sounds amazing. like what crysis shouldve been, gameplay wise (in terms of environment, and everything not dealing with the nano suit)

Looks more compelling than any space marine shooter to me.

Still, the PC version looks a bit more lively imo - but it might be
the console version will look nice n warm on the screen after settings
adjustments.

i think they said the PC version will look better..but ull also need a high end pc to make it look better than the consoles.

I think this game and operation flashpoint will be a few tests to see if PC games still take a hit from the console version of games. OFP is a huge, open world game that seems like it\'s only possible on PC (controls, looking at the map, etc). but now theyre doing the new one on all of them. hopefully the pc version doesnt turn into a shell of what the original was.

kind of looking a bit too ambitious, especially since the last farcry on console seemed pretty shitty

from what I read, PS3 version should look a bit better than XBox version, and PC version, it depends from the PC you have :)

:)...it\'s not me, but the devs...and not every game :(

The developer says that the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC versions have been developed from the same core build, so they\'ll all share the same features. While we didn\'t see the PS3 version, it\'s claimed that the aliasing on Sony\'s machine outperforms that of the 360, while on the PC it\'s all dependent on the specifications of your machine.


well, devs could have told this, but who does care, it will be the same game.

not really game-oriented. basically some of the developers went to africa to get a better grasp of the setting (a little overkill IMO, but it\'s no money out of my pocket). But the dude\'s sean connery impression at the end is awesome

i guess toysrus has a 20% off $75 orders, but i can\'t decide whether to go through with buying far cry 2 or not..could be awesome, could get boring after a few days.

Im probably going to get fallout 3, for sure, but to push it over the top i\'d have to get far cry without knowing how the full version turned out..was planning on seeing what people thought of it before actually buying it.

not sold on LBP or motorstorm 2 to buy right away..resistance 2 maybe, gears 2 maybe..

the code is 922600 for anyone interested

have till the 11th to decide so if someone could decide for me...

toys r us sucks dick

i ordered farcry 2 on the 8th, and it said "release date 10/21" which it is. then on the 22nd i went to see if i got an email about it shipping and saw nothing. so i let it go a couple days and went to their site and for some reason they changed the release date to the 27th even though everyone has it right now

so i went down to toysrus and they had the game. so i see if they would let me buy it for the discounted price and cancel my copy from shipping..no can do for some reason. probably because corporate is too lazy to make a way for them to transfer that information from store-online/vice versa

mainly sucks because im going to get fallout 3 and farcry 2 on the same day (give or take 1 or 2)

lame...

Just buy one and return the one you get in the mail.  It will be sealed.  Case closed.

pretty damn fun game. gameplay wise it\'s a blast. and some people hate having to drive pretty far distances (the map is huge), but i just think theyre retard console people. these people would be up in arms about STALKER, and that didnt even have vehicles to help the travel. personally, i love driving around to the destinations.

my main 2 complaints
1) the dailogue is really bad
2) getting caught in fights driving around can be a pain in the ass. the videos made it look like "hop in the .50 cal and kill everyone" but that hasnt been working for me. ur a sitting duck on the machine gun and you cant always see the guys shooting at you

i think the 8-9 scores are fair

this thread is turning into a blog, but i f-ing love this game. stealth is a little iffy since everyone gets alerted so easily, but its still possible to sneak around and find the perfect time to start reeking havoc. sniping works better than going in splinter cell-y

using the flamethrower is fun as hell too, trying to come at the guys at the right angle so the flames propogate in the right direction (the wind blows the lighter thing on the flamethrower so you know which way it\'s blowing). only downside is the fire can die out randomly, but other times it can grow so fast you\'ll start shooting one direction and before you know it your surrounded by fire

definitly recommend 100% at least a rent. no one here seems to be too into the game for whatever reason, and a good amount of people find it too repetitive, so i\'d have a hard time recommending spending 60 bucks if you arent dieing for this type of game..but even renting it doesnt really let you get the game going (since it does start a little slowly)...just buy it, i guess

I will get it, but not now;  too many games, and I have to get others first.
