Re: Far Cry 2 Rant

Should I get uncharted or Fallout 3?

I vote Fallout 3. Uncharted is a quality game, but a bit overrated imo. Since it can be beat in less than 10 hours, it has rental (top-notch rental, mind you, but rental nonetheless) written all over it. Fallout 3, on the other hand, is pretty epic, even if it falls short of the standards Oblivion set.

I just traded this in and picked up Fallout 3 for $40. Amazing game so far. I just got to Megaton and I'm just checking everything out.

Much better than Far Cry 2 so far, so happy I got rid of that game.

On the other hand Far Cry 2 could of been great, but a few things just held it back. Its a shame, I hope Ubisoft fixes these issues and comes out with Far Cry 3 with the same concept and it will be a first day buy for me.

You won't be sorry about your decision / purchase. Fallout 3 is one of the deepest games i have ever had the pleasure in playing.

It is a shame about FC2, so much potential let down my some silly choices. I remember reading a review in the local paper when it first came out and they gave the game a perfect 10, kinda makes me wonder how much they actually played it.

I absolutely hated this game... I am embarrassed to even have it on my gamertag and wish I could lose the few achievements I got for it because I'll never play this game ever again..

Re: Far Cry 2 Rant

I gave up on the game after a few hours, it was driving me nuts. I may go back to it later when its cheaper.

I was really liking it right away. Those first couple hours were great. But then it just went downhill. Hated the story, the checkpoints, the random encounters, the malaria, all of it just became a drag. And why can these dudes in t-shirts takes 15 bullets to the chest before dying?

The game was close, but it just fell short.

What you both said.

This game was SO close to being awesome, but man, it just fell flat on it's face... very disappointing.
