Forum Overview :: FarCry 2
 
I'd really like fast travel. by Worm 10/26/2008, 10:30pm PDT
I guess the little bus icons facilitate that but they're rarely placed usefully, but even driving a little sucks dick given the default 2 star rating the game has you at, "hey that's the player, GET HIM!". Is there some checkpoint etiquette I'm missing? Even if you're just driving around, it's constantly any fuckhead you drive by is just on your ass forever, you need to pop out and kill him before you can move, just a bunch of driving brick walls to slow me down in my attempts to actually play the game. I wouldn't mind if it was the blood and crips were trying to gun me down, but they're supposed to be fellow contractors who just hate people who have malaria?

The unlock thing is nice I guess, so I don't need to hold on a sniper rifle or rocket launcher I looted to my despair through multiple situations where it's useless. Though it was something that would work best with normal scavenging, it certainly doesn't replace it, and I wish they had a little more humility than to mandate their little pet idea. It even wouldn't be so bad if scavenging got you some degraded weapons, but any item you scavenge (except the few newbie weapons you get) are going to suck fucking dick. No matter how well outfitted the guy you kill is the weapon he drops is gonna be rusty, totally queer. Also making having an AK47 or a silenced pistol a function of doing special missions and collectibles is just stupid. Though hey I'm sure Charles thinks it's a really compelling way to handle things.

So anyway, partial Farcry 2 review: queer and stupid. I like the way they handle extra lives (your buddy comes in and rescues you), though I'd rather have my buddy come and drive me places while I sleep, just like how I prefer to travel IRL.
