While Far Cry 1 on PC was amazing.
Far Cry 2 on console was too big of an open world and boring.

Hoping Far Cry 3 goes back to success of Far Cry 1 with easier trophies on consolesPosted at 10:28PM on Aug 19th 2010 by S. Bains

Yep, hopes FarCry 3 being full of action and beautiful landscapes, like in good old days of FC1. ;)Posted at 3:59AM on Aug 20th 2010 by Mikhail

So it's been going for 2 years; need to see some real evidence now.Posted at 5:32AM on Aug 24th 2010 by Music Rab

FC2 was all about the multiplayer. Hope this is true about FC3, but that they can also improve the single player game.

FC2 multiplayer team modes like Uprising were some of the best online teamplay ever in a FPS. Things like incessant punkbuster kicks and waiting forever in the lobby for a game killed it -- those are the obstacles they really need to overcome.

Keep the excellent engine -- don't improve on it so much that frame rates take a nosedive. Keep the excellent netcode. Keep uprising mode and add more objective based modes. Keep the custom map editor. Keep the team sizes and map sizes about where they are. Only keep the separation of ranked versus player mode if you can find a way to encourage player mode -- otherwise just make custom maps available in ranked and dont worry too much about leaderboards and stat hoes and such.Posted at 7:49PM on Aug 24th 2010 by B

i think far cry 2 was the most amazing game ever. So many people thought that it was too long and boring and the story was drawn out and the people you are working fire would fire at you at checkpoints etc.

but honestly the real time was awesome, an actual 24 hour cycle, watching the sun rise for 2 hours while playing the game, watching it set for 2 hours while playing. And I felt more lost in the jungle than any game ever. The rivers were beautiful. The only thing that was missing was maybe a bright starry night sky, but even the night was in real time as clouds would come, moon position would change. It was awesome.

that being said the story did drag on a bit. But so many people think far cry 1 was better when really is was technologically inferior in many ways. The weapons felt very real especially the rocket launcher although I'm not sure a rocket launcher would spin off like that in real life, but since i've never been in the military I wouldn't know. I'm assuming the carl gustov rocket launcher is more accurate than basic rpg?

I really did feel while playing this game to be lost in the middle of africa, and at night could imagine how crazy it would be to be lost on some dark road in the woods and not be able to find my way back.

Wish the story was wrapped up better. But on a strong note I get the feeling this type of scenario could happen in africa, and that they studied similar scenarios. I honestly felt 'compassion' for the african people who have to go through similar crap like thiat. And the really open world that was TOO submersive still felt too realistic. Like being lost in africa would take just 5 minutes to get accross the country.

Anyway I can't wait to see what the next one is even about. I wonder if they could make it feel any more realistic. Hopefully it was a lot of good substance in it like this game did. I think this type of game will really change real world environments.Posted at 6:36PM on Aug 28th 2010 by danel

Personally, I thought Far Cry 2 sucked big time. Booorrrrring. Everywhere you went, same village, same terrain and the story was boring. At least when Far Cry the first came out, you were surprised by weird mutants partway in. But warlords? Boring.

Far Cry 2 also would not always follow its own rules. You would go in to buy weapons and he would not always sell, even if you had the cash. No matter what village you went into, the guy was the same, the building was the same...*yawn*

Bring back a little imagination for Far Cry 3. Yeah, the graphics much improved in version 2, but the story sucked big time.

Just my opinion.Posted at 4:32PM on Oct 2nd 2010 by dave

personally i thought far cry 2 was absolute genius. even with all the flaws i could just pick up the game one day and just go around africa wreaking havoc on the people, or i could try and hunt antelope from miles away with the dart rifle or just stupid shit like that. And the multiplayer was amazing too, but thats probably because i was that small percent of people that actually did good in games mostly because we played the same game type. For all the haters though, Ubisoft admitted that Far cry 2 had a lot of faults mainly because of corporate rushing the game, the ridiculous respawning guards, the expensive guns, the lack of mission variety and generally the transparent storyline. Also originally there were supposed to be predators in the game like crocs and lions but those were cut tooPosted at 11:43PM on Oct 28th 2010 by Lucky x 1C3
