC2fags have been a thing longer than that literal who has had a "career" zoomy boy.

Nah it sucked. And the characters talked too fast.

main flaw with the game right there

sounds like zoomer projection to me. I didn't know who crowbcat was until this year and FC2 has been one of my favorite FPS for a long time.
The details and love put into FC2 amazed me then and they still do now.

FC2 is pretty damn great.

too bad this piece of shit doesnt even work on modern hardware with dx10

Far cry 2 and 3 are the most influential games of the last generation behind CoD and dark souls

optimised immersive soulful atmosphere

Any other vague bullshit terms?

Agreed
Nigger there’s like six of us.

Based. It's like im engaging in real nigger warfare.

i liked alot the map system, hunting diamonds and that you can make massive fires! Can you makes fire in the other Far Cry games? i really like that

That and

lmao

An elephant can't throw you through a roof that far. Regardless, I like whacky physics and had some fun with FC2/3/4/Blood Dragon but the formula is old and I no longer even bother buying anything with the Far Cry moniker.

Ubisoft completely fucked up CryEngine when they made Far Cry 2. Their version of the engine bears little resemblance and it also can't do entity persistence on its sector-based map system. Basically, when you move into a new sector the old sector is unloaded and this resets all the NPCs and there's no way to load and save their state.

>>*AK disintegrates after 3 shots*
Weapon degradation was increased 6x shortly before release. FC2 had a screwed up dev cycle and a lot of the features they planned were either cut or butchered. The reason everyone attacks you is because the entire faction system was thrown out.

Or they could just set a flag that triggers after you kill an outpost that tells the game to load a different sector with no NPCs the next time you enter it. Idiot.

jesus christ

>Or they could just set a flag that triggers after you kill an outpost that tells the game to load a different sector with no NPCs the next time you enter it. Idiot.
No, because you'd have multiple checkpoints inside each sector. You don't understand how much of a clusteruck FC2's engine was. Apparently there was one guy on the team who understood the sector layout, and if he'd been hit by a bus, the game never would have shipped.

It was kind of dumb how you could actually carry more ammo for the SAW than it could use before breaking. But I loved some of the other weapons. The way they were shitty gave them a sort of appeal.

I always played with the thumper, the dart gun and a FAL/AK.

Also, Far Cry 2's story would completely fall apart if they changed the number of buddies because the entire thing was spaghetti code that relied on exactly 12 buddies.

people shit on Ubi a lot (sometimes very well deserved) but they are okay in my book

Far Cry 2 has been my favorite in the series for a decade. Fuck Crowbcat for making that shitty video and missing the entire point of the game.
Stalker is better for immersion.

reminder if you didn't play as the angry irish manlet you played wrong

>not blaming IdleThumbs for memeing this a decade ago
typical zoomie

>wipe out checkpoint
>come back and it's full
wow so immersive

On subsequent playthroughs of FC2, I always tried to kill off as many buddies as possible, since I knew they'd come back. It was pretty funny how there was just 2 left at the end and I took out one immediately with a rocket launcher.

>dirty dry africa land
>you have malaria and every single nigger you come across shoots on sight

sounds about right
10/10 immersion

Far Cry 2 is a game where vehicle axles are attached to the rims of the wheels because that's totally how cars work.

Did you know that FC2 didn't have an animation director? They had to keep borrowing the guy from the SC: Conviction team to help them.

Also, the reason buddies stand around inside the safe houses is because they couldn't animate them due to tech limitations. Basically, they were originally supposed to be AI entities that would wander around and do normal stuff. The original Far Cry did this fine. Later Far Cry games like New Dawn have elaborate NPC life cycle stuff. But FC2 had to resort to static entities that repeated the same animation over and over. So... yea. What a completely fucked game.

It's a good thing the Crowbat video exists and got as popular as it did. Ubisoft probably saw it and will at least make some effort to put more TECHNOLOGY back into FC6.

Someone post the reload animation (you know the one)

TECHNOLOGY broke we got SJW tho

Nobody gives a shit if someone is standing there and talking to you. Maybe New Dawn should have included the ability of normal guns using non AP ammo to shoot through sheet metal.

Look like yet another normie zoomer shooter

Valid point on the surface, but literally zero reason to backtrack like that in practice. From checkpoint A, to safehouse A, to checkpoint B, to checkpoint C, to objective, to safehouse B - this typically takes hours upon in-game hours if not days.
>hurrrr chokepoint A respawned wtf

Unironically are there any overhaul mods that fix Far Cry 2?

>Nobody gives a shit if someone is standing there and talking to you.
Clint Hocking later remarked that the biggest mistake he made was failing to give players a reason to give a shit about their buddies. The fact the buddies can't move when you meet them outside of combat situations is a huge failing. It means you can't engage in any kind of social interactions with them. You can't go for a walk with them. You can't watch you buddy go about their day, and see what kind of person they are.
>Maybe New Dawn should have included the ability of normal guns using non AP ammo to shoot through sheet metal.
Not being able to shoot through metal without AP bullets is a deliberate choice. Far Cry 5 is the same. It's not some "TECHNOLOGY" nonsense. They had to write code to stop bullets going through metal specifically if you're not using AP bullets.

Depends on what you want fixed. FC2 Redux fixes some stuff, including the broken Jackal tapes, but FC2 has engine problems that no mod could fix.

This is best FC2-related video for all you faggots who don’t get why people like it

You've got mods to remove malaria and fix the bullet sponge enemies. Nothing can fix the respawning checkpoints because that's something fundamental to the game engine.

>mods to remove malaria
But... why?

if the argument is that the game is the most immersive game then you can't say that someone would have
>literally zero reason
to backtrack, since some people RP and could have a number of reasons to backtrack

>you can't engage in any kind of social interactions with them

Both me and friend I loaned FC2 both got really attached to our own favorite buddies. For me it was the irish guy and for him it was the southern american guy. There were lots of social interactions, like the in person conversations, phone calls, fighting with them on missions, being saved by them and also saving them.

I can't believe you're actually defending Ubisoft deliberately removing features from later games, too. There's no selectable ammo types in Far Cry besides the bow. Some guns will just magically not shoot through wooden fences and sheet metal and some that are special guns will, despite both using the same ammo. It's ridiculous that an M14 firing 7.62mm rounds will not penetrate thin cover. Any type of 7.62mm will do that. Hell, 9mm pistol ammo does it. Guns should all be able to go through thin walls like they do in FC2.

>There's no selectable ammo types in Far Cry besides the bow.
Modern Far Cry games have standard and AP ammo. In New Dawn you have to unlock AP ammo later on.
>Guns should all be able to go through thin walls like they do in FC2.
They do, as long as they're not metal. If bullets are failing to go through wood, that's likely a bug.

No it isn't and the game is irreconcilably shit the moment the first NPC opens his mouth, Jesus Christ Ubisoft sucks.

not really

No game is immersive if it's boring. If you're bored, your mind takes you out of the game. And I quit thinking about what's happening in the game and doing it on the autopilot most of the time. The content that's there is extremely repetitive and no amount of arsenal or customizations can make up for that. Whatever that's simulated is fun to play with at first, but then it's gimmicky and just there. The core gameplay is bad. Enemies are dumb (yes, despite being able to do cool things like ressing their friends etc.), shooting isn't satisfying, graphics are dull (although nicely detailed), story is shit, characters are shit, everything else isn't worth mentioning. Stop overrating this piece of mediocrity that's really the tech demo of the last gen. Crysis is at least fun. It's fun to shoot, it's fun to fuck around with. This? Meh.

I played it when it came out and quickly realized how much unfun is baked right in. Now its just a group of niche retards with mild autism on full defence mode

>They do, as long as they're not metal

Watch the Crowbat video.

>malaria
>infinitely respawning outposts
>difficulty dies at not even the halfway point once you get a decent arsenal
>stealth is dog shit with psychic enemies

7/10 still the best FarCry game but that's like getting a gold medal at the Special Olympics.

>They'll never bring back predator mode

>happily strolling the jungles of africa catching every disease known to mankind
>hears VROOM VROOM in the distance
>mfw no face

It was a lot of fun, but it had its share of flaws too.

Metro Exodus has it and every other immersive FPS game beat by a fucking mile. I was skeptical before playing it thinking it's a shit game but holy shit man it's unreal.
