I like Far Cry 2.
Oct. 25th, 2008 04:39 pmStupid game designers. Making me make decisions where one side is not obviously "right", and where the results of the decision will have actual real effects on the rest of the game.
What, do they think they're making something where I'm actually supposed to not get *everything* I want handed to me on a silver platter? Sheesh!
(The decision: Come to the aid of 4 beleagured mercenaries who are friends of mine and who have saved my life repeatedly, or come to the aid of a bunch of civilians. The deciding factor: The lead merc voice actor has a *really annoying* voice[1])
PS: Far Cry 2 should have been titled "Grand Theft Auto: Africa". But that's okay, because GTA games are pretty good, and FC2 doesn't have an endless series of insipid minigames. My only complaint is the lack of an Oblivion-style quick-travel to already explored areas - and the fact that the guards at the guard posts keep fucking respawning every time I leave the area. I expect both of these will be fixed with the 1.1 patch.
PPS: Black PCs not only an option, but a majority *and* a default. This is what you get when you have Canadians make games about Africa. I'm just sayin'.
[1]: If I hadn't picked the Kosovar PC, I would have a different Lead Merc. It's my own fault, really.
